New episode of Splash Damage announced over on Reddit. From the post over there:
With so many inexcusable problems in recently released blockbuster games, has the golden age of gaming come and gone? Will major games ever redeem themselves, or are we stuck with pathetic, half-finished cash grabs? We ponder this question and also discuss the heat rising around Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, Kotaku’s sad take on the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, IGN’s blatant paid advertisement for Battlefield 2042, sexualized costumes in Arcane and Cowboy Bebop, and more.

Yes, we are actually on the verge of, not a 2nd enlightenment, but the 4th Great Awakening.
The Social Justice Racket is a socio-political-economic power-bubble. It's is exponential by necessity, like a pyramid scheme. You can only keep it going so long as you keep expanding, the moment it stops expanding, the whole thing dies.
The entire system has bloated so far out that it is now totally unsustainable. What we will witness, probably in less than 10 years, maybe even 5, is preference cascade. A total failure of the entire protection racket as the bubble bursts. There will be economic devastation at the highest levels, but the rest of us who are outside of the area of collapse will find an incredible opportunity to rebuild everything.
This is what happened to Communism. If you had asked Americans in 1985 how long the Soviet Union would have lasted, no one would have told you 4 years. Most people would have told you anywhere between 50 and 500.
