  • Yeah most people are not here to discuss and are toxic, that’s why I don’t answer to most.

    I am not saying the sexual orientation or gender is forced on my, but rather for games where it does not matter should not be a factor of deciding how the game is made. What I mean is in example Marvel Rivals, people want trans characters added to it. And that has implications for gameplay and such. In example there are very popular characters from Marvel universe that could be added and needed too, in specific gameplay features. But if the gender is a deciding factor, then it affects gameplay decisions of developers.

    Or in games like Zelda, people want a character where you can set the gender. But this has huge implications for the story and also requires lot of work for no real benefit, other than your gender being different. Nobody should care in games about your personal gender, its not about you.

    And on a personal experience in the forums, what’s really bad is, if developers don’t do it, then those people get toxic and attack everyone in the communities for not doing it. Also spamming at every post about this, even if its offtopic.

    However I can understand asking for this in games where you roleplay you as a character, or even if there is a character creator. Especially in games like Cyberpunk it makes 100% sense to include these as options. So I am not talking about those kind of games.





  • M-Disc format is probably the best form of archiving data long term. But the discs are not cheap and you need a “burner” for it too (and a reader everywhere you want to read it) Edit: Correction, these discs should be readable by normal DVD and BlueRay players, but not all. There are DVDs and BlueRay discs with this format. If price is not the biggest issue and if you don’t want to archive often terabytes of data, this could be a solution to long term archival of important data.

    A quick look in Amazon (Germany) the cheapest option has a 6 x BlueRay spindle with each 100gb for about 54 Euros (at a discount). Just to give an idea; usually this stuff is more expensive.
