Huh, usually only those that meet me in person call me God.

Your very specific description of plant sex made me see heaven.

[Spehss _]

Wow, if the pollen were think enough to be visible I think I would actually up and die being there. There's got to be a point where you just can't function any more, and I think those conditions would be more than met.

Don't come to Central Texas then. There's so much cedar pollen around in spring that you can see stuff like benches or cars be covered in a fine green layer of dusty plant semen.

So I was gonna play a little Cities Skylines.

Whenever I think I may get into an argument on the internet, my heart starts beating harder than usual, even though... it's an argument on the internet.

Apparently people are calling Final Fantasy XV sexist because it has an all the playable characters are male. This wouldn't be as confusing if it weren't for the fact that Final Fantasy X-2 only had female player characters and nobody called that sexist.

I think it's more because of the things the guy in charge said about it. I forget the exact reasoning he gave but it was something pretty dumb.

That describes anything said about any video game by the guy in charge of it.

No, it's about the cast

What is great about it though is that fans have made their voices heard in terms of Square Enix's rather sexist approach to Final Fantasy 15. They've been very critical of the presentation and lack of women and it's truly awesome to see gamers protesting against this sort of imagery. Good on you guys and girls!!

The "stupid" thing the guy in charge said:

Speaking honestly, an all-male party feels almost more approachable for players. Even the presence of one female in the group will change their behaviour, so that they'll act differently. So to give the most natural feeling, to make them feel sincere and honest, having them all the same gender made sense in that way," Tabata said. The game certainly doesn't shy away from the theme of male intimacy, with the party sharing a tent, protecting each other in battles, and holding no qualms about showing open concern for one another.
...
The world might be ready to see the curtain lifted on what boys do when girls aren't around, when they come out of the tent all prim and proper. That's kind of the idea behind it… we think, male or female player, that everyone will feel a certain connection and bond with the four characters."

A deliberate design choice that's getting lambasted because grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl gaming. In all honesty, the thing I'm most offended about is the franchise. Final Fantasy. Number 15. Should rename it Franchise Fantasy, at least that's more honest branding.
