I'm kinda really sick of video games using children as plot devices to elicit "emotional" responses in players.

      @desensitisation @leighalexander It's a phase the current gen of debs are going through. Something called "parenthood". Whatever that is.

      @JaycobC ahahaha I stalked one kid in a village and was SO ANGRY to find he was immune. Apparently there's a "killable children" mod.
