A few years back famed sci-fi author Kim Stanley Robinson (of Mars Trilogy fame) wrote a space book where the takeaway was basically about how interstellar colonization is hard and sucks, and that maybe we should appreciate living on our precious planet Earth.

And a certain section of sci-fi nerds got so mad.

Think about that a lot with stuff like this. Kill the space nerd in your head folks.

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.

assuming I'm correctly remembering what paddock they're in, idk about 40-50 metres.

Don't Argentina's claims basically come from it being part of the same Spanish colony? Cause idk that doesn't sound very de-colonialist to me.

but like, on serious note, this is probably just China doing the whole 'East Turkestan is a real country' shit but in reverse.
