Theres a ton of inspiring game devs (and actual game devs) on this site and this is a message for them
Please include wheelchairs in customization. Include player characters who are in wheelchairs. I'm begging you.
There are less than a handful of playable characters in wheelchairs I can think of (and most of them are ableist haha funny characters like the guy from happy wheels)
I promise you, any extra work that needs to be done to make them playable IS worth it. I don't give a fuck if its not realistic. Most people can't fling fireballs in real life either.
Like I've seen prosthetics, I've seen glasses, when I've brought up wheelchairs to devs they say the best they can do is braces and maybe crutches or a cane. Maybe a hearing aid.
I've SEEN the amazing stuff that can be made, and I'm tired of devs whining that it's too hard. It's too late to add something that complex. Well maybe you should've thought about wheelchairs in the early stages instead of adding representation as an afterthought.
The only time we are thought of is when its a horror game or for a fucking joke.

High-echelon Mawkin suit modules can be pretty wild, and the Energy conversion module in Raven Beak's suit is no exception.
When exposed to an active current or energy field, the module accounts for the level of charged particles in the local atmosphere and converts the detected matter to power. Most substantial forms of power and radiation are compatible with its function, and it's calibrated to work more efficiently when exposed to substantially powerful forms of plasmic matter.
The conversion module is similar to (but should not be confused with) the thermal charge module, which charges the power suit in extreme heat. That technology is also implemented in the protective exosuits found in Cataris' lava zone. The Mawkin use thermal energy to power a number of their facilities: that they'd implement it in their more mobile works is only natural.
Back to the subject at hand, the conversion module's practicality is twofold: to keep Raven Beak's suit sufficiently charged and to maintain his vigor in battle. His particular biometric modifications are such that his suit, combined with his level of physical fitness, can theoretically keep him fighting without fear of exhaustion in perpetuity.
Raven Beak's juiced up version of lightning armor is the inverse of this module: it absorbs charged particles for the purpose of coalescing into a projected wave. The use of lightning armor in this manner negates the function of the conversion module for restorative purposes. Additionally, lightning armor works best against oncoming projectiles, while the reactive conversion module is at its peak when the suit is exposed to ambient radiation or concentrated, consistent flows of power.
Suffice to say, Raven Beak is probably the only person who could stick a fork in an electrical socket and have it do the exact opposite of killing him.

tcm fandom sucks so fucking bad its either people dick riding gun so hard they can't see straight or ppl using mods that make characters literal blow up dolls. and im sorry but if u think the cosmetics we r getting are suitable youre fucking blind. $5 for an objectively shittier version of something thats ALREADY a recolor is insulting!!! we don't need what the modding community is shoving down our throats but we need quality control.. o_o i cannot fathom the shit we're getting in the content pass if this is what they're pumping out rn

I just think that the event currency thing is only a band-aid solution for a much wider problem and will be completely useless after 2 years because TGC refuses to lower prices of older event cosmetics tbh.

Side note I find it really funny when I sometimes see posts of people discovering the Johnny mirror glitch and going "Oh wow I've played the game so much and I've never seen this before!" because I kid you not there was a point in time where I'd want to use the mirror to change up Riley's looks and there was a 50% chance I would proc the mirror glitch without wanting to

There really is a kind of kinsmanship between redheads by default though tbh and obviously it varies from person to person but for me I always notice almost immediately whenever there's another redhead around when I'm in public and I love talking to them. Especially if it's just basic positivity and love about the redhead condition lol. We gingers really do need to stick together and be there for each other! All the little unique things that come with being a redhead can often only be fully understood, sympathized with, and given good guidance by other redheads.
