Another Cheat Engine table, now with the option to turn off thirst/hunger/fatigue while staying on Supernova difficulty.

Female interns. That photo someone posted earlier ITT? All dudes are coders and autists, all women write or design costumes. That's why the combat is good, the costumes all right and the writing sucks.
Should be shot, kicked into a shallow hole and powdered over with quick lime.
nah man that's one who plastered all the AAA effects over textures. the actual walls in houses and stuff are purty.
if you remove excess garbage U4 does its job.

That was an example of bland, uninspired writing springing from the mind of someone who hasn't led a very interesting life. So, yeah, middle-class white California liberal.
Anyway, I didn't intend to get drawn into this argument this early. I'm not even quite sure what I think about the game yet, let alone ready to defend anything I say about it. All opinions are subject to change without notice at this point.
"Whatever, let's move on" -bad at this point.

Why is Parvati even talking about her sexuality when there's no romance in the game??

About 'wokeness' and gender issues, it really bears mention, that most of the NPCs in the game supposed to be just or sympathetic are female. Spoilers abound but hear me out.
Edgewater has Adelaide, the leader of deserters, supposedly a benign grandmother figure whose motives are outlined to generate sympathy, while Tobson is portrayed as some sniveling snake through and through. Funny thing is, even if you side with Tobson, there are ways to 'make right' and persuade Tobson to step down, who then uncharacteristically becomes acquiescent to close the loop on the questline. Who replaces Tobson? Why Adeliade, of course! Another example of this female male dichotomy is seen in the deserter camp where a male engineer who is clueless about his profession sends you on a chase to get some books for him while a runaway female who sought company of marauders is seen to be resourceful enough to not only survive the encounter but even considered a 'queen' among the feral group. No need to be rescued, she will go wherever she pleases, thank you very much.
Moving to the next location, Groundbreaker, the leader of the station is a female, the contact that Phineas has you meet is a major female NPC, and the Sublight boss who is portrayed as a resourceful broker in complete control is also a female. All with short hair. The only major male NPC I can recall is some crazed maniac with unique flamethrower and a sniveling Board idiot whose feelings for Hawthorne remains ambiguous.
Now onto the third location, I more or less start to abandon prospect of meeting any positive male figure, but I still remain hopeful. I unerotically thirst for any male character worth some measure of admiration now, practically in supernova duress. Then I meet Anton, character with the possibly worst personal qualities so far encountered in the game.
I have not felt this way before, but from Deadfire and on I feel this irritating and encompassing fatigue, of this male as archetype beaten mercilessly into subdued and compromised positions, sometimes I look at my male character and feel sorry for him for having a penis. Maybe I should break emergency glass with hyperweapon and raep across Japan.
But seriously, my enthusiasm for the game has fallen off pretty much, it is quite surprising even to myself. It is really too bad the first time I actively disdain a game for it, it had to be a Cainarsky game.

I think wlw means bisexual and pansexual orientation. Don't know about ace thing.
The answer to all the questions ITT is - American RPGs are dead, smothered by veganism and estrogen. Play based chad Eurojank instead.
Altho we gotta wait till spring 2020 to see if the rot hasn't spread to Polant too.

Just getting ready for the final mission.
My character might be the captain but it sure as hell does not feel like it I don't get to have a personality or opinion it is madness. The ship feels like a shared house with strangers living together the personalities of your henchmen are exactly the same as an average person depicted on MTV reality TV shows.
I don't know how they managed to make the characters so abrasive and unlikable it is almost as if they did it on purpose. They are draining and bland objectively. The henchmen on every single mass effect game are superior to these dregs please make the comparison yourselves.
This is making me feel nostalgic for Mass Effect Andromeda. I just want to finish this final mission and never think about this sad game ever again, let it drift into obscurity along with Tyranny and PoE2. It is profoundly sad that Obsidian has fallen even below Nu-Bioware. Why did they do this?

It's Tumblr Speak and doesn't really mean anything beyond "I'M SPECIAL":
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=aroace
https://ace-and-aro-wlw-positivity.tumblr.com
More importantly, I found this interesting and posted about it in the other thread:
Someone extracted a word list of words supposedly "banned"/filtered by the game: https://pastebin.com/jTDiYsAy
I'm not putting this shit on my HDD, can anyone check if this is accurate and words like
"Beaner", "Bimbo", "Cunt", "Darkie", "Dyke", "Faggot", "Feminazi", "Gays", "Gringo", "Hitler", "Homo", "Kaffir", "Lesbo", "Mongol", "Muslim", "Nazi", "Prostitute", "Queer", "Rape", "Retard", "Tranny", "Transexual", "Transgender"
And if true, what does Obsidian have against the "Gays", "Muslim", "Queer" and "Transgender" anyway?

after a deep dive into tumblr
ace = asexual don't know why the C, to confuse retards like me
aro = aromantic
can also be both of course, aroacre
can also go deeper into more specific definitions, but that requeires masters degree in gender studies.
im thinking of constructing some obscure gender mixed person and bug dollarhyde on twitter about it. you think she'll include it in the dlc or one of the games down the line?
