I can't imagine why my perfectly innocent question got you so upset. It's not like I said sans underwear and no pyjama ;-P


Now now, play nice and don't generalise. :-)

I'm in for myself and Crewdroog XD

I absolutely don't understand how this GA could be considered sexist. Is Mother's Day sexist? I think not since there's also a Father's Day. I'm a girl and don't have any problem telling people that. The whole point of the thread is to *break* stereotypes, not create them. Sure, I like casual games, but my gaming roots reach back over thirty years, back to the days of the Apple, Atari, and Commodore 64. I'd play any game I could get my hands on, and loved every minute of it! I've only read the first page thus far, but I'll return to read the rest when I'm not so tired (just did a lot of yard work. Whew~!)

My favorite genres:
Dark & Eerie: but without mindless gore -- I much prefer the psychological type of horror to the bloody.
Adventure: Give me a great story! Make it immersive, make it fun!
Platformers: My love of platformers goes back to the days of the original Mario Brothers, which I played on my dad's Apple II. Give me a dark & eerie platforming adventure and I'm a happy, happy gamers!

As a side note, I recently started the 2013 Tomb Raider, and I'm in love ♥ It's heavy on the story, there's a ton of optional content (I'm a completionist, so I love that!), the gameplay is GREAT, and the action is both doable (for this new-to-shooters game player) and exciting. And it's LONG, which is great, 'cause I don't want it to end!

Do I want to know why you like it? ;-P

Prooooobably not.

I miss Europe. Those Americans don't know what Shaorma is. Shaorma > Burrito. Period!

What were we talking about?

Sexism is defined as discrimination based on a person's sex... This giveaway does "discriminate" in such a way, as will the other one. It fits the definition, therefore it is "sexist". Bear in mind - that's JUST A WORD. The giveaway is not only perfectly fine, it is a noble gesture of generosity for which I applaud you. Not all "discrimination" has to be bad - we discriminate all the time. Sometimes we discriminate by having preferences, sometimes we do so by telling things apart (that's also "discriminating").
The moral here is that "sexism" can be a perfectly fine and innocuous thing. This is an inconvenient truth to people who wish to use the term as a bludgeon, relying on the implicit "if sexist then UNSPEAKABLY BAD" assumption.
tl;dr Carry on ^^!

I don't remember, but it's not important anyway What IS indeed important is shaorma.
I wannah use the word as somethng negative and I shall use it dammith! D: Do not tell meh what is "right" and what is "wrong"! THAT'S DISCRIMINATION! :C
We all know there is no right or wrong, just power! :P

Actually, to be a stickler, the word "sexism" only has negative meaning.
The GA itself is not sexist because it's just a fuckin' GA.
The comment that "women get enough freebies thrown at them for no particularly good reason to begin with" (quoting hedwards) was in fact, sexist.

And since I'm being an ass, isn't it shawarma?

I appear to be drowning in games but none on GOG at those price points are currently on my wish list - therefore, I am not in ;-D

Let's just say that I prefer to wait for a good sale for the items that are on my wishlist and until then, I have plenty to keep me busy for quite some time to come - dratted job takes up SO much time ;-p

Na-ah! I don't!
:)

Pffff, not in my language, no! :P

(no offence, just to be clear; this just came to my mind when I heared about someone's urge to scream :))
