If you wanted everything in the video game to mimic your real life, just go outside. Video games have always existed as an escape, to put ourselves into a situation we’d normally never find ourselves in, to live a life we can’t in the real world. If pretending to be gay for a few hours threatens your sexuality in a way that pretending to be a superhero for a few hours doesn’t threaten your abilities, maybe that says more about your sexuality than it does about the game?
B.bbbb-but if I see it then I might catch The Gay! We all know that the moment you see or hear anything even remotely related to lgbtq+, you checks flash cards immediately burst into dance while singing Queen and waving a pride flag.
I play a woman named Vala (Mal Doran) or Adria in 99% of the games that let me customize. Because every other game I’ve played is always a generic male character doing generic action things.
“I’ve seen that movie played that game before” - Jordan Peele, if he were a gamer.
if i’m exposed to lgbt content i might be forced to confront that my repressed attraction to hairy man ass actually means i’m gay, and that’s much too frightening a prospect
I had this in Warhammer 40k: Darktide the other day. I had VC, this guy didn’t and was on Xbox so typing was difficult. He was doing some really bizarre shit and I just said “Man what the hell are you doing?” And he just looked at me and crouched repeatedly, slowly, and stared and I just said “Okay” and followed him.
He knew of a shortcut on the map that none of us knew about that took us down some paths with a ton of items that were hella useful.
Honestly, probably my favourite thing about the Titanfall 2 online community. Can be in a heated match but if you’re in a Titan and encounter an enemy pilot frantically crouching at you, you are honour-bound to start a crouching dance party.
Damnit, now I feel like an asshole…I would do this with people on opposing team when I played cod blops and mw2. I would get annoyed after a while and would drop my claymore or a grenade to get out of the situation. Always felt awkward, in a game to kill each other, but you want me to follow you around? Nah…
this is like half the reason why DRG is so good, there’s so many rituals the community has developed and most of them have voice lines from mission control telling you to knock it off (which of course makes it that much funnier)
it’s kinda strange there’s no crouching though, i want to see my fellow dwarves crouching at light speed before doing something incredibly stupid
I started up a new city in Cities Skylines 2. Trying to build a city mate up of little pit stops along the highway with no industrial zones at all. It’s been an interesting experiment so far! The game does track the jobs generated by retail and city services, so if you balance it just right you can have enough work to attract residents and use the highway connections to just barely generate enough sales for the commercial zones to stay profitable. And the city as a whole is getting closer and closer to a positive balance in the budget, so I might just pull this off…
