the important philosophical question that Astrobot asks is "what if a game was really really fun?" And the answer to that is it would rule.

There’s no point during the detention of a five-year-old that any person with a functioning moral center would not step back to reassess the situation and their place in it. That nobody involved did proves they lack the common interiority required to successfully coexist in ordered society.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

I love that it's a game about loss! It's a game about things not turning out the way you wanted and then having to go on living anyway! It's a game that spends a lot of time on grief, which I love! And then I actually have to fight some guys and that sucks
