Beset by alien invaders, humanity’s only hope for survival is a special squad of incredibly attractive men and women with the ability to harness sentient weapons known as Legions.

Two people apparently went to the hospital, one with a broken leg. So less “no way” and more “someone actually got hurt”. Remember that trucks have a lot of mass, which translates to more force.

Hitting someone with your car intentionally is assault with a deadly weapon in all fifty states, IIRC. Heck, just threatening someone with your car is legally assault with a deadly weapon in some. Intent is the key between when hitting a pedestrian is assault or not. And since this is pretty clearly intentional, not…

Hmm. I see:

I never did this one, but I used to lay a napkin, one layer only, over the top of the salt and pepper shakers after taking off the lid, then pour salt or pepper (whichever wasn’t in the container) into the depression. Screw on the lid, tear off the excess paper, and the next time someone goes to put salt on their food…

Collective responsibility, huh? Cool, cool. Totally nothing wrong with that.  I look forward to suffering like I “deserve” because of where I live and not what I do or believe.

On thinking about it, since he’s a former prison guard he may have gotten the EMR certification because it was required for his job or came with a pay increase rather than an actual concern for other people’s lives.

You might try online retailers.

I think I might have hurt my replays by choosing Golden Deer first. I recruited all the characters and I love them all, but Claude is still the best and I really don’t want to do a playthrough without him, let alone actually fight him.

The guy appears to be a former EMT. I really don’t want to know how one goes from someone who works to save lives to someone who is perfectly willing to end them for being a minor inconvenience to him.

Granted, we’re starting to get into subjective territory, but any story is art. It’s a creative work intended to be appreciated in a non-utilitarian way. Even games with excuse plots are art. They may not be terribly deep art, but they are art and do have messages and themes.

That’s not a counterpoint? If you don’t want to examine the themes or politics in games, no one is forcing you to. You can read a book for fun and not dissect it. The themes and messages are there, but it’s your choice to engage with them or not, agree with them or not, or read critiques of them or not. Politics are…

Wow, don’t wrench anything setting up that massive strawman. No one said that games or art “have to be” political.

I don’t think so. I understand there are other aspects to the whole hunting process that don’t involve the actual kill. I’m not against camping, bonding with friends outdoors, hell, if you want to “track” an animal because that’s fun, go for it (as long as you don’t kill it, of course... but then it wouldn’t really…

I think the real problem is that they haven’t been recognized as art really.

Oof, I didn’t think of that, but it is similar reasoning. “You’re here and wouldn’t exist if unspeakable atrocities weren’t committed against your ancestors!”

It amazes me how hard people fought for games to be recognized as art, only for many of those same people to blow a gasket when people start critiquing them like art.

I never said there’s nothing else about the hunting process that isn’t enjoyable.

It’s an anti-abortion defense. You see, you wouldn’t exist right now if some distant ancestor of yours was raped and had access to abortion! Therefore, for the sake of hypothetical people who do not exist, you cannot have exemptions for rape and incest.

In this case, however, he’s using this myth to imply that abortion exceptions for incest and rape are wrong. Because that would... depopulate the human race? Make it so some hypothetical future person maybe wouldn’t be born?
