Hell yeah although you might want to construct an identifier from like, name and surname and datetime of birth?

You’re 100% right that is the most logical extension from the basis of 1 bit m-f - I completely overlooked that!

I’m glad to stumble upon someone on the internet who has the same crossover of programming, math, and gender (so unlikely! I know!) as well as silly humour in this regard :D

I was more approaching it from a programming perspective than a mathematical one - we could theoretically “label” all the gender experiences (perhaps just with the name of the individual that experiences it)

Of course this would be like labeling different variations of the sine function, and other functions, to use the analogy you made

The thing thats represented by the label may be discrete or continuous or anything

To be clear, I’m not attempting to represent gender as a continuous spectrum between Man and Woman - I’m throwing the gender binary out entirely and imagining each gender as some arbitrarily defined thing, ie for some people its a sine function (again to use your analogy) with different coefficients

If one wanted to represent the “gender space” as some 1d number line or 2d space with cartesian axes, then absolutely you’d need to fulfil the infinite and continuous criteria and I agree with you.

Though, to ramble a bit, I don’t know what you’d use to label the axis/axes because we sure as hell can’t use Man to Woman when agender folk exist, and we can’t even use Man to Woman and Agender to Allogender because some folk would fall outside of those axes still.

Sure but thats their experience of gender right? Their experience of gender will never be “not their experience of gender” even if it changes from instant to instant

I guess in theory as there will only ever be a finite number of individuals, there will also necessarily only ever be a finite number of different gender expressions, so finite discrete probably works. (Not to say that peoples experiences of gender are fixed and equidistant, but more so that you could have a “gender enum” with an entry for each individual)

Of course, trying to say how many bits this would require is almost impossible because theres always going to be more people and more genders, but it is technically finite.

In any case, bagsies on (leading zeros)100101001

I hear someone made the list and checked it twice.

It really did so much right. Strong recommend for Becky Chambers’ Wayfarer books if you enjoyed the writing in sleeper.

Hope you enjoy! Feel free to poke me to talk about any of them if you so desire :)

Outer Wilds is an absolute banger, I don’t know how I forgot to mention it.

BTW if you enjoyed OW, play Tunic!

I have a lot of games which were enjoyable 100% of the time, but none which I played for over 100 hours. I’d be absolutely exhausted if I was in “oh neat haha wow!” mode for that long, personally, my dopamine receptors would be fucking fried.

Good luck with your search, and below I have some which fit your criteria outside of the 100 hour requirement.

I am not certain if the android version has controller support but I do know that they ported it to consoles and PC and those versions indeed do have controller support

Sky: Children of Light is a delightful game from the creators of Journey, and plays sort of like a Journey MMO

It has a splendid soundtrack featuring vocals from the ever talented AURORA, and beautiful visuals. It is also a great social experience, putting a focus on fostering connections and community. It gets regular content updates and its just super cozy!

I think thats the point

AFAIK if you’re not logged in to shitter it doesn’t give you any sort of chronological post ordering

I think its likely that goty will go to Helldivers 2 or Black Myth: Wukong, both of which I think are aggressively “OK”. Goty awards are largely a popularity contest, after all.

pat pat pat happy girl!

Foxgirls are absolutely valid sorry for this erasure

Catgirls are cute and I will pet any who will allow

Missing a fursuit or cat ears and a tail plug

Not specifically related to the post, but I’m curious how you post so much but don’t reply to the comments on your own posts.
