  • Metaphorically grinding my teeth, dealing with an agonizing amount of mental anguish. Gender dysphoria is hitting me like a freight train, and I’m having a hell of a time trying to focus on anything else. Planning on phoning my GP this week if I don’t hear from the specialist they were supposed to refer me to. Failing that, I may have to look at my DiY options, potential health risks be damned.

  • If you’re a fan of Star Trek, they have quite a few excellent titles. Personal favs are Armada II (RTS), Bridge Commander (Ship Sim, even better with mods!), and Elite Force (you’re a Security officer on Voyager, FPS made by the Quake developers.

  • One, I like Corvids. Brilliant birds they are, various mythologies around them, etc.

    The latter portion is a reference to an old gaming clan I was a part of in my youth called MotR: Mercenaries of the Republic. It was a Star Wars Republic Commando clan, one of the biggest among them. I was part of Nyx Squad, and we were the biggest group of misfits and weirdos among the other squads. We weren’t always the most skilled, but damn we had character, and we had fun.

  • We need to move beyond capitalism. What a miserable existence inflicted upon us who see no other way to live than by stepping on others - enough so they diminish the lives of children to be nothing more than tools. Honestly, every lawmaker who’s pushing for this deserves a good, strong punch to the mouth and then some. This constant push to hoard wealth and damn the consequences is killing us all.

  • Watching the second season of Assassination Classroom. It’s a surprisingly wholesome meditation on teaching wrapped up in a shounen high school story.

  • These are good ideas, thank you 💜

  • I believe you misunderstood me. I didn’t suggest the owner of said skeleton was trans; rather, the pervasive transphobic comment suggesting archaeologists digging up our skeletons will see us ‘as we really are’, i.e. our AGAB, is a load of proverbial horseshit when we literally have a case here where scientists had difficulty determining the skeleton’s sex in the first place, by what they thought was a male pelvic bone. I simply like how reality isn’t quite as cut and dry as transphobes like to think, and thought it funny a news article flipping the table on their argument (as absurd as it is anyhow, because who gives a shit what other people think of their skeleton thousands of years from now).

  • The story and the roleplaying were boilerplate, not something you want in a series known for being rich in both. Could tell you about 5 minutes after the prologue who the main antagonist really was. It was the kind of twist Vince Russo would pull in the old WCW days. The heavy focus on crafting and the pain of having to defend places throughout the wasteland was also a big turnoff for me. Felt like a lot of busywork and fluff to pad the game out. I avoid and drop games that don’t feel like they respect my time.

    All in all, it wasn’t a good game for me, but I’m glad some folks enjoyed it.

  • Access to the Internet is important, but not so much it ruins our night sky and our ability to explore the universe from home. And let’s be real, it’s not about Internet access here. Those satellites are Starlink and that turdbasket Elon Musk’s attempt to corner the market as much as possible, regardless of who it harms, or how much damage it causes. It’s capitalist bullshit, and should be kneecapped and regulated before it becomes a much bigger problem.

  • Probably the closest thing we’ll get to right-wing performance art.

  • You can’t be misled when his hatred for LGBTQ+ folks has been front and centre for his entire campaign.
