Extracted a paragraph from the “preview” by academic paywall:
INTRODUCTION EXCERPT ATTACHED. In 1865, the British rulers of north India resolved to bring about the gradual ‘extinction’ of transgender Hijras. This book, the first in-depth history of the Hijra community, illuminates the colonial and postcolonial governance of gender and sexuality and the production of colonial knowledge. From the 1850s, colonial officials and middle class Indians increasingly expressed moral outrage at Hijras’ feminine gender expression, sexuality, bodies and public performances. To the British, Hijras were an ungovernable population that posed a danger to colonial rule. In 1871, the colonial government passed a law that criminalised Hijras, with the explicit aim of causing Hijras’ ‘extermination’. But Hijras evaded police, kept on the move, broke the law and kept their cultural traditions alive. Based on extensive archival work in India and the UK, Jessica Hinchy argues that Hijras were criminalised not simply because of imported British norms, but due to a complex set of local factors, including elite Indian attitudes.

He’s a loser until he finds the hard drive and secures his descendants entry into the aristocracy.
Nvm, still a loser.
2·1 day agoThey also put little effort into this strategy (if this even was their strategy). Weeks until mods kit was released. No tutorials on how to make easy POIs so less technical creative people could start adding stories etc. Going for the attitude of “we barely thought about mod support for skyrim and it worked out”.
22·1 day agoSteam also never took it’s eye off the piracy ball. Offer up a service better than free piracy.
Just pulling from my memory:
- Family Share
- Easy controller support
- Game Casting
- Gameplay recording
- “Invisible Login” for social network
- Torrent from a local area network friend who has the game on their computer
- (list goes on)
10·2 days agoI’m not holding breath. Outer Worlds could have had good mod support too but the company never got around to it.
The fumbled big time with support for mods. You’d have a hard time making enough content for just the main game, no way you’d have the resources for more content in the multiple universes.
There should have been a mod framework from the beginning, and a developer tutorial for how to add mods into the multiple universes and Bethesda guidelines on how to make your mod match the Unity system. So characters and faces can change every Unity at a minimum.
And settler system was also a failure. Can’t have a living outpost if people can’t just show up Fallout 4 style.
They really should have just built their own Netflix but profits get split amongst the copyright holders. Every single one of their analysts was warning them what would have happened if they couldn’t solve this real world game theory problem.
I think being a non-judgemental friend / safe person is probably the best you can do. Somebody he knows won’t judge him for something he can’t control.
Standard atheism rules though. Don’t let him reveal his queerness to his family until it’s at a dinner he paid for, and he’s living in a house he pays for.
Sovereign wealth fund hasn’t been properly setup yet.
