It's a game where the protagonist is almost entirely ambiguous allowing you to head canon nearly every aspect outside of being a courier doing a delivery.

Which begins with you being shot in the head and buried alive, before waking up to a doctor asking you how he did rebuilding you which is when you pick your gender, and customize your character.

The game is then full of queer content from characters and dialog, to having perks that let you choose to be straight/gay or taking both, bisexual with said perks being able to open further dialog with queer characters.

This isn't even touching on other elements of why roleplaying games, political games, among other types, or why genres like post apocalypse seem to extra resonate with parts of the queer community.

It's a deep topic that im sure theres countless essays, video and traditional digging into, not to mention plenty of discussions.

House of Leaves maybe?

GOG is drm free and provides offline installers for the games, updates, and dlcs. Even games with drm on steam.

You don't even need to install their client to download the installers or extras.

Look I usually only lurk because im too anxious but I have to say something.

Your logic is the exact logic my neo nazi family use. (not an exaggeration, I grew up around the klan)

"If they act like an N word, why cant I call them an N word, its not like im racist, i call stupid/criminal/bad whites N words too."

So i think anyone who uses this logic to justify a slurs usage should take a moment for self reflection.

(This is coming from someone who is queer and will use queer slurs only in certain company, in private, where everyone involved is aware and into it. (and even then I get uncomfy, especially when im in a new group and I don't know people and they start throwing words around.))

(Also to add I was one of those "slow" kids who has alot of history with the cruel things my family and others called me.

Its worth noting that cis allies, and others who don't care about their pronouns, giving/listing pronouns no matter what they are, both normalize pronouns and act as a sort of smoke screen for trans individuals by making pronouns stand out less.

Its also worth thinking about how listing pronouns publicly or wearing pronoun pins/patches serves the above but also to communicate safety and acceptance to others.

It can't be understated how nice it feels when you encounter someone while going through your day who's visibly communicating themselves as an ally without any words about it being spoken.

This isn't to disagree with any of your personal thoughts on it, just worth considering.

Something others haven't touched on is the burden all the scrapers are putting on small websites and forums.

Lots of niche/hobbyist site runners have repeatedly talked about how the scrapers inefficiently scrape the same pages, images, and files endlessly. Until they crash the site, run them out of bandwidth, or run up their bills till they cant afford to host a site they've been running for many years before this nonsense.

All in the futile pursuit of more to dump into the machine because of the belief if they just had more data all the issues with the models would finally be solved.

I just want to put a note here that my deleted comment was about how fucked americas healthcare system is, but i felt it was too rambly and personal.

But basically what everyone else said, its propaganda that america doesn't have all the exact same problems as countries that don't bankrupt you. Wait times are absurd, wether ER, primary care, or specialists.

And frequently we don't even bother seeking help because a combination of cost and how long it will take to even see someone.

For an option with less ad spam, the project has an itch page.

Im glad to find out about this program, seems fun to draw with.

While thats a list of plenty of unfortunate things, it's not exactly what people mean by drm, and in some cases kind of absurd for them to conflate.

DRM is generally refering to restrictions on your ability to install, share, and use a game.

Games having extra content thats connected to an online server or the creation of an account is unfortunate but not drm, theres also out dated ones in that list like the twitch drops in cyberpunk just being in the game now.

Online games having anti cheats and dependencies, or wanting you to have an account is also unfortunate especially if invasive but not a restriction on your ability to install or share a game.

In that list im only seeing DEFCON and Multiwinia having a key verification server which is supposed to be disabled in the offline installers. other games mention having verifications removed some seemingly unsuccessfully at the time of that post.

Alot of these things are issues with games preservation in general, something that GOG actually does alot to help with, theres plenty of old games that come with fixes, patches, and dlls that make them run on modern hardware that other online stores that still sell the games don't provide.

The thing about it not being drm is you can backup the installers, you can just give them to a friend, it doesnt phone home and check if this computer has some license, it doesn't try and match hardware, or limit you to a certain number of installs.

The more I see people demanding people stop using AAE online under the presumption they're appropriating culture, assuming they "grew up in white culture" as offtheair said further down. The more I feel this is attempts at invalidating AAE as a language again.

It's the same mentality that originally gave that its somehow incorrect language, as in the "vernacular" distinction they also made further down.

The people saying its meme words are missing the point, but so is anyone whos under the assumption that cultures don't mix, that people dont pick up words, sayings, and ways of speaking from the people they spend time around.

I just see more and more people making assumptions online and demanding people "speak correctly for their race" which is a whole can of worms from the past being repackaged in new wrapping paper.

During a post-development interview in the Japanese Nintendo Official Guide Book for Super Metroid, when asked if there were any secrets about Samus that only he knew, Matsuoka claimed that Samus was actually a "newhalf", a Japanese slang term for a transgender woman.

It has been debated since but plenty of people choose to stick with his statement.

"Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you"

another ad that ends with this that runs relentlessly in my state (the joys of purple states), is about how under Kamala as DA, trans inmates were given trans healthcare.

All the ads are so vile, and its all hate against various minorities.

Edit: Side thought since i never post, companies who choose to take their hate money and run their propaganda should be held accountable for stochastic terrorism, but of course so should public figures.

Stirring up hate and getting people hate crimed and shit, there should be heavy penalties.

I don't have a ton to add but I've had problems with eating, some months back a good friend hit me with something like "you want your body to be more feminine shaped yea, your body cant redistribute fat you don't have."

So I've started putting on weight and its all going to my hips and ass xd

On appetite, I've fluctuated between eating way less and having an insatiable appetite, and its definitely alot like first puberty and the body just craving things.

I'm at a year and a half abouts, and its wild to look at my biceps and see the stretch marks from when they were significantly bigger, I was never super athletic but I was naturally stocky. Now i can fit my hand in a pringle can which blows my mind.

I don't know about what people may deem offensive, but when I've made friends with people with identities similar to this, the terms Aphrodisian or Salmacian have been the main ones ive seen used for self identifying.

Show Me the Body is great.
