Any first-person-shooter is technically a point and click game.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say “money”?

Mention the concept of a daily stand-up pledge of allegiance in schools in any other democracy and get laughed at.

I bet astronauts are great at showering.

have you ever had a shower in under two minutes and washed your whole body?

Yes. My first thought was whether there may be a “best practice” way of showering efficiently and which professions may have suggestions on that (either jobs that are very time-constrained or jobs that are tight on resources?) and whether there were more effective ways of catching the water than a bucket (maybe some elaborate tarp placement? probably not feasible. the ultimate tarp placement would be one just around the body like one of the shields in star trek or star wars. maybe one of those bubble soccer balls upside down filled with water and one showerer? rolling down a hill in a plastic hamster ball full of water would be fun. also terrifying and basically dynamic waterboarding, but fun) and that was when the two minutes ended.

Are you limited to either having a thought or moving your body at any given time? I hope you don’t drive cars or perform other activities that require more than zero thoughts at once.

Well, actually, a skull can exist, can lie on the floor, can decay, so it CAN do something after all.

No, it’ll be running THAT cave from DA2 over and over, but this time in different colours!

Experience and memory, mostly.

“People were complaining that I sent them to fetch me a sandwich every five minutes, so we listened to their complaints and next game, the player character will have no legs and thus not be able to move anymore.”

You now have a one-quest-long window to do these three steps in order otherwise you will never be able to complete this quest line due to missing out on the item that’s only available if you use this specific thingamajig on the other thingamajig in the hidden room. There isn’t any indication of that in the entire game, except that some quest will never ever finish and be stuck on the vague “find x things” stage forever. If you google how to finish the quest in thirty hours of game time, you’re just SoL. Better luck next run.

What exactly is the “role” one is playing here? Diviner? Psychic reading the game dev’s mind?

FOMO - the game

When cars encounter predators they cannot outrun in the wild, they sometimes shed a tire and maybe an axle to distract their enemy. Don’t worry, I believe they grow back in time.

Yeah, but you see, they stubbornly refuse to do it for free or at least slave wages, and you can only imagine how bad that is for wotc’s shareholder value. Selfish bastards, Larian, demanding to be PAID!

Depends. Can I still accuse them of raping and murdering?

Sorry, but no compassion from me: shouldn’t have built the road right under a lava stream. Stupid decision, really.

Gotta pack those ads and macrotransactions somewhere, right?

If you spend a dozen centuries doing your best to minimise your personal CO2 footprint, you can reduce the global output by half a millionth of a percent that the biggest culprits produce on a daily basis. Then you can watch the world race into the abyss with a clear conscience :D

Now, upon first glance, one might be tempted to conclude that this showcases an instance of hypocrisy - Trump demanding a clean rap sheet when it concerns others and being perfectly fine with getting power any which way himself, but upon closer inspection, it is obvious that this seamlessly fits into Trump’s system of moral standards, that system being best described as “ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME […] ME and also me”.

Best I can do is give you a list of the worst deals for you that will bring your money to the corporations who paid me the most with a nice helping of targeted ads for all eternity.
