Just when I thought I couldn’t love the game more, they do this!

It’s hard to put into words how fantastic this game is. I know of three very different experiences the game offers, each of which is worthwhile on its own.

First, if you play with a kid who hasn’t been ruined by the kind of min/maxxing attitude that you develop when you play a lot of video games, you’ll get stuff like: “let’s go to the top of the mountain because the sun is going down” or “let’s stay here to listen to music for 10 minutes” type stuff. It’s really hard to facilitate this type of play, and the game does it expertly.

Second, if you play with one other person, you get to get good. After a couple of puzzles you start working together like a well-oiled machine, and it’s very satisfying to feel this.

Third, if you play with a large group, you don’t become a well oiled machine at all, and every puzzle is a new chaotic mess of miscommunication with 3 people wanting to do x and 3 others y, and this is fun in it’s own right. In addition, with this setup, you can lose each other, and get lost and randomly encounter eachother. The game has a host of imperfect remote communication options, and they kind of make for a meta puzzle on their own.

I remember one session where someone joined late (so the rest of the group was already on the other side of the island). Our group knew he was around because he’d shot some fireworks, but we didn’t see him for quite a while. At some point we were waiting for the train, and as it approached the bell rang, which it doesn’t do unless someone’s on it. Our friend was on the train! It felt almost like the riders of rohan arriving at helm’s deep or something. Never experienced anything like it in a video game.

Truly, truly a fantastic game.

Haha I love it when large corporations are down to earth and have a sense of humor. If you think about it they’re just like us :)

No if. You run torture camps where you detain people you’ve kidnapped from around the world. You kill innocent fishermen with navy seals. You murder entire weddings in drone strikes. You bomb baby food factories. You arm the Indonesians to carry out a genocide in East Timor. You drop chemical weapons on Vietnam. You bomb Cambodia and Laos, rendering about a million homeless. You kill one million in Iraq. You fund a genocide in Palestine. You fund a genocide in Guatemala. You bombed Yugoslavia when a diplomatic alternative that you proposed is on the table. You’ve turned Libya into an open air slave market. You’ve had Cuba in an economic stranglehold for decades, culminating in the current crisis. You’re the only nation that ever dropped an atomic bomb on civilian centers, and you did it twice. Six figure death toll those days alone. There’s no if. You’re a barbaric shitstain of a nation. Death to America.

You don’t have a leg to stand on, and it’s painfully obvious that you know it.

Do you ever reread the same sentence in a book? Does it ever help?

Over 55s own about 73%

Ok, so what this number establishes is that a significant portion of the owning class is over 55. What it doesn’t show is that the boomers are the ownership class. If one guy over 55 owns 75% of the country, you still end up with

Over 55s own about 73%

being true. You’re focussing on the wrong group of people.

This is your reminder that division along age or generation lines is as much of a distraction as division along race lines is. The real division is between who works for a living and who owns for a living. Simple as that. Sadly, the owning also includes owning the media and politicians (why yes, also most democrats), so there’s not much you can do either way. Get used to not owning a home.

I don’t think anyone thinks that. What people do think is that when you attack the form of a comment rather than its content, then you don’t really have a response. I strongly suggest you try to find an actual rebuttal to what I said rather than whatever the fuck this is. You might learn something in the process, which is something you seem to be in desperate need of.

Thank you for your explanation, I understand things so much better now! I’ve always celebrated the suffragettes as heroes, but no longer! I always celebrated Nat Turner, John Browne, and the abolitionists, but I see now that they’re evil too! I always celebrated the Hatian slave revolt, the resistance movements against the nazis, the ANC, the Warsaw uprising, the Ukrainian defense, the fight for Indonesian independence by Sukarno, and so on! They all used violence, what a fool I was for celebrating them! Thank you for making me see the light!

I completely fell for the “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” take from famed fascist Desmond Tutu. But thanks to your comment, I now see that violence bad. And if guy do violence, then guy bad! I can’t believe I never thought of that. What a well thought out take! Good job!
