I think a lot about Disco Elysium's take on centrism. The writers are scathing in their critique of every ideology under the sun, no one spared - but none receive such venom as MORALISM. Even nationalism & fascism are treated as mostly pathetic, emasculating - centrism is the true face of terror.
![the thought cabinet for KINGDOM OF CONSCIENCE. the image in the background is art created by artist Anton Vill, in the style of Hieronymus Bosch and Eduard Wiirald, depicting a surreal blend of man, animal, and machine.
KINGDOM OF CONSICENCE
Bonuses from the thought:
Moralist dialogue options heal +1 Morale
Learning cap for Volition raised to 5
Learning cap for Logic raised to 5
PROBLEM / [SOLUTION]
The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is *control*. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

Truly feels like the bottom is falling out of games. Communities cling to calcified, 5 year old titles. Games criticism and analysis just don’t exist anymore. Publishers are taking fewer gambles than ever.
It really seems like we are getting people out of the habit of trying and talking about games
