Maybe not... but at least I've grown a fucking spine!

I also want to add that this game made my jaw drop more than - and in many more original ways than - many other games have tried before.

YOU MUST PLAY THIS GAME NOW.

No movies. No books. No other games. Just #1000xresist.

@sunsetvisitor.studio made one of the most touching and best written narratives in a game of ALL TIME, and it's one of the most original ones as well. I picked this up last year and dropped every other piece of media I was enjoying at the time just so I could finish it.

I am not ashamed to say that I cried while playing this game. More than once.

This was an absolutely unmissable experience that everyone else seems to have missed. Don't.

Buy this NOW. Play this NOW.

But that's only on the surface. The greater narrative explores the consequences of a forced Asian diaspora, a civil revolution and generational trauma and betrayal.

Everyone except for one person, who is cloned at first to study her immunity and then eventually to help perpetuate the survival of the human race.

Here's the concept in a nutshell, without any spoilers: It's the future. An alien race has arrived on Earth and for some unknown reason everyone on Earth dies.

It got nominated for a HUGO, man. A HUGO AWARD. And a Nebula!!! It's a damned good game. Get it. Play it.

In 2023, Substack is reported to have made about $23M in subscriptions *paid*. But remember: they keep 10%. So they probably made about $2.3M. That means they have about 5 years to increase their revenues by.... a thousand-fold. I'm pretty sure no media business has ever done so.

If your awareness of resistance tactics is limited only to the extremes of the spectrum: voting, petitions, and peaceful marching on one end; armed revolution on the other — you may be feeling frozen in this moment.

Take the time to learn about direct action tactics in the middle of the spectrum.

Agreed. Thankfully, I think the Japanese audio was original.

No! That's terrible! 💔😭

My first experience with this was when Evangelion came to Netflix for the first time. I was enjoying seeing it again after so long... and then the credits came on. They had removed the iconic cover of "Fly Me to the Moon" and replaced it with wholly forgettable instrumental music. It was jarring.

The hashtags are sending me. 😂 And this reminds me of Justin, from The Secret of NIMH!
