To be honest i've only watched one trailer and judged the game by the screenshots otherwise. It has a really nice aesthetic though but imho it seems like yet another narrative driven game. Don't get me wrong i don't mind playing them but sometimes they feel a bit lacking gameplay wise.

We used to use Miss and Mrs, now Ms is considered 'politically correct' for both. Just like Mr always has been for married/unmarried.
So hey babe, it's what you get. :-)

*big thank you hug nonetheless* :D
But there are still people here who are working much harder :)

"Never work hard, work smart!"
Never did figure out what the hell that means. :-)

Luckily I am not a big fan of the over politically correct society we live in. Basic manners and respect is one thing, but these days things just get silly. I was never really keen on Ms. I don't really mind people using it, but for some reason I never really liked it. I know before it was often used for a divorced woman, but these days things are just silly. I kind of hate how people blow things out of proportion and are making words off limits due to people being scared to use them in case someone get offended at things they should not. I never really get it either, surly you need intent for a word to be offensive? So can someone really be offensive if they did not mean to be? Insensitive perhaps, but not really offensive. But what would I know, I am rambling so please just ignore me. :-)

I was going to end with the male version of babe, but I am not sure what that is.

Want them taken out? :-)

*grabs Fred sniper rifle*

I think maybe I'd go with "hunk" ?

Though the more I look at that / say it "in my mind" the more silly it sounds.

Don't climb the mountain, take the ski lift.

Well that's an interesting attitude - but i'm not sure about it either :)

O.O
No need for that. :)

But "babe" can be both derogatory and affectionate. Can "hunk" be used in the same way?

Hmm interesting - I'll go into total vacillation mode and say... maybe. I suppose it *could* have a negative connotation (sort of a "meat head" or vapid male?) but I'm not positive.

"honey" or "sweetie" is pretty universal and unisex. I've heard it at enough diners where that's every customer's name.

Better play it safe and use 'stud'. :-)

It could, but I don't seem to see it used that way very often, hardly ever in fact. I wonder if there is a male version that matches, it is possible there is not.

I guess "honey" could fit as a word that can be used as a compliment and in a derogatory manner. But still not one that is really male focused.

As in "put him out to stud"? Not a very safe expression. :-)

Oh I like this one! Plus it sounds a lot better than "hunk."

Also, clearly showing the influence of Stardew if the term "stud" is right there at the ready for you LOL. May your prize mare bare many young now that you've paid the proper fees.

I've never heard "honey" used derogatory, unless you mean in the Southern "Well, bless your soul, darlin'" kind of way. As far as male-focused words go, I don't think there ARE any besides "bro" or something. You don't really get many males referring to each other very affectionately.
