The thing that really makes this scene stick out is the Seraphites are such an obvious critical Christian analogy. Druckman clearly is going to promote his tribe. And of course the Holocaust is still a well-known thing after the end of the world. Ellie didn't know what Jurassic Park was but the Holocaust she knows about?

DOOM 2016, DOOM Eternal, Warhammer 40k.

Everyone gives DOOM Eternal a pass because the game part is good and at first glance it’s cool demon murdering stuff. But if you pay any attention to the lore, Heaven is a lie, angels are evil parasites, and God is a usurper who was actually created by Satan instead of the other way around. It’s very anti-Christian.

Didn't the latest Space Marine game have diverse Ultramarines and a female guardsmen captain? Also, isn't Games Workshop rapidly incorporating lefty idpol with female Custodes?

There was a single minor female character with voice lines in Space Marine 2 and if a black guy and a vaguely Asian guy existing anywhere in the galaxy counts as propaganda to you, then your standards are completely ridiculous.

It was a WiiU game, it was propaganda for their own peripheral to try and save a failing system, the same way Skyward Sword did for the Wii.

Try playing it on the WiiU and most of the design decisions make far more sense and almost every aspect of the system shows how it was deliberately designed with the Gamepad in mind to show how amazing it could be.

They just decided midway through development that the console couldn't be saved and then turned it into a launch title for the Switch instead, even if that is the worst version of the game.

Huh. I did play it on switch, but I dropped it instantly when I got the smartphone because I can't stand those things. Though I was already pretty turned off at the time because that came shortly after the cutscene explaining how the great evil could only be defeated by merging man with machine.

Yeah, the Switch version lacks the major tech problems (like severe lag around lightning) of the WiiU but the Sheikah Slate is literally just the WiiU Gamepad. Like you'll have access to your map and many of your functions just on the little screen between the buttons instead of it being part of the game UI. It is by far the best way to play the game and is a great proof of concept for the WiiU's functionality if fully realized.

It just came far too late to save the console and that functionality was highly limited if the entire game wasn't built to support it. And even then it could fail like Star Fox Zero did.

I absolutely hate the game itself, but the WiiU version using the gamepad is a legitimately solid experience for just how well it does work for what its trying to do.

I really enjoyed botw, but it had manditory crossdressing for some reason. And mario odyssey is great! But what was with that story?? Lol something is up with Peach.

The cross dressing is an old school joke about cross dressing.

Peach was tired of the constant kidnapping and left. I thought it was a funny joke.

Sadly, those jokes are tainted by modern politics.

Space Marine 2 is still a little woke.

You've got two marine sidekicks, and they're black and asian Ultramarines. Ultramarines were Greek/Roman until retcons.

There's also a strong no-nonsense female guard commander or something.

Warhammer's military structure is pretty cutthroat as far as advancement goes, and a lot of the attitude is that you do whatever you can and whatever works if you're ambitious. I wonder how well fucking a superior would work for a female guardsman.

I mean, one could argue the main antagonist was just a big trannie. Oh uh.. spoilers. I guess. Then the DLC got reeealy weird with it with their big bad. Like, really fucked up if you take more than 5 seconds to think about the implications. But it gets a pass, because Elden Ring is fucking amazing.

Elden Ring gets a pass because the message isn't woke.

The gay/tranny boss in the DLC undergoes a horrific descent into madness as he becomes a cosmic abomination. Seems pretty on point. The final reveal, that he's brainwashing people into being in gay love with him, is designed to be horrifying and motivate the player to be completely on board with killing him, in case you missed the (easily missed) lore about him turning irredeemably evil after he started as a morally good character.

and I'm not trying to say it is. However there's an increasing number of people that are adopting a very black and white mindset where IF said inclusions are made, it is automatically woke, which in that regard makes it woke.

Also you are leaving out the part where they are also brothers. Which makes it so much worse. I wish they did a little more with his St. Trina alter ego. It felt a little underdeveloped. Like, it almost seemed like he was going to if given enough time do exactly what Merika did with her dual id.

I would say it's more like a clearly male god and a clearly female god sharing the same body. In some senses, they're kind of like a yin and yang.

Aside from the fact they are very much at odds over if they want the Elden Ring shattered or repaired is just about the only signs of two separate minds. Like, if that's the case, why even change gender and hair if it's a shared body? Why be one entity? We learn Merika came from the Shadow Lands but I'm not even sure we ever learn where the hell Radagon came from. Without that piece of the puzzle he really does seem to be of Merika's making. I don't know why though.

Good game, too simple to contain any real politics, but I did notice that one of the Challenge Deck runs is called '15 Minute City'. The concept of a 15 minute city is itself a WEF buzzphrase, using the idea of convenient amenities and public transport as a trojan horse to soften people up to the idea of atomised communities who don't have full freedom to use their own vehicles. The devs have either regurgitated it uncritically or they're actually useful idiots who like the idea.
