    [OW] So we have a trailer for Sombra/Ana now.

    Well I can't speak for others, but this is an improvement of the usual design of female characters in Overwatch and a first old lady that looks old and sounds old in the same way old male characters do. On top of that, she has sensible non-revealing and non-form fitting attire (will probably...

    Poll: Constant 30FPS or Variable 60FPS

    I prefer constant 30. It really annoys me when the fps counter jumps all over the place or has major dips. I'd rather play at a constant 30. And I'm a weirdo who prefers lower fps rate due to having issues with motion sickness (higher fps tends to give me headaches).

    So, how many dudes here roll a female character? Also vice versa?

    Yeah, same. I can totally enjoy something historically inaccurate, but I do wish we as a society made more effort to make sure people learn the real thing as well. Especially when it comes to inclusion and diversity. To so many people, it's weird to have people of color in Europe pre-modern...

    So, how many dudes here roll a female character? Also vice versa?

    Yeah, that's true. Unfortunately. We receive so much of our "knowledge" from popular culture and outdated material that it's legitimately strange to people when something is actually historically correct. I mean, we should look no further than dinosaurs. No one will risk making a movie with...

    So, how many dudes here roll a female character? Also vice versa?

    You know, I hear this a lot and, as a woman, it's really strange to me. Men and women are different because they are different individuals and because we impose heavy gender norms on all individuals based on their gender. But there's nothing inherently gendered about personalities, interests...

    AC movie trailer and video game based movies

    I thought the trailer was really good. Agreed on the music though, doesn't really fit, but I didn't find it that distracting. Assassin's Creed has a setting interesting enough to make it a movie, without relying on the games too much. Which seems it's exactly what they did. Took the...

    Overwatch open beta - What are your impressions?

    Personally, Symmetra ended up being my favorite to play with and I found her much more durable than many others I've tried. Of course, there's a lot of personal preference and play style to consider, but I ended up piling 10 killstreaks without dying. I learned where exactly to place sentry...

    Poll: Pokemon Sun & Moon (New Trailer) Which version and starter will you choose?

    My exact line of thinking. Helps that they are both fire (I guess the Sun legendary is fire, looks like it) and that's my favorite type. I never chose any starter other than fire, and now I'm finally getting a fire kitty starter. Also, the game looks gorgeous. Really impressed by the...

    The boys club

    Complaining is sometimes the only thing you can do to relieve yourself of stress. And sometimes, when a lot of people join in, things can move forward. Of course, complaining isn't the only thing people do. Most people who speak about this also look at viable ways of changing things. I...

    The boys club

    Well, I think it's for the best to start complaining the moment we realize there's an issue, instead of waiting for the issue to become even worse. The longer we wait and allow for the status quo to continue, the harder it will be to eliminate it from the culture. Also, I wouldn't exactly...

    The boys club

    Yeah, that is a huge problem; lack of support. Hell, even my very liberal parents still cling to this type of thinking often. It's just how things were for the longest of times and it's difficult to remove that from society. It definitely helps when we speak out about this, especially when we're...

    The boys club

    Hello neighbour :) This is interesting because our two countries share a lot, so we're practically talking about very similar cultures. Two of my friends are in similar professions and their colleges were also almost entirely devoid of women. Your group is definitely a boys club. Your...

    Breast Sizes and Complaints

    I'd also like to add that I find this obsession with cups really weird because most people (a lot of women too) really have no idea what " cup" mean. Like, a lot of men will hear "D cup" and immediately imagine something that could not further from reality because the whole thing with cups is...

    Ooooookay. Why is the term "Mary Sue" being thrown around like paint?

    Totally agree with this. A lot of visual and otherwise established stuff was pretty apparent to me on my first watch and only more obvious on my second. It continues to be surprising to me how many people ignore, for example, the deadly power of the bowcaster and shrug off Kylo's wounds as not...

    Ooooookay. Why is the term "Mary Sue" being thrown around like paint?

    True, regarding the "garbage" comment. But her knowing exact extra installments inside of it heavily implies that she saw them before or at least heard about it in detail. Which definitely shows some familiarity with the Falcon. Technically, yeah, I guess they could've included a line where she...
