The game can be remarkably wholesome if your actions are. It's not too difficult to take it in either direction depending on what you do.



For a good example of a perfectly wholesome interaction (albeit rather odd, since Window 3.1 could run games, and Linux does not normally need 8GB of ram). But at least I now know that Half Life 3 will be enjoyable if it ever comes out:

The first thing you do is to download a program called "Windows 3.1" from the Internet. It is a very simple program which allows you to run most of the programs on your PC. The only problem is that you cannot use it to play games because it does not support them > install Windows 10

After downloading the software, you install it in the same way as you installed Windows 3.1. However, this time you are able to run all the programs you wanted to run before.

> install linux

After installing Windows 10, you try to install Linux but you get an error message saying that you need to have at least 8GB of RAM to run Linux properly. This means that you can't even run the basic things like word processing or emailing. > buy more ram

You spend money on more ram so that you can run Linux properly. After spending $200, you finally get Linux running properly. > how much ram do i have?

You check your computer's memory and see that you have 32 GB of ram. You were lucky enough to find some cheap ram online. > play fortnite

You play Fortnite (a popular game) and enjoy yourself. You then proceed to play other games such as League of Legends and Dota 2. > play half-life 3

You play Half Life 3 (another popular game). You enjoy yourself and eventually finish the game. You then proceed to play other games such as Portal 2 and Left 4 Dead 2. >
