Not even being sarcastic; I am completely open to suggestions and constructive criticism.

That's a pretty harmful word though, my guy, kind of antiquated. There are better insults, like "cock-brained" or "silly stupid little groundfuckers", to name a few suggestions.

Lolol. Win some, lose some, it doesn't really matter. I made my point and am satisfied with that; it's anyone's right to disagree with me.

And if I am in the wrong for wanting a better community, then the state of humanity just makes me a little more sad. Far from surprised, however.

I mean, call them asses. Maybe they don't care, maybe they do, but we keep the problem relevant by being vocal against this kind of thing. To not do anything at all is to encourage trolls.

The sentiment is that we all have a responsibility to hold our community accountable for this type of behavior.

You can disagree, it is likely a matter of philosophy. I feel a responsibility to try to put more positive influence to the world, and to call out harmful actions. Not everyone does, that is fine too, albeit a little sad.

Well that felt unkind. The distinction between male and female is being made because the modder states men are sexually harassing her. There are other forms of harrassment listed, but it seems reasonable to make a distinction since there is a sexual nature to part of it.

 

I think gamers as a whole, though specifically those in niche communities, need to take a long and hard look at themselves. We should celebrate the volunteers that create wonderful content for us, generally with no financial gain. Instead, commonly, there are communities that criticize and tear down every little thing they can think of. They even went as far as to doxx the poor woman. We need to be better, and we need to hold these kind of toxic trolls accountable. Especially those of us who are men, we have a responsibility to call out other men who mistreat women in the gaming industry, or gaming in general.

*Edit: I apologize if I insinuated that all gamers are guilty of this kind of behavior, that was not my intention at all. My sentiment is that many of us do not think about this kind of thing, and less are willing to speak out against their friends. We need to be better about that as a whole. I appreciate you as a person if you are already of this mindset.

I love my friends and make sure they know that, personally.

Idk, he looks like a perfectly attractive man, in my opinion.

This year they came out in droves, to the point where their sound was ear-splitting and drowned out most of the cars on the major road I live on. The sound is one of the worst things I have ever heard (intense bug phobia).. so yeah, fuck everything about this.

I mean.. technically she wanted to live Nowhere.

My man, you gotta know that word was banned by the Social Decency Act of 2407.

I'll be real straight with you, Chief, I already shit my pants for the thrill of it before making these comments.

A Warning on Dosage (lemmy.world)

Make sure you watch your labels. My Dr changed the individual lamictal MG from four 100mg, to two 200mg. No one told me, and I didn't notice and ended up taking 800mg for a week. I ended up in the emergency room with the inability to see properly, and couldn't keep myself standing. So yeah, I overdosed on twice the maximum dosage, which damn near killed me - all because my Dr randomly changed my prescription and no one told me about it. Maybe I should have noticed, but I had the same prescription for the last 6 years.

So my point is, don't be like me, make sure you read your labels. It could be your life, and a lot of pain and fear if you're not observant

This has probably been asked before, but I was hoping to hear what method people have had the most success with. My wife won't let me get any more games unless I make room on the bookshelf lol.

 

I'm going with a couple of friends, and was just wondering if there's anything I should know, or do in particular? First time going to something like this.

 

This is Nelson. He's honestly fine with it.
