maybe this isn't the place for this

But I just read the latest entry on Paul Krugman's blog and he is right, the GOP have looked at Trump and said "Holy poo poo, we can gently caress over our own base as hard as we like, we're invincible"

and thus the new health care bill that will kill people so the 0.01% can get another tax break

like they've dropped the pretense totally, they might as well send supporters letters saying "yes, your uncle died, I don't care, gently caress you got mine"

my question (and it is also Krugman's) is what kinda dick-smack maneuver would actually clue in republicans that they have been betrayed

what's a nice game in a science-fiction setting that isn't mostly about shooting poo poo in the face and is enjoyable/interesting to play? like minimal action, but big on ideas and story? i enjoyed the longest journey series and the anno series

it's hard to say because you haven't specified what gameplay you like, and also most games are about killing poo poo anyway, but maybe

transistor
any of the shadowrun games on steam
and the of course the bioshock games

but honestly narrative-heavy games (with a non-poo poo story) are kind of rare by themselves, and 'that but also sci-fi' is like a vanishingly small slice

Oh lord that game is a mess

It is the Star Trek Voyager of games

It starts with great potential, but takes a gleeful joy in squandering it, and then you realize you'd just quit if there was not a hot girl around

The first two Bioshocks are good for ideas. The former is a great gently caress you to objectivism, the second I think tells a great story

The first I always think of when standing in line at the grocery store. I look at the magazines at the checkouts, and I think how many people would make themselves crazy if a unregulated technology developed to actually let you achieve all the unreachable things those magazines promise

Planescape Torment is kind of the gold standard for what you are looking for, though the first Deus Ex is also neat if you can tolerate the graphics from another time

Yes I'm old

The storytelling in Dishonored is also legit great, if not especially deep, if you like the idea of playing the Thief games but with superpowers

the witness is a good one too. its a really good environment based puzzle game that takes place in a weird idyllic myst island kinda place. i think youre also supposed to meditate about the act of creation or something when you play it idk the guy who made it is kind of a blowhard

i'd also recommend fract osc which takes place in a giant abstracted synthesizer labyrinth

another one that's jumping to mind rn is Else Heart.Break() which is a video game where you end up hacking the scripts that run the video game and it's basically uh.............. hacker Chulip i guess???????

in terms of adventure games someone earlier recommended primordia but i'd also reccommend technobabylon and gemini rue which are both cyberpunk af (and put out by the same company, probably really cheap on steam rn)

there are lots of games not about shooting ppl in the face tbh its just then people will start to get weird on you about what is or isnt a videogame and thats a convo best left unhad
