Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Swen, Eurogamer gave Baldur's Gate 3 an 8/10 and Bad Dragon Age 4 a 10/10 - what are you going to do and how will you hide the bodies?
Eurogamer hates me, putting pronouns in my game wasn't enough to satisfy their thrist for woke.

But like all of the legacy gaming media, they are on the way of the Dodo.
Who would have thought it will come a day when BG3 will be considered not woke enough.:smug:

I will be re downloading Origins as I said that I will do. Any recommended mods? Also, I will take some dialog screenshots only to compare with Drag Age Failguard.
Advanced tactics.
Skip the Fade.
Extra dog slot(but it will make an already easy game easier).

BG3 has the turn-based combat for it I think even though 5E is shit. The writing however is so cringe it's unbearable. Faggot Age has nothing.

What do you mean by calling BG3 woke, sure it has fags, trannies and bestiality but they didn’t include pedophilia and MAPs.

Can you really imagine a melee combatant being expected to engage in combat at range without throwing away their shield? What would we name such a mythical technology, javelin?

You don't understand - that's because they're real patriots.

And wankers too, as so onomatopoeically revealed.

I vaguely remember his Dragon's Dogma 2 'review' where he apparently 100% completed the game in around 20 hours.

Once I see someone bullshitting they lose any trust they may have accumulated with me and anything they say in the future also becomes unreliable.

I'm not surprised the liar is willing to shill for a large corp.
He's a single mom + ginger, cut him some slack...



See how he moves his head when he talks? Thats a homosexual.

Wasn't there supposed to be T&A& even dick (probably all on the same person) shown in this game? What happened to that?

Tits, ass and dick have been surgically removed. You get a selection of scars in exchange. It's a whole new world out there.

Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
I'm getting the feeling that where ever I look, the troons and their pets outnumber the based by at least 10:1. I thought the pendulum was supposed to be swinging back. There's not a single place outside Codex where you could be safe from their insipid bullshit. They can't be that numerous.

Could this indeed be some kind of media manipulation via bot armies and paid shills, or just a bunch of permanently online social warriors coordinating their attacks?

This is what no one gets here. We are an echo chamber minority just like Resetera but on the OTHER side of the culture war. However! The vast majority of normies are absolute fucking retards and are easily swayed by propaganda. Basically NPCs, they can form no opinions of their own.

So anyone under say, age 40, is a dumb ass consoomer and will gladly consoom product with little thought or care about the messaging. "Things are just this way now" is the extent of their cognition regarding this absurd agenda. That is your blackpill for today, swallow it down you are surrounded by midwits and the brain damaged and it gets worse every decade as IQs drop like a stone.

'To be woke' means that your're either blind to these events that should tell you where western society is headed right now, or utterly complicit.

'To be woke' means that you've awakened to these events that should tell you where western society is headed right now, while its enemies are accusing everyone else as woke to shut down honest discourse.

There is no "honest discourse" when every alternative view is labeled nazi-something

The strongest feeling I have watching extracts, videos, and reading reviews of this game is that the biggest issue is not the appeal and pandering to fringe minorities.
It's the fact that the game is a new avatar of the biggest the West is facing : we've become children, and mass appeal art must appeal to children.
Yes, exactly!

I genuinely expected this to be an eye-rolling wokefest like Concord but it's like... it's evolved past wokeness.

Wokeness is being made obsolete in real time way before we even started to get a grip on the definition.

Watching excerpts from the game, how NPCs talk, how companions communicate, the general vibe of it... anyone's seen One Flew Across The Cuckoo's Nest? Where Jack Nicholson gets in this mental institution where everyone is drugged up into a lethargic stupor, just walking around like zombies accompanied by a calming muzac, smiling at each other with those inane, plastic smiles plastered across their dumb faces. It's so utterly bizarro world that someone made and greenlighted this.

How is women, blacks and gays having more rights a bad thing for western society?

You probably refer to Sinthetic Man. His review will take a while though I guess while he'll figure out how exactly to mince words in order to not get fucking banned there.

Qunari are commie fascists where you have no choice when it comes to anything... Except when it comes to a man becoming woman. Sure, do whatever you want, you go, girl.

Depends the """rights""", the right to get preferential treatment in jobs and be in charge of nuclear power plants with no competency for it? The right to accuse someoen of a crime and throw that person in jail without proper process essentially creating a guilty till proven innocent? The right to create minority only spaces and sue for discrimination whites that does the same? The right to jail priests that say that homossexuality is a sin?

At least you can send his tranny squad to their death and then kill him when he betrays you in the DLC. In trannyguard you can’t even disagree with your companions.

The first part of what you say is absolutely correct. As for the second part, in relation to the first... well to say something of a semplification... what you call "normies" are preoccupied with their life and this means what the gestalt of their world-of-life is - this is informed by what is at the moment common sense, that is a mesh of received education, personal preferences, media you consume (so propaganda mostly in this era; the propaganda was before too, but there was, by necessity, food for who wanted to think) - and is mostly passive, for being uninterested or not capable to put it under inquiry or for social pressure - this also means that their ideas affect consciously their actions much less - hence their "hypocrisy"- "contradictions", in which someone can go, let's say, to church every sunday and act as a shop owner in the most un-christian way possible; or being a middle bussiness owner of social progressive "feelings" but opposing actual social work policies because it means a lessining (or perceived lessening) of your profits.
Echo chambers are formed with militant members, those who adhere to an idea and it informs in an active way their world-view and in this is mostly active. How active it depends, from doing the blog warrior thing to actively acting in your life following their ideals. Whith the price it demands.
Then there are the "agnostic", those who believes nothing (but prodit, power, etc. is a "belief system"), but know how to manipulate those who do.
Those who ask themself the foundations of their thinkings are the less of all.

You're making this all up. It's still blacks, women and LGBTQ+ that are being heavily discriminated by state or corporate power. Your myths that are peddled by libertarians is just white victim mentality to maintain a certain level of systemic inequality. And if someone points it out, he's immediately being shouted down as "woke".
