Reminds me of that Bo Burnham bit:
Don't you just hate it when you're blowing a guy and he turns out to be gay?

Yeah when I played it as a teen I hated stupid sexy Zevran, why did the Devs insist on putting him in my face and making him so suave? So annoying! God why is he just everywhere! Wish he wasn't so stupid sexy, so I could use him as a rogue! Ugh!
Recent playthrough made me remember some things about my young self lol.

I just remembered I had that discussion 2-3 times here, were I had to spell it out to them. It was maddening.
Do they think Joe shows up to every voters house to ask "hey fat, did you vote for me like with a 'real' vote or was it just a 'not Trump' vote? I need to know because I'll be having a speech tomorrow where I'll use all the people that voted for me as an argument to legitimise my power, so it's really important I know what kind of vote you gave me. Jack." brandon

First off, amazing title. Tagline pls.

That argument about trans people sucks ass, and not in a sexual way.
"Genocide only matters when it happens to meeeeee"
It's also stupid because we didn't used to have genocide as something that was just given (we did, but not something libs acknowledged) now we do. Do they think it just stops here? If you accept genocide there's not going to be less of it. Next election it'll be "well sure trans people are being killed, but our candidate doesn't want to murder homosexuals! If you vote for their guy you'll get killed. It's about stopping the genocide that's yet to happen!"

Also Biden is enabling persecution if trans people, so it doesn't even make sense. "Well he's just allowing you to be gathered into camps, he's not ordering it himself and youre not getting murdered by the state, yet. If you dont vote for us, you will be. Also we're not going to do anything to change conditions." Its just a straight up threat to keep trans people in line.

Point out that you do not support genocide, so therefore you won't vote for Biden. You don't support trans genocide either, which is why you won't vote for Trump.
Reassure them by saying that you'll be not voting for Trump more than you'll be not voting for Biden. Since not voting for Biden is a vote Trump and vice versa, then you have functionally voted for Biden, so there's nothing to be mad about.
Call them spineless for accepting genocide, and make some suggestion of direct action they can do. If they're truly supportive of Palestine, then they'll want to help, right? So they'll donate to help some people out over there, right?

Yeah I was really surprised about that on my latest play through! I had completely forgotten it, and it's handled very gracefully. I also love Sten, who feels like ND representation.

I actually just had a discussion about Morrigan just recently, but we didn't really touch on the dlc. She felt like some writers OC self-insert in a way and I feel like the dlc really cemented that. I think there wasn't really a way to follow up on her story while still trying to do the "your choices matter" shtick that they want to do, so it makes sense it was kind of dropped.

Oh I've played thru the game tons of times already (with dlc) I was just asking because it's a bit old and it's rare I get to talk with someone about it. Shale rocks

I love the dwarf city! I love the question of who you should support, because there isn't a good answer.
I just played thru as a city elf, which was fantastic. Just being a lithe babe with a big ass sword chopping down everyone. First time I also decided against diplomacy whenever I could (and my opponents were humans).

Whats your favourite origin?

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Disco Elysium.
Dragon Age Origins (I will find all nugs)
Hollow knight? Though some of the challenges were awful difficult
Assassin's Creed black flag is sort of an inverse of what you're describing. Only the side content is good.
Sid Meier's pirates! Is great fun and there's a lot of side content there too

I've written so many bangers, so much unhinged shit, yet none of it has been made a tagline. I can only assume this is because hexbear is a psyop specifically made to make me a little bit frustrated

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Where though?

Instead their response is, as always, "wow I'm glad I'm not a filthy republican idiot at least." And they also compile lists, they just feel bad about ot
