Doesn’t help that I can’t resist roguelite games and that’s currently a popular genre, so there’s an endless supply of demos showing up. Super Fantasy Kingdom, Clover Pit, Ball x Pit, Raccoin, Skull Hoard, etc… so many recently played demos that I’m now forced to wait for, so sad. I’m thankful that releasing demos has become more popular again in recent years, or at least it feels that way to me, maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention before
Emphasis mine.
I find this quote rather sad. The emphasized part strikes me as treating Trump as a king figure, given that she’s presumably referring to the related executive order. Despite everything that’s been happening in the US lately, that still feels really gross to see/hear, especially from a woman at a university. I’m aware that pro-Trump people have a tendency to be bizarrely pro, especially in places like Texas, but I still associate universities as being at least a bit more sane (I don’t know anything about this university in particular though). The article mentioned another student who said the confrontation felt performative, but even if she was playing it up, it still feels sad.
