  • In agile development. You do a little, release. Otherwise it is too big and may never be done. The fact they committed resources to improve this is a positive. The hope is they build on it and add more options.

    However, if they get trashed for trying, they and many other companies may not try. Why spend money to get a bad reputation when the spending nothing creates less I’ll will to the company. That is ultimately the decision Product Owners and Designers will weigh up.

    I think for progress, the best approach is maybe “positive first step but more options are needed for non-bonary for this to really make players feel comfortable”.

    From a technical perspective, separating pronoun hard coding from the models gives more scope to give more options in the future, however, as someone mentioned, there is a lot of art work needed on assets and animations so the new shapes function the same in all cases.


  • First one is about Germany, not UK. Secondly, you do realise wikipedia is unreliable, prone to edit wars and subject to those that have the most passion for a topic (like free speech “absolutists”/racists). It’s why academia tell you its a poor reference and to not bother.

    Can you find a UK example that you think overstepped the line?

    I’m in the UK, critical of Israel and not been arrested yet…

    It’s always interesting seeing distrorted American views of the UK.











  • What you are referring to is heuristics. It’s simplistic. Effective for wild animals that require processing of complex information quickly to escape predators for example, but not so much for civilised humans that require a greater deal of accuracy.

    You demonstrated the ineffectiveness of the approach by assuming I’m a Democrat or even American.

    The skill is in understanding the process, the flaw and developing a capability for critical thought. You’ll get there eventually, hopefully.


  • I’m on that instance and not a tankie. I’m politically left, but object completely to authoritarianism and justification of atrocities.

    So yeah, I get annoyed when pricks generalise and wish my death upon me for thinking maybe we should help the poorest in society and don’t think the super rich deserve every penny they get.

    I find it ironic when people are hating on one political grouping and their conduct is no better than the ones they despise.




  • If Russia use them and NATO respond with nukes or anything that will cause major problems, they’ll send their nukes to the West (Europe, US), and the West will send them back. These will be done under orders if they do not hear anything, and very little action will be quick enough to prevent it.

    Mutually assured destruction. The question would be who would survive? NZ? South America? Africa? Asia?

    I’m fucked personally as I’m in the UK.

    I would rather we didn’t masturbate over nuclear weapons because what happened to Japan would be nothing compared to the loss of life on a global scale. It is a good option for nobody.
