Regarding the last paragraph, developers have adapted, and now include more complex/obscure secrets meant to be shared by people and solved together. Though of course if players just look things up before even trying then you can't stop them, but that's their own fault.

The modern scourge are dataminers, who will immediately jump to digging through game files and spoil puzzles in the communities trying to solve them. Not all of them will do that, but it only takes one to ruin the fun.

Also Tunic is an absolute banger of a game, would recommend, just don't spoil yourself!

Worth noting is that you can also get factorio DRM-free on the website, and then downloading mods is locked behind logging in with your account - same as playing multiplayer on online-mode servers. But mods are also just zip files that you can also download from the website (still need to log in and own the game), so same as games with steam workshop, people will share mods same as they share game files.

If that's too inconvenient for you to pirate, well, "piracy is a service issue" ;)

Divinity Original Sin (1 and 2) lets you play as big of an asshole as you'd like.

I haven't gone through it myself, but I think Baldur's Gate 3 has ways to side with "bad guys", I believe I've seen patch notes about expanding the content there, so that's also an option from the same devs.

But the origin characters generally aren't perfect and have their motivations, especially The Dark Urge.

Arguing that fission power won't do anything is objectively incorrect.

That's an opinion, regardless of whether it's true or not. The analogy is analogous because I'm taking the same actions and statements, applying them to analogous topics in a different field. Dismissing that because you believe your beliefs to be objective fact is just dishonest.

But that's more like having people talk about how we should do nuclear and renewable power, and you coming along complaining people should be working on developing fusion power instead because fission power just won't do anything

This has been explored to death, e.g. via the Demon Core experiments

If I'm not mistaken, in case of the demon core accidents, the reaction was always interrupted by the experimenter frantically separating the two halves, right? Doesn't mean it would detonate, but using it as an example of why it wouldn't doesn't seem to check out if I'm remembering correctly.

I've had dreams where I played a 2D top down game, and my perception would get mixed up/confused between the top down game view and a first person perspective.

I could certainly see myself dreaming of watching a video of something happening and transitioning from watching it to being there.

Despite having Table in the name, FAT isn't a table, but rather uses a table, and FAT itself is a filesystem. Thus, it's different from a machine with "machine" being in the name or a number with "number" in the name, and it seems entirely reasonable to refer to the crucial index table in the FAT filesystem as the "FAT table"

Do you actually need conventional explosives? I had the impression all they do is reliably stick the big hunks of radioactive material together in a big bomb that needs to be delivered at high speeds and detonate automatically. Wouldn't it be enough to quickly shove a cylinder into a bigger core, perhaps with a motor or even a tensioned spring?

That of course doesn't waive the issue of the amount of fissile material, or the fact it needs to be all put together (you can't spread it around a vest)

Not the wrong place if you want to comply with the law, as he explains in the PR comments, the law requires the installer to prompt for age when creating users.

If you mean molten salt reactors, guess what they do with the molten salt to make electricity...

I think with how Matrix is structured clients can support features that are not part of the core, including video calls. That said, it does mean you need to use one of the clients that support it (I think the most popular ones do), I think it's built on jitsi, and doesn't support screensharing (at least not with audio).
