Me: Sees thumbnail for indie game trailer Me: Watches Trailer Me: Sees rapid montage of gameplay Me: Okay but what is the game about, what's the story? Trailer: 2 seconds of rapid fire intertitles that make no sense sparsely mixed in with the game play Me: *slowest shrug in the universe*

Doing some research Can anyone recommend a good Horror/Survival-Horror FPS that isn't: FEAR, Trepang, Stalker, Resident Evil, Crisol, Alien Isolation, Townfall or anything big. No joke suggestions either. I've played Geist.

They are also one of the big players pushing for age verification. The goal is to turn the internet into a casino and prey off people forever. Why did draft kings ads start appearing after discord started their shit. Its coordinated addiction strategies after lootboxes were regulated and cs skins

This RS writer will finally be vindicated when it's reached true apotheosis & is enshrined on a pharmacy muzak system playing for the 86th time that day while some Karen complains that the toothpaste she bought was too warm and the employees plot a violent insurrection.

Was looking at the Silent Hill Townfall concept art and my jaw dropped. Was back in my hometown tonight so I had to go and take a photo. There are many ways to mock my beloved Coatbridge, but “your home’s so miserable it was used as concept art for a Silent Hill game” is a new one for me

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

She has beautiful dark eyes and Farrah Fawcett feathering on her ears. Libby is a smooth hair blonde dachshund. She’s got big ears and is squinting at something out of frame.

My birthday is Weds. I'll be celebrating it entirely alone cause I'm disabled. This is also the anniversary of some pretty significant trauma in my life, so I ain't doing too good. If you would be so kind as to share my article, and, if possible, tip to help me with medical debt, I'd be grateful.

I've heard from family members about how some c-suites literally would have astrologers on call to help them make decisions. They literally know so little about what they're doing they call fortune tellers. And this is why I've never been surprised how easily they buy into AI or get AI psychosic
