  • Noted, thanks

  • You are 100% correct, negative news has a greater impact on people than positive: https://assets.csom.umn.edu/assets/71516.pdf

    Media sites know this, and use it to drive engagement:

    And so, negative headlines are getting worse: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0276367

    So it's important to try and stay positive:

  • ...Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! Now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block, and replace the piston rings you fried.

  • Absolutely fucking not. Me and my wife can't think of many things we'd want less, tbh.

  • What did Scar do for us?

  • I kinda get the impression they bite, a lot.

  • Odd question, but how much of it (and the newer games) are fully voiced? That was the main thing that turned me off playing them was how much of the content was just reading popup boxes of text.

  • Severance is amazing. Highly recommend.

  • OK, but what if you're still haunting the house, but a new person legally buys it and then invites the Vampire in? Who's preference takes precedent?

  • No, because you didn't grant it consent to enter prior to death.
