Oh yeah, I agree that there are many ways of approaching this.

I like that the arguement is that there are technical limitations to age restricting graphic content, so the best course of action is limiting people’s rights.

Seems like people’s rights should be more important.

I mean you can easily flip those things.

America recovered faster and stronger from Covid than pretty much every other nation (without a recession), he’s the president who was finally able to get us out of Afghanistan (something the past two president’s tried and failed to do), and the infrastructure bill has been seen as a success I thought from most perspectives.

Not saying this is the right way to look at these events, but just that historians won’t be tied to knee jerk reactions. However, like most president’s I think opinions about Biden will largely be defined by what his actions led to down the road more than his impact during his presidency. What happens with Trump and onward will have an outsized impact on how Biden is written about in the history books.

Yeah in the modern age internet access should be considered a necessity. There are a lot of things you can’t do without the internet (like get a job or pay bills).

If that’s the kind of game you like, then I feel like online is the only kind that does it justice. Games like “Squad” or “Arma” try for that level of strategy and realism.

Yeah I threw out borderlands and fallout just cause most people don’t think of them as FPS so i thought it’s possible you haven’t run into them.

The issue is once you remove scifi/creatures from an FPS, all you’re really left with is humans, resulting in everything being mostly military/war.

One other game I thought of that’s an FPS but a bit out there is Neon White

If you’re willing to look at older games then it does open up a bit too.

The Wolfenstein series isn’t indie, but meets your asks. It’s an alt history FPS based in WWII, so most creaturish you’ll get is dogs.

Outside of that fallout and borderlands weren’t mentioned yet, but both have rpg elements and creatures. Fallout is alt history USA while borderlands takes place on another planet.

I believe a majority of military equipment is manufactured in the US, but would need to lookup a source. However, the government getting involved in the sale of US Steel and CHIPS act all show how there are active efforts to keep these things in the US.

I think this is one of the more depressing things I’ve read recently. Not only did the guy only get 17years for ruining thousands of kids lives, but he was serving time from home?

People like this don’t deserve a pardon.

I honestly found it refreshing and approachable compared to “Bethesda” like games. It played a bit more like KOTOR with a spread of worlds/biomes to explore in a more tailored and purposeful manner.

Sometimes the fully open world games end up feeling too barren and shallow. But that’s also what I liked about the first Rage and that was generally panned too :(

Also no way to verify the vote is real if no accountability
