Why must all good gear be girly..

    Because the devs feel a need to make the game as ridiculous as possible sometimes...

    Some more realistic sci-fi gear would be appreciated, like hover jets or something.
    How are butterflies tech?

    It was supposed to be heavy breathing/objectification.

    Since when were sports cars girly?
    Since when was mlp manly?
    Since when was wearing pink actually accepted as manly, and not just a joke on shirts?

    Go ahead. Tell him that his shirt makes him look gay.

    He does look a tad flamboyant.

    The argument is "Is the color pink considered manly".
    I wouldn't say it's manly, I wouldn't say it's feminine either. It's just a neutral color.

    As for "gay", not all homosexuals are feminine, not all heterosexuals are masculine.
    Unless "gay" means "flamboyant", I don't know, I don't keep up with popular lingo.

    I never said that wearing pink was gay. I just said "since when was it manly".
    I don't view it as manly, it's just wearing a shirt.
    Who the fuck cares?
    However, in real life, you can choose the color of your shirt.
    In this game, you can't change butterflies into thrusters.
    And don't just say "oh mod it in".

    Wouldn't thrusters be more efficient?
    The tech leaves a trail of butterflies. This means they aren't flying you by your feet, you're just hovering and pooping out butterflies.

    Can we combine the two and shoot out rainbow-flamed skeleton butterlies while harps play powerchords in the background?

    Maybe it is a biothruster inserted into your anus that produces butterflies for propulsion.

    Gay people are stereotypically flamboyant.

    The joke is, the person in the pictures is a serial killer.
    Well, playing the PART of one.

    Again, stereotypically, gay people are not very manly.


    As for your butterfly issue, vanity tech, I suppose.

    I'd only accept this, if you posed as if you were sitting in a chair with handle bars infront of you.

    Alright, think of it like this.

    "Gentlemen, I present to you the X-R2 Portable Electro-Propulsion Device. Dubbed 'Gravity Bubble' by many, this device uses precisely calibrated, complex fields of electrical currents to propel the user through the air via charged ions. This is evidenced by the arcing around the user when in use."

    That is a Sci-Fi tech device.

    A propulsion system that uses butterflies, on the other hand, sounds like a spell possessed by a forest guardian.

    "This ancient rite calls forth the denizens of the forest to lift you upwards".

    The butterflies are the emissions.
    Instead of smoke, or fire, it emits butterflies, whilst propelling you forwards.


    ... Dammit, now I want a car that functions that way.

    Still trying to understand why one shade of grey reminds you humans of females and another makes you think of males. Perhaps they smell different? This all seems so stupid and arbitrary. Now Squirrels. That's something that warrants attention.

    Nah man, it's fine because butterflies are bugs, and girls hate bugs. Ever seen one's face close up? Not so cute.

    “The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.”

    Apparently 1918.

    Seriously, get over yourself. My favorite color is purple, and I'm a cisgender heterosexual man who listens to death metal. Color only matters insofar as whether they mesh well together.

    Also, there's these guys:

    Don't screw with them, because they will screw you much harder, louder, and with more drugs.
