So funny how despite a lot of the individual writing choices in Distorted Travesty 1 aged very poorly, but the overall plot aged like fine fucking wine.
Oh the villain of the game, "The Artist", is a guy who wanted to cheaply create AI-generated games based off of stolen game assets? You don't say.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Multiple tester's controllers have had buttons (L1 button specifically) broken while playing the DT4 end-game content. I think the game is right on track to being amazing, then.

Spread this to people you know. It's important more authors make claims.
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

I don't do the semi-fake April 1st DT4 posts anymore partially because everyone knows that the game is actually real now, but that it also takes time away from dev time to do those, even if they're pretty low effort posts overall.
