I’ve raised four potential murderers is not a phrase I’d considered typing before today but here we are

I heard he also listened to rock and roll.

the decay of legacy media is wild

policegazette.bsky.social•80 days ago

"Clickbait" has always been around in the news business. Used to be just the more sensational, tabloidy publications. You could choose between news entertainment or the more stuffy, serious outlets. Now all the "serious" news outlets are doing it. Their credibility drops daily. Not good for society.

JFC. Can't wait for them to try to link him to AOC and Ilhan Omar now.

Aren't the other games where your character is an assassin, with a gun, and a mission?

Like, almost every single video game?

fordesponja.bsky.social•81 days ago

This is an age of coming moment for a lot of gen alpha people, discovering first hand how legacy media is run by morons who want to manipulate you for corporate interests / generational incomprehension.

I've read the article, and all I have to say is: my fellow millenials, don't be the kind of stupid asshole that holds a Guilty Gear ad poster with edgy wording and say idiotic things about the thing you don't know about and the youth like. We've been there, rolling our eyes to the back of our heads.

I have so little tolerance for millennials that hate on gen z. How long were we told we were ruining everything? Now we’re just going to to the same thing to others?

fordesponja.bsky.social•80 days ago

It's a tale as old as time. In fact, I think there were roman texts doing the "the youth is lost, they don't follow good values of old" shtick.

daveanthony.bsky.social•81 days ago

I said it was the most dangerous game in decades and you all laughed

There are drug mods in minecraft, just sayin

mirrorman.bsky.social•80 days ago

Mainstream media is full of absolute senseless imbiciles. Not even remotely connected to the real world. JFC.

being alive rn is so fucking stupid

petrarca.bsky.social•80 days ago

I have this t-shirt, I need 7 of them.

ronoc.bsky.social•80 days ago

Like calling Clue a game about assassins.

indorfin.bsky.social•80 days ago

I refuse to believe that this was written by a human person who was alive for 2020.

It sounds too stupid to be true and yet…

Dear MSM,

tubbles.bsky.social•80 days ago

What would these reporters think of the time I played The Sims and would habitually create a family, make a small one room house where every tile except for one was covered in rugs, and then launched fireworks indoors where it landed on the empty tile and then instantly spread flames everywhere?

Will they arrest me for when I took the ladder out of the pool

drewbotprime.bsky.social•80 days ago

The game glitched and made my child's portrait upside down so I put him in the pool and took the ladders out. My characters had a new kid and upside down ghost boy haunted the family.

Guess that means I'm on a list now.

"The alleged murderer played a game in which an assassin murders dozens of men in suits while traveling on elevators in an attempt to escape from the top floor of what is clearly a corporate office building"
