I still remember when I first saw this on Reddit the name of ruawri (including the trans flag) was cut off and people were insulting her in the comments how she was self-absorbed, "character looks nothing like her", "she wishes she looked like that", "women always make themselves in video games", etc.

When it turns out she is trans now suddenly it's sweet and wholesome and got featured at Respectful Memes. People are hypocrites.

Different people with different context and at different times behave differently?

I should use this as the basis for my thesis, thank you ParsnipWitch!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Holy fuck, but TomatoRogue is in another thread explaining to everyone how people all behave the exact same in all contexts and at all times! I don't know who to believe anymore.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 year ago

I don't expect people who leave such comments would suddenly be supportive after finding out she's trans. For what it's worth, I missed the trans part at first and just thought it was neat.

Have you considered that Reddit is full of toxic incels propagandized to by GG?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy is the nerdiest part of Reddit, my guy.

They walk among us.

Tbf, there were actual incidents where game news journalists gave preferential treatment to indie game devs they knew personally/went out drinking with/had dated. There was confirmation of that from leaked game journo email groups/chains. There was also concerns about preferential reviews being given to games that were running ads on a site. There was a small kernel about actual journalistic integrity concerns and what responsible disclosure means for games journalism.

Unfortunately that got swallowed up by a lot of bullshit:

  • absolute waves and waves of women hate. Jesus christ that's a lot of misogyny.
  • elitism about what qualified as a "real game" (I don't enjoy "walking simulators" but that doesn't mean they aren't video games)
  • people unable to understand that just like movie critics are judging different criteria to movie consumers, game critics can judge based on different criteria to gamers
  • weird group stalking behavior towards specific female game devs
  • attacking creators themselves rather than whatever elements of their games people found lacking

I can't imagine the kind of emotional trauma that trans people have to go through. It's good to see when they get a win.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Thank you for the empathy, friend <3

Tbh it's really difficult these days with all the hyperfixation on us. Especially when the powers that be choose to target us and our healthcare specifically. To live is an act of defiance at this point.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

What does that have to....oh shit, really? Damn...

girls just want to have fun 😛

Nor did I. I was hella confused.

Nice to see all the huh durr comments in here, as if they know everything there is to know and could never not understand something.

Try and be less judgmental guys!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah I am old enough I just kind of scan past emojis so I had no clue.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

OP also plays GW

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Whoosh? Lol.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Damn, you're so far up the ass of your own misogyny that you can't even read critically. Life must be really hard for you.

EDIT: would this commenter saying "All [insert race here] look the same?" be acceptable to all of you? I sincerely doubt it. Why is them 'joking' the same about women okay for you all?

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On the one hand, very sweet.

On the other, UGH NOW I FEEL OLD. I was already an adult working an office job when guild wars 2 came out :(

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone I worked with was super into GW1 and was very excited about the sequel, excited enough that I tried it out at release. I liked it but didn't have a lot of time so lost interest.

I was quite surprised to see it pop up still being updated the other day!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a surprisingly good game for one that's been out so long! And they don't raise the level cap so taking a break doesn't mean you fall behind.

Highly recommend, even for short bursts of play.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Not raising the level cap is super refreshing to see, might check it out.

Still one of the best MMO games on the market. Can recommend everyone to check it out.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Plus no subscription and horizontal design so you can take breaks comfortably.

It's worth seeing in my opinion if someone enjoys the genre. The only oddity to me is that it doesn't offer controller support and hasn't found its way onto consoles. It isn't an old school MMO with too many buttons.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Traumatic flashback to old MMOs that had 3 full bars of skills. Ugh. Guild Wars 2 nicely limits it to 10 skills at a time. Plus UI shortcuts like "inventory" and "equipment".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I bought it when it released. Does that mean that I can go back and play it again without paying more money? The subscription thing is what has stopped me from going back to Eve Online. I actually reinstalled it a month or so ago, logged in, saw that I couldn't even undock with the ship I was in, and uninstalled it. That was disappointing.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Man, I love guild wars 2. Too bad my characters can't be gender goals 'cause they're all charr, except for my meme-y salad man named "wyrd sahlud". I just wish their balance team wasn't so shit. I still haven't returned after they absolutely butchered my beloved Chronomancer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

If you’re refering to the time they removed quickness/alac combo, it was absolutely deserved. Back then, the only 2 supports were chrono druid, now you have much more variety. The nerf to distortion share was also deserved as it trivialized many raid mechanics. Besides these two things, chrono is still very viable, even in the hardest of content. PvP/WvW roaming burst is great, support in zerg is still very common. It can also be played as a decent power alacrity dps or pure dps in PvE.

It’s true however some patch notes are kinda bad, like a few months ago deadeye went from full dps 44k benchmark to quickness support 49k to all builds below 40k. This patch balance is really good however, and as someone who played since launch, I’d say it’s better than it’s ever been.

Met some of my closest irl friends in GW2, many of us don't even play anymore. It's a good one. :)

Que up the Mulan sound track

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The funny thing is that you can interpret this either positively or negatively depending if you choose lyrics "who is that girl I see vs "BE A MAN" lmao

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don't get how this is wholesome. Sorry

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

She's trans. So when she made the character she was still presenting male and therefore the character looked nothing like her. Now that she looks how she feels; it's a wholesome surprise that she looks just like the character she made potentially even before she knew she would transition.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I can relate
