    Well, reading the actual Kluex Delusion document, it sounds like they're more poking fun at the guy. Clearly Dawkins isn't a good man, but Chucklefish doesn't seem to be supporting his views in any way. To me, it seems they're merely spoofing his name and book title for use in a fictionalized document akin to what he wrote. This Hawkwings guy is made out to be very paranoid and, ironically, delusional.

    Yeah, just referencing the guy's existence for a pun as part of an actually-related-to-the-story element isn't endorsement of his abhorrent personal views.

    A little tired but an Apex villiger saying "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then Big Ape took my family" gave me a good chuckle

    The new weapons shop in Nightly is a pretty funny reference. a pirate themed store called the Penguin Bay (and obvious reference the a notorious torrent site)

    If i'm not mistaken there is also a few Monty Python references in the Glitch

    Also the Ocarina is pretty obvious


    Soon I hope to have something as amazing to me as Terrerria's Plantera boss dropping a guitar pickaxe (Pantera is a famous metal band for those who might not know.)

    There is an Apex hair style very similar to Donkey Kong's.

    Also, I don't think Chucklefish actually support Dawkings beliefs. Like Jonesy said, they pretty much mock him.

    i think it hasnt been mentioned but there is a 2 handed brown sword that when swung fires a technicolor replica as a projectile just like in the original zelda games plus it makes an 8-bit sound when hit

    Huh, never thought that people would actually take offense from this game having an easter egg about Dawkins and his works. The man itself is arguably well respected and known figure throughout the world.

    And a douchebag.
    He insulted my religion multiple times, it's not OK. But the worst is what he told about the abortion and people with Down syndrome.

    Taking offense from the opinions of others, eh?

    Edit: I thought that the reference was funny. And no, I don't support the abortion of people with down syndrome.

    No. Opinion is fine, but insulting someone is not fine.
    Also I'm not hating that reference too, it's kinda making fun of him IMO.

    This could also be a reference to TF2, the Triboniophorus Tyrannus item which in itself is a reference to Futurama, the resemblance to the TF2 item is even more direct than the Futurama one.

    The latest reference I noticed is when crafting Glitch legionnaire's greaves. The description says, "Legionnaires insist people call their loincloth a toga." Someone must've liked the second Night at the Museum movie, "It's not a dress, it's a tunic." :p

    One time on an arid/savanna planet I found a wooden sword which you thrust forward when used that
    fires a sword-shaped energy beam in the direction that you swing it. I didn't keep it though, since it wasn't
    actually that good of a weapon.

    Pretty obviously based on the Hero's Sword from the NES Legend of Zelda

    Of all of the puns I've heard in my life, many of which were made by some quite daft people, that has got to be the single most Daft Pun I've ever heard.
