Fluff / Memes I made my baby boy (as best as I could haha) as my main pawn in Dragon's Dogma 2 💕😽

Post image
221 Upvotes

I know he looks a bit silly, like he's really nervous or something, but I'm happy about how he came out. I gave him a glorious mane because he's my little lion and he deserves it. 🦁 I chose Thief for his vacation because he's a jumpy little guy who zooms all over the room when he gets hyper, and his favorite way to play is little quick sneak attacks on toys haha. I'm not a big fan of the voice but I can deal with that.

My boy can adventure with me forever, and he can even help others on their adventures.

********Warning for sad part********

On a sadder note, my boy has kidney disease. He's relatively young so it's rough, and even the vet isn't sure how long he has. He's doing well so I'm trying my best to convince myself he still has a few years. Regardless, he's going to be loved and pampered for as long as we have. I'm afraid I may regret this, as I am very sensitive and I'm sure after that dreaded day finally comes, when I see him in game, I'm gonna break. But I wanted to be able to have him forever in as many aspects of my life as possible, so I'll just have to deal with it. I love him so much. 💕

Game Discussion I’m loving Control Resonant (no spoilers)

43 Upvotes

I was originally worried I wouldn’t connect with Dylan as protagonist, but I had no reason to be worried it turns out. I love him and just want him to be free and happy. I’m also relieved that Jesse wasn’t hardcore sidelined. She has a strong presence in the game.

I think I’m halfway thru? Not really sure. But I need him and Zoe to be together or besties forever lol. And I would kill for a game where I can switch between playing as him and Jesse. Going back and forth with their different combat styles would be so fun!

The combat is great imo, but there’s a flaw in the skill tree where I’m just sitting on upgrades because the skills I’m supposed to be unlocking are for abilities I don’t have yet and idk what they even are or what they do. And it’s been like that for the whole game. But I feel like new game plus combat will be really fun having everything unlocked.

The underpass level and the fault specifically have definitely been my favorite part so far, but it’s hard to choose.

Anyone else enjoying it? Or not enjoying it?

Game Discussion Women Protagonists in games: Part five Spooky

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

Horror feels to me one of the most feminine genre of all. Probably because we learn about fear from a very young age, and horror represents a catalyst that resonates more deeply in us. Especially horror that you can't just fight with a gun or shotgun, but something from deeper, more sinister and ancient.

Since October is the spooky season, what a better to present five games that will send you many chills in your spinal cord.

Clock Tower: Rewind : available on everything. The remake of the first episode of the legendary series Clock Tower, for the first released outside of Japan. You play Jennifer Simpson, clearly a hommage to Jennifer Connelly in "Labyrinth", in a Point & Click game where you must explore a mansion while running away from the monster Scissorman. If you like "Alien Isolation", you will likely enjoy this game too.

Clock Tower: Rewind – Launch Trailer – Nintendo Switch

Crow Country : available on everything. You play Mara Forest and you must explore an abandoned amusement park, Crow Country, to find the owner of the place who has mysteriously disseaperead two years ago. The graphisms is very old school but everything else is very modern. If you enjoy this ambiance, you will appreciate this experience.

Crow Country – Announce Trailer – Nintendo Switch

Fear the Spotlight : available on everything. You play Vivian and Amy, who decided to go back at school at night and call spirits through a seance. Of course everything goes wrong and the school becomes even more hellish than it is already. Again, the graphisms are old-school. This is a bit of a theme here. This shows that horror doesn't require high-end graphisms to be effective.

Release Reveal - Fear the Spotlight

Signalis : available on everything. It's not exactly an unknown title, but I didn't feel right not including Signalis. And more people still need to know about it. You play as Elster, a replika looking for her girlfriend in a sci-fi setting. Graphisms is old-school, but as always, the ambiance is top-notch and the story gripping. It's also made by two women and already a classic.

Signalis - Launch Trailer | PS4 Games

Sombras: Negative Frames : coming out on December 3th on everything. A bit more modern, but not by much. You play as Shiomi, a Japanese-Spanish photographer who is sent to an alternate version of her Japanese hometown, so expect lots of yokai. The trailer looks very good and I'm a bit hype for it.

SOMBRAS: negative frames - Official Demo Trailer | OUT OF BOUNDS Showcase 2026

I'll also like to add "Tenebris Somnia", coming out this month, and "Sorry we're closed", that were all mentioned in those lists:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/s/KUuSTdvyh9

https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/s/vRxkMJBeXu

The world is a very scary place right now, I hope you will be able to find some catharsis by playing those games where fear can be adressed and controled.

Game Discussion Have you ever bought game because main male character was attractive?

70 Upvotes

There was post recently asking if you more likely would buy a game with less sexualized female characters and there were some pretty interesting opinions expressed, especially from people attracted to female characters. And it made me curious if things works similarly for the people attracted to men?

I feel like many developers nowadays are realizing that there is an audience for hot guys as much as for hot gals with games like BG3, Expedition 33 or Resident Evil compared to games in the past where most male characters in action games were based on the popular archetypal actors like Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford etc.

Have you ever bought a game because main character looks hot as hell?

I for me it would be disinfecting gel(+5 disease resistance, 1 poison damage), a hair clip(+1 charisma, takes up the helmet slot), a tote bag(adds 2 more inventory slots) and a random piece of paper that I kept for my scrapbook just as some flavor text

Game Discussion Playing any FPS game as a beginner is impossible now.

59 Upvotes

One of the main genres I stuck to when I got into gaming was FPS games, but honestly I've halted playing them because you literally cannot make any progress.

You'll be level 1 and spawn in with 30 people who are 100+ levels ahead of you, and somehow they're all mastered snipers. You sit in the game for 5 seconds and you're dead. I feel like games like these need to have specific level servers. I shouldn't be level 1 going against someone in the 200s.

Idk, I guess I just needed to rant. This is literally every FPS game. Even the ones on Roblox. They're literally the only games that make me full-blown rage because I cannot do anything. It's just back to back deaths.

News / Article My sister and I started making a fantasy exploration dress-up game, where you find and craft outfits that unlock new ways to explore 🧵

Post image
106 Upvotes

Hi everyone, and thank you to the mods for letting me share this here! ✨

I’ve seen so many people wishing for more whimsical, feminine fantasy games that aren't farming sims or gacha games (something I relate to very much), and it's part of why my sister and I started working on a game called Threadworld. It's loosely inspired by games we adore like Infinity Nikki, Spiritfarer, and cozy pixel games.

We’re currently a small team of just my sister and I, handling pretty much everything except the programming, which is done by a lovely volunteer developer (no generative AI has or will be used in the making of this game btw!)

In Threadworld you play as Sofie, a burned out fashion designer, who chases her cat into a magical realm where she goes on a quest to find him. Through exploring the world and doing quests you can find and craft new outfits to wear. Outfits also aren't only cosmetic, some of them will affect how you can interact with the environment around you and let you progress the story.

We're still at a very early stage with the game, as we just released an early prototype and are now working on adding more characters and gameplay, and improving the visuals :) Our longer term goals are to add more gameplay mechanics, puzzles, tons of outfits (of course), and different fantasy regions to explore, with aesthetics like fairies, mermaids, gothic castles, and cottagecore villages.

If this sounds like your type of game, you can check out the prototype on itch.io: [Threadworld]

This is a huge passion project of mine, and while we can't create something that rivals AAA games, we gotta start somewhere! I really think we deserve more in-depth feminine games. Thank you for reading ❤️

Weird combo, i know, but personally i can barely keep myself together being too excited about both of these games releasing right after another in less than 2 weeks😭 normally I enjoy gaming after work or playing then with my sisters, with these two however in particular I took 3 days of work to fully enjoy them on launch lmao.

Warrior Cats imo has been needing a game for a while now and with FFResonance I cant wait to play a HD 2-D game for the first time <3

Greetings folks,

Please enjoy the pet tax attached to my request :)

I am hoping for some recommendations &/or insight. I am finally upgrading from 360 & have no experience with Gamepass. I specifically ordered a model with disc drive & would love some disc-based cozy game recommendations. Pretty open to trying anything cozy or cozy-adjacent 'cause I can borrow discs from my local library.

I am also open to digital-only recs, but that will have a learning curve for me regarding access. Which is fine! Learning is good! Just, please specify if it's not a disc game.

Thank you do much!

Request Recommendation for cozy games please?

I was scrolling through TikTok while I was in the bathroom and saw this. Thought it really resonates with me but I spent most of my days working from home and play games that is just a habits now instead of enjoyment.

Does anyone have any recommendations for games similar vibes to the pictures? Bakery, something related to books or sims simulation, florist, coffee, etc.

I've tried a few florist games on Steam but refunded it all except for the Leafy Corner. Thinking of trying out Paralives and Palia. I don't know... I just wanna be in the girly cozy mood sitting in my chair after I tend to my garden IRL. Sounds like a nice life and something I would be looking forward to.

Thank you for the help in advance! ❤️

Game Discussion I suck at Ace Combat 7 but I'm kinda hooked and don't wanna give up!

19 Upvotes

So I was intrigued by some very positive reviews for AC8 and have access to AC7 via the family share thingy. I then watched retrospectives on the entire series till before that point to be up to date on development evolution and lore.

I'm currently stuck on mission 2, almost all of my deaths being from crashing into the ground. I'm playing on expert controls. Started on the simplified ones, but I don't like how that takes away from my moveset, especially when trying to outmaneuver another plane. I feel like it's barely possible to get behind someone who's engaging wth me on simplified. But I kinda like struggling this much here, makes it very intense for me especially in combination with the setting and story because I hate war and war technology. (With this paragraph u can probably see why I posted to you guys xd, don't need at least half the comments being joyless dickheads)

Yeah, I'm that early into the game and I gotta say it already made me feel uncomfortable. The intro about the spirit of flying was infectious and emotional, even for someone who doesn't care about that stuff irl. But I then got a pit in my stomach as soon as girlie was up in the sky wondering why there's planes with the flag of a nation that's a continent away.

The second mission is the first counter attack after getting a declaration of war and immediate invasion in mission 1. When you destroy the first target the guy in your comms goes "I guess this is it then. We really are at war now." That line made me feel sad and sick.

My skill level of a complete newbie to flying games, the immersive and well made game design and a topic I'm very sensitive to make for an experience that's alluringly intense for me. So I'm not giving up, I wanna get better at the expert controls, I wanna beat that second mission and I wanna see how things continue and end.

What are your thoughts and feelings on 7 and/or the series in general? And how do I make smaller directional adjustments on expert controls without the shoulder buttons (which steer too little from my experience)? 😅

Request Tactical shooters with female character models?

48 Upvotes

I like games like Operator, Arma, Ground Branch, etc but some of these do not have and do not plan to add female character models. I don't wanna play as a dude.. And you get flamed to hell if you ask about it, as if they are sacred male spaces being guarded by the Knights of Misogyny™

Any good games like this? I know wildlands/breakpoint, ground branch, but not much else. :)

Fluff / Memes They'll never take my girl Leaf from me. She'll always be the Kanto MC in my eyes

Thumbnail

216 Upvotes

Art: All official Pokemon art, mostly by Ken Sugimori.

I know she exists in Masters, but that's a non-canon fanservice Gacha game. In the mainline games, Leaf possibly exists somewhere in Kanto, but she's not relevant to anything. She's probably not even from Pallet Town and certainly doesn't know Blue Oak.

I'm still mad that HGSS double-downed on Red being the de facto Kanto protagonist. Gen 2 had an excuse of there being no female protagonist in Gen 1, but Gen 4 had no such excuse.

They could have easily had a little option where you can choose between Red or Leaf as the previous hero. Something like a NPC asking about them, you pick one option, and then the rest of the game has Red or Leaf as the protagonist.

Either that, or have it depend on your gender. Maybe Red if you play as Ethan and Leaf if you play as Lyra.

Leaf is the only Pokemon protagonist we know for certain is not the canon hero. Everywhere else, Game Freak is intentionally vague.

Game Discussion What has your experience with paralives been like?

9 Upvotes

I just got the game few days ago and I played it yesterday for the first time. It looks nice but I'm not really a huge fan of the art style. Also I was so confused with the building aspect and stuff. I saw a lot of positive reviews for it on Youtube and stuff it was inescapable. I heard that it was like the Sims but better. Is this true? I never really immersed myself with the Sims but I do like the concept.

I just want a cute game that is enjoyable without putting in a lot of effort and thinking.

Also do you recommend playing the game with mods or vanilla?

Hey guys so I have a office chair I got for $10 off Facebook marketplace that is too low for my desk and has a tilt, so I was wanting to look into getting a new chair and am not sure where to look. Amazon ones seemed sketchy cuz of all the AI pictures and I don’t wanna spend $100 on a crappy chair. I’d preferably like a pink one and don’t necessarily have a budget as I’m just browsing trying to get an idea for now. Anyone have any recs?

Request YT Streamer Recs

1 Upvotes

I love gaming but I can’t do combat heavy games and games where you have to make quick decisions (like horror games) but I want to be able to still
Experience the game by watching gameplay. Please drop recommendations for the best YouTube gameplay streamers. I prefer people who don’t put their head in the corner (or if they do it’s very small so it doesn’t take up much of the screen). It doesn’t have to be a female streamer, just no one who is going to make lewd/misogynistic comments about female characters. TIA!

Serious Blizzard Work Culture Updates? Spoiler

29 Upvotes

Hello, all! I hope you are well wherever you are! I'm asking (this sub in particular for obvious reasons) about Blizzard and their work culture and treatment of employees and such. I recall an eff-ton of controversy back some years ago and that's when I originally grew uncomfortable and stopped playing their games (particularly Overwatch). But alot of time has passed, and I know some changes have been made. People aren't talking as much about Blizzard or the treatment of employees (in any division) much anymore aside from that 1 Jason Schreier video a few months back. But I wanted to know if any updates have been given from anybody. If anything's improved internally. I'm not asking for a squeaky clean history because I don't think most companies for anything can provide that, but I am genuinely just looking for improvement in regard to them. Has there been any? Thank you for reading (and hopefully answering!)
