It's not shocking at all once you realize they don't mean anything they say. Reactionaries have goals, not values, so they'll say anything that advances those goals, even when it's in direct conflict with their immediate behavior.

Don't go home mad.

But do go home.

He fucked with the money. They couldn't care less about general fraud.

They're also really used to dealing with protestors. I think that probably helps.

Ah. My dom is a man, so...

:p

Who?

Interesting. What do you think is going on in kink power exchange relationships?

Clearly his strategy is to keep adding to the evidence, ensuring that the documentation submitting it can never be complete and running out the clock!

Entry 71.

If I read the article correctly, instead of the protagonist character having a voice actor, they want to take a bunch of voice samples of you and then use that to generate their dialogue.

I wouldn't be surprised, in the slightest, to learn that agreeing to play this game, gives them full rights to the voice generator they build from your samples, and they pick and choose from those instead of having any voice actors in future games.

What an incredibly godawful, dumbass idea.

Look, I'm going to skip over issues of voice actors, quality, etc, and go directly to:

Your voice doesn't sound to you like it sounds to other people. Almost everyone hates playback of their voice. This is a great way to get people to haaaaaate playing your game.

I can think of three in Shadowbringers alone, Amaurot, the conversation against the rock in upper Kholusia, and that one part right near the end, the one that requires channeling a large amount of environmental power.

(Trying to avoid spoilers while being unambiguous)

Oh goddess and the role quests, particularly the healer one.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow reliably makes me tear up.

FFXIV, over and over. The kind of nobility and self sacrifice displayed in that story has set me crying several times. Honestly, I can feel it a little bit just thinking of some of those moments, but I try to smile through it.

Because a smile better suits a hero.

I'm definitely interested in hearing from them what they mean. If that were their answer, I'd want to know what exactly is meant by "identity politics", because it seems like a negative applause light rather than a pointer to a real thing in the territory. At least that's how I generally see it used.

Can you be more explicit, please? Which policies, exactly, should be pushed? Which abandoned?

Republicans: make life shit.

Democrats: fail to stop it.

People: why would the Democrats do this to us?

Pelvic tilt is a pretty obvious one, part of why women have shapelier asses and also reduces height a little bit. Emotions definitely feel more accessible, although I have heard that trans guys also get some of that sometimes so that might have more to do with dissociating less, but I also get some urge to cry at stuff like... Last night I was watching a movie with my girlfriend and characters were talking about people they'd lost, and it was an effort not to cry.

You can ask me literally anything you actually want to know about without losing points with me. Just be sure you want to know. There's a pretty good chance I'll answer and if you didn't want to know you might have regrets.

Oh goddess does the temperature tolerance change. Turns out the fat distribution matters a lot for that!
Also yeah there's a line in the first altered carbon book about how for men, skin is armor, and for women, a sensory organ, and it's a little exaggerated, but it's pointing at a real thing.

Re personality: that's harder to judge, because you have so much going on. It's a major change in your life, you're altering how you and the world interact with each other, so it would be hard to avoid your personality going through a rock to mud transition and shifting, but I think there's definitely some shift towards social responsibility, yeah. Obviously there isn't an exact measurement, but I think it's pretty common.

Oh, I'm sure they will. That is not, in the slightest, the same as caring about said implications in ways that mean that the species won't get murked, though.

It's a negative right and the fetus doesn't have relevant rights. If both your kidneys fail and I have two that are a match, do you have a right to one of mine? That's the beginning and end of it. You don't have the right to anyone else's body, not even if you'll die without it. We can discuss whether it's morally virtuous to offer your body, whether or not you should, but nobody has the right to your body and you don't have the right to theirs.
