"This is why I hate RomComs, it appeals to the female fantasy."

This game is actually great. I played through fully twice, it's rather short. Highly recommend if you like digging a hole and upgrading your hole digging ability.
What does it say about me that I'm actually interested in buying and playing this game?
It says that you want to experience life but wont/can't sacrifice the physical investment that it involves.
Idk 🤷♂️. I'm not a doctor.
You need a bigger yard. Or a better shovel.
I loved it but needed it to be longer. I want to dig more hole.
The mark of a good game.
Isn’t it bit racist to think only male dwarfs like to dig holes.
Can confirm. Am dwarf, I don't like holes. I like elves, fellowships and killing orcs. And my ax!
Builds character
... dad?
From what I've seen, men absolutely love digging holes. Every summer on the beach it's the same: there's always men digging holes. They bring their kids to the beach just to have an excuse for digging a hole, a waterfort, some dams, ... For the kids ;)
So men like holes, kinda expected though?
My favorite male fantasy that games allow me to realize is that of becoming a successful man despite not executing any meaningful work.
I just want to play games where i am not a toxic shit head and still get to do violence
I played a similar game on Roblox: Dig to find dad.
The objective is to bomb your way some 3 kilometers downwards. When you reach the bottom you'll find a grocery store where the dad is shopping for milk. Talking to him reveals that he doesn't want to go home. I don't know if other endings are possible.
I don't know how to feel about this.
Is there an adult around? I mean, I'm an adult but like an ADULT adult.
Ah, CEO sim, my fave.
No, no. Landlord simulator.
hey sometimes landlords have to get up and collect their checks and then go cash it. takes a lot out of you especially when they dont tip

Hey now, I said no meaningful work, not evil bullshit
Yes, games about my instinctual longing for the mines. ⛏️
Rock and stone!

I know this is a meme but I’m really really hoping that top line is from a skit or something
Nope. It was a BuzzFeed thing about a very very feminist person talking about how gaming only appeals to men. I am feminist, and the piece still got a massive eyeroll from me. They cherry picked a few things and said because of those things gaming was only catering to men.
Worse is that they didn't tackle any actual issues going on in gaming. Just lame ragebait.
IIRC one of the examples was an NPC in GTA 5 making a sexist comment. In GTA 5, which is of course a parody of modern culture, completely out of context.

Ugh so typical buzzfeed clickbait slop then. Thank you for explaining. /gen
Guess I’ll go back to putting up with all the male fantasy in the cat adventure game I’m playing 😂
