I keep thinking Trab is Clyde at first because of the avatar and I'm being thrown off by Clyde being philosophical.

this even happened to me when I saw a post I made and was lik "oh look what clyde posted" haha. I need to change it back at some point. but it's so good.

As a species we're biologically programmed to procreate. It seems odd characterizing it as selfish or not selfish. It's just something people will always do. I guess it's a matter of your point of view.

Living is suffering but it's also joy. I'm glad I was born.

you're practically denying that having children is also a conscious decision that comes with responsibilty. we're not cavemen anymore. we don't just fuck around and act all surprised when a little person falls out of somebody - some people may still live like that but if you award human beings even just a little bit of intelligence you'll have to admit that this is not the standard anymore. or at least should't be. we think about stuff. and the effects of stuff. that's how morals and ethics are created.

Women are ruining mah shitty power fantasies.

I don't get why when the thing is expanding the market to other audieneces and not about removing what is already there. The overreacting by some is absurd.

I know people that love to use this image when arguing why women should stay out of games.

could you explain that to me? I don't understand the link

 

[Vazra]

could you explain that to me? I don't understand the link

There are more male gamers than women I suppose is the point some use? So the female gamers shouldnt matter or affect the games created or something along those lines is my guess.

Let us then examine your premise. I would suggest that life contains suffering AND joy. I find great value in my life and my existence.

Is it not then equally selfish to deny your child an opportunity to exist and experience joy? Why is the fear of suffering more powerful than the expectation of joy?

All this tells me is that you're in a pessimistic vibe right now breh

I don't understand why that became a meme but I'd be okay if he became a progressively deranged bounty hunter out for Finn's blood. at this point we'd be getting more hitchhiker's guide than star wars but well i wouldn't complain

That movie has a habit of taking cool designs and throwing them out the window (or in the garbage). Maybe Boba will come back.

There's no way Phasma died on Starkiller Base. That would be an extreme waste of Brienne of Tarth.

I can't even fucking joke about Gamergate.

It was so weird, at GDC, that we were joking about it but constantly had to be aware that anyone in the crowd could be pro-GG.

could you explain that to me? I don't understand the link

"Women don't play games, see? You guys are only making up the myth to castrate me personally!"

shouldn't the argument be for proportional representation then? because otherwise the result is alienating that portion of people (tho tbf thats the goal of a lot of them)

 

[Vazra]

Misogynists and low key sexists gonna be misogynists and low key sexists I guess.

I mean no one is forcing them to buy the games that have content that they dont care about and their titty games or bald space marines will continue to exist. They are getting their man panties caught in a bunch by an imaginary boogieman.

shouldn't the argument be for proportional representation then? because otherwise the result is alienating that portion of people (tho tbf thats the goal of a lot of them)

It should be that but some people like to twist things to what they want instead of something fair for everyone? It's weird cause for most of the part they wont be affected by it and those games will continue to exist but giving more content that might appeal to other markets that don't get much of a chance.

real joy is harder to attain than the inevitability of pain and suffering.

pain = guaranteed

joy = a roll of the dice

How is it selfish to deny your future child something when your future child doesn't exist? It's not like there's some little kid waiting on the bench for you to nut and allow them to burst into this world.

Fuck those people.

I just really dont' get the jump to the extreme viewpoint. that women should be 40% in games is pushing it as it is since of the general population of potential gamers, more than 50% are women so the market should be working to bridge that gap

PM me if you guys actually don't know anything about GG.

oh i know all about them

Oh...ok.

I'm just regressive.

It's an awful chart too. 41% to 59% isn't a big disparity.

I dont get it either but that seems how some people work. There must be more work to add more in. There can be stuff to appeal female gamers, different ethnicity and even the LGBT community. Is not really that all those things will be pushed in all games but representation and giving people options doesnt hurt anyone. Also that brings me to the people who can't play games with female leads cause they can't relate but they can relate to a bald dude shooting Aliens or Kratos killing gods and other shit. People create some things to validate their views when sometimes is just ok to let things branch out.

Gaming as it is now in terms of the games out there now can co-exist with other games that appeal to different markets and some with the way they are can even implement more things without affecting the core game and pushing things towards the gamers. It's quite selfish of people wanting just the thing they like to exist when there is a whole lot of people they can get with the products out there.

LOL exactly

Not my premise. I'm looking at it from the point of view if we're weighting our decision about birthing a child entirely on whether it's fair to the child to have to exist.

real joy is harder to attain than the inevitability of pain and suffering.

pain = guaranteed

joy = a roll of the dice

This is raw projectin'!

Most people I know are glad they exist, even people going through hard times. And it's not like I was born into any paradise either. I live in fuckin Ohio. I come from nothing.

and by the way for some reason I read that as pain = girlfriend .. my eyes aint so good atm

I'm not in a pessimistic vibe, this is actually my way of thinking.
non-existence is always safer than existing. and your potential child can't be denyed of something if it's not even born yet. like I said, you can't know for sure if your kid will be happy you brought him/her here so why gamble? because society and your loins would be happy if you did. and that's why people do it.

I was going to do a "even men don't necessarily want the things they assume every man wants" I mean I guess I can but I used to back it up by using myself as an example and that doesn't really work anymore

You can use it on me, Mom. (Sign the paper work and get me tons of steam games)

 

[Deleted member 10571]

No, nothing like that. It's complicated to explain and personal, but I have my reasons. I will probably pop in from time to time to see how y'all doing but, yeah.

Alrighty, thanks for clearing that up If you need someone to talk/vent feel free to pm.

Almost weekend. Yay.

So Megadeth are playing behind my house next week

Cutter park is literally on the other side of my backyard fence. I can see it from my balcony.

This is weird.

Irony is people not seeing the inherent sexism when using this or images like this one to explain why women shouldn't be in games.

I don't see the logic of that. It's a statistic, not a requirement.

My college GPA ended up being 3.49/4.00

There was a professor that messed up my grades the 4 times I had his classes. Otherwise I could end up in the honor roll. (3.50 for honor student kinda pissed me off by my 3.49)

As for attributes my smile and eyebrows are flawless 💅🏽

Ridley needs to wait until Star Wars is well and truly finished before she jumps to another franchise anyway. Great actress, but not the one we need right now.
