What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

This is absolutely the thing that's stopping more people from coming over here. When I pitched everyone on migrating yesterday, this was the #1 concern. Sorry but it is crazy for this website to not have group chats in 2025 lol

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

Ultimately everything always boils down to "I am upset not by violence but by this specific kind of person experiencing violence, which is supposed to happen to a different sort of person for whom the violence against them is something I am desensitized to"

A woman says "it's weird how 9/11 became a national holiday." Another woman, with horror on her face says "Oh No! That means..." We cut away to see Jack Skellington from Nightmare before christmas approach a door in a tree shaped like the twin towers. He emerges from an airplane bathroom in front of shocked passengers and says "what's this?" We see the plane about to crash in to the towers. Jack once again says "what's this?"
