Hobbies #2

I actually struggled with trying to find a topic for this, as I don't really want to bore people with "sick game facts" so I decided I would talk about female representation in games (sorta different). So to begin with, I'm sure most think of female characters as princesses and damsels in distress and.. unfortunately that wouldn't be wrong. While the world is improving upon that today, some of the most famous games include characters like Princess Zelda, Princess Peach, The Handle (Monster Hunter World) and etc. While most of those characters are from the past, there are still so many problems with female representation today and hopefully it can be improved upon. Even if those previously mentioned princesses now are featured in many games as independent and powerful, it's difficult to overlook their past.

It is one of the most common ways of communication, and one of the most useful, just trailing behind interpersonal because of the feedback is stronger in interpersonal. Social media creates the chance to create, share, and learn and frankly I love social media. I love looking at art in different forms on the internet shared by my friends, family, or complete strangers. I also tend to be the type of person that prefers staying home most nights so being able to talk to people regardless of where I am makes me feel more secure. Most say social media is a cover up, but I find it's a way to show true colors for those that are too shy to.
