I'd rather die of lung cancer at 50 than live to 100 as a Gamer, but that's just me

Idk, I just love how your title doesn't specify how you're going to actually get one, lmao.
If you mean is it worth stealing, absolutely, small, easy to pluck out of the hands of someone on public transport, and theres a big aftermarket to resell to.
If you want to buy one, sure, if you've got 300 bucks to spare and don't have any other immediate needs.
"Poor soft power projection" is just revealed a most blatantly western lens when it comes to assessing a nation's culture. The idea of "soft power" as if its a good thing only works if you see your own cultural artforms and media to be superior to those of others, and subsequently end up supplanting that of a "weaker" culture. US "soft power" only serves to stifle local culture by overshadowing it with foreign US media and norms, and in some cases eradicating the interest and cultural norms of a people (particularly in the youth). Most Europeans all follow the same fashion, watch the same films and listen to the same music, much of which comes from the US, and this is supposedly a good thing? I'd say that regardless of who's doing it, this sort of "power projection" isn't something to yearn for.
Wizards of The Coast, they own the D&D brand
Well, not really, the game was developed by Ubisoft Montreal, with support from various European branches, not that theres any real difference ideologically, but in this case its not the US for once. Which I'd hazard a guess and say is the reason the game is so muddled, if it was by a US studio then it would be much more likely to take a more obvious pro-US stance. What we got just seems to be a jumbled mishmash with no ideological grounding whatsoever.
To be completely fair they also dropped Ukraine.
Also Belarus for some reason.
I recently attempted to try out Heart's of Iron TNO, after it's most recent update. And if you can look past the eye burning UI, It's got a fairly okay storyline with a firmly anti-fascist narrative. Although if you're specifically looking to trash on the US, then for strategy games I could recommend Eugen system's Wargame and Warno series. I remember playing one of them way back in the day, and it was pretty good. They released the latest entry this year, I haven't played it but it seems to have good reviews.
