1 year agoThought it was good. haven’t read the original comics myself, but find the creators sub stack doodles funny enough, and also to give my friend (who is a big fan of the original comic) someone to talk to and/or complain about it with.
Enjoyed the little little lines/themes of queer/trans coding here and there. Have to wonder if those were in the script in the beginning or added over the last handful of years as the author increasingly laughs at his pre-transition self. https://www.imfineimfine.com/p/hindsight?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
Hot Take maybe; Player-sexuality as the norm is probably inevitable as more of these games tend towards adding mixed and diverse gender options. No developer wants to be the one deciding what combinations of body types, genders, pronouns, voices etc etc falls under ‘available to lesbian romance option’ or ‘available to straight male flirting’.
That said, my preference is still set sexuality. Especially the more grounded a setting. Judy from Cyberpunk (recency bias am I right) for example likely wouldn’t feel as real a character to me without the history of messy lesbian situation-ships thing she has going on.
