The game pulls it from your Microsoft account so that it can properly say 'Hello'. However, for some trans players, this feature has led to the game deadnaming them - a painful experience

If a dead name was so triggering to you, wouldn't you make the effort to change it in all possible circumstances? :marseythinkorino:

I can't even imagine how many :marseytrain2:s play Forza. A handful, maybe?

Forza is overwhelmingly male even for gaymers, so probably a lot of them.

Yeah but cars and racing games are also a very masculine hobby, surely it wouldn't fit the aesthetic.

Yeah that's fair, though I'm not sure they would have stayed in the military even if it didn't mean constant bullying.

It’s because, for all the balls these people have and/or desire, none of them actually have the balls to be out with their own identities. Changing the xbox name to something female would risk that.

Which is funny because you could just change it to like XxxShadowWarriorxxX, and regardless a lot of the names they choose are very obviously videogame usernames like Aeris.

Forza Horizon 5 addresses you by the name on your Microsoft account, but for some trans players, that has unexpected consequences.

Just change your Microsoft name, I'm certain that there is a setting for it

I was pretty shocked," one player, who asked to remain anonymous, told me. "I enjoyed the intro sequence and was having a lot of fun, but hearing the announcer call out my deadname completely blindsided me. I quit the game immediately and was close to just refunding it on Steam.

Refunding a game you genuinely enjoy just because you're too zoomer to either change your settings or make a new Microsoft account

The videogame called me by the name I set myself in my account, so I'm going to kill myself. This is a logical action. Stop calling us mentally ill.

The new Forza is pretty in-your-face with its 'inclusiveness' (they/them pronouns, prosthetics are a major character accessory, etc.) so it's hilarious how it's never enough :marseylaugh:

I just think if you're going to live life as an exceptional individual you should come better prepared for when you're unique choices don't quite fit into the patterns of everyday life.

Like be a :!marseytrain:, fine. You've got a fetish and no one can stop you. But to get dramatic everytime an old database or a birth certificate or an elderly relative reminds you that you used to be a man just seems very fragile.

The 2.7 is a genuinely cool and technologically advanced engine and I'd happily sperg out about it

Sadly the 2.7 is one of several deadly sins on my order, delaying delivery.

We made the initial reservation on 7/22/2020, placed our order 1/27/2021, and had to reorder last month due to hardtop recalls. If we're lucky, delivery will be around May 2022.

2.7, 2-door, leather, Sasquatch, tow package, lux package... all constraint items we ordered.

Not that I'll get to drive it much, it's actually for my wife -- not big enough for my tools :marseydickshadowonface:

Fricking heck @carp there's too many Marseys in the list. We need to split them into "general use", "being pet", "seasonal", and "current events".

Honestly probably better this way. First model years tend to be total clusterfricks, at least with recalls and delays they might get their shit together.

I can't wait until idiots roll them so I can grab the engine for something. Tuning shops are saying 500hp is likely achievable fairly easily, and the block should be extraordinarily strong with the CGI/aluminum construction

They already recalled every single hardtop due to quality problems

Is it any different than the 2.7 in the Ranger / F150? I've got a rather mild tune on my Flex's 3.5 EB and it's still plenty of fun.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

It's the same as the F150 one but not the Ranger, which AFAIK uses the old version. There are a bunch of internal changes and better fuel injection, it's definitely better than the old one. 3.5s are cool but open deck block is shit if you want to make much more power than stock, the 2.7 is semi-closed deck.

Jump in the discussion.

That's kind of surprising since it's on a Ranger platform, but also not surprising because Ford does stupid bullshit.

Why is stop-and-go cruise not available? It has the radar sensor. It has the camera for pedestrian/lane detection. It has the ability to hold the car in place for one-pedal driving and post-collision braking. It has every piece of hardware necessary for the stop-and-go they've offered in other models for years. Why not my $60,000 SUV?

No active park assist or cooled seats? Fine, it's not a suburban vehicle. But why aren't power adjustable petals an option? Midlevel Explorers had that a decade ago.

Actually I double checked some Ford forums and I'm r-slurred, it will be the 2nd generation, I was thinking of something else (Lincoln hasn't updated yet and won't until new model refresh). My bad.

My posts are demand-influenced. People feel the need to positively influence themselfes from others. The idiot is a part of the social system and as such has a vital part to play in society as he provides the chance for others to look down on him as he's doing such idiotic things. The internet has desensitised the general public. Someone whos erratically yelling things isn't as off-putting as it used to be when the village idiot was doing that job. People demand weird content that is crossing the boarders of social norms. People putting their bathroom usage on social media seem to be what people want to see. Actually, they are weird, much weirder than most of the other content here. As you can see, this content gets upvoted. You may not like it, but this content is satisfying the need for which people come to this subreddit.
