Q: would you feel weird about Ogmo's pronouns being it/its? Originally (back in 2004 when I made the first Jumper game) this was their pronouns. I've been leaning toward they/them this time but I'm curious about the implications of it/its pronouns considering the dehumanizing history of their usage

I become so attached to these numbers as I slowly finetune a platformer player class. This one has a lot of them because I tried to cram as many types of jumps into one moveset as I could
