    fem guys already relate to content targeted toward women since their lived experience is closer to that than to the typical man, so no exclusion.

    Shit like this makes my blood boil… “oh, you’re struggling with acceptance and your identity? Well, people ridicule you for not adhering to what boys should be, but the best we can do is offer you stuff targeted at girls because, you know, you’re essentially a girl anyway”. Fuck that. And then telling me about misogyny. Ridiculous.

    we don’t have a duty or obligation to include men in every single conversation.

    This isn’t a female safe space. Posting something here that deliberately leaves out half the population and then complaining that people bring up the stupid line you’re drawing between boys and girls where none is necessary is laughable.








  • So, I had an snes, which I loved, but my taste in games wasn’t great and my parents objected to violence, which means my collection is a bit weird.

    One game I loved which wasn’t universally acknowledged to be great, was Clayfighter. It was essentially a Street Fighter clone, but the assets were all modelled in clay and animated using stop motion technique.

    I think it got a lot of flak for being not well balanced and a little slow, so it kind of just didn’t stand out beyond the obvious classics of that genre, but man, I loved it. I couldn’t get Street Fighter because of my parents, but they were fine with clayfighter’s look and more humorous approach. At the same time, it still was a good beat em up, so I spent hours with it. Also, it kind of gave me an edge as SF2 was just the game everybody had, so at least I had a fun game to spend an hour with that people hadn’t played to death already.

    The samples will remain burned into my memories forever. “The Blob Wins!!” Good times.
