Why does a demon need a moustache?

The first game I played that really wanted to talk about racism and it decided to spend it's time saying is "black people can be bad too". I didn't think much of it then and I don't now.

Ha. They have some of the most hackneyed dialogue of any Sony AAA game by a sizable margin. Well written they are not.

More fuck you fascists than world, but I'll allow it

Defensive much? I find myself being very suspicious of this opposing narrative. I'm not up to speed on this these days, but I remember Keza MacDonald being generally outstanding in her ~~betrayal~~ portrayal of events in video games culture.

There are other countries in the world that have elections apart from the US. More of them than ever before in one year are having them in 2024.

I also like the phrase "rot economy", though it does reach a little wider

The Boltzmann brain

The Boltzmann brain thought experiment suggests that it might be more likely for a single brain to spontaneously form in a void, complete with a memory of having existed in our universe, rather than for the entire universe to come about in the manner cosmologists think it actually did.

It's highly likely, but the getting there is definitely worth it. The game is half the story though. It feels like it stops in the middle, albeit after a significant enough plot point to give you some satisfaction. The game is incredible though and I'd definitely take that version over nothing at all.

I know right? It's incredible they weren't collecting it already.

Or is Dune about the folly of different types of dictatorship; sadistic, benevolent, religious or machiavellian? Taking only the first book (because that's as far as I've read) every leader is thwarted or confined by the consequences or weakness of their own style of leadership.
