Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
By Ramyrez 2017-01-04 11:13:50
Huh. Felicia Day announced she was pregnant a few hours ago.
Daughter's due in three weeks. Who? Famous for the webseries The Guild, which most mmo players appreciated back then. Sounds lame. She also ruined a handful of supernatural episodes by being in them
I guess I like her well enough, but she also exemplifies a significant problem in the gaming industry*.. If you're pretty and genuinely into a product, people will bend over backward to accommodate you.
In the case of Dragon Age they put her in the game.
And it's unfair to a point to get mad about it because she's put in a lot of hard work and is talented.
But also, if a guy displayed that level of zeal/self-promotion the same way, they wouldn't get put in the game, they'd get a restraining order from half the devs.
*edit: Let's be honest. It's a problem with all of society. Much like how 50 Shades of Grey is only sexy b/c the main dude is rich. If he were poor it would be reviled as the torture porn it is.

Man, if only kittens didn't grow into cats.
I love kittens. But cats just aren't nice creatures.
Puppies are awesome and grow into dogs. And dogs are also awesome.

Or how walking boob job Jessica Nigri, who is not an actress/voice actress, was picked to do the voice acting for Sonico in Sonicomi, taking work away from someone who actually made acting their profession.
Good work boobs.

On topic: it is pretty amazing she kept it quiet that whole time. Also, who is the dad? Is it Nathan Fillion? I bet it's Nathan Fillion.

That's really the juxtaposition of Felicia Day. She's talented, she's certainly something the demographic likes, but there's also -- at least for me -- always this underlying "okay, is she successful because she's talented or is it because she's an absolute perfect marketable fit as the cute nerdy girl?"

H-Whil H-Wheaton is happily married otherwise!
Edit: Whil, on the other hand, is an excellent case study in "I *** hate your character you're known for, but you're pretty cool."

I only watched an episode or two, but that's only because I'm the literal worst at watching things, even if I really like them.

true, but there really arent many out there, and while she is famous, doesnt stand out as much... or pursues a being famous just for being famous and money, nor she fakes the geekyness just for the spotlight. seeing her work shows how real her passion for this stuff is for her, and using the baby as an example, she can separate or balance her private life and her public life.

Don't know if she's said. Don't even know if she's even in a solid relationship. Don't particularly care. I only found out because someone I follow on twitter follows her.

I was trying to do digging last night because I was for some reason really interested in who the "father" was.

She does seem to be particularly good at separating her public and private life really well.
Y'know, hiding a pregnancy for eight months and all.

Y'know, hiding a pregnancy for either months and all. I think she said she was a bit of a loner and shy in high school. Her ability to shy away or separate public and private lives is probably a skill she learned early on or is just simply how she is.
In a way, I could envy that ability.

She just kinda seems like that kind of person.

Yeah, I dunno.
I just sorta really wanted it to be Nathan Fillion.
Edit: As to her, I'm not going to pretend there might not be some projection/bias on my part due to a few particular facets. It is what it is regardless, and it's not like she doesn't deserve her success.

If he were poor it would be reviled as the torture porn it is. Don't be jealous just because they can write about their sad attempt at BDSM and yours goes unnoticed :P

That's not my fetish!
Edit: Also, the BDSM community pretty much hates those books for how much they get completely and absolutely wrong.

One time I threw a *** at someone in a sex shop and hit them in the face.
That is as close to BDSM as I have ever gotten.

Random [+] from a Canadian.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
