    At this point, I blame the devs. This has been a known quantity for years. Does it move? A player wants to fuck it. Does it not move? Gettin’ fucked by it. Does it not exist? They’ll find a way to dick it or get dicked by it.

    This is how things work.

      I think Larian’s response is them leaning into joke — by replying at all, they’re boosting the original query, but they’re also drawing a line on how far they’re willing to indulge that side of things (officially). I refuse to believe that Larian are actually shocked or perturbed by this question, as their reply suggests, because bear sex is within the game itself, so they’ve definitely fed the fire. Pretending to be confused is part of the joke, I reckon

    Fun fact, there’s an industry term called TTP: Time To Penis. It’s the estimated amount of time before a player draws a dick in your game, whether through bullet holes in a wall or something else. It’s often measured in seconds.

    This is why video games can’t fully replace a human GM’d ttrpg.
    “Sure, you can try to seduce the water elemental. Do you speak Aquan/Primordial?”

    I sometimes wonder what it must be like to run the Sonic The Hedgehog social media accounts. It’s cool and all, but I bet that person has seen some things that’ll haunt them for the rest of their days.

      Probably about as bad as Tony the Tiger.

      Actually, Tony’s online appearances are rarer, by now the poor Sonic interns are probably chowing down on chili dogs while Sonic makes a fresh one across Robotnik.

    Hm, water elementals do offer a lot of … possibilities. Lubrication might be a problem though because of all the water
