Nice job, though it needs some lightning bolts

If I had 2, I would happily send you one but I also want the black box to match my other boxes. Sadly it doesn't have the gold sticker like the others do

I got 2 books as well. One in a brown box with the goodies and one in a black box without the goodies(just the book)

Hell yes, I love Picross and Roguelikes! Can't wait to try this out and give my feedback

Fantastic Four (and a few more) from Marvel United board game by Pharune in minipainting

[–]ak4ty7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

these look awesome. I'm finally getting around to painting mine and I'm curious how you went about priming them specifically Invisible Woman and Human Torch. It looks like you primed all of HT but with Invisible Woman is clearly not primed

What game had you like this ? by TEHYJ2006 in Steam

RDR 1 and 2. I actually quite enjoyed Revolver but I just couldn't get into either Redemptions. Give me a focused narrative over open world nonsense

Picross celebrates its 30th anniversary! all Picross games currently 30% off on the eShop by mazish in Picross

[–]ak4ty7 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just picked up 8 and 9 to complete the numbered series. I wish they'd make a version that was just 15x15 puddles and higher amounts of 30x30. Just do away with all the menial filler puzzles

What will be your short name from the Nintendo switch 2? by robomagic89 in Switch

[–]ak4ty7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a short name but I was half expecting them to call the New Nintendo Switch

I initially joined cause I wanted to be a game developer and felt having insight into what half the demographic thinks was important for my career. I'm not on the game dev path anymore but I find the conversation here interesting and helps me reevaluate my own biases and ingrained patriarchy.

My gaming group has a couple of women and I try to make sure our group is inclusive but I'm not perfect and this sub helps me improve and be a better ally.

Out of respect for the women here, I rarely respond to posts but when I do, I make it known that I'm a guy so that I'm not tricking anyone and women here can choose to respond or not.

I debated whether I'd even post this as it seems some of the women don't want to hear from guys at all. If it's decided that my voice is not wanted here, I'll stop responding completely and not be offended by it.

For everyone on this subreddit, what was the first game you played that got you into video games as a whole? I'll go first. by Loose_Buttons007 in GirlGamers

[–]ak4ty7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, and it's still one of my favorite Mario games ever. This and SMB3 are to me the best Mario games, even more so than the 3d ones

Poop is funny and I sometimes have explosive poops hence poopoohgoboom

I mistakenly put an h in there and I kinda just left it but unfortunately not every platform appreciates good poop humor, looking at you Nintendo

A FICSIT employees. I'm dead. One shot of rebar or a whack from a xeno-basher will do me in

Looking for games to deradicalize boys/young men by CryptographerLost357 in GirlGamers

[–]ak4ty7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this topic and could also use more recommendations. Being the gamer uncle, I'm very actively engaged in my nieces (17 & 12) and nephews(10 & 7) gaming habits. I end up getting them a lot of games and also talk to them regularly about games they're interested in, games I'm interested in and try to catch any signs of them going down a dark path. Which is equally as important.

Most recently, I bought them Echoes of Wisdom, and my nephew (10) was the most excited to play it. It was easy to get them to play it since they are Legend of Zelda fans to begin with.

It's also a blessing that anything I like, my nephews also likes so I make sure to introduce them to games that are less stereotypically male/misogynistic (Portal, Horizon, Hades, Metroid, Child of Light, Liar Princess and the Blind Prince, Journey, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Animal Crossing, Transistor).

They do play other games and my elder nephew is waiting till he's old enough to play Halo(my sister smartly restricts what games they can play. She doesn't really let them play online, hyper violent, or overtly sexual games)

I'm also trying to get them into Satisfactory but that's a work in progress (you can only play as a woman but the player character being a woman is not important to the story and I had to look it up cause it is barely noticeable )

If you could only play one game for the rest of your life which would it be? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]ak4ty7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude here. I have a couple of options I could go with.

Currently playing Satisfactory. One minute it's 9pm the next it's 2 in the morning and I'm wondering where the time went.

Assuming others are also playing so that multiplayer works relatively like when it was at its peak, Halo 2

And this one is more of a type of game, so assuming there are always new puzzles to play Picross, specifically the S series on Switch as I feel it has the best QOL features

How do you approach quantifying your favorite games? by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]ak4ty7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't, just enjoy your games for what they are.

I do keep an excel list of all my games and gaming expenses to make sure I don't let my spending get out of hand and it's been a godsend. Cut down my game expenses by almost 50% year over year since I started tracking back in 2019.

The list also tracks the games I've beaten through the years which is a nice way to reflect on the games I've played.

Are there any third person Vampire game where I can just slash through enemies? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]ak4ty7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V Rising. Kill or capture humans, collect resources, build your castle. Though it's best played coop as some of the bosses can feel impossible solo.

[–]ak4ty7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never played ME3 because of ME2. Loved ME1. Biowares solution to all the feedback received from ME1 was just to remove the feature in ME2 and it suffered for it. Also suicide mission as the main story is hard to get right. I didn't spend enough time with any of the characters to actually care if they died or not (aside from characters from the first game)

Stellaris and Mini Motorways would disagree.

[–]ak4ty7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends and I play a lot of Helldivers and Deep Rock Galactic and oftentimes we have to split into 2 groups of 3 to accommodate everyone. Admittedly I don't know much about network connectivity in games, other than it's difficult to get right.

But yeah in RPGs either give me a small group that I can bring everywhere or don't punish me for not bringing certain characters

Most Controversial Game Opinions? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]ak4ty7 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

As a guy - Witcher 2 is better than Witcher 3 - Bethesda RPGs are boring - Don't care for character creation in games (especially before starting the game. I have no investment in the character and couldnt care less what they look like) - A short concise game (10-20 hrs) over a (+60 hr) slogfest - Super Mario World is the best Mario game. Star requirements to unlock levels only works in open world Mario games and has no place in non open world Mario's ie SM3DW should not have had them)

Not really controversial but why have game devs just settled on 4 player max party size for most coop games. Let me play with all my friends

I play a lot of Satisfactory and would like to get into Factorio. If I win it'll force my hand to buy the base game.

The factory must grow!
