ChaoticEntropy, do gaming w Male players: Why do you play female characters?
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

Easier to character create someone who you have more specific preferences over. Can’t really get as invested in how aesthetically pleasing my generic human bloke is, but I play more male non-human races.

(gonna answer this question in the past before i came out)

because i was in the closet and it was euphoric to try out new personalities online without letting anyone else know (looking in your direction WoW)

Caligvla, do gaming w Male players: Why do you play female characters?
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I don’t always play female characters, but I can think of a few reasons:

  • With rare exceptions I just prefer how the female characters look, be it prettier or cuter, they usually have way better character customization than the male counterparts.
  • Female clothing and equipment in games also just look more stylish and flamboyant, especially in Japanese ones.
  • And honestly I just like playing as someone different from me, if I can’t choose to be an alien or whatever, then the next best thing is a woman.

I played Mass Effect as female Shepard because i heard the voice acting was better. Generally for RPGs I play as “myself” though.

@ernest please take a well-earned break!!

jwr1, (edited ) do kbinDevlog w RTR#35 User profile enhancements: sorting options, new date range filter, reputation points fix
@jwr1@kbin.social avatar

Also, I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but I've noticed posts don't seem to show up in feeds until they have at least one favorite. This post, for instance, wasn't in https://kbin.social/c/kbin initially, but once I upvoted it, it showed up. Maybe it doesn't qualify as "hot" if it has zero votes.

@Teppic@kbin.social avatar

I think it is down to not qualifying as hot. If you sort by new after posting you'll likely be able to see them.

ContentConsumer9999, do kbinDevlog w RTR#32 Further refactoring, debugging voting errors

I've encountered an error a few times during upvoting, and it seems to occur when attempting to block users as well. I've made initial attempts to address the issue

Great! This is likely the most on Kbin right now so I'm glad it's getting fixed.

@ernest
you are so fast! how do you do that?

ernest,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

This is just a prototype, there will probably be some errors to fix ;-) But I want to see how it performs in practice and over time, I will refine the whole thing, and that will take a bit more time.

Yeah, I favorited my private collection (not sure why I did that...) and it seems to have permanently made it public, no big deal in this case, but I feel bad 'squatting' on collection slug.

ernest,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

Actually, I named it incorrectly. I treated as private collections those that don't appear in the listing, but you can still share them with friends. I changed it so that they are truly private, and I will add another status someday - non-public.

gibandaley,
@gibandaley@kbin.social avatar

Thanks! Looks like logged out the collection isn't accessible at kbin.social/c/collection-name anymore which is excellent, but is still accessible there when logged in (unexpected, though perhaps only accessible to my account, but I feel bad I might be squatting on a nice collection name) and is also accessible at kbin.social/u/gibandaley/c/collection-name (expected)

doc, do kbinDevlog w RTR#27 Aggregate view, work on federation

The aggregate view sounds exactly like what I was silently hoping for one day. Exciting! Is there a way to use this test version via the PWA on my phone?

ernest,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

Just select * from the Channel menu at the top of the page (next to the username), and then navigate/filter as usual within the aggregate view.

If you do it from this thread, it will activate the aggregate magazine view; if you do it from the main page, you'll get the main channel.

Ooh fancy. Doesn't quite work with infinite scrolling though.

ernest,
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

Nothing will escape you, as usual. I'm adding it to the todo list, even though I was planning to skip filters for now, but... it's actually a pretty nice feature.

This disappears when I try to turn on its preview.

GrayBackgroundMusic, do gaming w Alternative sources for the No Pronouns mod for Starfield

The right calls people snowflakes and then loses their mind when someone offers an option for pronouns. An option. You can still pick cis pronouns. Gtf outta here.

firebreathingbunny,

You are currently losing your mind because I ordetred an option to take out the trash.

wolfshadowheart, do piracy w Safe site to download older games?
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

Depending on the age, myabandonware and a guy named Vimm who has a lair are solid places.

Just one DL at a time from the latter, but it's worth it. Also it's not that bad of a hassle, go from small to large games and it's over in no time.

DessertStorms,
@DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

Unfortunately myabandonware just links back to steam and Vimm only has the PS version, but thanks!

maxprime, do piracy w Safe site to download older games?

You could always run it in a sandbox if you’re not sure.

Unpopular opinion: for executables, I purchase everything. It’s no longer worth it to me to risk a ransomeware attack. The game you’re looking for is $20 on steam which certainly isn’t free, but worth it imo.

DessertStorms,
@DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

I really have no interest in using steam.
There's a reason I asked in this specific community.

maxprime,

Fair enough! Not trying to guilt or pass judgement.

Have you used windows sandbox before? I’ve used it with success back when I used cracked executables.

Apollo2323,

Windows sandbox? What is that? Like a VM?

laylawashere44,

A VM that is cut off from the rest of the computer so that malware cannot pass to your computer.

maxprime,

Not exactly a VM but a desktop environment.

DessertStorms, (edited )
@DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

I appreciate it.
And no, I've not used the sandbox before, I generally just scan the file for viruses and hope for the best (terrible practice, I know, but I so rarely download anything), but I would be happy to try it out, problem is all the versions I've downloaded so far have been in Russian (even when selecting English), so even if I do test them in the sandbox, I still don't know what any of the UI is saying lol

seaturtle,

An admirable sentiment.

The fact that a game is Steam-only is good enough reason to pirate it.
