Its such a trope there are literal lists of fictional evil corporations
So much pop-culture has been anti-corporate/authoritarian media: Blade Runner, Total Recall, The Running Man, The Terminator Series, System Shock, the Alien Franchise, Starship Troopers, Deus Ex, Resident Evil, Cyberpunk, "Network"
Why is everyone surprised that corporations are evil?

And now on to Silent Hill 3 and 4. Have played and beaten the original SH trilogy several times throughout the years. But never played through SH4. Gonna give it a try.
And going to finish getting through Stasis Bone Totem. Excellent cyberpunk-lovecraftian-corporate-dystopia-horror.

Been a few years - But the original Silent Hill for PS1 still holds up for me. Emotional, brooding, atmospheric, dark and even funny at times (the ending blooper reel). Still got a bit teary when Lisa realizes what she is and transforms. Now on to SH2~

Finished Ursula K Le Guin's "The Left Hand of Darkness" yesterday. A world where people can swap gender, where assassination is par for the course but not war. A tale of hard-won friendship and betrayal; of fierce love of country but no loyalty to government. Made me emotional. 📚💙

Chest-o-flintlocks is the way to go 👌And it has the advantage of forcing the user to learn how to quick-draw!
The other options for getting off multiple shots off from a flintlock look dangerous and unreliable - plus, can you imagine the kickback on a multi-barrel hand-cannon?

For a book about how human consciousness is a mistake, and we would be better off not existing, there have certainly been some chuckle-moments. An interesting companion piece so far to Terence McKenna's "Food of the Gods"

Also listening to Steven Weber's amazing narration Stephen King's "It". Damn! He kills it. But that's what you get when a talented actor reads a book. A unique voice for every character and passion in the descriptive parts of the narrative.

Listening to George Guidall narrate Ursula K Le Guin's "The Left Hand of Darkness". He has such a captivating style! His inflection and pacing are intriguing during the main narrative, and then he seamlessly integrates character voices. A Joy to listen to.
