The obvious answer would be Black & White and its sequel, which for many is the definitive god game. You’re an untouchable god interacting with your world and physically manipulating it with your hand, but you also have a giant animal familiar that you raise to also interact with the people. You create miracles and either help or terrorize the population into following you. Not much combat if that’s what you’re looking for, but it’s a unique game that unfortunately has not seen a worthy successor in 20+ years.

Unless a game somehow really sucks me in these days, I tend not to engage much with the stories anymore. It’s not at the point where I’m skipping cutscenes regularly, yet. I tend to play games in slow, broken up sessions, so there’s a very good chance that I won’t remember what happened in the story the next time I hop back in. At that point, I just hope I can remember how to play the game.

Please, someone tell me how the fuck these protests get organized? I’ve been scouring IG for upcoming demonstrations in LA and nobody’s registering their actions on Shut It Down For Palestine. For months I’ve tried to get involved and it feels impossible for any full time worker to help take action for Palestine. Best case scenario is I find out about an event a few hours beforehand when I’m already in the office and it’s too late for me to be there.

Trained almost exclusively on pictures of young women? Pretty astounding results, though.

How about: No arms deals?
