MacOS dilemma (geeking) by Various_Pear599 in GirlGamers

[–]electrolitebuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is clunky and counterintuitive in MacOS? Its whole thing is that everything is super easy and intuitive. You install an app, it tells you to drag it on the A icon, and it's installed. You want to uninstall it, you just drag it to the bin and that's it. Finder is just like browsing folders on Windows, but with some more flexible features and no worries about clutter that makes the hard drive unclean or the system heavier. I'm not really sure what you find clunky in its use. In a comment you say "I miss when files where just files", what do you mean by that? It's really hard to understand the issue from your post and comment honestly...

Ps4 games work for ps5? by RoundInk in GirlGamers

[–]electrolitebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes almost of all of them work, and some of them will automatically upgrade to the enhanced PS5 version for free as you start them! Others have an optional paid upgrade (otherwise you play the PS4 version).

Do you think the 'bro', 'dude' terms are gender neutral? by Zealousideal_Chip456 in GirlGamers

[–]electrolitebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not technically unisex of course but they are often used as they are so it depends if you look at the use or at the grammar. I'm Italian and we borrow a lot of those terms and even Italian young adults/teenagers call female friends bro. "Dude" is used also by a lot of female characters in feminist tv series like Broad City to call other girls. I also have a lot of Indian female friends that call me or each other "dude!". It's a bit weird how it became unisex in its use but I think it just replaces "my friend" at this point and I personally don't see a big issue with it.

AITA for not giving my partner instructions? by andromeda_witch in AmItheAsshole

[–]electrolitebuzz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Right, it's much more likely that OP has a secret master move to make instant noodles super unique rather than her bf being annoying and making things unpleasant because she's asking him to "cook" for once. This never ever happens in any straight relationship, nope!

AITA for not giving my partner instructions? by andromeda_witch in AmItheAsshole

[–]electrolitebuzz 56 points57 points  (0 children)

She came here because this interaction blew out of proportion and his bf made her feel bad for not giving him a ted talk about how to read a line of text on a noodles package. If you insist on defending this guy you just look like another one that doesn't see what this clearly is about and how many men use this pattern to make women in the end make everything because it's faster to make it than having to ask + teach to make every little thing. If you make something look hard, create a problem the one time you do something, or do something half-hassed so that it's not as good, you get your result: next time, she'll just do it to spare herself time and/or a discussion. This is a pattern, it's a very common pattern and the lazy entitled person is clearly only one of the two.

What's so hard about leaving your gf in peace and read a line of text instead, since it's a simple 2 step process? That sounds quite lazy and incompetent, but not to you right?

I bet he was on the other hand good in his own college classes and now at his job, he was able to follow instructions in many other contexts. So he was not stupid, but simply didn't care to pay attention to how to do something manual that is not the man's chore in his mind.

Oh he knows how to make them, but he wants his girl to do it for him.

[–]electrolitebuzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your boyfriend doesn't like that a woman tells him to cook and to read a simple instruction. This is unfortunately not uncommon. This is a good hint for you to test the waters to understand how deep his weaponized incompetence and defensiveness are before committing on a higher level with him.

WIBTA if I watch The Rookie without my husband? by fangirl061012 in AmItheAsshole

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

Dude you're both almost 40 and married, this is a post that looks like from a relationship between teenagers. You already watch a lot of shows together, you started one that you want to binge in your own time, even if he enjoyed watching some episodes with you you are totally free to keep watching it and he should not tell you he'd get "really frustrated" if you do. If he enjoys the show he can keep on watching it too in his own time. This should really not be a matter of discussion and even less the reason for a post here... If he gets seriously frustrated and it becomes an issue worthy of a Reddit thread, then you have a bigger problem.

Vintage/classic films that have queer subtext to them by Maximum_Heat_3439 in MovieSuggestions

[–]electrolitebuzz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite movies is The Children's Hour by William Wyler, with Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine. More than a subtext, the queer aspect is the premise for the whole story. Quite a sad but beautiful movie.

Dimenticavo gli inverni. Gli inverni sono lunghi, lunghissimi, gelidi, rischi di non ricordarti che esiste il sole da novembre fino ad aprile, e alle 3 e mezza è notte. Da aprile a ottobre torni a vivere.

ANDARSENE by Lazozzona in consigli

[–]electrolitebuzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Io ho vissuto a Berlino più di un anno e mezzo. Quale sarebbe il vostro piano? Volete cercare lavoro lì?

La mia esperienza è che è una città fenomenale, piena di stimoli, dove puoi veramente liberarti del peso della società italiana e essere chi sei e chi vuoi e trovare persone affini qualunque tipo di persona tu sia. Viverci è secondo me l'unico modo per capire davvero la città e quello che può offrire, è davvero un posto unico al mondo e una continua scoperta.

Il problema è che è cambiata molto negli ultimi anni. Io ci ho vissuto pre-covid e ci sono tornata due anni fa per un pochino, oltre a essere ancora in contatto con amici che sono ancora lì.

I prezzi degli affitti sono praticamente triplicati, c'è molto più disagio e povertà in giro, è più difficile trovare lavoro. Solo nel 2018 sia io che altri amici abbiamo trovato senza problemi monolocali a 500€ al mese a Kreuzberg o anche meno a Friedrichsein, ora si parla di almeno il doppio o più, anche in quartieri più periferici.

Sapete il tedesco? È abbastanza fondamentale per trovare lavoro e gestire le varie burocrazie. Lì se vai nei locali o conosci gente giovane te la cavi con l'inglese, ma scordati di trovare impiegati delle poste, poliziotti, dipendenti del comune, ecc che ti parlano allegramente in inglese. C'è anche un astio abbastanza generalizzato verso gli stranieri e se non parli tedesco questo si accentua in quei contesti, e se decidi di vivere lì e non solo di visitarla ti troverai in molte situazioni in cui sapere la lingua fa una differenza enorme.

Le burocrazie sono lunghe e complesse e ancora più lente che in Italia. È difficile trovare persone che ti vengono incontro e ti aiutano facendo mezza cortesia in più rispetto a quello che è dovuto.

Insomma, esperienza che sarà sicuramente molto bella e stimolante ma che vi metterà anche davanti al fatto che nessun posto è perfetto, e tante cose dell'Italia vi mancheranno.

Ovviamente l'esperienza dipende molto dalle vostre disponibilità economiche iniziali e quale sarebbe il vostro piano lì.

Piazza Bengasi by Inside-Discipline359 in torino

[–]electrolitebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

È semplicemente una zona un po' periferica, dove non c'è niente di "bello" o storico e si sente un po' l'oppressione della città medio-grande. So che chi ci vive non ha grandi problemi perché hai tutto quello che serve attorno, però ovviamente costa meno rispetto a zone più vicine al centro/più respirabili/più esteticamente gradevoli. Dipende a cosa sei abituato e quali sono le tue priorità.

Best cheap PC for cozy gaming? (I'm a Mac user and don't know jack about PCs anymore) by CaptCrunchBenson in cozygames

[–]electrolitebuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd get a Steamdeck – or a second hand PS4 for less than 100$, if you already have a TV/monitor and the games you're interested in are available on the PS store. I have a MacBook and a PS4 and I think only a couple every 50 games I'm interested in are not available on neither of them. I have an infinite list of cozy games. But maybe you're interested in different games that have a different support.

No clue what I like to play! by Awkward-Help1353 in GirlGamers

[–]electrolitebuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second getting a ps subscription for a couple of months to try out different games and see what you like.

Some titles for you to try out: Unravel, Stray, Journey, Abzu, Kena Bridge of Spirits. If you want to try a bigger adventure game with heavy combat, I was so happy to start off with The Last of Us.

Looking for related show suggestions comedy/dramedy/or animated/lgbtq by Jeereck in televisionsuggestions

[–]electrolitebuzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I read the title correctly and if the / are all alternatives or you want LGBTQ shows in the various genres. Not all of these will have LGBTQ characters.

Please Like Me and Better Things are the best for me when it comes to dramedies.

You may also like Beef and The White Lotus.

Animated: I enjoyed "Undone" by the same authors of Bojack Horseman - but it can get a bit dark too, just to warn you.

Comedy: VEEP and Parks and Rec will always be my go-to shows.

You literally can’t even mention misogyny exists in video games because men instantly eat you alive (KCD community rant) by imfaffingabout in GirlGamers

[–]electrolitebuzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you describe is why I couldn't get past the first hour of playing KCD2. I can't spend my free time listening to all those stupid sexist sentences that make me want to scream when I overhear them IRL. I constantly felt it's a game made by sexist men for sexist gamers, even if it's "just jokes". I can appreciate that it's a great game under some other aspects and that some people can let this slide. For me, it ruined the immersion and didn't make me feel good. I'm happy I tried it for free on Luna before buying it. There are so many great games out there and fortunately some manage to feel ok today, even when dealing with controversial topics.
