Back to the good old Reagan days? (I know some people say he was a globohomo puppet, but he probably got more respect from the blue crowd than trump ever did)

I do think it would make sense that it would still be toned down compared to the earlier games. I think that 3 might be the utter maximum that some devs for big studios might allow.

Fags love to use baldurs gate as an example... they also love to group veilguard and bdurs gate as well.

That's true - though some lefties willing to criticize Veilguard have claimed that Baldur's Gate 3 is the real Dragon age 4. Baldurs gate 3 probably has it in there, but it at least has the gameplay done well enough to draw in newcomers and hardcore gamers alike, and I would say it's probably subtle enough in terms of wokeness that it didn't choke the game out like veilguard did. And to further that, it did just about all the things that people felt Veilguard was too scared to do - inter-character conflicts within the player party (I only played for a little bit and there was some good tension between the Githyanki girl and the Half-elf Cleric), dark, dramatic fantasy that didn't feel like a pixar movie, character designs in line with previous installments, that sort of stuff.

Indeed, I think that a lot of would-be devs on this forum could probably also make their messages go further by being subtle too. I had an idea for writing a fantasy setting where magic operates on the idea of solidly defined male and female and attempts to defy that always go south.

On top of this, I think that a lot of companies are becoming aware that gamers are starting to reject nonsense like this, which has become more prominent over the Biden years. If gamers weren't, I don't think they would be trying to not let gamers know that consultancy firms exist, as the name Sweet Baby has become toxic to a lot of them. Whether or not the vocality against DEI will calm now that Trump's coming back to the white house remains to be seen (among other events), though if there's enough of a push, then it might end up causing them to fade for what could be a long time.

They would probably figure out eventually, though. Even then, if it would keep them in check, it might be ok.

I third. Though I think it would be a bit large a task for 4chan to do (I remember a proposal back to send youtube down in flames after the "Youtube Heroes" program reared it's head by doing something similar which fizzled out after the program vanished without a trace).

Regardless, we can at least hope that they stay there, since X will have less people trying to compete for it.

I can see them getting into a situation like Resetera where they've banned a shit ton of people over the most minor thing, complete with an actual statistic chart showing how bad it has gotten.

I agree. I can buy ninjas who don't hide and succubi who don't have sex, but I can't buy thieves who don't steal, which is about as dumb as (if not dumber than) pirates who don't touch another pirate's treasure.

(I'm just trying to be funny here, apologies if it comes off as me being a smartass)

Ah, an interesting account. I actually borrowed the game on my brother's PS5 just to get a feel of the game, and I can sort of see where you are coming from. I think I had just gotten to level 4 or something and I had only reached the outskirts of the goblin stronghold while looking for the Githyanki creche. It's competently made, certainly, but I don't know if I will find it satisfying enough to ask him for some more rounds at the game.

Oh man... I would be so curious about if we got more cases of anti-trump cults, especially ones that look a lot like the Daylife Army (which wasn't explicitly anti-trump, but had a huge progressive/new-age bent to it).

Yep. I suspect there are several other goofy incidents that we could jokingly ascribe as the moment that secured the win for Trump, such as the "Skibidi Biden" sketch.

I've actually heard some people suspect that Kamala's loss coupled with Hillary's loss means the Democrats won't try to nominate a woman again for what might be decades of election cycles.

Hell, it's possible that by doubling down, they may not be able to hide their association with consultancy firms, which would only give people more reason to hate them.

This just made me realize something: Are Jews no longer a protected class for some leftists and if so, how many? I've realised that there has actually been little to no inclusion of jews among the groups that DEI, tumblr, and other ultra liberals have tried to prop up.

I think it would be hilarious to see if they start saying things like "Jews are white!" now.

Actually, I think King Boo stopped trying to help them after the pandemic meant he couldn't have any more dead souls to try and help him stop Luigi.

I was just making sure, even if one could believe that this picture is saying what Biden currently feels internally.

Wait, is this tweet real or not? If it is, then I would give him a bit more cred too.

As is a huge amount of cackling that would have been.

I suspected as much. The only subs which still seem to hold out are the KIA subreddits, r/Anarchocapitalism and r/conservativememes, and even then they have to be careful not to avoid stepping on the minefield of rules that mods could weaponize against them.

Yes, that seems to be the case. I paid the site a visit and it's doing good.

Hell, I think that everyone on this sub would rather read One Operation Joker than any of this garbage (Not that OOJ is a bad series, just... weird).

Are there still subs that do that? I know it happened in the past, but are they still at it?

I could understand that. But the thing that comes to my mind is the fact that she still seems to be in Israel's pockets, and I don't think any candidate can defend Israel in front of the hardcore left anymore. I could see her getting huge amounts of hate from that crowd, especially since I suspect that the current Israel situation will continue for a good while.

I had fun with one of the installments when I was a kid, though I probably had a lower bar for quality back then.

Also curious about the idea of AI games, since I heard those became popular among civilization players long ago.
