Research published in the Dutch medical journal Medisch Contact found a rise in spine curvature among 8- to 18-year-olds. The doctors told The Irish Times that herniated disks and curvature of the spine was last seen in children more than 100 years ago.

stegosaurus posted:papers please is weird. communist dystopia but people are trying to get in, and you have to pay for medicine and rent. plus you get paid a piece rate and not a salary... interesting how the dystopian elements, those creating the 'pressure' the game forces you to respond to, have nothing to do with the system that prevailed in the region the game is clumsily attempting to reference. and the bureaucratic shit applied to getting into america as much as getting out of the soviet union. bad game.
the designers said its supposed to be a mix of fascist and communist (totalitarian ie) systems thats represented. and um i dont think its supposed to be a comment on communism so much as inhumane immigration policies generally? since theyve also made comments about american immigration policy iirc

its totally 100% directed at former communist countries down to the fake slavic name and ponderous music and labor lottery shit. the fact that the designer 'made comments' is nice I guess but his game is different
