Yep. That’s why there are infamous flops such as Undertale and Celeste. That little purple trans ghost? Guess how Mario made Nintendo so unprofitable they couldn’t even release a sequel to the Switch. And man, those poor guys at the Last of Us who made no money on any of the games or the streaming series. Damn. If only people supported woke artists? But less sarcastically, have you noticed how games that “avoid politics” are often dull and uninspiring? Whoop de doo, Call of Duty 5,396. Such innovative gameplay. And the people who stick to those games and avoid anything woke? We call them… bigots. Calling out examples that make you look good is easy. Try taking a stand for marginalized people next. It’s harder and more rewarding.

You realize you’re on the communist instance, right? Saying “capitalism has decided transphobia is profitable” doesn’t actually mean much.

Would Pac-Man be considered art? In its day it would have been a technological achievement, but was it created to be art or to extract money from players? If the latter, then that’s its politics. If it was made with the intention of being art, then maybe it has to do with unlimited consumption? Not sure.

Musk suddenly discovers that his “cost-cutting” task force was convenient to get voters, but ultimately did not serve the fascist cause. He did get rid of a lot of public services and programs, though, so he wasn’t an entirely useless pawn.

Oxygen Not Included has toilets and people shitting the floor if they can’t get to one. Abiotic Factor has a pooping mini game you have to play when you use the toilet, which is not super often but more so than I’d like.

Fucking fuck fucking fucker fuck! What is this government’s problem with allowing people to live? I guess we’re only killing off the non-workers, so only the worthless people, right? Except, y’know, CEOs and landlords who don’t work either, but they make plenty of money and don’t have to worry about Medicaid. Burn this fucking thing to the ground!

Something similar happened to us several years ago and within minutes a tornado for the history books was over us. Where we were at the time we narrowly missed it, but the area it did go for was ravaged.

I loved Dark Duel Stories for the GBC. I used to play it all the time even though it’s probably not even that great. You could just randomly stack two cards together, and if they were in their esoteric list of possible fusions, you’d get a really strong dude on the field basically free. There was also a Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanic so even if you had a weak monster on the field, they could still obliterate a tough one if they had the right typing.

I’d be careful throwing around the word ‘crazy’ like that. Lumping in Innocent people with mental illness together with intentionally being a ghoul. She chose to be a prosecutor and to be abnormally cruel about it. She’s not crazy; she’s cruel.

I don’t want to fix Shadowheart as much as I want to work through our religious trauma together. We can fix each other, y’know? Best option given the lack of therapists in Faerûn.
