Yup, refund email from Steam. Was expecting that Friday but they're wasting no time, feels like they're burying the thing as fast as possible and washing their hands of it. Absurd shit.

Might actually need to take an extended break from the site and social media for a bit for my mental health, the amount of toxic shit I keep seeing and reading is just rough. It's not even specific to this game at this point necessarily, I just think this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me.

I can't take reading "woke" anymore. I can't fucking handle people wishing for rank and file artists to lose their jobs because a video game character has purple hair. I can't handle seeing people whine about pronouns. I am literally becoming a worse person every time I have to read shit like that because my mind goes to dark, angry places that are just unhealthy to exist in for too long.

We'll see what happens but just in case I do decide to step away for a bit, it's been nice to see a subset of this community fight back against this kind of shit and try to make sure it's never normalized or excused. Some people on this website have seemingly made peace with the state of discourse being like this but I can't. I never will. I just can't tolerate the shit anymore. Major kudos to everyone here who's fighting the good fights out there.

It's fascism.
