        Notably, CRASH was a real thing. The real version's general venality was the subject of the 1997 Rampart scandal.

        I'm not gonna call Rockstar North masters of analysis or commentary then or now, so this stuff wasn't exactly something you had to dig deep to learn about at the time

      I feel like there's some hefty overlap between the gamergate crowd and the people eternally mad at nintendo for never localizing Mother 3

      and exactly zero self-awareness about it
