  Anyone have a recommendation for a good let’s play of this? Anytime I’m thinking about watching a let’s play I never know who to pick.

  I’m a happy Linux user. The biggest problem with Linux for the average user is that you have to install it. Most people use Windows because it’s on their computer when they buy it. The average person isn’t going to distinguish between the hardware and the software. They see the computer and the OS as a package.

  Wow! Maybe this was naive, but I wasn’t expecting this to get so much controversy and downvotes. I’ll post a few thoughts here FWIW.

  1. I see a lot of comments in here that remind me a lot of this New Yorker cover. As with any other country, there’s lots of different types of people in China with lots of differing opinions, but some comments in here feel like they’re casting all of China as a monolith. I should probably know better than to expect nuance on the internet, but the amount of opinions in here that were expressed as if they were total undeniable truth was still kind of annoying.

  2. Following up on that, the main point of the article was requesting that people not conflate the CCP w/ companies and players. No one who was born in China chose to be born there. But they still have to live their lives, find creative expression, etc. I also hate the CCP, but I was surprised to see so an article that was trying to distinguish between the CCP and ordinary Chinese people receive so many comments that just brought up the CCP.
  3. All that said, while I definitely disagree with many comments in here, I personally didn’t feel like I saw comments in here that were racist, despite what some people suggested.
  4. For me, this article made me interested in finding out what cool games might be getting made in China that aren’t being released to the West. I also found it disappointing that the article explicitly called out that lots of the cool stuff isn’t making it to the West, and yet so many comments here talked about how China hasn’t made any good games, with no acknowledgement of whether the commenter has tried anything other than a small handful of the ones that actually got translations and came over here.

  Anyway, that’s it. Thanks for reading and hope you have a good day.

  I’ve been playing through Anchorhead, a text-based game from the late 90s that got a reboot in 2018. It’s fun and my first time really going through a text-based game.

  I’m also playing Disco Elysium! It’s fun but so far has yet to completely grab me as it seems to have done for you.
