That actually looks fairly badass in a way that you can’t often find anymore, plus quality-of-life sanity in automapping – being expected to keep a sheet of graph paper at hand to know where you’re going is a hard pass from me. Sorry, Might and Magic 1. How much is it? It looks like the graphics and music hasn’t been updated in over 25 years.

Re: “over 600+ [sic] hours” – you know, it’s like Elon Musk finding it imperative to extend humanity to Mars in case the Earth goes out. Of course, once the sun goes red dwarf or whatever and eats up both Earth and Mars, we’d have better gone interstellar.

It’s like Brian Johnson. Not the AC/DC guy, but the biohacker who spent millions a year and probably put up with an awful diet and quality of life to never die, only to be diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune condition. Predictably, he blames it on his past diet of ultra-processed foods.

So with the 600+ hours – for some of us that’s a turnoff. Like Jesus, is it the Überspiel to be the only thing you play for a whole year or two? They’re always trying to lower smoking rates by jacking up the taxes; has it ever occurred to the government that many of us are too poor to get old so we really don’t care if we make it much past 70, when smoking diseases typically kick in, and enjoy smoking very much? The line is that it saves end-of-life health care costs, but it costs a never-smoking 90-year-old money to die, as well as to live those 20 extra years, in wealth or in miserable poverty waiting around to die. All is vanity.
