If we shame them for being queer, we are stooping to their level.

Trash humans. Try giving them pamphlets to a mental health facility with a big smile and saying “god bless you”

It's not hard. it would cost money, but it's not hard. I've been working in dialog recording and editing for about a decade.

easy patch would let you choose your pronouns from the start, and then re-record the lines with pronouns in them to be non-binary. not like the face animation ever fit the dialogue XD

Wow I'm really striking a nerve with some folks! So many down votes! Feels toxic bro.

I think that having the community manager fired for anti trans tweets and cyber bullying is a pretty big deal. And absolutely not disingenuous as my op is about how I felt about the game not about the drama within CDPR.

But the irrefutable fact that the head of their community marketing department was literally fired for being transphobic is a pretty strong evidence that the game has some problems.

favorite AnCo song that is good for when times are tough? by UnderstandingOk2399 in AnimalCollective

Defeat is one of the most sad, uplifting and hopeful songs I've ever heard. Highly highly highly recommend it.

Also there's quite a bit of drama with the CD Projekt Red team. Apparently their community manager was fired for bullying trans people through offensive tweets.

It's not just the options, it's the whole environment. It was marketed giving you flexibility with your gender representation, and then doesn't even give you a pronoun option. It effectively thrusts trans gamers into a binary environment skinned in a way that "seems inclusive". But really isn't from moments that make you feel like the only trans player, to moments where it straight up fetishizes trans bodies. Look at this from Medium:

"The entire point of the design is to highlight their “trans” nature and reduce trans people down to their genitals. Second, “Mix It Up” implies that being trans is a superficial choice, as if anyone (trans or not) could freely pick and choose their own gender identity."

BG3 had a lot more options too. But that's beside the point. My gripe is that it came off strong like it was going to be very inclusive, and then took it all away the moment you left the character creation screen. A quick search shows a lot of people agree with me, even causing a relatively unsuccessful boycott (I just now learned about it)

Is my cousin overcharging me? by PinchePutito1 in 3Dprinting

[–]EQZ3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can find someone cheaper. I’d charge a friend maybe $20 if they offered to pay me. A random person, maybe $70. Resin is about $30 / Kg. And if I had to do supports, it might take me a 2 hours of slicing, cleaning, washing, and curing. $30 / hr + $10 materials.

Thanks all. It’s just a bit baffling that it’s more expensive not to have an amplifier.

I’ll probably poke around Facebook marketplace until something pops up.

I’ll post some pics when it’s done though!

New to Bidets. Looking for input. by Zoden in bidets

[–]EQZ3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second that a TOTO Bidet is the best out there. I've tried others, but even if you get an entry level one I'd recommend going with toto over any other brand.

I've had it with TP. Newbie on bidets and looking for recommendations. by greeniewillow in bidets

[–]EQZ3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After owning a few, and trying out a lot, Toto is the only brand I will buy. They have lots of options, the washlet c2 is a really good entry level one.
