"As an aside I *love* the palette of S1/2, in hindsight it really fits that feeling of revisiting the pre-GWOT era again and how things in the West, but obviously especially the US have significantly declined since then - it ignites that nostalgic feeling."
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a response to the Vietnam War and Call of Duty and gritty reboots were a response to 9/11 and GWOT."

"Why not a KIA memorial for a local boy victim of GWOT? I mean that's pretty fucking good, it was his favorite park as a kid, played soccer there all the time."
