    Yup, Phasmophobia for instance is good. A bigger company could make more elaborate ghost stories, but would more likely go for micro transactions in cosmetics/items.

    I'm highly recommending Oxenfree for the conversation system. Characters talk to you and each other in real-time and you have to choose an answer or silence in time. It's might be more on the atmospheric side than story, but I recommend it anyway.

    Such a pity there are such hostile people there, would probably be a lot more tourism otherwise. Two young Scandinavian women were going hiking in the Atlas mountains and got raped and decapitated by some islamists. I'm not going near those places.

    REJECTION OF PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY AS A SHAM AND A FRAUD
    After socialism, Fascism trains its guns on the whole block of democratic ideologies, and rejects both their premises and their practical applications and implements. Fascism denies that numbers, as such, can be the determining factor in human society; it denies the right of numbers to govern by means of periodical consultations; it asserts the irremediable and fertile and beneficent inequality of men who cannot be leveled by any such mechanical and extrinsic device as universal suffrage. Democratic regimes may be described as those under which the people are, from time to time, deluded into the belief that they exercise sovereignty, while all the time real sovereignty resides in and is exercised by other and sometimes irresponsible and secret forces. Democracy is a kingless regime infested by many kings who are sometimes more exclusive, tyrannical, and destructive than one, even if he be a tyrant.

    From Benito Mussolini on Fascist doctrine

    In a system where all the non-winning votes are lost in a step and not counted at the end, like the USA form of weak democracy, this becomes a valid tactic.

    It's not only the presidential vote that's like this, but ALL fucking votes. It's astonishing how weak the US system is.

    Gender information and perceived quality: An experiment with professional soccer performance https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14413523.2023.2233341

    >Whether one looks at revenue, investment or coverage, men’s sports do better than women’s. Many assume that absolute differences in quality of athletic performance are the driving force. However, the existence of stereotypes should alert us to another possibility: gender information might influence perceived quality. We perform an experiment in which 613 participants viewed clips of elite female and male soccer players. In the control group, participants evaluated unmodified videos where the gender of the players is clear to see. In the treatment group, participants evaluated the same videos but with gender obscured by blurring. ***Using a regression analysis, we find that participants rate men’s videos higher – but only when they know they are watching men. When blurring obscures the gender, ratings for female and male athletes do not differ.*** We discuss implications for research and the sports industry. *Full abstract

    [Critique] Skyrim is a great open world game, but what could be done differently?

    I have some points to make myself: # Immersion * The map, which is a satellite/god view, rips you out of character. Paper maps keep more mystery. * The quest icons that it relies on should be changed for better quest directions. * Seeing enemies' exact health (and name) is also not great for immersion. More visual/audible damaged states is better. # RP * Very few choices are made in the quests, instead one has to be in character by choosing what quests one embark on. It would be great to have some conversational options with consequences. Relations are important in RP. * Few people acknowledge you, to the degree you don't actually feel that you are saving anyone unlike in Oblivion. IDK if it's the voice actors or characters or that I haven't got to actively save anyone, except DLC Serana. There's that guy in the web that dies. In Oblivion there are monks fleeing towards you for help and more noticeably the knight in the Oblivion gate. I miss such moments.

    So we're getting some of that denial of reality onto Lemmy

    People denying realities like anthropogenic climate change. I can respect opinions, like applying full human value to an undeveloped fetus, but the straight up denial of what is verified truth I can't even tolerate. It's false. It's lies. It's brainwashed tribalism. And they are gonna dig their tribal community hole and stew in reactionary rage and fear with their incoherent arguments whilst following their strong leaders, because gods forbid they are wrong on ***anything***. No, truth itself is gonna bend around the word of dear leader. The hateful cult newspeak is also rubbing me, but the denial of reality is the killer. And the mindnumbing memes that try to outwit with one-two sentences on comprehensive subjects. Political memes are a blight upon humanity and should be banned. Thanks for reading my sour micro(?)thought!
