Oh I totally agree, I am very fatigued of violence driven games, and have high hopes for Palia. I’m just a little apprehensive that if they just try to copy the non combat parts of zelda and mix it up with animal crossing, it’s not going to be enough.
Same here, though I do wonder how they will keep us interested, as they have deliberately not shown any combat. Not even stardew valley went as far as removing combat from the gameplay loop.
I’m very divided with 1984. It’s context is so massively anti-communist, yet it ironically portrayed much of the authoritarianism we see today in capitalist countries. So much so that when I first read it in my teens, it didn’t cross my mind that he was taking shots at old Russia! I find it to be one of those few things that are better when you interpret it wrong.
Easy there, tiger. You will get there, don’t worry.
