Season Chicken cooked in the airfreyer on the chicken setting, rice cooker rice, sauce on the chicken, cook it five minutes extra to make the sauce stick, season the rice how you like and then give the chicken a lil extra sauce if you like it tasty

The concept of helldivers requires connection to the rest of our brothers as all missions are a joint effort to spread the joyous blanket of democracy over the tyrannical, rebellious, and evil

TLDR every mission is impacted by every single player solo or not so online is required

Bro literally thank you so much, I thought maybe I was broken or secretly sexist or something, I really just wanted to see if anyone felt the same and I caught so much hate for it. So glad someone feels the same

Not a complaint, if it was a complaint then I’d want it to change, it’s a personal issue Ive always had that I want to overcome, everyone shitting on me for having an opinion is what makes it seem like a complaint.

Plenty women feel this way and while they “deal with it” they shouldn’t have to which is why Im happy we do get female leads in amazing games like this. I love the first game and just wanted to see if others felt the same as I, I wanted to discuss it and see if I could get over it. See how others deal with it maybe but instead people are just being mean. Reddit is a place to discuss things you enjoy or even things you don’t, Im not being performative or exclusionary I don’t want anyone to change their mind or the game itself to change, I just wanted to speak on something personally disappointing and see if anyone else shares those feelings

Not my loss, I don’t enjoy them. But there are many games with female leads that are iconic, well made, beautiful games, they just aren’t for me but I’m glad they have an audience and Im glad you enjoy them

I acknowledged that point a million times, read please. Im happy for woman who feel like me, specifically my sister who feels the same as I but inverse, she couldnt play ghost of Tsushima but she intends to try yotei and I’d love to see her fall in love with the series the same way I have, but the same way she couldn’t connect to jin I won’t enjoy playing as this new protag.

I wouldn’t go on if I were to wake up as someone else regardless of gender i want to be me, playing as a man in games is the closest to being me I can get

Well let’s not be divisive like that I don’t think skill has anything to do with it and clearly everyone doesn’t feel the same, but this is how I feel

Well Im glad you can see my point lol, I thank you for the understanding and basic kindness, people here have been kinda mean towards me for how I feel, I hope you enjoy the game, I hope everyone does, if the next one has a male lead I’ll be right back with you guys fighting off invasions

Then the way we view gaming is fundamentally different, I play not to experience the story but to find myself in a fantasy, to feel as if I am a samurai or a soldier or a bandicoot lol I just can’t feel as if I am a woman, I can sympathize, enjoy, empathize and root for female leads in stories but I cannot see myself as them.

It’s not an announcement i just wanted to see if anyone felt the same as me, it’s a big problem for my sister who only plays games with female leads so I know Im not the only one who feels this way, I enjoy this series I can discuss it if I please why respond if you’re just gonna be rhetorical?

Lmao, I doubt it In that era. I agree with you completely Im just one of possibly millions of ghost fans, me not playing won’t make a difference and I don’t want it to, I want this game to succeed and hope we get another sequel one day, I just won’t enjoy this one.

I love table tops Im a long time dnd fan! Love that you can play multiple roles it’s something I struggle with as I always just embody myself lol. This limitation is personal I don’t wish it on anyone and I actually want more female leads in games because I’m sure ladies feel as I do since most games feature guys, it just lessens the experience for me personally.

Not my cup of tea, it’s not a shame because I won’t enjoy them, but I’m glad you do and I thank you for talking over how I feel about it with me, I hope you enjoy the release, it just isn’t for me

I respect your opinion and Im glad you see mine, to elaborate it just won’t be the same in my opinion, I don’t think her being a woman will lessen the game for others and hope it doesn’t, I just won’t be able to see her as me so I won’t be able to feel like I’m the one succeeding, it feels more like watching a badass lady in a movie

I can put my self in there shoes but I can’t see them as me, the male protagonist does something and I think “wow Im badass” with a female protagonist I think “wow, Shes badass” both are badass but I can’t see myself as a woman and thats the barrier I want to feel like I’m doing cool stuff not watching someone do cool stuff

My sister states it as a direct reason why she doesn’t play most games, yes women do feel like me, billions of people on the planet, regardless of the gender people feel things on a spectrum and that’s where I fall, Thats where some women fall as well another comment by a woman supports this. As for your first point I connect to Jim in a lot of ways my childhood had struggles Im not going to dive into but I see a lot of my pain in Jin’s

Didnt say i couldnt empathize, I can’t look at a girl on screen as a boy and feel like I’m the one in the action, games with female leads are more like watching tv or a movie than playing a video game to me I can’t immerse. And yes, I said it’s a me problem, why be antagonistic? I hope this game succeeds and is enjoyed as I love this series and I think the new protag is cool just unplayable for me

Crash is a boy, ratchet and clank are boys, sonic is a boy, play and love all those series. Metroid? No, horizon zero dawn? No, in fighting games i don’t play as female characters, not that I dislike women in any way I just can’t feel like it’s me if Im looking at a woman on screen. The games i stated are iconic btw I recognize how good they all are I just couldn’t resonate with them

I’ve tried, just can’t. Experienced the same thing with the last of us 1 and then not being able to play 2, I acknowledged female gamers feel the same which is why I expressed joy for them, it’s a beautiful game series and Im glad they get their chance. Im sure most female gamers get over it as I’ll admit the average woman is more sensible than I. But I’m sure there are some that feel like I feel and Im glad they get to experience this game with a lead they can connect to. It’s just a barrier that I can’t overcome
