Armored MMA! Cage fights in authentic armor, with historically accurate weapons. I've yet to get in armor, just soft kit sparring and pell work with the real weapons.
There's no ethical consumption under capitalism. And yet, we're still forced into capitalism, with little choice but to participate or starve. You can object to a system and say that it's unethical, but also necessarily play into that system.
We all gotta eat. Long as there's our current form of capitalism, we all gotta pay rent (or mortgage). Until those needs relax, we're essentially saying "pick between your needs and being a good person." One of our strongest drives is to survive, and so if the only way for some to survive is off the backs of others, it's the inevitable outcome.
Of course we should all be striving to change this. Effective change comes from slow, repeated effort though, not just fruitlessly chasing an ethical job. If you just stay where you are, then that's fine. Do what you can from within, safely. We all do that, and we'll slowly steer this ship.
Sword fighting. I joined an armored combat gym and just went consistently. They provide the equipment, at least til you get to the point you want your own armor and weapon. Good fun, good exercise.
Ahh, relative privation. We're not allowed to work on anything until we all collectively agree what the worst thing is, and then we're only allowed to work on that thing. As it should be.
I'm of two minds. I love the convenience of 24/7, but we were JUST THERE. we saw just how much the corpos will demand in order to keep staffing for all 24 hours. People need time off, and they deserve for it to be consistent and "normal". That doesn't happen if the corporations have a say in a 24 hour shift.
I'd love to see expanded hours not being 24/7, but having different start times. No reason every shop has to open at 6am, some can open at 6, some at 8, some 10, etc, and with a similarly staggered closing time, we can have the convenience of having things open when we're available, and not have every minute of our lives scheduled by a corporation.
Obviously there is still a case for overnight shifts. Emergency work, for example. And we need some support for those people working in an industry that has to be always open. I don't know that there's a good solution to compromise on both situations without just an excessive amount of regulation.
Witcher 3 and cp2077 definitely had what i'd consider full sex scenes. Like, you don't have full on piv, but it's about as close as, say, TV typically gets.
That's one thing I love about shadowruns setting. You have all the races, but they don't really have to have a space carved out for them, since humans just became these races literally overnight. They just fit in with society as human, but...
You found the point. It's not about having it scale to the level the official servers are at. It's about preserving it in some fashion, so that the dedicated few can still experience it. We don't need thousands, we need a few dozen. And, if developers develop with this design philosophy - that eventually the game servers will be shut down and we have to release a hostable version at end of life, then the games can be written from the ground up with that implementation in mind.
I think it has real staying power, if they can make the rest of the game as content rich as the first dozen or so hours. It's only a flash in the pan because there's not more fuel. As is the case for a lot of early access.
See that's the weird part. They stay on my face. I've always been a restless sleeper, and I think I just hated waking up blind and disoriented, so I learned to keep them on when asleep.
I've been making an active effort to not do so the last... Couple of years I guess. It's a bit more comfortable when I remove them, but I'd say maybe half the time I still just forgot to take them off.
I don't know, I have since I was a kid. My eyes are REALLY BAD so I think I just hated waking up blind and disoriented, so I just learned to sleep in them.
I've had the exact opposite experience. Last time trying glasses at a local place, they hurt my eyes and couldn't figure out how to adjust them properly. Every pair I've purchased on Zenni has lasted multiple years of me sleeping in them or doing contact sports in them. I still have multiple pairs kicking around my house or car as spares.
