Now here’s a game were calling the remake “reforged” actually works really well

I ran an instance for a while out of curiosity a few years back - building the database seemed to work fine and appeared like a good idea, had a lot of fun to see the connections with other servers and my crawler filling holes of unknown spaces. But I think the search algorithm itself was (most likely is) not sophisticated enough, it just did not give relevant results often enough, and it was extremely vulnerable to very simple SEO tactics to push trash to the top.

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.)

Marx and Engels were very clear, that the transition from value-exchange, i.e. money, has to happen as soon as possible, because otherwise, the system will begin to reproduce capitalist dynamics. So, as shopping malls, yes, very much opposed. As distribution/leisure centers? Sure, whatever the dynamics of the new materialist situation will favour/need.

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

Disco Elysium

The sheer joy of realising it’s not “just another” RPG, slowly pulling the curtain on how intricate the worldbuilding is, discovering the main character and in turn reflecting on yourself. It’s become a small addiction to watch first time streamers and let’s players for me, to vicariously relive that process.

Another candidate might be Ultima 7, the interactivity and how “real” it felt in the 90s was mindblowing for kid me.

There is definitely some ominous undertones to a screen out of context reading “All the Rescue Rangers end”

Jetzt nur noch abwarten bis kommerzielle/werbegestützte Social-Media-Anbieter gegen öffentlich-rechtliche wegen Wettbewerbsverzerrung im Bereich der Sozialen Medien klagen.

Nice, more official instances/accounts are the best potential catalyst for mainstream adoption.
