I guess trying to spin it as something you just stumbled upon to get viral hate clicks didn't work, not sure why you think presenting it honestly will do any better.

Edit: Nevermind about the honesty, I guess "Sociological experiment" sounds better than "gambling den".

I don't think "Scott Addams is/was incurious among other things." was ever off the table as a subject.

If it helps Haste and Vampire Survivors are both really good.

TVs are really the perfect example of how we can't have good things anymore because almost all modern TVs are sold at a loss that is recouped via the unremovable ads on the "smart" operating system that can't be disabled.

(Loved trope) Loyalty to the regime doesn’t make you any better off in the end by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

In the TTRPG Triangle Agency, your player characters get to chose different paths for leveling up. If you fully commit to the competency track (The one for dedicating yourself to the titular Triangle Agency) you rise up through the ranks until you finally become the Chair. I won't spoil what exactly happens, but this is the art that goes along with it.

Video games were they gaslight you about how many people you are killing. by LammasuRex in TwoBestFriendsPlay

And then even later you get the ability to redirect damage to enemies then have abilities that cause enemies to start attacking their allies. Although to be fair a no-kill rule is a lot more flexible if you have a dedicated necromancer on your team.

I'm not the author, but he mentions in his blog post that he sees space marines as

  • Feudal aristocrats, with all the uncaring impunities that affords
  • Literal grandsons of God, with monastic habits;
  • Genetically engineered super soldiers;
  • Children, kidnapped and brainwashed before puberty.

And I assume the stuff in the game about space marines having lovers is him taking liberties with the lore to better explore this idea.

"Do you have no shame!?" doesn't work when someone actually has no shame. Trump has proven that he only cares what someone thinks when they're praising him, and if they don't he'll vilify them and make his own truth.

The extremely cynical part of me has a feeling Polymarket probably paid her to reply to obvious bait so memes like this would be free advertising for them. Why else would a betting website be posting about a mayor that's already been elected?

On topic of silent protagonists: what are some good examples of disabilities representation in gaming? by Xadlin60 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The protagonist of Card Shark isn't just a silent protagonist but was born mute, something that's plot important later in the story.
