  • Biological sex is far more complicated than small and large gametes. You can choose (somewhat arbitrarily) to define biological sex by one or more of

    • chromosomal sex (which has a variety of variations beyond just xx and xy, so you’re fucked for choosing a binary here)
    • hormonal sex (which has a variety of variations beyond just “male hormones” and “female hormones”, so you’re fucked for choosing a binary here)
    • reproductive sex (which is gonna leave you defining a lot of people quite incorrectly compared to the other criteria listed)
    • how receptive their cells are to particular hormones (which will vary wildly from person to person, so good luck shoving this into a binary)

    The only people who think biological sex is a simple categorisation are people who don’t fully understand the biology of sex.








  • Favourite: Steam Deck, hands down. It has totally revolutionised the way I play games. I very often choose to play games on my deck instead of on my far more powerful pc.

    Least favourite: Smartphone. The closest I’ve come to having an enjoyable traditional gaming experience on a smartphone was Sky: Children of the Light but even then I was constantly getting frustrated with the touchscreen controls and dealing with my phone getting as hot as the surface of the sun. Its also just not a comfortable shape to hold while you game.





  • Eh, but maybe the barbarian should have to think about whether smash is the right path forward?

    Also, you can have an individual group of enemies who are very clearly definitely evil without needing to relegate an entire species to it.

    That said I run campaigns which are pretty far removed from my players wanting to smash dudes without a second thought.
