I think the genre you are looking for is "immersive sims". Notable historical examples are Thief, Deus Ex, and System Shock.

I've set my computer so that holding caps lock lets me type in Greek

I don't know wtf "real communism" is, all I know is that the communism I advocate for is not that of Lenin, Stalin, or Mao

That would be weird for Outer Wilds. It's not really a game about figuring out a complex sequence of events that let you get the correct solution to the time loop, the way so many time loop stories are. There are a couple locations that can only be accessed early or late, but those locations only contain information; once you've reached them you have no need to go back on subsequent looks.

And since the game is about exploration, it doesn't really feel repetitive (at least it didn't to me), because you're always looking for something new

Ultimately, these sorts of crimes are incredibly common for occupying armies. Culture impacts the way these crimes are handled -- are they punished, ignored, covered up, or tacitly (or even explicitly) encouraged? But the common element is soldiers, and the way that war leads to the dehumanization of the enemy, not that some cultures breed uniquely evil people.

Putting all the various "gaming" communities on kbin and Lemmy together on one page is a nice QOL feature but I'm not sure it's a good idea to present them to users as all the same thing. Gaming@kbin and gaming@lemmy and gaming@beehaw are different groups with different rules managed by different people and if users don't know that it's going to cause confusion in the long run

They also don't have sex in that play. It's a romance, not erotica

Honestly I think the choice to, in order to be more like Reddit, have subreddit equivalents tied to specific instances is in tension with federation. Trying to give each instance it's own host of micro communities instead of having each instance being a community that engages with other instances on cross-platform threads is going to give us headaches. Eventually someone is going to ask for individual magazines to federated.

That's not too say there aren't problems with that approach; in particular, moderation becomes more complicated. But just that we're trying to fit a square peg in a... squircular hole.

Ah established Reddit account with real comments and lots of karma is less likely to be identified as a bot or sockpuppet, which is useful for people who want to run those accounts
