This is exactly the kind of long form content I love watching. Thanks for sharing!

To some extent the majority of JRPGs fit into this trope. It's a long running joke that it isn't a JRPG if you don't end up fighting a god with the power of friendship.
I never expected to feel old on a comment about Michael Jackson, but here we are. Man, I can't believe it has honestly been that long.
"Trump just finished the first episode of Fallout on Prime, confuses it for a strategy" - better headline. Serously, if it weren't for the fact that this clown is president-elect, we would have collectively ignored him a long time ago.
Yeah, I suppose Rammstein were actually a bit optimistic with that line.
That's really hard to source honestly due to the nature of proxy wars. The list I provided does include large conflicts in which the US was a beligerent in some way, shape, or form, so not just wars. For example, it includes domestic conflicts the US never flagged as wars such as the various campaigns against the American natives, the invasion of Mexico and a whole bunch of others lesser known ones.
pushes glasses well akshually....The US was not involved in an armed conflict from 1795 to 1798, 1805-1810, 1815-1816, 1828-1832, 1924-1939, 1961-1964 and finally 1975 to 1982. Out of the US' 248 years of existance, it has enjoyed 38 years of official peace.
Isn't the original line "sometimes war"? Or am I misremembering the lyrics.
This would've been a better joke if you changed "lockdown lunacy" to "a restriction not imposed by the government they were protesting" or just "a wild array of conspiracies mostly regurgitated to them by social media".
I was gonna mention Bugsnax, but you beat me to it. That game starts so innocent.
The DLC for that game was a trip too. Highly recommend checking it out as it really added to Alan Wake 2 for me.
There is an argument to be made that neither Dagoth Ur not the tribunal are strictly speaking "gods" by Elder Scrolls' definitions. They have godlike powers thanks to the heart, but they are referred to as false gods by all the Deadric gods you interact with.
Heck, the main quest is basically Azura using you as her vessel to expose the falsity of the Tribunal's claim to godhood.
Although, if you go one level deeper and you buy into Vivec actually achieving Chim, then it could be argued he is at least as godlike as Talos (who used his understanding of Chim to retcon the actual history of Tamriel). Which is another can of worms, because his godhood is also questioned and the whole reason his worship was outlawed in the white-gold concordant....
Oh Elder Scrolls lore, how I love your convoluted nature.
