You can be serious and casual at the same time. Just because you do more serious stuff doesn't mean you have to stop doing the sex parties and just having fun, it doesn't even necessarily mean you have to stop sleeping with others.

Try and let the things you want to change change, and let the things you don't want to change stay the same. It sounds too good to be true, but in my experience you have to try for it if you want things to last.

    We all know that misinformation and propaganda are flooding the media, and some might even say that everything is propaganda. But most of us trust some sources more than others.

    This community is especially concerned with countering propaganda, so I'm curious to hear how you personally decide whether something is propaganda or not.

    Huh, didn't realise. It's for sure not catholic, but thought it was something in between.

    Edit: Right, you did say technically. According to Wikipedia,

    The degree of distinction between Protestant and Catholic tendencies within Anglicanism is routinely a matter of debate both within specific Anglican churches and the Anglican Communion.

    That sounds fucking awful. But you need to know thay your tribe is out there somewhere. There are people who will understand you and appreciate you, welcome you into a community, help you change your life. I can't tell you how to find them, but you need to believe that they're out there, and keep trying.

    I know it sucks to roll the dice and keep getting shit, but you can only roll that six if you keep rolling.

    In the first game everyone is assumed to be straight, and your character receives a stat boost from having sex, which sometimes happens in the story, but mostly will happen at "bathhouses", i.e. with prostitutes.

    The exclusively female bathhouses, and the stat boost, persist in the second game, but there is an option relatively early in the game for your (male) character to start a gay romance with an important, recurring character.

    I didn't follow through with that, but I was very pleasantly surprised to see it - both characters are sort of supposed to be womanizers, but it makes sense in the context of the story that they could discover feelings for eachother. It's up to you whether your character has a childhood sweetheart feminine love interest at home or not (from the previous game), but other than this relatively unimportant detail (beyond the roleplaying of it), the gay romance appears to be arguably the most significant romance in the game.

    All that said, the game director who speaks is an asshole. Given that, I was pleasantly surprised at how "woke" KCD2 actually is. Guess he might has a different idea of "woke" than the rest of us, e.g. more "female ghost busters movie", less "gay representation".
