Are you familiar with Gell-Mann amnesia? Because you seem to be suffering from it.
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.” – Michael Crichton (1942-2008)
The judge on the female Epstein case had an assassin sent to her house. Everyone knows that actual Epstein was assassinated.
Then when you hear the explanation that he totally hated women, you forget that it was an assassin sent to intimidate the judge on the case that can put away very powerful people.
Because the CIA can stage an assassination, but apparently they can't write a fucking note.
I appreciate the idea behind wokeness scores, but in execution I think this guy isn't scoring things very well.

Control is a bit woke. Women all good, men all bad. I think it's a little bit woker than baseline, but he gives it a 3/20.

Greedfall is pretty woke, gets 4/20. Tons of black scientist faction, interracial/gay romances, and lots of women-good/men-bad. It was surprisingly woke for an Eastern European studio.
-
Outer Worlds is WOKE AS FUCK, only 6/20. 100% women good, men bad. 100% capitalism evil. 100% immigration good. There's a multi-hour companion quest where you try and support your companion's gay romance.

Meanwhile Borderlands gets a 12/20. WTF? It's woke, but it's certainly not twice as woke as Outer Worlds.
The rubric is all messed up. Plague Tale: perfectly period accurate 1/5pts, Outer Worlds: Space Western 0/5pts.
Good luck trying to buy a gun now.
I'm nowhere near the riots and all the gun stores are sold out. Even before the lockdowns started all the way back in February, gun stores were getting cleaned out.
This idiot is in the middle of an urban nightmare. They're probably 6 months backlogged for firearms right now.
(Also, whole point of coming here is so we don't need to censor these names.)
More likely the opposite. The game was already looking like a dumpster fire with pronouns and trigger warnings and one of the clans being about smashing misogyny.
It seems like the game was getting ready to finish up so the adults came back expecting to make money and found nothing but garbage. Heads are rolling while they try to salvage something of the last 3 years of wasted development.
