Hey y'all, hope you're having a good day! I was wondering if anyone here could chime in with some advice concerning gender-neutral names. The short form (and my nickname) of my current name is gender-neutral and I'm considering just sticking with it when transitioning. Alternatively I could pick a new, clearly feminine name and go with that one. For me, keeping the old name makes sense in the way that I personally see my transition more as a character development kinda thing instead of it being a "rebirth" like some people experience it. On the other hand, picking a new name would create a clearer sense of ... femininity, I guess?

Anyway, before I keep on ranting, does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing or maybe any articles/links for me to read through? :)

Can confirm, am born in 2000.

 

I'm pretty new to the game (sub 100 hours) and have found a few mods that make it more suitable to my taste. My favourite so far is Research Reinvented, it makes the research system a bit more active than just having one pawn sit at the research table for days on end.

What about you guys? If you could only take one mod to the rimworld, which one would you take? Or is there a small mod that just adds one or two nice things you like? Feel free to discuss your favourites in the comments!

Thank you for your perspective! Now that I think about it, your theory doesn't seem that far out there.

Thank you, this is the kind of context I was looking for!

Yes, maybe I was looking for more than there is to it. For me, it felt very pathos-y and as if it wanted to convey a deeper message, but when I found none at the end, maybe that's exactly what Anderson was going for here. Or is going for in many of his movies. I think I'll see another one of his to try and make this clearer to me.

And I agree on there being a lot of characters! It's a great cast that shows up surprisingly little, so to say. :D

Interesting that the Hitman games make you feel like this, I thoroughly enjoyed them because of the ability to replay levels endlessly, which made me feel like I can't miss anything because I can just start over if I want to try a different approach.

Totally agree on them taking too long and I've also found myself being annoyed with Addison quite quickly. The koroks I don't mind as they offer a different challenge every time and it's not very relevant to complete them all. But Addison's tasks are. always. the. same. Boring!

Love the crop top

100% agree with you, being a completionist also sucks the enjoyment out of games for me. I feel like I'm not as far along as you and still have to "get" that I don't HAVE to explore and find everything. Just takes a while, probably. :) It's hard for me to decide whether a game is worth exploring extensively or not.

[–] Cartendole@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Very well said, you're right! There's definitely too much to see for a single person in a single playthrough.

[–] Cartendole@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Truee, Fallout also made me feel like this! I've only ever started FO4 but I had to return it within the first two hours of playing because I felt forced to loot every house and find every little story in that giant world. Too much for me!

[–] Cartendole@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

I feel this 100%, I'm also currently playing it with a friend (well, we've been at it for more than 6 months) and I'm so so glad he's pulling me through the game, I'd never ever finish it on my own.

[–] Cartendole@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Glad to see you're also a bit confused about TotK! It definitely feels like it has less of a direction it pushed you in than BotW. There was another comment that suggested completing a bit of the main story first, I think I'll try that for now.

 

I've recently found that big (mostly open world) games tend to overwhelm or even intimidate me. I'm a big fan of the Rockstar games and absolutely adored Breath of the Wild, but my playthrough of Tears of the Kingdom has been a bit rocky from the get-go.

As soon as the game let me explore all of its content and released me from the tutorial island, I was able to roam the lands of Hyrule freely as I once did in Breath of the Wild, but I've come to a sort of paralysis. I feel like there's such an enormous amount of content to see that I'm constantly anxious to unintentionally skip content or to not make the most of my experience. I did not feel like this back in Breath of the Wild, and I'm not really sure why. I did, however, have this same sense of FOMO when I first played Skyrim. That game also made me feel like I was constantly missing stuff which left me kind of unsatisfied.

This is not a big problem and all of the games I listed are great games. I'm posting this because I unconciously took a two week break from ToTK in order to alleviate that feeling but when I came back to the game today and still felt the same, I thought of posting here and maybe hearing your opinions on this thing.

Have you ever felt the same in big open world games? Do you feel like this in more linear games with multiple endings? (I do) Do you think I'm an overthinker and should just rock on? Looking forward to your comments!

Nu, het is al in de title. Pardon als dit niet de juiste plek is om dit te vragen.

Ik ben alleen maar kutduitser maar ik houd echt van de nederlandse memes op reddit. Als ik het correct heb gezien, is er nog geen community voor nederlandse memes op deze instantie(?). Ben ik op de correcte plek hier of moet ik ergens anders zoeken?

Oh en als einige van jullie van duitse memes houden, er is al !ich_iel@feddit.de :)
