Really, the thing that makes this game is the sound design. While the strategy gameplay is compelling, the harsh bark of the shotgun when it goes off, how the music intensifies for a moment after you get jolted back to life, and the tension and/or relief you feel when you hear the click of the hammer falling on a blank round. The sound is what sells the spooky atmosphere more than anything else.

The gameplay itself is fun, too; best way I can describe it is a memory/strategy game revolving around counting shells in a shotgun, trying to deplete the Dealer’s life while preserving your own, and using a series of items to influence the game.

It’s cheap, spooky, and compelling. I strongly recommend giving it a shot.

Musk bought it because he’s a dumbass.

Because he thinks he’s clever and wants everybody to think he’s clever (also because he was mad that Twitter kept banning his buddies for being fascists), he hatched a plan to send Twitter a formal offer to buy it for way more than it was worth. Musk thought that Twitter was owned by a bunch of left-wing ideologues and were using the site as their own personal microphone (sound familiar?), so when they inevitably turn down his offer, he could go “Aha! Gotcha, you fuckin’ Marxists!” and everyone would clap and call him smart.

But Twitter was not owned by a bunch of left-wingers. It was owned by businessmen. Musk’s buddies were getting banned because it’s not good business to have an advert for Disneyland next to a racist/anti-Semetic tweet, not because of ideology. And when those businessmen saw that Musk was offering to buy Twitter for several times what it was worth, they jumped on the offer, then sued Musk when he tried to back out.

Hilariously, Musk agreed to buy Twitter as soon as the discovery process started. I’d bet money that his phone was a black hole of cringe/illegal activity and he wanted to keep it from going public.

Musk didn’t want to buy Twitter, and he doesn’t want to destroy Twitter; it’s just a side effect of using it to stroke his ego.

I mean, the likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos could end world hunger with a snap of their bony fingers, and they’re not doing it, despite the fact that they would still be wealthy beyond comprehension if they did.

We’re asking them to do the bare minimum and utilize their wealth in a responsible manner, and they’re not even doing that much.

We’re not against the idea of working hard and becoming rich for it. We’re against the idea of becoming rich by exploiting the literal lives of those you step on. And that seems to be almost the exclusive way to become rich in this country. It’s sickening.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

I don’t care if you make money. I don’t care if you make a lot of money. I care when you pull out all the stops in order to make ALL OF THE MONEY, FOREVER, without any regard for what you destroy, or who you hurt or even kill in order to get it.

Brian Thompson built his fortune off the pain, suffering, and deaths of others, and the world is a slightly better place without him.

I wouldn’t either, because far too much is at stake, but anyone who takes our polling at face value is a fool.

I’m not worried about who’s going to win, I’m worried about the ratfuckery that is going to happen to try to swing the result.

As parents, my husband and I have sole responsibility to decide how and when our children learn about the Bible and religious teachings

I’m actually surprised this is the first time I’ve heard this argument, because there’s a lot of parents who don’t necessarily object to teaching the Bible in school, but are concerned that the way it’s being taught in school differs from how it’s taught at home. A Catholic would naturally have a problem with Protestant teachings in school, not to mention all of the different Protestant denominations.

I think, ultimately, that denominational infighting is what’s going to sink this.

Shadowrun (the arena shooter) probably would’ve been better received if it were named basically anything else.

Both things can be true.
