2 picks for me: Stardew Valley, most boring shit ever, I don't see the appeal, seriously how the hell did that thing sold 20 million copies?

And Witcher 3, I own that game since 2019 and I regret buying it, funny thing is that I've finished Dragon Age 1 and 2, which are kinda same genre but I actually enjoyed those games. I guess the old BioWare sauce carried those games unlike Witcher where there's nothing to enjoy in its massive pointless world.

Frankly, zombie movies have much more to say about modern life than other genres.

Only if you see the world through the same white supremacist lens that is so prevalent in (so-called) "prepper" communities.

If they focus on white people more, it’s typically

You mean it has nothing to do with the (supposed) "threat" posed to white middle-class Americans by all these "othered" peoples? I wonder what would happen if we were to replace the word "immigrant" with the word "zombie" in US main-stream media - would it make it any different or would the propaganda work pretty much the same? You need me to remind you how US authorities treat marginalized people during natural disasters?

But you have by no means established that Fallout made ghouls as racist stereotypes.

I don't have to... the games pretty much does that all by itself. The relationship between humans and these "ghouls" in the games is a perfect representation of the "race relations" lens through which white liberals view the subject of white supremacism - which is, not concidentally, the furthest liberalism will allow discourse on white supremacism to go.

We have them now, everywhere.

Lol! So what's the name of yours, then? Where's your "tribe," Clyde?

You were aware that it's literally peak white supremacism to simply assume that everybody living in un-colonized spaces exist in (so-called) "tribes," right?

Nor frankly, have you demonstrated that you speak for Native Americans.

No go, Clyde - you don't get to deflect from white supremacism by using Native American folk as camouflage.

Wow. Just think. You typed all that for nothing. What a waste of your time.
