Cozy games aren't really my thing, and I don't generally have much quarrel with them either, but a game where you play a "wholesome" TSA agent going through people's luggage is some truly dystopian shit, like BRAZIL-level satire except they don't mean it satirically

This one hits a lot of the same notes about cozy games that I have about cozy literature.

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too.

can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator

a wholesome plane has hit the second cozy tower

It isn't a very good mall but it is the closest mall to the hotel we normally stay at when visiting Montreal.

If you train a bunch of guys to believe they are the most vicious fuckers around it's not too surprising they start identifying with the most vicious fuckers. Also the United States is a white supremacist state and is the reason why denazification stalled out in Europe.

i don't know how to explain to people that the reason it's common for marines to do this stuff is because it's common for marines to like nazis

I'm definitely not crying from watching the video in this post, the intro, and Vajra's acceptance speech. Nope! Not crying.

Y'all still discoursing about the latest Milkshake Duck? That's cool. American politics is always completely depressing. Find someone else (literally anybody) to primary against Skeletor or whoever it is he was running against.
