Phrasing the last tweet as to be on a first name basis with Hillary Clinton is a perfect garnish

(they won’t, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

God that takes me back to when I was an idiot liberal in like 2017 and I thought calling Trump a traitor to America was the biggest own

i can’t take this anymore

Genuinely I think if I bothered playing as a female character in a game I think my egg would’ve cracked 5-10 years early. Spent nearly a decade insisting on playing as a man in RPGs while fighting character creators and getting pissed off at male character bodytypes, animations, voice acting, clothing options, so on.

Repression’s a hell of a drug lmao

I haven’t played a lot of really newer games so maybe things have changed, but in my experience playersexual romance options end up feeling like a straight person with a straight romance that’s been genericized so any gender can be subbed in. Maybe the ideal would be having the dialogue and the way things play out depend on the player’s gender? Although at that point I guess that crosses over into making all romance options explicitly bi/pan.

overwatch has been giving male characters negative ass size since day one but one woman gets flatter and suddenly western civilization is falling

This reminds me of when I found an old post on a forum about people’s dreams of someone asking what it meant that they had a dream where they’re a girl. Then several years later she made a post like “hi i’m a girl now lol”

aw man I can’t believe I slept through his death

Out of coincidence I picked a name that was in the top 10 most popular girl’s names for my birth year. I just liked how it sounded :meow-shining:

think reading this made me dissociate

Graham is easily the more interesting route because he’s the more interesting character and you get the usual Fallout player-assisted character arc with him but I think Graham’s role in HH gets a little misunderstood, I think because the DLC doesn’t do a great job of presenting it. He’s former legate of the Legion and founded the Legion alongside Caesar. His intent is killing the entirety of the White Legs, Daniel warns you of that and then when you choose his route Graham tells you to your face that’s what he wants. He’s the last guy you would ever want to teach someone war. And he’s so dead set on this not because he actually cares strongly about the Sorrows but because the White Legs want to be part of the Legion, and he sees going against them as sort of going against the Legion by extension, basically the DLC is choosing which Mormon’s baggage you want to enable. You also can draw comparisons between what Sallow/Caesar and Graham did to the tribes in Arizona by teaching them “real” war and forming the Legion out of them, and what Graham is doing to the Sorrows and Dead Horses.

Really I wish the Dead Horses and Sorrows were characterized more and that you could have actually talked to them about what they wanted to do, instead of having to deal entirely through Joshua and Daniel.

The 1957 interview shown throughout, the particular segment shown around the 45 minute mark:

INTERVIEWER: Do you believe that the United States should recognize Red China?

HAWKINS: Personally, I think they should.

INTERVIEWER: Why?

HAWKINS: It’s a very big thing […] it’s like saying that there’s a big elephant in front of you and you say he’s not there, until he becomes powerful enough to step on you.

INTERVIEWER: Do you expect that they will become powerful enough to step on us?

HAWKINS: I have no doubt of that.

love to have all the infrastructure for electricity set up but only use it to impress white people
