Shitting your own bed, and then rolling in it with delight instead of cleaning up posthaste.

Dreamfall Chapters was the first game where I stopped and thought for 15 minutes about a choice I needed to make, and its implications.
Life is Strange, LiS: Before The Storm, and LiS: True Colors, hve a special place in my heart for their deeply engrossing and moving stories, and for really getting me to care about the characters and their fates.
The first Witcher game was one that drew me in so much that I immediately started a second playthrough upon finishing the first. I have never done that with any other game.
Hardspace: Shipbreakers stuck with me for being such an excellent melange of complex puzzle, industrial accident simulator, and poignant satire on the state of labour in late stage capitalism.
Depending on your SLA, 3 minutes can be a pretty big chunk of your monthly error budget.
The problem is that flat-earthers aren't just that. They usually believe in all kinds of other kooky stuff as well, and some of those beliefs pose an active danger to society.
It didn't just take "Hitler's death" for Germans to be able to vote again. It wasn't a case of "oh look, he's dead, now we can go back to democracy". It took over a decade of political terror and violence, a devastating world war, and one of the most organised campaigns of mass murder and genocide in history.
Brave is the one run by transphobes who also love crypto.
How would you drive the adoption of such a protocol in an environment that is largely hostile towards attempts at demonetising things?
'Calling out lies' isn't fact-checking - at best it would have turned into a 'your word against mine, who will people believe' mudslinging contest. Fact-checking puts the onus on the person telling the lie to correct it - 'this is false and here is a source that says so'.
Re the first part: nobody enters my house if they don't have a key and I'm not present. Re the second part, I don't trust any software-based technology near enough to rely on that kind of stuff without double-checking. . Turn the key, done.
So be authentic to the universe. Be authentic to the lore. Nobody knows what 'authentically American' will look like in fifty plus years. And it's still a fictitious city. There is no need for details to conform with any particular city of today, American or not.
I don't need a game that's set in a fictional future and world to be 'authentically American'.
The culture wars serve as a distraction from the class warfare conducted by the wealthy. It's like the joke about the billionaire, the worker and the immigrant going to a bbq. Come to think of it, that joke is actually an almost perfect embodiment of the above hypothesis.
