Speaking of which, my wife is laughing at the game NPCs calling her "commandress". I said, well, she is a commander in a dress. She says "they" are unaware of how ridiculous they are.
I know it used to be that the lack of a feminine form was a sign of oppression by the patrirarchy. But I think nowadays we should have advanced enough in the degeneracy so the feminine form should be a sign of sexism and segregation of women, right? I can't decide.

For the robot demons I had ranger girl equip the glaive from the act 2 boss and just finish them off once on the ground. The real problem was getting past their gorillon AC and immunities. There's a lich spell that gives a negative level per round to enemies - helped a lot with this utter slog...
Neither can women or whole humanity.
Women fought hard against puritan long skirts in tennis, now they fight against short skirts and showing their body in sports and cheerleaders.
And remember, US was founded by puritans.
We are now at a stage of replacing painting with woman with a painting with apples in MMOs.
The Ukrainians - who for obvious reasons have to suck up to the West much harder than the Russians - are very meticulous at using proper feminitive forms for all professional designations. So I think - at least in what is projected to "uncivilized" world - correct current form of woke is to use "commandress", "waitress" and so on. "Докторка".
Being like Moira Brown is the best characteristic of any NPC in any CRPG.
I didn't think about Moira being an inspiration for Neni, because like Neni, I purposefully forgot everything about Fallout 3.
It sucked if so, but I hope it's the meta desire to unlock all puzzles which is more in character for her, than that stupid NPC.

Give it time bro. C&C, if you know what I mean.

Those robots are dicks. Crippling Strike should be on every sneak attack character for this reason alone.

A spoiler-ish question for those on later chapters. What is the highest level of bracers of Armour you have found?

How rude.
But anyhow,

This is just as hilarious as "Командирка" / "commandress".
It seems whatever the girls "decide" to do, it's always based on the boys' current means of commodifying girls' looks. And then boys just readjust the strategy. The chase will never end, thankfully.

Meh, as long as the language tends to favor gendered nouns for professions, I see no issue with it. It's weirder when you don't apply it uniformly and you end up with stuff like [Female courtesy title like madam, signora etc etc] [Male professional title].

I think it's hilarious as a consequence of this.
The gendered nouns were gendered for a reason - difference in function or ability, or because of a nomina agentis being traditionally associated with a gender.
In trying to combat the traditional conceptions, feminists inadvertently imply a difference in function and ability as well -- as if a female doctor would "function", i.e. diagnose, treat patients, differently than a male doctor would have. That's the kind of unintentional sexism of gendered nomina agentis nouns that I mean. They subtly imply "this is different than the male counterpart" while trying to establish equality.

There's an 8 in Nenio's dungeon, optional puzzle in the bottom left. You can DD through that particular door as well.

I personally do not see it that way. It's the same thing as with gendered adjectives. If your language already has them, it'd be weird as fuck to use the male termination for an adjective just because it has no gendered implication.
English doesn't have them as a rule though, so even stuff like actor should be kept as such for both males and females imho. Something like Russian or Italian on the other hand should generalize the usage of gendered declinations.
Some words like "Presidente" or "Dottore" alredy used a more generalist case. Since in Italian the only real difference in gendered words was traditionally the last vowel ( "A" being feminine and "O" masculine in the majority of singular cases).
When modernism hit, at the beginning of the century, that was not seen as enough representation. Hence, nowadays, a president (male) is called "Presidente" (old generic title from latin using "E") while we use "Presidentessa" for a female one. "Dottoressa" followed the same fate, my mother always insisted she's called a "Dottore", if really needed.
Frankenwords are a thing. Sorry for the OT.
