Encased is a CRPG, heavily inspired by the classic Fallout games, bringing it's mechanics into the modern age. It's story is based on the classic book "Roadside Picknick" (known for being the inspiration of the Stalker series) and is very well written. It has a story narrator, similar to the Divinity: Original Sin games and a very in depth character creation. At the start you choose a department of a research company to work in, which will change the way you interact with many characters, adding some replay value. Anything more I could say would be a spoiler, but the entire beginning (first half to one hour) is an absolute banger.

It's my favorite indie game of the last few years and at the time of writing this, it is currently 90% of on steam, an absolute bargain

Gotta call this one inaccurate. The Bible tells YOU not to have false gods, it doesn't say you should hate other religions. I'd argue that the parable of the good samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 actually argues the exact opposite: "Love your neighbor as yourself" no matter who that person is

Also "some shit": Colossians 3:8 "But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth."

Noch nicht Mal fälschen, abstimmen! Die CDU hat eine Umfrage gemacht, die Leute haben abgestimmt. Das Meinung der Bevölkerung geht aber irgendwie gegen die Interessen der Sponsoren, also lieber Mal die Meinungsäußerungen als kriminell darstellen

"Mimimi, Leute haben abgestimmt und das Ergebnis ist nicht mehr das was ich will wenn alle abstimmen. Das ist voll kriminell das die Umfrage mehr Leute wiederspiegelt. Wir sollten nur die befragen, die uns eh zustimmen"

• antidemokratische Populisten

Eine Schande das solche Antidemokraten im Bundestag sitzen. Meinungsäußerungen im Netz durch offene Umfragen als "kriminell" darzustellen grenzt schon daran verfassungswidrig zu sein. Und natürlich kommen solche Aussagen von der CDU

Then the number of people decreases

Now people complain about that to

Can we please just stop caring about the numbers and instead focus on making a nice place for ourselves?

Honest question I have been wondering:

Why SC out of all the space sim/sandbox games? Is there anything that this game has that no other game provides? Something about the community, a combination of features, gameplay loop or something else?

There are hundreds of games in that genre but many people obviously like SC so much that they are willing to spend larger amounts of money on it. I really wonder what it is exactly or if it's just the general feel that game has. It's not an easy question to answer from an outside perspective, its hard finding anything about SC at all except about its monitisation.

And again: I'm genuinely curious and not judging. People can like whatever game they want and spend as much money as they are willing to part with. I have often searched for an answer to this, but most articles/videos either say "expensive crap" if they don't like it or don't go beyond "it's a space sim" if they do.

The Headline isn't everything that's going on.

This is not the first time something like this happened, some months back someone upload a mod that removed all rainbow flags from the spiderman game. Im guessing its the exact same thing like the last time: Someone made a new account to upload a mod that was only made to spark controversy. The mod itself didn't matter, the author is just a troll that wanted a reaction from this. They knew they would get banned so they made a new account. Nexus has the same stance on this as last time: they don't platform trolls so they removed it. It's not about the mod, it's about the authors intentions, which are to harm the platform

If starfield works like every other Bethesda game, the game can't actually change the gender directly, it instead remakes your entire character, which will reset whatever is causing the bug

I have to tell you about Bobby Broccoli. He makes high quality videos about fraud/scandals in science. All his videos are well researched and have a unique style you won't find anywhere else on the internet. One of his recent documentaries (about fraud in stem cell/cloning research) was so good, Netflix straigt up copied it
