I just bought this after playing satisfactory and I love the optimism in this game.

I'm so into it. Sure you can tell it's made by a small team but I couldn't tell it was made by 2 people. I don't like playing with mods but this one worked well with them to get rid of a bit of storage monotony.

Oh my god, that's awful. I am in shock people are dismantling our healthcare system and their voters think it's a good idea.

Which Provence are you in?

Joe-joe-bah oil!

I loved exile so much! It was made by pesto studios and I feel like cyan wouldn't want to make any of the non cyan Myst games. However they sought after and received the rights to all of the Myst games. So who knows, maybe they would.

This demos so well! I played the original 1997 Riven, I hope 2024 Riven can make an impression on newcomers!

It's so deep, expansive and immersive and I'm not sure if there is anything else out there that has the same feel.

I think you're right in that it's better to be subtle.

The thing about audiences is that they span the gamut, so a little bit of in-your-face is likely seen as warranted for that spectrum of the audience, and a little bit of subtle for observant viewers casts a wider net.

Although I find Doctor Who to be among the least subtle in whatever it tries to do in the genre so, anything over the top kind of feels like it fits in the show as long as they intersperse the season with less obvious commentary as well. My partner only complained that everyone was running around and screaming the whole time 😂

Let's just hope nobody interprets using proper pronouns as leading to a nuclear apocalypse 🫣

I liked the commentary. I find in sci-fi a short parallel to our world is often not seen as a jab because the veneer of sci-fi is enough to disguise it for most people.

I asked my partner if he noticed the commentary and he didn't at all 😅

There is a drug called loyal in testing, someone linked to it here as well.

It's mostly sold as alternate history for the space race, but it's first and foremost a drama.

Drama about people that happen to go to space in an alternate world.

Drama about people having sex with >! their dead children's best friend who they also raised once their parents went to space and died, the repercussions which amazingly happened for multiple seasons, it's kind of weird. !<

The driving force of the show is not the alternate history.

Oh my god. I played those when they came out, except the newest one.

They were good for its time for the people who loved Myst games and then sought any adventure games that remotely resembled point-and-click adventures. We played really cool but definite imitators like Schism Mysterious Journey, The Longest Journey, Atlantis games, and The Journeyman Project.

Then came a developer called Microids with another pre-rendered point and click: "Amerzone", everyone played that.

Once we got used to low-budget point and clickery it was only natural that when Microids came out with Syberia we all played it and loved it in the vacuum of adventure games back then. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone blindly as they were a product of its time.

I still have to play the newest Syberia and Longest Journey, for nostalgia's sake only.

Yeah they are relentless with their silly stuff.

I'm glad to see windscribe on this list. One of the best performing VPNs for Canadians.
