Same way I’ve always felt about professional sports. Do what you want, have fun, but you’re taking a game way too seriously.

Breath of the wild. I loved Zelda games up until then, and everything after is so fucking boring. I don’t get it.

How about mtg gameplay, video game speedruns, beat battles, and vtubers? That’s pretty much all I use YouTube for these days, but I’d love to drop it completely.

I was helping a friend with music production, you see

I felt silksong was definitely harder, but I didn’t feel it was artificial. The run backs were pretty mild once you figure out a route save for bilewater, and even that you get the run down after a few times and its not terrible.

Honestly, the biggest wall for me was that stupid red guy at the start. They did break out the double damage early and robustly.

Oh sure, I don’t mind sharing.

I got bottom surgery around fiveish years ago, I was thirty. I started my transition mid twenties though, so I was pretty well established by that point.

Detransition stories are really sad, but fortunately it’s pretty rare that someone transitioned when they shouldn’t. Something like 9% of people detransition at some point, but many of those are due to societal pressures, and a lot of those people actually retransition later. The actual rate of regret over transition is something like 0.4%, and the overwhelming majority of trans people find it makes their life better.

Oh no, I’ve had surgery. I don’t have a penis or testicles any more.

And thank you, but don’t worry. I’m pretty secure in my identity at this point. I’m much happier in my skin than I ever was before. I just meant like, I’m running on estrogen now, I have a body I can feel comfortable in, and so I don’t know that it really matters in a practical sense what chromosomes I have or whether I’m “technically male” or something.

I just don’t really care tbh. I know my chromosomes haven’t changed, I’m fully sterile, and at this point the nature of my biology only really effects my doctors. I’m under no delusion that I can one day give birth or anything, if that’s what you’re driving at?

I had intended the former, so I’m regretting my choice of verbiage now. Oops.

Yeah, pretty much. I know different trans people think about themselves pre-transition differently, but that’s how I see it for myself

Yeah, haven’t had any issues since, fortunately.

Nah you’re right this was stupid

Yeah, definitely don’t need pictures! Just hoping for interesting stories.

May 1st, the day outdoor fuckin’ starts. I think the celebration is obvious, and it think it would help build empathy and compassion for our cumpatriots, bettering society.

As a child, I missed with a potato peeler, and my left thumb is permanently marred with a mild scar

I know you lot have better stories though

I got harassed by men by the gay bar outside my apartment multiple times in my early twenties, back when I was a guy. They were all pretty minor overall, but it definitely freaked me out at the time. I lived in an apartment complex above a gay bar in downtown. It was a shitty, cheap place where there was no washer or dryer in unit and no fan in the bathroom. Mold was a constant problem.

One time, I was informed I “swish so hard I bring three people with me”, a quote that’s stuck with me forever, and then a dude stood close by while another guy stroked my face. I had my dog with me so I didn’t know what else to do and basically just ran.

Another time I was leaving the pizza shop also in this building complex, and a couple drunk guys out there struck up a conversation that quickly became my chest and crotch getting groped. Honestly less creepy than the face stroking, ngl.

I uh, transitioned since all of that happened though. And some random chick like me saying some drunk guys at the gay bar really wanted to grope me doesn’t really carry much weight at this point.

Naked baby oil handcuff twister actually sounds really super fun

Honestly, those on wall speakers look about perfect, thank you so much! Now to convince the husband this is a necessary expenditure.

This is the world they want.

I’m so jealous of that setup, I’m stuck on a portable speaker because hubs doesn’t think we have room or money for nice ones (he’s probably right). Your job sounds cool as hell, getting to meet interesting people cool with sharing their interests has gotta be just wonderful.
