Inaba's shifting moods, schedules and seasons ask you to spend your time there wisely.
This is a good article, I recommend reading it, forced tourist metaphor aside (who among us has not had to force a bit to make a cohesive article premise)
But I am going to dunk on the obligatory "does the author know there are numbers before 3" paragraph:
Baldur’s Gate 3 is the latest big game to follow an inclusive (but divisive) trend in video game courtship
I don't want to be too mean because there's nothing objectively wrong with this article but the vibe I got reading this was like "it sounds like these are two valid approaches to writing romances and any flaws with them aren't inherent to the design choice so much as they're limited by the devs imagination and writing skill?"
But also like it's interesting to hear people talk about it and it brings up some interesting games I want to check out now, so like? Whatever? Objectively fine article, it's just going to be bugging me for the rest of the day.
I will make fun of this quote though:
“The difference between a bisexual character versus a playersexual character really is a matter of context,” Gaider says. “By calling a character ‘playersexual,’ you’re sort of erasing the fact that they are bisexual, but, the part where having a term for that becomes useful is when you start to investigate, like, why is this character bisexual?”
I'm sorry do I need a three page essay explaining why I'm bisexual? Do I need to bring this up on my tinder date? Damn I've been doing this wrong.
