kalapala, do gaming w Whine harder you assholes

Games are not about you and the purpose often is to give you an experience that you wouldn’t have as yourself.

Depends on the game. Many games let you create a custom character and the character is defined by their actions.

Some games have zero character to the character you control.

Some are story based with strong characters where it isn’t about the player, sure, but those are less common than the ones that allow the player to either self insert or play a one dimensional archetype character.

What game?

panda_abyss,

Last of us part 2?

Screen_Shatter,

Part 1 too but only addressed in DLC.

Blackmist,

Do people really complain about playing as a lesbian? That’s like double the tits.

I did hear whining about having to play as a trans character though, despite the fact that you don’t. I can only imagine those people never played it and were just “hur dur big arms = man”.

Alright, I doubt you were going in this direction, but I’m going to rant anyway.

As guy, I’ve been sick and tired of male fetishization of lesbians in media for years. It’s creepy. They are not interested in you. Stop acting like you’re going to be the one to convert them into being bi. You aren’t.

Thank the stars that media is (slowly) growing out of this stereotype, because it’s not funny anymore, if was ever funny.

/ Rant over

Anyways, sorry to dump on your comment. It’s (hopefully) not directed at you. It just needs to be said somewhere

panda_abyss,

Sadly yes

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_Us_Part_II#Audi…

The Last of Us Part II was the subject of review bombing on Metacritic, resulting in a user review score of 3.4/10 at its nadir.[129][130] Reporters noticed the review bombing occurred shortly after the game launched—too early for users to feasibly have finished it;[131] some suggested that the reviews were based on the incomplete plot leaks.[102][130] Many negative reviews criticized the characterization and plot;[129][131] some complained of “social justice warrior” politics, with vitriolic responses to LGBT characters

They also thought that because Abby had muscles she was trans.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Edit: it’s optional, yet people still complain about it. I’ve even seen a forum post of someone who gleefully explained that he murdered an NPC because that NPC is canonically gay

Melonpoly,

Disgusting

I'd much rather play as a woman.

I’m cis, my character in Saints row ended up trans because I wasn’t a fan of dressing up a guy and wanted to dress up a woman.

    yeah I have gender dysmorphia. Gender Dysmorphia that I don’t look like He-Man as someone assigned male at birth.

    kkj,

    You sound like an AI slop caricature of a blue-haired teacher telling kids they’re trans.

    november,

    Not everyone you disagree with sounds like AI slop.

    kkj,

    Not by a long shot, but that person sure does.

    november,

    Which LLM says things like “still cis though”?

    kkj,

    The phrasing isn’t exactly dead on, but normal people don’t go around trying to convince others they’re trans for stupid reasons.

    november,

    It’s not “trying to convince”, it’s a joke. A bit of a tasteless one that should stay in egg_irl, but still a joke. And it sounds nothing like LLM output.

    mnemonicmonkeys,

    Wow, I should not have gotten this far down the thread before realizing the person was pulling som egg_irl bullshit.

    I literally thought they were going the opposite direction with their comment

    kkj,

    What I meant was more than they sounded like the caption someone would put on an AI slop image. I didn’t articulate it very well, though.

    kate,

    “ai slop” slop

    jaycifer,

    Hi, I spent a few years unpacking those feelings to figure out that I like crossdressing more than I like being the gender opposite my birth. One of the things that made it more confusing in the beginning was the slew of internet comments I would read reinforcing that any gender nonconforming activity was a sure sign I was trans.

    If you know the person irl and they consistently show signs of being trans I think it’s good to ask probing questions that may lead them there, but I don’t think it’s right to tell them who they are. Better for them to figure it out themselves. On the internet you definitely don’t know the person beyond a single post, or a few posts coming from their online persona (not their personal self). This means you have even less right to tell them who they are.

    Especially with the TM I took your initial comment as a joke, which I don’t find super funny anymore personally but can give a half smile and single roll of the eyes. Your edit about people unpacking their feelings implies to me that you were saying it in earnest though, which is where I start to have a problem for the reasons above. Just in case you want some insight on why you may be downvoted so much.

    Cethin,

    Yeah, no. You don’t have to try to make everything into more than it is. I’d be perfectly fine being trans. No hard feelings. I’m not though, but I sometimes play female characters because I prefer looking at them. It’s not more than that.

    MiddleAgesModem,

    So what? They didn’t say they weren’t. In fact, they said they were.

    Deyis, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 17th

    I’ve been playing through Death Stranding 2 and Is This Seat Taken? as well!

    I’ve also been dipping in a little to the new stuff in Monster Hunter: Wilds and setting up a ton of emulation on my brand new Steam Deck; I went from being excited to have the new machine to overwhelming myself pretty quickly!

    With levelup‘s 0.8 out of 10.0 there seems to be a typo they probably wanna fix

    Yes I think reviewers have a dashboard to post their reviews so they must have accidentally written 0.8 instead of 8

    Was kinda hoping it was gonna suck because fuck Konami, but shit, they pulled off a faithful remake and now I want to metal my solid gear again.

    Simyon, do games w Game recommendations

    I can personally recommend Duck Game. It supports 8 player local play.

    It’s a fighting game that plays on a single screen. Quite fast paced and not everyone’s kind of game but so far in my experience it’s been fun whenever guests come.

    Little fighter 2 just got a “remaster” released on steam. It has always been a blast. But it might be up to 4 local coop only.

    altphoto,

    LOL that’s an interesting one!

    Maddie_Hills, do NomadOffgrid w Looking for Laundry and Dry Cleaning Services in One Place? Try This

    I totally get what you mean. Having laundry and dry cleaning in one place makes life a lot easier. I had a similar experience when I was looking for a reliable carpet cleaning service for my home. After trying a few local options, I came across Colorado Stainmaster and it turned out to be a real time saver. Just like you mentioned about clothes care, they handle carpets and upholstery with the same level of attention, which gives peace of mind.

    I’ll add that Overte VR is the FOSS competitor. It also runs quite well, though is not quite feature competitive afaik.

    Both are great but I'm more sticking with Resonite but visiting Overte from time to time.

    Artisian,
    @Artisian@lemmy.world avatar

    Very similar for me. I suspect Overte will feel better for me when I setup hosting my own avatar, world, etc.

    So far as I know, there aren’t a lot of 8-player local multiplayer games. The only obvious answer is the Jackbox games, using your phones as controllers.

    Beyond that, I did find this Steam curator, who seems to specialize in 8-player games. From thier list, I recognize Gang Beasts, and Pico Park: Classic Edition. Party Golf, Screen Cheat, and Cobalt also all looked interesting, but I’ve never seen anyone play them.

    Literally scheduled stupidity. I’m actually surprised they were this upfront with it being AI and reacted this quickly to backlash. This could’ve gotten a lot worse with a lesser understanding team believe it or not.

    I think Neigsendoig (my producer) has an idea. You could play something like Super Tux Kart or another open-source game (mind you, that one I mentioned is FREE and Open-source) of the like.
