I think the genre you are looking for is “immersive sims”. Notable historical examples are Thief, Deus Ex, and System Shock.

That would be weird for Outer Wilds. It’s not really a game about figuring out a complex sequence of events that let you get the correct solution to the time loop, the way so many time loop stories are. There are a couple locations that can only be accessed early or late, but those locations only contain information; once you’ve reached them you have no need to go back on subsequent looks.

And since the game is about exploration, it doesn’t really feel repetitive (at least it didn’t to me), because you’re always looking for something new

Ultimately, these sorts of crimes are incredibly common for occupying armies. Culture impacts the way these crimes are handled – are they punished, ignored, covered up, or tacitly (or even explicitly) encouraged? But the common element is soldiers, and the way that war leads to the dehumanization of the enemy, not that some cultures breed uniquely evil people.

Yes – America (original by Simon and Garfunkel)

Anthony Vincent – Chop Suey in the style of Ghost (original by System of a Down)

Dr Pez & Marc Papeghin – The soundtrack of Ocarina of Time, but its a prog rock concept album (not sure it technically counts as a cover)

Brass Against – The Pot (Original by Tool)

The Jimi Hendrix Experience – All Along the Watchtower (Original by Bob Dylan)

Also, not sure how widely known this is, but Arethra Franklin’s Respect is itself a cover (and certainly one of the best covers of all time, up there with All Along the Watchtower and Johnny Cash’s rendition of Hurt)

Putting all the various “gaming” communities on kbin and Lemmy together on one page is a nice QOL feature but I’m not sure it’s a good idea to present them to users as all the same thing. Gaming@kbin and gaming@lemmy and gaming@beehaw are different groups with different rules managed by different people and if users don’t know that it’s going to cause confusion in the long run
