Hell yeah, it's like something out of SCORN

The most liberating thing I ever did in computer role-playing games was during a playthrough of Neverwinter I said that I would choose the dialogue or action that I would realistically do no matter what the game says about the consequences or the karmic effects.

This is resulted in more than one NPC going "how the hell did you see straight through our con"

Corrupt idiots in politics -- "I'm sorry I got caught"

Shame the international petroleum conglomerates, plastic producers, shipping, etc. You know, the actual emitters in the billions of gigatons.

Marketing team did an excellent job choosing a name for the company. You want the most discreet, unassuming name possible for "corporation that owns literally everything and is ruining the economy by principle"

"Daddy, could you pass the salt?"

My hand touches the salt shaker, so does her father's.

sigh Okay scientist, you can look at my dragon dick

... For science

"Wait, what's the mould for?"

I have been told by my elf lawyer/party wizard that I'm not legally obligated to answer this question
