If it's mandatory then how would the extra voting period be decisive? Wouldn't everyone eligible to vote cast the ballot either way, or am I misunderstanding how "mandatory" works here?

Isn't that what happened with Hillary and Trump?

In the original Puss in Boots tale, the youngest son does exactly fuck all and ends up married to the princess because his cat was magical.

I looked her up, not only is she plastic, but she's plastic specifically in the "common makeup-caked thot" way that I very rarely hear any man say is more attractive than the alternatives.
If this is 11/10 to you then you should move to Russia, they're a dime a dozen here.

I don't know if there are any old characters in Genshin, but some other Asian games do the thing where a character is meant to be 50-80 and all that signifies it is 2 lines on the otherwise young face. Maybe a hunched over model if they're brave. It looks silly and lazy.

Doesn't that mean that Diablo 2 redesigns were made with different motivation than the usual "auntify women, leave men the same"?

I suppose quite soon everyone will be able to tiktok filter their games in real time, making any problems moot.

Unsurprisingly, most people really didn't like it.
Silksong is 89% positive on Steam compared to Hollow Knight's 96% positive. While a reduction, I would not call it "most people didn't like it".

The obviously corruption-infested right hand? Why wouldn't it be larger than normal?

If we're going to argue about bad faith then the chuds on xitter who are angry that a game isn't 100% white males by volume are just as guilty.

I suppose I could see that some part of the backlash are people with a very ingrained artist background getting wrong vibes from the proportions. I wouldn't see any difference without side by side comparison.
And in any case, as you said, there is a variance. Isn't it more realistic that a woman with mannish proportions would be better suited to the job of an adventurer?
It's culture war overdose. No one would call her looking like a trans male 20 years ago. Hell, not even 10 years ago. There's a word for a woman with short hair and "jaw too sharp" or whatever: it's called a tomboy.
I do not share the visceral disgust for shades darker than white some people seem to have, and consider having them in the game to be generally an improvement in the same way having several sprites for weapons (that perform the same thing) would be.
It's a game. I don't care about unrealistic female frontline combatants or "historically accurate" racial representation (especially in the games that are not even set on Earth). I want to see many different things in it unless the game, or the particular part of it, is explicitly about everything being the same. I don't want a gaggle of generic anime waifus as a cast.
The same reason why the chuds defend "their" games from woke hecklers who want more diversity. Even if they wouldn't mind a bit more diversity, surrender to the people who hate you and don't participate in your hobbies anyway (or participate in all the wrong ways) is a mistake.
From my perspective, more likely than not a partisan criticising a piece of media based on political aesthetics - from either side - is likely to be retarded and shouldn't be listened to if we are to enjoy good shit.

Either that or sell fast lane subscriptions and everyone else is still in traffic.

Not quite a videogame but I've finished DMing the Exalted scenario I've been running. Taking a break now before I continue (if I continue).
Fairly stressful as my first DMing experience, but decent. The struggle with the roll20 module and its quirks was a good part of it. If y'all use VTT, make sure it's a very good setup before you commit, or just stick to google sheets.
I can see what some people meant when they say "don't play TTRPGs with friends". As in, it's fine to include friends, but it's really not something everyone in a given circle of friends is going to be apt for. Better to fill extra slots with enthusiastic strangers.
(If Baldur's Gate is a videogame then multiplayer Baldur's Gate I have to run on my brain is still a videogame)

Quote from FFT OP:
This thread is not for anything Culture War related
Content that is both fun and CW is thus excluded.
If you don't think a particular post fits those declared standards, you should be reporting it.

Therefore jokes about sex and sexuality are not fun, therefore not funny, therefore do not count as jokes.
The quote above doesn't say sex jokes aren't funny. It says sex jokes are CW material and belong in the CW material thread, even if they're funny.

Depends on who lives to negotiate peace. Could be pretty sweet to the point where Russian natives regularly make grumbling sounds in the general direction of "who's supposed to be the vassal state here".
It's not a society I would like to live in, but on the metrics of their traditions being unmolested by the imperial center and their coffers being filled from the Tsar's treasury, they rank quite high.

You are going to evoke concepts such as "good" or "truth" knowing it has no stable grounding and that tomorrow it can completely invert.
I will, while you invoke them not knowing that tomorrow they can completely invert.
Justification is not subjective, it is normative otherwise I can just say that Conan's response to question of what is good in life in form of "Crush your enemies, drive them before you and listen to lamentation of their women" is "justified" by his subjective perception of "philosophical concepts". So it then at least two of the criteria of Justified True Belief are met, and since truth is also subjective, Conan's moral prerogative counts as Justified True Belief as well in this insane system. It is "his Truth" in postmodern sense. Your subjective relativistic worldview completely vacates any possibility of truth, goodness and even possibility of any debate . *It's Conan's truth bro, he justifies it by his subjective experience of philosophical and moral concepts just like you, leave him be".
Debate is when you try to convince Conan that he doesn't see everything there is and so his "good" will eventually lead to his "bad". Such as, for example, positing that there is an entity that he couldn't possibly see whose good alings with your good more than his, which is capable of inflicting arbitrarily high punishment on Conan for diverting.
When that debate fails, people go secular and shoot Conan dead.
Or I can say that my philosophical concepts are "justified" because of "sbd sfnwefg esfdge".
This is exactly what you're saying when you say "God". "My philosophical concepts are justified because I say so".
I do not suffer from your problem
I do not suffer either, because just like you, I'm perfectly capable of telling myself "actually my beliefs do have grounding". As long as you're convinced that there is no point in looking for any common ground unless it is on your Christian terms, I do not see the point of saying more.
At the end of the day no amount of constructing philosophical concepts like God and declaring that it is that concept alone that provides meaning will actually change anything. I will continue to act as if my actions hold meaning despite no materialistic evidence to it (I never said I am a materialist).
You seem to believe that I need some objective philosophical justification. Untrue: I only need a subjective philosophical justification. That's all I have, and furthermore that's all you have, because your perception of so-called objective philosophical concepts is itself subjective. Who knows, maybe you're the one who lives in the Matrix and what you believe and remember about the Christian God's goodness changes on the daily.
(Why was it the Christian God again, specifically?)
Needless to say, whether you or I live in the Matrix or the Boltzmann brains or whatever perfect illusion you conceive would have absolutely no, zero, nada bearing on what we believe and do. Suppose I even admitted that some sort of objective morality must conceptually exist. It would change nothing because there is no basis on accepting any religion as the true source of that objective morality. For all we know, God wants us to do the complete opposite of what you believe God wants us to do.
You claim God is the only possible basis for truth, yet who said that truth has any relation to the world around us? You claim God is what gives life purpose, yet who said that this purpose needs to be benevolent? What exactly would be the point of having a purpose if that purpose is, for example, to suffer in confusion.
Oh really? Were you there 2000 year ago as some elf from Tolkien story?
Don't tell me that you can't tell the difference between me having been there and the kind of thinking being similar.

You do not have any grounding for epistemology either.
I have the same grounding as yours: my senses and reason. These are not perfect. You talk about a human not having the capacity to judge God, but your positive claims about God are no less hubristic than Job's attempt to judge God. Your claims of objective morality are unfounded.
Guess what, what is obvious to you is completely alien to somebody else such as saying that of course my sense of morality is based partly on meat desires.
Do not pretend that "knowing true things is good, believing in false things is bad" is something that wouldn't be obvious to you even without any religious indoctrination. You don't need God to not walk into traffic, assured that the traffic isn't there.
You are a nihilist, your declaration of something being good has the same meaning as writing "safbdsnbdsv a,fmbdsf sdfd" - an equally arbitrary and meaningless statement.
You would not be replying if what I was saying was random noise. You act as if informational value below 1 is the same as zero.
So stop appropriating moral language of Christianity that actually at least allows for objective morality to exist in its paradigm and pressuposition.
The kind of morality I am employing predates Christianity and operates closer to reality. Rich of you to forbid me to use maths because your version of maths allows division by zero.
I think there is plenty of ground yet to be taken on AI greatly encomplexing one's life. For example, if you're not inclined to "plug in" all aspects of your life into a corporate AI (does corporate software such as dating apps currently inspire your trust???), you must go local model. Keeping up with the rest of the world on local models sounds like it will be as complex as a mom and pop store keeping up with Amazon.
Many people's job before hinged on being of slightly higher than average intelligence and having a lot of domain knowledge and legacy knowledge. Now an AI can simply figure out what they get paid to know and they'll have only their raw personal qualities to leverage once the market adjusts. Worst case scenario, you won't be able to make a living in IT unless you can be your own project lead and product manager. That makes life more complex.
