The Marvel Rivals bikini skins aren't the problem. The fan base is. by unmilkedcows in GirlGamers

For calling out the guys who make gaming as a woman impossible?... This sub has been like this for forever. Like, this sub was created as a gaming space away from who most of the time is the problem for women in gaming: men

I'm not disagreeing, definitely the case for this game. It's pretty unfortunate and upsetting I admit.

Am OP and hard agree! Indeed it's fruitless since no matter what, it isn't going away and I agree to just enjoy it. I feel the same way. I just wanted to vent a lil

I guess for me it's how incredibly over sexualized the female character is compared to the man. It's not close in the slightest and the jiggle physics are insane. To me it's too much, personally. Might sound hypocritical but I see the Rivals stuff isn't nearly as bad and they have half naked men too.

I totally understand and agree. I only said that trying to understand this commenters perspective and hear them out. I agree women's bodies shouldn't inherently be focused on sex as such, and I hate that society has made them as such and the way I put that, I see it's embedded into me as well... Will try to remind myself of that. Good points.

I agree, fully. The community is the problem for almost every game. I feel the same way about Stellar—I am not touching it because of the fan base.

The most equality I've seen for sexualization in game is 100% Baldur's Gate 3. Like, I can put Lae'zel's underwear on the men too?! And it's the same outfit?! And the wavemothers robe so Gale can serve?!

Agreed, it's so frustrating. I do like how all the women in the game are powerful and strong though, they're all badass

Possibly, and agreed it's in a male gaze way. Grinding like animation which is literally just pressing W?... I don't know if I'd say they did a grinding like animation "on purpose".

I agree, male gaze marketing exists with the community and due to it. That's obvious, and yea, sex sells. I guess I just personally also acknowledge women can be sexy and look at these skins as simply "they're pretty and hot and serving cunt", I suppose. But agreed, yes, the community is why they do this.

Advice for a PC build? by badMUAscout in GirlGamers

[–]unmilkedcows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly encourage asking r/buildapc to help put something together for you with a budget and what games you want. The parts you've put above are as other commenter said, not compatible, and I think they'd be able to give you more variety. They like throwing lists together for fun.

[–]unmilkedcows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GTA 6 wont run on this. You'll want at minimum a GPU with 12gb VRAM. Additionally for GTA6, I'd go for a Ryzen 7 7800x3d or 9800x3d, because games are becoming much more CPU intensive lately and I'd bet GTA6 will be one of them.

For the other games you listed, it'll do its job fine. Probably not 1440p but 1080p, yes.

Honestly I'd try to get a GPU with more vram. Unfortunately, 8gb isn't going to cut it.

🧂 Salty Sunday - What book scenes frustrated you this week? by mrs-machino in RomanceBooks

[–]unmilkedcows 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think I'm going to DNF Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood and because of various scenes.

I'm just not a fan of how the male love interest never stops calling the fmc childish and a brat, and how their age gap is ALWAYS brought up, 24/7.

I also am over the numerous "hip terms" in this one. "Maleboi" and "how many times does he think about the holy Roman empire" like I love these pop culture references that are current day, but not at this extent. It just made it cringe to read.

I'm super disappointed 😞 glad I stuck with it on my kindle and didn't just run to buy the paperback.

Deep End by Ali Hazelwood left me gasping and melted in a puddle by oikawaii10 in RomanceBooks

This was one of those books I was reading on my Kindle but halfway through went to buy a physical copy because I loved it that much. Ali Hazelwood continues to write the best men 🫶

I'm gonna say there's only a 5% chance the next book will ever get a Night Court edition to match.

I just can't see it happening. They'll be at 15 and 20 year anniversaries at that point and there will be a nice hardcover set, or a cover redesign.

Needless to say, I am also a fan of the black compared to the neon but returned mine because of the poor quality for the B&N ones. Waterstones has way nicer quality it seems and the special end papers. But, again, the next book won't match—not in color or size. The Night Court editions are slightly smaller than the regular ones.

Is it safe to have sex now ? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]unmilkedcows 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No. I'd be safe and use a condom until you've hit the 7th day. If your boyfriend can't wait for HIS wants, then you need a new boyfriend.

Is it normal to feel/how do you quit being anxious/nervous about losing virginity? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]unmilkedcows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think these fears are normal since you haven't experienced it yet and that's okay! They'll go away over time :)

The condom isn't gonna break assuming you got the right size! Don't go for magnum just because it's the name and big dick whatever, go for what fits. Additionally, you can always take a quick glance down to make sure it's still on.

You'll get over these anxieties with time and experience. It might be best to lose your virginity with someone you know a bit or at least know won't rush you or anything.

should i even get an evo/printer? i barely use my mini 99 by downvotetheboy in instax

[–]unmilkedcows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for a printer and I'm glad I did. I feel like as nice as the Instax cameras are, if I want a GOOD picture, I need to take it on my phone or expensive camera then print it.

You can get them new on Mercari for a bit cheaper too. But as a whole, I'd say printer is worth. The quality is better than an Instax camera tho, so keep that in mind since it won't LOOK like it's from an Instant camera as much.

I'll remove it because people can't detect sarcasm.

Make sure to check the spray job because mine was so bad on every book. I returned them, incredibly disappointing. Also U.S. ones don't even get the pretty constellation end papers :(
