I think there used to be a stigma on leaking unreleased games because of the increased chance of drawing a corporations litigious attention. But I also think there has been a shift recently in public perception of these corporations leading to a more aggressive fuck you attitude and apathy regarding repercussions. Which I’m all for. I hope corporations like WB/discovery, EA, and Ubisoft never see a profit from a video game again.

Long Way to a Small Angry Planet is an incredible book by her. Highly recommend.

Wow. My grandmother was a rivet girl in California. She put the rivets in the wing sections of the P38s* and was always proud of that fact.

Edit: P82 to P38

We listen to both kinds of music! Country AND western!

After reading the books, all I want is an open world Metro rpg. Let me play as an unseen observer sent by University station to spy on the rest of the metro’s factions. Let me bet on rat races at Paveletskaya. Let me play as a defender at Sevastopolskaya mowing down hordes of monstrosities. Let me be stalked by Great Worm Cultists near Park Pobedy. Let me compete in the annual stalker race around the ring stations. There are so many factions and independent stations that are never even mentioned in the games let alone visited. I feel like an open world game like that is the only way to do the books justice.

Can this still be considered masturbatory if you involve 70k other people? Extreme Exhibition maybe?
