True. Some of the fetishization might be deserved, after all black Americans have made a huge contribution to Western popular music in the 20th century. But apart from that I suspect they're just being used as pawns by whites against other whites. After the 20th century Marxists failed to recruit Western workers for their cause, they've instead turned to women and minorities in order to create division in society, all the while pretending to be the women's and minorities' only real friends (they're not).
Even if they are being used as pawns by one group of whites against another, the outcome is going to be terrible for the Western world. Parts of Sweden, parts of France, and a number of American cities provide an insight into what an Africanised West is gonna be like. Demographic change also means cultural and political change. And it's not something that can be easily reversed. It really is a sad state of affairs. Unfortunately I can only see things getting worse.

Finally got round to giving this a spin and I'm enjoying it so far for the most part. The first boss was a bit spongy but the atmosphere, voice acting, sound design and graphics have been excellent so far. I wasn't a big fan of the original (mainly for the repetitive combat) but this seems much more up my alley, although I'm not sure about the headspace mechanic where you magically teleport into an imaginary research facility and come up with remarkably accurate non-evidence based deductions.

I would say that it certainly helps to have played all the previous Remedy games though as the amount of meta-referencing is off the charts.
It's explained in-game as to why she gets non-evidence based deductions later on.

Yep, while whites like Sam Lake watch from a safe distance. All this stuff has been happening for decades, though.
The fetishization of blackness is something that's unique to the white population – the Arabs and Asians aren't doing this.

Arab and Asian countries don't race mix. White nations have been importing other races (mass immigration) for decades, which has led to steep decline as all these cultures don't mix for the betterment of any given country. Instead it creates friction, division and tribal mentality under the surface.
WHY they have been doing this isn't completely clear, but many nations most definitely keep their economy afloat and their populations controlled this way, that much is clear. Divide & conquer.

Another aspect is brainwashing/indoctrination. Constantly being taught to take responsibility for our anscestors sins. Whether this stems primarily from intentional brainwashing by authorities or is merely innocent guilt playing out in culture, who knows. But at this rate it really seems like a political act or power game.

Aspects of this "fetishism" is also warranted or understandable. As an example, Rap & R&B music is catchy and "cool". Generations of whites grew up with this music, it's normal to them, so some reverence toward them is to be expected.

You'll never catch me putting this weird shit in media or advocating for rewriting of our history though. I might apologize on our anscestor's behalf for mass colonization at best, but that isn't me, and further that shit was just the standard way of the world back then. Almost everyone did it if given the chance.

All I am sure of at this rate is western whites (europe and NA) as a culture, peoples and nation are done for, and mass immigration is why. As a whitey, it saddens me my people are to be extinct, especially when so much greatness was achieved, but that's life. Ultimately we got sold out by our evil leaders.

Finally finished this "game". What a fucking drag.

I hope their next offering will be a long ass FMV where the only mode of interaction is a play/pause button. Maybe that will make it more enjoyable to experience at least.

My impression is many "Arab" countries are quite mixed. Not sure how much genetic impact their huge African female sex slave trade resulted in, but there were also lots of slaves imported into Egypt from areas like modern day Turkey, Balkans, etc. I suppose today's guest workers from Pakistan or the Philippines are not allowed to race mix though.

I wonder about China in the future, their Belt and Road Initiative in African countries combined with a shrinking Chinese population could theoretically lead to African immigration.

White nations have been importing other races (mass immigration) for decades, which has led to steep decline as all these cultures don't mix for the betterment of any given country. Instead it creates friction, division and tribal mentality under the surface.

I think the goal is to create a new immigrant working class, so capitalists can keep wages down and socialist political parties can get more voters. Hence the unanimous support, they all hope to benefit.

Whether this stems primarily from intentional brainwashing by authorities or is merely innocent guilt playing out in culture, who knows.

Yes today's indoctrination may come from Marxists at universities, but it's clearly encouraged by both capitalists and politicans. Culturally speaking, maybe the guilt obsession stems from Christianity's obsession with sin? And just like today they've always been hypocrites, like when the British outlawed slavery in the 19th century for ostensibly Christian moral reasons, while at the same time having no moral problems invading African countries.

Aspects of this "fetishism" is also warranted or understandable. As an example, Rap & R&B music is catchy and "cool". Generations of whites grew up with this music, it's normal to them, so some reverence toward them is to be expected.
It seemed much less hysterical when black Americans produced good culture, such as blues, jazz and rock n roll. Current day black fetishism and general race obsession seems to have started after 2010 or so, long after the peak of US culture (I think it's been in decline ever since the Cold War ended).

You'll never catch me putting this weird shit in media or advocating for rewriting of our history though.

And everybody else are proud of their historical misdeeds! They only complain when losing in their own game... We are only responsible for our own individual actions (such as the writing in Alan Wake 2), so anyone blaming say a European for colonialism is just as racist as someone blaming all black people for individual black criminals.

All I am sure of at this rate is western whites (europe and NA) as a culture, peoples and nation are done for, and mass immigration is why. As a whitey, it saddens me my people are to be extinct, especially when so much greatness was achieved, but that's life. Ultimately we got sold out by our evil leaders.
I just think the West has become too spoiled and confused after WW2, especially liberal women seem completely lost. Immigration and its problems are just symptoms of this, if anything based immigrants may help Westerners get back on track spiritually. But expect a few bad decades until the insane lesbians have died out...

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Found a dusty copy of the first game's remaster on my shelf so I gave it a spin.

Where did the popularity of the game come from? Boring, clunky, repetitive combat, not very scary. Story is just some nonsensical mystical bullshit, just some dumb-smart postmodern babbling. Reality is not reality but a book, darkness something something, am I dreaming, am I not? Blah blah blah.

Gimme a fucking break. It was like one of the nonsensical bullshit Kojima scripts, only written by actual professional adults instead of a retarded 8 yo boy in a 50 yo body. Still just a bunch of vapid mystical blabbering about nothing tho.

Art that has to be EXPLAINED!1! and UNDERSTOOD!!1 is not art.

Nobody has to explain to you the Sistine Chapel or the Cologne cathedral are amazing, even toddlers and people with severe brain damage immediately see that.

I don't think they are mass importing third worlders for economic reasons, especially when AI is taking jobs that used to be done by humans. What, for example, are lots of Somalis gonna do for the economy of an advanced European country like Denmark or the UK? These kinds of people end up taking out more via welfare than they put in, to say nothing of their contributions towards increasing the sum of social dysfunction and misery.

Whites need to deal with the “woke” whites pushing the guilt tripping and anti-white rhetoric. It's other whites not non-whites who are often at the forefront of all this anti-white stuff. Your average ghetto-dwelling black person simply doesn't have the power to push all this stuff through the media, education system, etc. It's the affluent woke whites – white people like Sam Lake.

Whites marinating themselves in black culture hasn't done them [whites] any favours. Blacks will still see whites as whites. The rise of BLM. The way a lot of blacks, especially successful blacks, now comfortably express anti-white sentiments show decades of whites flattering and fawning over blacks means nothing. Whites are still seen as oppressors.

I think at the root of all this is a desire among a significant section of the white population to be Africanised and blended out, like the future depicted in Starfield. I think this section of the white population likes the idea of whites being ruled by black Africans and eventually being absorbed into the identity of the black African. Woke whites see this as a form of necessary salvation, a way to rid the world of “whiteness”.
I think whites would do well do to find a way to deal with the woke whites in their populations.
But yes as I've said elsewhere before, the situation that the West faces this century is truly dire. Those heavily black American cities, cities like London (England), and Paris are previews of what's coming.

Yes, it's (((other whites))).
Lol, of course, some of those whites will be of Jewish heritage. But I reject the view that Jews as a group are fundamentally responsible for all of this. It's just a way to conveniently shift the blame onto another group. It's no different to the way blacks blame whites for their misfortune.
Wokeness, feminism, multiculturalism, equality, etc are only possible because of Western man's liberalism. Could you imagine the Chinese, for example, allowing radical blacks to advance and publicly express black supremacist ideas and their contempt for the Chinese while they live in China?

Alan Wake could have been a good game if they had mastered the open world properly. Instead they made Max Payne with a flashlight.

The sequel looks like the previous Alan Wake + more pretending that it has some additional mechanics + ESG.

You know guys, what this thing really needs in order to be properly Lynchean are some high quality Hollywood TITS.

No they fucking didn't.

Oh yes, Max Payne had bullet time. Alan Wake only has corridor levels and shooting.

What a waste.

Lynch movies are fun. They have tits, mystery, humor and a nice dose of violence. The joy of life, even if it can be dark


Alan Wake has that Scandinavian angst. From nothingness we come, to nothingness we go...

Retarded post-modern eurotrash with banal plot points and cringe """art""". And complete lack of tonal consistency. It's like one of those horrible modern French movies where everything is weird for the sake of weirdness.

Reddit soyfags probably shat xirselves with delight when the diverse female protagonist declared "ANOTHER FUCKING WHITE GUY TRYING TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO" about the titular Sam Lake Alan Wake, though.

Also I will repeat myself, but in the world where Deadly Premonition exists Alan Wake is a waste of time

Deadly Premonition sequel seems to make the same mistake as Alan Wake. Being weird for the sake of being weird.
