the suicide mission in ME2 is one of the high water marks for narrative consequences and companion attachment in RPGs. also the story is quite flimsy compared to ME1 and especially the end of ME1.

You sit, according to the polls, on the cusp of a historic political victory. You would be the youngest mayor in a century. You’d be New York City’s first Muslim mayor. You’d be its first democratic socialist mayor.

I wouldn’t actually be the first democratic socialist mayor.

Who would it be?

David Dinkins was a member of D.S.A., he identified also as a democratic socialist.

Thank you for the correction.

Very welcome.

Graysky app is pretty good, but I think it still uses the Bluesky PDS? Not sure how it works under the hood. graysky.app

When you look at the art style and world building, Machinarium really feels like a predecessor to Hollow Knight / Silksong.

The nice thing about python or lua is that because iteration is faster it's so much more chill to spend time messing around

And I'd worry that getting caught with C++ compilation errors and long build times could be a barrier as much as conceptual complexity
