Calling all mobile game lover!!! 🤓

Hey girls! I’m working on a mobile game project, and I’d love to hear from fellow mobile game lovers or gamers out there. Could you tell me what you absolutely love and can’t stand about mobile games? Also, how many days do you usually stick with a free game? Your thoughts would be super valuable for my project!

hel me find my childhood favourite dress up game

Hi everyone, i come here hoping to get some help from the ladies. Lately I've been diving back into game sites like gilgogmaes and 1001games, i used to spend a lot of time on these sites as a kid playing mainly dress-up games, lately i've been trying to find a game i used to love as a kid but it seems that i'm the only one who remebers about it. It was a dress up game but it also had some sort of storyline, the aesthetic was monster high like, very spooky/halloweeny and i remeber it had a decent quality too.

If anyone remembers any more details or, even better, the name of the game feel free to comment, I've been obsessing over this for days and I haven't found anything yet >:(

Medievia

I know there are few people left who play mud games, but I want to warn my fellow females about Medievia. Think COD can be an unsafe space for women? Medievia is worse. The owner of the game, Michael Krause aka Vryce, allows his staff to use their power to extort nudes from the women who play his game. When called to task about his apologies towards the rapists, he gags women (making them incapable of speaking out against their abusers). 22 times I have been gagged when asking why the gods are allowed to abuse women but the women themselves cannot speak out. My fellow ladies, for your safety, please avoid this game.

RAZER KRAKEN KITTY V2 BT

Does anyone have this and use it with their PS5?

I’ve got the official PlayStation pulse one but it really hurts my head after a little while, it’s so uncomfortable.

I have a Kitty Razer that’s wired that I find really comfortable, but I want a wireless one. I’ve seen the Kitty V2 BT but some reviews say it doesn’t work with their PS5.

Is there any Facebook groups about Life is Strange for girly only?

I was wondering if anybody knew of any groups I can join specifically for Life is Strange? Girls only. There’s nothing wrong with a group with everybody, but I just wanted to join one that was just girls. All I can find is regular gamer girl groups that I’m already in though.

Best social games that are friendly to newcomers?

Looking for a multiplayer game where the other players are pretty social but there isn't a high barrier to entry (like isn't insanely difficult or isnt friendly to newbies) and also doesn't have an overwhelmingly sexist or toxic player base. Otherwise not picky on style! I don't have anyone to game with but love multiplayer games. I've done a lot of FFXIV and love the social atmosphere but would like to pull back on that game and discover something new. I've been doing Diablo IV lately, but I can never find any clans that are particularly active/social. I've done a tiny bit of WOW in the past and open to trying that again, but I didn't really know how to go about meeting that strangers in that game to play with.

Need help with BG3!

Ladies,

I have very little experience with gaming, outside of way too many hours spent on Forge of Empires (strategy game). I have played exactly 3 DnD one shot adventures -- two of them were literally 40 years ago.

Regardless, I want to play BG3! I spent a dozen or so hours on it when it came out, and it was really beyond me. I've decided I need to swallow my pride and play on Explorer mode. And I have a couple questions:

  1. What walk-thrus do you recommend? I was using a few when BG3 first came out, but now that everyone knows where everything is, are there updated walk-thrus that I should follow?

  2. I really need help on the magic part. Are there tutorials/podcasts/whatever that could give me the basics in a couple hours of viewing?

  3. What are the "must have" mods?

I realize this really needs to be in r/BabyGirlGamers, if such a thing existed. But I'm hoping you all can help this wannabe gamer.

Otome games with light cute themes

I'm struggling. I feel like absolute poo, the world is going down the shitter and my life is swiftly following with it. I desperately need some comforting games, preferably otome. Something light and that gives warm fuzzy feels?

Oh and heck if you know of any cute romancey anime to watch too, throw em my way. I'll take anything.

I need distraction and something to soothe my soul 😔

First time in over a decade that I accepted a random party request, instant regret

Sorry if I used the wrong flair this is my first post in here!

So I have chronic anxiety and I’m trying to take baby steps in doing things that put me out of my comfort zone. Especially talking to anyone over the phone or screen gives me heart palpitations. Last night I downloaded the new COD and I had some people interacting with me but I was too nervous to unmute myself. After a few games and it being super late I was queuing with some of the same people. One of them mentioned me and someone else had a similar name, I wanted to soo badly to be silly n be like “hey twinnn” but I was so nervous all I could muster up was a simple little “hello” which was followed by 5 seconds of silence (a few people were constantly talking before this so… im assuming they got shook a woman was in the lobby lmfao)

About 20 minutes later I get a party request and I’m like sigh..an opportunity to get out of my comfort zone presents itself I have to take it. Of course it was filled with guys ages 16-20 who apparently all met tonight and got invited too. One of them say they have a question for me and I knew right away where this was gonna go. I was asked if I had an onlyfans and “is it pink?”, Yeesh.. Unfortunately I’m no SteffyEvans, I couldn’t think of anything smart to say back so after they were cackling like hyenas I just left. And of course that’s when I thought of comebacks to say and channeled Steffy. Then 15 mins go by and I’m being spammed with 11 invites and friend requests but I didn’t join again because the spamming felt… threatening? Maybe not the right word but the nonstop spamming just felt very weird to me.

But it honestly makes me laugh because of how simple cis males are since literally the only thing I said was “hello” and that got me an invite…they’re just so stupid 😭 I’m not taking it to heart but it’s just like DAMMNN really the first time I unmute myself in years and this is my first interaction I got. I’m not giving up though! I’m tired of silencing myself!

Deciding between Intel or AMD for a new build help please

Hi!

Hope this is okay to ask here. Asking tech questions elsewhere has been... interesting mostly and here doesn't seem to have fanboyism (or fangirlism) to a fault.

This will be a big PC build after not having one for years and I'm really stuck on processor.

Intel is all I've known and for years the choice was between a few chips in a range for most making it easy but now I'm again paralysed by the choices, not being able to process information that I'll then see contradicted and weed out the bias from fact. This question has delayed the build by longer than I'd like to admit.

In the UK if that matters, so no microcenter/newegg and everything costs 1/3 to 200% more. Also electricity is way way more expensive than in the US and most places.

Looking to build a very powerful but quiet PC. I plan to buy a 5090 when it releases unless they go bonkers on prices or just under and run dual 1440p monitors or one 4k.

Given that I'm in the UK so we don't have aircon heat is an issue as I don't want an extra radiator and more heat usually means more cooling is needed so more noise. This made me lean AMD looking at charts. But then I saw the power draw at idle and although I'll be gaming, I'll be doing lots of just browsing and discord and other general things that would fall under idle or near idle and Intel seems to sip power here. This made it seem like AMD would be best if I'd be mainly gaming or only gaming but Intel would be best of I wanted to not need it to run full tilt gaming from a heat and noise perspective overall. So it seems mixed use case for heat and noise Intel wins but I suffer more when gaming, but I don't know if this is right.

It seems there's still AMD specific issues given how Intel was so used and favoured for so long. I see so many threads of people tinkering and having to tweek things and having issues that goes with hearing people say Intel if you just want it to work, AMD if you want to spend more time on bios and settings regularly.

It seems the current Intel board has 1 maybe 2 more chips left in it and although AMD is strong in many areas it's almost time for their new platform and tech so maybe waiting is best as one more wait before choosing but past that there's been so much waiting that it could last forever.

Really at a loss as both seem to have significant down sides and strengths but there is so much fanboyism around AMD so much gets distorted and hidden, like the crazy idle power that seems both are radiators of different kinds, and Intel gets trashed because it's trendy.
