idc if this only gets one repost, i will repost it and i will be proud of it

I actually really liked it! I thought the time mechanic was cool, where you you can inspect or talk about anything with anyone, but you just don't have time, so the game avoids the trap of players boringly clicking through every possible dialog option

I vote yes, have fun being at the epicentre when the AGI race really heats up

this aesthetic is so cool, the bright white sunlight on the gently futuristic architecture

The Irish word "tinteán" (TIN-tawn but with softer Ts) means a fireplace or hearth, with connotations of home. The equivalent to "There's no place like home" in Irish is "Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin" (There's no hearth like your own hearth)

Honestly yeah I don't expect much new silicon to escape Google's clutches for a couple years

Earlier decades felt a lot more progressive and optimistic largely because the misery wasn't televised and therefore totally invisible to literally everyone.

And in both cases, the superficially scary beliefs actually serve a comforting purpose. Fairies can be propitiated and conspiracies can be evaded. Far better to believe in that than live in fear of coincidence and misfortune and a complex world you do not, can not understand.
