I know a guy who worked on Alan Wake 2, the guy is a nazi. The DEI criticism of the game is endlessly amusing to me as a result.

It was made to resemble a crocodile but the architect had never seen a crocodile. Let's be honest about our history.
Sorry I just checked and saw all the demon names (in particular lügner) and was convinced, so i edited just as you posted.
And it's like... all the names? I don't think a single name I've seen so far isn't just a random German word
Danish uses laryngealization as a suprasegmental phoneme.
In other words Danish differentiates between words based on the absence or presence of an intensified "creaky voice" or glottal stop. In other words, whether or not you use an intense vocal fry (For a single vowel sound) changes the meaning of words and sentences. This phenomenon is called "Stød". We differentiate between a word that has Stød and one that does not with a D (Sometimes). Technically the D is silent, instead marking a modification to another sound we don't have a letter for. (Or in the case of specifically the word Mads, marking the absence of such a modification)
Edit: it's like how in English you can change the meaning of a word through stressing a syllable, but it's vocal fry/glottal stop
The easy answers is that the D modifies the A sound, the full answer involves teaching you about aspects of phonology that Danish shares with like indigenous Mazatec people, podcasters and like nobody else.
It makes total sense not to be able to make the Ø sound (Å is just the O in "go" and Æ is just the E in "Then"). That's totally understandable. I'm just making a joke about the hypocrisy of my annoyance over Anglos feeling the need to insert totally unnecessary sounds into words, while also doing the same when speaking Greenlandic even after years of practice.
It's pronounced exactly like the word Mass!!!
I never played this, this seems cool. I got it pretty quickly though since

American trying to pronounce a Scandinavian word with like 4 letters: Hørglbspørgldørgl.
Dane trying to pronounce a Greenlandic word with like 10: weird hissing sounds and a gulp for some reason
It's me, I'm that second one. But also the next time I hear an American say the name "Mads" I'm going to commit a felony.
She's not sedna. If she's sedna then they needed to ask any of the Inuits on set what was up. At best her treatment of her sister is an analogue to the way the angakkoq cares for the ocean goddess and washes away the filth left by others.
YES! Finally! A question that I know something about!
Okay so the actual owner of this company (The greenlandic arm anyway) is Ittu Julius Konrad Karl Heinrich Lilliendahl (Yes that is one name, it's Greenland that's just how it is) who used to do event coordination stuff (And they're going out of business because he fucking sucked at it) and runs a taxi cab company. The reason this is being sold as a green initiative is because that way you get certain benefits from the government.
Their argument is twofold 1: They argue this isn't that bad carbon wise because a lot of shipping containers are empty because of the Greenlandic trading imbalance so this actually makes sense and 2: It's water you guys, that's eco stuff
The guy in the picture is a part owner (like 5% or something) who used to (I don't know if he still does) work as an engineer/handyman/landlord for a company that rents out apartments, does mine engineering consulting and minor construction work called 60 degrees Greenland.
If it gets accepted as a Green transition company it will be done because it's not a fishing boat. Greenlandic corporations have tried selling mines as part of a green transition, it's nuts and I hate it.
My great grandad was a nazi collaborator, so it could always be worse. Luckily not in any huge capacity. He just got paid as a day laborer to help them build stuff, but it's still pretty bad.
