The room next door is an "assisted cancer suicide" personal movie, but has as punchline that US empire climate terrorism justifies suicide.

I like the idea of Spec Ops, but the game getting judgemental and preachy about how evil I am when it literally isn't giving me any alternative is a big turn off.
In earlier builds there was actually an option to do the right thing and stop this madness, and it would just roll credits. That was actually brilliant, but too many beta testers kept doing exactly that and wondering if the game was that short, if it was joke, or if they were missing something.... So they removed the option
A shame, because if the game has me on rails, then it's not my fault that terrible shit happens. It's the person who designed the course this way.
It's why I find Undertale to be a better anti-violence message.

I used to, but I found making the world my enemy and acting accordingly only leaves people acting with ignorance rather than malice thinking they were right about people like me.
Keep in mind, I speak of kindness only to people who don't know better, not people who definitely do and are just basically fucking Nazis

Never heard that about early builds, which makes me think it's perhaps not verified.
I took it as the railroading matching up with Walker's feelings of having only one choice. It doesn't make sense to continue, but you feel forced to anyway - very much like him. What makes it more convincing, to me, is that there are hundreds of other action games that don't give you a non-action, non-killing choice - and no one has those same criticisms of those games.
I respect Undertale, I guess I never felt much admiration for its peaceful methods because it's such a direct translation of their combat mechanics, when making peace with people is rarely so simple.

It's not a fictional disease. They stopped crop rotations as the soil became too fucked up so everyone is using the same GMO corn but because they are identical they are susceptible to the same disease and it can spread rapidly.
This has happened to lots of crops like bananas and is currently happening again.
The beginning of the movie is people trying to just play their baseball game around a sandstorm getting annoyed at scientists for telling them the world is ending to the point where NASA is in hiding.
Not fictional. Likely reality without the, us getting lucky enough to shoot McConaughey through a wormhole bit.

You are failing because you assume that when given the facts they they would agree with you. For the most part they know the facts and choose deliberately to act in the way they have.
They have such vastly different motivations and priorities from you that you can’t understand how they could know the true and act like they do.
Imagine what your decisions would look like if you chose to actively punish people you disagreed with.
You see someone running by the pool and say, don’t run you could slip and fall.
Solution one: post a sign and install slip resistant coating, making it harder to fall, but still possible.
Solution two: see the person running and deliberately trip them so they fall, rending your warning correct.

I just mean that I don't remember if climate change was specifically called out. I don't think it was. Not that another ecological disaster wasn't a major plot point.

Ahh man it's been on the rewatch list for some time and like there is like 20 different disasters happening on earth in that movie. I don't know if they specifically call it out but I mean wildfires, blights, and shutdown of governments... It feels like the reason they don't call it out is why bother at that point.
But you might be right that they just call out symptoms and leave it at that. It's shockingly anti science while on earth. -

The movie isn't for everyone even if you agree with its message. It's a really dry satire. I enjoyed it because the movie made me feel like I was going crazy as I watched it, and that feeling has stuck with me.
