Pokemon having another huge W

Your trainer in #ScarletViolet will have no explicit gender.

When you first start the game you will be able to chose a base "style" and then customize it. All options are available for all trainers.

You can switch between the more femenine/masculine base styles at any time. pic.twitter.com/xQDqNnmSy9

So you're saying I- I mean, my friend can be a boy and wear a skirt?

Game of the year

 

[TheMightyP]

I need to see them hairstyles before I make any judgement on ScarVio doing away with the gender lock crap.

As in the gender lock was crap and I'm glad they removed it

 

[Jondolio]

I can't believe we're getting peak Pokémon twice this year, that's crazy

I keep forgetting that PLA came out this year and not 2021.

Somehow though, it has a nostalgia factor

So I was gonna say that something else is afoot here but then I remembered that every time I play Splatoon I pick the girl so uh...

I don't got room to say anything.

Honestly, girl Inkling is superior design wise in every Splatoon game, I'm a guy and I pick girl Inkling too. This is not usually the case for other games like Pokemon.

In ecery game I play. I pick the dude. Im already a girl, why do I wanna be the same thing in a game

Yeah it's weird to think it came out this year. Feels like way longer

I mean there's likely gonna be skirt options you can buy regardless

 

[TheMightyP]

For me it depends on a game by game basis. Pokemon I usually pick guy, but for Splatoon it's girl.

Now, it doesn't really matter now though given that genderlocking is thankfully going away, at most it's just voice changes.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I feel like the only one who generally likes the male Inkling designs. Lol.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

this is a great addition.

Because that means boys can wear the cool shirts too.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

It likely won't happen in God of War: Ragnarok but god damn how cool would that be if it did.

If Krampus was a secret boss you could fight as a Secret Christmas update. Also gives Kratos Santa armor after you kill him.

I say this because Krampus and Christmas does have Norse roots. In some versions, Krampus is apparently the son of Hel, daughter of Loki which makes Krampus Loki's grandson.

Odin also has some association with Santa, being one of the many figures that inspired him.

This is a huge step forward. I'm happy to have lived long enough to see this.

We respect all gender identities around here. This includes neopronouns

What does Xer mean? Is that an actual pronoun?

As far as I can tell it's only used by Twitter users.
Because I've never seen anyone outside that site use it unironically.

That's why I'm asking, cause I've never heard that pronoun before.

Might save my ass to know cause I wanted to make a star trek joke about it until I saw you got nailed by mods.

 

[TheMightyP]

Neopronoun, usually used for feminine people but don't neccesarily align with she/her or they/them (but not always the case).

It's more common than you think, 4% of LGBT youth use some form of Neopronoun

Wikipedia

Ignore the other dude lol

Wow I actually had no idea what it meant before.

Now that I had it explained it sounds weirdly specific.

Crazy what happens when you do your own research instead of making transphobic statements

 

[Aurane]

Seeing as we're on the topic; is it rude if one simply refers to them as they/them without the context of knowing what pronoun that they refer to themselves?

I can't confirm this being cis but iirc nobody would really get mad (and will probably lightly correct you).

 

[Schnee117]

It's generally encouraged to do that if you don't know someone's pronouns to begin with.

People usually dont get offended over that kind of thing, if they do that's on them not on you, dont worry.

Damn, now im curious about what it was that got you warned

By default, i always just say they or them if i dont know them personaly. Havent had anyone come at my throat yet but time will tell

Watched Black Adam with my brother today.

It wasn't anything special really, but the Justice Society was cool, the Rock was enjoyable enough and there were some neat anti-imperialist parts even if they didn't really go anywhere.

Overall, kinda mediocre but I enjoyed it.

 

[Wario Bros.]

With the first two Mario Party games, the last of the announced 2022 N64 games, releasing together in November, that leaves space for a December game too. But what could one be?

Kill it, Splatoon

Yeah, I really liked him and Hawkman and I ship it

I am 25 levels away from achieving the Dab.

I actually want my Octoling to hit the dab.

Need instant proof that the Steam Deck is amazing? SegaSonic the Hedgehog is probably by far the coolest game I got working because we can utilize the trackpads in place of the track ball and it feels exactly like the actual arcade controls! https://t.co/IgOtdI0YyF pic.twitter.com/ZdZU7plrsY

— chaomix (@chaomix) October 22, 2022

Honestly this is great, emulating SegaSonic is infamously tricky cause of the unique trackball controls

Some interesting notes on Shiny Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet.

For one, the sandwich making game has a recipe that boosts shiny rate.

Two, the auto battle feature will seemingly kill shiny Pokémon if your not paying attention.

So there can be more fun fail videos and a challenge in getting shiny Pokémon a bit more in this game like Legends.

I got clearance to confirm that my best friend's wife is pregnant. So happy for them.
