> Define important
The Malacca Strait carries ~1/4 to 1/3 of the world's shipping and is one of the main routes to/from China, Japan, South Korea etc. It is such an important route that its physical parameters define a category of ship (malaccamax). By any meaningful metric it is important.

Tyranny (video game) - Wikipedia
Isn't the Obsidian game Tyranny based on that kind of concept (albeit in a more ancient setting)?

At least in the theatrical release the action scenes was shown in 48 FPS and the more standard dialogue stuff was in 24 FPS (by just doubling up the frames).
Mostly.
The transitions were not always seamless either.

A chart used by Trump to push misinformation about migration to America. It states that Trump left office in April 2020.
Trump at the RNC showing off how much he really loves the chart.
Yeah (note the arrow and text at the bottom). It's not the only bit of bullshit on the graph but it's the most obvious.
It also ties into the assassination attempt (he was looking at it when the bullet grazed him) which lead to some ridiculous scenes at the RNC.

Ultimately I really don't know what there is to say about Blue Prince.
It is fresh and not. It is fair and not. It is fun and not.
Exceptional, and overhyped, and still good. I think I'm glad I played it, just to understand it.

Despite Blue Prince being extremely my jam in theory I cannot remember a game I've had to work harder at to try and enjoy. 3 hours in and it's offered me basically nothing.
