I was banned by Myzzrym for talking about Dark Sun universe lore in general channel (not game, general channel).

I dont know what the fuck is wrong with him.

You can tell you are dealing with a cult because all of the language sounds the same -- everyone says the same things, like they're reciting a prayer or a mantra. "Trans people have a right to exist." They say it over and over again, holding it in front of themselves like an amulet.

Of course, this a strawman. Except for a few lunatics who advocate mass murder, no serious person is saying "they don't have a right to exist." It's a lie, pedaled by idiots and believed by the faithful.

Just look at how they roll it out.

• Transwomen should not be weightlifting against biological women. SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!
• There is a sudden and alarming surge in young girls who believe they are actually men, and evidence suggests this is a social contagion. SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!
• Children should not be able to enroll themselves in a gender "confirmation" program and the adults who abet this behavior should be seriously scrutinized. SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!
• Trans people have a remarkably high suicide rate even after transitioning, so clearly there are other issues at work here. SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!
• Trans people have a remarkably high number of co-morbid conditions such as major depression, and many are autistic, OCD, and suffer from various other psychological issues. SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!
• Detransitioners who try to share their stories are routinely shouted down and ridiculed, and this should concern us. SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!
• I'm not comfortable with my 20 year old daughter having to share a bathroom with a 55 year old man who came out as trans 6 months ago, and I don't think that's unreasonable. SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!
• Transwomen should not be housed with biological females in prison. SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!
• In all other body dysmorphia disorders except the trans one, evidence suggests the best way to help the person is to help the brain match the body, not change the body to match the brain. Why is trans different? SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!
• Why is "trans" lumped in with Gay/Lesbian/Bisexuality when by the transgenders' own talking points, sexual identity, biological sex, and sexual orientation are all independent of each other? SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!
• A bunch of high school boys began running as girls and destroyed the girls in open competition -- doesn't this bother anyone? SO YOU'RE SAYING TRANS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXIST??!

It is always the same fucking thing, even to the most anodyne, banal observations. They're empty headed morons.

So is Fag or Nigger. How about we get such choices in game as well? Lets see how that turns out lol

Making the pronoun selection He/She/They/Nigger would be, in all seriousness, an acceptable compromise.

They don't have a right to exist because theirs is not a real condition. They are mentally ill people with delusions and a lot of malicious grooming. They are about as real as people who think they're werewolves.

First time I've felt any regret moving to Linux 100%. I haven't waded into the WINE pool much yet, mostly dipped my toe. This is a compelling incentive to start though.

Do you use Steam? Valve makes the process super easy. And it looks like the game runs well: https://www.protondb.com/app/1096530

Some retard with an agenda signs up on RPGCodex with an account solely to promote his western top-of-the-line 'RPG' -> We love free speech, so that's fine -> Codex fanboys over it -> Codex is surprised the retard is actually an LGBT++++++ propagandist/enabler who inserts it into the game and would ban you in a fucking heartbeat for disagreeing

What's the konsensus on this game? I never heard of it before today.

Can we talk about the game itself?

Gimme about 30 min until the torrent is done.

Here's a screencap from a Solasta stream only a couple weeks ago:

Here's a screencap at the same spot in character creation on a video uploaded a few hours ago:

I'm really curious as to the reason they implemented this at the very last minute -- presumably during heavy crunch to get the game as finished as possible.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

It is a part of the game.

Bought the game on GOG, look forward to playing it.

I feel sorry for you if your hobby consists of checking out new D&D CRPGs and furiously scanning them for signs of politics that you don't like.

 

[The_Mask]

What's the konsensus on this game? I never heard of it before today.

My opinion is that the game is great, other than that "they" button. The real reason for the "they" button seems to be a lie, and excuse for pandering.

The game is for combat-oriented/loving people. Lighting, vision and options are VERY well implemented. A bit railroaded. The end slightly sub-par, compared to the rest of the game.

Opinions may vary depending on preferences.

Just ignore it and it will go away. Don't speak up, don't criticize anything, be complacent.

The presence of woke shit is directly inversely linked to the quality of the rest of the game.

Technically, trannies really don’t exist. There are no men who have become women, they are just men in wigs, makeup, or had extensive aesthetic surgery (plus hrt). It’s a cult mantra to reinforce a delusion.

Let me reach lv 10. I wanna test the arcane shock

Is like the guy who believes to be Napoleon...

Isn't one of the big draws supposed to be the mod creation tools?

 

[The_Mask]

Close. Dungeon making tools.

But if this was a very clever way of saying that you're hoping there will be a mod that will take the "they" button out, I tip my hat to you, good sir.

Okay so the TTN (Time To Nigger) is about 20 seconds.

There’s nothing to scan. The loyalty oath is right there in your face, and intended to be. I’m sure you’d be just as sanguine about a “accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior” check box, because that’s what this shit is, except the people behind it are off-the-chain psychopaths.

Humans suck anyway so easily avoided, and there aren’t any Italians in this game.

So I can be an authoritarian (Loves rules) Cynic (scoffs at rules). Okay.

кто кого?

Many such cases.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

I’m sure you’d be just as sanguine about a “accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior” check box

except instead of a checkbox, the choices are 'yes' and 'no(but yes)'

e: Hair during character creation has way too much shine, looks like ass. Also the random name generator is pitiful.
