(Part 3) Top products from r/GirlGamers

I don't have time to read into the article, but your title reminded me back to a book my mom would read my brother and i from time to time. When i was way younger, and it's stuck.

I want to say it was called the "Paper Bag Princess" or something. I'll look, but it's basically a princess who saves herself, wears a paper bag, i think she saves the knight, and he returns the hero or something...i forget how it ends. I forget how it ends, but my mom was real adamant on showing my brother and i that girls are just as good as boys.

She didn't have to read us a story, being 28 now i see how strong women can be. She raised my 2 brothers and i while working full time and going to college to get a nursing degree and helped put 2 of us through college with my youngest starting soon.

She showed me she was strong by her actions, not her words. :D

This game does LOOK awesome, i like the aesthetic so i'm excited to check it out later! :D

EDIT: Here it is!

I know you mentioned you were looking for Mass Effect figures etc, but these figures of Ciri, Triss and Yen from Witcher 3 are really nice - only really as male-gazey as the game designs are in the first place, and they're all amazing, strong characters in the games! I kind of want them all, but my shelves are so full!

>Not once did I say Unity was a good thing to jump into first.

I wasn't accusing you of it. I was genuinely curious as to what tools you used because this is the core of my start-up and I've ended up recruiting mostly women. So we're doing the same thing, but with different demographics and with different goals.

I'm curious, is this some sort of school program I can read more about? Do you use any textbooks? I use Game Design Workshop: A Playcentric Approach to Creating Innovative Games, but I've tried using other books as teaching tools.

The version I had as a kid, by Mercer Meyer, was truly amazing (and seems pretty distinctly different from the traditional tale). It had a seriously damsel'd Prince and a kickass lady protagonist. I cannot recommend it highly enough. To bad it's like $200 on Amazon. Thank goodness for used books.

This might make me seem really young (granted, I was playing Asheron's Call at 7) but my favorite game when I was really little was Reader Rabbit 1st Grade (this was before I started school) and another game called Read, Write, Paint or something similar (it definetly had Write and Paint in the title). When I got a little older it was Rollercoaster Tycoon and Sims. Also, Virtual Villager for a few days straight.

hi! I hate contacts lmao. I have big glasses and I like to wear these Porta Pro from Koss because they don’t press against my face as much as headphones with big cushions. hope this helps :)

I've got the World of Warcraft cookbook and the Game of Thrones cookbook from the same author, and I highly recommend. She's also done a Hearthstone cookbook and a Shire(Hobbit food) cookbook that I've got on my wishlist. Looking forward to adding this one to the collection!

Sadie Plant's book Zeroes and Ones is an excellent read on Ms. Lovelace and women in tech.

I thought I'd link to the review instead of the book itself because that's how I found out about it and because it gives a nice overview of what the book is about and why it might be worth reading.

Amazon Link.

I wanna buy it but it's a bit expensive.

Ah, it was a middle chapter in the book "Taking on the System" by Markos Zuniga but I can't seem to pull it in the books.google.com sample.

I found it at a used book store for a buck. It may not be that hard to find.

With this!

I've been using them since 2008. No callus for me.

I got:
a working NES with Super Mario Bros 1, 2, & 3, Legend of Zelda (gold cartidge), The Adventures of Link (gold cartidge), Dr. Mario - with the original box!, Mega Man 2, and RC Pro-AM Racing
Posable Mass Effect 3 "Minimates" of ManShep, Ashley, Wrex, and Garrus
Figurines of Link from Phantom Hourglass and Zelda from Ocarina of Time
The Art of the Mass Effect Universe
Mass Effect Library Edition Volume 1
"POP!" figurines of Garrus and Grunt
Steam Gift Card (which has so far purchased Mount and Blade Warband and the Ghostbusters game)
Miniature Bat-signal (it works surprisingly well)
Venture Brothers Season 5 on Blu-ray

My birthday is the day after Christmas, does that also count? I got:
A sweet Hyrule map puzzle
Anamaniacs DVD (Season 1)
My friends sBruced up my batroom (or spruced up my bathroom for the pun intolerant) with a custom blue and white batman symbol bathroom sign affixed to my batroom door, a bat-shower curtain, a classic Detective Comics poster to go with my existing Dark Knight Returns (the comic) poster, a bat-toothbrush/utility holder, a bat-soap dispenser, a bat-rug, and a bat-towel (link also features my existing shower curtain holders).

Not sure if this counts, but I also got a kit to make a working ornithopter (I'm a giant nerd for robots and the like). I also bought The Last Unicorn for myself but I think that's probably cheating.

I am quite pleased...I may have yelled "I HAVE AN NES" five or six times...an hour...all day...

It's not really a Sailor Moon mousepad. :( It's a book. Bought it when I was 7 for the pictures, use it now to play on Steam. But yes, Sailor Moon kicks ass regardless!

THANK YOU. God, I'm so done with this.

The worst part is that the rest of the game tends to be so artfully done that people consider this an inspiration and influence to their own stories and lives. How nauseating.

I've seen a lot of pre-teens into anime and jrpgs that end up directly emulating the characters they watch/play, which invites them to think that low self-esteem and insecurity is the way to go. Tragic.

Add that to the fact that we're experiencing a moment of "Enlightened Sexism" as this book I'm reading calls it ( http://www.amazon.com/Enlightened-Sexism-Seductive-Message-Feminisms/dp/080508326X ) and we're doomed.
