I am the biggest super fan of normal people in normal situations in otherwise extraordinary settings. For your star wars example, I'd even be a little turned off by the Han Solo types because even they are a bit fantastic. Give me some fucking Kolto merchant trading in the Chiss Ascendancy...

TSL was my jam, even without all the restored content, but now that the restoration patch is available, there really is no contest between it and the original. The plotline is just so creative and interesting! And even though the party members aren't the usual style, they are deeply intriguing...

Can we like... not? I mean, I know mod makers do SO MUCH WORK for next to nothing, but I feel like giving them the ability to charge is just going to kill the mod scene entirely. We'll be flooded with people who have no real interest in the game making simple mods in the hope to cash in. We'll...

Martell is in Dorne which sounds like paradise honestly, but Tyrell looks like it's going to have the most powerful folks, so I'm going to have to go... Greyjoy. Asha and Theon are my 100% faves in the books. (Yes, THAT Theon.) Plus, they worship a fucking sea monster. How could I choose...

Literally, you don't "want" anything when you're trans. You just ARE. Like, I am a trans woman, but I don't conform to many of the typical feminine things, save for my long hair and appreciation of romance novels. What's more important is that you feel a certain way. It's hard to explain to...

Templar story is kind of boring with the first quest (they apparently had a lot of big plans for it, but much was cut), but I prefer it for three reasons. One: Ser Barris, if you keep him alive, becomes a sort of mini-mission which can lead to useful stuff, and helps make the Inquisitor...

Dude, the fact that you went to therapists is a good thing, because it means that SOMEONE recognized that you needed help. Being trans is the exact same way. When you are a thirteen year old kid, right smack in the middle of EVERYONE you know changing via puberty, you're going to be hugely...

I like the concept but the execution is always weird to me, in movies at least. This is almost certainly because of the visual nature of things. In books and in theory, torture is REALLY thrilling and effective because the reader can imagine it in the way that would get their goat the most. In...

Kids make the decision to kill themselves at thirteen so I'd say it's just about the right time. Besides, you can't actually get any permanent surgery until you're 18, have visited two separate therapists for a decent time, and been on hormones for nearly two years anyway (in most of the US...

High five them, ask what to call them now, and then immediately book a therapist appointment so we could start the transition process ASAP. Anything less is the product of someone who doesn't understand what being trans is or someone who doesn't trust their kid to know themselves.

Sera! Number one babe! Kind of hard to play on nightmare though because I refuse to not bring her everywhere and I always play an archer myself. And then I like to bring Varric too... Lots of arrows. I know everyone and their grandma hates her, but tbh she's one of the most realistic characters...

Kate McKinnon is actually not! She's a Lesbian. Her first big part was on "The Big Gay Sketch Show" too, just in case there was any doubt.

lmao i guess I'll be the positive one! I'm excited for this! All of those ladies are way talented, and I can see them doing very well in the Ghostbusters universe. Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones are honestly the only people keeping SNL alive for me, Melissa McCarthy is always fantastic and has a...

Man idk about this. It's obviously not finished yet. On the topic of games about rape, I think a REALLY good one was Winter Voices. Man that game did it right. It was all about the aftermath, the mental toll. Annnnnd it was basically ignored by the public at large. Though that was probably...

Far Cry 2. I had been sent to blow up a weapons cache, and had worked my way stealthily through the camp and could see the weapons I needed to blow up. It was just then that I realized that I had only eight bullets left in my pistol, two grenades in my launcher, and that my assault rifle was...
