MMornard Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Fact does not exist, nothing can be a fact because a fact to one person can be an opinion to another, Bzzt! Wrong, but thank you for playing. c = 299,792,458 mps. There is no "opinion" to it. G = g(m1 + m2)/d^2. Period. No "opinion" to it. Pi is the ratio between the diameter of a circle and its circumference. No "opinion" involved. Et cetera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiyana Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) We need more facts in this thread about facts! Please answer us. Hey, if I am a geek, does that make you a geekess? How do you juggle hairstyling and make-up with game time? Or don't you? It is commonly known that we save time by not changing our underwear - how do you cope with the timely demands, maybe we can learn something! I use geekette =^.^= Edited April 10, 2012 by Aiyana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalarigamerchic Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 lol I use geekette to or just nerd for myself currently my hair is braided so that helps a lot with down time for hair styling (Plus im on a Michonne kick ala walking dead so wanted to try to get my hair looking like hers and have my first sword in hopefully the start of a budding collections of Katana's ^_^) I don't really indulge in make up unless I have a business meeting find that stuff annoying makes my skin irritated and is unneeded to me most of the time. And the only down time I have trouble balancing is that thing called sleep I need between caring for my son earning a living and gaming I sometimes manage to get some of that and make time for my significant other when hes not currently trying to unlock his next game achievement lol.

kalarigamerchic Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 um the fact thing was tongue in cheek in my original post I even said I am not an authority just wanted to poke some fun at gender sterotypes. And agreed Cynomen when I don't have braids a ponytail suffices and I try to avoid wearing make up as much as possible lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRouven Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I use geekette =^.^= That rhymes with coquette, love it! To be sung, spur of the moment. There once was a geekette, She was very coquette. She endured all the jankers, to mow down them clankers. So dude do not trifle with the girl holding the assault rifle.

Disinvolto Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 My wife plays and she hides her identity not because of being hit on or insulted, but because of the IWK. Internet White Knights. Her theory is that it's much easier to chivalrous in the game than it is in real life (where white knighting could be mistaken for flirting, and be turned down). IWKs are obnoxious, constantly defending a female's honor, endlessly groveling for favor, and treating the female as if she has deficiencies which only the IWK can overcome. She can't defend herself or take criticism (especially valid) without a IWK to fall on a sword for her. Woe to the person that doesn't treat the female exactly as the IWK thinks is proper. Unlike jerks and pimply teenagers, who take the hint when their advances are rebuffed, the IWK will keep at it forever. This has got to be one of the best things I've ever read in regards to this topic. *clap* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalarigamerchic Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 a woman with allergies (did I mention im a nerd?) avoids the hassle of finding make up that wont make her face look like road rash after taking it off anyway. Not really worth the hassle of putting it on when I have someone who thinks I am beautiful without it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kracin Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Yeah, you are so oppressed. You get paid 70 cents to every dollar made by someone of the other gender. No, wait, that's women. You can get murdered for being in possesion of a hoodie and a bag of skittles. No, that's black people. Wait, what is it that white males have worse than anyone else again? http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2010/01/21/which-race-earns-most-in-us-the-numbers-may-surprise-you/ oh no, and im gonna go start a white man's movement because i'm tired of the asians getting paid more than me (not being racist, just making a point). *and that little insert about the whole night watch guy vs the teen is a completely irrelevant and blatant grasp at something i'm not sure of, because the media has skewed the whole thing out of proportion, and if you haven't done anything but read the couple of news articles on it, then you would be too ignorant about the situation to understand it completely.... they did after all portray the night watchman in the story by using a photo of him in some sort of jumpsuit (after he got arrested) and they used a picture of the kid from 7 years ago when he was in high school still, instead of a recent one of him all in his street clothes wearing gang colors* < and now back on topic > there is always someone getting more or less depending on the situation and a lot of factors, but the reason people still actively see the problem, is the people pointing out the problem every day, if people worked more towards a goal instead of calling foul at every job hiring when they see their starting pay, there might not be much of a gap, but we won't know because all i see is posts like this translating to real life every day. (my fiance makes more than all of her co-workers as well, even male. i hate statistics, they help people make uneducated points, am i right?) unfortunately i doubt this thread will go anywhere, because anyone who doesn't agree with people who say they are discriminated against, are automatically an oppressor, so i bow out. go have a girls night, play some swtor, put on some pretty clothes, and tell bioware you want female characters to get lower prices because it's tougher being female in games.

Sauska Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Snipers rule. Also, as a guy, my love of the Commando class is from Doom back in the 90s. I played a lot of it when I was in during the mid-90s. Now my Trooper has an Assault Cannon that looks just like the good ol' BFG-9000! My first FPS was Wolfenstein 3D, and Doom followed shortly thereafter. I know today's FPSs have much better graphics, and a storyline, but sometimes the Old School is more fun. Granted, I'm a huge Call of Duty fan as well. Going prone during combat is much more realistic than most other FPSs out there. And to those who claim that Snipers should be able to go prone in Star Wars: Hey, be grateful we can actually take cover! Star Wars never was big on common sense when it comes to military tactics. lol Omg, DOOM! That was the first FPS I got addicted to, after having played Wolfenstein as well ("Mein leben!" hahaha). I will never forget the first time I heard a Baron, I was shaking in my boots. Then I saw him come around the corner... EEKS! Good memories, oldskool is indeed fun! The first game in general I got addicted to was something completely different though... Lemmings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRouven Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 And there are some women that are delicious even without makeup. This ... or better the fries thing ... reminds me about Pulp Fiction. You know, where they put mayonnaise on their fries instead of ketchup. I'm more of a salty dog. So, what's about that rumor that female gamers have a mirror attached to the monitor to check their hair every 5 minutes? Myth or fact? Hear it here first.

We may take a break during raids now and again to file our nails, preferably just after a boss pull, but having a mirror attached to the monitor to check our hair, seriously, that's ridiculous!
