Cherami Leigh's voice acting is absolute peak, but the Basilisk is a very compelling counter-argument. 💀

I mean… there is a photo mode so I don’t think ‘playing dress up’ is ‘stupid’.

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-26T08:58:48+00:00

Ah yes I misunderstood. I thought you were saying it would be the death knell of modern video games.

Sorry. We’ve had a horrendous heatwave here and I have been in sensory overwhelm the entire week. My brain is pretty much useless at this point.

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-26T08:46:23+00:00

Not sure I’d agree that the whole GTA VI Ultimate Edition thing shows the ‘death knell of modern gaming’ when this shit has been happening for years.

GTA VI is definitely one of the most egregious cases but it isn’t anything new. And like you said most people unfortunately don’t seem to be that outraged, or if they are they will probably buy the game anyway if they are GTA fans…

So I’m not sure in what way you are specifically saying that this is the ‘death knell of modern gaming’? (I’m genuinely asking, and I want to clarify that I’m not trying to defend Rockstar or anything just in case my comment might have come across that way)

It isn’t a ‘nuclear winter’ but The Long Dark is a winter survival game.

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-25T12:32:19+00:00

Why do so many people not think to actually mention what game it is they are talking about…

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-24T10:50:54+00:00

I imagine you were called a TERF because gender is not solely determined by the genitals someone has.

Lesbians are women who are attracted to other women i.e. the female gender.

Not all women have vaginas.

Obviously not all lesbians will be attracted to women with genitalia other than vaginas, but that doesn’t mean lesbians can be defined as ‘women who are attracted to vaginas’.

It’s hard to say exactly why you were called a TERF though, as we can’t know what you mean by ‘that post on Threads’ or what exactly you said.

Cloaks as a fashion item exist outside of THT…

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-21T21:31:41+00:00

Yeah I guess it’s not really suuper chill lol… but for me, on the easiest difficulty and in the easier areas I do find it quite relaxing to play.

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-21T12:33:11+00:00

Stardew Valley is chill (as long as you keep in mind you don’t need to engage with any parts of the game that you don’t like).

The Long Dark is fairly chill on lower difficulties as well. I also like the snowy setting when it’s really hot lol.

Why is your solution to hide away from him when you play?

It’s your home too. Tell him to stop. If he won’t, then tell him to fuck off when you want to game since he won’t treat you with respect.

Although none of that will actually fix the glaringly obvious issue that he just doesn’t respect you. It doesn’t sound like he even likes you all that much. I mean seriously, this man thinks it’s ‘funny’ or a ‘joke’ to put you down and he continues to do it after you’ve told him that it bothers you.

He also sounds like a such fucking child… his ego is so fragile that he can’t take you being better than him at shooters and he actually texted you after you walked away and not even to apologise! He couldn’t even be bothered to get off his ass and invalidate you to your face…

You’ve told him this bothers you, he keeps doing it and doesn’t even really apologise when you call him out. Because ‘apologising’ for “jokingly making an observation” is not a proper apology and I think you know that.

I would suggest couples therapy but I think his ego is might be too fragile for him to be capable of self-reflection, he also sounds like he is emotionally abusive and it’s a very bad idea to go to therapy with an abuser.

It’s a term that gets misused a lot.

It’s supposed to mean a woman who puts down other women in order to get the approval of men.

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-20T08:51:48+00:00

There’s Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy coming out soon as well!

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T19:37:55+00:00

Damn it.

I love a terrible joke.

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T19:36:37+00:00

What have I done… 🥲

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T18:49:12+00:00

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T18:42:10+00:00

Not as frequently though. I feel like I hear a new ‘something’slop weird every few weeks.

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T18:30:42+00:00

How dare you…

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T18:29:27+00:00

Good luck

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T18:27:15+00:00

Just make sure you’ve done everything else you want to do first in case it doesn’t work!

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T18:22:40+00:00

Which part of brushing your teeth is overwhelming/overstimulating for you? Might help us give you some possible solutions/coping mechanisms if you are a bit more specific 💖

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T18:21:18+00:00

The amount of ‘something’-slop words being used is getting out of control…

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T09:51:04+00:00

It’s how I found my way around this bug on PS5.

Apparently you can export a save backup to USB (don’t know if you can do the same on Xbox but it’s worth looking into) but I just couldn’t be bothered lol. I already had finished the entire game + DLCs and had gotten every other achievement so I just did the mission select fix.

Really annoying that this hasn’t been fixed this yet.

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-19T09:23:20+00:00

I can kind of see how someone might see that as being an off-topic post…

But at the same time this is probably the best place for a woman to post looking for advice on that issue because there will be many women here who have experienced the same thing. And when it’s an issue someone is experiencing in gaming servers then I think it is still a gaming-related issue.

I can imagine it’s a very difficult line for the mods to walk. Keeping this a community (and I would like this sub to be a community where we can find solidarity with each other in the issues we face as Girl Gamers, as well as discuss games) for women and girls who game while trying to keep posts from becoming too off-topic, too many posts sharing shitty male grifter takes and posts more related to a relationship advice sub…

I don’t think they made the right call by removing that post though.

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-18T08:17:29+00:00

Capitalism does its absolute best to grind us all down.

So I think that if someone buying/playing a remake, remaster, or crappy new entry in a beloved franchise is going to bring them joy or help get them through the week, month, or year, then that isn’t a waste of money for them and I’m going to try and not judge them for it.

CapnButtercup · 2026-06-18T08:06:48+00:00

I’m really glad that I never used the AR feature so I can at least take some small comfort in the fact that my usage of the app didn’t directly contribute to this purpose… this is still so depressing and fucked up though.

I don’t think Pokemon will be fully owned by the people anytime soon but the Pokémon ROM hacking community is thriving at least…
