I mostly read things here. Sometimes I’ll write a thing. Outside of Lemmy, I read things. Sometimes I’ll write a thing. Like software documentation. Or maybe something else. Who knows what the day will bring.

  • I get it, but I just want to point out that there are multiple forms of gender expression other than cis-binary and trans-to-other-binary.

    If someone wants to identify as male while either exercising a feminization kink, or generally performing more feminine than social expectations, that’s totally valid and okay and we should be discouraging anyone who adds to the societal shame pile such an individual already has to deal with.

    Lol I’m unhinged? The fuck is this shit, bro?

    You need to step away from the internet and rethink your life choices. Your behavior is not healthy and you clearly have mental health issues that you desperately need to get looked into.

    Let’s me clear - the “sexual conduct in front of minors” was literally this, as far as I can tell:

    1. In a theater that happens to have minors in the audience
    2. Boyfriend grabs her boob
    3. She grabs his crotch.

    First of all, no one gives a shit about #2 enough to call out his behavior. Wierd. Second of all, if you’ve never play grabbed in a dark movie theater with your SO, I feel bad for your relationships. Third, it’s not like she whipped his dick out and started rubbing her snatch in the seat.

    Was it inappropriate and trashy? Absolutely. Is she a sexual predator or a deviant because of it? No, chill the fuck out dude. Calling her sex life unhealthy is a huge stretch. And the fact that no one is calling the guy a sexual deviant is a little suss.

    Speaking of dipshit, read my fucking comment before responding.

    I’m not defending her behavior in the theater. She was being a nuisance and had every right to be kicked out.

    But this meme isn’t making fun of her for being a nuisance. Or of inappropriate sexual conduct in front of minors. Or vaping in a crowded theater.

    This meme is making fun of a woman for having a sex life.

    Right, I forgot I was talking to “PM_ME_FEET_PICS”, a paragon of morality.

    This meme is making fun of a woman for having a sex life. And that’s fucking gross, no matter who the target is. “How many balls to chin did she take?” Does it fucking matter? Do we need a bj limit for elected officials? Who fucking cares? Yeah, she’s a hypocrite and that needs to be called out, but the critique can’t just stop at “oooh she gives bjs”.

    Kennedy took a lot of vag to the face and no one bats an eye. Clinton got a bj in the white house and Monica Lewinsky got the most hate for it. This practice of shaming women for being sexual is gross and stupid and incel-level masogyny that needs to fucking stop.

    If you like Bethesda games, you’re gonna like this one. If you don’t like Bethesda games, you’re not going to like this one. I don’t know what else to tell you, bud.

    Don’t mistake the bitching of a vocal minority of lemmy/reddit posters and YouTube influencers (who bitch primarily for clicks) as “everyone”. There are actually a lot of people who like these games - myself included - and a lot of them aren’t on any sort of social media. I loved vanilla Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim, and Fallout 4 and love modded versions even more. I’m having a blast with vanilla Starfield right now - easily dozens of hours over the long weekend. And I’ll probably love modded Starfield even more as well.

    I agree totally.

    I don’t get people stanning NMS over Starfield. I mean No Man’s Sky is alright as a tech demo sandbox but even with the latest update, I get bored so quickly. Even the stations and civilization hubs feel dead, the plot is just so haphazard and slapdash. Starfield feels so much more cohesive and…has actual characters. But they’re also just very different games. Starfield is heavier on story content and NMS is heavier on procedural generation.

    I loved Cyberpunk’s story but I’ve found very little reason to come back outside of the main plot. GTA5 was a technical achievement under sweatshop conditions and while I hated the story, the world felt alive and full of things to do and places to explore. Cyberpunk feels like GTA if it was made with half the team and with one less year of development (because it was).

    And you stanning Cyberpunk and No Man’s Sky as polished games is hilarious to me.

    It took several years of fixing No Man’s Sky before it was anything more than a boring tech demo. Cyberpunk took years of bug fixes and a popular anime to break people out of the hate circlejerk and actually experience the fucking game. Starfield hasn’t even officially released yet. People need to chill the fuck out.

    Also what are you talking about with “the engine is showing it’s age?”. This is a brand new fucking engine. I’m playing the game on my Xbox in 4k and it looks better than anything I’ve played this year.

    My wife, a couple friends, and I have all put a ton of hours into this game and absolutely love it. I put several hours into the shipbuilder alone. Every hand built sidequest I run into feels like a TNG episode. And I love the kinda Becky Chambers / Star Trek-style utopia with mystery and drama theme they’ve got.

    This is the most Bethesda game they’ve ever made, for better of worse. It doesn’t hand hold you. There are plenty of times where I’ve looked at my quest log, found nothing i could do except the main quest, and then decided just to jump to a random system - only to get pulled into some crazy new adventure for a couple hours. You’re supposed to be an explorer, if you put even the smallest effort into exploring, you will be rewarded.

    A lot of people complaining were never going to like this game or any Bethesda game and I don’t know what to do with those people. The amount of constant negativity on the internet makes me really appreciate stories like TNG and writers like Becky Chambers and Cory Doctorow, because they’re so positive and affirming and optimistic and when they criticise, they also offer solutions. And this game really scratches that itch for me.

    And after almost 40 years of life dealing with the constsnt cycle of negativity and hatred and anger and frustration and drama, on the internet, a global scale, and in my own life…I’m just tired. I can’t play games with “edgy dark stories” anymore. I can’t go back to New Vegas because its bummer after bummer. And i know a lot of people thrive on that “scortched earth” bullshit but I just can’t anymore.

    I just…wanna sit down and play a game. And maybe one where everything is okay for once. And this is that game for me.
