I dunno how many games EA makes set in the past or secondary worlds, but gauranteed it will drop. We may still get scifi games chock full of today’s brands.

Maybe you were having a bad day in the above linked convo, but fyi you come across as needlessly argumentative and more than a little misogynist. Tbh i didn’t even see the comment where you talk about being accused of rape because your others were too off-putting for me to continue reading.

Your comments make you seem angry at women. That doesn’t make you a rapist, but it goes a long way to explaining why all your friends would believe an allegation.

Yeah there’s a big difference between 70 and 80 for sure.

80+ is still is a ‘sometimes and small amounts’ thing for me, but many 70s and anything <60 taste just as sweet as milk chocolate to me

Maybe 2 years ago my partner had to explain to me that most people actually prefer milk chocolate, so when i buy dark chocolate as presents it’s not actually appreciated.

I’ve always preferred dark chocolate because it’s just so obviously better, and presumed everyone else did too. Finding out that most people like worse chocolate was quite a surprise🤷

Tally systems and icons. It’s from these icons that writing emerges.

China might be the exception, writing maybe emerges from divination rather than accounting. But maybe it goes accounting > divination > writing.

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.

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.

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.

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!

And no, i’m not leaving out the context of how horse-pastoralism moved into the region!

[Morbo voice] Evolution does not work that way!

I was drunk at a party at a rural art gallery in my 20s and a middle aged woman i didn’t know grabbed my hand, looked at it and said with perfect confidence that i needed to be careful driving home because i’d been in a few prangs (australian for car accidents) and had another coming up.

When i replied that i’ve never driven a car or been in an accident all she could say was “oh”.

It’s very expensive to make good content that a player can miss is why.

Ah! I wondered if it might be vowelless for such a reason. Fun! Big fan of Elam, but i don’t know many details of the language beyond the (increasingly solid, i believe) status as a sister-branch alongside Dravidian.

Thanks for sharing!!

Vowel do a disappear why friend? Is there a vowel harmony type deal and they change, are you just listing root constents like a semitic language? Or have completely misunderstood and “rMl t qb b sBsb zGK” is not supposed to be the Hearthsider pronunciations?
