I had a poster on my bedroom wall that showed eggs in a pan with, "This is your brain on drugs", and then eggs on a plate with "This is your brain with toast and a side of bacon."

I drew a comic strip.
a comic strip. The first panel shows a goblin in a long coat approaching a guard. The second panel has the goblin saying "we're just normal men!". The third panel has the guard replying "what do you mean normal men?". The fourth panel shows both the goblin in the coat and the guard. The coat is beginning to open to show many goblins within. The guard looks suspicious and a goblin emerging from the coat is saying "We're just innocent men!"

That's not to say "You kids have it easy" or anything. This was right before people started speaking out about crunch, and the studio got a lot better about it in the following years. I haven't crunched at all since about 2011, so what the Doom team dealt with was super excessive for the modern day.

Back in 2004, I worked on a project that did at least 7 months of what we called "Death March" crunch. 6 days a week (sometimes 7), 10-14 hours a day. I had to beg for a day off to see my partner because it had been weeks since we shared a meal. The next project at that studio did that for a year.

Screenshot of tweet by Eminem. Text of Eminem's post reads: 

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it.  Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

Miranda, now in period dress and powdered wig raps "call that procedure, the theatre to follow the leader" while doing a hip-hop hand motion. Onlookers marvel and say "my God! he's rewritten Robert's rules of order as a 10 hour Hip-Hop Odyssey." A bunch of right wing people are awe struck. A man comments "all the MAGA hillbillies are enchanted by his wordplay and dense rhyme schemes." Another man chimes in "look! they're having tearful mea culpas about the true nature of freedom."
