Awwww, man. Fuckin' sucks.
Doesn't surprise me though. They've been flirting with wokeness for years, and only getting worse. Frankly, it's amazing they've kept a (relatively) good reputation for as long as they have, considering they keep sticking their foot in their mouth. I suppose that's what happens when you produce beloved/quality games for a while. People desperately want to love CDPR, but they'll be running out of goodwill soon.
I'm sure Raz0rfist is laughing his ass off though.
Expected it to be lame and gay. Some of them are gay, but these aren't lame.
Agree with u/SarcasticRidley - these are much higher quality than those National Geographic ones.
However you feel about the politics represented by some of these, at least these are actually skillfully captured. There's some great stuff here.
I said you could start at the bottom of California drive 18 hrs and still be in California.
And, heck, you can drive 48 hours - two days - nonstop, from the Oregon coast to Massachusetts coast, all on the same highway.
The whole "Americans don't have passports" thing always cracks me up.
We're the fourth largest country on the planet by area, with the first two being Russia and Canada. Russia and Canada are both largely unpopulated, or very sparsely populated, with the vast majority of people living in around 20%-30% of that area. Sure, US also has plenty of low population areas, but it's not nearly as much as the others. Even China, the third largest, has more areas that aren't really inhabited, from what I can tell. Furthermore, the US has much more people than Russia or Canada, meaning you're going to have more populated places.
So America may very well be the largest country geographically when you take populated areas into account, depending on how all that is broken down and measured. At least second. We also have a bunch of geographical diversity, as well as diversity of states.
Point is, we're not Europe, a collection of often tiny countries. Americans could (and I'm not saying they do) travel more without a passport than Europeans generally do with a passport. Also, we can go to Hawaii, Alaska, and outlying territorial islands without need of a passport as well.
Americans simply don't need passports in the same way Europeans often do.
EDIT: For those curious, it's a bit hard to measure, but I believe USA is third in amount of populated area, after India and China. India isn't as big as the US, but is packing such a massive amount of people in there they populate a lot of the area. Similar with China; already larger in area, and with a lot more people to fit. USA is almost as big as all of Europe. Bigger, if you exclude Russia.
You also need specific passport photos (because your phone won't cut it), which cost around $17.
It's a racket. Your phone will cut it. I used to work somewhere that did passport photos as a side business. We had a fucked up white screen, and my phone even a decade ago had a nicer camera than what we used. Which was itself a phone, I believe. And don't even get me started on that fucking printer.
It's just more bullshit and unnecessary regulation, where a bunch of people are getting their cut of the money along the way.
Not only that, Elon retweeted and tagged Microsoft CEO. LOL
Oof. It's already got:
LGBTQ+
Political
Politics
Political Sim
Female Protagonist
Psychological Horror
And the top four are the top five (RPG is between Politics and Political Sim), so it's very prominent.
I hope we get a few more major woke bombs, and people realize this shit ain't worth it anymore.
Is this another intersex scenario, or something?
I can't find anything about this person being "trans," although he or she has failed testosterone tests repeatedly, it sounds like.
Whether this is a woman with an extremely high T condition, a tranny, or a biological male intersex person who was always raised as a woman...it's obvious she/he has an unfair advantage.
Libs are saying it's "unfair" that she was excluded in the past, because she's a woman. Well...there are T tests for a reason, though. It doesn't really matter if this is a male or a female; they don't meet the criteria laid out.
That whole article is nightmare fuel.
"Sure 'she' raped her elderly mother, and brags about it, but 'her' lawyer said 'she' was autistic."
Flamers, Exterminatus, nukes from orbit. Take your pick. Figuratively and in Minecraft, of course.
And in case any mindreading mods come along, I really and truly am not calling for violence. I'm issue statement of extreme disgust in our society. I don't care about this particular filthy degenerate to call for violence against him.
So unless you think Exterminatus or nukes from orbit is actionable, or flamers are the most reasonable weapon...yeah.
Whoa, she changed a lot. I didn't recognize her either, but a reverse image search worked for me.
EDIT: I think I misinterpreted your title; I thought you were looking for answers, but I think you just meant she looks very different. I'll push my answer down to avoid spoilers...

Jewel Staite. Kaylee from Firefly. Jennifer Keller, Stargate: Atlantis.
In my opinion she looked much better with a rounder face: 1, 2, 3.
I was so hoping we were done with this bitch.
She's dangerously stupid, dangerously evil (although by politician standards she's barely even standard-evil), and perhaps most importantly she's dangerously fucking annoying!
I know the bottom four were woke as hell (also, it's funny using the past tense; they bombed so hard it feel appropriate, and Concord is literally gone), but I'm not as familiar with the others.
What happened with Skull and Bones, and what was wrong with it? Same goes for Unknown 9: Awakening, which I'd heard of bit didn't even recognize, and had to look up.
Thanks.

I like games that do their own thing. They really took a whole lot of different ideas that mostly had been done, and threw it together into something new, and the end result is impressive.
We've got so many clones of clones of clones, in both AAA and indie, that it's especially nice to see something that isn't 99% like other games in the genre.
It's also nice that, if I were to compare to other games, they're not even the really popular ones. It's a bit Majesty, a bit Northgard, a bit 4X, of course a whole bunch of city builder, and then roguelite elements.
It's fun, I should get back into it.
It's sad that I'd trade in all of these modern retards for actually psychotic 90's weeb anime freaks, at this point.
Those people were fucking trouble - I'm talking the really obsessed ones - but at least they weren't actual subversives. They were just weirdos. They weren't trans, and they didn't hate the West or anything. They were creepy, they were a bit dangerous under the right circumstances, but they weren't the enemy of civilization. And they largely grew out of it.
They'll fucking win against anime in the end. It will take a while, but I think they'll win. But that's alright. They'll take enough away from people who just want to be left alone, that the cycle will repeat.
Also, bitch needs to take Studio Ghibli out of her mouth. Ghibli is great, you don't get to use it to shit on all the entirety of anime just because it might not be as good as the masterpieces.
99% of the trashiest of trash anime is still better than most of modern Western entertainment, and her Pokimane-looking ass can sit the fuck down.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I get almost the whole week off, which is nice. My clients are mostly out of town, so I moved things around and had a two day week. Today (Wednesday, timezones, all that) is my Saturday. Let's fucking go.
Plan to chill on my own, and hang out with family.
