I first saw a message like this on a DVD release of old Loony Toons shorts. The topic of what to do with “problematic” historical things has always been contentious to me as a person who loves history, as well as a filthy libtard cuck, or whatever we get called these days. I think historical context needs to be preserved. We learn so much from history, so removing it also removes are ability to learn from those mistakes. It also colors our current perception of those historical periods inaccurately, which makes it harder to track down the roots and causes of systemic and cultural issues. Presenting the reality with the additional clarification and context that values have changed and should be taken with a grain of salt is, in my opinion, the best way to present anything historical whenever the subject of “problematic” content comes up

O never played any of these games, so I don’t really know exactly how these stereotypes come off, but if you’re gonna release something old into a world with changing sensibilities, this is honestly how I think it should be done. If whatever was in the game was really all that bad, it is important to still remember how we did things. It’s important to remember the past as it was, both the good and the bad

People like this HAVE to believe in some inherent, unearned superiority they have, because otherwise, they’re exactly what they look like they are

And for those who want to know his name, I did the legwork. This is Rain Epler

I just started Disco ELysium and the last thing I did was talk to measurehead. Hot damn is “ham sandwich race” such a good racial insult

I believe you, and that’s the sad thing to me. We’ll let a AAA developer take shitty cost-cutting measures to help keep workers from getting what they deserve, and they’ll get away with it. We’ll get used to shitty AI voices. In the future, some would even look at these low quality voices as though they have a charm to them, like a quirky fondness for 90s Sailor Moon dubs. These are the baby steps, and in the future, if they can get away with it, entire games will be voiced by AI, even written by AI

Videogames are art, and AI can’t create art; AI is artistic inbreeding

Boy I hate it :D

Lovely that the already hella affordable voice actors are getting tossed aside in favor of poor quality. They can talk about how good it sounds all at once, but if they were asked, it’s clearly not good enough
