Maybe so, but the last time this happened, it took both World Wars and the Great Depression to pull us out of the Gilded Age.

It's gonna get reeeeeeeeal fuckin' dicey over the next 30 years or so.

These people had no problem actively facilitating a genoside; what's a little fascism on top of that?

Even now, just listening to Merrill's accent makes me melt. She was the best part of DA2.

Hammy usually just means over-acting. Sometimes, going all out, chewing the scenery, and reeeeealy leaning in to your character is inappropriate. But sometimes, when the moment is right...magic happens.

Maybe it's horny, but this picture of Malenia, Goddess of Rot is now my phone background.

Instead of buying a TV, look for a digital signage display. It's a TV, but with none of the "smart" crap on it.

Alternatively, just don't hook your device up to the internet.

It's kinda eerie how similar the reaction was between Thompson's killing and Shinzo Abe's. When it came out that Abe's assassin was motivated by Abe's ties to the Unification Church, there were a lot of people on Reddit who were like, "Oh, that makes sense. Perfectly understandable."

What's more, the LDP immediately cut ties with UC and threatened to expel any members who wouldn't follow suit. And if that wasn't enough, the Diet even passed a pair of bills meant to restrict the activities of religious organizations like the UC and provide relief to their victims.

Anybody who says that violence isn't the answer should ask Tetsuya Yamagami about how effective it can be when the rest of your alternatives are exhausted.

Money talks, but wealth whispers.

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.

Graffiti is a spectrum: on one hand, you get beautiful murals that add something to the structure, making it more than what it was.

On the other hand, you get dicks and swastikas.

Tattoos are the same way. There's a difference between someone having a beautiful sleeve done and someone who has TRUMP tattooed on their forehead.
