@giantgio Hardware had just gotten to the point where the shaders required to make water look nice were fairly cheap to run so designers kinda just ran wild with this aesthetic that was mostly off limits before.
@Treyy7777 I like the idea that 21st century office spaces have independently converged on an aesthetic that mimics a secret parallel reality that most people never see directly. It's much more effective cosmic horror that way imo.
@hayasaka_aryan I'm usually not arguing this way on this sort of topic but they followed the kid and shot him while he was running away. Seems crazy to me he beat the murder charge tbh.
@bonchieredstate Lack of low to moderate struggle breeds aimless contempt for ones surroundings. People were meant to live through some amount of ambient adversity. If they don't get any, they will make some for themselves.
@AkkadSecretary Women routinely clutter their surroundings while performing basic tasks (using unnecessary cookware for meals, unpacking and storing items in redundant containers, etc.). The extra hours invested return almost nothing.
