Read further, while the author didn’t realize what she was doing it is a trans narrative through and through, and the free dlc ending did contain the flag because by then she did know.

When Madeline looks in the mirror and sees her other self; when she attempts to abandon her reflection, who then drags her down the mountain; when the two reconcile and merge to become stronger and more complete… that was all unknowingly written from a trans perspective.

I don’t think this is anything like undertale, and I didn’t like it either. It doesn’t make fun of you for reloading iirc

Is Madeline Canonically Trans?

Well, yeah, of course she is.

This feels painfully obvious to a lot of (mostly trans) people, and likewise it feels painfully obvious to me too, in retrospect. It has also become painfully obvious to me that I, myself, am trans. But these are things that I was not aware of during the development of Celeste, where I was writing Madeline and speaking from her perspective. Creating Celeste with my friends helped me reach the point where I could realize this truth about myself. During Celeste’s development, I did not know that Madeline or myself were trans. During the Farewell DLC’s development, I began to form a hunch. Post-development, I now know that we both are.

Indeed, if you like creepy games and card games just buy it without looking closer - it is an incredible experience that shouldn’t be spoiled.

Hmm, that’s a good point, I was just clarifying what Dark Arc said as far as I can tell. You’re right neither should be sexualized, but in the world we live in neither should be shared IMO.

Dark Arc is saying that it is generally considered a bad thing, contrary to the comic which is implying that it is generally considered good or neutral when it should be considered bad.

It does say they “have” shells in the comic, which is as accurate as saying they have limbs or a head.

Take an empty list and add an object to it. Get a list with an object in it.

Take an object and add an empty list to it, that doesn’t do anything, get a zero for false?

Can we not inject ads as gifs even when they are kinda relevant?

Being a non-profit is only “unprofitable” in so much as it won’t enrich anyone. But they do usually operate in the black. The original owner(s) just aren’t interested in selling out/cashing in, so they have reworked the company so that all profits are reinvested into the mission.

Or duck 🦆 but yes. Damn near broke up with an ex of mine when she asked me if I would be bothered by her ordering foie gras, and then explained what it is.

I mean Foie Gras is literally fatty liver disease so, yes

Ironically, that is actually the decline:

Factoring in the fact that the civil rights act was passed in 1964, there was a decade (of extreme racism and misogyny) where things looked “up” to certain privileged people. But not by the 80s or 90s

They kept them all side by side like that, all landscape?

Broadcast degrade, which wouldn’t mean much for already existing conqueror civilizations looking for anyone to invade, but does mean the signal isn’t entirely endless and we don’t broadcast with the strength to reach very far (what with our only needing to send them around our planet). Our historic signals may very well never make it to civilizations advanced enough to hear them just due to distance and the fact that space isn’t a perfect vacuum; signals degrade linearly as they are overwhelmed by the comparatively much more powerful background radiation. Digitally encoded signals like the ones we send now would be even harder to detect as the information would seem random.

Additionally, if we were to stop broadcasting then our broadcast would be effectively an expanding bubble with a ~130 light-year thick surface, so while it may reach a civilization and continue to reach them for 130 years, there is a chance it would reach them prior to technological advancement and it would pass by without detection. Of course in this case we assume that a new civilization would be hostile.

The party example doesn’t really work here because there is no start time to be on time or fashionably late/early to.

Fun conversation, this is the stuff I used to love reddit for 😊
