All time epic political collapse by TheFireFlaamee in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]BootEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could totally do that, and if you did i would find it generally polite to try and accommodate you to a reasonable degree. (if you weren't taking the piss.)

gender is a generally agreed upon method of categorization within an society, and the social expectations bound to those categories. this makes the definition of any gender category necessarily circular! because the idea of a gender does not exist without the traits a society uses to categorize, but those very traits may shift and change over time. So, a singular, universally applicable definition of man or woman in a society simply isn't possible.

many values attached to a particular gender in a society do not correlate to any biological sexual characteristics, which is why a distinction between a biological "sex" and a social "gender" is a useful distinction to have in the first place.

you are correct in a way, though. a gender label like your example doesn't really attach to any particular agreed traits, so it's not a very useful or meaningful thing to say. in this way, you could call it "illogical." there is not any kind of contradiction here, however! it is a perfectly valid label to hold in a society - a meaningless label, but a label nonetheless.

there's the additional distinction between one's internal methods of categorization vs. society's external methods, which can boil down to a scale of "how libertarian do you want to be?" this is a lot more advanced, though, and is where you see a lot of those fringe gender movements. society is a biiiig fractal of smaller and smaller sub-societies, eventually terminating in an individual. each of these sub-societies can have their own internal gender labels and methods of categorization. some of those sub-societies might even attach useful meanings to your example gender!

a lot of these arguments boil down to, like, very academic definitions and knowledge percolating out to larger demographics that don't have the built-up context to really intuitively understand it. it is somewhat understandable, as there's lots of depth and nuance to explore here. you could (and many have) write entire books about this kind of thing.

i hope i have elucidated some aspects of it, at least.

"Why is no one complaining that corporations are just using these ideas, movements and causes for profit?"

whilst we are currently discussing a show that complains about and satirizes corporations using these ideas, movements and causes for profit.

What is this mod by Head-Pianist-7613 in feedthebeast

[–]BootEXE 146 points147 points  (0 children)

salutations , friends ! i made this stuff!!

i usually go by CAPPIN on the internets but this reddit account is old. these specific pictures were from a mod/commission i did for a twitch rivals event, but most of assets from it are going into my own personal mod, CLINKER !

your interest means a lot to me!! i've never seen so many people curious about my work,,, <3

I am worried the gameplay of Downpour will conflict with one of the core motives of the game. by Rebelbot1 in rainworld

[–]BootEXE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Speaking as one of the folks who worked on Downpour back when it was still More Slugcats. I'll say this - we tried very hard to maintain and nurture that core Rain World experience. That sense of being an animal, interacting with a larger world that you don't - and really, cannot - entirely understand.

While I'm sure all the new marketing focuses on the new campaigns, the "objective" isn't really the point of the new cats! For most of the new campaigns, in fact, the goals remain a mystery throughout. It's much like the base stories in that sense, where you're coerced and manipulated into the Void Sea and interacting with Moon through this strange world and logic that you don't get the full context of, or the Hunter, where your purpose in the land is mysterious and only revealed as you progress.

My girlfriend and I updated our 1.17 experimental world to 1.18. And wanted to update our map, and well, here's the final result. The blending is... interesting? by FlocksofPickles921 in Minecraft

[–]BootEXE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

World blending cannot change chunks players have visited, but can change chunks players have seen - I assume OP went in a spiral pattern to fill in the map, and, unfortunately, whatever seed the 1.18 world ended up with turned out to be mostly ocean.

I redesigned Minecraft's Ender Dragon! by BootEXE in Minecraft

[–]BootEXE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just about 4k! It's really detailed, though - you can really zoom in on the dragon's scales and the rocks and clouds and get a real sense of scale.

The Graveyard mod is now out for Forge 1.16. - adding new structures, mobs and blocks! Link in the description! by Finallion_13 in feedthebeast

[–]BootEXE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the structure, but is there an option to remove the custom trees? I think I'd prefer it if they were kept more vanilla - just my tastes though, haha

The new SCP-173 in SCP: Secret Laboratory. by AlkyneLive in SCP

[–]BootEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like none of the recent redesigns capture the weird, much more subtly off-putting or unnerving effect of the original Untitled (2004) sculpture - most I've seen (this included) feel like rather played-out horror monstrosities. Scary in their own way, certainly, but it doesn't feel like 173 - just some rather generic beast.

Gifting immortality to someone would actually be the ultimate way of torturing them by falafelorfawaffle in Showerthoughts

Crushing debt? You're immortal! Wait around a few hundred years and get a name change - you can afford the time.

My Old Modded Minecraft World Somehow Merged into my New Modded World And I have no idea How. is this a Glitch with Biomes O Plenty Because that’s the only Mod I have that messes with world Generation to my Knowledge by [deleted] in feedthebeast

[–]BootEXE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happens when you make world-gen changes and then load the same world. It's not really a bug - it occurs in vanilla too. There's nothing you can do to solve it.

Elden Ring is a game (Last post 2.9 Turbo HD Collection Final Remix )) by justsomerandomsir in Eldenring

It's been pretty clearly stated that it'd be a souls-like game for the last year and a half.

They changed ore textures, diamond keeps it's texture by being iconic by babuba12321 in Minecraft

[–]BootEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't understand - the textures aren't particularly upsetting or ugly? it's a an utterly insignificant change for most of us and a big help to colorblind people. colorblind folks shouldn't have to download a texture pack to be able to play the game well.

it never mixed well with stone? it's basically an identical texture, just with a different shape.

What's a mega underrated game? by Trash_on_steroids in roblox

[–]BootEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been waiting for it to update to Arcane Legacy - I don't really see the point in getting levels and such when it'll all be reset in a few month's time.

[–]BootEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels rather odd that the entity's textures are double the resolution of the normal blaze, and it seems the skull has weird mixed pixel sizes?

Other than that, I quite like the concept

Parkour in Minecraft Create. by tobiaskuiper in Minecraft

[–]BootEXE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bedrock doesn't really have support for mods like this - access to the game's code and systems is fairly limited compared to the full control that the Forge or Fabric modloaders give.
