apparently the soloists that they got to play also did music for guilty gear

past lark
#

its one of the less known fighting games

#

its the titanfall of fighting games

lucid pulsar
#

i haven't played titanfall but i get what you're saying

forest basalt
#

all fighting games are unknown

lucid pulsar
#

the fact that i haven't played it kinda proves the point actually

tranquil bay
lucid pulsar
#

oh would you look at that

tranquil bay
#

also I'm asking you guys to cut down on your use of reaction gifs please, it's getting spammy

past lark
#

i like this video

we get it you don't like anything thta's popular

proud flicker
#

Is that curse words I hear in that clip?

limber walrus
#

yeah, it is. If a video includes words the bot would block, the video isn't appropriate for here either please

forest basalt
#

and if i recall correctly the bot blocks the f-word.

#

we shun fancy things like words that can be considered offensive

idk why i assumed Swan has mod powers, but why doesn't he?

He is an authority figure of sgg.

limber walrus

What's so special about Amoongus? It's an OK Pokemon but I don't get the hype tbh

forest basalt
#

yeah me too

#

the pokeball design is tacky

#

also gamefreak never explained why it has pokeballs on it. was the pokeball designed after it.

too many questions

Watch out for scammers, guys. I reckon this guy came from here because it's the only big gaming server I'm present in

forest basalt

hey, my dad also works at steam

do you think they know eachother

limber walrus
forest basalt
#

the scammer in question isn't in the server

nor ever has

#

OR

slim bobcat

yeah, just did a search for them and they aren't in the server

forest basalt

they've already been banned

I want to an arabic localization for hades

Ok

in my friends' discord there's like two people who liked my pfp and my name

The tldr of the post is, they'll consider adding further translations to hades but don't get your hopes up @faint panther

on the topic of intel, stock should be good for 11th gen partially due to intell still being on the 14nm process for their desktop cpu's (though the global silicon shortage might have something to say about that)
AMD atm have gpu's, mobile and desktop cpu's as (both zen 2 and zen 3) well as console chips all on the 7nm process so it's kinda understandable especially with the aforementioned silicon shortage they'd be having a hard time keeping supply on shelves

simple owl
#

being real a bit here, when will intel at least jump the 10nm ship?

hexed hollow
#

12th gen desktop

#

they're already on the 10nm process for mobile cpu's

simple owl
#

the TDP is increasing every gen

#

thats the reason Apple's intel macbooks throttles once they reach their turbo boost frequency

hexed hollow
#

there's only so much you can do on the same process and intel are sure going to the bleeding edge of what's possible on 14nm

simple owl
#

literally at the end of the cliff for 14nm

hexed hollow
#

it will be interesting to see what the thermals are like for 11th gen desktop

simple owl
#

they're talking big upgrades and stuff, we just have to wait and see

hexed hollow
#

I'm half expecting an inferno like 9th (9900k) gen

#

but 10th gen was a surprise in terms on thermals

simple owl
#

was 10th gen meh with the performance upgrade?

hexed hollow
#

it brought things back to the then status quo of intel best for gaming, and AMD best for productivity

simple owl
#

I hate to say this, but I think intel's better for stability and purely gaming and single tasks

#

amd's stuff is wonky ngl (+ that recent usb failings with x570)

hexed hollow
#

you're definitely not wrong there, there's some wacky things going on with some b550 and x570 mobo's and zen 3 causing usb 2 ports to stop working

simple owl
#

my next pc build will be an intel one

hexed hollow
#

that's fair, I went ryzen for my latest build and the cpu and/or mobo where DOA, so in the process of getting them both RMA'd

#

got the cpu back already in a brand new box so I assume that the cpu was DoA

#

now just waiting for the mobo

simple owl
#

was it a Zen 3 chip?

hexed hollow
#

nah zen 2, there's almost no zen 3 stock here in Aus and it would have been April at the earliest before I got one

simple owl
#

oof, the shortage is global huh

hexed hollow
#

yeah, absolutely global

#

Australia has some rtx3000 stock but it's at super inflated prices

simple owl
#

ouch

hexed hollow
#

msrp is 810 AUD for a reference point

hexed hollow
#

our own retailers be scalping before the scalpers scalp 😂

simple owl
#

we're going back to 2017 lads

hexed hollow
#

we're already there, it gonna get worse klinkSmile

simple owl
#

mid2017-mid 2018 was so bad
I could build a pc for like 3/4 of my imac's price (which had 7500, 8gb, 1tb + a stupid 40gb ssd cuz bsapple, and Rx560)

#

oh and a nice and cool 4k screen

#

that was 1.1k usd or something, yesterday was the anniversary of my imac zaglol

hexed hollow
#

the one line of products to barely get touched by stock shortages has been monitors of all things

sudden torrent
#

I am thankful I am so slow on upgrading stuff

simple owl
hexed hollow
#

yeah 1440p is becoming the standard which is a good move :3

simple owl
#

cuz I also won't have much trouble when I go to 2k down from 4k
how do you guys use your 1080p screens? it feels so small

hexed hollow
#

we don't really have enough performance to make 4k really worth, for productivity applications it makes sense just not for gaming

simple owl
#

We're getting there, the latest gen gpus can do 4k in almost all AAA titles

#

(except for cyblooper77 zaglol )

hexed hollow
#

yeah we're getting there

simple owl
#

oooh boy

#

time for me to not have any new pc for 3 years

#

guess I'll install some SSDs and eGPU my mac

hexed hollow
#

You might be lucky on the 2nd hand market if the crypto bubble pops before then

simple owl
#

maybe RTX 3060s cuz of the hash preventing or whatever

hexed hollow
#

Maybe, I doubt the supply will be sufficient to meet the unprecedented demand for tech that occured over 2020 and into this year

#

But we'll see very soon

mild pelican
#

and the guy we with my friend know, told me

#

buy 20xx

#

what are you waiting for, Volus

#

and here am i with 1050 bought around 2017

simple owl
#

"trust me düd, it's good"

#

at least you don't have a 1650 and a 9400f cuz of prebuilts

#

that wasn't for me, it was for my brother

mild pelican
#

jyj

#

well, on the other hand, what would be that used for

#

that same guy is into star citizen very much, and that game has so proxywording high-edge performance, that it demands a very powerful setup

#

to be playable

#

i'm pretty good with 1920 and 1280 for now, actually

simple owl
#

well well, at least you don't have to disable everything for keanusimventyseven , that game is poorly optimized

mild pelican
#

i'll not even try to run it

simple owl
#

nope, don't and never

mild pelican
#

my friend has pretty good setup, and she managed to squeeze solid 30 fps from it, and she's good

#

i have no false hopes here

simple owl
#

If i would ever see 55-60fps i would just tear from my eyes
the visuals is amazing but the performance is so bad

bronze lintel
#

at least it makes a good screensaver dusa

simple owl
#

not wrong

#

somehow, thru all of that, low settings doesn't seem as bad as the low settings from other games

mild pelican
#

imagine cp77 loading every 15 minutes of idle work ron

simple owl
mild pelican
#

idk what's worse

#

wait for ten thousand years of loading or face the ancient abominations

simple owl
#

note that the ps1-esque graphics is because it's not loading , cuz we all have hdds

#

it's more visible on npcs and buildings if you zoom in on them

mild pelican
#

still better than missing locations in SC however

#

and bc there is still no server meshing, you can fall through the void and die, and only you will see that

fair sun
simple owl
#

the game just doesn't catch up to you when you do certain stuff like bunny hop bugs, or never catches up cuz it expects that you have an ssd

#

also, sometimes you need to press escape and wait for the UI to LOAD

sturdy quartz
#

@native ore and even in GDP PPP per capita

#

its so misleading since it measures the size of the cosnumer market rather than what you would expect it to do, which is say how rich every person is on average

#

I think people overuse those sorts of statistics but I think I do that mistake alot too so like

past lark
#

just dont play cp77

#

play fighting games

#

or metal gear solid

mild pelican
#

i do want to play mgs

simple owl
#

metal gear solid
im waiting for the remakes so i can replay it

past lark
#

mgs5 can run on a fugging trash can

#

its really well optimized

#

and kinda old now

mild pelican

wat happened with Proxy

i killed em

once and for all

#

no more proxy

with light theme the pic looks creepy

simple owl
#

wait , what?

mild pelican
#

with dark theme it looks even creepier

#

well, like the original, so it's legit

#

i was sure at first it's Hiding the pain Harold smh

simple owl
#

light mode looks so weird now that I've went to the dark side

mild pelican
#

well, i prefer my monitor to be the primary source of light

#

otherwise it is not cozy enough

simple owl
#

weird af

#

to the ones that are asking "why is there a a subaru and emilia server icon?" I swear that's my friends' school server where we dump all stuff related to school and homeworks in there

mild pelican
#

but noone asking

simple owl
#

i love to create fake situations

mild pelican
#

even weirder.. like in the open field at night

#

or staring at the wall

#

instead of a window

#

not judging though

simple owl
#

my room is not very well lit so I prefer the dark greys and OLED blacks in my screens

#

you do you , ain't judging either

mild pelican
#

i guess, the lighting of the room is the main reason for theme preference for many people

simple owl
#

i prefer warmer lights

mild pelican
#

for me good lighting is crucial for movement, but i know many people who prefer not to use any light at all

#

they just stay in the darkness at nighttime

simple owl
#

there's this another lightbulb in the room that makes me half blind if I stare at it for too long

mild pelican
#

happens

simple owl
#

schoolhomeworksandprojects

#

perhaps

#

it was created cuz i was a mod in an another server and we did this gig on someone and he was mad about it and made another server
a day later he rejoined

simple owl
#

i didn't care at all
I'm just reading and solving a collection of questions that I hope I will get in my exam day

forest basalt
#

okie have fun

simple owl
#

likewise

forest basalt
simple owl
#

i knew someone's gonna do that

forest basalt
#

i actually thought of it the day i saw it but i have zero talent so i scrapped it

#

i would like to learn how to edit videos but hallelujah money

simple owl
#

also, Vegas movie studio is just what the average human needs for editing videos

#

none of that 500$ pro proxyword

forest basalt
#

it's just really amogus reference when they ask you for your credit card number when you just need it for a week.

#

i mean 30 bucks ain't bad and i think it's permanent

simple owl
#

yep, and again, has everything someone needs

#

when I say someone i say like.. me and you, doing those proxywordposts

simple owl
forest basalt
#

Well, your also a Honk() so i think you're keeping it balanced as the power of the Honk() is much larger than Johnduck Silverfoot, though in large number the Johnduck Silverfoots may take over the power of Honk().

simple owl

nope, not on my watch

forest basalt

You're doing your job well then.

I think I'm in running for most hours of Hades played.

forest basalt

how many?

#

the most i've seen was one of the mods had like 259

#

or was that fox?

simple owl
#

legends say that Schpoonman comes in so that Schpoonman refresh the boons that makes this server unique

forest basalt
#

idk i do alotta snooping.

faint panther
#

I don't have an exact count.

forest basalt
#

THEN LOOK

faint panther
#

I don't have an exact count.

#

I played a lot with my computer completely disconnected from the internet so the EGS didn't record hours played.

#

And I rolled back my save file around the time of launch and lost ~200 runs.

forest basalt
#

so you have no proof that you have played hades the longest

faint panther
#

Nothing hard.

forest basalt
#

aight

#

you do you

faint panther

If someone really wanted to make a thing about it I wouldn't fuss.

i just want to max out achievements then i'll stop my hades grind

But the sauce broke super hard. I need to try again and get it to stick together.

tender cobalt

Try, try again starts playing

forest basalt
#

i like the tritones in that song

#

well implemented

tender cobalt
#

Illuminate me: what are tritones? peachOhMy

forest basalt
#

you have a piano or keyboard? much easier to explain with one of them on hand.

simple owl
forest basalt
#

not good

#

can't find a teacher

#

and youtube tutorials aren't as useful as you think

simple owl
#

unfortunate

#

what do you think is the difficult part in playing a guitar?

forest basalt
#

fingering

#

that sounds weird out of context

#

chords and finger placement to play notes

simple owl
#

I understand. I can assume that you haven't got the hang of the placement of the notes, correct?

forest basalt
#

mmmm

#

yes

simple owl
#

hmmm, I'd love to see progress about your guitar adventure
I also happen to have a friend that is a guitar player

#

he's the metal and alt rock type (maybe hardcore punk rock, trust me i'll pull him to that)

forest basalt
#

i was thinking more acoustic guitar and ukulele

simple owl
#

interesting for sure

forest basalt
#

my ukulele is a toy uku and my guitar is broken sooooo

tender cobalt
#

I don't have a piano near me sadpeach

forest basalt
tender cobalt
#

Acoustic guitar, baby! I love me some folk music agooglehearts

forest basalt
#

a tritone is essentially an interval that is 3 full tones away from the root note, usually c4, or middle c

#

when music was made for church it was seen as the devils note as it is very dissonant compared to surrounding notes that are a full tone away or a semitone away.

forest basalt
#

on the second bar of the celetsa or glockenspiel (i can't tell which it is) it uses tritones as a response to the much happier major duotones (it has a different name but i forgot it but it's just 2 full tones away from the root)

#

11 seconds to 14 seconds is what i'm referring to

simple owl
#

someone knows about M&L squirtnya

forest basalt
#

it also uses call and response to add a sense of dynamics, it maybe because the major duotones are telling you to try and the minor tritones are telling you to quit.

#

now i'm analyzing instead of explaining what a tritone is but you get the gist.

tender cobalt
#

OMG All this music theory!

forest basalt
#

sensory overload?

tender cobalt
#

Listening to the 11s mark

forest basalt
#

sorry.

tender cobalt
#

I loooooooooooove this song~

forest basalt
#

also 8-11

#

seconds that is

simple owl
#

M&L battle and boss themes are cool (except partners in time, idk that one was weird for me)

#

especially M&L Bowser's inside story

forest basalt
#

i could never get into m&l, gameplay is too turnbased rpg

simple owl
#

that's why I loved it

forest basalt
#

o

and the same reason transistor was my entry point to sgg

I should play persona ik

Random fact of the day:

The only remaining countries in the world which don't use the metric system are the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar (Burma).

faint panther
#

C'mon, the Americans here probably already feel dumb enough there's enough of us that kept Corona going through 2021, don't gotta rub that in our faces too.

forest basalt
#

they aren't switching

#

plus corona wasn't all our fault

faint panther
#

No, but not wearing masks was.

forest basalt
#

i just wish they reported flu like they do corona

#

so we can be in perpetual pandemic

#

might slow down productivity but i like the way school is like now.

forest basalt
faint panther
#

But the flu isn't anywhere nearly as dangerous as Coronavirus.

forest basalt
#

just 69 percent our fault

loud grotto
#

nice

faint panther
#

It's much more present, sure, but it's not a pandemic-tier virus.

forest basalt
# faint panther But the flu isn't anywhere nearly as dangerous as Coronavirus.

I'm just saying that if they reported the flu like they do the flu they would be scared pantsless because of the numbers. cdc also just approved a johnson vaccine. so covid maybe coming to an end in the next 6 months. if they started reporting the flu like covid they will start the next pandemic. or maybe even the common cold. ooh that'll start a BIG pandemic.

faint panther
#

No, it wouldn't.

#

Because the flu is not as dangerous.

forest basalt
#

plus the uneducated would treat like the world is ending

faint panther
#

Flu numbers are already very easily findable for literally anyone with an internet connection.

#

Which is a lot of people who I will charitably call uninformed.

faint panther
#

Not yet.

forest basalt
#

pffft

faint panther
#

I haven't spoken to you much, I don't wanna make a quick assumption.

forest basalt
#

so i'm on the road of stupid

#

but i'm not there yet?

faint panther
#

But while quantity matters, quality tends to be a stronger multiplier, which is why Coronavirus' greater deadliness warrants more news attention.

forest basalt
#

i know covid i dangerous but happy news

#

some 105 year old beat covid

#

lemme find the article

faint panther
#

That's wonderful, and a pretty extreme outlier.

Random question: do you guys pick up accent after consuming a certain media?

#

Example: you watch a show filled with southern accent characters and you suddenly start talking in that accent

#

It's kind of annoying to me, cause sometimes I have to ask customer's order with irish accent today

#

And southern tomorrow dusa

sinful hedge
#

Not me but its pretty common

#

flashback to all the kids that suddenly spoke in british accent just because of Peppa Pig

sudden torrent
#

Somewhat possible. I don't exactly consume the same stuff since I sort of got the hang of it, but guess it is true somewhat. Was taught British English alot, but over the years got more American English so I sticked more to its rules.

sinful hedge
#

Im just really bad at speaking I cant even imitate any accents

bronze lintel
#

I mean, I once binged a show called Preacher, the setting was southern america and I spoke southern accent for 2 weeks dusa

I don't know if I can but I feel I can. I know I can imitate manners and accent of announcement person in airport

once a song Down Under was stuck in my head, and for that period i spoke with australian accent in my head

not for long, couple of days

ugandan knuckleses also made some influence back in the day

simple owl
#

I picked up a new yorker accent after a year of class in there(cawfee instead of coffee) but didn’t stick for far long, but The Office made my almost American accent sound good

#

Mind you before all that i was talking in the heavy english accent that you expect from arabs (it’s amusing for me to hear my friends talk in heavy english)

Oh and tie it up with the “mate” and “bruv”

bronze lintel
#

Back in my highschool days, I had a teacher with an eastern Indonesian accent. He told my class to stay quiet and do our assignment while he was called to principal's office. I subconciously replied with his accent.

#

this is related to the current discussion in #video-games but off-topic: i've been curious about brand adoration ever since hypebeast stores properly came to my state. it's something I never want to relate to (fully, at least) but am curious of

#

fashion branding particularly catches my eye because I love trends but so much of it reads as tacky to me. like, getting logos of a brand all over oneself

forest basalt
#

are you asking a question or just trying to understand why?

dry stratus
#

just trying to understand the thought processes behind it yeah. it reminds me of a kid plastering themselves with stickers and running wild w it

#

ironically some harajuku styles incorporate lots of stickers into their looks

forest basalt
#

some brands have a sense of status behind them. some people i doubt they adore the brand it's just the status symbol attached to the brand.

#

of course there are always objections

dry stratus
#

🤔 yeah okay that makes sense! thanks

queen blaze
#

Also, it helps people claim an identity they choose as opposed to one that’s assigned.

forest basalt

poof

hexed hollow
#

mmhm, for They/Them it's definitely both a gendered and non-gendered term. Many Enby people use They/Them, She/Them, He/Them etc. as pronouns but there's also those who don't like They/Them at all so Neopronouns are also a thing (Xe/Xim, Fae/ Faer etc.)

queen blaze
#

Gender terms fun (YMMV):
Agender - not identifying strongly as any gender
Non-binary - A gender identity which is not within the binary (feminine or masculine).
Genderqueer - A gender identity which is outside feminine or masculine, or a feminine/masculine identity outside what is considered typical (I am here 😁)

hexed hollow
#

niceu klinkCozy

queen blaze
#

As far as pronouns go, I use the same advice for myself I tell my Big Kid, if you’re not sure, use “they/them” and ask nicely.

hexed hollow
#

and one thing that hasn't been brought up but alas, sex is also a spectrum not the "2 sexes" thing you've likely been taught through school

#

I remember vaguely seeing a graphic in regards to it but I don't remember where

queen blaze
#

YES! “Sex” is biological and exists on a slider in humans. Gender is social, variable, and has no hard scientific definition.

hexed hollow
#

anyways for example you can have a cis male with xx chromosomes

queen blaze
#

And there’s XO, XXY, all sorts of variations.

proud flicker
#

swans can be gay

hexed hollow
#

your sex chromosomes don't do much special to determine your sex :3

queen blaze
#

Also, brains become gendered at a different point in development than your bits, so you can literally have a feminine brain in a male body or vice versa.

hexed hollow
#

yep bittie3

#

so as I said in #video-games this stuff gets incredibly complex once you dive into the details

🎶Humans are weird, that’s why we love them. Don’t be Theseus and we’ll all be friends!🎶

queen blaze
#

There’s probably someone better from one of the other games, but I’ve been marathoning “Hades”.

#

PFLAG has a good glossary of terms on their site.

#

And don’t feel weird asking either. This is the first time in modern history that people have been able to openly discuss 🏳️‍🌈 stuff, so we’re having to define a LOT of stuff as we go.

#

I didn’t know the term for myself until I was almost 30. I knew I was different, but I didn’t have a label to put on it for a ridiculous chunk of my existence.

hexed hollow
forest basalt
#

But is there a reason to be trans or to mangle your body to appear as the other gender/sex? ||(whatever we're talking about)||

hexed hollow
#

the reason can be wide and varied

queen blaze
#

We all try to make our bodies to match the ideal we have in our minds. Some people do that with clothing, exercise, tattoos, hair, surgery, all kinds of stuff. Humans have been doing that for as long as there have been humans. Some folks are just lucky enough to be born with a body that’s closer to their ideal than others.

I asked somebody why they decided to be trans and they said that it was because women we're oppressed, so why would you want to be apart of the trans community when they are prolly the most oppressed community of people in the world especially when in america our most recent presidents (Uncle Joe and Mama Donald) are 70 year olds with dementia.

Well, you don’t get to decide what communities you belong to.

and is trans a physical thing, emotional, mental, or even spiritual if you're into astrology or chakras?

queen blaze
#

That depends on the person.

unfortunately for those that do need surgery to get close to their mental image of themselves there's several roadblocks to overcome to even get close to receiving the surgery

#

especially in the US so I hear

#

For me at least, I experience panic attacks when things get too feminine. Clothing and hair are particular triggers for me personally. I changed my carrier so I would not have to dress in gendered clothing for work.

#

Being pregnant was very difficult.

there's not much in terms of non feminine clothing for pregnant people

#

if any at all

Being pregnant is one of the most gendered experiences a person can have. You are constantly being reminded of an identity you don’t align with. Also, doctors are not trained to deal with 🏳️‍🌈 issues, especially in OBGYN (but they should be!)

ofc that's prolly offensive

seahorses would like to have a word. The males are the ones that carry the babies

Here’s the other thing, I can hide my queerness. I usually do out of safety and convince. (IRL I am very private about certain things.) It does take a toll on my mental health though.

hushed gorge
#

To be honest, just being queer is a bit of a mental health endurance

queen blaze
#

And for some people, the toll of the mismatch between presentation and inner self is too great to be sustained. It’s worth the risk to be out.

i do know that amphibians and some sea animals change gender according to the needs and wants (if you catch my drift) of the group, herd, gaggle, or murder they're in.

queen blaze
#

I would love that.

hushed gorge
#

"or murder"
I can't wait for someone to ask for clarification here

forest basalt
#

but does that mean humans can just stop sexual maturity and go the other way.

queen blaze
#

If I could just swap, that would be amazing!

#

Yeah, I know

But not everyone does

Somebody draw that.

Sure

#

The entire idea of gender is a bit odd, and there's absolutely some alternate universe where gender never existed to begin with

forest basalt
#

gender is a way to categorize who you should or shouldn't have sex with it. (is that tos?)

hushed gorge
#

Great question

queen blaze
#

Our gender ideas are old and super out of date.

hexed hollow
#

yeah our gender ideas, and even sex ideas are super out of date

queen blaze
#

The binary is also re-enforced by people who want to keep order because they benefit from it. (And no, I do not mean all of any particular group.)

#

And... religion.

hushed gorge
#

Anyways, the oddness of gender isn't in its existence, but rather the fact that literally anything is tied to it

forest basalt
#

If we didn't have someone that was 70 years old and had dementia in the oval office we could have a bill or law passed with something about updating gender ideas.

#

that's prolly something for the united nations though

hushed gorge
#

Oh, that's going to annoy someone who didn't read this entire thread, isn't it?

queen blaze
#

Humans like categories. You see it a ton in young kids. My Toddler had to check every color of chalk because he had to sort them as “food/not food”.

hexed hollow
#

it'll likely be at least a generation before we see the general consensus around gender changing

forest basalt
#

so we won't be able to see it

#

2077

#

my bets in

#

y'all owe me 5 bucks if it happens then

hushed gorge
#

Some of us are likely going to be alive during 2077 :p

#

Well, not likely, but

#

I'm jinxing myself aren't I

forest basalt
#

by then we'll also have dementia, we won't care.

hushed gorge
#

Fair enough

queen blaze
#

I’m hopeful for this gen coming up. There are enough of us Millenials and Xers doing the work of undoing the assorted phobias. The more kids raised without the horror training, the better we will all be.

hushed gorge
#

(This is an entirely separate discussion, but the idea of tying hopes to a generation is probably just as borked)

queen blaze
#

Well, I’m throwing my two to the cause. And that’s the corner I can effect. I’ve got a Big Kid who understands that “they” is a singular pronoun and that he can marry a mommy or a daddy. That has to be enough for now.

#

Because if you try to solve all the problems yourself you’re on the express train to Saddest Saddo land.

hushed gorge
#

“they” is a singular pronoun
Oh, this is another thing - I feel like a new word should be invented for gender neutrality, since "they" is grammatically plural and messes up subject-verb agreement
