My boyfriend works as a Nurse (very pink-collar career) and the way he needs to talk to many of his coworkers is very passive and meek.

In my manufacturing/engineering jobs where it's like 90% dudes, I can go "hey, dude. you made a mistake. Here's what it was. Please be mindful going forward" and they'll go "yup. okay" and we'll keep humming along.

If he said that, they would go "yup, okay" and then proceed to actively make that same mistake for several months while also ignoring him/giving him the silent treatment until he apologizes for his harsh language. With his coworkers it needs to be something like "hey, is there something that you think we could've done better?" -- a passive question followed by shared ownership, when the asker already knows the answer AND that it's all that bitch Carol's fault. But can we call out Carol? Nooooo.

They're long time members of the gym, who probably go there together and frequently, and they baked some cookies for the manager and staff.

It's a little cringy but odds are it's a really sweet thing and a focus on fitness has probably played a major role in establishing or concreting their relationship, and is to be celebrated. Go them.

Honest advice -- and this is something I had to acknowledge, be mindful of, and follow through with -- validate what they're saying.

Internally you're going "yeah, uh huh, I get that. And here's my response to justify my behavior:" Externally, you're saying "Here's my response to justify my behavior", and thus this reads like you're quick to being defensive. Praise their open communication and accept the feedback which you can now try to improve upon going forward (with either her or The Next Chick).

Then if you want to express where you were coming from, go for it.

That they play video games as a form of escapism or power fantasy, and being reminded about how unjust the world is, that trans people exist and are harmless, or the citizens of the world have different skin colors and accents makes the game less fun for them.

my boyfriend insists that it's a gift giving holiday, and so I'm obliged to reciprocate. I think he'll like it; something personal and something to help make the guest room (something of "his" space) to feel more "his".

Currently 50/50 versus going out to dinner and then playing some games at Dave and Busters, or having a date night in where we'll cook something together, put on Alien (not Aliens; I am a man of quality) and then get frisky halfway through it.

It already is.

A lot of ballots have like 20+ different candidates or votes to amend constitution. You can just choose to abstain when you don't care or lack the ability to make an informed decision and go to the next vote. Blanks are valid.

It rewards you for putting points into all of your stats. So you get a little of faith and intelligence for some intermittent spellcasting or weapon buff of choice, moderate carry capacity, HP, stamina, etc. It's literally just being a "Jack", but, like a badass one.

Compare this to, say, going full Pyro or full Katana or something.

If you've played D3/D2 or any other similar games, you've got enough skills to figure out the rest. There's not that much nuance, lol.

Before level 50, you can refund any skill points so you can try all sorts of different builds and skill customizations so you can toggle things as you feel like experimenting, or a new skill becomes available, or you find some awesome gear combo that greatly rewards a certain damage type

Oh, and if you sell all of your weapons (even the ones you have equipped) you cannot use any skill, and it's possible to get stuck if you're in a very narrow band of storyline where you're trapped, need to fight to escape, and no vendor is available. It literally happened to my boyfriend. Don't fat finger with the vendor, lmao.
