Alien (1979)

like its a scifi horror movie with incredible effects work (i love the xenomorph soso much!), and it just makes really good use of like sexual horror, like the alien itself is designed by H.R. Giger, so there’s gonna be some horniness to it, but like its just a really well put together movie ^_^

For the Love of Everything, Please Keep 3-6 Months Worth of Money for an Emergency Fund (If You Can)

I left my job about two months ago, and I applied for unemployment immediately. I got a new job today, but I STILL haven’t gotten my unemployment decision. Additionally, my food stamp application was delayed due to personal circumstances. In short, had I not had money saved for an emergency, I would have been mega-screwed....

like i usually hate the whole, “buy a 2tb ssd, its only like $60” line. like to a lot of people that isn’t something you can just drop casually for a video game (especially on top of the price of the game itself!) but I don’t really think thats the perspective this writer is coming from.

@sludge@beehaw.org avatar

whether or not games were ever like that isn’t actually relevent to the point they made, also tons of unfinished games are basically already sold as complete.

sludge,
@sludge@beehaw.org avatar

bad, what could possibly justify someone being arrested over something like this? and the only one who could “deny pay” is the bosses anyway, game devs don’t get any sort of cut from profits.

sludge,
@sludge@beehaw.org avatar

like, the game industry is incredibly exploitative, even if piracy does causes direct harm to it, thats honestly a good thing, it is set up to benefit publishers and share-holders over anyone else, especially the people actually making the games. supporting the end of that isn’t “hippy-dippy”

sludge,
@sludge@beehaw.org avatar

like how much variety in body shapes does the game have? like coming from a transfem perspective i find the all too common “coventionally attractive cis woman” bodytype with penis stapled on to be pretty boring. otherwise i think it seems neat ^_^

sludge,
@sludge@beehaw.org avatar

so like presentation does not equal gender or whatevs, but like trying new stuff out can help you understand yourself and what you really want! trying new clothes or makeup, different pronouns. see what sticks. being trans/nb is a pretty wide range of experiences, and its ok if yrs don’t match up to others

sludge,
@sludge@beehaw.org avatar

like looking at some of yr other responses in this thread it seems like yr feeling dysphoric? like thats not something that cis people really do.

sludge,
@sludge@beehaw.org avatar

oh, elsewhere in this thread you said “Not a fan of my body it feels too manly”. like thats just describing dysphoria. like gender dysphoria could be described as a sense of discomfort with how, for example, your body looks or is percieved or gendered by others.

so like a lot of people will suggest a desktop pc, and if thats feasible for u i would go for it, they just tend to have less issues in general and r easier to troubleshoot. i don’t know much about steam deck but it seems pretty neat and def costs way less than a gaming laptop. also those games don’t seem all that intensive to run? the freezing probs isn’t a hardware issue.

like i can def think of plenty of exceptions, but most games work great with an xbox or dualshock controller, and you can even get a dinky little controller for yr phone on ebay for like $12

its def not stupid, legit sources are super inconvenient, like i forget account passwords all the time, and steam makes sharing yr games for multiplayer really hard. way easier to just go download a cracked copy

the gaming space has changed a lot! there is more money pumped into it than ever before and little room for experimention in AAA titles. but the indie scene is enormous now and there are still tons of older mainstream games to play. no need to play pointless time sinks.

omg i had pretty much the same experience with TotK, not only were the maps huge but the animations and cutscenes took waaaaay too long.

How do you tell gender envy from attraction?

I am currently on vacation and going to the beach sucks because I see these girls my age and think “Holy shit, I want to look like that.” But then I get heavy impostor syndrome. Maybe this is just me being attracted and wanting to be trans, so my brain makes it think it’s envious when it’s just attracted? So, how do you...

sludge,
@sludge@beehaw.org avatar

so like its entirely possible for it to both, but, from the way you phrased it as “wanting to be trans” it seems like your questioning things rn? i just want to mention that being trans is an option, you can do that if you want.

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

is there any indication that microsoft intends to clean house?

@sludge@beehaw.org avatar

so like, i also had a very christian upbringing, tho i moved past a lot (not all! it took work to shed all that garbage) of those teachings on gender and sexuality thru coming to terms with being trans. like, living without the burden of christian morality and guilt is incredibly freeing.

bringing this around to pda. i also used to find it off-putting, but it really isn’t about you, its ok for human beings to be affectionate with each other, and this is usually only applied to gay people anyway, are you uncomfortable when you see someone hug their grandparents at the airport?

also, a lot of humans are sexual beings, like there really is no reason to object to people being open about their orientation that isn’t based in religious bullshit.

French Courts Are Giving Protesters INSANE Sentences (www.youtube.com)

I am cognizant that in this kind of space a lot of people probably won’t hold this view of intellectual property and there are good arguments as to why it shouldn’t exist at all. I suppose at this moment I’m not really in the mood to go down this rabbit hole, so forgive me if that is where you want to go.

fair, although i do think its a much more interesting topic :p also you are def correct about the storefront thing, ill never understand why gamers are so in love with steam -_-

CW HOMOPHOBIA: My mother said I was too young to be gay, and now I don't have the motivation to come out again.

Hello, The 4 people in my family who I was considering telling my truth have previously shown acceptance of LGBTQ+ people. They are my mother, father, grandpa (mother’s side, probably the most vocal ally I know), grandma (father’s side). I recently came out to my mother. She stated that I was too young to be gay, too young...

sludge,
@sludge@beehaw.org avatar

it seems like your mother has some homophobia she hasn’t dealt with, a lot of “allies” will show their true colors when it comes to children. she might come around but not if you go back in the closet, the most important thing is your safety tho.

Gaming often fetishises the new but many great things exist in the past, so let's strap into our time machines and talk about our favourite games released before say 2010?

Just as with books, movies, plays etc the past holds a treasure trove of amazing experiences. Unless you have a lot more free time than I do it’s unlikely you’ve played anywhere near the majority of the classics. Let’s get out those pink sunnies and compare notes on some of our favourite releases....

Mischief Makers for n64! its a puzzle platformer by treasure, its controls are a little unintiutive at first, but the games grappling/boost mechanics are so much fun once you get it down.

ah, ok, i will simply not watch youtube videos.

Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. (kbin.social)

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....

horseshoe theory and the political compass are both kinda silly tho, left and right are more like collections of allied ideologies than a precise value that can be placed on a graph or spectrum.
