Never finished Metroid, but I imagine Samus whips his dick out at the end of the game
There's a slight paradox here because the PS5 / PS5 Pro will sell out (The Pro is already out of stock in most places) despite the price, and it'll be because of GTA VI But the supply issues caused by AI driven memory shortages / ongoing geopolitical issues will mean they sell less than last year

Capitalist simps have 2 tu quoque retorts when you criticize capitalism. If you’re rich, you’re a hypocrite. If you’re poor, you’re jealous
Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!

Comparing the USSR to the Third Reich is an attempt at moral equalizing that downplays the Holocaust and supports fascism
BREAKING GTA VI LEAK! Your character can lay awake at night feeling an aching emptiness. Wondering if torn open would reality render their insides in gory 4k. Would shiny specular maps cover the crude quads of their intestines or would their makers reveal their true uncaring nature with a null void?
Whenever you watch a breadtuber and they start quoting a psychologist you just know it’s gonna be some eugenicist freak

We could have had an FMV of Einstein assembling a briefcase sniper rifle and blowing Hitler’s head clean off, but the coward Brett Sperry didn’t want that Executives are always fucking up art

If anything the kids are too in control. I’ve only ever had one group of kids play a prank on me and it was just verbal. They giggled, knocked on the door and asked if their friend Molly was there. So tame. Not one of them tried to eat my liver.
Every time someone talks about how it's a problem that games draw from other games for inspiration, I roll my eyes because that whole line of thought only works if you think games are inferior media. Nobody sensible would suggest literature not draw from other literature or cinema from other cinema.
If ever there was evidence that the U.S. is a failing state, we have a billion dollar school shooter industry
