    The first scene in this game is the crew driving away from the standard police patrol. On the way police started catching up, and the girl with the skin condition (I forgot her name), suddenly is surprised and scared by the truck in front of her (as she changed the side of the road when she shouldn't), as she wasn't paying attention, which made the truck driver in panic barely dodge their car, and this causes the whole massive car incident that kills several cops and this innocent truck driver dies in an explosion.
    Does anyone comment on the fact that they caused an innocent truck driver and several cops dying? Nope, they only mention cops, and well, the truck driver was just out of luck, not even worth mentioning. They caused a serious car accident killing several people and they don't care. Especially when it involves an innocent bystander.
    This game is like this from what I've seen in playthroughs. A bunch of sociopaths that fail to act like human beings.

    Just for the record for those who don't know. The Steam award farming gives you points, you can then spend those points in the point shop to upgrade your profile in various ways. Like animated profile pictures, mini backgrounds, rank up your profile etc etc.
    This is why the users of Steam forums try. really. fucking. hard. If you hover your mouse over each award, it tells you how many points they earned, I think jesters are 100 points each.
    To earn those points "legitimately", you gain points by spending money in Steam - buying games and DLC's for E.g. Its pretty good, basically a little bonus for spending.

    Yknow, when you make a game and one of the main themes is "the power of words" it would be wise to get a voice actor who can make their words sound powerful.
    I mean literally one of the most popular games ever is about using words as weapons and tools, and the voice actors (both genders) they got for that could deliver those words in a way that sounded awesome. Dustborn has a VC that sounds like a teenager throwing a tantrum, and not even one of the teenagers that is capable of being slightly intimidating.

    So that cope about how the game is totally selfaware and the mc gets called out the entire time for being bossy and annoying is something that internet shouty man Yahtzee Crowshaw criticized heavily in (iirc) his deadpool review.
    Specifically he called out the idiotic trend in writing (in a game released like 15 years ago) of having characters whine about doing shit in a video game as a wink at the audience, (haha, player, we have predicted your obvious complaint and are stroking ourselves showing off how clever we are) and then unironically doing it anyways. That's not satire. That's not irony. It's not even comedy, for comedy has a punchline. That's just you, the player, being elbowed repeatedly by a winking logo that's desperately wishing you'd call it clever.
    In other words, if a character complains about how things are going in a cliched manner, and then things just proceed in a cliched manner following the formula, that's not satire, it's just tiresome. And Dustborne is not being satirical, it's just bruising your ribs and rapidly developing an eye twitch.

    I might be the weird one, but for me, a bisexual woman whose grandparents escaped mao and whose parents escaped from venezuela, this is as exhausting as the... fools portraying a che guevara bust next to a lgtbq+ flag or the special people rallying "queers for palestine".

Definitely very telling when the RIGHT WING REPUBLICANS are on the side of ISRAEL (the israeli people, not Netanyahu), while the communist marxist loving left has had gays being executed and purged because they don't "reproduce for the state". Yeah, let's talk about gay rights but then support a literal FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAMIST TERROR HAVEN lol. Woke people disgust me as much as the alt right. At least the alt right is HONEST about what they are. These woke leftists are so unbelievably ignorant that they don't understand the hypocrisy of the matter.

      Probably because they seem to not realize LGBTQ was hated by everyone up until the 2000s. I think the Russian communist stance was it was a symptom of western decadence. Islam makes conservatives Christians look like hippies. At least some Asian countries aren't totally open to it. It might be because Europeans forced a cultural change but it is what it is. Communism at least in their eyes represents a departure from western norms and one of those norms is a traditional stance on homosexuality so of course communism would be okay with it as far as they are concerned.

There is a pretty big debate in Norway about how the government is just throwing away tax money on insane stuff all the time. Meanwhile the roads are trash, the care for the elders is trash, people are getting less and less buying power.
