I'm starting to understand people who take a day off to play vidya, I wouldn't really do that since I'd feel "guilty" or whatever, but I do understand.

Absolum was the best game in the latest NextFest, the steam discussions are packed with REEE WOKE, Menace is looking sick, any /vst/ discussion on it will be sperg outs over it having a black woman, Anno 1800 is the best mix of city builder and logistics sim, people constantly sperg out about the black scholars. I do understand "woke fatigue", especially from a corporate product, but I am pretty tired of the discourse invading every corner I use to talk about shit. I just want to play what looks neat, I have ignored viking themed games because they feature a "diverse" cast, but I also feel zero need to complain about it, I just move on.
