Can I write the Codex Review? I want to do it in true game journalist fashion, without having played the game. I already have it written, so I might as well share.

"It's shit."

Nothing else needs to be said. If this isn't the review, I would be mightily disappointed.

And then a round of applause broke out as I exited the Starbucks while I handed out signed pictures of Bernie Sanders to all the people who came asking, immediately turned on by socialism.

And that Veilguard's name? Albert Einstein.

"Watching a game is basically playing it" is like saying watching porn is basically having sex.

I mean even if it really happened, who gives a shit? He got some normies to buy the game by showing them some fancy-looking gameplay and lying about the content?

Like woop de fucking do, congrats fucknuts. I can't wait to see those guys' faces when they hit the 10h mark and the retarded dialogue and moronic, repetitive gameplay starts eating away at their soul.

These morons think the reason their game flopped is that they failed to control the narrative around it. As if being a shitty game is just a social construct or something.

They're approaching it basically like they do with gender.

You've never talked to a communist? They don't belive you can apply a measure of value to anything, because value is relative to them. You can only force people to recognize a value(but then it's not a value as we know, they are changing the meaning of words) through struggle session, known as cancel culture this days . That's why they are talking so much about "controling a narrative". That's exactly what they are doing.

Much as I dislike communism, it's about workers and capital, not gender and narrative. Surplus value is a central concept in Marx's Das Kapital.

The left has not been communist since the cold war. They replaced talking about the working class with talking about homosexuality and minorities, and denying objective reality.

That's exactly today's western European and American communists . They are not Bolsheviks, they are the followers of Frankfurt School critical theory teachings. They do not read Marx, Lenin, Trocki or Mao, they read ideological revisionists of Marxism - Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse or Adorno. If you want to better understand what's going on read "repressive tolerance" by Marcuse, that's the key to understand "wokeness" and why things are so fucked up for about 30 years in western Europe and US and about 10 in Poland and why it increases. It's mainstream at universities, especially at humanities. But they don't call it communism ofcourse, they call it liberal:) The fact they have nothing in common with liberals doesn't matter, they took this word and changed the meaning of it. Just as they' are changing a meaning of everything you like - be it games, movies, tv shows, music, literature. There is terryfing lack of knowladge about communism and how it works in western countries. You think communists do not exist since Cold War? They are making your games now and you couldn't even tell :D

In this day and age, though, that's kinda accurate.

This just became about what the word 'communist' means and who owns it, which is the kind of pointless bullshit those "communists" love to argue about.

Thanks for your suggested reading list. I will take a look when I'm in the mood for some psychological self-flagellation and existential despair.

Here's my shitty tier list of Dragon Age characters now that it's (hopefully) dead. Varric almost didn't make it for being a beardless bastard.

Why doesn't Leliana belong in the :bounce: category?

Because she's French.
True Lagole story ahead:
Because of the cool promo art and edgy trailers, I assumed Dragon Age is going for turbodark and naturalistic style.
So when the first gameplay with Leliana appeard, I thought she had some kind of speech disorder.

Turns out she's just fr*nch.
