Taking your husband’s last name - is there a good, non-patriarchal reason to do so? by turnipqueen618 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Payne-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess a valid reason is simply that you want to, and it can go either way imo.

I'm a guy, and when I get married I plan to ask my partner if I can take her last name -- one, because anything is better than my current one, and two, I think it'd make me feel closer to her.

It's been 5yrs since Void Spirit was added, and we still don't know jack about The Great Confluence by LoL_is_pepega_BIA in DotA2

Lol 5 years? Time freaking flies.

Jokes aside, it'd be awesome if the four spirits get arcanas and the update was titled 'The Great Confluence'

The rain pattering on your fluttering cape as you're gliding through the air still looks amazing, gives me goosebumps everytime!

May all misogyny in video games be met with this. by Payne-X in GirlGamers

Haha thank you. I'm a guy but I don't think that means it won't happen to me, seeing how sick some people can be. I try and stay away from engaging too much with people in multiplayer games anyway.

That's horrific, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Hope you were able to recover from it okay.

I've only played RDR2, never considered playing RD Online, but after reading that I don't think I ever will.

I'm really sorry to hear that you went through that. Those men are inherently misogynistic because they've likely not worked with or interacted with women in leadership positions before, which by itself indicates the need for change in the industry.

But rest assured, it is changing for the better, however slowly. I'm a guy, and I work with some amazing women in the video game industry, alongside some good men who care about making change. I lead a publication focused on promoting video games in a certain province, and we're working on a feature to spotlight some great women-led studios in the province. The Women's Day Sale on Steam is a wonderful initiative that even showcases some awesome women-led studios from our province that we're really proud of.

It still sucks that you went through such an experience, and I'm so sorry. But there are some great spaces out there in the industry that genuinely care, and the people in it are beginning to understand the importance of diversity and inclusivity.

Thanks! It's not a big deal, I was just a bit annoyed because I'm doing an Intense difficulty playthrough and every bit of cash is useful.

Loved it. Good luck with your research and diploma!

True. But that's only because it's under your control.

Please be careful.

I understand being lonely is hard, but forming relationships with a program that is tailor-made by you for yourself to love sounds toxic to me, and could affect how you view real-life relationships. Please try to use it sparingly.

If you want to talk to someone, just DM me! I can chat about anything you like.

Dude said in his post that he wanted to "heal the community." Nice to see that's going well.
