  • Games can be one of the nice forms of entertainment like tv series or films, so i’d say yes.

    Just try to look for really good games, like zelda breath of the wild, bioshock infinite, twelve minutes, sayonara wild hearts and so on. No online games, no infinite games, no games that are more like a job than a game (where you have to grind for everything) and so on. Games that let you enjoy the gameplay, the art and the story without making you feel like ‘‘oh i have to login or i lose the fit and i have to get the daily rewards and bla bla bla’’.









  • I still haven’t played it but I have it on my list thanks to an Italian review that pointed out some healthy aspects:

    • no minimap, so you have to actually get guided by exploring interesting stuff around you; basically nullifying the “I have to go there to enjoy playing” effect
    • you get to choose your role basically just by doing the stuff you prefer; basically if you like climbing and keep doing climbing stuff eventually you will bring the character to be a climber (the story is about a travel of self discovery, no progression stats iirc)
    • no fighting, mostly like a realistic exploration lived irl





  • I don’t see how being critical and optimistic about tech is mutually exclusive

    It’s not… But it’s a bit like the word “feminism” that includes much more than women struggles. Techno-optimists it’s not about being positive about some technology.

    Not all of them, but to me being tech-positive and understanding technologies can be sustainable is at the core of solarpunk

    I agree, hence we say solarpunk and not techno-optimists :P
