It's like every company that wasn't complete playing the social good will game and didn't appear at a casual glance to be shit just suddenly decided to...go to complete shit. masks off, because they saw it might finally be acceptable to be ghouls again.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I FTFY. Wish it weren't so, but that's definitely what it looks like....

    The mask of humanity fall[s] from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone -- everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed.

    They are just taking the mask off since they don't have to wear it right now.

    Game is such a fucking gem. I gotta do a replay soon.

    They are just taking the mask off since they don't have to wear it right now.

    Cuts into profit margins pretending to not be a threat to the continued existence of the species and ecosystem as a whole. Gotta buy that 15th mega-yacht.

    Something something, I'll bring the BBQ sauce.
