I went through all of these, and honestly plugging in a single cable into your laptop and having power, external display, network and input peripherals all connect instantly is pretty damn cool.

Yeah but they weren't one of the main driving forces behind a major political party at the time.

OK you guys sure seem to take your pandering really seriously, so here you go: I'm sorry, this scene is peak writing and a major step for inclusivity. EA is a true champion of the LGBT community, and certainly not a bunch of soulless businessmen driven by profits and focus groups.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

I'm not bothered at all lol, I would have already forgotten about it if you weren't so bothered yourself :) But yeah, IMO it would have been better if they had used a less "modern" word. You did notice that fantasy characters usually don't speak like they're from the 21st century, right?

Did you read the article? I found it pretty convincing, as an example "non-binary" is not a word I expect to be said in a fantasy setting. The author also mentions a fantasy book where it's done much more naturally.

If you read the article you'll see that the author takes issue not with the inclusion itself, but the hamfisted way in which it is included. Pandering can be fine, but when it's just checking boxes in a cringy, lazy way it's not, and worse it becomes fodder for the gamergate type to rage about.

(If you haven't seen Severance yet, get on your big screen and watch it now, you won't regret it)

Yeah, and that's sad and dumb as fuck.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure 15 minutes after this post OP was crawling barefoot in HVAC ducts.

Bible literalists also believe that a huge war in Israel is a prerequisite to the second coming of Christ AKA the end times.

It was like 20 years ago, but their sidewinder brand was pretty great, as was the intellimouse.
