Games thread!

OP have you touched grass recently? Or even watched a nature show about various things that live in grass?

Male mammals are, generally speaking, bigger and stronger than female mammals IRL for a variety of reasons like hunting/gathering/defense against predators and competition for mates.

Invert cliches all you want, but just admit it's your kink instead of this embarrassingly flimsy excuse, man...

Having to stay online to play games particularly sucks, I don't get why it's such an issue to some games that aren't even multiplayer in any way to let people play offline.

[(Anonymous)]

This. Watch some Planet Earth or something. Male lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!) are bigger than their female counterparts. All canine breeds (the biggest influence on ABO) have larger males. Even dogs designed by humans have larger males.

[(Anonymous)]

They are probably assholes trying to get more hits.

Yup. OP would actually have a point if they were comparing omegaverse to say, birds or fish, where the ones that lay eggs are very often bigger than the ones who don't, precisely because egg-laying is just a one-time expenditure of energy/resources.

But omegaverse is based on mammalian biology where pregnancy leaves the baby carrier unable to do stuff a lot of the time, and taking out your biggest and strongest individuals out of the question because they're heavily pregnant and literally can't perform strenuous physical tasks any more makes no sense at all from an evolutionary standpoint (obviously humans have evolved socially and technologically beyond this, but every other mammal has not).

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't realized it was human males who birthed young. Considering, you know, that in general men are taller and broader and stronger than women....

It seems like a good third of writer on AO3 haven't bothered to learn what the ratings actually stand for. Though in my fandoms I've run into far more "Explicit" fics that feature zero sex in them than porn in "General" tag.

Mammals yes, usually, but in many non-mammal species females are larger for exactly the reasons secret!OP describes (they can more easily carry more young and feed them).

In species where males are larger (including both mammals and non-mammals alike) this is thought to be driven primarily if not exclusively due to male-male competition. In mammal species that mate for life, including fellow primates such as gibbons, size differences between the sexes are negligible to non-existent.

Hunting/gathering/defense don't come into the equation since in almost all other mammals all individuals are involved in hunting/gathering/defense activities; these are not delineated along "gender" lines like they are classically believed to be among humans (even then, this may be an outdated view: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0287101).

So if alphas and omegas are "pair bonding" for life or whatever, and they can't/don't cheat, it would be very reasonable to assert that they would be of similar sizes.

I feel like opening YouTube is just what you do for video games. Or at least just what I do. Like when I went through the lockpicking tutorial in Thief 3, then had to open YouTube in order to figure out how to pick a lock. Games that explain themselves properly are rare and precious.

I blame at least part of this on Shigeru Miyamoto. People internalized that Miyamoto games are really good because you can figure out how to play them without any explanations. So they take out the explanations of how to play, and they assume just wishing hard enough will make their game design magically become clear enough for people to figure it out without explanations.

OP what are you talking about? Male wolves are bigger than female wolves; male dogs are bigger than female dogs of the same breed. And this is true of mammals in general, as well. I'm not sure if you noticed, but the humans who get pregnant are shorter, smaller, and narrower at the shoulders than the humans who "merely sire." I suppose you can think that's illogical, but there must be some reason we evolved the way we did.
