A stew of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds is raining down into the city right now. 1/2

This is an atrocity.

Boss Mary transformation from the OG Silent Hill 2. I manually created each frame with keyframe animation to build this effect back then.

and it is a good (often great) Battlefield game. Still nothing else quite like Rush.

I've been singing its praises for a while, but Banquet For Fools is a must-play for anyone who loved Morrowind for its strange, swampy setting.

Classic old-school CRPG but with messy, physics'y real-time-with-pause combat. Vagrant Story meets Dragon's Dogma.

I am a living, quantum, sentient being on the third planet of Sol, and we change our clocks twice a year.

seeing some “Highlander is trash” out there.
