Biggest takeaway from del Toro's Frankenstein (after the goth scenery chewing) was Oscar Issac (from certain lighting angles and poses) looked like Rowan Atkinson from Blackadder.

There's weapon in Doctor Who lore called "the De-mat gun." It's such an extreme weapon that it vaporizes itself upon use.
When fired, the target is not only killed, they are removed from time itself.
That's what being on the bad end of a JCO tweet has to feel like.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I see people throwing themselves in front of armored feds on the streets. People pushing to get close to Broadview ICE to stop the evil horrors inside & out. Regular people are throwing themselves into the path of danger daily & their reward is to have their health care taken away by rich cowards

Game design (especially narrative) is a constant conversation with the player. That extends to wisely deployed dialogue choices, which can be used to build the world, forward the plot, and reveal more about the characters.
