Get the Belcourt mug.A quote from Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight by the character Harvey Dent in reference to Julius Caesar and Batman. Repeated by Batman at the end of the film.
There are several possible meanings:
1. Absolute power eventually corrupts (as in the case of Julius Caesar).
2. Being consistently heroic is difficult if not impossible, circumstances will eventually push you towards villainy (as in the case of Harvey Dent and Batman).
3. Public opinion can easily change and will eventually change. Many people have the tendency find faults even when there are none. It can also be easily manipulated. You might adhere to your code despite 1. and 2., you can still be painted as a villain by your enemies (as in the case of what Joker did to Batman).
4. Villainy and Heroism are relative and not absolute. "Good" will change with time. Different people have different concepts of "good" (the actions of Julius Caesar can be judged very differently by different people throughout the different ages). In many situations, the line between the two concepts can be very blurry (following the law versus vigilantism).

Get the Benchmarked mug.Detroit: Become Human is a multiple choice game that takes place in the near future, where androids are prevalent in society. You control three protagonists: Connor ( a deviant hunter ), Kara ( a housekeeping android), and Markus ( a prototype gifted to famous artist Carl Manfred).
So basically, a bunch of androids start deviating (or waking up). Due to the increase in murder rates caused by said deviants, Cyberlife (the company who makes androids) make Connor in order to solve the problem.
Markus is the first out of the three protagonists to deviate and eventually leads the Android revolution with the help of other deviants who brand themselves as Jericho.
Kara deviates for the safety of her owner's child ( who ends up being an android). With the help of other characters such as Luther ( who come across during Zlatko's chapter) andRose ( who smuggles deviants across the US-CANADA border. Depending on gameplay, Kara can either successfully make it to Canada or fail.

Get the detroit: become human mug.(J. Robert) Oppenheimer later recalled that, while witnessing the (first atomic bomb) explosion, he thought of a verse from the Hindu holy book, the Bhagavad Gita:
If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one ...
Years later he would explain that another verse had also entered his head at that time: namely, the famous verse: "kālo'smi lokakṣayakṛtpravṛddho lokānsamāhartumiha pravṛttaḥ",
which he translated as "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
