You'll love this one: Depression Quest.
Not a joke.
"Depression Quest is a 2013 interactive fiction game dealing with the subject of depression. It was developed by Zoë Quinn using the Twine engine, with writing by Quinn and Patrick Lindsey, and music by Isaac Schankler. It was first released for the web on February 14, 2013, and for Steam on August 11, 2014. The game tells the story of a person suffering from depression and their attempts to deal with their condition. It was created to foster a greater understanding of depression."
Oh, and it was text-only.
I cannot understand why it wasn't a chart-topper.

Zoë? That is so ******* pretentious. The umlaut, the two dots over the e, simply means that an e follows that letter. Her name is therefore Zoee. What a fucktard.

The anti-pedophile significance of Kendrick Lamar's halftime show

I couldn't understand a word he said (the audio mixing seemed pretty bad), but good on him for calling out the pedos on America's biggest stage, be it a rapper, a country singer, a mime, or whatever other entertainer they stick up there.
Yes
And yes.
I had heard a long time ago that this song was about calling out a few people who were in the same circles as Sean Combs about pedophilia. I didn't know the guy's name who performed it but I recognized the sound of the song during the show. My TV currently has subtitles enabled so when I saw the word pedophile I took closer notice.
By other accounts, Kendrick Lamar is known to be a good, positive, Christian guy who is fighting to make his way in an industry full of evil people. So I can applaud him for that even though his performance is not appealing to me. Saying what he said probably puts a target on him from some of the rich and powerful.

How did we get so far away from this?
