I’ve honestly been considering going back to Reddit but disabling comments in all but a handful of subreddits. My world has been a hell of a lot smaller since I started using Lemmy and has been shrinking.

I remember when that was the valve servers on any day of the week ending in “Y”.

I’m a gal. Replace the floor with carpet and add plushies and a dresser and boom. Perfection.

I also love using VR though, and that’d be an amazing VR space.

Man up, stop crying. Walk it off. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It builds character.

talk over all female characters because you know better than them. Disregard professional advice if it comes from a female character. Ask if you can get a second opinion, but only if the first one comes from a female character. Females are lower than men. Your job is to provide for them. They do not have the emotional stability to run anything. That’s why they clean, cook, and take care of children. That is why men handle politics, governance, leadership, and other important roles. Wo- cough Females can’t be trusted to be stable enough to handle such big tasks. You are important. You are big and dominant. Feeeeemales are small and submissive.

Real men have muscles. Real men don’t cry. Real men are physically strong. Real men are stoic, only showing emotion in instances of overwhelming happiness or loss. Real men know how to fight. Real men never back down. Real men never run away. Real men can do anything. As a man, you own the world around you, including feeeeemales.

I can keep going, but tbh I feel gross. I had to deal with a lot of this as a kid. I don’t think my parents realized how gross the male adults around me were, otherwise I’m pretty sure they would have been shocked and appalled by it.

Heretic. Something about that word feels very relevant in modern society…

I’m actually kinda concerned that’s part of the plan, but with the federal government instead of state. Plan a big “bailout” that involves buying all the bankrupt farmers and then use that to withhold food from dissidents.

That’s great but if they go bust, we starve.

God, what a fucking mood.

It’s him! It’s the man my parents always warned me about!

Do it on the clock, during a work day. Make sure you plan for nothing to get done that day. Make it optional: go to the field trip (expenses paid), or take a free day of PTO. Either way they get paid and, because you planned for it in the development schedule, don’t have to worry about potentially having to play catch up because of the day off later. That way it gives them the choice to go do something fun on the company’s dime or stay at home and recharge. Another thing to note: don’t limit yourself to game-related stuff like video game museums.

Go to an aquarium.

Go to a zoo.

Go to a national park if there’s one nearby.

Go to a natural science museum.

The artistic side of game dev takes inspiration from a wide variety of sources, not just other forms of media. Tbh, the most boring field trip I can think of would be to go to a movie theater or video game museum. I want to see something new and take inspiration from that.

Weighted Wildlife. They specify how much each one weighs on their site. I have an opossum from them and I love her. She’s one of my favorite plushies (don’t tell the others I said that though). They’ve also got some 5lbs dragons in the works.

Creep Cat Toy Company also makes some weighted plushies like the raccoon and opossum, and the weighted ones come with a zipper in the belly so you can, remove, or move the weighted bean bags around.

My 30s will probably be the best years of my life, if not my 40s. #justtransthings

That’s… actually a form of dysphoria. I can attest from first-hand experience, wishing you were a woman is a form of dysphoria. You don’t have to feel sad to be dysphoric, having a somewhat persistent desire to be seen as a different gender is enough.

Edit: this is assuming you aren’t already a woman >.>

No? The manosphere didn’t create it afaik. Afaik it’s satirizing the manosphere.

It’s fucking satire LMAO

God, it’s depressing how many people here don’t get that it’s painfully obvious satire.

It could make things slightly more difficult straight out of college, but beyond that? Not really. It took me 8yrs to get through college. The fact that you’re almost done means you’re doing great!

Edit: if anything I should have stopped and listened to the voice in my head telling me that the path I was on wasn’t the one I should have been going down. The voice didn’t start showing up until about 6yrs in to a 4 year degree, and listening to it would have meant it probably would have taken another 3~4yrs to finish, but I would have also actually had a career; one that I would have enjoyed, no less.

The ones I had were pretty shitty, lol. Like, I had some good ones like Zoombinis or Freddi Fish, but most of them were stuff like “Milly’s Math House”.

Windows 98

Windows XP

Dialup

The Old Internet aka when 90% of it was html and shockwave flash

Weird childhood obsessions; some were good, some were bad, some became things that defined me as an adult.

A lot of the edutainment games I played as a child. I actually went back and installed them to see what they were like through the eyes of an adult. There were a few that were still fun, but as you might be able to guess, most were pretty shitty.

That said, there have been a few things that ended up being 100% worth revisiting. CRT monitors, for an example, are unironically still kinda awesome. I just wouldn’t replace my main monitors with one.
