Yep, that’s raising the rating if true, I just have to find the patch notes or dev posts, assuming they mentioned it.

I did a quick look myself but I couldn't find anything about it. It probably wouldn't be something that would be widely reported, though.

Pacific Drive so if it detects that you've removed the pride and BLM stickers the game won't boot to the main menu.

This to me, however, sounds like it could just be a outdated mod causing a CTD.

The only thing I could find with a quick search is that the studio behind the game stand behind its decision to include the flags and won't remove them.

I randomly picked this up at a thrift store awhile ago and never got around to playing. Is it good?

You bet your ass bucko. It's pretty damn good. There are some drawbacks though like only being able to carry 20 items or so. I think the game is pretty well paced and battles are engaging. The translation is a little rough but it's got that mistranslated charm to it.

Thought I'd check my work since I don't want to seem just like some salty bitch when it was my own fault, I just tried a few mods that have not been updated since 2024 (I know removing the fag flags worked back then). Not only does the game boot up correctly, but they all work somehow. These mods increase the size of inventory items, backpack space, and give tools infinite durability. The only mod that does not work is the one that removes the flags, if the game has that mod loaded it goes through all the intro splash screens then stays stuck on a black screen without going to the main menu.

To just play a bit more devils advocate here, to me at least the other mods you describe don't remove content, just change some values, where as the flag remover does remove content. Modding can be very esoteric and I can see a world where stat changing mods work across versions but a mod that does something as simple remove items from a list causes a CTD after a few patches.
While the idea of a dev team creating a system to detect if someone removes pride flags from their game and causes a CTD is very funny, I think Occam's razor does come into play here, it's more likely it's just a mod issue.
 
If you could actually find the assets and substitute them with otherwise identical assets (like Nazi flags or crucifixes or whatever), it would have to be actually making sure the fag flags are there not to come to the main screen for that.
 
I'm sure there's some kind of Saudi Arabia patch for Pacific Drive, like that one Spider-man mod that got banned from the Nexus, that just replaces the gay nigger flags into something else because Saudi Arabia not being pro LGBT.

is it unreal engine or what? because it probably has a saudi arabia flag in there or it does by localization.

They fired this freak, the head of FF14's localization who may have been involved in the "writing" and VA casting of the latest expansion, which has been an unmitigated disaster and basically has set the MMO back 7+ years (if not outright killed it):
Click to expand...
The problems with FF14 probably are a lot deeper than just the westerners fucking with it, such as the constant fujo pandering but still, this is nothing but good news.
Still won't make me sub again though.
Also as much as it might seem like them purging DEI shit keep in mind Square has a history of nuking their western employees/studios and casting the blame on them whenever they lose money due to their own dumb decisions. So it might just be that, of course in this case it was the right move regardless.
 
Space shooter Chorus is definitely Medium (gave up after an hour when a side mission mystery meat strong independent waman who need no man mentioned "her wife"), but more offensively it's Low IQ. Whoever wrote it has no inner monologue, but knows that actual humans do, and tried to emulate it by making the female lead's inner monologue be an annoyingly loud whisper. It's distracting that whenever she thinks to herself, it's presented as this low effort ASMR of a shaven head bulldyke.

From what I remember I don't believe so. It IS a furry game though so hrmmm...
Aside from maybe the dev team or team members, I don't think the game itself is woke.
Fun game though, one of those lose your friends ala mario party type games. Really unique and fun (It's a digital boardgame)

I say it has some wokeshit stuff in it; a number of female characters are mostly shown to be psychos or "strong and independent". These include Griotte (a schizo deathfat rat lady who's implied to be a cannibal), Scarlet (fox bandit clan leader who's default personality trait is "smug" and is implied to be trying to make the country semi-communist), River (independent and "strong" wolf ranger who's sole character traits are that she hates her prince and legit has to be told what to think according to the books), and Magna (captain of the wolves' Iron Guard and implied serial killer who's looking to take control of the country because she hates men). The lore also indicates that every time a female has become leader in the country, they'd consistently try to run it into the ground. So, there's that.

There's also a random event in-game where the characters can basically have G-rated sex with a horse spirit; i.e., the spirit turns into mist and "fills every part of the character's body with indescribable pleasure". Including Barnaby and Ghor, who're both implied to be somewhat younger (though still implied to be adults, mind). Can't quite confirm the exact details, and the event is comparatively rare compared to other plot points.

I'd say the game probably deserves a Mild/Medium ranking, personally. The community's a fucking Heavy, though; nothing but a bunch of furfags fetishizing the above female characters, particularly Magna (who's character basically screams "dyke", ironically), to the point where parts of the community will legit mass-harass you if you say anything positive about Thane (wolf prince that both River and Magna hate for dubious reasons).

based etc.
I'm not shocked that the fox girl is such a stereotypical, by-the-books fursona. Fox is smug, next you're going to tell me if it was a lewd or mature game she'd be horny all the time.

She might actually be someone's fursona, from what I can tell.

Scarlet's backstory has her being abandoned by her father - apparently getting lost via a drunken bet - and somehow managing to claw her way to the top of the bandit cell that bought her. From there, she was able to successfully unite all of the different bandit clans of Armello under her rule as "The Bandit King" (more on that later), and kickstart a revolution to overthrow the maddened king with the assistance of one of said king's former knights, an expert thief, and a fisherman who may or may not be an eldritch cultist. She's also revealed to be the one that got the 4 Great Clans involved, manipulating events so that all four of the groups would engage in a civil war with each other as well; Scarlet's end goal is to take the throne for herself and apparently dissolve the clans to unite them under her banner.

Her whole characterization feels just a bit too... out-there, really. She's not entirely villainous - I think the writers were trying to go for a female version of Disney's Robin Hood with her, really - but her whole backstory is a bit much, being this ridiculously competent leader capable of manipulating everyone flawlessly. Her general personality being this smug prick that's always ahead of everyone, as well as this basically perfect leader of the Bandit Clan that's also able to easily recruit others to her side... it reeks of self-insert. All the rest of the cast of characters feel comparatively more grounded, but Scarlet just feels... out there. Seriously, what's with foxes always turning into Mary Sues?

I admit that I don't hate her, but... well, she's not my favorite.

As for the "Bandit King" bit I mentioned, it has to do with the aforementioned "queens tend to ruin the country" bit; the stigma of that means that most female powerplayers hesitate to refer to themselves as "queen", since they have so many negative connotations. Relatedly, the fact that Magna is openly calling herself the future queen - along with the country's most negative rulers all being female wolves - says... well, it says a lot.

Anyways, that's all I got on her; there's probably a few bits that I missed on her, as I haven't read the novella for her just yet, but what I've read so far isn't appealing.
 
Game: The Wayward Realms
Developer: OnceLost Games
Score: Mild (Unreleased as of writing)

Reason: Developers has stated on Steam that there will be "more than traditional, straight characters" in the game since it's "human nature" and that sexual orientations "of all kinds" will be noted in the lore if it's appropriate for the time period, but claims that it won't involve modern-day politics nor will it dictate the quests or stories presented to the player. Whether or not it will reflect in the final product remains to be seen.
