What do they use in the other cases? Fire hoses?

Scotts also cool and popular in the comic. He really doesn't have any of Ceras awkwardness

"Hunger is hunger, but the hunger gratified by cooked meat eaten with a knife and fork and also ketchup is a different hunger from that which bolts down raw meat with the aid of hand, nail and tooth, or some weird ass bullshit like applesauce"

Karl Marx (emphasis mine)

When asked about gangs Tupac once said, "What I want to know, though, is why all of a sudden is everybody acting like gangs are some new phenomenon in this country? Almost everyone in America is affiliated with some kind of gang. We got the FBI, the ATF, the police departments, the religious groups, the Democrats and the Republicans. Everybody's got their own little clique and they're all out there gangbanging in their own little way."

He didn't deny that any black person was in a violent gang, he said that they were no more likely to be in gangs than anyone else was. Likewise Marx wasn't going to try to tell an antisemite like Bauer that no Jew anywhere was greedy. He was saying that if they are its because we all live in a system that allows for and encourages people to be like that.

They cost a lot to make. Just like Marvel movies, AAA game studios have to infest so much capital that they're extremely risk adverse.

It reminds me an episode of the Deprogram where they ask Noah Samson what game development would look like in a socialist society and he says AAA style games probably wouldn't exist. I think he's right. I can't see games being some kind of national project and the only way I can see that sufficient people would all work together to produce a huge game would be something like Rimworld where the game is really just a framework that smaller teams all develop pieces for to express their own vision

Reading the necrocum article yesterday has fully convinced me that I'm choking on a respirator somewhere in 2020 and the last couple years are just the fevered dreams of my dying brain

The Kwizatz Haderach

You could capture it. Its just pointless because you have to offer them every possible way out of it. Once its checkmate you've already won. Most players concede once the game is unwinnable anyway

People make fun of Ben Garrison drawing Trump built like Clark Kent but Democrats do this kind of shit

I hate myself for this but... That's warhammer 40k, this guy said warhammer fantasy. Which is just d and d, which is just Tolkien. So still allegorical but no spess marines involved.

Healthcare doesn't hurt

Is that what the ribbons on the hat mean? That's even funnier lol
