Yuck. I actually had pals on the security team at my mall who actually came quite in handy when a dude wouldn’t catch the drift.

Oh, no, definitely not. But using it as a noun - “one of them being a female” rather than “one of them being a woman” - is again, reducing her to biology in my eyes. But I can see how people would view it differently. It just sets me off. Pet peeve, is all.

Personally I think using it as a specification - like female teacher, male nurse, etc - is fine. You’re using it as an adjective. But I think calling a woman “a female” is essentially reducing her to her biological function, you feel? You don’t see men being referred to as “males” in the same kind of situation.

I always enjoyed when shitty men who wanted “a man’s opinion” on new games would go to my coworkers, who would then go “ask RoseRevolution, she plays more than I do”

My favorite story was actually when I worked at a tea store. Dude talked me up for about five minutes, then went, “You want to go for a cup of coffee sometime?” to which just dramatically gestured to all of the everything in the store until he got embarrassed and left

Yep! I cannot tell you how many times that I had a legitimately interesting conversation with a dude about video games only for him to go immediately into “please let me buy you drinks” territory after about five minutes. Like, come on, dude.

I’m glad that my bosses at my stores supported me 100% in telling creepy dudes to fuck off

Particularly during my GameStop days there was a lot of “you know a lot about video games! You wanna meet for coffee sometime??”

“It’s their job and livelihood to at least appear that they’re friendly with you.”
This. Exactly this. I worked retail for a number of years and I eventually just stopped being /overly/ nice to people because I ended up with too many guys asking for my number. 

Agreed wholeheartedly on the first letter, Doc. Dude needs to realize that Amy is just a crush for him because she’s THERE and his actual girlfriend is NOT. Also, dude, you’re 22. Calm down. Poly or not, you’re still suuuuuper young. If you wanna take a few years and date around and see what works, I don’t think…

Right. At the end of the day they’re making an all-ages console. It makes far more sense for a plastic screen when it comes to children who are going to want to play Mario.

Just got married on the 24th. Bought a Switch, pro controller and the special edition of Zelda anyway.

Literally the only time I’ve experienced frame rate issues is when I’m in a densely populated area and I do a camera sweep to try and see everything. And even that it’s just noticeable, but not horrendous.

that’ll never happen

Only thing possibly worse than the 360 launch was the Saturn launch. For wildly different reasons, but still.

I’m generally inclined to agree but I think part of the problem is wig heads are smaller than human heads most of the time. So it probably looks better on an actual person.

Some of those are okay, and some are really not great. That Yugi is a fucking trainwreck. The natural-looking cuts all look pretty solid but anything with more styling involved just looks like shit. I know too many cosplayers (aka hair styling amateurs, not professionals) who have pulled off Yugi, Aqua and others much…

I’m slightly terrified but it’s also really cute??

I don’t think Marvel Studios would ever go this violent with one of their films. They seem content to leave this kind of content to their Netflix series.

It’s not a Marvel film, it’s a Fox film using Marvel characters.
