Making a new character without choosing gender....
ERROR: No sex entered.

I mean really ....No need for the Game to Remind me of Life again :P :twisted:

It used to be possible to tamper the information so that your sex is "3". It showed up as female so it's not really possible to play an agender.

Yes but even if you're agender, you probably still have the anatomy of one of the sexes (barring surgery which we don't mechanistically have in Cantr).

But there are people with abnormal genitalia and might have other features that are a mix of male and female. There are women who have facial hair and men who have boobs.

Pfff...
I mistook my last newspawn and I create it with the "wrong" gender.
Now I have to leave with it...

You could play them as transgender. I think Cantr is more accepting of that nowadays than when I did it back in 2009.

I'm not so sure if I could. I'm not really sure if I'd be able to get in its mind. Or how to RP it...
It's not so bad, anyway, it's kinda working.
In some way, I think it's better like this. The skills weren't what I had in mind, either. And in any case, I don't think the char I had in mind whould had live long where it spawned xD

Finally got around to some much needed ink therapy today after work. Wasn't even planning on it, just sort of happened. Had lunch with dad and he wanted to go get his next one so I thought I'd price mine. Guy gave us a good deal since we got them done at the same time. Swear we're weird by bonding over getting tattoos. Lol

On the other bright side we found a new artist that's affordable and really good at his job.
Oh look, another glorious morning… makes me SICK!

Sounds like a good way of bonding, really :D

Plus, tattoos are cool :) I don't see anything weird about any of the things you just said. (besides maybe the words "Ink therapy" which I didn't understand until after half of your post :P )

I can't imagine how many more special snowflake characters we'd have if that were built into the game mechanics. :shock:

Lol sorry about that Bmont. It had been a long day of no sleep. I wasn't really making a whole lot of sense by that point. Though for us (my dad and I) we start getting antsy if we go too long without a new tattoo. I went 7 years between my last and this new one. Really not going to wait that long until I get the next. :D

Agreed... No more checking the last tick before going to sleep...

Well, at least now there is daylight later!
