Death and taxes game (review and spoiler) 

Death and taxes might be the only game that I remember feeling like vomiting after I finished it.

You play as a reaper, and decide who will die based on instruction given to you by your boss. And based on your decision, you can either destroy or save the world.

Now, why is it so bad? Because after I finished the game, I realized, that:
The developers had a clear immage in their head who deserves to die in order to save the world.

THINK ABOUT IT!!! They outright have decided before you ever turned on that game, who's death would be justified, and who's death must not happen.

And that If I wanted to get the good ending, I MUST agree with their philosophy.

That is..... just inhumane.

I Was told to watch porn several times at work.

That doesn't make it ok to post here. -_-

I know he has to ask because it's his job, and assumptions could lead to problems, but bruh....

@kerosene @picandor
Seriously, I don't get it.
I heard my ex coworker say, that they didn't pay him one month becuase of some bullshit rule.

And he was still working there... WHY????

@dave
Well, one of them is in jail, so while Keffals is doing his best, he just Chriss still has an advantage... for now.

@kerosene @picandor
Yeah, there was no way I would work a job, that I hate. But whenever I tell that to people, they look at me like I'm crazy.

I remember telling people to quit their job, and everyone around screaming at me, how it's not possible. It took me a while to realize, that I really am the exception to the rule :D

Well, it is SLOWLY starting to get pushed, but we're at about 5 percent power.

We still don't have legalized gay marriges. (Well, they can live together, but it isn't the same legal entity.)

@14wontons91 @picandor
Well, We have imported a shitton of Ukraians recently, but they are still slavs.

That movie does not suck.
The big gaslight at the end does not invalidate the movie, it frames it in current societal norms.

It is like all the youtube videos where people commit crimes followed by "It's just a prank bruh. It's just a prank."

The point of the movie was to point to the things wrong in the society. It even managed to point to the root cause. (destruction of family)

It just could not do it without the "It's just a prank bro" reframe at the end. Because that would cross the line. And noone is prepared to hear the truth outside of that frame.
