  • I know a few cops too.

    The problem with ‘good cop’ logic is that after a while it becomes a distinction without a difference because of what you just described. Eventually the system grinds them down and they either quit or accept it for what it is.

    So maybe the more accurate sentiment would be “cops either quit with their principles intact or fall in line because the system doesn’t allow ‘good cops’ to stay that way” but it’s a little bit clunkier than the shorthand.




  • It’s certainly the best RPG ever written and one of the coolest RPG systems of all time, easily my favorite and it’s not particularly close. I think the point about it not being fun is extremely subjective.

    It’s not a AAA blockbuster with action-driven gameplay but there’s more than enough entertainment and intrigue to get you through multiple replays in my experience.


  • Considering it crashed multiple digital storefronts the minute it launched, had hundreds of thousands of players on Steam within an hour, and had been one of the most hyped game launches in years I think it’s safe to say this wasn’t a huge factor. Not that it doesn’t help.

    And the $20 price tag is in the same boat, I know plenty of people (myself included) who would’ve paid double without hesitation considering the good will Team Cherry has earned from their first game.

    Maybe a bit mundane but I think the reason the game is an enormous success is because it’s a sequel to one of the best games of the last decade. That and the developers were able to pour their passion into it instead of having to force it out before it was finished with a bunch of predatory monetization garbage.



  • I actually knew what my name was going to be more than a decade before I transitioned. The first time I had ever heard it I sort of latched onto it, somehow I never met anyone else with the name (it’s not a particularly uncommon name) but it always stuck with me.

    So when I started thinking about socially transitioning it was sort of a no-brainer, it felt like my “real” name had been there waiting for me all along. I know that must sound trite and cliche and not at all helpful but it was a really affirming moment in the process for me.
