By who? Unless you're clicking tags on netflix I don't think anyone is going to have this hypothetical convo:

Oh there's a great episode you should watch

Oh whats it about? Tell me more?

Its gay

Oh ok thanks, all I need to know.

The quote is about them calling it a "gay story" not a "post apocalyptic gay love story". The reductive 2 word description is rightfully annoying to a man who brought a well written and fleshed out love story to life, only to be told he made a "gay story"

The story isn't about them being gay. Its about them being in love and dealing with the post apocalyptic bullshit along with their relationship. To call it a "gay story" is to single out the one tiny part of it that is them being gay and reduce the whole thing to that. I doubt you'd just classify Schindlers list as a "Jew story" or Black panther as a "Black story". I do like how you slipped from it being a "gay story" to a "gay love story" tho, nice save. The quote was about people calling it a gay story, not a gay love story. I think even subconsciously you understand that "gay story" is not really a good way to summarize that story.

In no world is somebody asking for more detail on a story going to want to hear "its a gay story" and be satisfied. If they want details you'd tell them more, and if they didn't a more accurate summary would be "love story" or even "post apocalyptic gay love story" but just "gay story" is like calling lord of the rings a "travel diary"

Stanley sounded alarm after consulting Invenda sales brochures that promised "the machines are capable of sending estimated ages and genders" of every person who used the machines without ever requesting consent.

From the article ^ so I stand corrected.

Wait so it just recognizes any face? Like the cameras at the walmart checkout that just go "yep thats a face slap a green box on that bitch" and thats it?

Look Cthulhu demands sacrifice, but if you can't swing pasta maybe try pipe cleaners? You might end up with crafthulhu tho.

Just say a regular prayer to the christian god but call him a shithead and see if he smites ya.

Any procedure to summon cthulhu is made up, so make one up. Or if it makes you feel better I'll make one up:

Cook long pasta to aldente, then spread it all over the floor, then roll around it in while praising the noodly limbs of cthon, and asking the eldritch god to wrap you up and take you to the realm between dimensions. And I dunno, pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time to confuse yourself. Confusion and the unknown are the key when it comes to eldritch beings. Add spooky LED lights that shift from green to purple.

I believe the new edition has all the dlc included though I dont know for sure if they'll work in the old edition, I had already owned the old dlc when the epic update happened. I assume so but I can't guarantee it. As for content the re elected version is basically just the base game with all the dlc included, so there wasn't anything new besides jamming epic integration and crossplay into the game.

If you are getting the game on steam keep in mind the last update broke basically all the old mods, and it was late enough after development that they didn't really get updates. If you want to mod the game or avoid it pestering you about logging into epic use the older version you can apply in the properties of the game in steam.

Also know that if you want to play coop ymmv, its a fun game but crashes and disconnects are common, and your progress with your friend might desync if you disconnect, so you may need to juggle who is hosting.

TLDR: good game, buggy coop, mod scene is sort of complicated due to late stage patches to implement EGS stuff.

I've played all the way through, I thought it was great!

The difference would be the phrasing and specifics. "Magically switch trans people to the assigned sex at birth that they desire to be?" Works for some. "Magically make trans people's bodies align with their specific and nuanced gender identity" is less of an issue. The problem you run into with the first is some are not interested in surgeries or are non binary so a full surprise sex swap would not be what some trans people want.

I still think consent is important though, even if the way the magic works is basically "they get what they want". As much as it is hard to imagine, there are also trans people who do not want to transition at all due to having family or friends who would cut them off (I think that's a pretty awful and tragic situation to be in, but imagine the trans woman who magically changes to the shock and anger of her deeply religious family or SO, who then ostracize or reject her, or even react violently). You aren't likely to be murdered for recovering from cancer, but in some places magically shifting assigned sex might come with some pretty awful, bigoted strings attached

"why can't parents beat their children more, what a horrible tragedy"

Ok bud.
