The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt.

Son of a bitch, I've been playing a hardcore Gyfte run on and off for two weeks and I must have missed something, because I just found out about the blood bank.

Yeah, it isn't mentioned anywhere obvious, only that one of the skills states that you get two more packs from the Blood Bank (Intimidating Aura).

New challenge path kicks rear end. For me, a regular bottle of tequila is size-9 epic, making it a near-perfect nightcap. I've got more than +40 extra rollover adventures from equipment.

Man, Redditors are bad at poetry.

If any of you players of this dead comedy game are funny, or at least know what a rhyme is, go post in the Reddit thread and I'll probably give you some good stuff, cuz like, there are only two or three that are even decent. Oof.

I've finished grinding all the necessary Fun for the PirateRealm rewards (a terrible slog), so I'm going to try ascending again into this Two Crazy Random Summer path, which seems kind of interesting. Also, a new PVP season has started, which brings us back to the Manual of Numberology again, which will be pretty cool once you grind out the necessary fun.

I dumped a few valuables in the clan stash a while back when I quit again. Dunno if anyone found them, but FYI they might be there.

I've listened to hundreds of episodes of VGHD and from my outside opinion Zack has been doing a lot of emotional growth even just in the last five years.

But I can understand feeling uncomfortable supporting someone who has done these kind of deeds in the past.

Curious to see if this ever comes up on the podcast.

He was 29 when they started dating, so like 45 now? It's fine and good that people can ""grow"" even though they could be grandparents, but that's not very.. mitigating?

I swear I remember Kevin also using that exact phrase some other time, in some other context. Weird. Eerie.

I wish I could say this shocks me more than it does. I've been listening to Zack's podcasts for probably 10 years -- my username comes from one of them -- and even just in the way he presents himself on air, he was definitely a much more aggressive and unpleasant person back then. I was a teenager, and not the nicest person myself, so I didn't think too much of it at the time. Thankfully, I grew out of it before I did anything like that.

He can never undo what he did, and failed to do, but if he's genuinely remorseful, he can still use his position and resources to make the world a better place in other ways. I hope he makes the right choice.

I've kind of always had the feeling that Jick was something of an rear end in a top hat (never having actually met him), and that was just cemented by the way Mr. Skullhead's departure was handled.

Given that, I'm not surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised.

That being said, I'm glad Jick replied the way he did.

Man now I feel dirty for ever giving them money. I never did like the circlejerky nature of the dev clique but drat, that's way worse than I ever imagined. Some seriously gross poo poo.

Also shout out to whoever doubled the price on Mr. A's in order to speculate on sexual abuse. Keepin' it classy.

I mean, Mr Skullhead is also a massive creep, let's be real here.

Unfortunately we are past the statute of limitations.

There was definitely, from what I've heard, a culture of too much alcohol and too much horny and not enough boundaries at the big meetups. I never was at any of them.

I will say i'm glad that like 90% of the community has come out in support of her.

I can't imagine the game surviving in the long term when giving them cash puts money directly in abusers' pockets. Unless it gets sold (never) it's gonna be known as that game that's run by a rape apologist domestic abuser. There's no way any new players are gonna jump on that bandwagon.

I'm guessing they'll probably just offer a half-assed apology and limp along on the support of the few people who don't care?

I doubt most of the playerbase knows, despite certain people's misguided efforts to "get the word out" in chat. Jick is probably laying low in hopes it'll blow over, and unless it hits kotaku or something, it just might.

I was at a few of them back in the day, and you’re not wrong. Being one of many college-age men I was presumably never in anyone’s crosshairs, but I also wasn’t really aware of the danger to others at the time. Privilege at work, I guess.

The weird thing is that Skullhead was the outgoing creeper-seeming one, but from what others have told me he’s an alright guy (unless I’ve missed some posts on the subject).

I played very actively and leaderboarded a few times, but quit around 2012 due to increasing ascension length and IotM power creep. I didn’t think I’d be reading this thread again, but here we are. This news is both surprising and upsetting, and I hope the community holds Jick accountable for what he did.

welp hearing about this terrible news reminded me of a game I hadnt played in over a decade, I'm laid up this week, and it might not be around for long-

lord knows I've enjoyed several books, movies, and video games made by garbage men and I guess it comes down to not giving their poo poo-for-brains abusive actions the power to ruin a thing that's meaningful for me?

deffo not throwing any money at it, did apply to clan as "Linguini Borden" if anyone's still paying attention to that kind of thing
