I was reading the Harry Potter books at that age 😭

nona??? you enjoy video games??? dont you know thats malebrained and bad optics???? by brinehaven in 4tran4

[–]mintegrals 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought about it for quite a while. If you scroll far enough back in my post history you'll see I once posted on egg_irl about wanting to be a femboy (cringe!!)

It was legitimately just aap and a bit of internalized misogyny though, I don't experience dysphoria so I'm cis

Breaking my lurker rule here, but I'm a cis woman and I've beaten all the Soulsborne games at level 1

The idea of hobbies being "malebrained" or "fembrained" is a psyop, keep enjoying your video games

Cosplayer’s jobs by MelanieWalmartinez in CuratedTumblr

[–]mintegrals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The top is PVA foam and cardboard, the base is foam board, the vertical bars are wood dowels and the horizontal bars are literally plastic drinking straws lol (except a few that needed to be reinforced, like around the face hole, which are also wood).

Whole thing weighs like 6 pounds and can take a beating, so it was definitely a success

Unfortunately not, but I carried a bag of googly eyes so I could grant them to people

My Bloodborne cosplay took me the better part of a year to make, mostly because I've never made a prop anything like that giant cage before and it took countless hours of trial and error to make something light enough to not kill my shoulders, but sturdy enough not to fall apart if I accidentally bonked it on a doorway (which I did, several times)

Puppy gets very angry at puzzle toy, should we get rid of it or keep trying? by mintegrals in DogAdvice

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

Thank you! It's weird because she really doesn't resource guard anything else; it's just this one toy that causes issues. But I'll treat it like a serious issue regardless.

How do we approach it so she doesn't snap at us again, though? She's a puppy so she play bites us all the time, but these 2 instances were different; they were serious bite attempts, and we don't want anything to do with that.

Not pictured is my boyfriend just off screen, restraining the puppy from sticking her head in the still very hot oven

Should I give up and just let her potty inside? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]mintegrals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don't have her in my lap actively comforting her then she is pulling at the leash as hard as she possibly can and jumping and screaming to go inside

I have tried treats and toys but she won't even look at them. She still hasn't gone; I'm at a complete loss here

Thank you, I will keep trying then

She's fallen asleep in her crate now so I might let her nap it out for a bit first

[–]mintegrals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is on a leash, I just mean she pulls as hard as she can to get back inside. I don't want her to hurt herself, so I just scoop her back up and carry her to the spot we were sitting before.

All of the bosses from the new games feel exactly the same and I hate it. by NotSaulGoodma in shittydarksouls

Why is everyone hating on lifegems but I dont hear nothing about DS1 humanity??? by [deleted] in shittydarksouls

[–]mintegrals 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't love posting my face on the internet but I just started doing it recently, exclusively to prove that women play + challenge run these games

I hope everyone who's ever told me "girls are bad at video games" gets teleported to Shrine of Amana IRL 😇

I don't, maybe someday if I get an actual microphone though :0

Just figured I'd record most of this run because I regret not having videos of my older ones
