In MI1, the only annoying part was that "wood forest path" thingy in the beginning (when being in the village), and later on the world wasnt pretty anymore when being on Le Chucks Island

I would also add Kings Quest V (and only V!),also Ultima 7, and some others in that ballpark :-)

After first playing Ultima 7 in middle school in the 1990s, I finally finished the whole game a few months back, and was astounded by how good it is. I would love to see a modern take on it with expanded crafting mechanics. the way crafting works is amazingly fun and immersive, there is just a very limited amount of it. the same for the way NPCs actually live out their lives and work. better than most (all?) modern games.

Id say the genre got out of traction, so there is no real "U7 feeling" anymore

Yeah, the difference between "reported and delivered" in the range of 350-298=62miles is actually that one special thing, that makes Porsches worth the price :-D

Absolutely not:

Do you really think young people around 14-16 understand the impact of doomscrolling & 15 sec videos on their brain capacities?

To put just one example.


I've seen the same thing in my family and relatives across all age groups, I doubt they understand it either.

The problem with that though, they don't really get to see what great feats a healthy adult brain is allegedly capable of, for example from their parents, nor their teachers if we're being honest for a millisecond. So why bother? Offline adult brains have failed at preventing any of this - nor are they more successful. It's really not brain health that predicts success in 2026.

> Do you really think young people around 14-16 understand the impact of doomscrolling & 15 sec videos on their brain capacities?

Yes, they do. Social media is, ironically, full of young Gen-Z rediscovering the joys of the analog world, saying they want to get off social media, looking into dumb phones. You don't see many "grown adults" talking about it. They're too far gone.


OK, transferring this would also mean then that teens aware about the bad things with smoking/alkohol/etc.?

Regarding my two 12-year-old-twins, I have a different perspective and I clearly see that they need guidance, same with their folks in school.


Does your age bracket, in general?

Parents around me are somehow quite aware of the problems, some more deeper in, some less:

Esp. the ones from the education group are, agains my expectation, very well educated and up-to-date regarding problems of all this stuff. So, yes. For sure, Im in a bubble and I do not know about people & their society outside of my bubble.


Well, its a media-rich & heavy site, clearly not develped for mobile usage :-)

Cytisine is the organical base for the synthethic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varenicline

May I ask: The side effects listed under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varenicline#Side_effects

-> how hard did any of these hit you in your time?

Because in US, most prisons are run by private companies. Lot of them are listed on the stock market.

How can it be that little? Showing any one player would get you more than 1 advert on screen the whole time.

tangent: when you read "6,7", what do you say for ","?

I use 6.7 and say "point." My first read of "6,7" was "six, seven" followed by an internal audio of kids losing their shit.


Good one!

I read it as "6-point-7" in English, I just used our local version-of-writing with the comma :)
