It’s a setup for them saying you may identify as Trans, then switching it up by explaining some news for you, as in something said in the news, aka a storm coming

Oh well. I thought there was a joke about being trans in Florida.

In the years since this joke first floated out into the tubes of the internet, Florida has gotten specifically worse for trans people, to the point that your thought would be quite plausible.

Either option is a good reason to leave that state.

It’s just a regular anti-joke

I think it’s a big meme in the transgender community that if you are assigned male at birth and choose to be a female in videogames etc. it means you may be trans

Instead of “you may be trans”, they hit you with a pretty scary weather forecast thank god I don’t live there

Idk I’m not trans and maybe looking too far into the setup but I feel like equating playing girls in video games with being a closet trans is really reductive to what it actually means to be trans

I often choose female characters in games because I like variety and male characters are super common. I always make them non-white if given an option, too, although non-human is best of all!

I always do non-human if the option is given too. Its just more fun to be a lizard person or an alien, if not, I go for “eh, that looks enough like me”

I always choose female characters in games with a third person camera. If I’m gonna be staring at them the whole time I play they better be nice on the eyes!

I’ve heard that reason a lot, but I’m usually too busy kicking ass to pay attention to hers. And I prefer outfits that look intimidating rather than skimpy.

Yup. I don’t understand how some people are looking at a characters ass more than what else is on the screen and I’m a horny pansexual.

Dark Souls 2 had a lot of cool things that didn’t get enough credit.

I loved dark souls 2. It has a lot of really neat things. Just a couple of questionable design paradigms keep it from being a top tier FS game, but the worst of the best is still pretty fuckin good.

If they would have called it something else people would like it more. If they called bloodborne or sekiro dark souls and shoehorned in some lore, people would hate those games.

A close friend of mine is making a playable-spider-girl-based game.

I’m in the process of programming a procedural spider walk for it: https://youtu.be/oeBFCxbtwXM

The spider body is placeholder, it will become a drider. The plan is to make the legs able to seek and grip on arbitrary 3d geometry, including flailing when no good purchase is available, and allow the spider to traverse on any surface.

Edit: I am also chronically ill but slowly finding stability, don’t hold your breath for this to come out.

I like how this meme is crafted to be life-ruiningly specific for maybe 2 people in the whole world, but we all get to blithely enjoy the anti-humour
