How would any other party get any time on a national platform to campaign, the way Democrats and Republicans do? I mean, we do have more than those two parties; but they're never included in big debates or really given any attention at all. I'm surprised I don't hear idiots saying shit like "Dude, I voted today and there was like 6 motherfuckers on the ballot instead of just two!"
It's the arcade-ified evolution of System Shock, IMO.
It has a lot of the same mechanics and ideas; but it's all an inch deep instead of having any real depth.
As an RPG hybrid, it kinda sucks. As a straight up FPS, with action as the primary feature, compared to the contemporaries at the time is pretty good. Similar to how Fallout 4 sucks ass as an actual RPG, but is a pretty great FPS.
I would actually be amazed if I ever bricked a PC fucking around with installing software to it. At the very worst, I might have to move a jumper pin to flash the CMOS and start fresh like I never even touched the thing. If somehow even that fails, it would be a unique experience.
Just on my Lemmy.World account. Pawb is down for maintenance while they clone the database and move things around today. The display name is still Kolanaki, tho.
I just started it up yesterday, and went to bed right after their big fight. So it does sound like that was supposed to happen. Now I wonder if I could have avoided being arrested. Like I have failed every single speech check the game has given me, and I know at least 2 things could have been way different than it ended up going because of those failures. lol
I am playing that, and I don't know if the story always goes this way, or if I just suck so bad at speech craft and the game changed based on my dialogue failures, but Hans and Henry hate each other now.
At least games make sense, as the graphics get better. Though in some cases, the compression is also better. Like PS5 games are smaller on average than their PS4 versions, even though they have higher resolution textures in most cases, just because the PS5 has better compression/decompression tech.
It'd take me over a month to reach DC if I walked there.
