Hence the "Not that I disagree about Ukraine" right at the beginning. Just pointing out the fireman metaphor doesn't really work here.

Decoy joke

Wait, we're all eyes?

Who? I can't read that one word.

No, it's 100% genuine.

You do what you gotta do if you have no orb.

Look up OneShortEye on youtube. The main focus is point and click game speedrunning, but a lot of the videos are an in-depth look into the design and history of various games, like this one about Colonel's Bequest.

I've recently been thinking of how I hate RPGs where if you have a choice, it's between obviously bad and obviously good outcome. Bonus points when it's determined by a single dialogue option at the end.

So I came up with a concept of an RPG where every quest has multiple solutions and every single one of them turns out disastrously for everyone involved. Like I'd love to see some real gut-punches there. The only way to avoid that would be to not accept the quest in the first place. If you don't, after some in-game time passes you get to hear how the situation resolved itself nicely without your involvement. The kicker? Most if not all XP would come from quest rewards, so in order to not cause harm to everyone you meet, you'd have to essentially do a challenge run.

I believe her contributions are farily well known nowadays. The idea was probably to highlight those that most people never heard of.

Well well, aren't you the optimist.

Not that I disagree about Ukraine but a good firefighter would probably know if a house is a lost cause and that the best course of action is to prevent the fire from spreading to others.
