I really like the setting and art. The skill tree is silly (in a great way) and decently balanced. The greatest flaw is the game forcing you to wait for animations when moving around making the game way too slow for when you’re familiar (and bored) with the early floors. I would love to see more games like it but it does need more polish imo.

This reminds me of the advanced spring powered devices in Syberia (the adventure game). I wonder if it is even remotely feasible to store that much power in springs, probably not.

I don’t think the drop in the bucket argument is a strong one. That would invalidate a lot of prosocial behavior, such as voting in many elections.

I never had a problem (from my pov) of coming out on top in a discussion. But changing people’s hearts and minds is obviously harder. Did you ever feel like your words swayed someone to the good side?

“outside of it being germane to the conversation.” I would include that situation in the topic. That’s the only way I ever discuss it myself. You and at least one other commenter seems to have interpreted my description of myself as someone who brings up vegetarianism out of the blue to proselytize. Sorry that I wasn’t clearer, I never bring it up first. Or at least only extremely rarely. However if there are vegetarians who are more aggressive in that aspect I would love to hear their stories too.

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that about therapy groups.

I do think the impact matters enough that it’s a good thing if someone is inspired to become vegetarian because of me. I’m very low-key about this advocacy. I generally just want to show it’s possible. I think that should be enough to convince someone.

When I first cut down on meat and then stopped eating it entirely it was for environmental reasons. I was also thinking that me going vegetarian could inspire friends to become vegetarian. I find it funny how often the “why vegetarianism” topic comes up, and I’m happy to talk about it, I’m quite read up on the environmental impact of diets and let people know how that motivated me, then typically I just address questions they have or discuss with them if they claim I’m wrong. But it doesn’t seem to convince anyone to actually cut down on meat. One theory I have is that I, as a 40 year old, probably mostly talk to people over 30 that are already quite set in their way of life. Did you ever have any success in converting anyone to vegetarianism?

I want to know what the Spanish and French speaking internet users do instead. I’m Swedish and we definitely have a big presence on Reddit (and probably fediverse) relative to our population. So looks like another North vs South difference.
