Instead of “s/he is” you can say “they are”, even though it’s singular. “They” is the preferred pronoun for any situation where gender is unclear or (usually, but not always) for non binary people.

I’m sorry it was me. Now I transitioned so I’m the one in the bottom picture too 😎

If the purpose of a system is what it does, then it seems the purpose of democracy is the self flagellation of the masses.

Yeah the track pads are so cool! I don’t use mine much, but for RPGs with a lot of abilities being able to setup little touch menus is indispensable. Considering the deck has the same interface it makes complete sense for docked mode to have an equivalent device.

One downfall of what I only hesitantly refer to as modern feminism (although really I’m talking about terfs and the terf-adjacent) is that it has painted men as dangerous by default. I’m also a trans woman so I’ve seen both sides of the coin, too… I do feel less safe now, this is true. Many things were easier when I was living as a man. But I was never dangerous or an abuser.

Nonetheless, a former partner used accusations of abuse against me and turned so many people on me. The only ones that stuck by me were former romantic partners, who knew the accusations couldn’t have been true. For everyone else, it was so easy to accept that a man - even a clearly gentle one - would be an abuser.

In reality I’ve been a victim of abuse - physical, emotional, sexual… All long before I transitioned.

I gotta agree, I tried 4 or 5 times and just never got into it. Doesn’t help that I’m not great at party RPGs, but yeah the story was slow and I remember being unimpressed with the dialogue options… It always felt like you were kinda pushed towards and inevitable outcome rather than really influencing things.

I don’t think that making a selfish in game decision means the player is selfish. You might just be curious about how the story pans out. Maybe you want to do it both ways. I’ve played thieves and murderers in RPGs, I’ve lied and cheated my way out of situations, I’ve blown up Megaton… But these don’t really reflect my real self. I’ve often done the opposite, too.

Oh my, it’s a good thing I wasn’t drinking when I read this. My upholstery would have been ruined.

Huh. I had no idea you could play it in VR. Doesn’t really seem like a game which would be at all enjoyable in VR tbh, too much movement - especially vertical and sudden. I do not enjoy the idea of facing a creeper in person lol

“Lovercraftian” is a fun typo. I’m imagining developing a casual fwb relationship with Azathoth. Taking Cthulhu for a long walk on the beaches around R’lyeh…

And yet here you are SOCIAL networking. CURIOUS!

Or perhaps accusing someone of short changing you based purely on the sound the coins make on the counter.

Whoah. Holy fuck ants are cool. Might abandon my career and become and entomologist.

2 beats per second, just right to imagine a ticking clock to.

Just spend all of it on trains/trams and give the roads to the cyclists.

I made a robot which is delighted about the idea of overthrowing capitalism and will enthusiastically explain how to take down your government.

Not just plausible, preferable!

Doesn’t need direct controller support, just a suitable steam deck controller layout that works well I think.

I truly hate seeing people get banned for questioning a viewpoint. How weak are your opinions if you literally won’t answer questions about them? Of course there are bad-faith rhetorical techniques that involve asking questions, but people wanting to learn should never be turned away.

I appreciate this, I really do, but you do have to be careful not to end up like certain leftist Reddit subs where I got banned for the heinous crime of suggesting that voting for Harris might produce better outcomes than voting for Trump. Some level of discussion that goes beyond what the majority (or, lbr, the mods) think has to be allowed or you just have an echo chamber.

Granted, that isn’t what is happening in the comic. The apologist here is genuinely advocating tolerance of Nazis. This situation is appropriate.
