Skyrim sucks too

Thanks! It’s scary how simple it sounds to play, knowing how vast the possibilities are calculations are. I should go find old korean guys in the park and start getting my butt whooped i guess

I’ve been watching that on TV lately! We call it Ba-dook :) I do really wanna learn it, but it seems sooo complex

Um, Chess

TES6 isn’t out yet? neat. wouldn’t know, cuz fuck Bethesda

they don’t even need to make a good game anymore eh? just skinner box their way to the top?

Oh come on, now you’re just feigning ignorance. The body types correspond to both modes of human sexual dimorphic presentations. Just because you take away the names doesn’t mean the dimorphic traits are absent. It IS a sexually dimorphic character creation system. So within that, let’s look at who gets to be the default and who gets to be the “second sex” (highly recommend reading de Beauvoir, again). OP is taking issue with not just the veiled binary but also the hierarchy within it.

Let me put it this way. Imagine if the body types were no longer sexually dimorphic but had varied skin tones. And despite the fact that we know skin tones present in a variety of ways, they only offered light peach skin tones and dark skin tones. And they made the secondary one the darker skin tone. Maybe you or I would have a problem with it, maybe we wouldn’t. But could you understand why someone might take issue with that? It’s a fair objection to make, whether we can conceive of a solution or not.

And hey I think OP’s solution would apply pretty well here: let us create characters with a variety of presentations! Or maybe just take away the “light” and “dark” options? A lot of people in this thread responded with great rationale from game dev standpoints, and that stuff is valid. I can see why devs do things the way they do. But I can also see why OP doesn’t like it.

OOPS sex is a social construct too

“Why do we have to be Universe B?! You be Universe A and we’ll be Universe’s 1!”

lol you should see what the slider does. it’s not great. max femme makes you turn cartoonish puffy and red

yikes, OP wasn’t calling this secondary any more than Simone de Beauvoir was when she published The Second Sex… it’s an actual problem that deserves recognition, and shitting on someone for recognizing it? you’re the one reinforcing the problem now!!

OP was merely gesturing at another instance of patriarchal culture treating the feminine as secondary by putting it second. not a controversial revelation tbh quite trite really

Tons of Satisfactory. They’re finally releasing 1.0 on September 10th and I’m stoked. Replaying new worlds, figuring out efficient build setups, messing around, etc. Great sandbox game.

still haven’t tried it! it’s in my library

FOMO is death anxiety, the light that illuminates all consciousness

Warframe is an absolutely excellent game and one more devs should look towards. Nearly endlessly entertaining, genuinely F2P with virtually no strings attached (as long as there’s a solid playerbase), lots of room for creative expression and exploration, care from the devs, great stuff.

Pretty much the only thing wrong with it is the endless bugs, but like, what game doesn’t have bugs? Okay maybe Warframe has a few more bugs lol

Say it with me: Nothing that Activision Blizzard ever makes will be ever good again.

They sold out at least a decade ago and they have produced nothing but skinner box bullshit since. It’s all 100% trash and I expect zero from them.

duuude skyrim has mountains!!!

oh boy, another shitty overproduction on the way…

thanks one problem with lemmy is that you gotta remember which instance is bussin if you wanna link

!patientgamers would agree and so do I
