I have finally started a new job after a month of listlessness, but all my spare time has been sunk into Shadow of the Erdtree. So far, I'm having a good time. Lots of exploring, and have bumped off 2 remembrance bosses.

Terra Invicta its pretty fun and decently materialistic (still some brainworms though)

How is the game these days ? I never took a closer look but it seemed interesting.

Its fun. a lot of the UI is still pretty shit, and as a new player (like I was 3 weeks ago) it felt like i lost a few times because I just dont know where to look. I've kept myself free of a lot of guides until I've already lost to that thing. But yeah the UI just doesnt give you a lot even though its displaying a lot of information in every screen, does make you feel like mastermind in that way, but you have to click through so much and it doesnt really give you a lot of tooltips for keyboard shortcuts.

Its 3/5 for me but if you arn't annoyed by something then you arn't really in love with it.

oh and yeah it just uses a lot of brainworms to kind of draw the systems into view but really after that it does do a good deal of simulating what country like that would look like IE that china starts with a less democratic government than most countries and pollutes a lot and is more unequal than the US but does fairly represent what these governments seem to tend to do in other areas like china is capable of anything given its industrial base. Kind of makes me feel like even if they programmed the brainworms in, the other materialistic programming is too strong of an actual force to represent that it just fades away given little relevance and then displays that reality. Pretty fun
