Ahh, the four genders

(taken from the source code for JAGGED ALLIANCE 2 (1999) -- I wrote about this in my book bossfightbooks.com/products/ja)

@darius Is this upstream of some dialogue choices? Like, {"Pardon me", "Hey girl", "OK, Bitch", "MILADY" }

@mhoye as far as i can tell it affects:

- how sad you get when someone on your team of a different gender dies
- your ability to shoot people of a different gender (mayyybe, it seems like there are enums defined for this but not used anywhere I can find in the code)

@darius heh, awesome. This was one of my biggest time sinks ever :D I replayed this again and again and never purged it from my disk after the last play through (from my cold dead hands 😜 )

Just remembering the character creation questionnaire makes me laugh again. What a gaming gem :D

Added to my wishlist :D

@bekopharm I think you will greatly enjoy the interviews :)

I had some great conversations with the devs about how the game was so incredibly popular in Germany, although I'm not sure how much of that it made it into the book...

@darius no idea. I probably played it on English - got usually no localised version for Linux, no? 🤔

@darius oh. Even DRM free. I may be aroused. Saves me the trouble of scraping it off a Kindle purchase. Nudged to the top of the pile 🤓
