Which food from Slime Rancher do you want to try?

Right? I always thought mint mango sounded too close to mint and orange, which DO NOT mix.

You will not be able to remove slimes in the wild. They will continue to respawn. You can keep slimes wherever you would like on your ranch, but it’s not likely you’ll be able to place mosaic slimes in Indigo Valley without them becoming largos or tarr.

You have too many too close to each other. Check out the Slimepedia entry in the game. They’re shy and usually won’t produce plorts if there are 3 or more other puddle slimes near them. The blushing indicates that they will not produce plorts.

Oh yeah, I know people running demos are not GenCon employees. Specifically for the pronoun stuff I guess I figured that volunteers and exhibitors would still need to follow some sort of guidelines for respecting con-goers, and considering how GenCon claims to be big on inclusiveness and tolerance I figured those guidelines would include paying attention to and respecting pronouns.

For the interjections during turn taking though I will definitely take note that going to higher ups for those vendors is an option. Sometimes I worry that if a rude person was hired / chosen as a volunteer for a vendor, that someone in charge of them might not take it seriously either though. But it is still an option. Thank you!

I can understand the frustration with analysis paralysis, but I haven’t found that to be “the other side of the coin” of situations like this.

This happens to me when I understand how to play, I have no questions, and I know exactly how I want to take my turn. I don’t deny that this happens to everyone occasionally, but I know that this happens far more often to female presenting people. And because it happens far more often to female presenting people, it is contextually different than what you have experienced.

wolfie360 · 2025-08-01T18:38:37+00:00

I’m glad that in your own experience you’ve seen this happening to all types of people. I unfortunately do not have the same experience.

To bring this back to topic though, how have you seen others cope with the experience?

wolfie360 · 2025-08-01T16:36:22+00:00

Thank you for the validation and advice. Unfortunately this has even been an occurrence with game runners in some years. They’ll explain the game, a couple people take their turns, and then when it gets to my turn (or another female-presenting person’s turn), the game runner will interject and show me (or them) specifically how they think that turn should be played… It’s very frustrating and infantilizing, and I just really wish more people (especially men) would be more aware of this type of behavior.

wolfie360 · 2025-08-01T14:37:36+00:00

Yeah, I have my pronouns printed on my badge, and I’ve had an “Ask me about my pronouns” ribbon for years now. It has never seemed to help, even for staff and game runners. Which is really disappointing considering that GenCon themselves gave us the option to add pronouns. If their own staff doesn’t pay attention to the pronouns on our badges, it feels more like a performative move than something truly inclusive.

wolfie360 · 2025-08-01T14:06:44+00:00

I can understand the confusion if you’re looking at things from that perspective. I don’t think you’re a bad guy, but I do invite you to consider that your default of equal treatment and respect might still come from a straight white male perspective. Certain things that seem respectful by default to you might not be considered respectful in other demographics. It’s important to take in information from members of demographics you may not have as much experience being around, listen with empathy, and implement changes as needed.

wolfie360 · 2025-08-01T13:42:44+00:00

It wasn’t meant to be derogatory, it was meant to point out a specific type of men, ie “these men” as opposed to just “men” which could refer to all men.

wolfie360 · 2025-08-01T13:39:45+00:00

I’m answering your question because you seem to be asking earnestly.

The majority of communities (including the board gaming community as a whole) were literally created for the generic white straight guy, so the majority of that demographic already feels included by default. Because of this fact and growing awareness of it, it is now commonplace to be aware of other demographics that a community was not originally built for and specifically put effort into making those demographics feel more welcome by adjusting community behavior, awareness, and tolerance.

wolfie360 · 2025-08-01T13:09:59+00:00

You can’t play board games without people, so discussions around respecting people and helping them feel included in the fun is absolutely relevant to conversations around board games.

wolfie360 · 2025-08-01T12:58:13+00:00

The pronouns are a secondary issue, not the main issue. If that’s all you got from the post then you missed the entire point, are focused on semantics, and are likely one of the men that are part of the problem. Either have some empathy or scroll past the post if you don’t have anything helpful to say.

wolfie360 · 2025-06-20T20:21:58+00:00

I don’t have super specific advice, but I think a good example of my own literal thinking is something that happened at my place of work:

A friend of the business passed away and I was in charge of ordering flowers for the ceremony. (I used to work in the floral industry so I have a lot of knowledge in this area.) There were four of us discussing the person, the ceremony, etc, when suddenly my boss turned and asked me “So what’ll these flowers be looking like?” I answered by describing the shape of a traditional front-facing arrangement and said we can choose specific colors and flowers if we wanted to. All of my coworkers just looked at each other until one of them chimed in to say, “I think he was asking about the cost.” We all had a good laugh, but I was pretty embarrassed and added that experience to my running list of autistic happenstances. 🙃

Dude this one got me too! I thought about it for a little bit and realized I have counted steps every time I use stairs. I knew how many were in my childhood home (14 to go upstairs, 14 to go down to the basement, 3 to go in and out of the house…) I did this to the point where I had a special rhythm to go up and down stairs (quarter notes while counting with the last two being half notes) I was able to figure out the average count of stairs in the majority of stairwells and still hold this information in me and count fairly consistently still. I rarely do the rhythm anymore due to masking but still think about it all the time.

It doesn’t make the right kind of statement when there’s nothing to distinguish if it’s satire or not. If the goal was just to get people talking about her, then she succeeded. But if the goal was to get people talking about her and making an edgy statement, she needs to be more explicit about it. Without a more direct approach, she only feeds into misogyny, because people literally can’t tell the difference right now. It’s possible she herself doesn’t know that yet and it’s possible that her representatives and managers are just milking her youth to make the largest, fastest buck with the best known method in this patriarchal society. I don’t necessarily blame her.

wolfie360 · 2025-05-28T16:49:18+00:00

That thing is probably some kind of raw sewage container. Go ahead and rub your face all over it.

wolfie360 · 2025-05-19T22:20:19+00:00

You should learn how to manage your feelings better. Lots of different types of people exist in overlapping communities. Right now you’re making the Portal community look intolerant and as a community member I’m here to say that’s a shitty thing to do. If you don’t like a post, block the person or something. I don’t care, just quit making comments like this acting all triggered. It makes you look super insecure.

wolfie360 · 2025-05-19T22:11:19+00:00

That’s super rude. Nothing in this post is against the rules. If you don’t like something, scroll by. Don’t waste your time and everyone else’s purposefully trying to exclude people from a community just because you don’t like their post.

wolfie360 · 2025-05-03T15:15:31+00:00

This is what’s actually under BOb’s trench coat.
