The Internet Has Spoken:  And It Hates Mitt Romney Exactly As Much As It Loves Giant Boobs.

I should have picked a VF-1, all these little lines across the fuselage and wings are going to be a pain

I screwed up the orientation on this one bad. I had it the wrong way starting, then I flipped it. I shouldn't have flipped it once it started.

I remember something about iPhones autorotating the video if you turned it, but I guess not

What I've spent all day on

Someone stole the walls

And Tenryuu

Got a laptop to use for a while

Tried to get through my month backlog of tumbl

It ain’t happenin

Classes are over so here's the stuff from my sketchbook so far

Internet died on Sunday and I've been going to my Aunt's and playing on a flash drive while doing laundry and making pumpkin bread and whatnot. Battleship Hime would shoot someone to crit almost every time I'd sortie, and if I got the southern route I'd never get to the boss at all. The first node of the south route would crit some of my ships. Every time I did get to the boss though, Tenryuu would fire a 250 damage torpedo attack and kill CL Oni in one hit every time. The second to last time she got to orange just before night and still pulled a one shot kill and I got Nagato. Tenryuu is the stronk.

Female Portrayals in Video Games

Recently Overwatch released a new character, citing complaintsof a lack of ‘body diversity’.  Now, Idon’t like the character but that’s for a variety of reasons and that’ll becoming at a later date.  No, what really botheredme was this argument and the implications for a common trend in representation of women in video games.

To add some context, I’m a gay woman and I want to be a game dev.  I’ve loved video games and been a gamer for close to 15 years.  And I really feel there are pressing issues with the arguments for ‘representation of women in video games’.  I’ve made similar rants about this general topic before and you can find my most successful one here.

If you’re concerned with women, body types, representation, etc, I suggest you give me a fair shake and read all the way to the end.  More under the break.

Game Forums

Game's Official Forums: People who's IQ is lower than the room tempurature. Forum is just a "complaint box" to them. Call outs to the game's devs. Unironic "XD".

Reddit: People trying way too hard to make jokes with game's material, usually resorting to old and shitty memes. Upvote whoring. Full of "ideas people" making suggestions on how to make the game "better". Echo-chamber.

4Chan: Will go to any length to prove said game is shit, even in the game's own general thread. Extreme pessimism. Accuses anyone who has a shit opinion of being from reddit.

Steam Forums: Smug Circlejerks. Repetition of the same jokes and memes almost every thread. People who play the trade market. Elitists.

Tumblr: Only likes the game for the characters and fanart. Ships. People who probably don't even own the game. Complaints about the most inconsequential shit like what someone's skin color is.
