Or GOG. I guess. If you don't care about CDPR's track record of employing neo-Nazis

Pay for it and *download it immediately* if you want it, yeah?

(And hope that the devs ever manage to extract their money from itch)

This is not a new realisation! One survives

Sorry, you want me to believe that there's a Correct Batman? Like. Which one exactly? Oh, all of them, you know. Simultaneously. All Batmans Are Real, *provided* DC would charge you admission for them

consists of people who have and *actively* want nothing beyond the aesthetic taste and media literacy of an undiscerning preteen

who *also* desperately, insecurely want to be treated as serious adults with deep opinions, so they just insist that being a perpetual tasteless child *is* deep, Actually
