talking points like, “why don’t women look feminine aymore,” “why are characters designed for diversity/inclusion first before story,” “Concord sucks lol.”

Ubi is the sort of mob that could put out a title set in Georgian England and offer a cast that includes among others a queer green-haired ship’s captain, a Chinese bailiff and a Rastafarian archbishop. There’s a place for getting whimsical with character creation, but done often enough (and across so many genres), it becomes self-satirizing.
My fledgling settlement of Highjade in the steamy tropics got hit by transport pod raiders. Four of them barged into my fab lab and killed my main crafter, then trashed the equipment. A few days prior my only drug maker was kidnapped, so I’ve run out of penicillin too. On the bright side I still have a masterwork sniper rifle and I thanks to all the flagstones I’ve laid, no infestations in a long while.
