baldur's gate 3 was woke until it was a huge success, after which it always was gonna be one because it was anti-woke (until it, again, wasn't, because it has gay sex that you can get into by not paying attention to dialogue)

sexual harassment towards viv is becoming disturbingly normalized and rewarded on the other app by ppl who claim to be progressive because i guess harassing someone into admitting they're an sa victim isn't enough

This week, on #BacklogDialogues, we start up Episode 2 of Umineko, Turn of the Golden Witch.
We have to go through some setup to start, but unlike Higurashi, things diverge instantly, and we get some very different setup we never saw last time. Umineko, in my opinion, has much better pacing.

If you wish to win in a game, you should probably learn the rules and pieces first. This week, we take a moment to look at the lives of a few of those pieces - the young lovers and the pain their differences in status cause them. #backlogdialogues #whentheycry #umineko

Not related to anything but I sometimes think abt how one of the stated reasons why Kaizoku subs left nakama as this untranslatable word with no appropriate English equivalent was because "comrade" sounded Too Communist

You see amazing things on this app sometimes.
"If you criticize the democrats, you're helping republicans." I check the account, self-described liberal boomer, has "LGB Rights" in their bio.
Why even bother trying to pretend you're not a republican, my man?

It’s really being used heavily these days as a call-and-response for shitty people; just a quick test to see if you’re dealing with someone who is equally fed up with the expectation that you treat human beings with basic courtesy.
I really think that even most people who think language policing was a huge problem over the past 5-10 years have no patience for the disgusting little freaks who have tried to bring back "retarded" as a slur. It's just so low-rent and such a tell that the person using it is not worth your time

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
