She is likely basing this conclusion on prior experiences.

It is, at least in California. You have ronhave at least one ear free.

And you didn't even mention driving. Every single time someone drives, they break a law, whether it's not using your turn signal properly, speeding 1 mile over the speed limit, or even wearing headphones.

Ok, I wasn't sure, hence the question mark.

I agree with you 100%. I think the game does this especially well when it comes to major deaths and cuts scenes, like with Whitney, Abby vs Ellie in the theater, etc. But I think the game falls a bit flat when it comes to the attempts in standard combat to make you feel bad. They have people yelling other people's names and try to have the characters talk in a way that humanized them, but it ultimately falls to ludonareative dissonance because gameplay is really fun.

So anyway, I think I just see both sides of this argument, and I totally agree with you that the people who wanted to kill Abby at the end missed the point.

Laws are such that everyone breaks at least one every single day, which allows for elselective enforcement.

It's definitely this. Except the kids taking summer classes, which statistically probably have higher instances of cheating.

Reddit bought imgur though, didn't they? So that's part of their expenses.

I put a time management app on my phone for that. After 5 minutes, reddit was blocked for an hour. Max time on app, 30 minutes a day.

I like 2 better. The plot is more rich, the gameplay is smoother. Encounters feel more organic whereas in the first game, encounters feel too encapsulated.

I'm not them, but it's very hard to condemn violence in a game where the violence is pretty fun.
