If it made more sense, it would suggest that the creator had enough sense to not be a pro-life fundamentalist

This is exactly the result. No matter how advanced AI gets, unless the singularity is realized, we will be no closer to some kind of 8-hour workweek utopia. These AI Silicon Valley fanatics are the same ones saying that basic social welfare programs are naive and un-implementable - so why would they suddenly change their entire perspective on life?

I did see there would likely be post-launch updates, but I don’t think I have the restraint to wait lol

Anyone else been waiting on this? Rain World has always been a bit of a niche game, but I think it has had a steady creep of popularity, especially with the previous (amazing) DLC release.

Some kind of corpo takeover where every creative and writer who actually created Disco Elysium were forced out, including the lead who came up with the entire universe. It’s not like they can just produce equally good work separately, either; apparently Kurvitz (the writer) needs the right team to focus his creative output.

I really liked book 4, it felt closer to a return to the original Annihilation (though I also loved the more controversial 2 and 3).

Oh yeah? Maybe I’m remembering it too fondly lol

System Shock 2 is totally playable still, especially with the HD texture mod - I recommend it to anyone interested. Played it for the first time ever last year.

The main difference between mods and the remaster seems to be that the enemies look strangely “smoother” lol

Yes, just seems odd that release is a month away and there’s no Steam page set up yet.

Do they actually mention where it can be found? I don’t see anything on steam, but they specify steam in the article.
