I don't agree with you, but you are onto something.

Your use of "wokeness" is a good description for the way "Woke" is used to keep minorities in their place, c.f. Simpsons writing Apu out, despite dozens of subcontinent ethnicity comedians all openly saying they'd love the role, or streaming companies just stopping access to "problematic" content for an easy headline, c.f. Many streaming services and Community's first D&D episode.

It is shown in people too, usually comorbid with a white saviour complex, where the being seen in the act of "helping" is more important than listening to the voices of whoever is being helped and the actual effectiveness, or desire, for the "help" given.

I wonder how neatly it maps onto a Liberal/Leftist divide... Probably not especially as everyone has blindspots and hangups over Race and Class that can be buried quite deep in the subconscious.

You can't see them without a microscope, duhhh.

That's why they're called MICRO-chips.

I'm more confused as to why the pizza wasn't just passed to her from the fridge.

She is sitting closer than either teleporter module. Guess he just wanted to show off...

... And now I'm wondering why the clothes didn't fuse? Maybe his pants aren't organic material?

Alas the UK has begun outsourcing prisons to private companies like G4S to profit from.

We are ever the worst of Western Europe.

Only lines with voice work for me, even though there are plenty of great unvoiced lines across games. Sorted by game... I think this post certainly puts me of a generation.

"My emperor! I've failed youuuu!"
"Fox, get this guy off me!"
"You're good, but I'm BETTER!"
"Never give up, trust your instincts!"
"IF THIS DOES NOT WORK!"

Honestly one of the most quoteable games ever made.

"Stay a while and listen."

"My hotel's as clean as an Elven arse!"
"Whaaaat?!"
"Tiax shall smite ye."
"Heya, it's me Imoen."

"MASSACRE!"
"Not yet!"
"hyut hyut hyut"

"My fists never betray me!"
"Don't stand behind me."
"I'm gonna sleep well tonight!"
"The feeling... It's... coming back!"
"Good vibrations!"

"Hello brother! [...] I live on in this arm!"
"Laugh, and grow fat!"
"What was that just now?"

Love a good ham. We need more of them in video games.

"I'mma Luigi, number 1."
"Falcon PUNCH!"

"You're going the wrong way!"
"Retired!"

"You require more vespene gas!"
"All crews operational." / "Battlecruiser operational." ?
"En'taro Adun executor."
"I do this for Auir, not you!"
"Your base in under attack."

"So what shall it be? Will you join the Unity or will you die here? Join... DIE! Join... DIE!"

"Doctor required in inflator room."

"[...] to the last place uncorrupted by Capitalism! SPACE!"

I'm too mercurial and indecisive to ever have a definitive favourite anything. So here's three that do well on different metrics:

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
It's one of the strongest first halves of an album ever in my opinion.

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Fond memories, and if you've nothing to do for an hour headphones, the two of you and a comfy chair are still a great way to pass it.

Talking Heads - Fear of Music Probably the album I've listened to most. Lot of big tunes here.

This is where all the rude and lewd graffiti comes in handy!

Or, if you're of a more gnostic bent, half fallen angel, half human nephilim who'd been teaching humans forbidden knowledge, such as advanced metal-crafting and makeup.

Convenience is antithetical to meaning.

About 70 hours, at that time in my life it was normal for me to go 24 hours or so without sleep because I was addicted to WoW.

That time I realised I'd hit 30 and decided to see how long I could go without sleep.

At somewhere after 60 hours I began hallucinating and became convinced that there were elephants inside the walls making them deform.
That was the sign I needed to go to sleep, and I slept for almost 20 hours straight.

It's harder to advocate for destroying things one possesses.

If we want to end Capitalism, not being invested in it is probably more helpful than not.

That said, I have met a fair few people that would fall under the label of "Leftist" that have had small businesses. Although not the hyper-radical left.

My arm hair is like a fish.

Dark on top, pale underneath, and while not as dense as my leg hair it is still very apparent.

I will admit to not noticing it as often in others, but I also don't have a visual memory.

Is arm hair not really a thing for her?

"Ahead a few years" on censorship on hate speech, but look to be decades behind on corporate shill nutjobs (though we're ahead a little on bank shills).

Eastern Europe would be the probable exception, due to the ever threat of Russian invasion.

(As for the Okinawan bases... I think all the sexual assault has something to do with it, beyond the fighting in the Second World War.)

British English has a lot more variance than Yankspeak.

We're more likely to use "help V+ing" than "help INF". An average larger vocabulary, atop different usages. Even with US dominated media eroding our dialects faster than ever there's still a lot of difference out there.

I will need a more specific question to give more response. Are you a non-native English speaker living in the UK?

If the base in Okinawa is famously unpopular amongst the Okinawa locals and a political head ache for the Japanese government, I don't imagine that other bases in less allied countries are more popular.

I know even the bases in Europe are famed for being rough and a blight on towns. (but then so are most British military bases in at least England...)

But Purges are a right wing phenomena to attack society, they'd never be able to off a millionaire.
A day or two before Musky gets on his private jet and flies off to a third country, or a private island or somewhere while right wing hate groups kill off minorities, leftists, and political critics.

I remember Maro saying when BLB came out that with modern game speeds 7 was the preferred number after all (originally, post Onslaught they felt 7 was too low iirc).

With BLB in Standard at the mo and GY being an ever-present matters thing now, I can see why it'd be on some cards.

We acknowledge that the game is a work of fiction. Historical fiction, but fiction none-the-less.

If every fifth character is also black, I think there is a point that can be made about verisimilitude and taking liberties; but since we know he really existed and that there has been debate on what he did, having a work of fiction that portrays him as a samurai under Nobunga doesn't seem unreasonable.

To compare, we know that Leonardo Di Vinci didn't hand out guns to people or build functional flying machines - but we know he designed all sorts of stuff ahead of its time, so it kinda fits in a fictional story with him in.

But only one of those seems to draw huge amounts of complaints online... And it's actually the less historically accurate one.
