I'm over 100 hours into Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and it's very fun, with great graphics and an interesting twist on classic turn-based JRPG combat. I've noticed virtually nothing woke, though I guess there could be something in the back half of the game (I've been grinding and doing sidequests). Definitely recommend.
Yes, it turned out that the ideology was being pushed hard by that same cabal, or else we would have won basically overnight. As it is woke company after woke company is failing or struggling, non-woke stuff is doing gangbusters, studios and companies are starting to outright denounce wokeness, the whole world is shifting to the right, and Trump was elected twice.
Gamergate achieved the goals that we set out to achieve. Now it's been folded into the war against the richest and most evil people in the world, which itself is going well. Exposing a second health bar does not mean you are losing.
It could be even more pleasant, true (that's what keeps it from S tier), but it doesn't grate at all. How many American movies are watched around the world, and how many viewers come away distracted by the accent? Not very many.
I would say that the leathery Scottish accent, like the one Critical Drinker has, is also S tier. It's awesome to listen to while still being easily understandable. However, accents like Scouse I would put in C or even D tier (just grating to listen to), accents like Liverpudlian or Manchester are A tier (pleasant enough and very understandable), while Cockney is C or B tier (sometimes quite difficult to understand), and accents like Yorkshire and some Scottish accents are D tier (very difficult to understand; they might as well be a different language, honestly).
Someone else mentioned Rimworld. Rocket League. Paradox games like Stellaris, Hearts of Iron IV, and Crusader Kings. Civilization. Sid Meier's Pirates! gets another playthrough from me every year or two. These are my "eternal" games.
I only moved within the same town as a kid. Additionally (and this is probably going to get me yelled at), I loved Monopoly around this same time, and he did not have a monocle in my set. I was not a Fruit of the Loom guy, so I can't comment on that. In We Are The Champions, Mercury does sing "of the world" around the 1:09 mark. I'm pretty sure people just mentally/out loud add it at the end, because I only remember "of the world" continuing into "we are the champions" again, and it does seem kind of unresolved without it. I really think something similar is going on with Berenstain, because I remember people completely ignoring the "Berenstain" pronunciation even when I pointed it out and it was right in front of their faces to continue pronouncing it "Berenstein." I'm pretty damn sure that's what's going on there.
For what it's worth, it really wasn't. I distinctly remember as a young kid in elementary school, raising my hand and asking, "why is everyone saying BerenSTEIN Bears? It should be BerenSTAIN Bears." Nobody cared, and that was the end of that.
Of course, I guess I could have come from another timeline, but even there, people were pronouncing it wrong.
Oh wow! What a fresh new take! What an original idea! Whoa! What an incredibly novel concept! Wow! Finally, someone treading new ground! Gee! So different and unique! So modern! What a trailblazing, untried design! Wow! So brave!!!
It occurs to me that we should push to brand the phrase "toxic positivity" as a "chud" thing. This way, when woke companies try to ask for genuine criticism, their employees will go, "oh, wow, this is just 'toxic positivity' all over again! You just hate women, CHUD!!!" and they will continue to spiral into bankruptcy without ever being able to fix it.
You are working on a game, or novel, or song so that we personally can take over in the wake of their failure, right?
Oh no, not Pride Toronto! NOT PRIDE TORONTO!!!!!!
