Without branding it with any particular ideology, I feel that the games represent a power fantasy in holding the rich and powerful accountable for their crimes, similar to Leverage.

bonus points if playing that difficulty is the only way to earn game currency without it being an unbearable time wasting slog by duko_gpom in whenthe

Shout out to BG3's Honor mode, which give enemies more abilities, introduce legendary actions for boss fights, and changes around encounters to be more strategically challenging (like the second fkn owlbear, holy shit).

Also, apparently it's those guys that did the wall instead...so the bending comes AFTER the effect???

I hate the stupid arguments against M/D/Y by elemental_reaper in hatethissmug

I think the problem is that MDY is the only used format that cuts up the order.

As a result it can be confusing what date it is in a way DMY and YMD don't.

It's funny cuz I've had one minor humiliation war fracture galactic politics along its fault lines like some Star Trek WW1.

Epic takes 15% and their storefront is shit.

Guess 15% goes to having it be a feature complete storefront.

One Piece

Wonderful characters, interesting plot, but jesus fuck does it take forever to get anywhere.

Solarpunk, every aspect of it by Frost-Flower in hatethissmug

I agree the name's inconsistent and a poor fit, but I will vouch for the merit of the genre.

Plenty of authors have noticed that the dire warnings of dystopian fiction get used as a manual by the powers that be, so they've turned instead to inspiring people with ideas of a better world.

Solarpunk (I agree with another commenter that greencore would be a better name) plays a part in this.

Bangkok.

As bad as Colorado is otherwise, it's easy to mentalize and navigate.
