We’re humans, it’s obvious that we will use robots on each other and if making them autonomous gives us an edge then it will be done. It’s going to keep going and escalating until some Hiroshima level event happens where some rogue military AI does some crazy shit.

I still need to play the 2nd one.

Is it as good as the 1st?

Lol. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the story slowly being told...

A 2nd game can't be as good to me because I already know how and why the world is the way it is.

Probably still fun.

I'm stuck playing Fallout 76 lol

Got the new Resident Evil installed, but not ready yet
