Surprise is on you, dickhead. I wore my derby hat and overly clunky boots today.
Without a doubt.
The only thing that truly bumps up against ethics is if you don't state that you received a promotional copy. If you want to follow stricter guidelines, that is PR, not ethics.
Businesses include the cost of their promo copies in their advertising or PR budget.
This whole thread is NPI doing PR.
There is no industry-wide blanket policy for the selling of review copies of games. That's a fact. Unless a publisher specifically states it, it isn't against any policies.
So it is a personal opinion whether the practice is unethical.
I saw Foetus twice in the 90s, one time backed by Swans members.
The second show, he walked in the front door of the small venue an hour before the show and I made the mistake of staring at him. He caught me and stared back until I was forced to look at the floor.
Weird little guy.
In a world full of Curlies and Moes...

Screenshot of a post on X by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@R…) stating: “NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all—no criminal convictions and no pending criminal charges.” Below the text is a line chart titled “Detention Population, Among Those Arrested in the Interior, by Criminal Record, May 2019 through January 7, 2026.” The chart shows three lines—prior convictions, pending criminal charges, and no criminal record—with a sharp rise near the end in the “no criminal record” category. The source is listed as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
It’s not about keeping us safe from criminals. This is ethnic cleansing.
January 9, 2026 THE HONORABLE TIM WALZ Governor of Minesota 130 State Capitol 75 Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Bivd. St. Paul, MN 55155 THE HONORABLE JACOB FREY Mayor of the City of Minneapolis City Hail 350S. Fifth St., Room 330 Minneapolis, MN 55415 Dear Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, It is my responsibility as Secretary of Agriculture to ensure sound stewardship of taxpayer dollars by climinating fraud, waste and abuse in all programs funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The widespread and systemic fraud associated with federal benefit programs in the State of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis demonstrate an inability to handle federal resources without additional oversight and accountability measures in place. During your tenures as Governor of Minnesota and Mayor of Minneapolis, numerous non-profits and businesses have defrauded the federal government in what a federal prosecutor in Minnesota called "a staggering, industrial-scale fraud".! Most notably, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit— Feeding Our Future defrauded U.S. taxpayers of nearly $250 million in federal funds given to them by the Minnesota Department of Education.? This fraud scheme involved USDA funding provided to the State of Minnesota to feed hungry children under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). As of late November, 78 defendants had been charged in what the Department of Justice characterized as the largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country? Other recent examples of'alleged fraud in Minnesota include exploitation of the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program", a scheme to defraud the Housing Stabilization 1-Whut te know about Minnesoca' "industrial-scale fraad" scandal, as more charges are fled and Trump weighs in, "CES Nows (Dic. 19, 3025) available at ht:/www.cbsnews.com/news/atas-do-know-alonesota-frawf-candal were-changes-fled- tump-water. /Federal Jury Finds Feeding Our Future Masternind and Co-D…
Services Program", and alleged fraud in daycare centers*, Your Administrations have refused additional accountability and oversight, claiming that criticism of rampant fraud and abuse is "racist." While the full extent of fraud in Minnesota is not yet known, it is clear that, under your leadership- or lack thereof fraudsters can take advantage of federal funds and the American taxpayer with impunity. This necessitates federal action to protect taxpayer dollars until adequate safeguards can be established. Despite a staggering, wide-reaching fraud scandal, your Administrations refuse to provide basic information or take common sense mcasures to stop fraud. In fact, rather than conlin your SNAP rolls are accurate to prevent continuing fraud, you asked the courts to block USDA's directive to recertify the State's SNAP recipients. Recent news reports also emerged that the Minnesota Department of Human Services repeatedly reported incorrect information about SNAP to the federal government.? The Trump administration refuses to allow such fraud to continuc. Therefore, because of your failed Icadership and abysmal financial management oversight, 1 am notifying you that, effective immediately, I am suspending payments on all active awards and any future awards from USDA to the State of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis, currently totaling over $129.18 million. Within 30 days, you shall provide USDA with payment justifications for all federal dollar expenditures from January 20, 2025, to the present. Going forward, all transactions on awards to the State of Minnesota or the City of Minneapolis will require such payment justification. If those payment justifications are not received, awards will remain suspended. While your Administrations have turned a blind eye to documented fraud, the Trump Administration has made clear that fraud, waste, and abuse are unacceptable. The American people deserve to know that their taxpayer dollars are helping those in need-not criminals. …
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.
Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
His name was corrected. It's Jonathan E. Ross.
Fuck. Yes.
Not everyone in Texas is an idiot fascist, and we fight hard against them.
The video of the ICE asshole killing a citizen is the new The Dress.
NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning.
“SAY HER NAME!”
“RENEE GOOD!”
They did this while the victim’s wife sat on the stoop of the man where the vehicle crashed, screaming and distraught feet away from where they watched her wife bleed out. They pulled weapons on the doctor and threatened him. There is video.
Fight fire with fire, my man.
