Tonight begins the 23rd season of Dancing With the Stars so I’ll review the odds and make my best bests. Jeez, how the hell has this c-list celebrity worshipping garbage show been around for 23 seasons? There must be a lot of degenerate gamblers out there betting on the winner.

Full disclosure, I’ve never watched a second of Dancing With the Stars in my life so my predictions are basically totally groundless. I’m just a guy who writes on the internet who used to have a gambling problem and is getting paid to post #content.  So if I were you I’d take this post as mere entertainment rather than gospel on which to wager all your money on. Probably not the best idea to bet on Dancing With The Stars to begin with, but you do you.

Here are the odds, via Bovada:

• Laurie Hernandez +250
• Amber Rose +700
• Vanilla Ice +700
• Calvin Johnson +750
• Jana Kramer+800
• Marilu Henner +1000
• Jake T. Austin +1000
• Ryan Lochte +1000
• James Hinchcliffe +1200
• Babyface +1200
• Tera Cole +1600
• Maureen McCormick +33
• Rick Perry +3300

16-year-old Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez is a big favorite at +250. That makes a lot of sense but with 11 other competitors vying to win plus Rick Perry, that’s not good value.

Amber Rose used to dance for a living, but unless they do lap dances on Dancing With The Stars- and if they do I’ve really been missing out all these years- I don’t foresee a strong correlation between stripping and ballroom dancing.

Vanilla Ice has gotten some buzz because he’s a former entertainer who had some solid onstage dance moves, but that was before I was born and I’m 23 years old. The guy is three times as old as Laurie Hernandez, and I’m skeptical that he can still dance as well as he used to.

Calvin Johnson at +750 is interesting, because he was a Hall of Fame-caliber wide receiver with excellent footwork, and just recently retired at the top of his game. But while Megatron may have the moves, I doubt he’ll have enough charisma to stand out from the pack.

So who is my best bet? Ryan Lochte. Lochte is in excellent physical condition and has won 12 Olympic medals. Sure he’s a total jabroni but America loves a redemption story, and I expect Lochte to work hard to make that a reality. Whether he will actually win is anybody’s guess, but 10:1 odds looks like solid value.

But again, you should think twice before you bet on this especially if you’re consulting my ignorant advice.

Is this going to be Lochte’s life from now on?

Dear God, man. This is the problem with these overseas soccer stars: they’re treated like demigods and no one says ‘no’ to them. This may be the most egregious ‘yes man’ situation ever because Neymar‘s singing skills are BRUTAL. I remember that a couple of years ago, the CIA used to use American pop songs such as “The Real Slim Shady” to torture their captives. If that’s true, put Neymar’s music at the top of the list of songs that make me want to drown myself in my own blood. Dear f*cking god man.

The NFL just released their Nike Color Rush jerseys, which teams will wear for all of their Thursday Night Football games. Color Rush is an idea that started last year with only eight teams, but the powers that be must have liked it so much that they’re going with all 32 teams this year. “Color Rush brings a full head-to-toe monochromatic look to the NFL gridiron. The designs draw inspiration from both current and historic uniform schemes — celebrating the hallmarks of each club’s distinctive identity.”

At least, that’s what the NFL says about them. Personally, I do not find them attractive at all. The only teams I think look anywhere near halfway decent are the teams who lucked out wearing white.

The first game-time appearance of the Color Rush jerseys will be during this Thursday’s game between the Jets and the Bills. Last year, the Jets and the Bills wore green and red jerseys, respectively, causing some color blind fans to be left clueless as to which team was which. Thankfully, they decided to switch it up this year.

We’ve embedded all of the teams’ uniforms for you in the gallery below, but here’s what all of the jerseys would look like if they were put on the field at once.

Incoming UCLA Freshman Winnie Chen was probably pretty excited to start the best four years of her life with new friends, until she got an absurdly ridiculous email from one of her new roommates. Regardless of how aggressive or crazy you thought your own freshman year roommate was, this chick Ashly (spelled without an “e”) is a billion trillion times worse. After both Chen and her roommate, Guistinna Tun, failed to respond to an email from Ashly, Ashly sent this over to her new roommates.

Okay, so I’m not sure why neither of you responded back to my emails, but I don’t really care, just as long as you both know this and understand that I’m not gonna settle for anything less than what I’m gonna tell you that I’m gonna get once I arrive in the dorm [sic],” the email started out. It was also sent to Chen’s other roommate Guistinna Tun and included an insane list of demands for move-in day. “I’ll take the top bunk of the bunk bed that has a bottom and top bunk. I DO NOT want the single bunk where it has a desk underneath the top bunk so don’t try to leave me with that. I’m also taking one of the white closets. There should be two white closets and I’m taking one of them. I don’t care for which one it is, just know I’m taking one of them.

I want the desk that’s near the window. Plain and simple. I don’t care about who gets the bottom bunk but just know what I stated above is what I’m expecting once I arrive at the dorm and I won’t be in the mood for any arguing or other nonsense because one of you two deliberately disregard this email. If needed be I’ll turn it into a bigger situation so don’t try me.

Sorry but not that sorry for the attitude. I don’t like being ignored because that’s just rude but that’s what you both decided to do so I decided to make it clear now on the kind of person I am and what I will and will not take.

So as a final reminder: I am getting the top bunk of the bunk bed with the bed on the bottom, I am getting one of the white closets, and I’m getting the desk near the window. That’s fair enough to ask for considering that I’m giving up fighting for the bottom bunk.

Tun, Winnie Chen’s more normal, but still bad ass b*tch roommate, wasn’t going to just sit there and take it. So she wrote this email back in reply:

Hi Ashly,

First and foremost, I was not ignoring you. Not only have I been incredibly busying moving houses this week and driving back and forth for more than three hours everyday, which leaves me little to no time to talk to my friends – much less check my email – but I’m not used to communicating with people through email. So please excuse me for being rusty at this. Plus, I we got in contact on Tuesday, and today is barely Thursday. A day’s difference shouldn’t be made into such a “BIGGER SITUATION.” That’s why I suggested we communicate through group chat on Facebook messenger, but its honestly okay if you don’t want to. I can settle with emailing.

Second I would like to say that me and Winnie are extremely easy going people. We’re chill and more than willing to compromise with one another, including you, and make decisions based on fairness. And we appreciate that you are letting us know your preferences from the get go. But… here is a list of things we don’t appreciate.
1. Assuming off the bat that we are ignoring you. Please, don’t play the victim. It’s petty.
2. You making all of these demands. While it may not like it to you, it seems like it to us.
3. Your attitude. GIIRRRL, WE HAVEN’T EVEN MET YET. But at this rate, I don’t think I wanna even meet you anymore #SORRYBUTNOTTHATSORRY
4. Your sense of entitlement… just because you gave up the BOTTOM BUNK. Please, there is more to life than the bottom bunk. And that doesn’t give you the excuse to automatically demand ‘THE TOP BUNK THAT HAS A BOTTOM AND TOP BUNK, ONE OF THE WHITE CLOSETS AND A DESK THAT’S NEAR THE WINDOW.”

Look I’m not here to fight with you. I hate being a bitch, but I am not going to allow anyone to talk to me or Winnie like that. You said “don’t try me” but you ended up trying me. So, here I am. I’d understand if you would want to chance roommates after reading this email, because honestly, that is how me and Winnie felt after reading yours. But if you’re willing to work this out and start over, then so are we. I’m all about being open minded and getting to know people. Just let me and Winnie know.

This is the email that Ashly sent back. While at least she can admit that she’s a “ticking time bomb,” she still sounds too crazy to be around.

But word of advice: while I stepped out of line with my attitude, you throwing it right back along with other snarky unnecessary comments is just fighting fire with fire. I’m mature enough to put out the fire myself once I see it spreading, but other people aren’t so I don’t think that was necessariliy the right way to handle the situation.

However like I said, the fact that you stuck up for you and winnie seemed pretty cool to me- I like people who know how to speak up for themselves but most importantly, for others too. So yeah, I don’t mind starting over considering the fact that I don’t get along with other people right off the bat because I’m not that much of a people person. So I’m not looking to find other roommates either.

I’m also really chill too. But as you can see from my previous email, I am like a ticking time bomb that sets off when certain things I don’t like happen to me. I went far with the assumptions that you both were ignoring me, but I wasn’t “playing victim” I truly believed I was being ignored because of how I was looking at the situation. My mind trails elsewhere when I’m not catching it on the tracks.

I’m an over analyzer which leads to over thinking at times. I do have anger issues that has only been going off recently because of personal stuff, one of the major ones being that I’m leaving home to go miles away. If that scares you then you can request another roommate. I have low tolerance for a lot of things and my patience level isn’t high at all. those are the three things I’ve been working on and plan on working on while in college too since it’s one of the best times to grow and develop into who you want to be.

So, now that I’ve said a little bit more about myself and my piece of the situation, if you’d like to request another roommate that’s fine. But if not that’s cool too, I’d appreciate if you would take the top bunk with the desk underneath (lol.)

Maybe the biggest thing to me is that this girl’s name is Ashly, but without an e. Like, are actually expecting a person whose own parents can’t give her a normal name to be normal? Absolutely not.

Also, shout out to the big nuts on Winnie Chen for sharing these email correspondences with all of Twitter.

The highly anticipated iPhone 7 release is upon us, and the review embargo has finally been lifted, meaning the public will know if they really can commit to a phone without a headphone jack. The removal of the headphone jack has made the release of the iPhone 7 one of the most talked about Apple releases in years.

With improvements to the speed, camera, screen, and battery, the iPhone 7 has a lot of ‘under the hood’ upgrades. While neither of the devices seems to be considered revolutionary, all in all, Apple and iPhone have done what they always do: create the best phone on the market.

With so many reviews and even more questions, we decided to make your decision as easy as possible, and round-up all the best reviews on the internet. Check them out for yourself below, and decide whether or not you want to upgrade!

iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus Reviews

Consensus: While the iPhone 7 is nowhere near groundbreaking, the sum of its parts make the iPhone 7 one of, if not the, best smartphones on the market.

The Verge: “Inside that case, everything else about the iPhone 7 is a decisive statement about the future.”

MacRumors: “Terrific Phones That Offer a ‘Foundation’ for the Future, But Not an Essential Upgrade”

Wired: “They’re the best, fastest, strongest iPhones yet. They also indicate, nine years into the iPhone experiment, that we’re nearing some platonic ideal of a smartphone, the device in its final minimalist form.”

Time: “It doesn’t ‘wow’ like so many Apple products have. But then again, maybe it doesn’t need to. It’s not a huge upgrade, but it helps Apple’s smartphone remain one of the best around.”

Mashable: “Apple didn’t make the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus any larger than the last models, but they clearly gained a little battery space by dropping the 3.5mm headphone jack.”

Business Insider: “Headphone jacks aside, there’s very little else that’ll shock you about the iPhone 7. In fact, that might be deliberate. It looks almost exactly like the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6 before it, more like an iPhone 6ss than a brand-new generation of iPhone.

Engadget: “Jet black iPhone bodies feel just as glossy and slick to the touch as their glass screens, and that unity makes them feel like seamless, cohesive wholes. The entire thing is seriously impressive, even if it feels sort of plasticky.”

CNET: “(Is it enough to uprgade?) Who knows yet. Hands-on, the 7 feels a lot like the 6S (and the 6). But the key updates to battery, faster performance, water resistance, and camera could make a difference.”

BuzzFeed: “In many ways, the iPhone 7 feels like an “S,” or an “in-between,” device. The design of the phone is mostly unchanged.”

TechCrunch: “The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are the best iPhones ever. And they are probably the best portable cameras ever made.”

Ars Technica: “iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users who are still happy with the speed and physical condition of their phones could comfortably get at least another year out of them, though. Upgrading won’t get you a significantly better screen than you already have, and iOS 10 should run just as well on your older hardware as iOS 9 does.”

USA Today: “The $769 iPhone 7 Plus is a solid, albeit incremental, upgrade to the company’s seminal smartphone.”

Stuff: “With no screen size or resolution bump, the 4.7in, 1334×750 iPhone 7 is on paper light years behind the Android competition.”

Bakhar Nabieva used to be a skinny girl when she was younger, but apparently, she eventually had enough of that and started working out hard. Now a couple of years later, she’s known to her Instagram followers (of which she has 727K) as the “Girl With the Iron Bum.”

According to the Daily Mail, Bakhar lives in Ukraine, specifically in the city of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. That being said, a ton of her Instagram and YouTube followers come from all over the world to stare at her legs, which could probably crush a watermelon or anything else that gets in between them.

We’ve scoured the nation to find the smartest, coolest, all-around most awesome college girls in the country, and we’re bringing them straight to you. In fact, we’re publishing three girls a day every day until we run out… which is a lot of days, TBH. You can thank me later.

From California to Mississippi and Theater to Interior Design, it’s pretty safe to say that their interests are vastly different. Yet each girl is repping her school with pride and hoping to take home the coveted title of Miss COED 2017.

Without further ado, meet the next group of contestants. Who are you voting for?!

Think you have what it takes to rep your school? Submit to be part of the Miss COED 2017 competition today!

Fallon Williams, University of Southern California

“It has always been a dream of mine to go to school in California. I have been singing, dancing, acting, and playing piano my whole life, so I have a huge interest in performing arts. Not only is Los Angeles the perfect place for my desired career, but USC has an amazing theatre program as well as broadcast journalism. The school is beautiful and has such a diverse student body. There are endless opportunities at USC and there’s a place for everyone. I love to keep myself busy, so having so many activities and organizations to my avail is just perfect! Fight on!”

Emma Franklin, University of Mississippi

“I wanted to go somewhere away from home, but close enough to home at the same time and Ole Miss was perfect! My older brother was a cheerleader there for four years, two of which I was in high school and my parents and I went to every football game throughout high school so it was almost like I was a student there already. It just made sense for me to go there and nowhere else. Not to mention Oxford is the most beautiful place and everyone knows what a fun time it is!”

The second game in last night’s Monday Night Football doubleheader was a total snoozefest, as the San Francisco 49ers beat the hell out of the Los Angeles Rams 28-0. The Rams punted a whopping 10 times, and they made only 10 first downs, which is not exactly a recipe for success.

Thankfully, Westwood One radio announcer Kevin Harlan was still able to provide his listeners with some entertainment. With 11:31 left in the ballgame, a 49ers fan decided to run across the field, and Harlan vividly described his exploits like he was running for a touchdown in the Super Bowl.

That was an absolutely sensational call from Harlan. I definitely think it deserves a spot alongside the all-time great announcer performances. Years from now we’ll still be quoting, “The band is out on the field!”, “Do you believe in miracles?!” and “SOMEBODY STOP THAT MAN!!”

Throwing aside Harlan’s excellent ability to paint a picture, the fact that he went into any detail at all about this fan was awesome. I hate how announcers are traditionally mum when it comes to this stuff. I know they don’t want to encourage these jackasses, but I’m always so curious as to what’s going on. A true announcer knows to give the people what they want, and what they want is thrilling commentary on drunk goofballs running across the field. Thank you, Kevin Harlan, you are a goddamn master of your craft.

South Park returns for its 20th season tomorrow night, and luckily, they have no shortage of material. South Park‘s season premieres are always classics, but the 20th looks like it will be an all-time classic.

South Park is coming off of its 19th season, which is considered one of their best. Now using an interconnected storyline with season long plots and arcs, South Park has somehow found a way to make their show funnier by including self-referential comedy. Since introducing the continuation of story details two-years ago, one of the funniest lines from the past couple years was when Stan blurts out: “Why does everyone suddenly remember everything everyone said?!”

And then there’s last year, when PC Principal recounts some of the ridiculous moments that have happened throughout the years:

Now, South Park is back for its 20th season, and if the previews are any indication, it’s going to be an absolute riot.

Meaalofa Te’o is a nine-year-old from Victoria, Australia, and he is a damn monster on the rugby pitch. Check out his highlight tape below from a tournament his team won in Canberra, and thank your lucky stars that you’ll never have to try to tackle him. My whole body is sore just watching this prodigy trample the competition.

I’d pay good money to hear Chris Berman do play-by-play on this video. He’d make so many goofy ass sound effects that it’d sound like a Mike Alstott highlight from the late 90s.

Just complete and utter domination from Te’o. Not only was he running kids over and stiff arming them into oblivion, he also showed off a filthy juke move and breakaway speed. The kid is the total package, and he needs a Vegemite endorsement, pronto.

So, apparently Japan’s ‘sex crisis’ has been an issue for longer than I’ve been alive. Who knew? Researchers are claiming this is an actual issue, and at their current rate, Japan will go extinct on August 16, 3766. But what the hell is actually going on?

According to Metro, researchers at the country’s Tohoku University have put together a doomsday clock that counts down to the extinction of their population. According to their calculations, which were based on Japan’s falling fertility rates and aging population, the country will dwindle to just one person in just 1,750 years.

But how the hell is this all possible? As it turns out, apparently our Japanese bros are all work and no play:

Men in the country work upwards of around 80 hours a week, meaning they often lack the time or energy for sex. Women on the other hand feel like they have to choose between their careers or starting families – with many choosing work.

Now, while all of this is frankly bullsh*t college research, it is interesting to see that of they were to continue their current pace, that their lack of sex could actually wipe out a nation.

First, let me just open by saying how genuinely confused I am that ESPN hasn’t sued Fox Sports yet. I mean, I have little, nay, zero education on law, especially copyright law. But, I mean, holy hell, is anyone seeing what Fox Sports is pulling? Their new Skip Bayless-led show, Undisputed, is a carbon copy of ESPN’s First Take. Both feature an annoying shriveled white dude and an outspoken black dude. Both shows try and create buzzworthy, click-bait headlines. Hell, even the graphics they use are strikingly similar.

Anyway, Undisputed has obviously had to pull in some big names to gain so momentum, so who better to bring on than the biggest rapper of 2010, Lil Wayne? While Lil Wayne is nowhere near the rapper he used to be, he is still one of the most respected, and well-liked, rappers in the game. Even non-Wayne fans have been able to sympathize with his ongoing situation with his record label, Cash Money, and it’s CEO, Birdface Birdman.

This morning on Undisputed, Wayne addressed the situation:

Say what you will about the guy, but he seems like a genuine dude who just wants to make music. He’s got all the money in the world, anyway.

The most important thing to recognize when it comes to lists that rank the best colleges and universities is that you can’t get into any of them, so don’t even try. The second most important thing to remember is that these rankings don’t necessarily mean that they’d be the best colleges for you… which is great because you wouldn’t get into them. So with those two things being said, allow us to present you with the US News and World Report‘s “Best Colleges Rankings.”

According to US News and World Report, the purpose of releasing the list is online traffic to “help students worldwide compare the academic quality of more than 1,800 U.S.-based schools.” In order to help break up the 1800 schools they studied, USN broke the different colleges and universities into different categories:

– National Universities
– National Liberal Arts Colleges
– National Universities (Public Schools)
– National Liberal Arts Colleges (Public Schools)

So without further ado, here’s what you wanted to see.

I’ll tell you this right now: Sign. Me. Up. I mean, sh*t, I’ve gotten my ass kicked in regular life, let alone professionally for a boatload of money, so why the hell not?! That’s right, folks, CM Punk made half a million dollars for getting his ass beat for less than 120 seconds.

CM Punk, whose real name is Phil Brooks, submitted after just two minutes by young gun Mickey Gall at UFC 203, but still walked away with a girthy $500,000 paycheck. For all of my math majors out there, that’s over $4000 a mothaf*ckin’ second. In contract, Gall, the dude who beat the piss out of punk, only got $30,000 for his win. Seems like a sweet deal if you ask me.

For comparison, heavyweight headliners from UFC 203 Stipe Miocic and Alistair Overeem received similar purses. Miocic walked away with a $600,000 purse for his first-round knockout victory over Overeem, who received $800,000. Maybe even more outrageous is the fact that Punk’s purse was guaranteed, meaning Punk’s salary was a flat $500,000 fee: win, lose, or draw.

To Punk’s credit, at the end of the day, the UFC is a business. If you have the leverage to use that business to earn a handsome paycheck, so be it. Such is the nature of capitalism.

Needless to say, some UFC fighters were none too thrilled:

Sorry, UFC fighters, but you need to get a grip and realize your beef is with Dana White, not Punk.

Courtney Friel is probably one of the America’s hottest news anchors. Right now she’s currently working for KTLA as a reporter/anchor, but she’s previously worked for Fox News. If you’re at as familiar with this chick as we are, you know that she loves to post on Instagram pretty much every day, along with catchy hashtags like #FriealityShow #KeepItFriel.

Now that she’s a mom, Friel’s toned it down considerably in the past few years–but she’s still not afraid to talk about her addiction problems including alcohol and drugs. In various social media posts and interviews, Courtney Friel has come clean that she (along with many other attractive blondes in the ’90s) had some good times. But that’s no longer…

Anyways, the good news is that it’s clear that the healthy state of mind has had positive effects on Courtney in her later periods of life. Check out her hottest photos below.

22-year-old college student Tyler McQuillen was enjoying a day of spearfishing with his buddies off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. Everything was going swimmingly until some dickhead 12-foot-long great white shark decided to show up and ruin everything. Here’s the intense footage Tyler’s GoPro captured of him tangoing with the shark.

I gotta tip my cap to Tyler for staying calm under pressure. I definitely would’ve panicked and ended up like Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea. But not Tyler. Tyler has gigantic balls that dangle out of his swim trunks. So instead of losing his cool, he drilled that shark with a spear to the face and made him go crying home to his mother.

The shark did break two of Tyler’s toes by biting his foot, but Tyler clearly won the war with his textbook spear game. Tyler’s also got a badass story to tell for the rest of his life and the video to back it up. Humans – 1, Sharks – 0. Suck it, nerds.

I’m sitting on the couch with my roommate last night after crushing a couple beers and a sub from the local spot. The Steelers waxing of the LOLSkins was coming to an end, and the JV scrimmage that was the Niners and Rams had yet to begin. Most unlucky bros would just put their heads down and watch the rest of the Steelers game, scrolling through Snapchat, whatever, but last night, we were lucky bro. Last night, Marshawn Lynch was on NBC’s running wild.

So we’re sitting on the couch, watching the end of the Pittsburgh game, talking Fantasy. ‘Brown is unstoppable’ ‘Washington players are undraftable’ etc. Then, at what one could only consider the perfect moment, my roommate gets a text: “marshawn in the forrest with bear gryll. nbc right now.” Before my buddy was able to finishing reading ‘marshawn in the wild’ aloud, I was already changing the channel.

We caught it right at the beginning. Luckily for all of you, I was documenting the momentous occasion on Snapchat (@ericitaliano):

‘What was I thinking?’ I mean, obviously, he was thinking he could handle this. That was until Bear F*CKING Grylls showed up riding literally outside of a helicopter. Yeah, he was strapped in or whatever, but he was just flailing his arms around screwin’ around like his life wasn’t in serious danger. Once Lynch saw this, he knew he was f*cked. Grylls strapped him up to the chopper, and the show got rolling:

Once the chopper lands, Bear let’s Marshawn know that their first task is to find dinner. Marshawn recapped as follows:

This is where sh*t starts to get really real for our boy Beast Mode. They chase the hog around for a bit, only to lose it. However, the reason they lost is is because the boar or pig or whatever literally ran itself off a cliff, conveniently landing a couple dozen feet below. Essentially, Bear ties Marshawn to a rope and lowers him down the cliff, where Marshawn then ties a rop on the hog, and Bear pulls em back up:

Needless to say, when Beast Mode returned, he wasn’t havin’ any of it:

‘I know you got courage and all that sh*t, but I’mma have to say what ya hands talkin’ bout.” Damn. I mean I know Bear has dealt with some pretty OD wild stuff in this day, but I don’t care what anyone says, Marshawn is terrifying.

However hey rebound, and make a fire with one of Marshawn’s dreads:

Amazingly, as the show progressed, Bears was able to get in touch with Marshawn’s soft side, and show that he is rather profound :

They would eventually -obviously- make their way out of Corsican Mountains in France, only after providing the best hour of television I’ve seen all year.

Watch the full episode on NBC. It’s well worth your 42 minutes.

It’s just a matter of time before really good first-person shooter games take hold of the VR world. And when they do, we’re banking that therapists are going to notice a huge rise in PTSD. Why? Because judging from this footage of Onward, a Mil-Sim game currently available for Vive, close quarters combat, specifically knifing people, is going to cause a ton of psychological problems.

Check out the difference between killing someone from a distance versus having to pull out your knife to get up close.

“Guns for show, knives for a pro?” Yeah, not in this case.

Until today, I’d never heard of Onward, but I have to say that this is one of the few Vive games that gets my blood flowing downstairs. It’s still very much in early access mode on Steam, but these are the kinds of adult games that will get the market’s attention.
