Here are more recommendations if you crave "people figuring out weird crap":
Cohesion. It's fun to see them try to make sense of what is happening and I enjoy some of the group thinking albeit chaotic
Circle. The 'opinion' stuff in the movie feels forced, and at times feels like one of those YouTube eliminatoon games, but I love when they just figure out what is happening.
Exam. This is pretty heavy on figuring out what to do rather than monologues. The answer isn't quite satisfying but the journey to get there is interesting.
Cube. This comes so close to the perfect figuring weird crap out. No real complaints here.
TV:
Star Trek TNG: Darmok. Feel free to watch this episode if you haven't seen the show. Its a clever solution to an alien language that their universal translators couldn't understand.
Adventure Time Hall of Egress: this is free on YouTube. Holy crap this felt like a whole movie crammed in 11 minutes i was so sucked in to understanding what the heck was going on. Combined with using symbolism instead of exposition there is no wasted space in the figuring out part.
Games:
Return of the Obra Dinn. Its such a great mix of WTF is happening and "let's stop and think this out methodically". You can only experience this game once.
Outer Wilds. This is perfect. The endorphins that get released when you suddenly realize how things work is like discovering penecillin
The DLC in particular is the greatest experience I ever had learning about an alien race.
Fun thing I read a long time ago: when Ubisoft made their version of Tetris. It had stuttering and frame rate issues. Yes. Tetris had performance issues. 😆
I read it was because the game would check your friends list in the background for things, but QA play tested on simple accounts that didn't have a crapton of friends on them. They didn't realize what would happen when the game freezes while checking every single friend all the time.
And what was worse it was supposedly in a more main method making it too difficult to patch.
And what's more there is no model associated with not being driven by an asshole. And no one can prove me wrong 😄
To quote George Carlin "ever notice how anyone driving slowly than you is an idiot? And ever notice how anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC? It's a wonder how we can get anywhere at all with all these idiots and maniacs driving around. "
I have electric though. Worst case is the pollutants gone into the mining of the lithium and manufacturing of the vehicle. But how much of that can be controlled for mining and manufacturing?
I chuckled, but will probably turn to sadness after watching that episode again. :(
