So that's where my penis went.

I'm actually doing a special run of VIII right now. Each character sticks to one class (Rinoa is a black mage, Selphie is a white mage, etc.) No junctioning magic to stats, but you can junction GF abilities like STR+20% or MAG+40%. No Encounter Half or None abilities and no running from battles. I haven't played in a while but I think I was also restricting characters to drawing only spells related to their class, if I was letting them draw magic at all. I might have to start over because I might have forgotten some of the restrictions. Plus I got stuck at that damn tank boss at the missile base.

Once you know his pattern he's easy to beat.

Silverware can't go in the microwave?

That's just my Halloween costume. Don't ask why I'm wearing it now.

I.....I love you.

Do I look like a goddamn cheeseburger?

because this is satisfying af.

My sister.

I sold mine a year ago and I finally regret doing it.

I checked a guide and I can still get every weapon and accessory. This might actually happen.

It's because their fans idolize them so they turn into entitled cunts.

They couldn't make her a little taller?

He loves you but he won't fuck you. Yeah, ok.

He's horny and you're easy.

I think it's better on subsequent playthroughs because you know what you're doing from the start and can skip all the tutorials. It improves the pace of the game a lot.

How to not get hired by a company again.

I didn't post that. Someone hacked my account.

Write up a will and leave me everything.

My bad. In all honesty, my interest in Japan ends at video games. And even that's dying down. And I meant more that those issues haven't been a huge part of the gaming community over there. At least not as big as over here.

I don't care how rare it is. My point was that it happens.

THAT'S the "most transphobic thing ever"? Trans people really need to stop bitching if this is as bad as they have it.

I guess I just don't consider this mishandling a trans character. If another character did go out of their way to convince them not to transition I could almost see why they might be offended, but that didn't happen. This character just didn't and lived as a gay man instead. It seems by their logic that the character transitioning would somehow make the game homophobic. And to be fair, this is a Japanese developer. They have an entirely different culture. They don't really care about identity politics as far as I've seen. I don't believe that they purposefully tried to be derogatory towards trans people.

From what I understand, they're upset because Catherine apparently somehow forced or talked Erica into not transitioning, which isn't the case. I don't understand how a character simply not transitioning is somehow transphobic. There are trans people who regret transitioning and wouldn't do it again if given the opportunity. Are those people transphobic too? I'm just not wrapping my head around this.
