Personally, I think that the best way to show people how they are being controlled is showing them the problem with the environment. Namely, the companies and governments managed to shift the responsibility from the industrial sector to the consumers. Companies create tons of waste per second, but through recycling, they are showing common people that they were the problem. Same with electricity. Big shots can burn fuels and consume energy as they please but I should turn off my tiny lightbulb or else the world is not saved.

I'm not Hindu follower (Hindu is one of religion in Indonesia) so I can still use electricity and having normal day activity. The rituals only for Hindu followers.
I just explained what was Hindu peoples in Indonesia to celebrate Day of Silence / Nyepi Day today on 22 March 2023.
Anyway, today the access to Bali island also get blocked for one day (No aeroplane, no ships, no cars) to give respect for Hindu peoples to do their Nyepi ritual.
So, during Nyepi Day, Bali will be completely silent, no peoples walking around except the non Hindu peoples and Pecalang (Hindu security guard) to keep control the situation, no vehicles swarming around, all the business buildings closed except hospital.
This is what it looks like at Bali during Nyepi Day.
@Anti-Matter Oh right, I missed that bit, I thought it was just a national holiday rather than a religious one. @ComfyAko Yeah, I mean they're hypocrites too, what with their private jets, y'know? @Eagly I thought you were talking about something important, guess I was wrong.

@TeaCatherine
Nyepi Day is national holiday in Indonesia but the Nyepi ritual only happened at Bali.
The Indonesian peoples in other places still able to do their daily activities normally.
@Anti-Matter Yeah, I misunderstood, sorry. In the interest of not derailing the VGM tournament thread, so you only vote on the matchups with your nominations in?

Japanese rail sim 3d costs peanuts now and it's pretty fun. You can buy a Kyoto line and drive a train on a real route, and if you finish a ride, you unlock some bits and pieces about the local tourist attractions along the way, etc.
Anyone interested in Japan could take a look, it's a little but charming game

@Anti-Matter Sorry if I sound preachy and annoying but I would recommend giving all the nominations a listen and voting on the matchups you don't have a horse in. As I've said before that way you can find new music you like, I certainly have. @ComfyAko Yeah, I'll be taking my final look on Friday probably. Also, what's the quote in your forum signature?

@Kermit1 It took me a while to decipher what that meant and I had to get help from google, but now I know that Five guys is a restaurant.
Regarding TLoU, shame that they censored some episodes in some countries
Also, did anyone hear what somebody from the cast of TLou said about video games? I can't remember the exact quote, but it was something along the line of "Video games were simple, you jumped on enemies you died and put in another quater. TLoU changed that" and after I stopped laughing I decided that I need to see what will come out of such unhinged minds

@ComfyAko So, on this site there's this thread that has regular VGM tournaments with a different theme each time.
I bought Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse and I'm considering getting Ace Attorney Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice.
