That is sad to hear. I really enjoyed Rime and also The Sexy Brutale. They both had great aesthetic and atmosphere.

Garbage comes in different states of matter…

Yeah and the other part is proud of that fact, which fits to be honest…

It’s not so much nature lovers but social media “content creators” who are criticized here.

There was a case I read of a man caring for a beautiful patch of flowers, but then it got famous on social media and those assholes went there in buses, took pictures lying in there and destroyed it. Heartbreaking to read about that one. Sadly I can’t find that specific case anymore, but there are enough articles about the problem, like this one.

Let’s try and keep it below 10 11 entries:

• Disco Elysium
• Outer Wilds
• Hollow Knight
• Shadow of the Colossus + Ico
• Pyre (+all other Supergiant games)
• Valkyrie Profile
• Banner Saga trilogy
• Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
• Chrono Trigger + Cross
• Eastshade

Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though…

Honestly, games like Undying are exactly the games that need a remaster to fulfill the vision that was clearly there in the original. The first 2/3 are still a marvelous horror game, but the end is so unfulfilling.

Thanks for sharing your work here, I especially like your interesting cast of characters a lot!

It is rare in a fictional work to see somebody truly believe in a religion but not liking (all of) it. In the D&D setting they could choose to believe in another god and then they go into that after life, if they stay true to that new believe, right? It’s an interesting perspective to accept a believe based metaphysical thing as it is, even if you don’t like the whole package (ideals+after life).

And rumors regarding past events need to be rumors far more often! =D

I mean, I’m not an ultra fan, only a casual one and I dislike that. The whole over the top style of WH40k is exactly what was fascinating about it. If I want to play something with modern soldiers, I have Battlefield or Call Of Duty. I play 40k games for the absurdity of it. That’s exactly the kind of “I know better what the fans want” that most bad adaptations are born out of. Luckily it seems they didn’t feel the need to change too much.

But admittedly, I can understand that you don’t want to create something where you are pretty sure enough media illiterate idiots will not get that the fascists are NOT supposed to be the good guys.

Thanks for the confirmation!

That was my source of confusion: finding out, how stuff works exactly is science. Even if we know the rough principle, the details might reveal some new things.

Here is my try at explaining it in layman terms, but I’m not 100% sure I got the meme completely right. I didn’t do protein crystallography, only organometallics.

Crystallography is the dark magic art of turning nice really small crystals into pictures of molecules (or more precisely: 3D maps of electron density) The scientist in the meme wanted to measure the same protein, but under different pH conditions, so either adding some acid or some base while the crystals form. Then they hopefully get different structures at different pH values and can make a nice video animation like a flipbook to show the change in structure.

And I think the meme makes fun of the fact that the scientist did this experiment with a certain expectation and then that expectation happens but the scientist is surprised by it happening.

They chose a protein which is a reductase, meaning it can reduce the oxidation state of certain molecules. Such a reduction reaction is often dependant on pH value in organism (I think), therefore changing the pH value changes what the protein will do in the crystallization solution.

Well, I’m not a linguist, but I would guess because most sentences are about nouns, so recognizing who is doing what easier might be a reason.

But honestly, you are already on the wrong track if you ask for reasoning in a language. That shit is completely man made, so we could make it logical. But nooohoo, every language has so many exceptions to their rules.

Because in the German language all nouns are capitalized.

Or was that a joke on children and capitalism?

I’m trying to think of any game I played that was like that. You have some examples (western or not, old or not) on your mind?

You need a cool area (around 10°C) to store the sauerkraut, so if you don’t have that, putting it in the fridge is also a possibility. And 99% of the time the container is sealed with a water ring, or mold could start growing. Therefore the smell (what I think you mean is the problem with shared apartment) isn’t there all the time, only when you cook it and open the container… which are the same times as when you use bought sauerkraut.

Mixing in a bit of fresh sauerkraut into the cooked one also helps giving it back a bit of texture.

And you can eat raw sauerkraut, no cooking needed at all. This would give you the most bacteria for your guts.

And I highly recommend making your own sauerkraut. You can spice it to your liking and stored in a cool area it keeps over the whole winter.

Bei deinen Worten musste ich an Disco Elysium denken, wo es folgendermaßen zusammengefasst wurde :

Congrats – you’re sober. It will take a while for your body to remember how to metabolize anything that isn’t sugar from alcohol, so you’re going to be pretty ravenous soon. Eat plenty. You can expect your coordination and balance to improve in a couple of weeks. In two months, you might start sleeping like a normal person. Full recovery will take years, though. It’ll be depressing. And it’ll be boring. Don’t expect any further rewards or handclaps. This is how normal people are all the time.

Leider muss ich die Aussage des Artikels als falsch bezeichnen. Das Problem ist folgendes:

PFAS sind eine Gruppe von Verbindungen mit Millionen von verschiedenen Einzelsubstanzen. Was in der Studie gemacht wurde ist, dass nach gezielten Einzelsubstanzen gesucht wurde und diese nicht gefunden wurden.

Sie haben auch probiert, die Umsetzung von PFAS zu unbedenklicherem Fluorid zu messen, allerdings konnten dort nur rund 80% gemessen werden.

Das Temperatur die einzelne PFAS Verbindung kaputt machen kann ist schon lange bekannt. Das Problem ist immer noch die Bedingungen zu finden, bei denen nicht auch andere PFAS gebildet werden, sondern ausschließlich unbedenkliche Zersetzungsprodukte.

Und das zeigt diese Studie eben nicht vollständig, da der Verbleib von rund 20 % der Fluormenge nicht nachgewiesen werden kann. Ein Teil wird sicherlich in der Keramik und Metalloberflächen im Ofen hängen, aber wie hoch dieser Teil ist, ist eben unbekannt.

Same as you, I liked the more grounded part better.

The atmosphere is brilliant and the world was so creative. Cyperpunk is hard to do realistically, but Norco managed to create a believable dystopia to me. Because it wasn’t that different from our own.

And I applaud the developers for the jump scare with the smartphone and the hobo. That one was really well done.

Wow, it seems I completely merged those two games in my mind. Because I can’t find anything regarding randomness now that I’m looking for it. Thanks for correcting it!

Thanks for the review!

What I find fascinating is that there is no fixed solution, even though it is a detective game. Therefore you can’t just look up in a guide, but rather still need to do the detective work and deduce the culprit from the clues.

EDIT: seems I confused this game with the “official” Blade Runner game in my mind. So disregard the following paragraph.

It also is an interesting game in regard to Kojima himself. While it is cinematic, especially for its time, since it was one of the first visual novel games, the non linearity regarding who is an android and who isn’t is in contrast from the story/gameplay linearity of his Metal Gear series. You can play Snatcher multiple times and each time it will be different.

I still have to play this game, I didn’t manage to make the emulation work in my last attempt. So thanks for the reminder.
