Let's get specific about these numbers. Here's an item from my library that doesn't make me look like too much of a maniac: 85 hours of playtime in Manor Lords, a promising game that's still in early access.

I took the liberty of looking up the paperwork for Decarlos Brown's robbery plea. There's just nothing here to support the idea that he got a sweetheart deal. Nobody used their discretion to let this guy out.
