Idk who said them first but I’ll never forget the men who gave me these two things:

  • You are never out of options until you choose to stop looking for them.

And

  • Money comes and money goes but it is never worth fighting about. (The guy who gave me this one was going through an awful divorce and had a lot of regrets about how he handled things. I think that context matters here.)

What kills the prey when being constricted is cardiac arrest. It raises their blood pressure so much that the heart can’t beat properly.

Any animal (for the most part) that is large enough to resist this, and would therefore have to be strangled, is also much too large for the snake to eat. The most noticeable exception being other snakes. Though, boa constrictors don’t normally eat other snakes.

After watching the actual scene in question (linked in another comment) I don’t think there were any implications or bannable presentations at all. The kid was clothed fully and riding on the shoulders of the naked man in the horse mask. It even censored the nakedness of the man. Even if you ignore the context of the man being brainwashed into believing he is a horse, the scene lacks even the most vague implication of sexuality.

Before actually watching the scene I was entirely on Steam’s side. They don’t owe any person or product a platform and don’t actually need a reason at all to ban something. But even still, after watching the scene for myself, I’m disappointed by the apparent decision making which led to this game being taken down.

If the vga/hdmi adapter is active then this abomination could actually pass display information provided you had a micro-usb device that supported display out over usb (idk if there is such a thing and if so it probably doesn’t work all that well but still)
