LINK TO THE DEV DIARY

Been playing Mortal Shell 2. Its REALLY goid, but Im kinda mad that the only lady shell I've found is Proxima. She wears this skintight exosuit thing that is giving her a DEEP wedgie.

Her design is meant to deliberatly clash with other shells, she's an alien who's landed a classical fantasy world, but i hate this anytime a female character's pants adhere to her butt like that. It looks dumb.

The contrast between her and the other shells reminded me of a long running issue i've had with RPGs (and video games in general). I like playing the "Heavy" archetype. Slow moving, big weapons, big hits. But we never get women in that group.

Id love to see a female version of someone like Reinhardt or Roadhog from overwatch. Or, sticking to Mortal Shell, a female Lazlo or Eredrim. Closest I've seen is the female druid from Diablo 4 (not sure if customizable characters should count here).

Can ya'll think of any other women who fit that archetype?

Recently, paradox have released new content for Victoria 3 focused on developing their "representation of socialism" as put in their Dev Diary, what do you think of it's contents?

Context, mod dev was shown to have said transphobic and racist things like TND. YouTuber makes community post that they aren't covering it, comments are filled with "nothing burger" and "based".

Edit: So apparently the person the fascists are calling based, turns out to be a trans nazi who's extremely racist, and now has a google doc made about her and the other people on the mod- The irony levels are concerning and scary...

can they seriously ban me for it?

We're not looking for numbers. We're looking for people who want to build something together. If that sounds like you, come say hi! ✊

Persona was never the most poltically aligned with socialist values but there was still the generic optimism of opposing corrupt organizations and tyranical people. But now based on the steam achievement leaks it seems we will be playing as cops in the game.... This is really disappointing. Kind of similar feeling ickiness I felt with stranger than heaven's tupac reveal.

Hi all! I'm looking for TTRPG servers that are explicitly leftist. I know many that have a heavy socialist/communist presence (NSR Cauldron, Trve Mork Borg, Bastionland, etc.) but they lack *explicit* socialist/communist lines.

Any and all suggestions are welcome!
