It would be great if more games had a separate language settings between UI, VO and subtitles.
It would help learn a language without missing the key instructions of how to play the game.

Okay hear me out, The Alters but done as a one-man theatre production at a local community theater.
Copious amount facial hair being added & removed, lots of different accents and deep audience driven ethical choices.
Yes it can be done, should it be? debatable.

Israel's longest running newspaper quoting Israeli soldiers outlining a coordinated plan of mass murder of a starving population.
I will never understand how people and politicians have ignored, dismissed and compartmentalized what is happening in Gaza for so long.

There is a real Northern Hemisphere bias in fantasy worlds.
Going North = Colder
Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Game of Thrones, Middle Earth.
Can't think of any set in the Southern hemisphere.

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."
