how the west is partying like it is 1939 all while the US grapples with partying like 1860s
I literally spit out my tea when I read this. I'm laughing because it is so terrible and, from my point of view at least, so awfully apt.
As an aside, this is one of the reasons why I haven't even cracked the plastic on my PS4 copy of Dragon Age Inquisition. I don't know anything about the game, but if it's anything like how Tumblr describes it - which is remarkably similar to the dystopia you described above - it might be a little too close to home for me.
If I'm being super honest with myself, that's probably why I feel more comfortable with Japanese games. It's my impression that they cover many of the same themes that are pertinent to life in contemporary America, like empire and violence against the margins, but they do so with greater stylistic abstraction. What can I say, these things are scary and I am a coward.
