Tiggum posted:In a lot of cases this "Is it a real game?" question exists basically to deny legitimacy to video games that aren't marketed to the standard teenage boy audience, but I think the game/toy distinction can be useful as long as it's understood that there's nothing wrong with toys and they're not "the lovely version of games for girls and other mentally deficient people". Toys are fun, games are fun, and it's interesting to look at the fact that a lot of what are marketed to girls are on the toy side rather than the game side. Tiggum posted:Also, I can't believe no one's mentioned the best girl game ever: Saints Row 2. If I may inject a personal tale of a girl game from long past, I had (warning: terrible sound) Crystal's Pony Tale for the Sega Genesis. I played the hell out of that game with my little sister, and even though there's just 3 options for "dress up", I still pondered over that screen every playthrough. It might've helped that there was an actual (bad) game to play as your pretty pretty pony after the dress up. vv Well there goes my next 40 minutes.

TK-31 posted:What I'm trying to say here is that all these 'girl games' that only have dressup options could stand to make boatloads of money just by adding a mediocre but still fun game on top of that. But it seems that no, even that would be trying too hard for them. gegi posted:How does Gaia Online work? I know there are people who make money doing Gaia-related commissions somehow or other, but I'm not sure if you can actually create items to go into the game. I have the impression that the Gaia audience skews female and does enjoy dressing up their avatars but I've never played the game myself. Oh speaking of minigames/dressup hybrids, what would we classify Neopets as? I believe that one was much more gender neutral but I haven't seen it in the longest time. EDIT: Okay just checked the site and Neopets has a stock market now.

Innovacious posted:fake edit: I could not stop myself, I went and played it to make this gif real edit:  That programming game seemed pretty fun actually, if nothing at all like real programming. Real programming wouldn't make a good game anyway (except for us uber-nerds). It must be ripping off some form of puzzle game because it seems *too* polished for a flash website girl game. And also the "bug" being called a "lock", which is what it might've been called in the original IP. Also you were super good at it; I guess that makes you a Data "DeVa"

I wanted to imagine that specific sequences of bits triggered animations in that robot dog but I'm pretty sure it's just random. Nethris posted:That cheerleader game with the sudden straight drops the cheerleaders went into partway into their descents screws with attempts to try to estimate trajectories, turning it into even more trial and error than it needed to be. Hell, it doesn't even seem to let you adjust velocity at all - ripping off Artillery style games isn't THAT difficult and would have at least made that game more amusing.

36 is alright, but is usually slightly shivering. If the scale on the thermometer is linear, it tops out at 43 degrees Celsius, which is normally very fatal (it's equivalent to 109 degrees Fahrenheit). At that point you suffer from possibly vomiting, continuous convulsions, shock, irregular heartbeat and/or total collapse of the circulatory system. The chances of getting out of that condition without permanent brain damage are slim, if you survive. You're probably not in any condition to kiss, is what I'm saying.

Your keyboard is so pink!  Does 123peppy.com have drawing tutorials for left-handed people? This might be a little too right-centric for my tastes and abilities.

Nidoking posted:It was a math pun. I approve of math puns. Unfortunately the fashion industry has decided to sidestep the absurdity that would be negative sizing and opt for sizes 0 and 00, the existences of which make me just as angry. Vanity sizing, size inflation, whatever you call it, I hate it all. dijon du jour posted:e: And why not here's a Monster High Burger. Notice the complete lack of hamburger patty.
