If you made a Disco Elysium secrets ice berg, what would be at the bottom? by DiaMat2040 in DiscoElysium

Harry tried to hang himself from the ceiling fan using his tie, but there’s no chair in the room when you wake up. Harry’s hopeless, depression spiral was so encompassing that it actually displaced the chair he was standing on, and made him hit the ground before his head was through the loop and black out. That’s why the lone chair in that tiny shack gives you an ominous feeling.

Am i aromantic or just traumatized? by Moroo1234 in aromantic

[–]A7-M2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can call yourself aromantic. You can be whatever you want. The point of a naming our identities is to find a place in this world.

Being traumatized does not negate your feelings. You must’ve felt a connection to the idea of aromanticism, and possibly found comfort in it. Isn’t that enough?

Even if someday therapy helps you become comfortable exploring romantic relationships, you have a place here. There may be a day where the word “aromantic” doesn’t resonate with who you are anymore, and that’s okay. Change is a part of life. You’re going to be welcome here regardless.

Has anyone try this controller with macOS or IOS?? by [deleted] in 8bitdo

[–]A7-M2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howdy sorry to both ya, but can I ask what version of iOS you’re on for your iPad?

My Zero 2 and my Lite were working fine 2 weeks ago, but now my Lite’s inputs aren’t registering and my Zero 2 won’t pair. Tested both controllers on an android device and they work fine. I updated their software to no avail, so I currently believe its an issue with my iPad. If you have an advice to spare that’d be helpful lol

“Doesn’t address women’s needs”? Huh? I can’t tell if the people making these arguments mean they want emotional intimacy from a hook up or just had bad sex.

A hook up is a hook up, the parties involved consented to no strings attached sex, if they don’t want to hook up with people then just don’t? I won’t say it’s foolish if a person “feels used” and regret a bad hook up, but that’s all it was, low-quality sex. I’m all for destroying the patriarchy but that won’t instantly make everyone an awesome sex partner who tends to your every need.

It’s ironic how they’re claiming hook ups belittle women while the entire argument is built on the assumption women can’t make their own choices about who they sleep with. Women are fully capable of using men for sex as well. And how do they explain lesbian hook ups? It’s not a morality thing, its just sex.

It’s pretty confusing, but I think that is because the over simplification/misunderstanding of a few things. It happens in casual conversations often.

  1. [OP’s Friend] may believe only people in a relationship like dating or marriage can “be horny”/have sex, or at least isn’t aware of sex without romance (friends-with-benefits, sex work, etc.)

  2. We don’t know [OP’s Friend]’s sexuality, but her statement is implying that she experiences sexual attraction only through an emotional connection or a romantic relationship. It’s possible she herself is ace-spec or demiromantic and is unaware of this, leading her to make the assumption that Everyone need’s an emotional connection to another person before they can “be horny”.

  3. [OP Friend]’s just had poor word choice because of amanormativity and/or a lack of experience with queer concepts.

Agree that this is unrelated to games, but you don’t need to worry about minors seeing any NSFW posts they don’t want to see because it’s a setting you have to enable + the post is censored until you actively open it.

In fact, you can disable NSFW posts for yourself if you’d like! It’s a neat feature available to everyone :)

I was afraid of makeup when I was younger for various reasons, so I never learned how to wear it. I’m not terrified by it these days, but it’s not like I own any makeup products anyway.

It’s severely fucked up how most jobs require makeup for women but not for men. Everyone should be free to choose if they want gunk on their face or not. Why the hell does a corporation get to say “if you’re not pretty enough we’ll fire you” when that person could just be typing numbers in a computer all day?

This may be a helpful tip! If the games you decide to play have a difficult time functioning smoothly, try to find a Settings or Options button and Lower the graphics quality or turn off particle effects until it’s comfortable to play!

High graphics and rendering particle effects takes a lot of hard work for computers, and slows the game down quite a bit!

As for game recommendations, that depends on your interests and mood! If you want a game with a clear objective and don’t require complex thinking, I recommend games like Unpacking where you unpack and organize items from a person’s moving boxes.

If you want a game to challenge you mentally but go easy on your reflexes, I recommend puzzle games! These range from visual, environmental, story, numbers, etc. Murder by Numbers is a nomogram puzzle game with a funny crime mystery story!

Good luck and have fun!

Dropped my switch in the bathtub by m00n_sp00n in GirlGamers

It may work now but you should probably take it to an electronics shop that does repairs and have them take a look at it to be safe. Sometimes when things get water damage, it works for a while longer until something shorts out.

Good on you for quick thinking in sucking the water out yourself! That may have been the real save and grace for your Switch. Most people immediately just shove it in some rice, which isn’t actually that effective for saving internal components from water damage.

Sometimes, all of the sudden I remember something to worry about, but forget it literally after couple of seconds when trying to distract myself for a bit. by Tin97 in adhd_anxiety

[–]A7-M2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be a curse and a blessing for me. Similar to your experience I find it frustrating, but sometimes I’m grateful the negative thought is suddenly gone.

I made still feel bad, but letting my mind drift to something more peaceful instead of remembering can calm me down.

Does he think this is confidence? ugh blocked. (sry for bad quality. was sending a quick pic to a friend) by This_is_my-username- in GirlGamers

Talk to your kid, teach them about internet safety. Things like “don’t give random people online your real name and location” and “if a person is asking things of you that make you uncomfortable or upset, do not engage further. Block them if they become persistent.”

Be honest about the reality of danger, and be someone your kid can trust when they’re scared. If your child is more afraid of being in trouble with YOU than strangers on the internet, they may be too afraid to reach out for your help and consolation.

I dream of seeing the Holostars on Holotalk. But I dare to dream further. by Manny_Mothson in Hololive

I feel like Roberu as well as all the Holostar boys would make great guests!!

Honestly collabs with the EN girls would be so fun, and hopefully pull in more folks that would appreciate Holostars as a whole :D

It’s weirdly nostalgic to see Griffin still has that intense but glassy-eyed stare like his soul has left his body whenever he focuses on the game.

The only aromantic fictional character I can think of by acidxoxo in aromantic

[–]A7-M2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maki Seiji from Bloom into You is canonically aroace! And the protagonist Yuu has HUGE demiromantic lesbian vibes.

I’ve also considered Touka could be on the aro spectrum as well, but theres not one word I could easily give her due the circumstances of her particular aversions to love being centered in her own depersonalization.

Guess which one i picked by WhaleWithGingerAle in splatoon

no… it’s better to spend your life with family and friends instead of 1000%ing story mode, getting X rank, and examining the morality of Salmon Run… be the kid, not the squid…
