In the Forgotten Realms, that wouldn't be seen as a problem.

https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Forgo ... ms_And_Sex
Forgotten Realms And Sex
The current Forgotten Realms material is highly sanitized from Ed's original vision. In FR as created by Ed:

Bisexuality is normal (and yes, this means the men as well as the women)
Transgenderism is encouraged by several deities so that priests can experience life as the other sex
"Revels" (some of which involve sex) are normal
"Festhalls" (many of which employ prostitutes as staff) are relatively common and visiting them is the normal way to spend an evening.
Prostitution is a core industry of the Forgotten Realms; "sex workers" are all over and there are about 40 different names for different kinds of prostitutes.
Incest is a normal way for noble families to "indulge feelings of mutual affection" (poor people don't as they can't afford the contraception)
Pretty much all of the immortal NPCs in the Realms have come to believe that accepted sexual norms such as temperance are ********, so they flout them. Constantly.
All of this is confirmed by Ed Greenwood himself via his responses to fan queries on the Candlekeep forum. So Saith Ed here, here, and here. It's also all completely 100% canon thanks to Ed's ludicrously favorable contract.

Of course, this isn't exactly out of place in certain historical periods and cultures. For example, the Greeks and Etruscans were particularly known for having frequent orgies, Canaanite religion frequently involved cross-dressing (which may be why the Bible and Torah forbids it) and the nobility of many cultures from the Ptolemaic Egyptians to Hawaii to the House of Habsburg practiced various forms of incest so as to keep power within the family and avoid muddling their bloodlines with peasant genome; Rome had all of the above at various points. Therefore, some individual cultures or nations with these things going on probably wouldn't be too far off the mark, and notably, the post that included the stuff about incest also included that Ed himself is against incest... but when the whole **** world is into this stuff, it's not treated as a problem, no one questions it, and there's no sign of things changing, then clearly the author has something on his mind.

In short, the Forgotten Realms are Ed Greenwood's magical realm as cleaned up by TSR and later Hasbro for general consumption, and the Romantic Encounters mod for Baldur's Gate is probably canon.

As of 5E given the trendiness of identity politics, WoTC has decided to embrace the first bullet-point, and there are random bits of homosexuality everywhere. Two men sharing a bed, a married pair of male porters and married pair of homesteaders, a gnome settlement with two kings, and a shopkeeper with nonbinary pronouns all appear in 5e adventures. An attempt to Retcon the massively corrupt and crime-ridden city of Waterdeep into "Seattle during Pride" was actually met with significant backlash.

No regular orgies in every village yet, but Rime of the Frostmaiden does feature a completely inbred town.

I don't trust any of it, we haven't been able to know how many copies of games sold since we moved away from physical units. At best, we could make some estimations when the Steam data leaked, especially on PC-exclusive/PC-focused titles.

I remember spending days modding MELE (34242 replay) only to remember how *** the gameplay was at times (I didn't get past ME1 due to the walking simulator it likes to be)

I just wanted to recc some cool games I played aged ago:
  • Torment: Tides of Numenera
  • Tyranny (bit woke)
I seldom if ever see them mentioned and they have the coolest maps I've ever played, esp. the first. At some point the map is literally just inside of a body of something. It was so ******* cool, man. It is a bit janky if I remember correctly people bitching about it, but I liked it all.

Are there any good (non japanese) crpg or turn based tactical game released in 2025? I mainly play these genres and soulslikes yet they are in a drought while even the worst soulslike game released this year still has merit and woke free. (Enotria/Hell is Us/AI Limit etc..) Idk why they have a bad rep here.

Patrol for hidden encampments of bums and fields of cannabis.

My guess is just some kind of abstract paneling, but why?

Always thought it was multiple panels for wires and who knows what else... pipes? Not only in games but this is common in many space/sci-fi movies. Based on airplane interiors?

They could also just be byproducts of modular production—similar to linkin logs or legos. Snap them together to taste, voila! spaceship!
