was JUST explaining this - do NOT validate the premise, ever. That's the fucking game. When RFK says "these people will never pay taxes" the response isn't "yes they will" it's "who cares, that's a human being, I don’t give a fuck what you say, we do not create metrics for whether someone is human"

Sorry to hear your favorite show was taken off BuBu. Have you tried Deeby? I also heard Tubert has a package that includes Yazoo and BIG. But be careful because a lot of shows on Tubert end up going to Spindly after a few months. Anyways, looks like Deeby just shut down so forget I mentioned it.

Playing the Croc remaster and this boss HUD is the British 3D Platformer distilled: The ridiculous Amiga-game-sounding-ass name. The arbitrary slight angle. The font just being ripped from Yooka-Laylee. Everything about it screams that its creator cannot pronounce the letter H, and it is masterful.
