People who don’t want to read The Martian in case the science is too complicated should be informed that it contains the lines “The best way to store the ingredients of water is to make them be water”, “It is of course dangerous to set off an explosive device on a spacecraft”, and “If I cut a hole in the wall of the hab, the air won’t stay inside any more”.

I love this fucking book

It’s not as simple as that. It’s not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of gray.”
  
“Nope.”
 
“Pardon?”
  
“There’s no grays, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”
  
“It’s a lot more complicated than that—”
  
“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

here’s an idea: notice toxic trends in your behavior and, idk, change them

the fact that people are complaining on this post that they can’t change their behaviors that hurt others because they have x mental illness and We Can’t All Be Neurotypical Karen is absolutely fucking wild. do you realize your arguments have come full circle to being indistinguishable from the most crude, generic “mentally ill people are inherently dangerous and/or abusive” ableist rhetoric? you always have the agency to address the ways in which you are hurting others (or yourself). maybe not instantly. maybe not effortlessly. but it IS within your abilities and it is something you owe to your community and yourself

review of reality

2/5

  • bad graphics: you need an item for the graphics to be decent at all and sometimes your field of vision becomes totally covered in static when you stand up
  • boring soundtrack: you can find good music but you have to find and play it yourself. by default there isnt any
  • lots of rules and for the most part they make it quite difficult to enjoy the game
  • in spite of all these rules, it is unclear what exactly you are supposed to do to progress
  • player character lacks interesting abilities 
  • many difficult tasks
  • no working cheat codes
  • having to keep your needs up to avoid dying takes an inordinate amount of time and effort
  • no extra lives
