It's like if tactics games were also lightly puzzly, and it's got the best realtime resolution system I've ever seen, also the main character's run cycle just makes me giggle every time I notice it

ya know, sometimes I see someone advocating for the maddening position of "just ignore what is happening in favour of what you want to believe is happening" and I check that person's bio, and I never expected to see someone explaining that they are a child vaping consultant

Real hard to make an evil twin pun name out of that. Sam Fourth Reich, maybe?

This is resoundingly not true. It's endemic to a tiny slice of people with disproportionate amounts of influence, but normal people, by a thunderous majority, support trans rights, and the idea that you can even *have* a leftist party that isn't pro-trans is deeply unserious.

Vietnam has a chain of coffee stores called Cong Ca Phe that 1. sell incredible coconut coffee for cheap and 2. are themed around the Viet Cong, including the staff uniform and photos of heroes on the walls

It's called "The American Invasion" over there, they're still baffled as to why it happened

Santa is a WORKER dammit, the north pole is a co-op with Santa and the elves in a joint ownership agreement that was brokered after the ousting of Krampus, Cringle, and the other owners

This is entirely unrelated to the war on Christmas

You cater to bigots, you're catering to people who neither appreciate nor pay for art. You get precisely one moderate sales bump, and then you're stuck with them and the negative goodwill they produce. Look at the other sellouts and how much they have to beg and plead after that first hit.

Once that part, the part they give the least fucks about, has been sprayed with slop, there will *inevitably* be a new part they now give the least fucks about.

And then they spray the dogshit onto fruit just a little bit higher, until the whole damn tree is drenched.
