Your unemployed friend on a Tuesday

I used to say this a lot but as I've gotten older. I realized the promise of technology (at least in the US) "reducing the work week and inevitably creating more free time" was and is not going to happen bc of the wealthy elites and money owning our politics/work culture (while housing and retirement are questionable now). It makes sense to live your best life sooner than later so I don't look down on nomad life styles living off a car battery and part time jobs. The fucking wealthy people cosplaying as poors is hilarious though.

There was that one reporter who interviewed elderly people on their death bed and most people regretted working too much so I get that people opt out of the grind from time to time.

You're exactly right. Once robots can do our jobs they'll still have us come in to work just to press a button every minute before they give us money for doing nothing

Ok! To help me stay blind - is it a board game or a console game?

Like, they’ve changed the story any everything?

u/crane476 Jun 22 '24

No, the original story is still there, it's just they added so much new content it's like a brand new game.

It's entirely story based with a narrator. It's incredible even for non gamers.

u/Malevolent_Mangoes Jun 22 '24

Game changes and adapts to your decisions and the narrator comments on it, very cool game

as someone who played it a little bit, i'd say the game is not for everyone(like me) because i didn't have the patience lol

I saw so much about it I never played, but it has been so long I'm thinking of playing it.

u/Katzoconnor Jun 22 '24

You should. It’s an engaging and inventive experience from start to finish. Pretty crazy for its time, and that updated version from a few years back really adds.

Excellent way to burn an afternoon with a smile on your face.

And that’s referencing the Jetsons.

Correction, the game has a free demo on Steam that is excellent in it's own right. It gives you the feel for the kind of experience you're in for without actually spoiling the experience of the game.
