    I thought I had a stroke reading that sentence.

      Right? How about:

      Earth Must Die publishers say steam launch “unclear” after an “alien orgy depicted as gyrating lump of the floor”

      How hard was that? Frankly “publishers of earth must die” would be a better sentence even still, but I understand putting the subject first for a headline is a functional thing.

        Idk, I really didn’t have any trouble understanding the title. Imo it makes sense. They have an alien orgy in their game, depicted as lump of gyrating mass, and they’re not sure what that’ll do for their launch.

        Not sure why that’s hard for people to read.

          I’ve been seeing this a lot lately. People complain about perfectly legible sentences being hard to read. Am I going crazy?

            “Are people getting dumber?” would be my question.

            But also maybe we are going crazy?
