Thanks for letting me know, can't wait to play it!

I didn't realise it had already been released. Definitely getting the game ASAP. The couch coop of the last game was great, hopefully it'll be the same/similar for this one

In terms of crime maybe try the original 'the killing' and the remake. The bridge is also good - all part of scandi noir crime wave that took over the UK for a while. There is some obvious deption of death and murder.

I've recently just watched the silo and that was brilliant Sci fi - very distopian and authoritarian though!

I'm with you, I've started referring to it with this name. It's apt, we're in a current crisis not a situation that we will only see effects from generations from now. I talk to a lot of people who seem to think this is a next generation problem, even the current young generation.

Era of global boiling sounds very reassuring. When are our policy makers going to actually start acting?

[–] Ni@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I've never understood this argument. A lot of the things we need to change will actually make life better for so many, including animals. So surely it would be a good thing even if the science didn't obviously point out the link.

I read some quote the other day saying 'we're past the point of needing a thermometer, we need a fire extinguisher'. We all need to stop debating the finer points and just get on with some actual action.

Yes it will, which is even more worrying but we have to do something. I think it's going to have to be a joint carbon reduction and capture effort

I think you can have cultures, cities and places built to encourage non car use. We have a lot more of it here in the UK, especially with public transport. It doesn't seem quite so simple with the sheer distances in a lot of America.

We do need to build lives that are compatible with a healthy environment and life.

Pretty much panicking, funnily enough I'd resigned myself (still tried to life a green life) until having kids, but you've got to try and do everything you can otherwise what future are we giving them?

[–] Ni@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

It's true, I don't think you'd find consensus or cooperation with the idea, but we do seem to be at an impasse that we shouldn't (but probably will) just ignore.

[–] Ni@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely couldn't agree more, we need people to make change and ideally we need people contacting their legislators and local councils. I've joined a council run local climate working group which has been useful so far.

Basically engage as much as you can.

It does seem like we need a complete shutdown to deal with this. This current situation seems like an immediate emergency and not something we will deal with later down the track.

I think all we can try and do is what we can in out sphere of control and influence. Advice and tips are welcome!
