It’s a school activity, why isn’t the school paying for the materials

Well maybe many of those communities are actually filled with 14 year olds

When he says “idiot” I could swear I’m listening to Napoleon Dynamite reading the bible.

Horizon Zero Dawn, Planet of Lana

Yesn’t.

Not exactly what you’re asking for, but Subnautica slowly builds on a primal fear without resorting to jump scares. It’s increasingly unsettling and you start finding excuses to just stay in your habitat to decorate instead of going outside. Possibly the best horror game I’ve played.

Life is strange has elements of it (think Butterfly Effect: the game) during parts of the game, although it gets pretty explicit rather than subtle.

Oxenfree also has elements of it, with people behaving weirdly etc. But it also mostly gets fairly explicit. Still, no jumpscares.

You know what? I don’t care and I stopped reading this article after one paragraph because I found that I couldn’t be bothered to go on. During the reddit exodus I was pissed off about how they would ruin something good, but I’ve long since lost interest in what happens on that site. Honestly I was a tiny bit surprised that it still exists. Like who the heck goes there still?

Why does it need to reach 1 million names exactly? This is a petition, right?

Better that than screaming as you poop.

I think of it more as a budding fascist dictator vs a senile moron. Which is why I’m extremely worried that the former wins. At least with the senile moron, the rest of the senate and staff can sort of hamper on reasonably without irrepairably dismantling democracy. This is a 1930s Germany type of situation.

I don’t think it’s a big deal where you start. The latest iteration of Riven will likely be the most accessible and that’s probably what matters most if you’re just starting out.

Much of the appeal (for me at least) is that the storyline is a Tolkien-like epic story spanning thousands of years. Myst takes place before Riven, and if you wanted to consume it in chronological order you would start by reading the books (which are surprisingly good). But it’s fine to go back and “fill in the blanks” if you play in a different order. It’s like reading The Hobbit after you read The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Also note that Riven and Riven 2024 are the same story so there’s no need to play both of them. Same with Myst, just pick the most modern iteration of it. The versions that allow you to move and look around freely take away a lot of frustration with trying to make out what the world looks like and finding clues.

The elephant is hiding. Do not let it know you can see it. The illusion that it has found a good hiding spot must be maintained at all times.

Also it’s only a conspiracy if there’s intentional disregard for the best interests of people whom you are intentionally hiding information from. Where I live they were pumping out hormones into the river all the way back into the 60s, screwing up fish life. But it’s because they were ignorant and dumb. This is from the same time when the government had a campaign for people to weigh down garbage with rocks before throwing it in the sea, because it’s unsightly when it floats.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
