I assume this is satire? You could describe all gameplay that way

Avoiding secessions is very hard. As others have mentioned, multiculturalism and low infamy help. As will religious secularism, high welfare pay, and public healthcare, to avoid more discrimination and rapidly increase quality of life. You're also right that buildings will help, but often not soon enough. Consider subsidising local industries to avoid unemployment.

In my experience, the most effective tool to avoid secession is using authority for local edicts - violent suppression, social mobility and emergency welfare especially. With those, I have seen the secession progress bar reverse course.

Tldr spend a lot of time and money and effort in it, or just post soldiers nearby.

Do not enjoy games the way you like. REPEAT, YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR GAME WRONG

Though people have made bad games since forever, what I do think the modern industry lacks is random passionate nerds getting the chance to have a whole studio to develop their super weird niche idea into a game.

Ye olden times had a lot of well funded flops from that approach, but also some real winners.

Maybe I'm just old but the Xbox 360 era is also modern gaming in my eyes

Descriptivists will never haltodulate the hatsrglabatude of us prescriptivists.

I do, but I don't think that necessarily means no gun control. You can arm workers without making death machines freely available.

These issues are not in windows 98 PCs, these issues are almost entirely on up to date hardware.

Yes. May need to turn off secure boot too.

Are they installed on separate drives? Depending on the exact setup, Linux and windows both generally support legacy as a boot method, so you may be able to just BIOS to select a boot drive.

With covid especially, chances of survivability are greatly heightened by having priority medical care.

This objection always confused me. If you're going to random ass apply wolf sociology to humans on the basis of nothing, then captive ones are probably a better approximation. So it makes sense in that lens.

The real and only flaw of applying that study to humans is that we are not in fact wolves (citation needed).
