I loved Papers, Please. Cannot wait to get home and try this out.

On top of everything else, the felony murder laws are horribly abused in this country often, like this, as a tactic to bully people into plea deals.

He’s like L Ron Hubbard, but with less lofty goals.

That sounds low to me. I demand a recount.

Book 4 has no shit something like 80 pages describing how each character broke his or her individual fast, and how a certain late-middle-aged man was too hot in the summer.

It could be much worse than you suspect. He may have about 500 pages worth of sumptuous banquets, elaborate silken brocades, repeated character tics, travel scenes, and florid equivocation, all sprouting adjectives like one of those mushroom farms that comes in a box, without even a single plot point worth mentioning.…

Somewhere (in Portland, probably) there’s a machine that spits dudes like those guys out by the dozens. We must find this machine, lest we be flooded with inane conversations about small batch bourbon and banjo / mustache wax.

Why didn’t the moron peel off his company logo before he even went to the dealer. If you ask me it was his responsibility no matter what the salesman said

:0 I didn’t know that about his daughter. There has to be some German word for that level or irony tinged with sadness tinged with wtf.
