Shhhhhh!

I would say these are slightly irritating. Not mildly infuriating in the way that people who use nonsense terms like "eco-fascist" are.
Anyone sane understands that "be gay do crime" is not inciting criminality but obviously statement of opposition to unjust cultural norms.
Similarly "killing people makes nature alive" obviously seeks to highlight the current incompatibility of human goals with the needs of all life on the planet (including humans).

That tracks for me - the female VA gives a lot more emotion, there are some scenes that legit stress me out. Two violent guys vieing for control feela less tense than a guy slowly taking over a woman's mind.
- Comment on Wake up, we've got a CEO to kill 6 days ago:
I used to play about equal m/f characters but i've gotten increasingly bored with male characters.
I never play as me though, i'm always constructing a headcanon, backstory and playing very writerly.
Over the last 10+ years or so i've just found boy stories more and more boring. I think the last game i seriously enjoyed as male was ME2, coincidentally with a keanu looking sniper type.

You'd think right? But femV has panam romance dialogue in the game that's just locked off unless you're male-bodied. I believe vice-versa is true for judy romance.
- Comment on Wake up, we've got a CEO to kill 6 days ago:
I mean if a game is really good and i'm on my fifth+ playthrough and i have a really solid concept for a male character, maybe. And i did eventually play a male bodied female voiced V for the panam romance.
- Comment on Wake up, we've got a CEO to kill 6 days ago:
Except this image implies male V, who plays male V?Female voice acting is so much better, jackie seems more heart-of-gold when he's straight with a platonic femme best friend and the johnny silverhand angle is much more emotionally resonant.

You'll sit there and listen to my entire rant about the arzhan 1 archaeological site's spectral cavalcade and how it backs up yet another bonkers unbelievable thing from herodotos' account of non-greeks, dammit!

Yeah you can tell this is not real because a) it's greentext and b) you can't copyright game mechanics.
If you could we wouldn't have video game genres, or like 99% of board games.

It's very expensive to make good content that a player can miss is why.
- Comment on 6 in 10 workers say they have a toxic boss, study finds 2 weeks ago:
Neurologically.
There are some great studies using brain scans that show when you give people extra privileges, even in limited contexts like games, the empathy centers of the brain are supressed and show weaker activity.
Higher status individuals regularly fail to read emotions as well as lower status people do. Brain scans also show that power makes your resource reward centers more active and makes you less able to regulate these kind of impulses.
Power makes humans cruel, selfish, greedy and impulsive. It's how human brains work. Heirarchy and justice are mutually exclusive.
- Comment on Working on my politics-free lemmy experience, what words should I add next? 2 weeks ago:
This is objectively correct. We are social mammals and everything we do is steeped in politics. We live in a social world and we navigate power, privilege, wealth and ideologies in everything we do - politics.
Believing you can go politics free just marks you as either naive or callous.
At least this is in a shitposting forum, the correct venue for such an idea.

That's the best horse name ever! Definitely not something i expected to see while browsing a three day old non-monogamy shitpost.
- Comment on What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up? 5 weeks ago:
It just won't happen. Our institutions are weak and very subject to outside influence. Everyone in the world can see it.
If our corrupt oligarchs allow an election, the next president will still have to deal with their financial power, the private electronic surveillance state they control, their overwheming control of our very corrupt court system, etc.
If the dems were interested in fixing the problem it would take focused effort over multiple terms. The dems are not interested in fixing the problem. This is just who we are as a nation-state.
- Comment on Should I tell my dad that his mistake almost cost me a fortune? 5 weeks ago:
I find that being made aware of my mistakes helps me be more diligent in the future, so i'd want to know.

Tabletop rpg design uses the term "fail gracefully" to describe being able to still function when you forget the rules.
Older games used to regularly stop amd collapse into boring chart-reading and index-looking-up. A lot of modern games are entirely playable if you forget everything except the core mechanic.

I always describe gambling as non-alcoholic vodka.
It just does nothing for me and leaves an awful taste in my mouth.
- Comment on Are there any good protest songs from the past few years? 1 month ago:
Billy bragg has a great song about the twin cities. It's a spin on that "first they came for" poem, but instead of the "and i said nothing because..." bit it has "so I got in their face!"
- Comment on this fat fuck getting McDonald's door dash at work 1 month ago:
It's not real. A delivery person wouldn't get to the door of the oval office. And almost certainly an aide grabs the bag, though the fast food delivery obsessions is partly about security paranoia, so maybe he is paranoid enough to grab the bag.

- Comment on 🤣🤣🤣🤣 3 months ago:
I have several very important quibbles with this shitpost.
Why does the maga hat say ice? If it's an ice agent why is the mask still exposing most of his face, and if it's just a maga dude, why is it wearing a mask like fauci-loving sheeple? How is the tongue coming out of the mask? If it's an ice agent, why he is licking a boot - they literally are the jackboot.

It sounds like you're giving too much credence to what mysogynists and incels say on the internet.

- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 4 months ago:
30% of US adults voted for trump.
Decades of gerrymandering, voter suppression, disinfo campaigns and no small amount of outright fraud brought the current regime to power, not the will of american people.
- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 4 months ago:
Because trump is largely irrelevant.
His job is distraction-in-chief. He's just a dumb patsy - a role he's spent his life perfecting.
His business career was just laundrering russian mob money, and his political career is just drawing fire from the rich cabal looting the american empire before there's nothing left to loot.

Coprolite makes a great insult. I'm sure we can all think of some prominent fossilized turds.
Of course real coprolites are wealth of information and a welcome find, unlikely the fucking coprolites who seized control of the US.
