Rimworld was originally coded so that all women were at least slightly bisexual, if not fully gay, while all men were either gay or straight. According to the creator - who vociferously defended this stance claiming it was based on "research" - bisexual men like me don't exist. That's honestly just the start of the rabbit hole. The game was hardcoded so that men always prefer younger partners and women always prefer older partners. Also women were eight times less likely to be willing to hit on someone. This is, to be clear, supposed to be a scifi game set in the future, but modelling sexual politics apparently taken from 1980's TV. There's an amazing breakdown of the whole thing here; https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rimworld-code-analysis You can find the creator of Rimworld in the comments defending all of his nonsense and making a total ass of himself in the process. Unfortunately the rest of the comments are a total shitshow. I'm told they eventually changed some of this stuff after enough backlash, years later, for whatever that's worth. Maybe the creator actually did some learning and growing, and if so, good for them.

It's not even a fucking rpg since *everything* is a diceroll. It's like pen and paper progress quest.

My issue isn't with the mechanics; yes, I'm sure that stuff can be modded. My issue is with the idea that I should give my money to someone who will actively defend the claim that I do not exist. Put it this way; if there were no non-white people in Rimworld, and the reason why was because the creator firmly believed that by the time humanity gets to space white people would have "won the race war and exterminated all the scum" would you still feel comfortable giving that person your money just because "I can mod that out"?

Is that the one where you roll for anal circumference?

How about some RIFTS?

Harping on rimworld, One of the most moddable games ever made, for the creator not understanding the depths of human sexuality is a little obtuse to say the least. There are a lot of things that people won't understand and there are so many mods to resolve this it seems silly to expect the creator to "get it". I've been around gay and trans people my entire life but I still don't think that I fully understand human sexuality or our cultural relationships with gender norms. Undoubtedly if I were to architect something like Rimworld I would get it wrong but I hope I would have the foresight to leave an amendment process so that it could be modded into fitting with people's understanding in the future.

Roll for the pen. Also roll for the paper.

Could you clarify your instructions? I'm smashing two small loafs of bread together but nothing's happening.

I was tragically born without any common fucking decency (or maybe this is from being an unsupervised child on the early internet) but I’ve also heard the game is just horribly bad and unfun from a game design perspective.

I absolutely love the world(books) from rights. The system itself is.... Painful. Though playing Palladium RPG did help me to understand how it was supposed to be functional, in some ways anyway.

I guess it could be sped up with a computer just generating the random character

At this point I feel the rpg culture should be firmly separated again from the mainstream only to have the mainstream stand between itself and this kind of awfulness.
