Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It is a lot easier to be 'evil' or at least amoral in a game that does not play as a giant power trip for the player by making them fairly easy to become absurdly OP.

For example, play Kenshi.

You don't have to be 'evil', but chances are, going out of your way to be 'good' all of the time will get you scammed, enslaved, starved to death or killed.

In many video games, being good vs evil is a relatively costless, relatively cosmetic decision.

It usually takes either an extremely harsh world, or very good storytelling to make such decisions more meaningful, where pragmatism and the innate messiness of reality factor in more greatly, to make such decisions more meaningful.
