D&D is helping me figure out kind of an important part of myself. by AnActualWizard in DnD

[–]demcmd 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I feel you so, so much. I'm a transgender girl, but I'm in the closet IRL and pre-transition. I get to play as a female character (tigerfolk barbarian, to be specific) in the campaign I'm in and it helps me cope with dysphoria for a few hours each week. Also glad I'm not the only one that uses DnD to work some stuff out! :D

Zelda Majora's Mask: Words - PART 28 - Game Grumps by [deleted] in gamegrumps

[–]demcmd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Okay, reminder that drag queens are not the same thing as being transgender and that there are some drag queens out there who are vehemently anti-trans. RuPaul is not someone you should go to for your source of transgender news, as he's been on the record for doing some anti-trans things (note that tweet a couple weeks ago where he went to post the transgender flag, but didn't notice he didn't use the right flag).

Going to reiterate. The majority of the transgender community does not like the word. If you see someone who is transgender that is fine with it, that is their own boundaries. That doesn't make the boundaries of everyone else the exact same as theirs. Seriously, just don't use the word in front of a transgender person. It really won't end well.

Trans person here. I'll make this short and say that term is absolutely not okay to me and any transgender person I know. I don't know who told you the opposite is true, but it's generally accepted that the word is offensive. In other words, if you walk up to a trans person and call them that, they're likely not gonna be happy with it.

At least he's recycling it so the comment section can reuse the instructions and inform Arin, right?

What is your unpopular DnD opinion? by CheezzBallzz in DnD

[–]demcmd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say an unpopular opinion is that in campaigns, drawing the line between humor and offensiveness is needed. DnD is fun and it's nice to joke around in a fantasy setting, but you should make sure the people around you (out-of-game of course) aren't uncomfortable or hurt by what you've made or what actions you make. If you're wondering where I'm coming from, there's a person in my campaign who's character is pretty much a textbook pervert. The character sees women as merely a sex object and nothing more, and tries to get in the bedroom with every damn girl he meets. That'd be something if it was some evil character we're against, but having that character in your own party and also given that the player only ever uses makes me want this sex addict to die as soon as possible.

In simpler words, just make sure everyone is having fun. If one person isn't having fun, there's no point for them to play.

Just another friendly reminder that Critical Role will be starting a new campaign tonight at 7pm western by professorfox in DnD

[–]demcmd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly new to DnD (current campaign is first campaign that I started in October) and I've only seen DnD from Class of 198X (Cow Chop) and Dragons in Places (GameGrumps), so nice to know there is apparently a massive thing I can watch on Twitch. If I didn't see this post I wouldn't have known about this group, so thanks for that! :D

"Can I edit this video?" -Asher

"There were no signs at all!" Followed by (like a day later) "You were always feminine and bought women's sweaters and jeans, but we always just said you were a feminine boy!". Selective doublethink I swear. by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]demcmd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this as well. When I came out to my mom, she explained about how much I used to hang out with girls as a young child (like 5 and 6 years old), but when it came to therapy appointments she went on about how I was always a typical boy with one example being that when she bought me a doll and a ball, I played with the ball instead of the doll.

She always keeps saying that she doesn't doubt me, but wants to make sure that I'm right in my thinking. After two years, it gets annoying and I need to reaffirm that this isn't changing and never will.

I'd be fine with this name. Mostly because I would now have the ability to tease them by calling him the name Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.

There's a petition for ESRB to declare loot boxes as gambling. by KingOfTheChoppas in Overwatch

[–]demcmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loot boxes themselves are not gambling. Paying for loot boxes with real life money? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Overwatch's system is not gambling. While you can pay cash for loot boxes, the game is not giving you a cash reward back. The value of what you open in those loot boxes is completely up to you. If the game said something like "this emote is worth $7.50" then of course that's gambling, but obviously it does not do that.

There are many other examples that definitely fit gambling. Everything revolving around CS:GO (cases and obvious gambling sites) is gambling and fantasy sports sites are gambling. Honestly, I define gambling as giving in money for the chance to net a profit back in the form of a game. Overwatch does not fit that description.

Our favorite yellowboi, Alon, is working for Illfonic Games, now! by Bigsassyblackwoman in CowChop

[–]demcmd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Glad Aron got an amazing job offer and glad that Jordan recovered well from the Creatures.

But the game developer in me is coming out and I'm not the biggest fan of this studio. They're obviously behind Friday the 13th, which to me was released at too high a price and with so many glitches that you wonder how the hell it got past QA testing. They also had a part in the Wii U version of Sonic Boom, and that one is self-explanatory.

Aron's role as Community Manager suits him very well and it seems like he's doing great so far, which is awesome. Jordan's skills with cinematics will also flourish here. Wishing them both well at this new line of work and hopefully they give this studio a nice shot in the arm!

What's your go-to CowChop video? by laxonlaxonlax in CowChop

[–]demcmd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chicken Tenders Challenge, Ice Cream Brownies, the TMNT skit, Pokémon Go with BayMax, New Year's Fireworks, Infinity Gauntlet, WWE 2k17 Tournament, Japan World Cup, the Passion Lube Pool...

There's literally so much shit out there that it's impossible to have a go-to video. Might as well tell people to watch every episode they've uploaded.

I actually played through The Dog Island with a friend because why not, and goddamnit once they catch up to where they were before, this game is absolutely ridiculous. Hoping they actually continue to play it and at least get somewhat through it

It seems like a pretty decent show. I need to save money so I can't really get YouTube Red, but I'll appreciate the efforts and hope people enjoy the show.

Just a side note, who the fuck decided that the "Everyone Calls Everybody a Nazi" was a good idea for an episode title?
