Gamers are starving. I'm willing to deal with the old fashioned problems so long as it isn't a woke pile of trash. This has been the worst year yet. Concord, Flintlock, Dustborn, Suicide Squad, Star Wars Outlaws, AC: Shadows, all of them high budget unplayable garbage. Even Nintendo is giving in. We've passed "inclusion is good" and rolled into "these games are purposely made as activism." We're not even expected to like this shit but we're blamed when it fails miserably.
In a normal 4th quarter there are usually at least 6-10 games that look interesting that come out within weeks of each other. This year there are two (for me), one being Space Marine, and both are marked as approach with caution.
So I can deal with a few ignorable cosmetic micro transactions so long as the escapism is intact. If it's not pushing the message in my face I am more likely to support, or at least tolerate it.
This was never about him deciding to leave, this was always about him holding out for a bribe from the DNC to do so. Joe doesn't let go of leverage without a payday.
The nice Jesus stance is so convenient for Christ haters that they're dumping money into it. During the superbowl there was a commercial with a montage of pictures of people washing someone's feet. Whites washing black, two men holding hands, each with one foot in the tub. At the end it said something like "Jesus didn't HATE, HE WASHED FEET"
Link The comments confirm my suspicion. 5.7k likes to 53k dislikes.
This felt blasphemous. You need to see it to feel the vibe behind it but folks like us with the pattern recognition on will see it. They boiled down Jesus' purpose to that of a foot washing servant in order to push a LGBT agenda.
"Stop fighting! Your Jesus would have bent over and washed my feet for this inconvenience!"
Look, we're just living on different levels of reality here. Maybe we're not asking ourselves to look deep enough to truly understand the impulse to pop a family in the middle of the street because "you's a bitch." Maybe the justice system needs a second look and more options. Maybe pleading "they's a bitch, your honor" should be a thing.
It's no secret that Disney will hire teams that have zero talent but are comprised of nothing but PoC activists and LGBT poison pushers, then when that team churns out a shit product they'll blame it on consumers for "giving into hate."
Ubisoft has gone a step further by building all of the gay and racebait directly into their game, readily expecting it to shield the product itself from scrutiny and criticism because it's so blatant and obviously tone deaf it appears to be a trap.
The chutzpah of "we're going to clandestinely alter the course of history... but while we're at it, why not make a bit of profit?"
Early reviews are saying it's a bog-standard mediocre formula sequel that isn't as good as the original. Maybe the CG is better but I'm having a hard time giving a fuck that it exists at all, woke or not.
I can't imagine these people do a single fucking thing.
I'm sure that the VP pick is the deal he has to make with the RNC to lock down the nomination, just as Pence was last time.
I read an interview with some animal conservation experts years ago. Everywhere they go, they make recommendations to whatever government that will benefit the wildlife, which is a huge part of any country's identity.
In countries run by democracy or republics or wherever the bureaucracy is thick, even minor changes take months to years if they're implemented. In countries run by monarchies or a single leader, that leader tells people to get it done, and it's done overnight.
Not saying it's the best option, but it is effective at least.

Tomorrow's 'The Atlantic' headline: IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED...
Behold, the Community College of Philadelphia commercial.
So inspiring they've pulled it from their internet advertising. DEI right in yo fuggin face, filly stronn.
If you're in show business you'd think someone would learn something about what people want to see.
The carrot did not work, so they'll try the stick next.
Almost half of the ground troops in the armies are "of color." It's inescapable. If you can see vehicles' pilots, one black to each white. It's like they trusted the ratio of blacks to whites on American television commercials. It killed the game for me.

At this point it's either adults who are (usually) over it, or kids who weren't alive to grasp the significance. Pretending they never existed is the worst way to handle it.
They're changing the shot to remove the twin towers on the new york skyline. It's not as egregious as it could be, but it's still unnecessary.
If it doesn't have a solid built-in fanbase to piss off, they don't bother. They can't create, only parasiticlly corrupt.
Nice tits but she's been in a Marvel movie so she's part of the problem.
A conspiracy nut might say this validates claims that there's been a semitic agenda to destroy homogeneous cultures for decades. Not only are they blatantly doing it but they've amassed an bottomless war chest in anticipation preparation for it.
Gaming journalism has always been a gateway to shitlording over enthusiasts. It's a job where you get to play games early and write goofy articles like "we played Elden Ring 2 already and here's what we'd change" while the average Reddit goon is clinging to every word. The whole gaming journalism industry thrives on an inference of insider-elite status, and the type of people who chase that are more interested in being influencers than gamers.
Talk about selling your soul for peanuts; Arguing against historians and the opinions of an entire country in order to help Ubisoft sell diversity to an oversaturated market. What a loser.
I had a great time with V Rising, which had no woke in it. Even on console I sunk 50 hours into it because the landscape is otherwise barren.
