I wouldn't.

I was a bit aggressive on like my second playthrough and ended up killing a couple people to get their medicine. The guy that killed them was too depressed to scavenge and killed himself. Then another person got depressed because of that and wouldn't do anything. Then she got sick and died shortly after. I was too sad to play for awhile after that one.

This War of Mine. Honestly can't believe nobody else has mentioned it.
You play as a group of civilians in a war torn country. By day you craft things needed for survival like a stove for cooking, guns for protection, barricades to prevent raiders. At night you send one person with a backpack to scavenge an area of your choice for things like food, medicine, supplies etc. The others will either sleep or guard the property. Things you do while scavenging have real effects on your characters. Decided to rob an elderly couple? Your characters will react based on their personality.
Things become grim fast if you decide to start robbing supplies or get attacked. Your players get sick, become depressed, starve, get hurt etc. I've never made it to the end.
It's a great way to understand the struggles of being a civilian in a war. The Polish government actually recommends it for educational purposes and the devs have donated a lot of proceeds to charities serving people impacted by war, including Ukraine most recently.

How many people actually have showers in their workplace?
- Comment on Why is propaganda frowned upon? 10 months ago:
Propaganda does not have to have a hidden agenda. Literally the "I want you" uncle Sam poster is propaganda. That agenda was pretty obvious, there was no question who was behind it and it was pretty clear why it was commissioned in the first place.
There has been propaganda encouraging car-pooling, reusing materials, conserving electricity, promoting employment etc, and many of them even had credits as to who the message was coming from.
Propaganda is not inherently evil, but it's important to understand the context and where it's coming from.

Girls go to HD 189733b to get a degree, boys go to Kepler 11b to get drunk on Hennessy?
- Comment on Anon is Icelandic 10 months ago:
Not enough people outside the capital to make it worth it. They have had rail systems built but were later decommissioned. One was built for the building if a harbor but after construction it didn't get much use.
- Comment on Do people who are in late stage dementia still aware of the concept of death? 10 months ago:
It already is an option in certain states in the US and I think parts of Europe.
- Comment on This person's rejection reason 11 months ago:
Close. He died on 4/30, he was born on 4/20. But there were many deaths at Columbine High School on 4/20/1999.
- Comment on I love purple. 11 months ago:
My high school offered US History, Religion History, World History, European History and 20th Century History. US Govt and Economics, Anthropology and Film History were also taught by the same dept and the credits went towards social studies requirements.

Good catch, I didn't even notice the percentages. I did look at the date but of course the meal was purchased on the one day this month where that's not helpful lol
- Comment on Restaurant Bill 1 year ago:
Let's see... dollar sign? Well that cuts out a lot of the world. Written in English, so that leaves about 3 countries. Australia doesn't have a tipping culture the same way we do in North America so that leaves either Canada or the US, in which case you can replace state with province and cover your bases.

Man I hope you stretched before those mental gymnastics, wouldn't want you to pull your victim complex muscle.
- Comment on 5 feet apart = Not gay 1 year ago:
Some Vines are so deeply embedded in my memory that I'm sure I'll still be able to quote them even after the dementia has destroyed my ability to recognize my loved ones.
In hospice, surrounded by grieving loved ones saying their last goodbyes, the nurse watching on as I'm drifting away confused and irritable, doing their best to ensure my passing is as comfortable as possible, with my last breath I'll mutter "road work ahead? Yeah I sure hope it does"...
- Comment on What do you call the next major American holiday which will occur on Monday, October 9th? - Lemmy.world 1 year ago:
They took a holiday about an Italian who had nothing to do with the US much like that man took indigenous people prisoners? That's what didn't sit right with you? So weird to think an Italian funded by the Spanish was somehow important enough to a country that didn't exist for another 300 years that the government made it a federal holiday.
More time passed between him erroneously finding the Americas and the signing of the Declaration of Independence than the US has even been around.
- Comment on What's good in small concentrations, but lethal in higher? What's a glaring red flag you're encroaching on a lethal concentration? 1 year ago:
But it's a nothing comment. Water has an LD50. It's 90ml/kg. LSD has no known LD50 and has not been the sole cause of any known death. Drowning in it would not mean you died from LSD toxicity, you would die from asphyxiation. Sand doesn't have a lethal dose but can still kill you. But it wouldn't be from sand overdose.

Yeah but then that could be said about literally everything.
- Comment on Sun Burn 1 year ago:
Anybody can get a sunburn. The melanin in the darkest skin tone only gives a baseline SPF of around 10. While they are far less likely to get burns, it's still possible and when they develop skin cancer it's usually diagnosed in a later stage with a negative prognosis.
Sunburns are radiation burns, and doesn't have to include red skin to be present.
