Finding safety in the maw of the monster, knowing you won't be harmed.

Gen AI is nothing special I can also draw / write badly, help you with math inconsistently, answer you dubiously, and consume amounts of water you would think are physically impossible

I really enjoy the approach to romance that Scarlet Hollow takes because like - as much as I can enjoy video game romance, I feel like so many of them fall flat, in no small part because they have to be written around the void that is the player character. You can be like anything, so writing romance with any amount of specificity is a huge hurdle.

I think Scarlet Hollow manages to work around this with 1) the sheer number of romance options. How many are there? Like 7? You're gonna find a person that vibes with whatever character you're playing. 2) the fact that locking in the romance is only the start of the relationship, not the end goal. Like yeah you're locked in, but what exactly is that going to look like as the game goes on? I've only gotten to play through one episode post locking my romance in, and I wonder if things could go differently if I said/did different things upon seeing him again.

While I don't like the pumpkin baby choice being reduced to a pro-life/pro-choice debate, it has got me thinking about how Lux actually feels about abortion.

As a general rule, they'd definitely be pro-choice, the same way they are violently pro-autonomy - hello not even entertaining the idea of giving Dr Kelly those tranqs. They also would have preferred it if Bo had been saved, but the fear of being shot was stronger here.

On a strictly personal level, however, they're just someone who really loves kids. So if they wound up pregnant, they'd just roll with it.

I'm not just a monsterfucker I also love them romantically

as an adult, some adults really aren’t mature enough to separate fiction from reality or understand the basic concepts of fiction not necessarily reflecting someone’s real life moral compass and it’s embarrassing. how are you a grown adult and still acting like a mean girl who bullies real people for the sake of fictional characters and feelings morally superior

I didnt realize Powerful Build was such an unpopular pick as a trait. me, i highly valued the ability to fail to punch Wayne and get pinned to the wall, yknow?

characters who get the "i can fix him" urge not because theyre a saint who loves everyone inherently but because they think "if i can prove there's good in everyone, maybe i can start feeling like i'm worthy or being seen as good too."

"Baldur's Gate 3 is old news now lol that was three years ago"

Would you believe my favourite game of all time that I still regularly play is from 2009

[spellfireburst]

Seriously though, the way some people treat liking media as if it has an expiration date is so weird to me. And three years is still so recent in the grand scheme of things anyway, actually!

"Women's spaces" is one of those things that sounds kinda ok when it is completely divorced from reality but the reality of gender segregation even on a small scale means there is no way to actually implement it that isn't incredibly bigoted and bullshit. What people are actually trying to do is make a space where they don't have to confront anything or anyone that is upsetting to them. But what people are uncomfortable with is based on emotional reactions.

Case in point, I've never been to a woman's only space that wasn't obviously hostile to me, and that's when I was even allowed there in the first place. And I understand why - my voice is very low and I make no attempt at voice training, I dress in a gender neutral way, hormones have done very little for me. Unless I am making a special effort to be feminine I clock as a guy. I am also tall and broad. The only way I can gain any kind of acceptance in "woman's spaces" is if I go to extreme effort to completely warp my presentation and step on egg shells the entire time. If im not actively ashamed and apologetic about the fact I read as a man I am not welcome.

Because, again, the reality of woman's spaces is that they are about the comfort of those who organize them.

I'm also very aware that it's not just non passing trans women who get the short end of the stick here. There is a long history of racism connected to these kinds of spaces that absolutely has not been resolved, for example.

The other half of the woman's spaces discourse is about resources, and is just so detached from reality it is kind of pathetic. The idea that a trans man coming into a woman's only space is somehow stealing resources from women is pervasive as it is stupid. The reality is that very few resources of any kind are expended in cases like this, and far more important is the single most important resource in marginalized politics, solidarity and coalition strength. Any "loss" of resources that occurs when lines are blurred is more than made up for by the social and political power that depends on different marginalized people regularly interacting with each other.

I think we can make the call here people, segregation is not woke. (Yes this is sarcastic in a "I can't believe I have to say this" way)
