Limits of the visual style make creating feedback is especially hard (and pleasant :D). Look at these tiny flashes, helping to understand what you've just gathered.

For most of history, we paid a severe tax on being human and relying on humans. A week to hear back from a lawyer. Three hundred dollars for a form. A support call where the man calling you saar doesn't know the answer. A doctor who absolutely does not give a shit and will not diagnose you correctly no matter how many times you visit. Much of the economy is sitting in queues. Inboxes. Approvals. Middlemen billing hours for minutes of work. That monotonous, useless slack was invisible and expensive because there was nothing to compare it to and no alternative. Now there is. AI is going to decimate the middle men. It will give you a diagnosis, expert legal advice, and fill as much paperwork as the most ardent bureaucrat can dream of. And everyone is losing their mind.

I really like the colors and lighting in this scene I’m building, but people will have a hard time believing it’s an FPS

Replying to @TheMoosterChief
I find it amusing, how the argument against Virus being alive is that it requires existence of other organisms to proliferate. Humans require other organisms to survive, so what? The most arbitrary boundary ever, and a constant reminder than regardless of field, people pick and choose arbitrary dogma like religious truths.
