There aren’t really clear-cut lines between the genres. Imagine a Venn diagram where the circles are logic puzzles, hidden object games, hypertext interactive fiction, and D&D-inspired CRPGs, and somewhere in the very large overlap between those four circles is where you find what’s traditionally been termed the “point-and-click adventure game”. You can push a game a fair ways toward any one of those poles without knocking it out of the genre entirely; e.g., it’s not uncommon for a game that’s 90% find-the-widget inventory puzzles to suddenly hit you with an induction problem or ask you to solve the Tower of Hanoi or whatever, and it’s hard to argue that’s not logic puzzle territory.

yurp, could work.

It would take a LOT of preparation, and a good amount of advancement in technology because while geothermal energy is 24/7, it is also very slow to convert to usable forms. Best bet would be to move underground to provide some insulation as the surface without the sun will eventually level out to around -400 F. We can make insulation for that but even the best insulation would still need heating which requires energy. Although, it will take a while to get there. After about a year we’ll reach -100 and will take longer to level out at -400.

Also, unless you struck the perfect balance of plants/animals and had them all in one massive room, you’ll need oxygen. And while during the beginning you’d be fine with getting oxygen from the atmosphere, and given the smaller population you’d have to have to maintain this system you could get oxygen from the atmosphere for a good while, oxygen does have a freezing point of -360ish F. Which means it will eventually become solid and turn into ‘oxygen snow’. This would have to be scooped up and collected.

Though given the technology to achieve all this, I’m guessing there could be an efficient way of turning CO2 into oxygen invented without the use of plants which are fairly slow. Or just set up a fuck ton of algae tubes all over the place. 

Theoretically the earths internal energy would run out in a few billion years, but by that time we could probably invent ways of getting energy from other sources, such as the movement of people/animals or ocean stuff (the ocean would mostly freeze but way way down there would still be liquid water.) Energy would still slowly leak out and there wouldn’t be much of a way to replace it, but it would take a Long ass time. 

thank you for all the links!

yeah he doesn’t know how human beings actually talk, so everything has to be this quippy ~badass~ line or this long ~epic~ diatribe where he projects his unjustified victim complex onto random characters he clearly doesn’t understand the point or history of

You’re exactly right. They treat it like you’re calling them a bad name, or being rude to them, when you’re literally just calling their behaviour what it is. It’s like being called homophobic etc. is actually worse, to them, than actually being homophobic. They don’t want to APPEAR bigoted, they just want to BE bigoted without facing any consequences.

The consequences, of course, are being called out on their behaviour.
