It's why a lot of black guys get mental health problems. Thinking every non black person is a hateful racist is not healthy. On one hand it's very sad on the other one you have to test yourself and think better of people or you end up seeing racial microaggressions everywhere and it's downhill from there.

I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunities to travel and holiday a lot, in places that I would have thought would be dicey for a black guy like me, places in Europe, south east Asia, and south america. But you arrive and the majority of people are friendly and welcoming.

I think what a lot of those gaffers need to admit is they're scared of stepping out of their comfort zones.

Last week I had to travel Southwest (I know, pray for me) and since it was a seat yourself thing I sat myself to a college or just post college aged black guy. He looked at my business get up and was like "I bet you're sitting next to me because you think no one else is going to sit next to the black guy." I was like, "No, you have slim shoulders. See that white guy over there? He's the same height as you but he's got broad shoulders. Slim shoulders means more elbow room."

I haven't seen that much passive aggressiveness so quick on a flight.


It was like I met AiA's insecure brother or something.

There's really no reason to post that on GAF unless you knew what you were doing. He didn't want an actual dialogue, he wanted to stir up shit about racism, classism, sexism, etc. What possible dialogue would there be to have? "Oh that's neat!" Uh-huh.

I can't believe that "pc games are cheaper" is an actual thing for some people, as you can't even resell them. Unless you are some hoarder that wants to keep stuff you never use.

If you are a day 1 gamer and buy 12 games a year on console you will spend around 3600 dollars in 5 years. But you can easily sell off each game for 60/70% of it's worth within the first 2/3 months. Meaning in the end you'd have spent 1440 bucks max for 60 games, which is like 24 bucks a game.

On PC you will pay 10 bucks less per game but you can't resell them, meaning that the same 60 games will cost you 3000 bucks. which is 50 bucks a game. Which is double the price.

[VomKriege]

I don't think everyone "resell games at 60% their value within three months" and I'd wager it's actually not what the majority does ? A lot of people do keep their games (whether they actually play them a few years after or not). Same with buying 12 games a year, is that common and what the audience at large do ? Seems very high to me, but maybe I'm wrong.

I don't think it's wrong to say that PC games offer greater variety at a lower price upfront.

[WanderingWind]

but u cant sell pc games at gamestop for 3 dollars checkmate pc mustardrace!

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yes because 70% of 60 bucks is 3 dollars. If you sell your games to Gamestop you are distinguished mentally-challenged.

I think that keeping a game collection is pretty weird and I don't know anyone that does that irl as an adult. But I guess some people like looking at boxes.

I sell all my games after I'm bored or finished with them.

And it doesn't matter what the majority does, just talking about common sense.

[archnemesis]

I don't sell games and for me PC games are definitely cheaper. The initial asking price is often lower and it drops way faster.

PC hardware, on the other hand, is more expensive.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Do you buy games day 1 on pc or wait for sales?

For example, I pre-ordered Rise of the Tomb raider now for PS4 (20th Anniversary edition) for such a low price I will probably sell it at a profit when I finish it in 2/3 weeks after launch.

[archnemesis]

I will buy Civ 6 on day one. Most other games are from sales, or even for free these days.

I paid €2.39 for Tomb Raider on Steam.

Even if you buy on day one or pre-order, you can get most new PC games for around €30. The Rise of the Tomb Raider Anniversary edition is currently €31 at my preferred store. I believe that particular shop usually sells keys from Eastern European retail versions (EU countries, so no VPN or geoblocking nonsense).

[Cerveza mas fina]

Thats great value if you want to keep them indeed.

I think I only buy digital under 20 bucks, or Blizzard.

Within this post (/mini-essay/20k word dissertation), I'm going to give an overview of the female characters in the game, and analyse them from a feminist and narrative perspective, and explain why I am deeply troubled by what we have been shown, and why I anticipate that, as a woman playing video games, I am going to find myself very disappointed (probably even angry) with Final Fantasy XV when I finally play it.

A few notes, before I begin in earnest:

    I am aware that the majority of GAF users are cis, heterosexual, white, American men. I am also aware that GAF is a much more liberal, welcoming and open-minded place than most others on the Internet when it comes to discussions of women's and minority rights. I am perfectly happy posting this here because I know that even if people disagree, discussion is going to be civil and respectful. Many men on GAF would even refer to themselves as feminists, which I think is great! However, I have to argue that, when it comes to the rather touchy topic of female characters in video games, men tend to approach this discussion from a place of inherent male privilege. Even if your knee-jerk reaction is to disagree with everything I'm saying, I would love it if you could think over what I've said and perhaps take some of my comments into consideration.

This is gonna be a good one.

Is Lady a strong female character because she kicks ass and doesn't listen to no man? Or is she weak because of her outfit.

I can't tell and don't care anymore when it comes to stupid video games.

At this point XV threads are the most annoying video game threads in existence. All Filled with nothing but crying. Crying about some dumb Waifu character that doesn't exist anymore but I guess was cool because she had a sword. Crying about an overly sexy character while ignoring that the dudes are also all hitting the female fetishes. Crying about if a princess character is strong or not which because even more annoying when the sticking point is she isn't strong because she doesn't have a sword or some shit?  Just so much crying on gaf. Who even enjoys games these days? Every little thing is a big statement that needs to analyzed and thrown through the ringer.


They make sexy characters. They made a female character who isn't a fighter. Get over it.

I don't even want to enter threads about games with female characters. Between the Waifu wankfest tournaments and the argument on rather they are the holy virgin or not Mary of some narrow minded ideal of feminism, the discussions are maddening and a race to see who can be the most outraged or ignorant.

Oh noes! That book/movie/music/game I bought for $10-20 is no longer being used! *faints*


Whooooooooooooo carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrres? Most folks aren't selling their stuff like you, so digital benefits them in the sense that that stuff isn't cluttering anything other than their hard-drive. Your arguing that PC doesn't let you sell and thereby your stuff just clutters. The thing is: Most people don't buy day-one on PC and if they do it's something they really wanted.

I want to play the Division to go through the story, but I haven't bought it yet. Why? Because I know it'll be $10-30 in a few months, so I can wait. And when I'm done? So what if I can't sell it?

It's like being outraged someone is buying porn DVD's or whatever. Just dumb outrage.

Also my point was pointing out your fallacy:

I think that keeping a game collection is pretty weird and I don't know anyone that does that irl as an adult. But I guess some people like looking at boxes.
