You should definitely play both Crusader Kings and Dwarf Fortress - the feeling that you get when you read it: “Hah, it feels like in real life but damn it’s crazy” Is true for gameplay of both games in general. When things are simulated with enough details, stories appear!

Oh, yes, absolutely, I was just writing from memory

Disco Elysium
Don’t Starve
Dirt
Dishonored
Deus ex
Darkest Dungeon
Deadbolt
Dungeon of endless
Dwarf Fortress
Dying Light

A well-rounded list with some great time-sinkers in it!

You’re probably right, but there are other reasons. I don’t have any statistics to support my point, but looking at a (comparatively) low level of food waste in Russia, I could come up with some ideas why (based on 37 years living there):

• It’s generally frowned upon if you throw away a lot of food. Probably because most of the population didn’t have much on their table. And especially in Saint-Petersburg (Leningrad) which was blockaded, and where starvation was a real thing. My grandmother survived that, and she would always remind me of the struggle when I left something on my plate.
• Most of the population lives in cities, and even if a poor family is living in some shitty town far away from everything, the conditions can be bad, but not “dirt floor” bad, and everyone has a fridge.
• I never had to do that, and it was more of a Soviet Union thing, but in a winter, people used to hang out a bag of meat or something like that outside their kitchen window, because freezers were tiny, and that was the way to keep stuff from spoiling if you were lucky buying something cheap in bulk. I didn’t see that for many years, but I’m from a big city and maybe it didn’t get that much nicer elsewhere.

I was thinking that I could as well live in Germany, until this moment. Seriously.

About the craziness - yes absolutely. In most other places, you use a thing until nobody would use it, or sell it online. And here, people are just: “nah…”
Well, better for us. I also have a shitton of good stuff, including half of my clothes (I’m lucky to have size M, so a lot of stuff fits). Second hand stores look weird now: “Whoa, you need to pay for that?”

I do that all the time. A thing is a thing, and it can be your thing now. I only try to ask myself two things:

1. Do I really need that?
2. Is it in a good condition? I have a lot of used stuff at home, so if I took something half-broken, it would look like a dumpster already.

Sidenote: I live in Denmark, where people overconsume, and then get rid of stuff which is still in good condition.

You should have mentioned Oreo, so the bot would write: “Oh, we love it!..”

“Fools bridge” from Saint-Petersburg saying hi!
It’s just below the height of the most popular small truck, Gazelle - despite the poster saying: “It’s low, Gazelle doesn’t fit” (in addition to a normal sign), drivers keep checking that.

Is this about circumcision reversal?

Apart from the encryption, how exactly does it suck?

Look what I’m whippin now!

It’s called The Human Prostate Republic! Read a book or something!

I THOUGHT THIS IS AMERICA!

Sorry, my bad

No, they were robbing and killing everyone who even slightly reminded “the bourgeoisie”, “to build an equal society of workers”. They also sold whatever they could abroad (they sold a fucking Alaska!), and villagers who stopped being serfs less than a century before, became modern slaves who couldn’t leave their kolhoz (farming cooperative).
Edit: the big sale also involved grain, which led to starvation

You’re not saving anyone, and victims of bolshevism are not victims of this comic. Please stop making problems up.

You won’t be able to save people who are unable to draw parallels between a hypothetical and a real situation, even when they are given a dozen hints.
