“I never use the N word unless I’m very angry.”

This option would be a groundbreaking addition to games defined by narrative and exploration, but whose difficult gameplay can often alienate players who are less experienced or disabled.

Asmongold, Mizkif, and xQc kept specifically targeting my fandom by name and wiping all of our pixel arts out of existence.

I’m not white. My parents and grandparents lived through the horrors of the Việt Nam war. They’re refugees who narrowly escaped the total annihilation of a nation that literally no longer exists today.
