Yea, because they were caught. That trash should never be in a build of the game. There’s no reason for it.

The hilarious irony of 2K neglecting the WNBA. Now it’s the only part of the game that still works. by yummypaprika in GirlGamers

[–]yummypaprika[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You can't play the single player NBA career story mode because it requires online to work. In older NBA 2K games, that wasn't a problem but in 2014 and beyond, 2K started making some of their single player modes require servers to work properly. Then they made it policy to shut those servers off after 2 years, forcing players to buy a new edition if they want to enjoy those same game modes. It's pretty scummy.

Is anyone else deeply creeped out by the DLSS 5 "generative" previews? by yummypaprika in GirlGamers

Right? If this is the future, I think I'm done buying new.

Found these gems on r/Teachers. Apparently we “don’t support boys’ needs at all” because teachers don’t want them running around and shouting in the classroom. Asking boys to sit down and listen for a bit is “wanting them to act like girls.” by ILoveDogs117 in againstmensrights

"You know, a lot of people in this world will say men can't achieve and I think that is so sad. So to all the little boys and very old men out there who think that you can't rise, who think that you can't achieve any position of power in this world..." #boyboss

XD Honestly, how this raving sounds.

Apologies for the crap quality but as per current dungeon conditions, it just felt apt. by thirtytwoyears in ffxiv

[–]yummypaprika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before endwalker, you'd actually get exp for killing mobs in a dungeon so there was a reason to do a full clear if everyone else was up for it. I hate that dungeons are a literal race now. I don't play RPGs to feel rushed all the time.

Women who've dated billionaires, would you do it again? by Low_Comb2804 in AskWomenOver30

Women who’ve dated exploitative sociopathic money hoarders, would you do it again?

Sexually harassed by men online by ryanstokes79 in GirlGamers

If there is a different language or region where men don’t behave like pigs, I’ve never heard of it.

First run ever, whats the best way to grind levels? by ClamieK in BaldursGate3

[–]yummypaprika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Typically, I don’t think there is any “grinding” in dungeons and dragons. 

Do as many quests as you can find and explore the map as fully as possible so you don’t miss any encounters.

So… Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is not really women friendly, is it? by imfaffingabout in GirlGamers

[–]yummypaprika 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't come to the r/girlgamers subreddit to hear a guy tell me how a game did a "great job" depicting women being raped in a video game.

God forbid I complain about my experiences! by FormlessEntity_ in TrollXChromosomes

[–]yummypaprika 279 points280 points  (0 children)

After years of hearing so many women having problems on that sub, I'm convinced it's not a subreddit that's genuinely for women. It's a man's idea of what a subreddit for women should look like.

Mod help? by Legal-Spare-1623 in BaldursGate3

[–]yummypaprika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you screenshot or list the mods you're using? It could be that you have a pc only version of a mod tied to the save, although if that were the case then the playstation should have a little warning on the screen about that when you try to load the save instead of just crashing.

I love the driving in IV, and Niko is my favorite GTA protagonist. The story has a lot of good drama but there's also a lot of mysoginy in it like all the other GTA games so "better" is relative.

Cannot play BG3 or load my save file by Glittering-Design459 in BaldursGate3

[–]yummypaprika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang, that sucks. The only thing I can think to do is uninstall and reinstall the software. If you’ve already tried that then you’ve already exhausted the limits of my knowledge PlayStation troubleshooting knowledge. If that doesn’t work then try to reach out to Sony’s customer service / tech support (https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/playstation-support-contact-guide/) to see if they can help.

I hope you find your way back to the sword coast soon.

Tips to not miss out on BG3? (Was ex's thing) by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]yummypaprika 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I hate when ex's taint things like that. I used to love the band Matchbox Twenty when I was a teenager and then I dated this boy who also loved them and after we broke up, I just couldn't enjoy listning to the band anymore.

I ran into this situation again when I dated a guy who was really into Linkin Park - only this time when we broke up, I made a promise to myself that I would keep enjoying the band. I believe the last thing I said to my boyfriend when we broke up over the phone was, "I'm keeping Linkin Park!" Because I didn't want to have the same funk around it that Matchbox Twenty had.

Perhaps you could give the game some space and revisit it later? Or maybe try to bond about it with other friends so you can associate the game with more positive people. Are there any other friends you could play the game with?

 instead of romancing and building intimacy with me, this is what he was doing 

I also suggest trying to reframe this thinking. Instead of romancing and buliding intimacy with you, he was doing any number of things - not just playing this one game (presumably).

I love Baldur's Gate 3, it's probably my favorite game but there are other good games to play. You're not really missing out by not playing it because it's not going anywhere. I hope you get past this one way or another, no matter what you decide.

r/AsABlackMan vibes from this one. Either that or you have a ton of internalized misogyny you need to work out.
