Basically this, but usually the best ideas come to me during smoke breaks instead. (Still trying to kick that addiction, don’t smoke, kids, I’ve managed to get rid of alcohol and other drugs I experimented with in the past, nicotine just won’t fucking stop with the fucking urges, even when you manage to “quit” for months at a time.)

Ha, funnily enough, that is genuinely not all that far away from where I live, definitely reachable by train in 45-120 min, depending on circumstances, and I do have a Deutschlandticket, so don’t promise what you can’t keep

So, I don’t want to worry you too much, but I might be in love with your girlfriend.

We’re working on a polycule right now, maybe you can be part of it.

Ah, sad, thank you for researching! Here’s hoping it will come back in some form.

For its time, it was a real classic, and it still has a lot of good elements (English localization is lackluster though, from what I heard.) Back when it was new, I remember all my friends playing it here in Germany.

If you enjoy an open world RPG with a very immersive, believable world, that has basically every character with schedules, motivations and personality, this still delivers more than even most modern games. Controls are… from a time when control schemes weren’t yet standardized and fully figured out. And combat, while appearing like an action-RPG, is actually above all stats-based, armor and weapons being the most important things to unlock content.

But overall, I’d recommend Gothic 2 more, it’s basically “the same but better and more”. It’s definitely worth a look to anyone interested in retro RPGs .

Hey, just be glad I changed it from asdf_test_3, okay?

Yes, copyright is necessitated by artists only being able to survive and prosper when their art is commodified, and the dynamics of capitalism ultimately push it into more and more making culture a tradeable commodity, ultimately alienating the artists from their works. Copyright will stay around and expand it’s reach, as well as mutate to benefit capital (and with that, capitalists), as long as the dynamics within the system are what they are.
