The Awkward Silence

1:00 PM

@AlexRobinson Speedrunners don't care about what they play as ... as long as it's faster :p You're skipping all the skippable things anyway

Alex Robinson

oh yeah, like, the choice is important but not for gender reasons lol

i do love speedrunning. it makes you really think about games differently

Belle

I prefer it when a game doesn't insist that you are one of two characters (or a few variations), like pokémon does. I think Dishonored 2 does this really well. At some point in the game, it pauses and you get the opportunity to choose if you want to continue as Corvo or as Emily.

It never gets suggested that you are Corvo or Emily. You just control them.

Imus

@Belle Wait, that example is exactly insisting on you being one of two characters?

JAD

@Belle again

7 mins ago, by Imus

@Belle you mean breaking the 4th wall instead of going for immersion?

Alex Robinson

i want cyberpunk 2077 to release already so i can be a cyborg enby already >:)

Belle

1:05 PM

Aren't both options breaking the fourth wall? "Are you left or right?" or "Continue as left or right?".

Imus

I remember a discussion with my wife about that exact same thing, where she wondered why many men (or male identifying people) would pick a girl avatar to play "as". She identifies strongly with the character she's controlling. It's a stronger immersion into the game. My counterpoint was: Well, what if I see it as a character I'm controlling instead of what "I am"? It's more fun looking at a sexy girl in bikini shaking across my screen then always looking at a man's ass ... at least for me :p

JAD

Either both are and I am wondering whether the wording is such a massive difference, or they are not.

AGirlHasNoName

@Belle yeah if you are going to allow for presentation it needs to have a wide range of possible options.

Alex Robinson

@Imus r/egg_irl ;)

avazula

@AlexRobinson +10000

I can't wait for CP77!!

Alex Robinson

1:08 PM

is it planned to support ray tracing? i can't recall off the top of my head...

avazula

@AlexRobinson not sure

Alex Robinson

i just checked, it IS

avazula

I wouldn't be surprised, though

oh yay

Alex Robinson

time to flex my rtx 2060 in all its glory

JAD

@Imus That has the end at some point: I'm not running over rooftops murdering people in Rome.

Belle

1:09 PM

And doesn't the menu break the fourth wall already? If you get the choice immediately after the menu, during character creation or whatever, is it really an issue?

JAD

@Belle if the difference is just the menu, what are we talking about even?

I don't get why the distinction between controlling a character and "being" a character is such a big deal to begin with

Alex Robinson

its not a big deal, but its an interesting exercise in philosophy

Imus

@JAD Controlling a character in a binary world is a bit annoying. Being a character that you can't really identify with I would assume is harder for non-binary folks. But I can only guess :)

Alex Robinson

it can be, but it varies greatly from person to person

JAD

@Imus So how does it work with games where there is no customisation whatsoever?

Imus

1:14 PM

I was a bit dissapointed that the Sylvari in Guild Wars 2 required to specify a gender too ... they're plant people ... should've been non-gendered altogether to make it more interesting

@JAD Then you're playing the story of a specific person

Belle

If you're making an avatar for yourself, you want to feel represented by it, don't you? If on the other hand, you're just controlling the character, that doesn't matter. That character is not you.

JAD

Pokemon never felt to me as making an avatar tbh

Imus

Pokemon just should not ask the question at all :p

Like most games don't

JAD

Might as well have played as Ash and nothing would be different

Alex Robinson

in pokemon you are't making an avatar, atleast not until gen 7 when there was basic customisation

idk about gen6, but certainly gen 5 and below was boy or girl

Belle

1:16 PM

Yet they ask you what your name is and if you're a boy or a girl.

Tinkeringbell

"would you like to play as a boy or a girl" would probably have been better?

Imus

@Tinkeringbell No, less immersive :p

Tinkeringbell

But yeah, for some games, binary stuff can be a bit of a problem, I guess...

Alex Robinson

@Tinkeringbell "neither please"

Tinkeringbell

@AlexRobinson Okay, then you play as a ditto :P

Imus

1:18 PM

@Tinkeringbell they said "neither" not "both" :p

Tinkeringbell

Or a Pikachu. That'd be fun. To be able to pick 'neither', and then be assigned a Pikachu :)

Alex Robinson

@Tinkeringbell i see this as an absolute win

Belle

@Tinkeringbell I think it would have. Or no text at all, just a visible selection and a name box.

Tinkeringbell

@AlexRobinson Thought you might :)

(If I ever get the jokes wrong, lemme know :) )

Mithical

@AlexRobinson Time travel!

Alex Robinson

1:18 PM

lets be honest. who doesn't want irl character customisation

Mithical

I mean... it (sorta) exists, just ridiculously expensive...

Plastic surgery and the like.

JAD

Not to the point of Dark Souls character creation

lol

Imus

@AlexRobinson you mean selecting what your children will look like? Plenty of people are strongly opposed to doing that :p

JAD

(and I hope nobody ever looks like that)

Mithical

Some people have, for instance, gotten surgery to make ears pointed.

Belle

1:20 PM

Just think for a moment about how Sims does it. You can create a character. You can make it represent you, name it after you, you can create your whole family or you can create a fictional character. At no point it is ever suggested that the character is you or is not you.

Alex Robinson

@Imus not quite infact

Imus

@Belle True, but you're not really playing AS that character. The whole game is about you telling your character(s) what to do, not really doing it yourself

Different kind of immersion in the first place :)

Tinkeringbell

@Mithical Does piercing ears count to?

Alex Robinson

@Imus i'd disagree. you can be yourself in the sims if thats what you desire. you can be someone else, its open ended and entirely up to the user

Mithical

That's a bit less of a drastic modification ;)

JAD

1:22 PM

@Mithical duckduckgo.com/…

@AlexRobinson most games are like that though

Mithical

@JAD fair enough

Alex Robinson

@JAD i think thats a hard generalisation to defend. certainly in most of the games i play its "you are X character"

Belle

@JAD I disagree. There are a lot of games where you are playing you, even though you looks or feels nothing like you.

JAD

@AlexRobinson I think it's kinda in the definition of role-playing games that you don't necessarily play yourself

I mean, you can. But you don't necessarily have to.

Alex Robinson

i think given how diverse video games are, it doesn't hold up as a generalisation so well

Belle

1:25 PM

@JAD That would be okay, if you get the choice of playing as someone else, even someone you made up on the spot.

Alex Robinson

square enix games are all about playing through someone else's story as if it were a book

and i love doing that

JAD

@Mithical The game has a random face option which iterates on itself if you spam click it. It slowly but surely drifts towards more and more deformed faces

Ok, I think we are discussing way too broadly without any specifics. Take an rpg as skyrim. It has extensive character creation options, with the possibility to name characters after yourself. That doesn't mean it's the only way to play the game.

Belle

@JAD Absolutely. The npc asks "who are you?" to your character, it's not the game asking the player.

JAD

Take Pokémon: you're playing some random kid, and you get to pick a name and sex for it.

Imus

@Belle isn't that how most games do it? :o

JAD

1:28 PM

(Prof. Oak wisely doesn't assume gender)

Belle

@Imus Far from, unfortunately. Many games actually ask the player who they are.

Alex Robinson

oh yay we've looped back to pokemon

@Belle my name is A and my goal is to beat pokemon faster than ever before

Imus

@Belle Only depends on how you're reading the character creation menu's :p

JAD

@Belle I don't see how there's a difference between asking the character their name or asking the player what the character's name is. All the latter leads to is the character using that input to tell their name to people

It's splitting hairs and ends up with a character is a name given by the player.

Belle

@JAD There's no difference between those. There is a difference between asking what the character's name is and what the player's name is.

I recently answered a question for the first time on this SE. It received one comment about sharing the source of my opinion and the typical copy and paste "welcome" comment. Less than a day later, it got deleted. Even though I've been reading this SE for quite a while, I never heard of the "ba...

Alex Robinson

Celeste handles this really well

you have a "character name" and then if you get into cutscenes, the game asks you if you want to use your name and it makes parts of the journey feel really really personal - without displaying your name on the savefile

avazula

@IntrovertedMetaMan AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE

Belle

@avazula pewpew

Alex Robinson

pewpew!

avazula

I'm considering changing my username to pewpew /s

Alex Robinson

1:35 PM

boo remove the /s

become pew pew

Belle

@AlexRobinson That choice sounds really nice :)

Alex Robinson

@Belle mhm! its a fantastic game that i believe is free on the epic games store or like £10 on steam, and one of my favourites ever.

Imus

@AlexRobinson I think it was free for a week on epic games

Alex Robinson

unrelated note: does anyone know any good breathing exercises. i need to calm down because a supplier has left me enraged

Imus

during one of their weekly actions

probably not anymore now :)

Tinkeringbell

1:47 PM

@AlexRobinson Oh, I can help... breathe in!

Alex Robinson

@Imus ah that'd be it

@Tinkeringbell go on lol

JAD

@AlexRobinson and hurry!

Imus

@AlexRobinson breath in through your nose ... hold for at least 1 second ... breath out through your mouth for 3 (or more) seconds

repeat until calm

Tinkeringbell

@AlexRobinson Oh, just stick with that for a minute or two, and the rage will be gone! :P

JAD

@Tinkeringbell Try breathing out in the meantime too

Imus

1:48 PM

if you cannot breath out for at least 3 seconds, make sure to breath in deeper first

Alex Robinson

ty all ^^

Imus

@JAD No, their whole point was to not breath out. When you pass out you're calm again :p

JAD

gotcha

Tinkeringbell

In case someone is struggling with the mixed signals: Yes, we do like Alex!

JAD

forever calm

Imus

1:50 PM

@JAD not really forever ... your body starts breathing on it's own again after you pass out

at some point you wake up again, and probably be panicked soon after once you realise what's happened

JAD

@Imus unless it doesn't

Rainbacon

Whoa, half of chat got new avatars

avazula

@Rainbacon don't be mean! Only three people did! :p

Tinkeringbell

Only two...

Belle

Hate me if you must, but I like asmr videos to calm me down. (the rain or calming whispers kind are best imo)

avazula

1:50 PM

Also, hiya

Tinkeringbell

Three?

Who's the third?

Did I miss something while I got a haircut?

avazula

@Belle THANK YOU! I'm not the only weirdo

@Tinkeringbell @AJ did :)

Tinkeringbell

@avazula Ohhh!

Rainbacon

@avazula @Belle I like them too

avazula

@Tinkeringbell also: you got a haircut?! :D

Tinkeringbell

1:51 PM

Yep, I missed something :)

@avazula Just to make all the ends the same length again, I hadn't been for almost two years so it was a bit uneven ;)

avazula

@Tinkeringbell I can relate to that :p

Tinkeringbell

I got compliments for my haircare though... (washing twice a week, conditioner once a month ... didn't tell her that :P). No dead/split ends, just uneven :D

Rainbacon

@avazula Oh, I hadn't even seen AJ's new avatar

avazula

@Rainbacon btw, are you a sleep walker? Some people in here were convinced of that earlier ;)

Rainbacon

I used to when I was little, why were people convinced of this?

Belle

1:57 PM

@Rainbacon Blame @mith :P

Alex Robinson

asmr is great, but i prefer to listen to it when i'm in a safe comfy place at home, not my office

avazula

You popped in here at what was like 5AM in NYC?

Belle

@AlexRobinson I actually listen to asmr in the office and I have no shame ;)

avazula

@Belle me too!

Rainbacon

Hmm, maybe my computer woke up from sleep?

Alex Robinson

1:58 PM

i like to associate asmr with being relaxed which is why i dont

JAD

4 hours ago, by avazula

wth is Rain doing here at this time?

Alex Robinson

low key tryna pavlov myself

avazula

@JAD hey! that's not nice to denounce me! :p

Belle

I don't think being relaxed at work is a bad thing

JAD

@avazula I was trying to find a timestamp

Rainbacon

2:00 PM

@avazula Almost 5am exactly. Nice timezoning!

Belle

I usually go for videos at home though, and white noise on spotify (like rain) in the office.

Rainbacon

It was 5:01 NYC time, and I was definitely asleep

Imus

sleeping/studying music usually :) Currently studio ghibli piano songs

Alex Robinson

i listen to music at work, i listen to music everywhere

avazula

@Rainbacon I guessed? Darn, that was unexpected

Belle

2:07 PM

Woop, my cosplay pattern arrived. Time to have a look :D

Imus

@Belle pics or it didn't happen ;)

avazula

@Belle ever heard about Tide? That's a nice app in which you can create a relaxing melody based on white-noise-like sounds

Mithical

@AlexRobinson In a box, with a fox...

Belle

@avazula Nope. Downloading now.

Mithical

I've constantly got Spotify playing, even if I'm not actively listening (although I often am), because the more streams = more payment to the artists

(that was a decision I made after seeing how little they get paid per stream)

Rainbacon

2:15 PM

@Mithical How little do they get paid per stream?

Alex Robinson

god, this one song just came on and it gives me literal chills every time...

Mithical

between 0.003 and 0.006 USD

IIRC

Rainbacon

That's more than I was expecting, but certainly less than they deserve

Mithical

anyway, y'all can listen along if you want ;)

Alex Robinson

i love spotify listening parties... its just a shame i can't actually install spotify on my work laptop :/

Rainbacon

2:19 PM

@AlexRobinson That is a shame

Alex Robinson

i wanted to get driver booster + a few optimisation programs a while back but it turns out they don't want us installing anything... which does kinda make sense, but still

Rainbacon

That's one of the perks of being a developer, we have to install so much stuff, that they usually just give us admin access to the machines (IMO everyone should have admin access over their computer, but maybe I'm too trusting)

Mithical

@Rainbacon are you "rainbacon" on Spotify as well? :)

Rainbacon

Yes I am

Did you find me?

Mithical

yes

found you before I asked :P

@Mod ppls, does this sound right for what you can do once you've edited your deleted answer?

> Once you feel the answer is up to spec, you can A. flag the answer as custom and leave a message for the moderators letting them know you think it's in a state to be undeleted. B. Hop into chat with us and mention you've fixed up a deleted answer and you want some eyes/opinions on it. Or C. You can write a meta post for clarification if you feel nothing's been done.

Alex Robinson

@Rainbacon i am a relatively tech savvy person and know to not download bad stuff... some people still have windows 7 and have no idea how to do relatively basic stuff...

scohe001

Am I missing something there?

Tinkeringbell

@scohe001 Nope!

Alex Robinson

i'd mention that A or B are encouraged over C

Rainbacon

@scohe001 I don't know, I've never had an answer undeleted

scohe001

2:24 PM

Awesome, thanks!

Tinkeringbell

Perhaps, the difference between mod-deleted (needs a mod to undelete too) and community deleted (can be undeleted after editing by yourself, but most people don't know that and I don't want to tell everyone actually now that I think about it :P )

Alex Robinson

i didn't know there was a difference tbh

Tinkeringbell

> Normally, if your deleted post is not self-deleted, you can't undelete it yourself (though you'll be able to vote to undelete as long as a moderator didn't delete it). An exception is if an answer is deleted from Low Quality review queue by "Recommend Deletion" reviews, without three trusted users voting to delete, then it can be undeleted by the author.

scohe001

Yea, I didn't want to go too far into the nuances of deletion :p

Mithical

Mod deleted needs a moderator to undelete. Three delete votes need three undelete votes. Deleted via review with six "recommend deletion" reviews is the only one that can be undeleted by yourself.

Ill keep my pic the same for a while so that at least one person doesn't change. (I can't imagine @Tink being anything but a parrot either)

Mithrandir24601

@AlexRobinson Yeah, no idea

@Mithical Ah, it's just going to get busy, most likely :/

Rainbacon

@AGirlHasNoName Oooh, it just now occurred to me that Mith changed their name too :o

AGirlHasNoName

Yeh I didn't notice at first until @Mith showed up and commented on it.

Rainbacon

@AGirlHasNoName I remember back when Tink was a giraffe

Belle

2:44 PM

I think Tink was a different parrot before too. With more blue.

AGirlHasNoName

@Rainbacon She was? That doesn't sound like her at all...

avazula

@Belle darn that's cool

AGirlHasNoName

@Belle as long as it was a parrot

Tinkeringbell

@Belle Yep, I still have that one on Twitter.

avazula

@AGirlHasNoName It used to indeed

Rainbacon

2:45 PM

Yeah, I think there were maybe 2 different giraffe pics before she evolved into a parrot

avazula

Sorry @Tink :p

Alex Robinson

@Rainbacon what a brilliant phrase to have with no context

Tinkeringbell

@Rainbacon Ehh, I think I started with me holding the edge of a broken laptop screen in front of my face, there were orange tulips and a snowy branch, and the giraffe. But only 1 giraffe, I think.

@avazula No worries!

Rainbacon

I thought you changed the giraffe. I remember getting confused a lot because the broad color scheme of the giraffe picture was similar to @Mithrandir24601s picture and it was hard to tell them apart in chat because they are so small

@Rainbacon It also means other drivers must give way to you if you come from the right, while if you were walking your dog, they wouldn't have to.

I'm not convinced that question falls under "pick up" in the same sense of the less than ethical subculture does

For this one? Look at the OPs account too and see if you really want to after that ;)

Want to spend effort on such a user's question ;)

Rainbacon

Oh, yeah, I'm well aware of who wrote the question and when they will be able to see it. But also something something judge the question not the user

@Rainbacon "judge content not users" is the rule for us pleebs. The mods live by different rules :p

Tinkeringbell

@Rainbacon Ah well, it was flagged and knowing who posted it made it easier to see those less ethical subculture notes (there were a load of questions about different 'girlfriends' and 'speaking to girls' at the time by that user )... So the flag was handled but the post kept for historical significance

AGirlHasNoName

Judging content within its context seems reasonable.
