*This isn't a criticism of the game*

To clarify what I mean by the title: in my personal online experience, I often see people talking about Deltarune as an inclusive game (which is true) where queerness is central to the plot and themes...

I don't agree with that.

It's true that Toby Fox is very open and fills the cast with various spectrums of the LGBTQ+ community, but these characters never discuss their sexuality or gender identity. There are no conversations about the difficulties, or lack thereof, of being Queer.

It seems to me that Deltarune's main themes, perceived identity, free will, and a dash of postmodern meta-narrative, are framed in a way that could resonate with anyone, even my 99-year-old grandfather who fought in World War II. And don't get me wrong: obviously, the themes of Deltarune can be deeply felt by the Queer community, but I don't feel like they are the primary target audience.

The game definitely targets the Queer community in terms of its demographic/fanbase, but I don't think its philosophy and narrative are specifically "queer" in nature.

Perhaps it's because I'm used to Queer literature being a body of work that actually problematizes the issue, rather than just including 10 LGBTQ+ characters and then speaking broadly about general philosophical themes (which, to be fair, are quite interesting in their own right).

I always felt like I'm the only one who addresses heavy critique to Deltarune, even If I appreciate it.

Thanks for showing me that someone who thinks is out there.

Sto cercando una macchina usata (modello) su di un budget di 8000 euro circa, anche di meno possibilmente. Per la mia posizione mi serve una macchina che può trovare parcheggio anche in città grandi, motivo per cui deve essere qualcosa di maneggevole e facile da parcheggiare, però essendo la mia prima macchina, escludendo quella di mia madre che ho guidato per anni (una panda), vorrei qualcosa di leggermente sfizioso anche esteticamente e che non faccia per forza 0-100 in 10 minuti.

Benzina, Diesel, GPL non credo faccia differenza, anche perché non macinerò tutti questi Km all'anno, almeno per ora.

Visto che sono entrato nel mondo delle auto davvero solo adesso (sono cresciuto con i GT, quindi per me la macchina come interesse teorico era solo di lusso), volevo chiedervi qualche compromesso o qualche modello o marca che consigliate.

Grazie in anticipo.

Ammo Case I/ Vanguard 3/ Combined Arms 2 for CQB fighting. Skirmisher for movement.

The idea is a standard Manticore that doubles down on its strengths. More Hacking thanks to the Goblin; Balor Swarm (along with CA2/Combat Accountant 2 or Combined Arms 2) allows for fighting while engaged without fearing melee. More CQB with Vanguard; Tortuga and Genghis to get some juicy CQB weapons. The T3 Protocol shield will allow the Core passive to be activated whenever needed.

Let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas for improvement.
