Yeah, if he were whistleblowing on, say, a company that makes concrete pipes? I wouldn’t believe there’s a conspiracy.

Zero point in mentioning BG3 in this article as it has nothing to do with it.

I mean, TikTok is also the best source of information about the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, which is likely the reason why the US government is suddenly fast-tracking its ban — gotta keep that pro-Israel banner flying! — but sure, the funny game videos are also nice.

Ohh, won’t someone think of all the BG3 fans that don’t know what the Forgotten Realms are?

For the people who talk about TikTok like it’s a security risk, TikTok is no more a security risk than any other social media app. Meta and Twitter sell your data all the time. The real reason the U.S. wants to ban TikTok is because they want the money it generates and younger generations get their news from the app.…

Oh stop. Your own government collects just as much data on you from your phones in a daily basis. But because its China oooh scary.

Thats the funniest part. I watched the clip where rogan explains how much access tiktok wants on your phone and rhe whole time I sat there thinking this is the kind of idiots we’re dealing with because if people actually reac the t&Cs when they installed things they all have almost the same access.

LMAO I wish China was a threat to our way of life considering it fucking blows, as does the ‘global order’. I wish TikTok was even 1/10 as powerful as you people claim it is. How about we fix the pressing issues in our own country before crying that a foreign country might have something more appealing to offer. The…

lot of people shitting their pants over the chinese having their data but don’t seem to care about their own government’s collection of data which they could ACTUALLY USE AGAINST THEM. american fear of the chinese is so hysterical

I shot down a guy who was posting incredibly stupid Warhammer 40K memes on Steam about how Warhammer was being “ruined” by “woke leftists”, just a very casual drive-by comment which I should have been too mature to make, but it was such an easy target, and my god the TEARS. Dude basically had a breakdown because I…

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.

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.

The Steam forums (especially Off Topic) are absolutely buried in these people. Every new big game that comes out, the “is this game woke?”/“this game IS woke!”/“hope it fails”/etc posts get more traffic than the ones talking about the game, starting a couple months before release.

The fragile egos on display in that discord are something else. Even if a company is trying to “inject diversity,” as they say, why is this a bad thing? Historically we’ve not been very good at that. If we can bring diverse representation into our games such that they better reflect the diverse reality of the…

Ah, another movement of incels, manbabies who fear the world, but feel they deserve to own it. Kind of explains their views of how women should look like.

Let’s face it: the main reason these mouthbreathers are bent out of shape about Saga Anderson being Black is because of the use of Norse mythology in Alan Wake and in her character’s story arc particularly. It’s barely veiled white supremacist nonsense.

I get super gamer gate vibes from this entire community and the level of moronic conspiracy is just bogglingly stupid. In a few comments against a YongYea video I saw people claiming that Sweet Baby developed over 90% of Suicide Squad. It’s so incredibly stupid that it make my head physically hurt

All three of Tom Moore’s Irish folklore movies really should be on this list. The Secret of Kells is a masterpiece, but the other two are just as good; just beautiful works of animation better than anything the big studios produced in their respective years.

+The Secret of Roan Inish, The Boxer, Calvary, The Butcher Boy, Song of the Sea, Wolfwalkers

Don’t sleep on the other two in the trilogy. All 3 are beautiful and wonderful in their own way.
