How many extra pronouns are now in the game?

This reminds me of the game Lunacid. It has mandatory pronoun selection at the beginning and there are like 20 of them. Every NPC refers to you only by name so the pronoun selection was put in specifically to annoy gamer chuds and I'm all for it

I heart Lunacid
- It has the absolute perfect vibe. I tried getting into Dread Delusion but it was too tedious for me. I need more King's Field-likes.
And, if I remember right, it defaults to they/them lol

That game sounds awesome

- I'm into it but I'm very fucking pissed we got Horse Stranding before Bicycle Stranding
- It sounds like the best parts of RDR2 - they've taken out all that annoying combat to focus on hanging out with your horse!!!
Holy fuck yes it does

Notice how 99% of the time, anyone who replied negatively was pathetic enough to pay for twitter 🤔

I need to know the origin of this gif.

They really, really think that Concord failed because of Woke huh?

At some level, that these anti-“woke” g@mers are effectively apologizing for and distracting from the things that are actually a problem with the industry right now annoys me more than the bigotry. No no, don’t be complaining about microtransactions and live service and season pass models and paint-by-numbers hero shooters, the problem is woman with spunky hair cuts in vidya.

I think one of the primary reasons why I didn't become a chud is that I came to a very important realization

Not everything is for me, and that doesn't mean that it's stupid or woke, it's just not something that fits my taste

The pipeline from 13th century Mongolia with no combat? Sounds lame to They're ruining video gaming with woke pronouns and femoid gays is actually more like a water slide

- Rage is an emotion sweaty (that one smug emoji idk how to do them in this app)
  
  Edit:
- 🍸 There's not even giant crabs to fight
These people don't actually like or respect games, they like being catered to.
- Yep
  
  They think they're like some Lorenzo De Medici rich art patron
  
  They're just hogs at the trough

erm-this-you

these people sure have a very limited set of games they can play now aint it

They're playing the games anyway and their steam accounts prove it.
- They just don't count the ones they like. Baldurs gate 3 is the prime example.

sometimes i wonder how these dorks would react if they opened up an english grammar book, seeing as how they keep freaking out at the mere existence of a vital part of every language in the world

i wonder if in the future there will be a reich-wing dialect of english where it just gets rid of pronouns altogether from the parts of speech and the english language because oOgA bOoGa ProNouns sCaWy... somehow. and replace them with nouns/names.

The thing that pisses me off endlessly about this is that they act like they're mad about the concept of pronouns, which makes them look like childish morons, but what they're actually angry about is the idea that someone has a say over how others are to refer to them. Just say that!

  I think they're just mad trans people exist, and pronoun selection reminds them of that.
  
  It fits with their bullshit about wanting non-political games. Their politics are fueled by hatred, and it infects their escapist treats to be reminded of the mere existence of minorities and trans people.

you know this bozo wouldn't play the game unless his character and his horse had DDD booba, jiggiling boobily in customizable matching leather and polished silver string bikinis.

What about the horses pronouns?

I hope they add neigh/nem just for the blue check chuds lol

E: neigh, not nay

It takes 120 hours of developer time for each pronoun, making the game more expensive for everyone 😔

They're manually typing out every string with different pronouns, like

SHE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "She has the fastest horse." HE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "He has the fastest horse." THEY_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "They have the fastest horse." ZIE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "Zie has the fastest horse."
- FRENCH_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "Zie has zie fastest horse hohohoh~"
- from woke import pronouns
Actually adding the pronoun takes 30 seconds. The rest of the 120 hours is scrolling Hexbear
- I'm reporting you for woke time theft
  
  spoiler
  
  let's look over those time charts

this is truly going to be the decade of chill mail and package delivery games

Hideo Kojima started it lol
- There's 7 hours of cutscenes in Death Stranding and one is more than half an hour long. Let the man make films so we don't have to plod through mocap anymore

Death Stranding on horseback? I would play that in a heartbeat

Every time someone complains about pronouns, they will be assigned one (1) additional pronoun

Every time someone complains about pronouns

As you wish, your new pronoun is ㄍ昂/ꄡ潣

Oh you'd like to be the Tzar's courier? Yeah you'd like that, wouldn't you? I thought exactly the same in your age, that one could just... jump on a horse and throw letters around everywhere whenever I felt like it. As if the tzar doesn't have better things to do than go around looking under random oxen for letters that you've thrown haphharzardly.
It's a fine idea. Maybe not for you though. You can be a ringbinder is what you can be.

This is a deep cut for maybe one other person on this site

Unless this person is an expert in 13th Century Mongolian linguistics, I fail to see how they even could feel able to decry pronoun choices as being ahistorical (not that that would even really matter for a vidgam).

The funny part is that they haven't even tried to justify their opinion like that yet. They are just mad in general about the possibility of words being used in a way they refuse to understand.

Me when the vimblio jame says "The champion is over there, they are very brave!" instead of a preferred pronoun. lets-fucking-go

they

Comrade, I regret to inform you that they is also a pronoun. There is no escaping the woke gulag.

Shadow Of The Colossus Without Boss Battles does actually sound pretty cool. as long as it lets me climb stuff sometimes and doesn't have the always-over-the-right-shoulder-with-no-way-to-switch fortnite camera every game seemingly has to have these days.

That sounds fun

If this appeals to you I suggest trying out Shadow of the Colossus. It’s not exactly what the OP is describing but there are long stretches where you just ride a horse through scenic wilderness.
