vic michaelis has enchanted me once again with their clear desire to win when they’re on game changer and their complete inability to do so due to the Bit calling to them like venom

Count the Rice is already close enough I think Dropout should just commit and make a horror Game Changer episode. Sam’s voice welcomes you to game changer and you walk out and suddenly the whole building is dark and empty except for you, a couple cast members in scary as shit costumes, and Sam’s friend Tao Yang who is standing about ten seconds away…
