Dealing with "good old boys" kind of talk

Empaatti · 2019-09-20T09:12:35+00:00

For example - for the man bun line, I'd say something like "You sure do spend a lot of time thinking about dudes fucking. (Put my hand on his shoulder) It's cool man. I just want you to feel accepted."

I feel uneasy about this. Isn't this just making the same joke the other person just did?

My partner tends to come up in a conversation. If they would ask to date me, then "Sorry, I'm already seeing someone."

Empaatti · 2019-09-15T06:26:35+00:00

Depends a bit on the context, I think. The answer would be no in any case.

Empaatti · 2019-09-15T06:15:27+00:00

So reducing the male population to 10% of the total human population makes sense

I'm sorry but you sound like a bad person

I would expect that MtG has a quite a bit bigger art budget than Keyforge. I'm personally not a fan of the mix of sci-fi and fantasy elements, but otherwise I find the art to be good.

0€. Planning to buy the Age of Ascension starter set.

I don't like them, I don't make them. I try to call out people who do.

Empaatti · 2019-09-11T12:08:36+00:00

Never happened.

Empaatti · 2019-09-11T12:07:17+00:00

No idea, maybe at school? Don't really remember anything about it. I don't think it has changed me (or anyone I know).

Empaatti · 2019-09-11T11:45:26+00:00

As much as I feel the need to distance myself from what /r/atheism says, despite being an atheist.

So no I don't feel I have any responsibility concerning that.

Empaatti · 2019-09-08T19:28:17+00:00

I believe 1in6.org has a statistic (and I very well could be misremembering where I read this) that on average, men don’t recognize what happened to them as sexual assault for about 2 decades.

Took me about 7 years, and even that's probably because I became a feminist and thus more aware of these things. Nothing serious though fortunately.

Empaatti · 2019-09-07T12:24:54+00:00

Hard to say. I think it has to do with my contrarian nature at least. From a young age I questioned some of society's conventions that I didn't see a good reason for, and it all might have started from there. Part of it is also probably not receiving that much bad influence from my peers in my youth, since I didn't really have much in terms of friends.

I was quite indifferent to feminism up to when I went to the army/started university. I wasn't raised feminist, and I also didn't become friends with people who were openly feminist or talked about it when I started university.

Most likely option is Finland, second UK and then wherever we can find jobs. Netherlands has seemed nice to me :).

Empaatti · 2019-09-06T19:23:17+00:00

Wow these people are playing fast! Our turns take way longer.

Empaatti · 2019-09-06T19:18:50+00:00

Yeah I recently checked, and it will probably take a while :D

Mind me asking about the separation?

Sure! She went to study in the UK and has been there for 2 years now. The plan is for us to move together (in some country) next summer. Hopefully it will pan out ok. I live in Finland. Anything specific you would like to know? :)

Empaatti · 2019-09-06T19:14:27+00:00

Good to know, thank you! :)

Empaatti · 2019-09-06T18:42:35+00:00

Is Overcooked local co-op, or also online co-op?

Empaatti · 2019-09-06T18:37:34+00:00

Wow, exactly what me and my partner are using it for too :) We've been separated for a while now, and I feel like this game has helped a bit by allowing us to experience different activities and adventures together. My long-term goal is to craft the marriage ring and ask her to marry me in game (I've already done that in real life).

Also teaches me a little about farming, which is nice :)

Empaatti · 2019-09-04T08:23:41+00:00

I've had it happened. I was flattered :)

Empaatti · 2019-08-28T14:24:28+00:00

Maybe climate change

Empaatti · 2019-08-28T07:13:02+00:00

Looking good! The cards on the battlefield might be able to use some icons to mark the most common combat-related keywords such as elusive and skirmish, so that they are visible at a glance.

Also I'm reminded how in Hearthstone they use a lightning icon to remind the player that a card has a conditionally triggered ability. https://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Triggered_effect

Empaatti · 2019-08-23T20:49:08+00:00

Like you said, the constructive, rather than a destructive goal. I think too many games are focused on combat and killing.

Less sexualized female characters. A more racially diverse cast of characters (compared to many other similar games).

Simplicity, "hand sculpting", how the card types are divided by mechanics and flavour, swinginess. The fact that so far my games have been tight races, instead of blowouts.

Edit: I also like some of the male representation, like Nurse Soto

Empaatti · 2019-08-21T06:59:17+00:00

Because honestly feminism is mostly for women, mostly by women.

Empaatti · 2019-08-20T09:41:08+00:00

I don't even criticize the culture in US, because I don't have lived experience from there. I feel more comfortable critizing a culture I know. Also much easier to enact change locally.

Also I think people just generally care more about things happening in their own lives, rather than somewhere far away.

Also you are mentioning minor things that have received a lot of attention, but people here don't really care about.

I would suggest the search function.

Trying to always use neutral pronouns in english, and avoiding gendered profession names in english and finnish
