If the choice is between working on a literal genocide machine and dying, the moral choice is dying. Granting an exception for the guy who sabotages the genocide machine by building in a way to blow it up.

I have a solution.

We rename the continents.

You can’t use the second because the official name for Mexico is United Mexican States.

There’s also the Republic of Ireland, the Republic of Korea, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the United Republic of Tanzania, the People’s Republic of China, the State of Kuwait, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Latvia, the Principality of Monaco, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Commonwealth of Australia, the Republic of Peru, the Republic of Paraguay, the Republic of Ecuador and a whole ton of other countries who are called by the last word in their official names because that is HOW ENGLISH WORKS.

And if you really gave a damn about all the people in Latin America, you’d call them by the proper names of their countries.

But if you insist I’m wrong, go over to lemmy.ca and post a thread telling them they’re American. See what they think.

I’m pretty sure those crusaders are not from the Americas.

Well, just about every world is a dystopia with only one climate.

It occurs to me that the Star wars universe just might not have weathermen.

The texture on those walls just makes me shudder.

Scratch is from the end of the original game, but I did hear that Sam Lake confirmed in a tweet that American Nightmare is canon.

Looking back on previous floods of alt-right hate… If it feels organized, it probably is.

Alan Wake is pretty interesting from a female perspective, because it’s a male hero but it’s good a pretty good female supporting character in the Sheriff and the plot with Alice is really interesting in light of the idea of fridging. Also, the sequel will have a second playable protagonist that’s a woman.

I’m not sure if Stray counts as Cyberpunk, but it has most of the trappings and is a great game. A bit short. It’s kind of like the futuristic part of Cyberpunk taken beyond the extinction of the humans.

You play a cat that has accidentally fallen into a walled city that’s full of human-like robots and uncover what happened to the humans as you try to get out.

Seconding Control. One of my favorites.

These things scare the hell out of me still.

It would be nice if language worked like that, where the term remains precise as it propagates. But that’s not the case. Boomer Shooter is being used to refer to the old games, and that is how many of us were introduced to the term, as a reference to the OG games.

Did you tell this to the kids who coined the term?

I think maybe the irksome thing is this is a retroactive label for older games. It’s not how we got to know those games, and it sounds pretty dismissive of something we enjoyed and loved. smart_boy below has the right idea, reclaim the term, realign the meaning.

You have redeemed the term.

Another Tusky user here. I like it a lot.

If you’re depressed, sometimes you lose interest in your hobbies. You might want to look into seeing someone.

I will say, you seem a bit worried about no longer considering yourself a gamer, like this burnout has led to a crisis of identity. You are MORE than your hobbies. Gamer is a temporary state based on what you are doing. It is okay not to be one. You’re still you.
