@inthehands so in the Horizon series of video games, the whole apocalypse was triggered by a CEO with a personality complex going from developing robots to weapons development and overriding the safeguards. so i’m afraid that series is more prophetic than i realized.

@saddestrobots And he didn't even get the birds-of-paradise sequenced, either. I thought I was gut-punched enough by HZD, but HFW wrecked me all over again.

I have a proposed speedrun category for HFW that might interest you: All Memorials. It's any% but with several deliberate pauses at specific shrines to honor virtual and IRL folks who are no longer with us. (No spoilers, but some of these memorials are *very* obvious once you've finished the game once, and some are hidden in the overworld.)

If you're interested, here is a demonstration run I performed last year, taking 3:59. Time ends not when the final boss is defeated, but when Aloy sits with Varl at the mountain memorial with the nice view. https://youtube.com/live/CZvWVXWaf2w
