I checked out a game in my backlog yesterday: Quartet.
It's a turn-based RPG that feels straight out of a SNES Final Fantasy, with a killer soundtrack and SUCH good writing. I'm just getting started, but I'm struck by the storytelling in Wallside. 🧵

Imagine kidnapping people off the street in broad daylight and thinking you're the "good guys". People who are at work, at their kids' school or otherwise minding their business. Imagine shooting people with rubber bullets because they want it to stop and thinking you're the "good guys". 🤔😑

I was writing something up but I don't think I will anymore. Janet puts a lot of it into words and how she feels about LA is how I feel about TX, and regardless if you're in a blue or red state no document will make us white.
Stop feeling guilty and do something about it.
