I know I said a significant portion of my piece back when the may wolf originally wrapped up, but I still think that the main meat and potatoes of this vn are worth championing. "Nazis, alt-right bros, and gaybashers are human" isn't exactly a popular sentiment, but I am really glad to see "radical" leftist politics in a game that also includes the validity and importance of reformation! 2nd Shift is such a good piece of work about the importance of how sometimes radical politics and solidarity means working and getting along with people you might not otherwise like. It means giving people a second chance. It means confronting things about yourself that you may not like. And it means finding and building a community. 2nd Shift may not have been the maywolf 2025 game that the people wanted, but I think it's definitely one of the ones the people need.
