Preview: Zero Parades: For Dead Spies ZA/UM's next Disco Elysium I got a chance to play an early demo of Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, the upcoming RPG from developer ZA/UM

I've spent five hours with the first preview for Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, ZA/UM's second game after Disco Elysium. A lot will be written about in the coming years. None of it will be boring. This is a rich and intoxicating game in the making. #gaming regionfree.net/zero-parades...

A humidifier on the sink in front of a bathroom mirror. The combination of small "on" and "full" lights above a wide curved vent make a pleasant smiling face and on the back of the humidifier, which can be seen in the mirror, another wide curved air vent and the two screws holding it together above it make a horrified face.

There are countless actual human beings right now being denied personhood, and you're publishing articles wondering if the world's most expensive game of mad libs knows what it means to dream.

SHUTEN ORDER on Steam &quot;168 remaining until the end of the world...&quot; Humanity is approaching its end. A sudden dismemberment murder of the leader of a religious nation that advocates an apocalyptic ideology... Fiv...

Mannnn.... I just finished Shuten Order - store.steampowered.com/app/3216500/...

It's a little rough around the edges, but damn, what a good story!

If you like your Ace Attorney / Zero Escape / Danganronpa like games, I highly recommend you give it a go!

The young people will:
- Recognize Heavy from TF2
- Recognize Max from Furaffinity
- Learn about Homestar Runner dot Com
- Wonder what's so special about this fourth guy who is just every person they've ever blocked on social media

Good god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'.

And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.

CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?

DR: No, notβ€” listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.

C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?

DR: Now look

Okay wow. We're SO CLOSE to 100 reviews. When we get 100, the algorithm sits up and PROPERLY takes notice of us, which will make a *world* of difference.

The strongest way right now to support Size Five is to grab a copy and drop a review asap. Your help means everything to me, thank you ❀️

Save 25% on Earth Must Die on Steam These moronic Terranoids think they can just roll in here and take over my beautiful Tyrythian kingdom? The kingdom that I built from the ground up with my bare hands, and only sort of inherited from ...

You can’t tell me we have a functioning economic system when the richest man in human history is one of the most profoundly stupid people in human history

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start:

If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.

Even if I discounted every other shitty thing they've done, Labour's treatment of trans people alone is enough for me to want to see them destroyed so they never come close to power again. What sort of people demand that organisations be bigoted towards a 6 year old? They're just utter rancid scum.
