(No shade supposed; I’m simply not large on both Mario or Rabbids.)

I got here throughout an interview with the sport director that made its context crystal clear; it’s an unabashed examination of capitalism and local weather change set in a nightmarish dystopian model of America. Sure, much more than it already is. I’m intrigued to see the place Miasma goes with the story and what it has to say concerning the current, so depend me in.
