As for age of consent and other things,
Mind that age of consent and adult age are not usually the same, and if you investigate around the world, you are due to some pretty surprise.

For instance, in Italy age of consent is 14. Theoretically a grown ass man could sleep with a 14 years old girl (or any gender combination) and they are technically fine, as long as it can be proved that the minor was indeed freely consentient. I wouldn't try the stunt by the way, you would be still considered morally horrible and you could still end up in trouble. But like if there is a minimal age gap not many would be bothered. When i was 21 i dated a 16 girl for some time. I knew her family, they where cool with it, no big deal. If i would do it now in my 40's of course things wouldn't be smooth at all.

In other parts of the world it varies, but it's very frequently under the legal age. I believe in europe the average runs between 14 and 16. I think Japan's age of consent is stil 13 and i'm not entirely sure they even have an official adult age.

it would be like comparing He-Man to Conan.
Did you actually watch either He-Man or Conan?

Besides featuring a guy with too much muscle, they actually have very little in common.

For starters, He-Man is fantasy/sci-fi while Conan is fantasy/historical. Literally everything is different.

Oh I agree. Super similar and really more of a rip-off. However, I think if Hot Sands was able to match Stalkers graphics and art quality, then it would be like comparing He-Man to Conan. He-Man just needed to sell off Conan toys, but since Conan was Adults, they could not sell the toys to kids. So they made a shitty cartoon and repurposed the toys to sell to kids. Conan is the original and superior project, but He-Man was able to constantly produce cartoon episode and product to sell while Arnold learned English! haha.

So many Hot Sands could become our He-Man, while we wait for Stalker to finish fucking his slave girl in the basement, or Zombie Queen in the abandoned city?
The only possible comparison between those two games is about graphics and context. In terms of writing and everything else, Desert Stalker is just untouchable (too few games with that kind of quality, whatever the kinks). Hot Sands is pretty low in quality (other than context and graphics), and aside from being abandoned, it's short, too little content. I saw it was mentionned a lot when I was searching for something like Desert Stalker while waiting for the update, tried it (and kind of liked it if I didn't try to compare with DS) but was disappointed with the lack of content. Unfortunately, I found no game to come close to Desert Stalker's quality (kinks, graphics and context/genre)... I would love someone to tell me I'm wrong...

Maybe I should have called Hot Sands the dr.wham to Desert Stalker's dr pepper instead of discount Desert Stalker. They're the same demographic, difference is in quality.

Being a Dr Pepper fan, I can get behind that comparison (and no period ;)).

As someone who plays both games as well, Hot Sands Antarctica is not whatsoever abandoned. The development has been greatly slowed down, because the developer's wife, who he made this project together with divorced him, which caused radio silence for a long while, until the update before last came out. The next update is releasing real soon.

Also, I agree that Desert Stalker is overall a better product, mainly with the world-building/characterization, graphics, and numerous impactful choices. However, I do believe is Hot Sands Antarctica is a good game and if it had similar support, the game would be a worthy rival to Desert Stalker, whether that happens or not remains to be seen. Competition is always good for the consumers.

The scriptures also say humans were born from Adam and Eve so basically we all have been doing incest till now .
And we have, since science relizied, by the study of mitochondrial DNA all current human being alive are direct discendants of the same female exemplar of hominide. And i don't mean the same specie. I mean the very same person.
Of course albeith this individual have been called 'the Mitochondrial Eve' this has nothing to do with the biblical Eve, not to mention any Adam.
