    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 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.

      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”

        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.

          Thats oddly satisfying to watch. Best of luck!

          There are dozens of us weirdos out their with questionable taste.
