If Sinners came out in the 90s there would be an SNES and Genesis game that would be made by totally different developers. The Genesis version youd play as Smoke and youād have a gun and in the SNES version you play as Preacherboy and you fight vampires with your guitar

I am having a difficult time adjusting to how well my new job respects both my time and expertise. It is also unnerving to complete a work task and not have immediate feedback from thousands of people and a tiny fraction of the lunatic fringe on the internet.
