I thought everyone just agreed that showing African Culture in any capacity is racist because it means we will actually have to see African culture? AKA the "So politically correct we are anything but" affect O_o

wat

I am being pessimistic about a few things... I'd unpack it but I don't think it would be pleasant conversation... However: Resident Evil 5 and Baldur's Gate 2.

Being in the middle of a majini zombie outbreak is a great opportunity for an in-depth examination of African culture, I'm sure.

A zombie outbreak is the breakdown of human civilization, what better way to understand culture than to watch it be destroyed?

I've just fixed a major slowdown in the code.

I've spent a better part of last two days feeling generally shitty because I haven't been able to see the way to solve it, but apparently I've underestimated the power of checking only once in a while, instead of every 0.2 seconds.

Silly me.

It has more to do with another bit of controversy. Not the same thing but rather related.

----

On a side note I am reading the description of the "Reward" structures in the game Afterlife (Reward Structures are basically rewards for people in the afterlife).

And they are all, well except contentment, ironic rewards for the 6 virtues (Contentment, Charity, Chastity, Humility, Peacefulness, Temperence and Diligence)
-Charity: These always involve either earning some endless rewards or wealth, or having an incredibly easy consumer experience (One is a parking lot where you can always find a space)
-Humility: Always involve being fawned over and praised for being so humble. Leading to one building being literally playing god!
-Chastity: Hooking up, one even includes a building that outright states that once your bored of one partner, it sets you up with another.
-Peaceful: Put into eternal strife (basically never allowed peace) one of which is a building that serves no purpose but to create stupid laws for peaceful souls to protest.

Contentment is the odd one out, but usually it involves them being given some sort of magically blessed gift that they share with others involving music and dance.

Diligence is... weird. Not ironic but then again you can't really make it ironic (As both "freedom from diligence" and "Rewarded with more diligence" is fitting). One reward building turns you into a cat that you can decide how you life your life as but it basically repays Diligence (Or loyalty) with either pampering or freedom.

I LOVE YOU
It's amusing how well the song matches the animation ain't it?

If the game didn't come out in the 90's id say it was some sort of social commentary.

Ooh, Afterlife.  There's a classic game I always wanted to try, but never got around to.  Have you been playing it?  Any good?

And yeah, it's probably because a lot of people seem to see morality as "resist temptation in this world, be glutted in the next".  Though maybe that's just a trick.  My experience is that exercising a virtue makes it easier to follow that virtue, and at some point the "reward" wouldn't be appealing at all...

The "peaceful" reward seems particularly silly though :P

Afterlife is a good game but probably ranks pretty high in the "If you can forgive a LOT" category. I could never see it being made today without being drastically altered.

So it is a game you have to fight to like.
