    I just played through the first God of War again this week. Some of the platforming at the end and final boss fight aside I think it holds up pretty great.

    fun pax facts

    the cards against humanity booth has a sign on it stating it's a trans safe place

    specifically using the triangle logo to do so
    That is really surprising considering some of the cards in there

    I've never heard of this logo

    What's the difference between a trans safe place and...everywhere else?

    yeah

    "passable transvestites" made me wince hard

    the sign raised them up in my estimations, and shocked me

    well putting a sign up is easy

    I wouldn't start beatifying anyone until the actual you know product they're selling isn't offensive

    the fact that they knew what logo to use is what made me feel better

    it's a bit obscure

    Well I mean clearly they do not think you should jack off into a pool of children's tears either

    I think it means that you can't assume the things printed on the cards are their beliefs or values

    I'm going to throw $60 at it. Which in a weird round-about way will make it the most expensive steam game I have ever bought.

    Good news is that it has already blown past the $900k goal by $200k and there is 29 days left to go.

    I'm glad there's a late backer option for that game so I can throw in when I get a steady income.
