Red Rising. The whole series, really. They're probably fun for a 10 year old but... I am not a kid anymore. As much as I sometimes wish I were.

I don't know, maybe I'm missing something. But it seems like the author couldn't focus on his own story. Just "and then this happened, and then this, and then this" with no details or reasoning.

Imagine seeing 1.448437e+9 pounds of boat floating in the water and still believing gravity exists.

Along those lines, I was thinking "Oh no, not again."

I'm saying by not having the label in the game, the creators are assuming it is the default which should not be the case.

So they should include it and not be glib.

That's the point, isn't it? Nothing is wrong with any of it so why not treat everyone with equality?

Because by having a title for straight people it takes a step towards no longer making that the default. Similarly, if they've got Ace it would be nice to also have Allo. Maybe they do and it wasn't mentioned in the article 🤷

If it's a unicowrn?

Ok, however - If I said "I live with my parents, Bob and Midge."

How many people are in my house?

How about "I live with my parents, Bob, and Midge"?

I'd say there's a specific and important distinction made by using the extra comma.

Oh, like the Cleric's Quintet, I loved that series! I should look for some more like it now that I know an overarching term for the genre... ... Wait a minute - I see what you're doing here 😐

This has been bugging me since yesterday. I really want to see Darth Smiley now...
