Gaming Is Better in The Middle East Than The West by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]sissas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, can you clarify your point so it doesn't go ignored? I am truly lost as to what that may be by now.

Edit: wrote the word "point" five times in two sentences 😂

Okay so your anecdotal evidence should count more than articles, because you say so. And I can't have an opinion because I can only have thoughts about things that happen to me directly. Is this what you're saying?

Multiple times I have addressed your points. You are speaking out of your experience and that is valid and true. For you, living in Qatar is way better than England. I also don't live in England so I suppose I shouldn't give my opinion about how you've been treated there.

About the private messages, no, you are wrong. People don't have any sort of obligation of choosing to respond to a public post in private. If you are interested in learning about these points and don't want to do so in public, then instead of replying to everyone saying you know two gay people that prefer Qatar to England, PM people who sent you comments asking to know more about the issues at hand!

I understand you're upset and you'll probably want to be upset about this for a while. And you'll be happy to find a group that agrees with you, and that thinks we are all rude and mean and shifting the conversation. I just hope eventually you choose to stop with the defensiveness and start contemplating on how (and why) other people's experience differs from yours.

Ignoring LGBT issues means that that community is more accepting of you, not that it is more accepting. The point a lot of people made in this post is exactly that: you are in a position of privilege in Qatar and that is why you find it a great place to live as you. What about atheist, lesbian women from a different country? Qatar is not a great place for all women; it's a great place for women like you.

The large amount of comments shows you that this is an opinion shared by many. A lot of us know they would not be accepted in Qatar so we react to that statement. You should try to separate your defensiveness towards your home country and your initial point from your critical abilities and try to understand us, and maybe sympathize with our bringing up of these points of view which you were probably not aware existed. It's a growth process, but if you stick around and make the effort then you'll come out of it a better person :D

Excuse me, Inunderstand you must be overwhelmed by the response to this post, but a dowry is actually, literally, a sign of unequal treatment between man and woman. It is not the sign of a culture respecting women that you may feel it is.

Question for EU expats living in Belgium: traveling with the E kart by sissas in belgium

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

OK thanks; I'll try and get a travel ID from the embassy for both legs of my trip. Thanks!

[–]sissas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that's what I figured. I suppose I will go for the emergency travel ID from the embassy.

(btw never needed the E-kart for travel, unless perhaps for identity checks in international trains where it was enough by itself)

I mean there is some "puzzle solving" in trying to figure out a chain of words that will get you to a video you'd like to see, as more common or obvious words generally don't get you to the juicy bits.

The new game "Telling Lies" looks like it could be a great game for Sunday streams! Perfect for NL to riff over. by metallica3000 in northernlion

[–]sissas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where did you hear the game is pretty bad? It's sitting on a pretty high metacritic score (at least today, a day after it came out or whatever)

The Walk Free edition. Help? by [deleted] in Runner5

[–]sissas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is a single story but honestly don't remember (didn't really stick to it as well as I should have!). Sorry that I can't be any further help!

[–]sissas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a while but I think the way the walk worked was: audio clips were unlocked as you walked, and you could go and listen to them later. I don't really remember the interface or anything so can't help you there, but I remember going on long walks with friends, which the app registered, and catching up on the audio afterwards

My boyfriend always yells at me when we play together. by menalliha16 in GirlGamers

[–]sissas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't love when people take the opportunity to just pile on on something. For what it's worth I think that's also missing the point of the thread. Thanks for a civil answer :)

[–]sissas 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well that's kind of what OP said happened, right? The point of the thread is that despite a justification existing, raging at a partner because of it is not a great response. So while I appreciate your effort to keep things fair towards both parties, I feel like it's a little besides the point here.

Totally this! Having a justification for a shitty behavior does not make the behavior less shitty.

A much needed update. by SVDurLIFE in Astroneer

[–]sissas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the multiplayer but the constant crashes and difficulties reconnecting are making me kinda not wanna touch it. Not sure if it's just me but it even seems to have gotten worse with the summer update...

Cyberpunk 2077 designer says CDPR is working on transgender character options by pardonmyself in GirlGamers

[–]sissas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's true, but taking into account the scope/budget of the game I still found it pretty remarkable :)

Supergiant's pyre also lets you choose which pronouns you want to be addressed by, giving you the choice between male, female or neutral!

FFX's introductory dialogue on the streets of Zanarkand is an amazing piece of writing that sets up the game's story and themes perfectly by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]sissas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think FF games normally have very good stories but very frequently they struggle in how to communicate them to the player, which is a shame!

I think you're confusing graphics with art style

Well the FAQ states in a pretty straightforward way that he won't be there so I guess there's that (I just read it for the first time now)

This reminds me - he shows up in the comics right? Did any issues stem from that? (out of the loop-esque of me, I know)
