Drunkard Simulator – Announcement Trailer (www.youtube.com)

Looks like open-world simulator games coming from Finland have one common theme: getting drunk. The competition between this and the previously posted Last Drop is going to be tough. Regardless I am delighted of Finnish culture being represented in games.

Is it weird, or are you applying familiar cultural norms to an unfamiliar culture?

Edit: typo

well, ofc I can only speak on my own point of view, as a finn, the fairly prominent "lol drunk" -memery in games feels a bit weird. If that was what you were asking.

I mean, if you're Finnish, and I have no reason to think you're not, then that's fair.

So now I'm curious: why do you think it's weird?

Just because "when finland -> lol alcoholism", I get that it's a self-deprecating joke and all that, but... we could have other jokes too, maybe? :P

I don't mind the games, let peeps have their fun.

edit: what I called "weird", is probably better put as "...this thing, again". I guess.

I'm not trying to bust your chops or anything. I'm just trying to hear your perspective, and I can see what you're saying. It's kinda like how the "woo, 'murica" stuff gets old after a while for me.

I’m not trying to bust your chops or anything.

didn't take it as such, no worries. We cool? :)

And I bet the whole "'murica" stuff is quiiite a bit more prevalent.

Aaaaanyhoo, feels like these kinda drunklol games are pretty much just youtuber/streamer-bait for cheap giggles - and I do watch quite a bit of gaming content so these things are kinda inescapable. Oh well. Old man yells at cloud. :P

We're cool. Some people come here with that old Reddit mindset, ready to pick a flight (not saying that's you), so just want to continue to cultivate a culture of good faith and charitability.

Yeah, I also watch a lot of the YouTube stuff, and with the way the world is these days, a cheap laugh is sometimes good enough!
