I loved exile so much! It was made by pesto studios and I feel like cyan wouldn't want to make any of the non cyan Myst games. However they sought after and received the rights to all of the Myst games. So who knows, maybe they would.

This demos so well! I played the original 1997 Riven, I hope 2024 Riven can make an impression on newcomers!
It's so deep, expansive and immersive and I'm not sure if there is anything else out there that has the same feel.
I think you're right in that it's better to be subtle.
The thing about audiences is that they span the gamut, so a little bit of in-your-face is likely seen as warranted for that spectrum of the audience, and a little bit of subtle for observant viewers casts a wider net.
Although I find Doctor Who to be among the least subtle in whatever it tries to do in the genre so, anything over the top kind of feels like it fits in the show as long as they intersperse the season with less obvious commentary as well. My partner only complained that everyone was running around and screaming the whole time 😂
Let's just hope nobody interprets using proper pronouns as leading to a nuclear apocalypse 🫣
I liked the commentary. I find in sci-fi a short parallel to our world is often not seen as a jab because the veneer of sci-fi is enough to disguise it for most people.
I asked my partner if he noticed the commentary and he didn't at all 😅
It's mostly sold as alternate history for the space race, but it's first and foremost a drama.
Drama about people that happen to go to space in an alternate world.
Drama about people having sex with >! their dead children's best friend who they also raised once their parents went to space and died, the repercussions which amazingly happened for multiple seasons, it's kind of weird. !<
The driving force of the show is not the alternate history.
Omega mart in Las Vegas might come close?
Can't think of large scale ones unless you include the rest of Las Vegas.
This is like someone standing in Times Square saying, "I don't go to New York or tourist destinations!"
Why are you here? How did you manage to get here?
Star trek Voyager: Elite force!
It was so good for its time. I loved it so much as a kid. I especially loved the portable pattern buffer being a great in-universe solution to explain how a game character can carry many different weapons. It fits so well into the universe that I half expected to see such a thing on the shows someday. It would have been too disruptive to plot development for the characters always to have what they need with them, though.
Thanks for the giveaway, amazing to see you in the fediverse!
Haha it sounds silly, but you're right to get them to check for contraindications 😄
I started using symbicort for post infection inflammation and irritation. I haven't had a cough longer than a day for years now. Existing over the counter cough medicine should be outlawed for lack of efficacy.
Still get sick though 😮💨
Joe-joe-bah oil!
