"I’m making this slightly theoretical point because it helps to explain why I don’t agree with Sherryl Kleinman’s suggestion that women who use terms like ‘guys’ and ‘dude’ are trying to claim ‘honorary man’ status. Rather I agree with Scott Kiesling, who argues that women use ‘dude’ for the same reason men do: because they want to express cool solidarity—especially, the evidence suggests, with other women. Rather than displaying internalized sexism, they’re like the little girl who sometimes wants to play with toy cars rather than dolls. It’s not that she wants to be a boy, she just doesn’t see why girls shouldn’t play with cars."
I just finished playing Firewatch. The story is good, well voice acted, and beautiful. It only takes about 3 or 4 hours to play it through.
There’s an extra money spinner that’s a bit silly that goes with the game - at a point early on you pick up a disposable camera with only a few of the snaps used up. You can take shots as you hike around the country side, and later have them printed for real. I really like the real world/game world bleed through.
They’re like some weird alternative life holiday snaps from when I was a park ranger for a summer.
Here’s mine. As with real life, I wish I’d taken more.
The mantises were then shuffled into a “3D insect cinema” and shown computer-generated images of different targets moving toward them. The results will help scientists get a better understanding in how 3D vision evolved!
