Wow. I disagree (which is great, we all have different experiences). The opening, snowy section conveys perfectly the plight of the group. You feel the cold and disorientation. You hear the stories - two dead, two lost, one missing. You get the backdrop: decisions gone awry. Sure the faith and solidarity are still…

Real-time survival is an immediate pass for me. Pity, it sounds interesting.

I started the game and I was walking some context-less industrial corridors, hack-killing some guards... I understand it was supposed to be a tutorial, but it was so boring that I stopped playing after maybe an hour. Does it really get good?

RDR2 is the best game ever made. I am replaying it right now.

Thanks

I mean, I clicked on the article, so well done. Calling @WayDude here. I thought airliners blow a tyre now and then and that it's not a huge issue? Happy to be corrected, though.

Once you make one exception, it's time to worry about your own ass. Literally.

Right? “As long as we have time to make an emergency landing, this airframe is good to go”. Jesus.

We are saying the same thing. The procedure has cost in mind rather than safety. Otherwise they'd take the airframe out of circulation at the first warning.

We have arrived at the crux of the issue, I think. At the question “how much violence is the state allowed to use with our tolerance and for our protection”.

Except it has happened before. There are procedures to check airframes when a pressurization alert triggers. The problem is, you need to take the airframe out of service. And that means costs.

Dear (not) Alaska Airlines, “pressurization alert twice doesn’t trigger a response, only three times” doesn’t mean everything is fine. It means YOUR PROCEDURES ARE CRAP.

All rape is (also) psychological abuse. I don't see your point. There is no good rape.

It’s not “counterproductive”. It is an abomination. Again, I understand the sentiment, but we must decide to not be like them. Not to forgive, fuck forgiveness. Certainly not to forget or excuse. But we cannot become like the rapists.

Perhaps I misunderstood you. When we, as a society, agree to do horrible things to “bad” people, we leave the door open to wide interpretation of the word “bad”.

Look, we can talk about the death penalty. But there is no “rape penalty” - and there shouldn’t be. There shouldn’t be, because it then normalizes rape, a thing which is not normal and has no justification ever. I understand the hate and revulsion, I feel it myself. But this narrative of “haha, you’ll go to jail and…

What is the golden rule?

Rape is rape. There is no good rape and bad rape. It is all bad. Rape is not a tool of reformation or an instrument of revenge. We are not Tate.

DAYS later and the Nazi tears keep coming. I love it.

I made no assessment. It is a fact. We have enough games featuring white male saviors. There is room for other protagonists. I do enjoy all the grey Nazi tears, though.
