Ahhh, this mod is from American Krogan. His whole idea of content seems to be race-baiting but in the opposite direction. Get rid of diversity from Fallout for example, then cry victim when the mods ask him why they received so many reports.
I think he got removed from youtube the same way.
Mechanically I love it. It's deep in a way that Baldur's Gate 3 wishes it was. That comes with difficulty for instance. One of the first things I learned the hard way with Kingmaker was the difference between the Blur effect (20% evasion) and invisibility (50% evasion). True sight worked on invis for me but you need echolocation, blindsight or a glitter spell for Blur.
Now with Wrath of the Rightous there is some poz, most notable from Irabeth and Anivia. Good point is that you can kill her if you follow the right path. But more in general, the writing has a wider variation than Kingmaker for instance. For me, I love Regill and Arueshalae, Aru herself is a reason to play. The other companions are okay but you can bench who you don't like. The bad parts of the story come from the beginning which is a bit rough, chapter 2 picks it up and chapter 3 is a blast. The end of chapter 3 is rough, chapter 4 can be confusing and later parts of chapter 5 kinda bombed for me, mainly because of AC 70 encounters and puzzles everywhere.
I do think you should play it though, Have a main commander, Regill, Aru, Ember and a cleric and second melee and you have a decent team.
Protip: There are different mythic paths you can go on, Angel, Dragon, Azata for good, Aeon, Trickster, Lich for Neutral, Devil, Swarm, Demon for Evil. There's also legend which allows you to get to LV40 but not worth it in my opinion.
Kinda spoiler but Angel and Azata have significant content, Azata especially. The game seems to have a bias for. A quest in chapter 1, a new companion and extra influence over Aru. Dragon is a chapter 5 class, not worth it. Aeon and Trickster can influence certain quests and people but don't have as much content. Likewise Lich can make a boner army but outside that doesn't have alot. Devil and Demon have even less content and Swarm is playing alone, wouldn't recommend.

It is woke. I'll provide screenshots for proof. Non-binary options, 5 options of dick, cut and uncut, body types and male and female voices labeled Voice 1 and Voice 2. That's just the character creation. There's no face sliders either, you have the same stock faces. No boob or body slider.
Why you shouldn't buy it is because this isn't Baldur's Gate. This is a Dragon Age game running the 5th edition D&D system. Racial points for races, so Orcs getting +2 strength and Elves getting +2 dexterity? Nope, those are out. Because that's racism. Instead some races get 1 - 3 points to add onto any stat. That was a thing only Humans had, further diluting why bother being human when fantasy races are better.
Second is the removal of Alignment from all dialog. In an example a Tiefling child stole a locket and the owner wants it back. The choice I made was [Monk][Persuasion] Give it back and we all go on with our day. This would have been a good alignment choice but it isn't. You'll get race and class dialog options and skill checks against actions but no actual role playing with alignment choices.
Other things include party members being obnoxious, think the worst of Pathfinder being the standard. Party members also have underwear with sex scenes that make Mass Effect look tasteful. I saw someone use the word "Safe Horny" to describe this game and it really is that. It's got Skyrim mod levels of lewdness added yet it wants that serious Baldur's Gate adventure to draw people in. They want their progressiveness and adventures too. But then they don't do anything with the sex stuff they've added. For example you're infested with a mind flayer parasite you have to roll a few times against but you end up doing nothing lewd with it. This whole game is a mess to be honest.
Never thought I'd see the day when Pathfinder is more faithful to classic D&D than an actual D&D game is. Just because everyone is saying it, doesn't mean you should follow them. Alot of the normies playing it are burnt out from Diablo 4. That should tell you their tastes.
I remember FF having financial issues for years. Guess it finally caught up with them.
It's an 8 - 10 hour cat sim game where you platform around a dystopian environment, It's a neat little game that I enjoyed when it came out. I would pick it up on sale however, it isn't worth $30 bucks.
It also isn't woke, there's a clear art direction with the only people you encounter being robots and not audiologs or the like with gayness from memory.
If you're picking it up for the cat gameplay, I'd grab it for that. There's also difference between playing a game and watching an LP of it.
The Republic was never what was important - ever. It was but a shell that surrounds the Jedi - just as the teachings of the Jedi are a shell surrounding the heart of man. You see, the war, the true war, has never been one waged by droids, or warships, or soldiers. They are but crude matter, obstacles against which we test ourselves. The true war is waged in the hearts of all living things, against our own natures, light or dark. That is what shapes and binds this galaxy, not these creations of man.
If you are to truly understand, then you will need the contrast, not the adherence to a single idea
Kreia has some great quotes.
Every inscription, every utterance, every gesture seeks to dominate the plane of meaning. Real violence is only an extension of this process.
Also Deus Ex
What happens when a Matriarchy is installed Robert? You get women like Wu Zetian, an Empress so bloodthirsty that she poured boiling copper down inside them, coining the term "Bronzing."
Yah, makes for a real good reason why they should have leadership roles.
He initiated contact with you first, meaning he's cold calling you. Pretty sure it's a scam.
I just want you to know this rumor has been floating around for 5 years. Doomcock and his stupid helmet won't let it go because it makes her a face for all the bad shit that flows out of Lucasfilm.

TOP KEK They really did a museum piece on the Kemet movement in America? That's funny.
This game has spent 7 years in Dev Hell.
Having just completed medical after about 5 hours of just wandering around, they get the art-style and the enemies right. Ammo is always scarce though so it's not like Bioshock where you're almost always at full.
For cartoons it'd have to be Shadow Raiders. They have planets that eats other planets, it's like the Gigastructures Stellaris mod as a 90s cartoon.
For anime I was lucky and caught Hunter D: Bloodlust in 2001, then picked up a copy of Mushishi on DVD from a local library.
For games It'd be Age of Mythology and CoD 2.
Those were the days.

Water is an essential resource and it cannot be wasted like this
A thing they teach in remote places is that water conservation is critical. To drain an entire dam just to retrieve a phone that wouldn't even work because yeah, it's obviously water logged is just stupid.
Another version.
Gonna buck the trend and say Yes actually. And I have proof in a place called Singapore. They have a private healthcare system yet have a public purse for medical procedures. They're a dictatorship, yet the country is run profit first with a high standard of living. They have 3 major racial groups, being Chinese, Thai and Indo-asians yet because of subsidized government housing, they're all forced to collectively come together to be known as Singaporeans. In the video for instance, they recently had one of the lowest percentages of approval for the ruling party, it's not an election rather a census measuring how popular they are every time the cycle comes around. Competent leadership results in high numbers, while corruption and inefficiency results in low numbers, but not enough to oust them.
Singapore is of course an outlier. They're rich enough to actually afford socialist programs, which is how the ruling party stays in power. Meanwhile in the west, they have to resort to growing tyranny in order to hold a grip on power and prop up failing social programs by just printing money.
The game is Unrecord, by the way. It's a tactical narrative FPS that uses filters and post processing to make it look like actual bodycam footage. I'd certainly want to play it, looks interesting.
I will admit I've done some stupid stuff while out on the highway. But being on plates and being required by law to slow down, I've seen some stupid stuff happen. Classic examples are Utes overtaking in turn off areas on a highway only for an over taking lane to appear 200 meters ahead. I've had an old couple do that exact same thing because they had to overtake me illegally right there instead of waiting the 200 meters for the over taking lane. I've had trucks go by me at 100 km/h while I'm doing 80 and this is on a single lane highway with no overtake. it's a scary thing because I always think they won't have enough space and they will cut in front of me to turn back.
The scariest thing was me going on a C class road, so really run down road and not 5 meters behind me was a red 4x4 matching me doing 80. Didn't over take, didn't pull back, just sat on my hind. So I indicated to get off onto the side to let him pass, hit a small gravel patch at 40 and skidded off the road on my bike. He sped right past. Luckily I only have scrapes on the bike but that could have easily turned out worse.
There's a reason why I stop at give way signs. Not because I can clearly see it's clear and there's no risk. But because I can't see if another car comes and if it does, I need to be ready for it. Call it paranoia but my instructors in riding school basically drilled situational awareness into you when riding a motorcycle.
Another thing one of my sage Instructors said. There are 3 things you can't prepare for while on the road. Weather, road condition and other drivers. Weather you can mitigate by going slower or even just waiting for it to pass. Condition likewise can be bypassed by taking an alternative route or going slower and being aware. Other drivers though, you can never account for and as such is the one you have to be prepared for.
A really good write up. Thanks for writing it.
Denuvo. That is all.
Checks out.
