Reminder that ☠️ is media preservation

Is Dmann going to have Ellie drop a thermobaric bomb on a refugee camp or something?

Everything they say about this game makes me want to play it less and less lol

Every day I learn about a new Twitch Guy I’ve never heard of before who is apparently the most popular man ever

Yeah except Doom Eternal wasn’t about a real guy who built a doomsday machine that killed 250,000 real people and gave entire communities of Hispanics and Native Americans endemic intergenerational cancer and chronic health problems.

I mean, you positively

My only point was treating supporting the Hong Kong protests as a necessary and sufficient condition for not being a right-winger is obviously incorrect.

If for no other reason you should take these "articles" down because they're about minor whose privacy has been blown out the window and whose parents are apparently nowhere in sight

Calling Bill Clinton a rabbi *is* the punchline to the audience the "joke" was intended for
