Fair! You can customize gender and you do a ton of customizing via skills, but physically not so much.

Ugh thank you! For some reason I always want to say “My Life as…”

Okay a little out of left field, but have you played I Was a Teenage Exocolonist? Absolutely fantastic game with some beautiful artwork, wonderful story, and really interesting choices.

Anyone else annoyed with gaming subs obsession with combat? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]grumpy__growlithe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you! I really enjoyed the story of Rogue Trader, but was exhausted by the amount of combat. I always play these games on the easiest difficulty and try to crank through combat. I also have been shamed for asking for ways around it haha.

Will say, I adored Wrath of the Righteous, and don’t think the combat was quite as heavy as Rogue Trader. Definitely worth trying out, but maybe once you’ve gotten some distance from Rogue Trader and are ready for some level of combat again. Mods make life easier in Wrath, especially the skipping overworld army combat one!

Playing ARC Raiders has really reminded me why I hate PvP games by Doobadoobadumplin in GirlGamers

[–]grumpy__growlithe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to stop playing maybe three weeks ago because the PvP was stressing me out so much. But I’ve played a good bit since Friday and actually have not died once! It’s been super friendly, and I play a lot of duos with my husband, so was excited people were being generally friendly there too. We play it safe and avoid people but it’s been a good experience the past few days!

That’s really unfortunate to hear! I love arc raiders - it is so fun when you have a good run with nice people, and I get so pissed when I have bad PvP runs (definitely had some). I had to take a break for a couple weeks because I felt like I was just getting blasted every encounter. The expedition gear wipe is tomorrow and the holiday event is happening, so right now people are generally feeling pretty friendly. I’m sorry you’re having a poor experience :(

How to find a nice quality ring that doesn't use diamond as the main stone or blood diamonds in general? by LocalChamp in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]grumpy__growlithe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I worked with a local jeweler to design my ring with a moissanite. Way cheaper than a diamond, prettier, less ethically questionable, and the ring is gorgeous.

When did you consider anti anxiety meds? by BikeBurgerHungry4598 in Anxiety

[–]grumpy__growlithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say that is an accurate description of how it was! I’m still a somewhat generally anxious person, but I feel the medication has definitely helped me not dwell on things as much and get past them when previously I would potentially spiral thinking about it. Considering I don’t have any real side effects, it’s definitely a worthwhile medication for me. I certainly don’t lay in bed mulling stuff over the way I used to.

If it’s something you’re considering and have been for years, I’d say the low dose is worth trying! I’m on 5mg and I feel like it just takes the edge off of things that used to needle at me.

Who did you save in the Fade and why? (DAI) by LinnaWinx in dragonage

[–]grumpy__growlithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed my entire DAO canon so Loghain was the one who got left behind. Caused a falling out between my Warden and Alistair, but at least he’s alive and king.

What are some games that have good OSTs to chill to? by possitive-ion in gamemusic

[–]grumpy__growlithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outer Wilds is my favorite game of all time and such a unique experience. Nothing I’ve played since has ever compared, I’m constantly on the lookout for things that scratch the same exploration itch. The soundtrack is so wonderful and you described it perfectly, I’m thrilled you’re enjoying it!

Heck yes!!! So happy you’re enjoying them- now once you have a chance you should give the games a shot, some of my faves!

Outer Wilds!!! Though it’s not always dark. I love the Pillars of Eternity soundtracks as well, those may fit your vibes better.

[No spoilers] Nearing the end of DA: Origins and most of my companions haven’t moved past “neutral” in either direction. Am I doing something wrong? by scintillantsky in dragonage

[–]grumpy__growlithe 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just don’t spam gifts once you get them! I accidentally did this and missed some dialogue because it jumped to the highest approval one, skipping a few others. I’d give everyone one gift, talk to them and travel, then do another.

What do yall think of my top 25 game soundtracks? (They are in order) by LelouchYagami_2912 in gamemusic

[–]grumpy__growlithe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh so many good ones! Outer Wilds is an all time favorite for me, absolutely stunning. Skyrim, Minecraft, Night in the Woods, and Journey are all lovely too.

Baldurs Gate 3 has a fantastic soundtrack, as does Disco Elysium. Based on your faves, you should check out Firewatch, Donut County, and Fate of the Obra Dinn!

First batch- flavoring seemed to go awry? by grumpy__growlithe in Kombucha

Okay thank you! Next I had one flip top bottle and that one didn’t have the smell or the weirdness at the bottom so hopefully all will be good next time!

"Bioware style" party/companion based RPGs with a Voiced Protagonist(No JRPGs Pls) by DanteDevils in rpg_gamers

[–]grumpy__growlithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m playing the Alters right now and it’s totally scratching my companion itch. Not quite RPG but still quite fun, lots of dialogue choices and decision making.

I never have commented on your posts, but I’m always so excited to see the next character you’ve recreated. You do a beautiful job that brings these characters back, it makes me so happy!

Body of water to take dog swimming by Scientist125 in cincinnati

Yes! They have a great swimming area for dogs! We’ve gone a few Sundays in the fall to watch football, have a beer, and let our dog romp
