Good video, but I want to clarify something: If you talk to most 'Native Americans' or 'Indigineous peoples' in the US, they themselves will often refer to themselves as 'Indians'. It doesn't bother the vast majority of them. They don't see anything offensive or condescending about the term. In my personal experience, they find it goofy and, to some extent, mildly condescending if you call them some of these other, more modern terms instead. I've never had any get angry about it, but some would get visibly annoyed, while others would smile about it or laugh at it. If in doubt, just refer to them by their tribe. That's always a safe bet. Edit: I notice now others have addressed this as well. I apologise if this is a redundant post.

Great stuff! It's true that John William Galt's voice-overs for all the different 3D Realms and Ion Storm games was a little controversial. He played a black vampire hunter in Nocturne and Lo Wang in Shadow Warrior. I can assure you, he did all those voices with love and respect to the fictional characters he was bringing to life. He was a big fan of imagination, and was very proud to have been able to lend such a diverse voice to so many things. In this game, he was the voice of the Grandfather, a few bikers, and the radio announcer talking about the aliens before the SHTF sort of intro. He was my father, and a good dude. Don't let him being a fat white guy born in 1940 Jackson Mississippi throw you off. Racism is all in your head, and disappears as soon as you don't let it get in your way.

I've talked with a lot of natives and they do accept the Indian name because, well, it's hard to do any commerce or work with the federal government without respecting it and the sting is kinda the least of all evils considering how poorly reservations are maintained and supported and their culture appropriated, etc. And in the time since I made this video, I do realize it is not as offensive a term, and in fact is accepted in some part, but it's not the preferred name for those I know, who do prefer "indigenous" or "first nations". It's not worth a turf war or anything, it's not something I've found myself fundamentally offended by for reasons we both understand, but it'll never be a term I use because, well, it's just not accurate.

Prey 2006 is a masterpiece. The engine, the setup, the presentation, the technology (portals, perspective, gravity, scale). It also looks so much better than Doom 3 and hilariously vastly better than Quake 4. It's also more optimized (and less finishky to set to up) than either Doom 3 or Quake 4. If I have to mention 2 single negative points about Prey from a technological point of view, is that Vsync is very input lag heavy and the game is limited to 62 fps with no way of unlocking it (to my knowledge). Would've been glorious in 120 fps. It's also great that Prey, alongside Doom 3 and Quake 4, is also a PC FPS first and a console FPS second. Finished it for a 2nd time in 2021 at 4K60 and it was amazing.

I've loved your content for awhile, I watched this when it originally came out. But are you telling me your 0 budget cat voice over Patreon propositioning was really a net success with the people 😂 Oh my dear gosh.... I won't be a hater, but I'm entitled to a vote. And my vote would definitely have wanted you to just hold your cat in front of your face, say "MONEY WE NEED, PATREON PEEZ". Can't remember this cat thing being in many of your other videos....I may have tuned it out. I might just be getting really intolerant to solicitation recently, whether direct or indirect. Don't worry though, it ain't a you problem, it's a me problem. Only externalizing to give my brain the illusion of some type of personally relevant, considered, social engagement before I work haha. I do really love your stuff, just the way it is, and usually I haven't minded KZbin cat based solicitation, but man I guess today was just the straw for that. I somehow haven't been subscribed this whole time apparently so to make good on my slightly meanie bo beanie critique, I formally subbed and liked the video. I listen when I work most of the time, so I don't always get to engage things how I'd like to ideally. Although I try. Can't believe I hadn't subbed yet though, it's not make or break but my bad! This channel stands above so many of the rest. Thank you for your work. Your cat seems sweet. You seem great, your content definitely is great. Catch ya around.

So, unfortunately in this business of content creation, if we don't ask for something, we don't get it. If I don't ask you to Like and Subscribe - even if it's in a more subtle way than most - the chances of you doing it are less, even if your heart really was in doing so anyway. If I don't tell you that I can't do more of these reviews on a regular basis without your financial support, I don't get your financial support and then I only do 2-3 of them a year, which I absolutely don't want. Same with title/thumbnail. I know exactly what I WANT to call these videos, but doing so ensures that no one clicks on them. So, I get it, I hear you, and thank you!

@@NthReview I appreciate the time and effort you took to reply. It's a bitter scrap for engagement and people's consideration. It was one of the cutest solicitations I have seen in awhile 😂. That's probably what riled me most was how effective it was 🤣. And the fact it was just about 0 budget makes it even better haha. All the best to you! Was not intending to fish for your attention with my own cranky personal rant. Probably would have been best journaled but it was heat of the moment. Trying to live with my cynicism and over saturation lol

it was a launch title for the 360. who bought a 360 on launch? ya you, you either played it and remembered it or didnt and forgot it. if you dont like prey you dont like first person shooters. its mandatory. its abandonware on pc, A.K.A. free. lots of worthwhile mods too.

I'm always pleasantly surprised by your takes in areas where I usually find gamers so obstinately ignorant, if not downright belligerent. But this video really helped explain to me why. Thank you so much for sharing a little about your personal journey. I'm really glad you're here, making these videos and sharing your perspective with us. You are genuinely underrated.

You know, got to say never thought this video would become a lecture on religion.. as in all honesty i think you got off track. Way, way off track in honest as the overall themes of prey is More about using ones Faith to overcome impossible odds. Almost more akin to say a D&D cleric using prayer to banish the evil. Less about intersectionality or atheism as Prey in general Kinda proved that the Crazy people Spouting stuff about Spirit animals and ghost. Well in game they are 100% correct as you literally become a near immortal spirit being. That said on the topic of religion, ya i hate to break it to you but your wrong. As even if you ignore the aspect of community, belonging, Faith wonder and all that. You got to realize the concept of eternal danimation is something meant to Scare us into being good people. As without this type of fear, what are we? In reality we are nothing more then animals. Beings that Shit eat mate and die. Ethics are just a product of your Difference engine that is your brain. Picturing you as the victim and feeling bad about it. So when you think about it, if you can just ignore this. What to stop everyone from just being horrible? From just being monsters? As cave men didn't have issues with doing things we modern day humans would have issues with. Hell entire civilizations were oping to Openly eating each other in ritualistic Combat until Christianity arrived. Look up the Tribes of the Solomon islands. And one could argue that the degeneration of current human society is because of lack of egregious faith. As in the end, our lizard brains are not stupid. They realize if you can Kill some what with no repercussions. Your going to want to do it. If you can Steal something with no repercussions, your going to do it. This is why today criminals are filled with so much arrogance that they will rob a store and then Setup shop in front of it and try to hawk the stuff they robbed. As in the end laws that are not enforced are not actual laws. IF god say thou not steal or else you go to hell. If you believe that is the case, you most likely will try to avoid doing that. As why you might get caught in the real life and sentenced to jail. Their is no guarantee, compared to an all seeing god who knows everything you think and or do. This is why overall Region is better for society. As in the end we are all apes. Apes do horrible things and are known for killing each other. Relegation gives us something in the back of our mind telling us not to listen to the monkey. That we need to be better people that way our afterlife will be better. Instead of, you die you die, nothing matters. As you are nothing more then a mote in the wind. Dust that fades away and accomplishes nothing. You can be the worst person in existence or the best person in existence. The outcome will stay the same.

This game is incredible, I miss having the native tribes represented in media, seems to be fading out of schools and media in fear of "cultural appropriation". Just another example of americans deleting cultures from the world.
