How did I never notice the Utah Teapot in this scene?

Wait, this app cost $20 to install before it asks for a monthly subscription to unlock the full functionality? Yikes.

War against who? Do we have the perpetrator? Do we know their political affiliation? The Trump shooter was a registered Republican. Are they waging war against their own party?

Obviously they don’t need evidence to be horrifically violent shit stains, they’ve managed that well enough so far.

I can see the train of thought that these dunderheads would have. “We arrested you because we thought you were the shooter. You weren’t, and because we arrested you, we let the real shooter get away. This is your fault.”

“We are against genocide”

‘I can’t believe you hate Israel, you antisemite!’

This feels like a rather large self-report.

This is somehow worse than I imagined. This looks like the sort of coded calling card a serial killer who dismembers women would leave at the scene of his crimes.

Can I enquire how 15,000,000 copies sold was down to luck? They released a solid game with fun gameplay, great music, and an eye-catching art style. They priced the game competitively, even considering international pricing. All of this seems like choices that were made with intention, not the roll of a dice.

You could perhaps argue that there was luck in people seeing the games initial campaign on kickstarter, but I don’t think you can excuse the rest as ‘luck’.

I love the devs previous game, Another Crab’s Treasure, for its tough but fair gameplay, and really well implemented progression. I was a little disappointed to discover that Peak leans more into the multiplayer, emergent gameplay, “eternal beta” feel of many indie games today. The concept seems fun, and it can apparently be played solo, but all of the gameplay footage I have seen from non-devs is people screaming frantically at each other about some new feature while nothing happens.

I might be a hypocrite though, because I am interested in the upcoming game Big Walk from House House.

If ‘///‘ stands for “bigotry”, then yeah I’m sure not calling people out on their shitty views will make them go away…
