This game was on my radar because I like co-op survival shooter zombie type shit. Glad I found out this turbo cunt is cashing checks on its development. Blacklisting this studio.

Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian still getting paying gigs in major video game projects in 2026. Western game dev deserves to be replaced by AI.

Set to release later today, Mina the Hollower is a retro Zelda-like indie game from the developers of Shovel Knight. It is on track to become the highest rated game of the year.

Before anyone goes and spends money on this (frankly mediocre looking) game, be aware that the developers, Yacht Club Games are turbowoke. They donated tens of thousands of dollars to a laundry list of leftist orgs including BLM, NAACP, and bail relief funds (aka funds to release violent black criminals back into the community).

Also worth noting: they created a gender swap mode for Shovel Knight in order to assuage their own guilt over choosing a male protagonist for their breakout hit. Of course Mina the Hollower uses a female protagonist from the jump. Some users have requested a gender swap for their new game, but apparently that's just not on the table. Imagine that.

Karl Urban's Johnny Cage dominated all the marketing. Liu Kang is repeatedly declared, throughout the film, to be "the best fighter we've got". So who defeats the big bad Shao Kahn in 1v1 combat and wins the day?

Kitana, of course! Who else? Get subverted, expectations!

Classic girl bossing aside, Mortal Kombat 2 was one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen. My personal highlight was Liu Kang exiting the film like fucking Poochie from the Simpsons. I've never seen a lazier or more convoluted character extraction in my life. I highly recommend you seek out and watch his final scene. It's hilarious.

Anyways, MK2 inexplicably got a pass from all the usual anti-woke content creators. This just keeps happening. Someone like The Critical Drinker will give his stamp of approval to some new media, I'll take a chance on it, only to discover it has many of the same woke elements found in every other mainstream offering. I guess all these "based" YouTube reviewers got one-shot by Buffy when they were teenagers because none of them seem to mind a girl boss.

So two thumbs way down for the new Mortal Kombat movie.

If you're a horror fan, then you know that it might be the most pozzed of all genres. Seemingly every other big new horror movie is a retarded allegory for sexism, racism, homophobia, etc. It's to the point where any horror movie getting any buzz whatsoever is almost certainly woke as shit.

Obsession is the current big deal in horror, so of course it's very overtly about male entitlement, misogyny, etc. Because we can't have horror that is character and plot driven with maybe a little sprinkling of social commentary on top. Nah, it's all gotta be subtle as a trainwreck.

Anyways, good horror suggestions:

• The Empty Man
• The Void
• Terrified
• When Evil Lurks
• Bone Tomahawk

Checked out the latest Synthetic Man vid and saw that the recently released (into early access) Deep Rock Galactic spin-off - Rogue Core - has female dwarves, and they are almost impossibly awful.

It's one thing to force female representation. It's one thing to deliberately uglify your female characters, even. These things? They look like fucking trolls. They are legitimately hard to look at.

The dwarves of DRG were never hot or cute, but they were aesthetically pleasing to the eye - as if crafted by some sort of artist with a modicum of talent. These new, female dwarves aren't just ugly - they're shit. They are the product of an unskilled, untalented person.

And the best part? Because any criticism of ugly female characters is automatically attributed to chuds, and because owning the chuds is always paramount, there is no way to communicate to the devs that these female models are simply bad.

Also, the classes in this game are gender locked. So if you don't want to look at these abominations, then your lobby is locked out of two of five classes.

Also also, I looked up the voice actress for the new female dwarves. She's a fat girl with a cute face. She's exactly what they should have used to model the female dwarves. So once again, western devs can't even give us beauty on par with the IRL source material lol

Oh yeah, the game looks trash. I've sunk hundreds of hours into DRG, and I have no interest in this stupid spinoff.

Kars-4-Kids ads have been pulled in California under false advertising law. Turns out their television commercials (featuring very demographically diverse children) did not convey to California viewers that Kars-4-Kids is a Jewish scam based in New Jersey. Most of the money raised by the "charity" is spent on Jewish summer camps (including trips to Israel) for adolescents as old as 16-17, virtually none of whom are poor.

Now California is the most leftist state in the union. On the flip side, most people would probably agree that Florida has taken the conservative crown away from Texas. But can you imagine Florida ever banning ads for a Jewish scam? The "most based" state in the union is too busy banning criticism of Israel to bother protecting Floridians from obvious fraud perpetrated by the most sacred of all demographics.

Let's be clear: if this was a brown scam (black, Muslim, somalian, Palestinian, etc.), California wouldn't even acknowledge it, let alone try to stop it. We've already seen this happen in Minnesota. And Florida would do the opposite, which seems... good. Better than nothing. I guess.

But the real takeaway is that no one is actually protecting white Americans from anything. The best we can hope for is to benefit, incidentally, from someone protecting or attacking a different group of people. There's no genuine political representation for us. Until that changes, we're fucked.

You can't make this shit up.

Mixtape came out yesterday. It's a 2-3 hour long walking sim that features all teenage girl protagonists and preys on 90s nostalgia. It's already one of the highest rated games of the year.

Every review gushes about the licensed soundtrack, which has nothing to do with the actual game. Every review also begrudgingly admits that there is almost no gameplay in this video game.

Oh, and there are fewer than 2k people playing it on steam. Plus it runs like total ass.

Now we just need a series of coordinated articles attacking gamers and we'll be right back where we started.

Returnal is one of the best examples of woke retards needlessly sabotaging a potentially big game. Imagine choosing a hachet-faced middle-aged turbo cunt as the face of your hardcore bullet hell shooter with a AAA budget. You're already threading the needle with a niche genre and costly development, and then you opt for the least appealing protagonist possible? How many more units does Returnal sell if it had starred Eve (from Stellar Blade) instead of everyone's least favorite aunt? How much money did they leave on the table with that one unnecessary creative decision?

Fast forward to the sequel: Saros. Previews showed an honest-to-god male protagonist. And he's not even black or gay, maybe! Did these devs learn their lesson? Did someone with an ounce of sense reiterate the overwhelmingly male demographic makeup of their target audience? Is the western AAA video game industry finally responding to the harsh realities of our post-covid economy?

Nah. Character is British Indian aka Indian invader. Story is about him cheating on his wife aka toxic masculinity. Game is all about him trying to get her back aka pathetic. He fails and she moves on with a black lesbian. No, that's last bit is not a joke. A Sony game features a male protagonist in 2026, so of course he's a piece of shit who gets cucked by a black lesbian.

If you want to see peak cope/denial/gaslighting, wander over to the NeoGAF thread. All of the crypto leftists are running defense for this woke slope, and they're playing all the hits.

"You guys call everything woke, it doesn't even mean anything anymore."

"Anti-woke are just as bad, maybe even worse, amirite guys!"

"I'm just tired of all the culture war nonsense, this forum sucks now."

"Who cares about the story, just play the game."

"Awww, little snowflakes can't handle a complex story with a little representation?"

And mixed with all that cope is just a bunch of gamers saying "this shit woke as hell lol".

For context: I loved the Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver games. Some of the very best writing and acting ever in videogames. Didn't care as much for the Blood Omen titles, but they were still decent.

The latest (and likely final) iteration for the franchise? A cheap 2D sidescroller. Released two days ago, it currently has 30 players on steam.

The game is based on a comic book kickstarted for $1.5 million (?!) last year. Guess what the story is about? Apparently Raziel, the beloved protagonist of the Soul Reaver games, had a super secret sister named Elaloth! And not only is she more powerful and competent than her brother, but she was also secretly the catalyst for everything that happened in all of the previous games. She was behind the scenes pulling the strings all along! Isn't that original and cool?

Based on what I've read, marketing for the game prominently featured Kain and Raziel, but the game and comic are both dominated by the new girlboss. So they pulled off both the fanfic Mary Sue and the bait and switch.

You can't hate these fucking people enough.

This occurred to me while reading the news about the new Lord of the Rings sequel.

Corpo risk aversion means nothing can get greenlit unless it's attached to an existing IP with an established audience.

Everyone who works in Hollywood is a leftist who only wants to tell stories about queers, girl bosses, and black power.

1 + 2 = almost every new film or show is a retarded lefty story wearing the skin of one of your former favorite franchises.

It's really one of the worst of all possible outcomes for audiences. The freaks who operate Hollywood can't get funding for their queer race feminism slop until they first procure and ruthlessly murder something you love. They are being paid to seal club everything that was ever good.

Happened upon this one recently:

https://x.com/MoreBirths/status/2026093209172992040

This study backs up several chud incel beliefs, most notably:

1. Men who make more money are more likely to attract women and, subsequently, more likely to have children (or get baby trapped)

2. Women who make more money have higher self-imposed standards, making finding a mate more difficult (plus they only spend on themselves)

Therefore: "fixing the economy" will not meaningfully increase births unless women are excluded from any direct improvements.

Put another way: the only way to fix birthrates is to discourage female participation in education and the workforce. That's why dirt poor religious third worlders are having loads of children and socially progressive peoples of all economic levels are having none.

There is no reality in which women spend 80% of their fertility window actively not having children and birthrates do not collapse.

Edit to complete my thought: feminism only increases "freedom" for girls and women for a limited number of generations before collapsing the birthrate. At that point, the total number of "free" girls and women declines towards zero - because only "oppressive patriarchies" are generating children.

Embracing feminism is tantamount to consuming the seed corn. Women are choosing a few generations of fun over the survival of their own peoples, cultures, and species.

Marathon is a live-service, pvp-focused extraction shooter from Bungie, the studio that created Halo and Destiny.

Of course, almost none of the original developers responsible for those hit games are working at Bungie today. They were completely overrun years ago by woke DEI activists. The staff pictures aren't hard to find. The company Twitter never misses an opportunity to signal their progressivist bonafides. There are trannies at every level of the company.

Not surprisingly, the game is flopping pretty hard relative to its budget, which is estimated to be multiple hundreds of millions. A lot of industry simps are claiming it's not that bad because Concord and Highguard were so much worse, but that's not how this shit works; just because your game has more than 500 players doesn't mean it's a success.

I digress. The point of this lengthy post is to identify a shift in strategy among woke devs. I think some of them have realized that overtly woke character designs and aesthetics are not going to fly in the AAA space anymore. Too many high profile ultra expensive failures. At the same time, tranny devs would rather die than submit to popular mainstream beauty standards. These freaks would rather walk into the sea than give the chuds even one good female protagonist.

So what's the tranny's solution to the free market problem? Queer-coded asexual art and character designs. If you can't make your game and characters purple and gay, then do the next best thing: make your game a garish, asexual neon nightmare. No one can accuse you of wokeness if your aesthetics aren't even human, right?

But here's the thing: live-service games rely on skins to generate profit, and seemingly very few people are interested in financially supporting these - again - queer-coded asexual designs. No one is cosplaying this garbage. Woke devs think they've found a plausibly deniable loophole, a strategy for rejecting human beauty norms without giving up the game, but it turns out this aesthetic still triggers people's lizard brains.

Just a theory. Hope this game continues to fail.

Edit: right on cue, an Overwatch developer has attacked gamers as "unemployed" for the sin of discussing Marathon's bad player numbers. Wonder if this dev is a tranny, too...

Forgive me if it's old news, but I hadn't seen this before.

https://youtu.be/8i9hBX0UMEI?si=cEKJB2WIv_LGnJoy

Check out the segment starting at 19:22. Druckman just says it out loud. There was a "pitch" (by team members who were explicitly tasked with injecting diversity) to make a character trans. I don't recall seeing this so directly stated anywhere else. Really confirms what we've long suspected.

Imagine a bunch of tranny and queer devs doing a little power point presentation for their boss explaining why a character in their video game should be trans. Then imagine the boss actually doing it. The state of modern western writing.

Five out of six episodes in the books. Thus far? Virtually every major character is both white and male. No gay shit. No girl boss shit. Positive portrayals of men and masculinity. Minimal or no millennial writing. The show appears to be unapologetically targeting the traditional male audience. It's a complete 180 from the last decade of feminized DEI trash.

How did this get approved??

More seriously: yes, this is undoubtedly the "reconciliation" phase of the leftist takeover. We're expected to come crawling back to Hollywood because they've been magnanimous enough to offer us a few scraps of quality targeted entertainment.

But look at the bright side: imagine how miserable these woke executives and producers must have been reading scripts and watching dailies that featured almost no women, minorities, or gays lol

Forgot to add: the show is universally beloved online. Gee, I wonder why...

My favorite example of an otherwise good game being unnecessarily dragged down by a deliberately unappealing protagonist is Returnal. AAA production values, intense shooter gameplay, roguelite difficulty - everything screams target audience of 15-35yo males. So why is the main character a scowling, homely, middle-aged woman?

Well the studio behind Returnal has a new game coming soon. Same genre, same production values, a sequel in all but name. And the protagonist is a gruff masculine dude?

Another modern girl boss game was Control (from Remedy, the makers of the supremely retarded Alan Wake 2, a game that replaced the literal title character with a black female diversity hire). Famously, Remedy deliberately uglified the female protagonist of Control with a manjaw. She looks way worse than real life model.

The direct sequel to Control features a white male protagonist.

Now maybe these characters are gay. I'm sure they'll be thoroughly soy and leftist. But it's interesting to see big new sequel games from obviously woke developers begrudgingly turning to male main characters. As a rule, these swaps generally only go one way.

Multiple industry articles have proclaimed the latest predator movie a big success after a “strong” opening weekend of… just $40 million domestic and $83 million global. Against a projected budget of over $100 million. With analysts saying it needs $262 million to break even.

By what metric is this a success? By straight comparison to the original, of course! The first predator only made $12 million domestic in its opening weekend!

In 1987.

As a completely new IP.

On fewer than half as many screens.

And then went on to make 80% of its total run after opening weekend.

On a budget of just $18 million.

Movie industry media are attaching Saturn V rockets to every goalpost and firing them into fucking space just to manipulate audiences into thinking this modern slop is popular and good. This shit will be lucky to lose $50 million.

Prompted by a comment over on PDW about the insane racial and gender makeup of Minnesota government.

There is one straight white guy on the Minneapolis city council, and he is a progressive boomer.

There is one young white male in the Minneapolis mayor’s cabinet, and he uses they/them pronouns.

In neighboring Saint Paul, the entire city council is female. There is one white woman, and she is a communist.

The Twin Cities are 72% white. Probably 35% white male. If it’s like anywhere else in the west, those white men probably pay 95% of taxes.

At what point are we looking directly at a “taxation without representation” situation? It was so important that all of these women and people of color be given positions of authority so that they can represent their race/gender as a constituency. Now these major American cities have almost no political representation for over a third of the population who are also paying for almost everything.

The anti-white, anti-male identity politics of the left are just a thinly veiled justification for industrial scale theft. The left wing alliance have voted themselves into the government offices of professional looting.

Because that’s the bargain we accept in exchange for rampant stolen valor.

In the real world, women shrink away from virtually all danger.

Women flee war while their men are conscripted to die.

Female cops wait for male police officers to handle the violent criminals.

Women rely on men to fight fires and rescue people.

Women enjoy the cushy office jobs while men build and maintain all of the infrastructure.

So when you watch or play or read some piece of media that features a 50/50 split with women occupying all of these dangerous and heroic roles - which they virtually never occupy in real life - it’s just dishonest and retarded. It’s a false experience that doesn’t map into our observable reality.

We can tolerate this nonsense if and only if the female characters involved are idealized. Are they nice to look at? Are they pleasant to interact with or read? If yes, then maybe we suspend disbelief and try to have some fun. That’s why men don’t object to hot, agreeable Mary Sues.

But the moment these liars are also made to be ugly bitchy feminists, there’s no motivation for us to continue suspending our disbelief. You’re an unrealistic girl boss and butt ugly and an asshole? Gee, where do I sign up?

This has been the case for years now, but it still boggles my mind. Gaming is an overwhelmingly male hobby. 90% of the people playing enthusiast level video games are male. Yet the clear majority of protagonists in these products are female.

New resident evil? Female protagonist.

New Ghost of Tsushima? Female protagonist.

New Hollow Knight? Female protagonist.

New Silent Hill? Female protagonist.

New World of Warcraft expansion? Female protagonist.

And that’s just the biggest trailers of the night. Gay ass indie is almost entirely female (or queer coded) characters.

Is there another industry that hates its own core customer base this much?

https://www.timesofisrael.com/katz-calls-for-confining-all-gazans-in-humanitarian-city-built-over-rafahs-ruins/

If Israel goes through with this, I think their license to do whatever the fuck they want “because Holocaust” is officially expired.

With KCD2 and AC Shadows both promoting wildly inappropriate gay romance options, I’m wondering if we’ve reached a point where the gay is essentially mandatory in modern AAA western game dev? Are we going to see any strictly heterosexual player romances in any of these games going forward?

I didn’t buy AC Shadows because I don’t have brain damage. Asscreed games have been complete slop for like a decade, so no big loss when they decided to pozz the shit out of the latest entry. But KCD2 is a game I absolutely would have supported if not for the gay pozz. I’m never buying that shit regardless of discount, and that’s fine by me. Fuck ‘em.

I guess I’m curious to find out whether or not virtually all AAA western (story-based) games will be non-starters at conception going forward. If the gay is mandatory from here on out, I’m literally never buying another AAA western story-based game ever again. That’s probably not a bad thing anyways, but it still feels strange after decades of supporting this industry.

Can you imagine anything worse, in the realm of gaming, then playing as a pair of literal millennial girl writers? I expend a decent amount of effort actively avoiding the shit products of millennial girl boss authors. These are the exact people who have fucked fantasy and sci-fi to hell over the last 10+ years. Now they want me to skip right over their painfully terrible self-inserts to play as the actual retards themselves?

The game looks very technically competent. I'm sure the gameplay is fine. But I don't need to tolerate horrible characters, dialogue, and story in my video games. I'm not "missing out" by skipping this shit, same as I'm not missing out when I bypass games created by people who hate me. There are already more good games in existence than any one person could ever fully play. But even if this were the only game in the world, I'd rather quit the hobby than suffer through these characters and this writing.

"Avowed Hates Men"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtFZvRxIffA

To no one's surprise, the game is nothing but insufferable girl bosses, thinly veiled anti-whiteness, and men who are either evil, corrupt, incompetent, cowardly, or just literally homosexual. It's a repeat of Outer Worlds, which shouldn't come as a shock to anyone because the devs are still the exact same leftist feminist dipshits who treat their game dev jobs as merely another opportunity for rank activism.

Outside of the culture war content, everything else is also terrible. The UI is garbage. The game is full of bugs and jank. The combat looks soft and boring. The game's structure is at least 15 years outdated. The story is beyond cliche. Nothing about this woke turd looks good.

An interesting phenomenon is the "console exclusive" bump we always see from such games. There are people out there praising this game for no other reason than Playstation gamers can't play it (right now). Same shit happened with Starfield, not to mention every Sony exclusive ever. These games always have lower scores and player reviews on PC because PC gamers are not ego-invested the same way that console fanboys have always been.

Stumbled across this article from August 22nd of last year. It's a tranny eagerly promoting the possibility of a gay romance in KCD2.

https://www.thegamer.com/kingdom-come-deliverance-2-hans-henry-queer-romance/

Hasn't Warhorse delivered everything this tranny asked for?

Vavra decided to have his cake and eat it, too. That's it. That's the whole story. He's an opportunist and a liar. And half the anti-woke crowd are so desperate for relevance that they're willing to circle the wagons for a traitor who sold out to the woke mob for a few extra shekels.

Edit to add: consider the timeline. This tranny journo was playing a preview build of the game almost six months ago. If the gay romance had been explicit, don't you think he would have been singing its praises?

Vavra deliberately withheld the gay romance from the players because he knew it was a betrayal. He fully intended to blindside us. When it was leaked, he played stupid while his sycophants came to his defense.

Then IGN gives it a 9/10 and releases a "how to be gay" guide five minutes after their review goes up? Obviously some games media were in on the deception.
