The dialogue and voice acting are both pretty clearly good... claiming Atomic Heart has better dialogue makes me pretty confused as to where you're come from. Agreed the intro is a punch to the gut to prepare you for how meanderingly slow the game is.
Ultimately though, never play videogames, they are trash, read a book.
It may not be conscious on the part of the white woman in this example, but this type of compliment is doubling as a way for her to give herself a healthy lib pat on the back compliment for being an ally or whatever
Noone yet in this thread addressing how "gooner" relates to any of this lol, or is it just being used as ornamental punctuation to end a series of somewhat related nouns
