  • It's possible. It's definitely a game that asks a lot of the player to get immersed in the underlying story. Lots of relatively dense philosophical excerpts to read in the terminals. That's on top of lore-related text to read which really fleshes out the pretty dark story they're telling. Then there are the puzzles which might not be everyone's thing.

    The second game improves this greatly by moving the majority of the story out of text and into voiced dialogue with NPCs and a few cutscenes. The jump from the Serious Sam engine to UE5 is pretty mind-blowing in terms of graphics. I think there's going to be a third one, as well?

    If the game can't suck you in, I'd at least recommend looking up the story. It's pretty neat.

  • Aside from obvious ones like Baldur's Gate 3...

    Talos Principle 2 is fantastic from start to finish and makes you feel smart. I'd say playing the first one is a must in order to really enjoy it. The dlc, Road to Gahenna, is skippable. Most people I've talked to find they already own the first one somehow and just never got around to playing it.

    Viewfinder was also good but felt kind of short. It's priced fairly, though, so it's worth a try.

    Ghost Trick was really really good on the ds, not sure how well it translates to pc but the reviewer liked it. Some part of its charm was the interaction with the stylus. If it goes on sale, absolutely pick it up.

  • Fun fact about Wisconsin: the Republicans were furious that a Democrat was going to be elected after Scott Walker's fascist stint, so they rushed through several legislative changes to limit the powers of the incoming governor as a final middle finger to democracy.

  • This happened in Georgetown, where the most likely crime you'd ever experience is how much the shops charge for a mediocre cupcake or expecting reservations to actually matter at Founding Farmers. It's a city like any other and, depending on the year, usually averages a bit lower in crime rates.

  • I'd be curious if there are actual numbers out there, but a number of ex-Catholics I know have deemed Francis the antipope and have latched onto some random local evangelical church that aligns with their political values. I could definitely see this guy jumping on board with that.

  • Pretty sure it's his son who was uploading "adorable" animal clips to various social media sites. They'd get thousands of people to upvote/like/favorite them and you'd maybe get a handful of people in the comments mentioning it's Doc's son. Highly likely he was following in the footsteps of his father and most people were oblivious because aw so cute.

  • There are certainly some factions within the Republican party that would look at the current situation with glee, but I think you're right.

    I remember reading some analysis back when Grover Norquist was having Tea Party members sign pledges/get others to sign pledges, that those pledges would eventually create a lose-lose situation for the opportunistic Republican candidates that signed them. They seemed to be beneficial from a populist standpoint, but were fundamentally incompatible with the reality of politics requiring some amount of give and take.

    Basically predicting a situation somewhat similar to this.
