in order: purchasing on bandcamp, streaming or purchasing from qobuz, streaming from most other platforms (apple music, tidal, deezer, etc.), or pirating (if financially unable to afford other options) are all valid alternatives to supporting the spotify corporation.

Anyway: If this year has taught you anything, I hope it's that white supremacy is fake as hell, fails without support, and requires extensive enforcement and blatant acts of favoritism and exclusion to survive.

All-white/white supremacist spaces, political, social, and professional, are a choice.

It's not horror, but og Nier to me is honestly the gold standard for incentivizing evil. Even after seeing that everything Nier does is harmful to the world, players are inclined to keep cranking thru endings out of a sense they can maybe help Kaine (which they also explicitly do not accomplish)

yeah the thing about complicity as mechanical horror is i think it only *really* lands if you, as a player, have a real incentive to do the bad thing. like... otherwise, i'm just gonna help. complicity emerges because of incentives, and most interactive systems trying to model it don't have those.
