I heard somewhere that this was the original plan. They changed it because computers were new and they didn't think people would understand "using human brains as CPUs"

I've really enjoyed the videos of James Veitch on annoying scanners. Especially this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MHDDSekvcE. The scammer wants him to contact this "bank" and open an account. He than makes up, that he read somewhere that you get a free toaster with any new account. He than goes on and on about the free toaster until the scanner asks him to stop emailing him.

Damn... I've heard that it was bad but I've never read it until now...

Das tut niemand.

He did use the term "Giga-Taxi" too

It would would probably kick saurons time table a bit back

I think they are referencing this Clip from Volker Pisper (first Minute).

Ich bin doch nicht euer Deutschlehrer.

A full commitment's what I'm thinking of

"Keine Kraft mehr zum klagen"

What makes it so hard is, that most of the problems you're gonna face (starvation, sanaty, freezing, missing wappons/armor for battles) can be avoided/overcome easily only if you are prepared. Once the problems are here you often have no chance to deal with them when unprepared.

So after a while it becomes a constant danger evaluation in your head: There is an enemy... Fight or avoid? If i fight i might get hurt. Do i have time do find stuff to heal after the fight? And so on...

And adventure mode adds even more problems to the mix.

After writing this i realised that this sounds really stressful. But at the same time this is why i like this game so much :]

There are programs that can check such things as runtime, wear (...).
