I started and finished Stray today. It's a bit short (5.5 hours) and imo not really replayable, but I had a really nice time with it. I found it akin to Outer Wilds in the sense that you get to discover the lore as you progress in the world. I recommend picking it up if you get it on sale (the full price is a bit much for the duration).

What is supposed to be the difference between capitalism and garbage ? Asking for a commie friend.

Looks like a nice ARPG, but it seems to integrate an "always online" bullshit requirement, can someone who actually has it confirm or rectify ?

Just finished Firewatch, and I'm a few hours in Outer Wilds. I enjoy having no way to really fail, and discovering the story bit by bit.

Started Torchlight 2 in coop with a friend living abroad, it's fun to see a non-blizzard Diablo with a Warcraft 3 aesthetic. Still trying to figure out which mods we want in the long run.

And almost at the end of It Takes Two in couch coop with a friend, we've laughed a lot so far !

You are right, I should not have assumed that.

And I should actually not have used this description, because vulvas are not exclusive to people Assigned Female At Birth, as another commenter pointed out.

Thank your for your very interesting opinion.

You are absolutely right, I should have thought of it. Thanks for the correction !

Thanks for this educational post, TIL I learned something interesting (and sad/infuriating).

I have no source for you, just personal experience. In my small circles (irl and online) which are not statistically significant, we usually use :

• "iel" for third person singular, used the same way as "they" in the singular form
• "ellui" also used for the third person by someone who wanted the feminin "elle" to come first
• "ol" is also used for the third person, mostly by people who want to get rid of the binary "il" and "elle" sounds of "iel"
• "elleux" for the third person plural, used the same way as "they" in its usual sense

Maybe this wikipedia page could be useful ?

Just FYI: from my experience as a native French speaker and a French resident, these neopronouns have a hard time existing outside militant and lgbtqi+ circles. Our most popular media (which are right-wing/conservative) regularly paint them as a problem, an attack on the "mothertongue" etc. and I've faced violent reactions from people I gave my pronouns to.

Kudos to you for including them in your signature !

Edit: typos.

Thanks for posting, really interesting read ! I had never thought about it.

I wonder to which extent the described mechanisms also make it more difficult for men with a higher-than-average-pitched voice and thus contributes to the patriarchal vision of what a man(tm) should be - in this instance, of how a man should speak.

Running on that VM, I really enjoyed Flight of the Amazon Queen a few years back. Warning: it's an oldie containing lots of sexist moments - I'm not sure I would enjoy it as much today.

Funnily enough, meeting far-right people increased my far-right-ophobia.
