IIRC number keys are shortcuts for abilities, so optional.

It’s such an overcrowded genre isn’t it?

Well it’s not really a genre, just a mode of perspective.

Disco Elysium ditched combat for an everything-is-dialogue-approach and it is really really good.

Maybe some classic, more phantastical CRPGs with turn-based combat are more your juice than Disco Elysium: Baldur’s Gate III, Pillars of Eternity II, Fallout. Planescape Torment, Tyranny, Pathfinder, Pillars I and the rest of the Baldur’s Gate series rely on real-time combat with pause which might get tedious when only using the mouse.

The idea that a corporation should only benefit like 3 people at the top is a relatively new beleif

So the caricatures of ultra wealthy factory owners from the 19th century were just visionary fantasy?

and be replaced by neighnourhood watches?

We shouldn’t cherry-pick from millenia old scripture.

Video games are a luxury and it should be easy to avoid them.

Why should it be different in other European countries in this regard? I mean, is there a sociological or cultural reason for this? Or is it simply german grumpiness?

Source?

The most cowardly and entitled boycott is certainly the one where you still consume without spending money.

It’s not different. Nintendo’s target group just don’t want to bother with it.

It‘s called civil forfeiture and it’s legal. This country never left the Wild West.

Then let the next GTA take place in Scotland, leave the yanks in the dust.

Eurogamer.net - Chris Tapsell - 3 / 5

Not that South of Midnight is a disappointing game - far from it - but that it’s such a shame for it to get so close to being something so genuinely special. This is a game of just remarkable craft - we’ve not even mentioned the stop-motion style of animation! It’s lovely - and likewise remarkable attention, thought, and care. If only just a little more of that care had been afforded to the playing of it.

Germany‘s neo fascists use support for Israel as a fig leaf, „look we are no Nazis, we support the Jews this time!“. Same reason why Weidel dug up that ultra stupid theory that Hitler was actually a lefty socialist. Conveniently, said support also hurts people they actually really hate. A crooked sense of historical responsibility was the perfect circumstance.

I‘m otherwise happy to read up on those ideological foundations you mentioned that Germany couldn’t get rid of in post colonial Europe.

Thanks for the lesson, but to be clear: I’m not oblivious to positive racism and don’t support the authorities’ actions from the news article. I just think it’s a combination of multiple factors why support for Israel is as high as in Germany, and I think none of those is an instrinsically hightened disposition for racism.

No, I’m saying there are parts of Europe that are just as casually racist as East German hinterlands. I wouldn’t equate the government’s stance on the war to the general sentiments in the public. I think it’s just not that high of a priority for most people, kinda understandable considering all the shit that‘s going on, nationally and internationally. The October 7th attack was the first time for years that this war got extensive media coverage.

Then avoid the streamers? I’m sure the marketing experts employed by Ubi know what they’re doing. I’m also done defending that crappy company.

The “making of amends”, the historical processing of what the hell happened with honest effort, didn’t happen in the 50’s, it started in the 70’s during and after the student protests. The processing of these crimes is an almost impossible task, its execution was and is far from perfect, its intended lessons apparantly start to wane, but I’ll not slam the efforts done by so many people.

I also wonder if you ever visited Eastern Europe if you think the vast majority of countries in Europe have overcome “the ideological foundations of Racism”.

edit: And btw. German Sinti and Roma, descendents of the victims you refer to, don’t want to be referred to as “Gypsies”.
