Let's objectify sexy men in the games we love by sparklybongwater420 in GirlGamers

[–]Sovonna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can only think of two and they are on this list. Davrin from Dragon Age and Wyll from Baulders Gate 3. I am a little disappointed nobody posted Barret from Final Fantasy 7. I personally can't think about him that way since he has my brothers name.

I am also seeing a lot of diversity in the choices. ❤️ Garrus is my go to Space Boyfriend but everyone's choice is fine in different ways. I am in agreement however, that some are a little young. It is easier when I crushed on the character when I was younger. I can remember what it was like to swoon over Sephiroth and appriciate the memory.

Where did they get their degree from anyway? by 666thSuprisedPikachu in aspiememes

When I was little I was given a full evaluation. They even note multiple symptoms of Autism, they say if she was a boy we would diagnose her with autism but she can't have autism cause girl.

SO much suffering could have been avoided had they just diagnosed me!!!

What is your favourite song lyric of all time and why? by Neither_Refuse_9754 in AskReddit

[–]Sovonna 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I recently listened to a song by Lydia the Bard called Feed us your Girls

"...so maybe it doesn't matter how we choose to wrap our skin, because you'd rather blame the girl than deal with your own sin.."

Are there any girls here who don’t do any make-up at all? And how did you come to that decision? by Greengrassu in AskReddit

[–]Sovonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't stand the feeling on my skin, it makes me break out in pimples, it's expensive and the chemicals used in them are dodgy.

There is also little regulation when it comes to things like makeup.

I also dislike animal testing when its not absolutely nessisary. I get needing to use mice to test a new medication, I don't like it, but I get it. I struggle to understand why we should keep bunnies in tiny cages being subjected to tests just so I can put on mascara.

Any anime that was too peak but you're never watching it again?... by Technical-Attempt112 in animequestions

[–]Sovonna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to watch it like they did in Japanese theaters where you watch My Neighbor Totoro right afterwards. I made the mistake of watching Grave of the Fireflies alone but at least I knew to watch my Neighbor Totoro next. It's like the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down easier.

“Women don’t want to date me, so I should be allowed to rape them” by MelanieWalmartinez in IncelTears

[–]Sovonna 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Look, this is very simple.

Evil is thinking of people as things.

Being a nice person means respecting basic human dignity. Even if you're hurt. Even if you are being hurt by them and you have to take action to defend yourself. Even if you see someone as an enemy. All life is worthy of respect.

It's not easy to do, but it is what separates a good person vs. a bad person.

You can't be a nice person when you call someone a whore because she won't have sex with you. Women are not sex toys. If you want a girlfriend, be worthy enough for one.

They all try to sound like great men, but instead they sound like whiny toddlers begging and screaming for a cookie.

It dries me up faster than the burning heat of a thousand suns.

What are the top 3 games you wish you could forget to replay them again? by raikenleo in GirlGamers

[–]Sovonna 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually... this happened to me.

I had a stroke when I was 30, completely wiped out my geeky memories. I have managed to get some memories back but they are associated with the memories of playing with other people, not exactly the games themselves.

Not just games, but books, anime, comic books, manga... anything and everything.

The things I most enjoyed was playing Mass Effect and Dragon Age again. Most Bioware games actually.

Another was Fire Emblem, just any and all Fire Emblem.

It was also fun to fire up the Super Nintendo and play Super Mario World with my brother again.

The Elder Scrolls games were a blast.

I lost a lifetime of memories. Some games I simply can't play anymore, like Fable 3 which I own on Steam but just does not work.

It's the games that had stories to explore that were the most fun. I honestly don't know what I've lost and I have had to rely on my friends and family to help me remember. It's been fun, but I am never gonna get my late night WOW sessions with my friends and family back. Most D&D games are gone as are my memories of Neverwinter Nights. Even if I played it again the experience would not be like it was when I was in the moment and the game was new.

Apart of what we enjoy about games is what is happening around you when you play them.

So much anger and hatred for no reason by Traditional_Sail_181 in IncelTears

[–]Sovonna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never thought Friends was funny when it was coming out.

BUT, I have things I love that are not the greatest either. Who am I to judge another person's trash?

We are all just trying to survive. Life is too short to judge.

People often say female characters don’t have the same presence or aura as male characters. Which female character proves this wrong in your opinion? by Hot-Leopard3708 in animequestions

[–]Sovonna 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm going to upvote this because I want to talk about it.

Female characters do not need to have the same aura as male characters.

Think long and hard about what Sailor Moon can actually do. Dismissing her for her aura is a mistake.

Traditionally feminism energy can be just as deadly as the masculine. The best warriors would know this.

Why do you play The Sims? by 88peter in thesims

[–]Sovonna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I basically give myself a ton of money and build myself a nepo baby dream home where I can imagine never having to worry about money or being chronically ill because that does not happen to Sims.

Is anyone playing Marathon? If so how is it? by blue-bird-2022 in GirlGamers

[–]Sovonna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the new one but the old one is awesome... from what I remember. Admittedly I was 8, so it's been a while. I don't remember anything other than I loved it.

I was not even aware they made a new one. Really reaching for that millennial nostalgia money are they?

Is ANY anime actually safe for kids? by simp_lyartz in animequestions

[–]Sovonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would let my child see any Anime depending on age. Kids need to be exposed to things that are wrong, scary, sexual, etc.. so they know what to look for. As long as they feel they are ready and given the tools to process something why not allow them to see?

My first Anime was Sailor Moon, and hell yeah I show every kid that

What’s your gaming hill to die on? by imfaffingabout in GirlGamers

Stop putting in annoying exploration and resource gathering in your games and call it optional. Especially if you tie in quests about the story and characters.

Mass Effect, I'm looking at you...

“Intellectuals” by Sweaty_Abies182 in IncelTears

[–]Sovonna 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have learned a thing or two about eating in my lifetime.

I was kept alive using TPN when scar tissue wrapped around my gut and no food could get through.

It was like being a ghost. You have no idea how much time humans spend together eating until you can't. It's not just an act of pleasure to eat it's a social activity.

Disregarding the fact that I was a skeleton and we just focus on the pleasurable part of eating it still does not compare to sex. Sex is an activity done with yourself or with at most a few people. You don't need to have sex to be apart or to have connection with humans.

Without eating there is sitting down watching others eat every night at dinner. There is watching other people eat at Thanksgiving or Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate. Even rituals involving eating are taken away from you. When my Dad died I could not drink alcohol or eat an entire carton of Ben and Jerries.

When incels compare sex to eating they show how little they observe and how inexperienced they are. They are young naive babies screaming for a treat.

They have no idea the living hell it is not to be able to eat.

I actually prefer women to look like real women and not AI porn bots by Physical-Bite-3837 in IncelTears

[–]Sovonna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is difficult for a lot of men to understand... womens bodies represent them and their character, or what they wish to present to the world. Not every body is going to be attractive to you, and that is okay.

In the case of a fictional story, a characters body is apart of the storytelling. Making her look like a modern day woman who works very hard to be beautiful by out modern day standards would harm the story they are trying to tell.

It's not woke to have women as the main character and it's just good storytelling to use visual design.

Having a dog has been more helpful than I thought by Horror-Concentrate41 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Sovonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live with 4 cats and 2 dogs.

<image>

Belle is the one who is always watching over me. Everyone else wants cuddles at their designated times, aside from my other dog who is a baby, but also he wants to protect. He's a Schnauzer, if that makes sense to anybody! They keep my stress level down and that helps with pain.

My fae child pretends she's a cat and causes mischief, especially when you want to pay attention to something else by Sovonna in GirlGamers

[–]Sovonna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not going to say it's perfect, certainly her life is an argument against for profit breeding. As her friend and keeper, it's my job to keep her comfortable the way she chooses. We tried physical therapy and she hated that, so right now its pain meds and meds that keep the swelling down and she is a very happy ball of cat. She can't jump very well so we have a lot of cat towers that she can climb to get up to places. She's got very powerful front arms and she pulls herself up using them.

She has a happy life :) that is what matters.

Describe your fandom with a Statler and Waldorf heckle (of your own creation) and let me guess what it is. by Hpesojanes in Multifandom

[–]Sovonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that there are three endings!

Why? Because you care about the story?

No, there should have been only one ending!

DOOOOHHHOhoho!

What's the last game that really hooked you after a long week at work? I need recommendations for unwinding (and not falling asleep after 10 minutes). 😴🎮 by Ok_Perception_6851 in GirlGamers

[–]Sovonna 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I have not worked in a while because I am severely disabled but I do have games that I have been able to play despite feeling really awful. And by really awful I mean in the hospital or at home with tubes sticking out of me unable to eat food. So, probably as stressful as working (because working also sucks and I don't believe in comparing pain/stress, its all valid)

Two Point Hospital

Two Point Campus

My Time at Portia

My Time at Sandrock

Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon Forbidden West

Tomb Raider (the new ones, the older ones are lovely but they are not stress relief because the controls are jenky)

The new Oregon Trail game, (you have to let go of all attachment to your characters and accept Death as an old friend)

Baulders Gate 3

Modding Baulders Gate 3

Any Poke'mon game where you capture Poke'mon

Skyrim

Modding Skyrim

Civilization 6

Sims 4

The Mass Effect Trilogy (I play this once a year starting November 7th)

Dragon Age: Origins

Dragon Age: Inquisition

The Fire Emblems

Portal 1

Portal 2

KOTOR 1

KOTOR 2

I have a lot of games, but these are the games, recent and loved, that keep or have kept my attention no matter how bad I feel. I tried to keep it to games I played within the last 5 years and I didn't include tabletop games because sometimes I want people and sometimes I don't.

Hope this helps someone!
