    Okay, I won.

    I will say that I get negative carbon emissions at least before the halfway mark of my tenure, and the temperature does not go down enough for victory still.

    spoiler on how I got the temperature down

    I did the same as usual, except in my last years I did the Solar Radiation Management option that makes the Accelerationists like you. It has some negative side effects, but the worst ones will not show up because it dropped my temp and I won the game. That’s for my successor to deal with when the population gets mad and shoots down the planes doing the SRM and the temperature goes back up again :P

    I feel like there has to be a “clean” way to lower the temperature, without using SRM at the end and leaving a mess for my successor, but hey.

    tips for your first paragraph

    Get the big electricity upgrades and power just doesn’t matter. You can afford all the expensive Accelerationist production that is good for the land/water use efficiency, the animals, and emissions but a giant power draw then. Since it’s just drawing on all your green electricity it isn’t costing you fuel and making more emissions, or something like that.

    Got pretty far, surprised that I got a “me and the environmentalists failed to make the world a better place” picture at the end, given I had negative emissions, an ecstatic populace, and a message about how biodiversity was healing or something and Parliament trusted me completely by the time I died. Time to replay! Would get distracted from my life responsibilities again with this game.

    spoiler speculations on why I got that picture

    Global temperature was still +1.2C or something, and I didn’t finish the space upgrades. Will be back on my replay to see why!

    EDIT: Okay, I got everyone ecstatic, global temperature +0.2C, negative emissions, biodiversity with two filled-in bars. Still could not finish space upgrades. Still gave me the “me and the environmentalists failed to make the world a better place” dialogue. I give up.

    Mods are allowed, but you’re not allowed to make any for you to play. You can try to commission someone else to make them for you, though

    For gamers looking for ways to “get a new game” while still staying under these restrictions, it seems you pick a game with a ton of mods and an easy-to-mod and/or well-documented codebase so that the modders you hire are more willing to say yes to you.

    • The Sims (not sure which one though)
    • Skyrim (all the mods)
    • Stardew Valley (mods, plus has been go-to #2 for gaming with friends in my social circles)
    • Minecraft (mods, plus has been go-to #1 for gaming with friends in my social circles)
    • Factorio
    • Pokémon Soul Silver (we have ROM hacks!)
    • Crusader Kings 3
    • I was going to put a puzzle game here but I sadly don’t remember which one
    • either Kittens Game or Antimatter Dimensions. Long-lived incremental games. Gave up on Antimatter Dimensions after a certain point, but it by far has the most of my Steam hours. Limited to 10 games I’d probably pick it back up again.
    • either holding out for some masterful innovation in the visual novel genre, specifically one aimed at women; or Infinity Nikki, because if I get all the DLC automatically (or magically through an unlock process more like that in pay-once games) that means I can just enjoy a pretty game and forget about all the gacha stuff.

    work to improve the skill gap or draw 20

    acknowledge that one singular woman is currently better than you at this one particular skill or draw 20

    man it’s like there are options that don’t involve aggression towards another person for… not being bad at a video game

    I count myself lucky the men I know in real life are chill, and that I am not too interested in PvP games, scared off by the constant reinforcement from stories online that someone will be shitty to me because I am a woman. When I did play TF2 it was always pubs mic off and with a very gender-neutral username.
