It's tempting to romanticise Ye Olde Video Games for their intellectual prowess when you ignore how much more commercial the industry became since the 90s. If you told Planescape Torment devs to introduce cosmetic DLCs or merch tie-ins, they'd probably think you're on coke.
For decades, how many generations of coked-up white boys with dreadlocks rode through the porous border of this itinerary in a Volkswagen, while their countries were laying waste to the continent?
Monsieur, this is the post-1995, Westwood Studios game-inflected canon deviation.
Blade Runner est une métaphore de la condition humaine, écrite par Philip K. Dick.
Le personnage principal pourchasse des androïdes pour les détruire. À un moment, il est gagné par le doute lorsqu’il se rend compte qu’il est peut-être lui-même un androïde.

Zack Polanski will rue the day he alienated this political titan.
One reason Baltic "experts" are mocked and jeered at is that they have an extremely narrow frame of reference, whereby discord flows from Russia if you're a liberal and from Russia and "Islamism" if you're a conservative.
Then again, it's a Hail Mary in that if it sticks, you get some online cred, and if it doesn't, then it at least works as a signal flare for some bloodthirsty cult like Tony Blair Institute to pick you up after you lose your seat in the next election.
"The law as it currently stands" is produced by a timid and eager-to-please state at the behest of an psychotic one - it's not an immutable force of nature or morality.
