Racists hate this simple trick.

Believe me, the world is better off not seeing me in a short skirt and thigh highs.

I like girls. I like how they look, I like the way they sound, I LOVE their fashion options. It isn’t really any deeper than that. That said, I’ll usually always play a male character in a Souls title, because [insert valid reason for inconsistency here.]

EDIT: I guess if I had to further expand on this, I’d say that female characters give me a way to explore options I don’t have as a tall, bearded, broad, ‘built’ man. I’ve always loved cuteness, hyperfeminine fashion, “girly stuff”, and so in addition to just really, really liking girls, video games allow me to explore the cute, feminine avenues I can’t in the real world.

Also, as another commenter stated, I’d also just rather look at a girl’s ass than a guy’s for the entirety of a playthrough lmao

Those are certainly words.

2014 wasn’t a decade… ago, oh my fucking god.

I don’t understand how people find it so difficult to just stop spending their money on shit they don’t need. You have to treat yourself occasionally, but I’ll never understand those who anyways have to buy the newest thing.

My car is over ten years old. I still use a Pixel 4. I don’t own any fancy clothes, new consoles, TV’s, etc. and I’m perfectly happy. I run my own business and put money aside, ensuring I’m not going to go hungry if shit hits the fan, which is always a very real possibility. The last nice thing I bought myself was a gaming laptop, and that was just to replace my old one which got me through a good 5 years of use.

People need to start being happy with less. It’s really, really easy to do, and you’ll likely find yourself feeling happier not giving a fuck about the New Thing… or maybe I’m just getting older and my priorities have changed.

EDIT: I should note that this is aimed at people who complain about having money issues, but who go out and spend it on things they don’t need and then blame anything but their own actions. If your dopamine hits come from buying stuff, and you’re all good with that, more power to you.

Corporate dystopia, total government control over privacy and autonomy, climate crises, mandatory state-issued ID required to access a highly-restricted internet, ‘subscription plans’ infecting nearly every industry to destroy the concept of individual private ownership, personal finances with ‘expiry dates’ via the use of CBDC’s and subversive savings taxes…

Yeah, I’ll take the 1960’s, thanks. The future is bleak. I don’t intend to live long if freedom, privacy, and individualism are the first liberties on the chopping block, which worryingly seems to be the case.
