A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

i would add onto this more open world activities

for example for GTA VI I've extracted from the recent gameplay preview these activities:

  • basketball
  • jetski
  • hovercraft / airboat
  • motorcycle races
  • car races
  • shooting gallery
  • robbing people, robbing every single store you can go into
  • parachuting
  • kayaking
  • working out to gain permanent stats
  • boxing / MMA
  • wrestling
  • underwater diving

really I actually want a functioning economy, complete with the possibility to work and scheme and murder your way up any company, own any real estate, operate any factory, etc. Even work as a janitor if you want to. i know that's really unrealistic, but a man can dream. (the closest to the economy simulation thing is the recently released PC game big ambitions, but it's just not the same. there's also shadows of doubt for a fully simulated single crime-ridden city, but again not the same.)
