Question

[i-know-stuff.livejournal.com]

‘Ello Poly~ I’m currently in sociology in college and we need to write a few small papers for extra credit points. One of the subjects mentioned were gender stereotypes, such as girls don’t play video games or boys don’t play with dolls, the stereotype of what society views should happen. I’d like to write about RP’ing, I’ve found that generally (at least with RL people I know) RP is thought to be a “guys” thing.

So I need some basis of statistics to go off of, so if you don’t mind can you please leave a comment with your gender?

To be clear this is optional, it’s not a huge deal as I don’t need the extra credit to pass or event get a great grade, you’re lj name will not be mentioned, your online name/real name won’t be, and where I got the info won’t be mentioned. Basically all I need is a number in real life to go off of, the number won’t event be mentioned. I just need to know which side to go with, if it’s completely absurd to think that girls don’t rp (which is what I think XD) or if it’s fairly accurate.

If you’re not comfortable with telling your gender, don’t worry about it! The last thing I want is anyone to feel uncomfortable so don’t feel like you have to!

Thanks for reading~

They do everything they can to prevent software not made by them to run on the equipment you buy and use, they've made altering your machine practically illegal (but not really) they're monopolizing and so on and so forth. With PSP you can put custom stuff on it but only after you've broken the original firmware. *grumble* I have to buy an expensive special battery pack and waste a memory chip just to get it so I can have a text editor on my PSP.

Yeah, most games have an option for windowed mode or can be modified to have a window mode.

Kind of like how Direct TV gives you a box to use when you buy their package and their service and then later you find out you don't ~own~ it at all?

I'm not very good at computer changing stuff so it's never been an issue.

The one game I've played that had a smaller version of the window didn't look as good as it did with full screen.
