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.

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.

“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).

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?

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.

That’s a potentially interesting definition.

Dream Daddy, the daddy dating sim isn’t a woke game in this context because the conceit of it being an LGBT friendly town with a bunch of single gay dads makes it all make sense.

But a game set in 1300s Japan with a lesbian white protagonist would be woke because that seems incongruous?

I read it as these two questions:

1. Which controversial sentence said over public broadcast media do you disagree with the critiques of?
2. Which controversial broadcast sentence do you come closest to agreeing with, even if you don’t think it true and hate yourself for even contemplating as true

Don’t know if I’m right or but that reading makes most sense to me after a couple of passes and some thinking.

[Map Men / Jay Foreman] (https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCbbQalJ4OaC0oQ0AqRaOJ9g) - fun, painstakingly produced educational videos about maps.

Yhara Zayd - Not too long media analysis. Especially of Horror and through BPoC lens.

Andrewism - discussions about Anarchism and organising from Trinidad.

But Dragon Age was never good, either.

The first one was mediocre at best with some good ideas, and it was all downhill from there.

The writer here, rereporting another interview seems fairly Musk tolerant.

RDJ probably is too. But at least he’s calling him on a few things.

Fair enough.
Be the change you want to see and all that.

I personally love the mad spelling, but I can understand that other folks don’t.

They’re old English letters used for writing the two different “th” sounds English has, which are fairly rare phonemes.

It’s certainly simpler, I’ll give you that.
It takes too much mental energy to read that document.

May I ask why at all?

You’re absolutely correct.
I’d also add that while they exist, it is also with fewer food and water poverty/access issues compared to favelas since they’re rural rather than urban spaces.

As someone has already pointed out, the election that Hitler did well in causing his appointment to Chancellor was one with a high abstention rate - especially from Communists and Socialist who chose moral purity over voting against Nazis.

You do you. But your crusade on others trying to hold off a second genocide against migrants of colour and LGBTQI people in the US doesn’t seem the best outcome to me.

Unless you know a third candidate that won’t persecute people in the US and will also end support for Israel.

I don’t conflate voting for one of two options with consent or endorsement of all their actions.

This is why the whole system needs to change.

Can it be done before the next president’s term starts? Unlikely, so maybe we need to hold our noses and vote against Netanyahu’s preferred candidate.

There is a baseline of quality that is hard for a plucky individual to match outside of mono-medium media.

While it is possible for good video games to be produced by a single indivudal or very small team, it is a lot of work on their part and hard to do if worried about paying for food, rent, etc.

Filmic media (is there a good noun that joins movies and fiction TV shows as a unified object?), a solid level of difficulty above that.

Or maybe in a post-modern world we use (mostly empty) signifiers to give ourselves meaning and show allegiance to a subculture.

Its why we pepper our speech with allusions and cultural in-jokes - but where in the past they were tied to more concrete ideology, now they are simply signs that one has consumed the same media as someone. And the existing signifiers have more cultural clout than new ones, except to signify an interest in non-mainstream cultural products.
For the self has become simply a vessel for consumption. There is nothing beyond the consumption of product.
Especially as public allegiance to a non-neoliberal ideology is seen as uncivil. Unsurprisingly more peaceful Left-wing ideologies less civil and more incorrect that violent far Right ones, because the Left will always be more critical of consumption as the purpose of life.

Despite being wrong, Fukuyama’s inflammatory title has polluted the mind of the Anglophone and European cultural zone.

Do you plan to do all digraphs, or just th?

Will you split out the different vowel phonemes to their IPA?

I’m just intrigued by the thought process behind your choice of typed characters.
