honestly this whole office type thing is getting really fishy to me bc i searched the company that’s developing it on google and the only things that popped up are their twitter, facebook, and tag on tumblr. like it’s rlly weird that they don’t have a website or anything after they’ve been developing the game for a few months now?
not to mention they’re doing their fundraising for the game through paypal and they have ‘tiers’ like you would for a kickstarter and that’s just.. really suspicious to me especially because they’re super early in development. i don’t trust it
can y'all reblog this tho because i don’t want people giving their money to this when it’s suspicious as hell
Worth noting that they don’t have an address either! The only point of contact listed on their pages is their email, and twitter/tumblr/facebook handle, none of which actually have a named contact (it’s just the company name). There’s no available press material, no business address, no… portfolio material or anything to suggest they’re actually a legit company putting out original material? I mean, as far as I’m concerned, I’m sort of imagining them as like a group of people meeting up in someone’s living room to build this game on Ren’Py or whatever. I don’t think they’re acting in bad faith, but like, this whole thing seems far less legit than most people talking about it seem to think.
I also find it particularly sketch that their justification for making their black characters Angry Scary SJW caricatures is “we’ve worked with these communities” (yikes) when literally the only location info they list is “Chicago.” Like, this city is incredibly segregated and large and living in Chicago doesn’t automatically mean you live somewhere racially diverse. Watch them turn out to be based out of like, Lincoln Park or Andersonville….
can someone give some context as to what company it is?
So at work someone just brought up the Tide Pod thing as proof that kids these days are dumb and I pointed out the fact that the fad in the 1920′s was to swallow whole live goldfish (look it up, my grandparents told me about it years ago, it was a Thing.)
And of course some kids choked to death on live goldfish.
He didn’t believe me until he looked it up on his phone. And then he was just quiet for a minute and said “Ok maybe people have just always done dumb shit” and the glow of victory is going to carry me until lunch.
I admire the patience. I’d get really salty or silent
The look of dawning realization when they figure out that it just turns out that humans are dipshits, have always been dipshits, and will likely always be dipshits is Great I highly recommend using this bit of history to point this out to people.
People used to drink mercury, thinking it stopped aging.
I mean, they were right, but still.
Fuck that, people used to drink radium and shit on the premise that “radioactivity does stuff and that’s good right”.
“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying ‘End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH’, the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.” ― Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time
In thirty thousand notes this is the best comment thank you.
Simply put: Every generation has done the most stupidest things.
us millennial planked on top of mcdonalds signs and jumped across buildings yelling parkour. Gen y played chicken with moving cars and bloody knuckles. baby boomers would stuff themself in phonebooths and risk suffocation.
