@Furin not your fault, it appears I broke it at some point while refactoring the table code yesterday and somehow didn't notice. Give me some time to figure out exactly what change caused this.

Considering I've now been called an autistic faggot, I'd say "seemingly" doesn't apply here.

Yes some people will offend you gratuitously for no apparent reason, but don't let it get to your nerves. I appreciate the work you're doing.

It's inherent to allowing open discussions. I understand it's not for everyone, but if you're keen to stay around you can add specific posters to your ignore list.Furin wrote: ↑ April 7th, 2024, 21:47Considering I've now been called an autistic faggot, I'd say "seemingly" doesn't apply here.

After some thought, I think I'll change Morrowind to informational. We've had a lot of good discussion here and I can see why some disagree with one npc/story progression option being overtly pro-LGBTQ+. The review will make note of Crassius and his behavior but will also say it is unclear whether this is pro or anti LGBTQ+.

I've read through the discussion and it seems to me there isn't a real consensus on whether Kyros's sex ambiguity can be considered Woke or not.Element wrote: ↑ April 7th, 2024, 07:48There's a pinned thread by Twig in the RPG board.

There's a gay human/orc couple in the last town.
There's definitely gay stuff in this. Linzi is very subtly gay, Octavia and Regongar are bisexuals in an open relationship, the tiefling twins are also bisexual.

I disagree on Tyranny it's certainly not mild, it's rather high.
...
However, I am rather interested in what you said here: "ranting about the justice being above such things etc. Sirin mentions that there's blankness under the mask."
To me, that sounds a lot like a (perhaps subtle) message about a person being able to exist outside gender norms.
I'm thinking of listing Tyranny as not recomended with that specific social commentary, Sirin using they/them to refer to Kyros, and the existence of minor gay characters as examples of an overtly pro-LGBTQ+ message. Any additional thoughts?

Ha, it's this new guy's first day and he's already ignored several people. Including me! Harmless me of all people.
I guess he's going to fit right in.

Tyranny was rushed & very unfinished so I think it would be difficult to come to a decision regarding its content tbh.
I've made the choice to ignore anyone that engages in ad hominem attacks against me or anyone else.Acrux wrote: ↑ April 8th, 2024, 01:36Ha, it's this new guy's first day and he's already ignored several people. Including me! Harmless me of all people.

So yes, that includes you. I wouldn't call denigrating my posts as "reddit-tier" to be anything other than ad hominem.
You and people like you can denigrate my posts and call me all the names you want. It's just more ad hominem and I'd rather not engage with it anymore.
Or would you like to actually add something of value to the discussion here?

You really aren't trying to fit into our culture at all, are you? I don't care if you ignore me.
I also think you come across as extremely self-important. If you're planning on being a culture warrior, you'd better get a thicker skin.
Nah. It's cool that you want to put this list together. I think it's weird that you explicitly restrict people from copying it or linking to it here or that you come here and lecture us about our site's culture.Furin wrote: ↑ April 8th, 2024, 01:47Or would you like to actually add something of value to the discussion here?

And as Rusty points out, the explanation for why is in the line below that.
To elaborate, I want to direct people to the Steam group so they can benefit from the curator and join in discussion there, not just here.

the ignore function has to be the worst feature ever
Alright, fair enough. I guess I was mistaken. We've had kerfuffles recently about modders who take a very narrow view of other people expanding on their mods, so I suppose I had that in my mind when I read it.
I do still think the other stuff, though.

When exactly did I lecture anyone about the site's culture? Aren't you generalizing just a little there? Your first interaction with me here was to denigrate me. Is that the culture you're talking about? A culture where you bully and denigrate someone new?
I've already had some nice and productive conversations with multiple people, yet you blame me for being the problem? You haven't tried interacting with me in a positive way at all.

The inability to handle flak or negativity is sorta contrary to the culture here is what I assume he's talking about. This isn't supposed to be a hugbox, nor do most of us care about fallacies. The real world doesn't care about them nor do the people who pollute our games and communities, and honestly, anyone worth his mettle should be able to handle that.Furin wrote: ↑ April 8th, 2024, 02:17Thank you for the feedback.Acrux wrote: ↑ April 8th, 2024, 01:56You really aren't trying to fit into our culture at all, are you?

Furin has only once interacted in a topic outside his own, and it was strictly to announce his product. Why lecture the guy about accepting the "forum's culture" if he hasn't shown any interest in engaging with people outside this topic and is clearly here only because he wants to announce his product and get feedback?
I'm not against interacting with people, I just don't like when they engage in ad hominem attacks. I don't want to have to ignore anyone. Is that not evidence I'm trying to fit in here?Acrux wrote: ↑ April 8th, 2024, 02:20Yes

You're going to be called nazi by the woke left, they've gone bananas.

The issue here, from what I gathered, is that you started complaining when people criticized your product (even if it was just simple jesting that you considered to be ad hominem). People here don't like this kind of tone so it's only made matters worse.Furin wrote: ↑ April 8th, 2024, 02:27I'm not like the left calling for censorship or deplatforming.

But well, you're not the only one user who opts to just shut down everything by spamming the ignore function. But be aware that other people you bring in will also be subjected to the "forum's culture". You can either choose to change your idea and try to fit in, just ignore and tolerate it, or well, leave. The second option is honestly not too bad, there are other content creators that don't accept the forum's culture, don't fit in, but still hosts their content here and accept their newfags occasionally getting shit on by the userbase, because they think the complete freedom of expression to host your content without any worries this forum offers is well worth it.
Rusty invited you because he's interested in people going against the woke culture coming and hosting their product here. It won't mean the community's culture will be changed to cater to anybody though.
