Also sometimes how having a body feels like.

Most of the time, leg crams are intentional. Not really worried about the few that are unintentional as long as they go away on their own or can be walked out.

What if I'm already doing that?

You do hits for $20 and even autograph the victims?

Danmachi seemingly popularized the super-long titles and isn't an isekai.

Or it should be a whole sentence explaining the basic premise of the show.

Similarly during the energy crisis, there was suddenly a surge of interest in alternatives to fossils.

Sounds more like a way to make almost everyone annoyed. All the text would be more awkward for every player, so people who don't care about NB pronouns would justifiably be annoyed: it would actually be a case of identity politics making a product clearly worse (granted, it would be conservative identity politics that caused it), unlike all the times conservatives get mad because minorities exist in media sometimes. And NBs would know the dev put in more work to change all lines of text to remove all personal pronouns just to avoid adding another option for them. It would be a much more direct "fuck you" than doing nothing at all.

I wish English did not overuse pronouns (personal or otherwise) because of the ambiguity and misunderstandings caused by pronouns, but if its gonna change its going to have to start with people changing how they use the language, not some 8 year old game to try to shoehorn in.

Arguments made in bad faith (such as that made by Sawzall) deserve any ridicule. ¯\(ツ)

Depends how you read the "and", it is only a statement about those who are "trans AND nonbinary", not "trans OR nonbinary". Would be a weird choice of wording though. Not sure how many people would consider themselves in the group of non-binary and not trans, but certainly lots of agender people consider themselves not trans, but those same people I think typically don't consider themselves non-binary either and typically wouldn't care that much about pronouns to begin with. Also doubt there are many binary trans people who use pronouns that aren't the default for their binary gender (ie: women who use he/him or neopronouns. Maybe xenopronouns among furries? But like I feel like a lot of those people mostly do it as a criticism of the institution of gender and don't actually take them serious?).

Anyways, agreed they just seem to be trying to be over-the-top with the wording, but understandable that someone making a petition would feel pressured to write like that. Would be nice to see body-type and pronouns (in games that use them) be separate settings as default in all games. We've been able to name our rival "Dickface" since '96. Doesn't seem like much to ask for similar control of our own character's pronouns.

Jesus maybe? At church during the Christmas service. Accidentally dropped it. No clue how much it was worth, but I don't remember breaking particularly expensive things.
