You are already a gamer!

I’m a 36 year old woman who grew up playing them with my dad. My sister is a year younger than me get than me. She grew out of it a bit but she still plays “cozy”, low to no pressure games. I like long role playing games with interesting stories.

If you want any recommendations or a new friend to play with, I’m here! I also know of several gaming groups for women.

I’d like to know more about what you’re interested to give better suggestions but here are a few that might pique your interest.

Balatro is a recently popular card game. You can play it on your phone or on a computer. It works sort of like poker, but you apply effects to the cards to multiply your score.

A Little To The Left is a puzzle game. You play the owner of a mischievous cat and your goal is to reorganize the messes that your cat made throughout the house, like sorting the mail, organizing a battery draw, displaying sea shells you collected etc

Unpacking is also a puzzle game. You literally unpack boxes in various rooms. Sometimes it’s hard to make everything fit. As you progress through each level, you learn about the main character’s life.

If you want something more traditional, Ori and the Blind Forest is absolutely beautiful. In that, you play as a small guardian spirit and you navigate through a forest solving puzzles, collecting items, and jumping between platforms (sorta like Mario).

I have direct experience with this.

In college, I got a job on campus in their Environment, Health, and Safety department. Mostly, I just calibrated fume hoods in labs.

During my time there, a hippo at a nearby zoo passed away. I don’t want to be too specific because it can be a bit icky, but they essentially shipped it to us for incineration.

Yeah, Futurama is either incredibly obvious or not at all. There isn’t as much middle ground as I had hoped!

You want me to do two things?

You’re probably right. I was thinking of keeping a running tally of guesses but, I was afraid it would be a lot to do.

I modeled the whole game off the !thesimpsons@lemmy.world’s version.

Honestly, I just wanted to see more Futurama in my feed and I like seeing other users comment their favorite quotes from each episode.

Honestly, I’m about to get downvoted and I don’t mean to be offensive but I’m going to say how I feel.

I’m sorry men are having a hard time, but I don’t care. Men have been on top of the world for all of history and now they are upset because they have to share.

Everyone else has been having a hard time for much longer and if men are having a bad time right now, I guarantee everyone else is suffering a lot more.

And factually, they don’t need male voters to win. Female voters have outnumbered men since 1964 which should tell you something. Women are willing to vote for men, but men can’t be fucking bothered to support women. I’m done walking on eggshells around male egos because men can’t handle their emotions.

Note: I’m aware not every man or woman is like this. I’m generalizing to make a point. There are a lot of great men in my life who don’t feel emasculated when women ask to be respected. And, there are plenty of women that are hurtful to each other.

I have no idea how to rate the difficulty. I watch Futurama everyday and have them memorized, but I assume most aren’t like me.

Yyyyeeeeaaah. It is…an episode.

I’m in my mid 30s and I know a lot of people my age who are like that too. They just aren’t curious about how things function. That’s okay, though. They have other talents that I don’t have.

This made me actually laugh out loud. I’m calling gen z that from now on

I personally don’t, but it’s a sentiment I hear around me from time to time in the workplace or on TV.

I mean that many people just assume younger generations are better with technology.

It’s definitely both but it’s starting to look clearer that a man can potentially overcome the potential policy issue and a woman just can’t.

Oh yeah. It will be bad for everyone, but I meant for liberal candidates in the future.

I should have been more specific.

If the next term doesn’t actively harm people in the public eye, I guarantee they will make it next to impossible to ever win again.

I say this as a woman who is pretty bummed to say this.

I don’t think women candidates can win over enough men to get votes on a national level. Radicalized men aren’t ever going to empathize with women and sure as hell aren’t going to vote for one anytime soon.

Obviously there is a lot more than that, but it’s a big part of it.

I’m worried about this too. It wouldn’t be surprising if Trump dies in the next four years. Vance is not qualified for the job. He’s smarter than Trump though so scheming would be much worse.

He controls one. Hand picked asshats on the bench, and his supporters won Congress. It’s really hard to see a world where this doesn’t get drastically worse for liberals.

Boomers will get theirs. Millennials are once again fucked.

It seems counter intuitive but I don’t think Gen Z is as good with technology as most people assume they are.

I think they just believe everything they see on YouTube and TikTok. Those algorithms just feed people what they want to see and don’t challenge anyone.

Or just let any white man run. I’m sad to say it but this country hates women and it hates people of color.
