I picked up Veilguard because I enjoyed Origins and Inquisition. The second game… at this point, I don’t think I took it right and its my problem and I need to give it another chance.

I’m still very early into the game, but the only “woke” thing I’ve seen so far is variable gender identity during character creation.

You want to play a “woman” who looks masculine, with atypical male traits, even a penis, and a deep voice? You know what, I’m glad the option is open to people. It doesn’t vibe with me personally, but I’m glad that people I care about can make a character that is “them,” because who hasn’t made themselves in an RPG at some point in their life, best they were able.

Again, I’m early to it, but that is all of the “woke” shit I’ve seen.

For the record, I have friends and family in the LGTBQ+(whatever, doesn’t matter) that I support.

I don’t want hate in my heart, and I’ve worked very hard to overcome some biases that came from my more “southern” upbringing. Hell, one of those biased views from the past is now openly trans, and I was the only family member they talked to because they couldn’t talk to anyone else.

I’m imperfect, as all humans are, but it isn’t hard to fucking TRY, just a little, to realize that someone else’s self image and happiness doesn’t affect mine other than what pronouns I use to refer to them. Fuck, its not hard. Just don’t be a dick.

My second job was as a “Sandwich Artist.”

I’m aware, more so than some others.

Also, if you like tuna fish sandwiches there has been a long standing question of whether or not there is actual tuna in their cans. But what I can say, with certainty, at least when I worked there, that the recipe was 90% shitty mayo and very little anything else.

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all Abrahamic religions.

To break it down, essentially, different flavors of the same core “food.”

Christianity believes in Christ (Jesus Christ) as the messiah and savior. Judaism does not consider Christ to be the messiah, and are still waiting. Islam believes that Jesus was a prophet of the lord (same lord, god, etc) but Mohamed was the first, and thus best (hearkening back to early internet “first” posts that were utterly pointless).

Its all the same shit, but go on.

Yeah, TNO is absolutely an individual character you happen to be in the shoes of.

Without spoiling anything, the game IS TNO’s story.

If that doesn’t interest you, best of luck in your refund request.

That being said, I’ve only gotten around to getting one tattoo in my life - The rune of torment.

Yeah, my first thought was the advertisement probably didn’t include anything that was actually food.

Of course, the definition of food seems to keep changing as the decades pass by.

I had a vasectomy 14 years ago.

Even if 100% male contraceptive becomes available it was still a wise decision on my part because who knows many mistakes I would have made in the time before it became available?

And, if 100% male contraceptive becomes available, I still wouldn’t want to get it reversed. I’ve never faltered from my position on not having any biological children.

Bottom left doesn’t fit my tastes in the slightest, but I’ll fight for consenting adults to be able to do whatever the fuck they want behind closed doors.

Donated and became a member for legal protection in a very red state.

I’ve grown differently from Satanism into other areas, but being able to produce a membership card for a legally recognized religion that isn’t Christian has its perks in some work places.

Mainly, the group is LITIGIOUS as fuck. They will go to court for a person’s employee rights. It wouldn’t be the first time.

I’ve never hit the end game goal.

After picking easier biomes to begin with, and a couple QOL mods, I’ve enjoyed every second.

Ever pissed off a turtle? Their bite hurts, even for the smaller ones.

Yes, one would normally prefer a fixed blade.

However, depending on local laws, that may not be possible to carry.

That reminds me, I’m moving soon, I need to check out some various laws for the new place.

I don’t disagree. I tend to have on shows I’ve seen before. Its background noise more than anything.

Anything more complex than a sit com or such, and I get lost because I wasn’t paying attention. I’m not very good at just sitting and watching a movie without something else to occupy my hands/mind.

As a born US citizen, yeah, our shit is fucked. Especially if the GOP stays in power. Back to the puritan days of Plymouth.

If my wife didn’t have such a fear of flying, we’d leave the country.

Even GOT missed the mark by the end, if you believe the media sources.

I watched the first season. It was alright.

Usually when I consume movies/TV I’m also gaming, so I didn’t get the full impact. My attention was certainly divided.

I use proton pass currently.

My life is changing in less than two weeks.

I have an enterprise grade server that I can’t run for a variety of home reasons.

When me and the wife… for lack of a better term, escape, our situation, I’ll be able to self host. I know its gonna be a struggle, I have things to learn, and that is why I’m so excited.

My first job was in a nursing home. I lasted three weeks.

First let me say, the place was horrible and the state shut it down a week after I left, so my experiences tend to the dramatic.

I’ve worked Medical IT for a long time and I have to say, even in IT, patient care is a priority.

I’ve told a president of the company they can go fuck themselves because a patient needed assistance. Thankfully, they saw my point (this was not the nursing home)

All that said, this nursing home was awful. I washed dishes. That was it. I didn’t have to bus trays, or any of it, it all got dumped on my sink and I washed it. I got paid minimum wage, and had difficulty with things like taking a state mandated lunch break. Yeah.

I got dishes back from both the lunch room and the guest rooms.

The stuff that came back from guest rooms haunted me.

We’re talking about a person who has lost the plot, so to speak, and is not sensible; stuffing mashed potatoes and napkins into a cup and it festered. I don’t mean like, it was room temperature and gross - thats whatever. The shit that came from their rooms was a biohazard.

Medical work is gross, and grueling, but at the end of the day, maybe you helped someone. I wasn’t clinical, but I spent enough time in patient rooms fixing stuff to get to know a few.

I didn’t cure their condition, but when a child wakes up screaming in a hospital bed, sometimes its just an IT guy who is there to calm them down, let them know their situation (as best you can, I don’t have their medical info) so they stop freaking and pulling out IVs and sensors and shit.

I know this type of information from an IT help desk job. Medical IT. Shit gets weird in hospitals.

Oh fuck me, I’m still studying to red team basic computing.

Biden is so far right of Communism that their ignorance is almost humorous, if it wasn’t dangerous. Not to mention their guy called out to his Russian handlers on national TV for help, but at least Russian’s are mostly white, I guess?

Promising blood, pain, war, and suffering - so swallow their rhetoric or be ready to be enslaved. Freedom of religion? The fuck does that mean?

I take it you’ve never had to log into a printer with an AD account before?

Yeah, I went out to 32 characters once. Until I needed to work on a printer.
