Damn, you were faster than me.

Da könntest du recht haben! Die sehr vielen Kommentierenden, die den French toast als geeignet für den Geschlechtsakt oder sogar für die Ehe erachte, sorgen dafür, dass ich ihn bald erneut probieren muss, um mir eine neue Meinung zu bilden.

This is the way. Waffles and pancakes are in a different league compared to French toast.

One is smaller to account for perspective. I love everything about this!

Interesting, I had a very similar experience. I loved exploring the world, gaining new powers to unlock even more areas and growing stronger along the way. The world felt alive and authentic. Traversal was fun and combat was fair. I also liked how the characters you randomly meet have their own journeys, making the world feel dynamic.

But as the ending approached, it lost some momentum. With such a vast world and so much to discover, getting from A to B to C took time. I never actually finished the game but somehow that felt fine. It was more about the journey than the destination, which is rare for me.

If the initial reviews are good, the sequel might be the first game I buy at full price in a long time.

Preview saved me but nice attempt.

I had the same hope the last time this clown was president (welp, there goes my US visa). It didn’t happen. Maybe this time it’ll be different but as long as conservatives have any saying in EU politics I’m very much sceptical.

Let them cook.

That was my first thought as well but if you think about it, it’s very much in context with the mutual feeling a lot of people have about the state the world is in right now.

I’m playing this game for the first time right now. It’s safe to say that it captivated me. The world they created is astonishing. Even after well over 50 hours I’m not bored at all.

Your post really captures the beauty that can be found if one takes the time to look. Thank you for your relentless posting!

I really liked the game something like 15 years ago. But it seems like a bad idea to get back into it now with only a few very dedicated players left.

I disagree. Improving an existing concept and changing it to make it more practical or easier to produce for example is innovation.

The examples you gave in the introduction are examples of that: The parts that make an automobile existed when it was invented and you could argue again that it wasn’t a completely novel idea but an improvement of the steam engine and horse-drawn vehicles.

The airplane massively relied on improvements in engine and material design.

Your assessment that innovations used to be completely original in their design and are not any more is a fallacy.

I really like the 3rd and subsequent 4th panel. It would be worse with only three, imho.

I prefer if you refer to procrastination as “working in mysterious ways”. That’s what I’ll do from now on.

What a delightful lemon!

You mean like a hermit? I think that’s a rare fantasy. But if you want to do it, sure, go for it. Isn’t there a lot of space and wilderness in Canada?

The issue, as I see it, is that most people struggle to envision a society beyond capitalism. Capitalist ideology is embedded in every aspect of our lives. It appears in our mindset, in books, movies, and even in children’s television shows. The narrative that anyone can succeed if they work hard enough, and that poverty is simply the result of laziness, is both powerful and pervasive.

The idea that everyone should live in isolated cabins is neither a realistic vision nor a desirable goal for society.

That’s a nice quote, thank you. I looked into it. It’s by Andrew Collier:

To look at people in capitalist society and conclude that human nature is egoism, is like looking at people in a factory where pollution is destroying their lungs and saying that it is human nature to cough.

Agreed. The reviews are way too good for a Civ game on release. Would be the first in a while that doesn’t need DLCs to be really good.
