Remember a few years ago when a teenager took an interstate trip to play cop and threaten black people with a gun?
And then he ended up killing some people and cried a lot in the trial ("I'm the victim" tears, not "I regret murdering those guys" tears)
And he became a conservative star.

I assume there's some in universe reason why they can't / don't keep copies of the teleportation data, otherwise everyone would be effectively indestructible

At the end of the day video games are just toys, play them as you like and if you're not enjoying it just do something else instead. After I realized that games are fun again.
This ghost achievement in particular is a very hard challenge run, the kind of thing you go for after you finished the game and want more with an extra twist, trying to force it on your first time playing is guaranteed to be frustrating
I will never stop being mad that "literally" got a new dictionary definition that's literally not literally
Only OK if you also jerk off onto the pizza
No, he didn't "let people die".
He actively contributed to those deaths.
Right wing media spent the entire pandemic fighting against distancing, masks, vaccines, against science. And pretending horse dewormer was a miracle solution for everything. But it turns out reality isn't a political opinion, and millions of people died because of those lies.
When humanity was fighting against covid, Republicans were fighting on the virus' side
