I remember her talking about how there were a couple of separate audio tracks that were supposed to layer over each other and change depending on the choices you made. Letting people know that audio was a more integral component of this game compared to other twine stuff seems like a pretty reasonable thing to post!

The people in power at the time thought all those things were trivial bullshit.
A stupid counterargument. They most certainly did not in the case of blacks in the south. It was an organized system where the people in power were spending a lot of effort to keep blacks "in their place".

And what matters in the long run is whether society as a whole (or at least majority) agrees that something is not trivial bullshit. Few social movements ever worked by changing the minds of the entrenched power, they changed everyone else's minds and got the former replaced.

I had the first one. If I remember, it had puzzles you had to solve, coins you could collect, and maybe even power-ups? It was a bit more of a video game than Depression Quest.

IT WOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT MEIN FUHRER!

I was about to describe Depression Quest as being a single dialog tree in New Vegas where your character doesn't have high enough skills to pass any of the checks but then I realized that would be too much of a compliment.

I remember this now, but didn't realize the kid was ten. Did these guys really think that threatening to stab and physically injure a ten-year-old equals progress?

I hear a lot like "if you oppose somebody who calls themselves a warrior for social justice or a crusader, consider what you're actually opposing". Well, it's that.

It's that poo poo right there.

he's actually 13, not 10. i learned this because they started harassing him again this week for saying things like "it's mean to cheat on your boyfriend and lie about it" and he said things back to them like "well of course i live with my parents, i'm 13. also, living with my parents still does not make it untrue that it's mean to cheat on your boyrfriend."
