yeah this is the actual chud-pandering lol

esp. since fromsoftware were hesitant about localizing metal wolf chaos *because* they didnt want to tie it to politics

i dunno theres a significant chunk of change waiting in there. right now its not worth alienating half your playerbase and getting a bunch of bad press but if things continue to get more and more polarized? who knows

i feel like it's easy to divide the world into like 'half chuds and half normal people' but only 24% of the us even identify as republicans and only half of those people are trump lifers, and only like 10% of those people are Online enough to be insanely hard up for MAGA pandering. I don't feel like there's a market big enough to justify it for these big AAA games. A game that has republican sensibilities like SUPPORT ARR TROOPS, like call of duty, sure, but a game that is actually full-on qanon or whatever would never make enough money to recoup any kind of development cost beyond 'two guys programming on a laptop in an arby's.'

Right, AAA is where you go to see strong political statements presented as meekly as possible.

I'm really interested in that cyberpunk pixel game after revealing the original script was "matriarchal society where SJWs ruined everything and basic living allowance makes everyone lazy" because the studio developing it backpedaled pretty hard and make it sound like they discarded much of the original material.

I didn't think the jokes in the Doom trailer were that bad (they weren't good either though) but I dislike that now the top 30 search results for Doom Eternal on YouTube are "ID CUCKS SJWS?"

I'm at that point in the day where I wanna eat something but I'm not really hungry, so I'll eat something really light and unsatisfying that will just make me HUNGRIER than I was before I even ate anything.

my ancient falling apart body can't handle my daily routine of "no breakfast except for a big coffee, big lunch, big dinner" anymore. i eat lunch and i crash super hardcore, and then i don't want to eat dinner. unfortunately there are no logical solutions on how to rectify this problem.

I run 60-70 miles a week and have permanently messed up my perspective on what a reasonable amount of food should be. I eat like a loving glutton and I am still hungry ALL the time.

It's honestly exhausting how politicized even mindless consumer entertainment products have become. Like having a negative opinion of The Last Jedi puts you in concert with a bunch of MAGA chuds who rant for 20 minutes about Laura Dern's purple hair killing their childhood heroes, or thinking the horny character designs in Soul Calibur are kind of juvenile and gross makes you some kind of SJW cuck. It's all so loving stupid and none of it really matters. It's like people have fallen so far away from the processes to enact social change and have been so thoroughly owned by the psychopathic ultrabillionaires who run the world that the only thing we have left to get mad about is pick each other apart for which fast food chain most aligns with our moral standards. Sonic was right, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and I'll take the roast beef combo.
