Is it not normal to think about what I would do if I was diagnosed with rapidly-developing irreversible dementia, or if there was some horrifyingly painful apocalypse approaching, or if literally everyone I care about in the world all died and I was left all alone?

I had a go at Authoritarian, Scarcity, Chaotic, and Plentiful

The optimist says we are living in the best of all possible worlds.

The pessimist fears that the optimist is right.

Or possibly Las Vegas.

Not pictured: Also, it's snowing.

Comparing the attacks and India's response to 9/11 is apt because America's response led to America wasting billions if not trillions of dollars fighting a series of wars that had the primary effect of making people hate us even more than they did before, and also led our national politics down an ever stupider road than we were on before and let us directly to the point where we have our own tinpot dictator.

If history should teach us anything, it's that America's response to 9/11 is the absolute opposite of what one should do when attacked, if one wants to have a better long-term outcome.

Horizon Zero Dawn would have been awesome with a nemesis system, especially if it was applied to the robo-dinosaurs. You could have the in-universe justification that a particular robot uploads its consciousness upon death and downloads into a new body, and now it remembers how you killed it before and it will adapt accordingly. Start having epic robots that know you, and you have to keep an eye out for them, but also upon being destroyed they could dispense better scraps.

If it's going to have some kind of inventory system... figure out a way to prevent players from hoarding high-value items until the end of the game, at which point they are either meaningless because you're so leveled up, or else you can trivially defeat the final boss by spamming all the holy hand grenades you've been socking away.

This is a valuable way of seeing how prices have changed in different ways for different categories, just since 2000.

I knew I made this for a reason

"I'm not old! I'm three thousand and seven!"

Aw, this is what I get for not paying attention to what instance I was posting in.

I knew a guy who drove a taxi for a company in New York back in the 70s and one day he got in a wreck and totaled his cab, and a very large very Italian man came and told him not to worry about it and that everything would be handled and there was no need for paperwork, and that was the end of it.

Nah, that's what the gallon of liquid meth is for.

You may think you love your wife and kids, but you don't love them nearly as much as you're going to love cocaine!

That guy that took a picture of his phone, then took a picture of the camera taking that picture, then took a picture of that camera taking that picture, and so on...
