Yes, God of War is set explicitly in the realms of Norse mythology, but Alan Wake and Alan Wake 2 draw heavily from it as well (as does Control to a much lesser extent). Remedy is a Finnish studio and they heavily incorporate that into their games, particularly in their modern shared universe.

I love FF, and i’m really happy that SE got the resource to make the trilogy the way they wanted to. Truly, i love these games, and couldn’t be happier with them.

It is easier for some to believe they are being personally targeted by a shadowy global conspiracy that is simultaneously a minority position and yet also all powerful, than to accept the world left them behind and they need to change to catch up.

I enjoy articles like this so much, but it continues to dance around pinning any of these individuals in the discord down about WHY they would be upset by the inclusion of racially and sexually diverse characters. Anyone with half a brain knows these claims of “forced DEI” never pan out because that’s just not how…

So in other words: bog standard fascists

And let’s be honest; how many of these edgelords do you think spanked it to Judy Álvarez from Cyberpunk 2077? Even after they found out that she was a lesbian (or were more likely because of that fact).

Likely the same incels who scramed about Tifa’s tits not being big enough in Remake.

The people that thought a fucking pride flag in the Hall of Justice was Suicide Squad’s greatest problem are the people currently trying to push Sweet Baby as the newest “woke” boogeyman. Pro tip, Suicide Squad’s biggest problems weren’t a scary flag or Harley turning down her old costume, it was that Suicide Squad…

When they proclaimed that football was too woke I knew for certain they had really jumped the shark

Saga being a Black woman is perfectly integrated into the story and even adds to the story during an early investigation scene.

being a conservative/reactionary gamer sounds miserable, not allowed to enjoy anything, wouldn’t want to be woke.

It makes more sense if you assume these “movements” are largely bolstered by teenage edgelords.

There is something wild about claiming a character that looks straight out of a hentai is “tradition.”

I’m still annoyed about how ‘woke’ has been taken out of context for agendas in the first place.

Tear away enough layers and its almost always people who want to be able to ogle/do upskirts of Asian and/or blonde female characters of roughly 1 or 2 body types.

You know what? Even if it were pushing a woke agenda, I'd be fine with that. We have had enough machism, jingoism, chauvinism and racism in our games.

Nintendo is unfortunately in the right. Emulators break the law by allowing piracy. not up for debate. yuzu’s monetization sealed their fate

It’s hard to take the digital archiving thing seriously when it feels like it’s an excuse many people trot out to justify keeping an ecosystem that’s primary and overwhelming use is piracy.

Except Nintendo’s lawyers probably do more than read Kotaku

I actually don’t mind the flavor, but the fact that they have more fat, sodium, processed ingredients, and they’re more expensive than regular meat makes their existence mostly pointless, especially when I can just buy Morningstar Farms Grillers instead.
