Idk... if a developer doesn't care enough to pay actual human storytellers to create a game I sure as hell won't care enough to play it.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

There is nothing wrong with you if you feel overwhelmed by the state of the world right now.
I’m more concerned about people who don’t feel concerned about what’s happening in the world today.

I wonder why people don’t trust traditional news outlets anymore🤔
How can News Corp call its gas splash an ‘exclusive’ and a ‘special report’ when it’s paid for by industry? | Adam Morton
Readers led to believe a short-on-facts advertorial exhorting government to let companies extract more gas is straight news coverage

@crateentertainment.bsky.social I picked up both Grim Dawn and Farthest Frontier and am loving them. I haven’t enjoyed an ARPG for a long time.

Australia's Macquarie Dictionary crowns #enshittification as the word of 2024
As @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy said earlier this year: "We’re all living through the enshittocene, a great enshittening, in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit”

Humanity already learned that attacking morale doesn't work, whether by bombing the UK, firebombing Germany, or the atrocities of the Eastern Front. It's trivial to galvanise a country against the enemy when the enemy is literally war criminals.

I checked out this demo some time ago and picked up the full game during its current sale. Every map I’ve played finished at exactly the right time: just as I was starting to feel I’d almost accomplished all I wanted to but before I actually had. Great survival city builder!
