Problem Machine

Also, as has been pointed out by others on Twitter, Valve has already drawn this line by deciding not to carry sexually explicit games. That Hatred gets a pass while those still get held back says a lot about our culture.

I wrote up some miscellaneous thoughts about the game.

Ahahahaha I particularly like 'authorian' as a dimwitted conflation between the people who make and criticize art and the people who oppress and censor. If that's not just GG in a nutshell

I gave him a couple of tries today and I'm kind of thinking, like... no? I don't think I'm prepared to sink an hour of work into a run that can easily be lost by a tiny mistake. I guess that's kind of like Spelunky, but the kinds of threats that cost you runs tend to be rather more slow-moving and/or predictable in that one.

It basically makes him monstrous on any floor with an arcade or health beggar

Wow Krampus's Head got kinda fucked. That seems a bit overkill. And, honestly, I'm pretty sure Dark Bum is still going to be top-tier. Anything that takes something useless, as red hearts are on ~30-40% of runs, and makes it useful, is guaranteed to be a great item.

Plus the CIA has been tied up in shit like this for as long as there has been a CIA, hasn't it? Isn't this unconscionable bullshit pretty much the reason it exists?

Frankly I'm uncertain if there's any justification for the existence of the CIA at this point.

nvm

Sounds like a good person to disappoint

So close to an epiphany!There's some truth to that, but yeah that's primarily a case of there not being enough representation generally so each portrayal bears an oversized burden of representation. A really good discussion on this in regard to Amos & Andy got linked from a recent cast's discussion page:http://www.avclub.com/article/iamos-n-andy-iwas-the-rare-representation-of-black-101275

man you shouldn't do that you know i can't be trusted with secrets

He must have been thinking about pork chops when he died

Posthumous DDOS. Which is also my rap name. or would be, if I could rap.

Money = Power is an incredible item, since you nearly always end up with a bunch of money near the end and no way to spend it. Well, a bit less the case when you're just going for Mom kills, but still an excellent item, especially when arcades are so very very exploitable.

Apparently S16E10, "There's Something About Marrying". It was a big thing coming out for marriage equality I guess... except for it basically dives right fucking into the whole deceptive cross-dresser trope, and has the person in question being physically hit in a moment we're seemingly supposed to applaud. It made me uncomfortable at the time I saw it for reasons I'm much better equipped to articulate now that I'm more familiar with trans issues.

Has anyone mentioned yet the super-fucking-transphobic lesbian wedding ep? That struck me as a particularly low point.

Parasite + Rubber Cement + Spoon Bender = GLORIOUS

I knew there was a reason I saved Carly

Ahaha I'm sure the complaints will start rolling in aaaaany minute now

Just had my first Ending 16 run, another hilariously OP run brought to you by Azazel. How OP? Well, the ending 16 boss didn't hit me once, and if he had I had the wafer... and I think I glitched him out, because about 5 seconds into the fight the post-boss music started playing since I was killing him too quickly. ... kind of anticlimactic.

I love how the icon for that is them blocking out someone who's already trying to ignore them. If that doesn't say it all... Also, high fives! I'm on the list too!
