Man it kinda fuckin annoys me when i see posts discussing Luigi Mangione's trial and bringing up being sexy first over how suspicious it is that he apparently had all the evidence related to the crime on him several days after the crime happened, or how his facial structure is nothing like the on-tape shooter, the untrusworthyness of the NYPD, etc.

like guys we really do not want to be seen as a repeat of this guy, thirsting over him over anything else.

For those uninitiated this is Ethan Couch, who was charged with 4 counts of intoxication manslaughter and 2 counts of intoxication assault. During his trial, many users on tik tok raved on about letting him go free because he was too pretty to go to jail, and once he got put on 10 years probation he violated it and got sent to jail for 25.

I know the difference is in the fact that Luigi is generally recognized a great person and most likely a scapegoat of a serious change in our legal and health environment, not a dumb teen taking drugs and drinking before driving; but it really ticks me off that we're letting ourselves forget the importance of this trial and what it will mean for us just because he's hot.

Not attacking posts that just say he's hot btw, go off fr; just those that mention him being hot at the same or lower point than the suspicious circumstances of his arrest, for example.

[thiefof-trefl]

So I haven't seen anyone compare the (alleged) UHC Shooter to Rodion Rascolnikov, and maybe I'm delusional but that's all I can think about every time new info is released.

Ok so it started when I saw this post

And told my friend "wouldn't it be funny if he saw the og post and it was the last straw? Like when Rascolnikov went to that bar in the beginning of the book and heard other people complaining about that usurer?"

Then I started really thinking about it and maybe I'm doing too much and they're not that similar but this is Tumblr, hear me out:

1. They're hot. Seems silly but being attractive can really change how public views you. Characters in the book often acknowledge Rodion's good looks while being very open and revealing in conversations with him. And sure Tumblr would probably be thirsting after "the Adjuster" even if he weren't conventionally attractive, but the overall public perception of him was greatly positive and I believe it is also due to the halo effect.

2. Personal feelings covered by ideology. I'm not saying the shooting was purely selfish. It had a great impact on the industry and was something many thank him for. But from what we know Mr Luigi had a major back surgery and suffered from back pain. It is very possible his own experience with the healthcare and Insurance industry was what first pushed him to see it as a problem. Rascolnikov struggled financially and kept on borrowing from the usurer leaving every valuable thing in his possession as pledge. His resentment towards her and his own circumstances was converted into an ideology about people superior and people lesser, which validated his decision to murder her.

3. Masterplan and stupid decisions. It's easy to see how brilliant the execution of the assassination was. The place, the timing, the escape. He even managed to leave New York during the manhunt. But there were missteps along the way. Going to Starbucks, flirting with the hostess, reusing the fake id, wearing the same clothes. Dumb little things that could be written off to both stress and arrogance. Reminds me of silly mistakes Rascolnikov did after murder. Dropping a jewellery box on the way out, keeping the bloodied sock, coming back to the murder scene. But that's where I also see a big difference. While Rodion was overcome with paranoia and fear, I suspect (just an educated guess, I don't know him personally) that our Shooter might have felt too... Proud of himself? The assassination succeeded, he escaped the police, left the state and the public at large loves him! I know it would make me feel invincible.

4. Game of cat and mouse. This one's not as big, just a small similarity. They both mock the police. Rascolnikov during in person conversations and the Adjuster by leaving the backpack full of monopoly money. Hilarious in both cases.

And finally

5. Letting the police catch them. It's just a theory, not really backed up by anything other than conjectures, but I can see why it might be true. Rodion Rascolnikov tired of constant paranoia and guilt driving him crazy goes to the police and confesses to murder. The alleged UHC CEO Shooter Luigi Mangione was arrested after being recognised by a McDonald's customer. He was wearing the exact same get up as during the shooting. And though he used a fake id at first he then admitted his real name. One might think he gave up. It's disappointing but I can't blame him if that was his decision. Living on the run is exhausting. In just two days he had already left so many traces and clues. And he killed a rich guy at that, which we all know is not the same as killing a normal person. The family and police would spare no resources to find him and it would go on for a long time. Years of fear and hiding- that's no life. Right now we can only hope the evidence will be found insufficient and he won't get convinced.

So yeah, had to get it out of my head. Sorry for any mistakes and words used in a wrong way, translating long thoughts into English isn as easy as I thought.

Please, please, please let me know what you think, does it make sense or am I crazy?

[woman-respecter]

rip your inbox but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for having normal takes about the assassin I am going insane seeing some of my most beloved mutuals reblogging 200k note tweets thirsting after a rich right-wing tech bro with a gun. I lost followers (on a 2 note post lmao) trying to point out the hypocrisy of simping for this guy while being a prison abolitionist ‘everyone deserves rights uwu’ type person at the same time. Lowkey giving Colombine shooters thirst blog vibes except this time it’s ‘acceptable’ I said what I said. Anyway thank you for being a voice of reason, hope you’re having a good day.

you’re very welcome anon, and so right

[literallys-illiteracy]

New Trailer thoughts and notes:

Oh wow im so gay:

Mommy? sorry. Mommy? sorry. Mommy? sorry. Mommy?

I dont even like Rodion, in fact i still dislike her but... Uh. wow?

Theres not too much to note here, im the EGO person not the ID analysis person (at least for now :3), but for the skills.

Skill 1 appears to be 2 coins piercing. Skill 2 appears to be 3 coins, likely Piercing. Skill 3 appears to be 4 coins, almost certainly Piercing as well. Unlike the other 2 La Mancha Land ID's we've received so far, she seems to have a skill 4 rather than an empowered skill 3, being Dulci's Finale attack, which appears to be 4 coins of AOE piercing.

Finally, she appears to mark the return of playable clashable counters, hopefully we get an unbreakable coin counter, but thats just being a bit too hopeful.

also this ID has the most fanservice of any in the entire history of the game, and of COURSE it needs to be on a character that i dislike just so i cant thirst as hard over her.

Fell Bullet Yi Sang:

First i want to note some things about the art within this EGO's art; most notably is the shattered glass effect and presence of the fluchshutz itself in the background, while it does appear in Heathcliff's fell bullet ID, with its back facing heathcliff's, instead it appears in the centremost shard, with its barrel facing Yi Sang's head.

This note is furthered by the awakening line making mention of "The gun barrel on *My* viscera", rather than another's as in the fluchshutze's story.

The second divergence from Heathcliff's art is the lack of the fluchshutze's traits, having not the halfed face covering that heathcliff had, nor the reddened scarf. This is notable for the main reason that, in the awakening animation of heathcliff's, his face was entirely obscured with said mask of the shooter — These differences in appearance could be due to a number of reasons, even as an arbitrary choice, but it is likely due to resonance with the EGO itself, Heathcliff's being much stronger and thus taking on more traits of the abnormality.

The third divergence and one i will return to later, is the lack of a pendant. If you look at the shooter's art, at Heathcliff's fell bullet art as well, there is a clear pendant visible around their neck, the last remnants of their loved past. Keep note of that i suppose.

Now onto the awakening skill, something interesting to note is the fact that it seems to hit an ally as well as multiple enemies, shooting through heathcliff's Heart'(?), (its not a visible enough detail to note for sure, but i am assuming that this is intended), just in the same way that the devil's final bullet peirced the heart of the freischutz. Also, I think that PM still don't really know how guns work, because, just like the Thumb's "Muskets" that is a rifle. Im not particularly into guns but im 90% sure so.

If we're counting friendly fire, then it seems to have an attack weight of 7, with the latter coin (as he fires twice) seeming to only hit 2, the ally and one of the enemies targeted by the first.

The Corrosion is interesting, the sprite making Yi Sang take the form of a mirror, likely the form of the pendant itself (although there are like 4 mirrors in the sprite so take with that what you will). Contrast this with Heathcliff's corrosion sprite, being that of the heart, for that same reason that Heathcliff seems to be the one used as a friendly fire target in the awakening, for the devil wishes for despair, and to eventually claim their heart.

The corrosion appears to have one coin, and about 6-7 attack weight, once again counting Heathcliff, who remains in the very centre of the ironsights, (Or scope rather, as the gun is changed in the corrosion to include one, despite the art of the Fluchshutz' depicting the ironsights.

The screen that flashes before the shot is "IFF system - Level 3: Deactivated". From what i've found, an IFF system is "Identification Friend or Foe" which should be pretty self evident to its relation here.

Ill make a longer/separate post discussing the WHY of Yi Sang getting this EGO, and any other tangents along the way, but from what it seems, this is likely going to be a Pride or Gloom skill (if i were to guess), and have 2 coins on awakening. It seems to be the first awakening since SOUPCLAIR to be indiscriminate.

gamer!ellie headcanons

I’d like to imagine that gamer!ellie is also streamer!ellie because why not make a living doing something you love

Would 100% introduce her gf to her viewers on stream, probably playing a game together and letting it slip mid way that they where actually dating

Definitely googles her own name on any social media sight and sends any funny/thirst trap posts to you, her gf

loves and i mean loves seeing edits of her girlfriend (and those cheesy couple edits)

i feel like everyone thinks that ellie would bang out shooter games but personally i can see ellie sitting there for hours playing sims or stardew

when ellie’s streaming, she loves when you make an appearance. whether it’s coming in her gaming room and simply giving her water or dragging in a chair from the kitchen to sit and watch her game (her viewers also adores it)

i can imagine ellie doing a drunk stream with you and it’s on this stream where editors get their spicy content.

you and ellie basically grinding on each other to non copyright music. check.

ellie muttering cheeky comments towards you but forgetting how good her mic is (viewers absolutely swoon at her sweet talk)

comments like “the way they look at each other” and “i want love like them” or “i’m so jealous of them” being regular comments on posts and streams

[olderthannetfic]

I remember all the handwringing over Reylo, how it would teach young girls that abuse was okay, how it would lead them to accept being mistreated, how liking him was as bad as a girl who thirsts over school shooters, etc. And yet look! Society has yet to become pro-abuse and the fans of the pairing who identify as women have not been murdered by their romantic partners en masse.

But despite this open contempt for the pairing, people also convinced themselves the only reason you could ship Kylo/any guy was hatred of women and not, y'know, trying to avoid the obsessed haters who had devoted anti-Reylo blogs for 5+ years. Also it was totally unhealthy of you to ship Kylo with anyone, said people with a dedicated blog where they discussed their hatred of a fictional man for half a decade, and you should get therapy for your sickness.

My personal least favorite moment of the the new trilogy fandom's plague of antis was them attacking a friend of mine. See, if you don't ship Finnrey, you're an anti-black racist (unless you ship Finnpoe in which case you are of course a misogynist fetishizing Poe, a space Latine). No one told my friend this, so she very obliviously drew some Finnlo, and all hell broke lose. People said it was like shipping a slave with a Nazi, that it demonstrated the dehumanization of black men by fandom, that it was akin to zoophilia since Kylo owned Finn, etc. It hit a peak of ridiculousness when someone self-harmed and sent my friend video of them doing so to show her how 'wrong' it was to ship the two.

My friend responded by contacting the parents of the person who self-harmed. Cue antis saying she was an adult harassing a minor. You know, because if one person is putting cigarettes out on themselves to spite someone on the internet and another person is saying "that's concerning", the latter is in the wrong, obviously.

I'm not even in this fandom but I support Reylo and Finnlo out of sheer spite at this point because I hated the manipulation and massive freakouts from the Finnrey crowd so much.

Sometimes people are going to ship something that's not your OTP and that's okay. It's not worth burning your skin off for.

--

Kylo is ew, but supposed Finn fans who can't even see that Finn also had an interesting potential connection with Kylo in that first film are idiots.

The Internet's obsession with Idolization

With all of the sudden increase of Luigi and Luigi related things flooding my fyp, I feel obligated to remind the masses as they interact with the news regarding him. STOP IDOLIZING PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW. 

To preface, I'm not saying that “Idolization is Bad” or “You shouldn’t idolize someone who murdered someone”. I couldn’t care less about why you're idolizing someone. I personally believe that he ultimately did a good thing, I have zero qualms about what or why he did that, it's just that the internet is now projecting their different what or why’s onto someone they’ve never met, let alone know. 

Yet, we are seeing something similar happen to our dear CEO shooter, Luigi Mangione. To most of the internet, he’s hailed as this sort of martyr. A person who did something incredible because “he is pure of heart” — or “based” as the kids say. As mentioned before, this post is not to discredit what he did, nor to tell you that “violence is never the answer”. What I'm trying to say is that Luigi is a person, a real human being who exists outside of the context of the internet and the media, it just happens that this man acted upon actions that most of us agree with, But in the end he is still just another person, with values and opinions that differ from any of us. Should we praise this action? Of course we should. Brian Thompson was an asshole, and deserved what was coming to him, but does that mean the shooter should be compared to the likes of Jesus Christ or Superman? Likened to literal god-like beings who dedicated their entire lives to helping humanity? 

Honestly, it's insane how the internet has twisted this image of “A random guy who was the victim of the system and took proper recourse” into “The idealized vigilante who sacrificed himself for the greater good”. Like, we don't even know if Luigi is the right person or not and were treating his every word as gospel, obsessing over his tweets, and thirsting over his pictures. But, tbh, the media is doing nothing but propagating these stories of him every time he appears.

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but it feels like he’s too perfect of a victim. Maybe I'm just jaded from the constant coverage, but this guy killed a CEO and that was it. I'm not trying to say that this wasn’t a monumental undertaking, because it was, but what I'm trying to say is that everything seems too grand and fits together perfectly too well. We have this median political, very handsome, media called “terrorist”, who disappeared for months before the murder, who also wrote a manifesto, and “Deny, Defend, Depose” on 3 separate bullet cases of the bullets that he shot into the CEO, who also gets a million photographs from different angles every time he appears in the media, who also is paraded like a pariah from a helicopter with way too many officers and guardsman for one person, and it just happens that he appears the next day in a McDonald's and is promptly arrested. 

It's not like he blew up the government or firebombed a Walmart, yet we are treating him as such. Not just news outlets and the government, but everyone. He was not an activist, nor a major public figure. He was a very wealthy son of a very wealthy family; A nepo baby at best, who, one day, decided that “Yeah, I should kill one of the most hated men in America” because of healthcare issues. (He also, supposedly, said that the Unabomber was a ‘political revolutionary’???, who was also an Elon Musk fan????? The more I read the more I get confused, I swear). He did a single action out of Revenge? Or was it because of hatred of capitalism? Also, There’s no way you expect me to believe that a person, who the media claims to have “meticulously calculated every part of his plan to cause terror” would have gone into a McDonald's IN PERSON, instead of just ordering online. There’s something off about this, I don't know what, but this whole thing feels like a show put on and controlled by the media, and we are eating it up. 

I say all of this, not as defense for the CEO or Luigi Mangione himself, but as a way to get people to think about the action he did. I’ve already seen some articles about people who graffiti-ed “Deny, Defend, Depose” on wall, or others saying how someone threatened their CEO’s, but what I’ve mostly been seeing is people saying “This will cause a revolution”, and “The CEO’s are scared”, but these are just words without substance. A revolution isn’t just carried with our words but our actions. We can’t just sit by idly, waiting for another shooter to kill another CEO, because revolutions are its people, and if we rely on a person to do the revolution, then is it really a revolution, or is it just the ravings of a crazed person. If your response is: “oh but I have work/school”, or “I’m too busy” then you have no claim to be part of the “revolution”, as going against “the system” means to reject “the system”, and if your not willing to sacrifice some of the comfort “the system” gives you, then you are inherently benefiting the one who profit of your health; literally become ungovernable. 

This doesn’t mean, go out and kill a CEO. You shouldn’t, because rampant blood-lust only begets more blood-lust, and if we killed all the CEO’s, we would start moving goalposts as a way to kill more people [Source: The French Revolution], also because murder isn’t in the cards for most people. But you should do something, anything really. It doesn’t have to be a big public stunt, it could be small, but all it has to do is send a message. You could: Pop your bosses tires, graffiti a building, throw a brick through a window, pirate something from large studios, shoplift, etc. It just has to be an action that tells the CEO’s that you are done with the bullshit. You can even join a march against something, or write about your hatred for capitalism and spread your words on the street. Sitting on your ass all day, confined to your online echo-chamber, parroting “Oh believe me, the revolutions gonna happen” is the worst thing you can do, because you're not proving anything but the opinions of the ones who agree with you. 

Every revolution has had action, Segregation was battled with the rejection of bigoted systems like buses and segregated areas, and the fight for LGBTQ+ Rights are still being fought today, but it started with Stonewall Riots that helped form the modern LGBTQ+ Civil right movements to this day. These movements weren’t just one person doing one thing, but a group of like-minded people who wanted to see change, so instead of waiting for change, they went to make changes themselves. Yes, people were hurt, and people were arrested but if we sit and wait, who’s to stop the ones who actually want to hurt us.

Tl;Dr: Stop idolizing people and start idolizing their actions as an example of how we can changes our lives for the better (also lay of Just Stop Oil as they are 100x better than the people who shame them)

Columbine ft Skynd

A spark amongst the darkness, 

Lights up and motivates me, 

I understand what I want, 

I’m not special in this jock culture, 

Mistreatment every single day, 

Do I deserve it? I don’t think so,

Everyone is the same shitty human being, 

I imagine them all dead, 

And in order to feel alive, 

I’ll take violence as my personal path.

School? Battlefield, 

Two students? Ready for action, 

Their motive? Hatred

What they got? Thirst of fame, 

And their bags? Emotion.

Down, do you think I’m down?

When I point my gun at your head

You won’t think the same,

Down? Nobody is below anybody,

Making fun of me entertains you?

Not for long, I’ll teach you what fun is.

Ratatata-ratatata

I can imagine it

Ratatata-ratatata

I like what I see

Ratatata-ratatata

I wanna do it

Ratatata-ratatata

I enjoy grudges in motion.

I want to destroy you,

I want to dismember you,

I wanna see your blood stain around.

I want to explode you, 

Run, ‘cause I’m gonna hunt you,

I wanna see the horror on your face.

For the golden metal,

I’ll kill more,

I’ll be important,

Bombs, ammunitions and guns,

Of this game a mission,

11:14 AM, Columbine high school,

Ready, set, let’s get into action!

I kinda like you, so go away,

But you, mhhh, not that much, 

I choose my victims this way, 

Between life and dead,

I’m the one who chooses their end.

Down, everyone down,

As I walk I shoot them, 

Dead and hurt,

Falling everywhere, 

Down, everybody down,

I want you under my feet.

It’s relevance, 

Not revenge.

At the library I use my shotgun, 

And well, an easy instruction I say, 

“Athletes, get up”

“Up I said”

These retarded monkeys, 

Popular worthless shitheads, 

Don’t obey, 

So I shoot at the desks,

One lost his head,

Not a rhyme though,

Just ask the braindead.

They don’t wanna run, 

I don’t care, 

“Knock-knock”

You didn’t ask who’s there,

I drag a stupid away from the table, 

“I’m there” And put a bullet in her face,

Not surprising anyways.

I want to see your blood splatter the walls, 

To see you fly in pieces,

And watch as your bodies dance while receiving 

For multiple times the heat of my gun.

——————- Role exchange 

“Mom, I lost Stacy, I'm hiding in the restrooms”

I’m hearing gunshots, I try to be quiet,

But he gets into the room, 

I lift my feet from the floor,

I cover my mouth with my hands,

I try so he doesn’t notice me,

I’m trying not to cry,

I hug my schoolbag,

And take out my cellphone to write a message,

“I love you mom, I love you all”

He starts to walk, 

I’m breathing fast, I can hear my heartbeat, 

Coldly I sweat starts to fall, 

He kicks the door open,

I lose control, drowning,

I close my eyes, 

I hear he takes out the gun, 

I start to cry,

I try to grab the walls, 

Shaking my head “no”,

I’m gonna throw up.

I hear a gunshot.

Wait, what? The shooter killed himself right now!?

——————- Role exchange

Now, you all, listen, 

Pay attention to me,

Welcome to my world

Welcome to my life, 

Welcome to death, 

Have fun!

Now you all, listen to me, 

So, you like sport?

I present to you the game of death, 

You run, I aim, you die

And I score one more.

I explode the bombs, 

They throw themselves off the windows,

They try to block the doors, 

Adrenaline feeds from death,

My obsessive thoughts.

You thought I was kidding?

What am I doing this?

Oh, but it’s just a hobby, you know?

Fame and glory, 

Tell me why you deserve to live, 

I’ll discuss with my buddy whether you don’t.

People are ridiculous, 

I chase them,

And even without legs,

It’s like they want to run, 

While their blood drains off,

Thrilling energy fills me,

When I see how they crawl. 

Down.

Everybody to the floor.

Ready or not, there I go!

Ratatata-ratatata

To the rhythm of the bullets I’m marching,

Ratatata-ratatata

Prepare to die,

Ratatata-ratatata

I may want to use my knife on you,

Ratatata-ratatata

It’s so much fun.

What is a THIRST-person-shooter? | The Crush House - Developer Overview

[blasphemme]

just finished call of duty black ops. here are some (long, comma abusing, mostly tangentially related) thoughts after playing it for the first time for anyone who might read them!

altogether the campaign was fine, i guess.

as many others have in the past few years following the modern warfare remakes, my online activity has been inundated with thirst edits made of characters in call of duty — despite having never played the games myself. they’re not my thing.

my flatmate, however, has played them. he played them as a kid when they were being released, and he has had the misfortune of being on the receiving end of me watching these edits and reading fanfics (shout out early 351780!!). increasingly annoyed at my thirsting, he has forced me to play every call of duty campaign on the xbox 360.

i’ve found that i actually really enjoy playing cod. it’s enjoyable, action packed and, most importantly, quite compelling. they’re something i’d never have considered playing without him pushing me to play them. i’m more of an assassin’s creed/ace combat/nier girl and always have been. the closest i’d been to playing a shooter before this experience was playing gta, badly.

my flatmate knew my priorities. after an introduction to the premise with world at war — the first game in the black ops series, which i promise i will get to at some point — we played the original modern warfare campaigns first, because i am a wee bit in love with captain john price, and i loved them. the stories, while simple enough to follow (and already knowing about the main character deaths in advance — it’s a 10+ year old series, after all!), were emotionally evocative. i found myself becoming attached to the protagonists quickly and deeply, all the while having a whale of a time fucking around in the rest of the mission. this girl loves just walking onto grenades! between world at war and the modern warfare trilogy of campaigns, i was hooked from the start.

i realise now that i have been spoiled. those campaigns were just too good.

black ops’ campaign pales in comparison to the other four games i’ve played. i will admit that it is still fun — very fun! i enjoyed the feeling of progressing from one badass area to the next, with sam worthington’s horrific american accent and gary oldman’s alright russian accent pushing me through. i also have to admit that i still play like an absolute scrub, but the enjoyment i got from it outweighed the frustration. (mostly.)

black ops lacks the charm and depth i loved in world at war. while fun, every plot twist was spotted as soon as it was hinted to, much to my flatmate’s dismay. it took one guy telling mason to get a hold of himself for me to figure out the twist around reznov, and one recitation of the numbers on the way to the pentagon for me to figure out that mason would go on to kill kennedy. this, in particular, also felt like a bit of a cop-out — having this confirmed in a post-credits scene was disappointing, when i’d gone through the whole game and sat through an eminem song in the credits expecting a sequence where i’d be on the grassy knoll just to end up in a round of zombies. honk shoo.

modern warfare — modern warfare 2 in particular (kevin mckidd’s soap my beloved <3) — introduced new mechanics that’d be used once or twice in the whole game, most of which i enjoyed. the missions where you have to assist tf141 from an ac130 in the first game? stellar. absolutely unmatched. all ghillied up can go fuck itself on a gameplay front though, fuck you if you think i’m gonna figure out what the coriolis effect is. in black ops, the helicopter sequences felt like hate crimes against me personally. poorly designed flight controls and awful combat mechanics combined to make a literally unplayable pair of missions involving attacking other helicopters that i had to beg my flatmate to complete for me. embarrassing.

this game is utterly us army propaganda. the epic final shot in the campaign after killing dragovich — where suddenly 3 aircraft carriers are there waiting for you flying star spangled banners, and 8 fighter jets pass overhead — only resulted in making me cringe and laugh in disbelief, where in 2010 it would’ve made young men enlist. world at war at least has the balance of ‘war is cool and we’re the best’ in the pacific segments and ‘war sucks, actually,’ in the eastern front segments. modern warfare, too, falls face first into the latter, and that’s part of what i enjoyed about it.

even the little fun things weren’t as enjoyable. i didn’t have a favourite gun, or a favourite mission. the star cast choices were okay, but nothing to call home about. there wasn’t a ‘production babies’ segment in the credits, and they made me listen to eminem and pink. what the fuck?

altogether, black ops 1 has the worst campaign of the franchise i’ve played so far. next we’re onto black ops 2, which hopefully won’t come with a free personal statement like this one, and which i’ve been told is one of the best games ever made. we’ll see.

3/10
