The future of PC gaming is an RPG I just played where in the character creation screen, you were asked what pronoun your character would like to use - as a separate choice from their gender.

If you grew a pair and played some proper games this wouldn't be an issue.

My female gender dwarf fighter who uses the pronoun "he" is going to grow a pair as soon as he finds the right potion.

People have been prancing about like big girls in RPG's since time immemorial, or more accurately about 1985.

Having nothing whatsoever to prove, I choose to identify as a 6 foot-6 Viking that bears about as much resemblance to me as I do to Miley Cyrus.

I think it's fair to say that his politics are somewhat to the right of Genghis Khan. But that's OK.

Murder hobos are the foundation of all cRPGs. We lost so much when we move away from them and towards story. Barf.

"Murder hobos"??? That sounds like my kind of deal.

Tabletop RPGs like D&D were built on the idea of murder hobos. Homeless parties of adventurers going around killing things and grabbing their loot.

I don't go quite that far back, but I did play a lot of text adventures back in the day. I suspect there are still maps tucked away at my mum's house. If I ever get to visit, I'll need to make sure I destroy them.

I installed it and didn't like it. I probably need to give it a better shake down.

From what I understand it's a bit hard-core, which isn't always as much fun as it sounds. My current PC won't run it - I'm upgrading soon....
