  • I’m a bit surprised that nobody comments on the matriarchal speculation at the end. You’re all fine with that?

    Mathematically, I am not fine with that. The only way to have fewer men would be late-stage abortion or to murder newborns. Each woman would need to have 1.1 (surviving) children but still 2.3 born or nearly born children. While this may raise some ethical questions by itself, the greater crime is that it artificially inflates a metric without achieving the stated goal. It is lie by misapplication of statistics.

  • You could do the extreme minimum of preventing a fascist government.

    Or you could complain that the extreme minimum doesn't have those chocolate sprinkles that you like and step aside for fascism.

    Of course people will see that as supporting fascism.

  • No shade on the game, but the way people look at the barely conprehensible bloated MESS and think "it is hard to understand therefore it is smart and clever and deep wow" frequently pisses me off. Probably because we have the same tendency in software development.

    I have dug in and understood some parts, and so far it's a spaghetti bowl of retcon, made-up-on-the-spot stuff, very shallow metaphors, seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time and more ill-fitting retcon duct tape.

    It's just bloated by growing too long with no strong direction.

    And it's fine! The game is super and fun. It obviously doesn't need good plot so we shouldn't have to pretend that it has either. :)

  • Words don't all have meaning in isolation. :) The examples you give just have meaning based on the combination of words.

    A bit like letters. We don't think "r" is contradictory because in "fart" it describes something foul and it "tart" it describes somerthing tasty.
