Deus Ex and The Treachery of Labels
Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
I'm not surprised a fighting game has an absurd story. I just can't figure out why they bothered with the story at all.
If the GM actually observed the players, and wanted to run a game (as opposed to narrating the movie in his head) this would be a good way to introduce a McGuffin.
It’s nice that the players are at least attempting a bit of roleplaying here after throwing this major wrench in the DM’s plans.
Is it role-playing? Ok, feels like in DnD /ADnD where the rogue got additional XP for the work of the treasures they could pick up. I hated that rule…
And it seems like all characters have secretly being multiclass Thieves.
Oi! Seems like next week page is missing again.
