I keep trying to get into the games but never finish :/

I got very close to the end of p3p way back when that was a new game. I got past the second palace in p5r but fell off again. I feel like I get fomo in games where I try and do everything when I play a game but that's just not really feasible in persona. Same reason baldurs gate intimidates me.

It's a mental block I need to get over

Fair enough! It's back up :)

Yeah we posted a similar story at basically the exact same time

Damn that timing! I just posted the same thing (article though). I'll delete mine though.

Regarding the news though this is awesome!

Idk. Some apps have link previews which def makes it longer. You also have the option of not including review quotes which shortens it. I don't think it's too bad ¯(ツ)_/¯

Game looks like some chill fun if / when I end up in the mood for an open world game. Sounds like some technical issues need to get ironed out so seems like a good pick up on sale game for me

No problem! Glad you figured it out :)

I go to the open critic page and nab their reddit formatted review thread from the copy button under "share this game." Then I click on the reddit export.

This formats it nicely for Lemmy as well and I just paste that in

Any possibility to post a link to the presentation or slides when it's ready? Sounds super interesting!

Oh for sure I definitely agree there haha. As far as software is concerned I don't like the epic store. Steam is much better on that front. But I also don't have any true moral issue with the epic store. Especially for playing a game they funded. Epic also funded and published the Alan Wake remaster. They effectively were able to bring back a long dormant series, and for that I am happy since Alan Wake 2 ended up being one of my all time favorite games.

I wish they didn't have to keep it in their store, since I like steam more, but at the end of the day I'm not too bothered by it

I find the game plays a lot better than the first one. I played the remaster recently and found it a bit of a slog to get through but absolutely adored the sequel

Control is on steam because it was published by 505 games.

Don't get me wrong I'm anti epic buying exclusivity for games. But like if they fully funded the development and published it....

Alan Wake 2 was published by and likely would not exist without Epic. It is unlikely it will come to steam

CW: some discussion of transphobia

Tomorrow I get to have a call with a side of the family I haven't talked to in almost 2 years. Since coming out publicly, my family has been surprisingly good. There are slip ups and ideas that are meh but overall it's gone better than I thought. With the exception of one part of my family.

My dad's birth father and his family. Tbf while I know my grandpa's feelings. I am not sure about the rest. I believe my more liberal aunt who I'll be talking with tomorrow is fine with me, but I worry about my grandpa.

My grandpa has always been one of the most supportive and loving people in my life. When I lived away from all family for almost a decade, he was the only one who would regularly visit me. I hated where I was and he knew that. He knew the visits would make my time away easier. No one else in my family cared to. Sure my parents came occasionally. But it was maybe 3 times over the 8 years. My grandpa made a point to visit multiple times a year. Growing up he'd always be one of my biggest supporters. Even though I was a grandchild from a son he didn't raise and didn't know all that well. We were close. I was close with all of that part of my family.

I can't really describe how devastating it was when I learned he had no intention of ever accepting me and I would always be dead name to him. He used to call me roughly once every couple months. I haven't heard from him in almost 2 years.

His daughter reached out to me last week. We're going to chat tomorrow. I think in an attempt to rekindle our relationship. Idk how to feel or what to expect. I want to rekindle our relationship. But I'm worried about what emotional position that will put me in. Thinking about him almost always ends up with me sobbing

Can't think of anything massive off the top of my head. We vibing here and I generally am quite happy with the instance :3

Happy you're back!

Pronouns don't necessarily = gender. Someone can identify as a woman. Be into other women, and still prefer he / him pronouns. It is a real thing

While I don't personally agree with OP, I still believe that they are discussing in good faith. I see nothing here that says they think NB people are "alt right trolls". Our rule here is to be(e) nice. Please don't resort to unfounded personal attacks

As another trans woman, I just have to say you do not speak for all trans women. I have met sooooo many trans women whose idea of transness are much different to my own. It's so broad and expansive there are no absolutes here

This is absolutely unacceptable here

I guess I just really don't see it that way. Man and woman and "she/her" and "he/him" are so much more than the way a body looks. Like someone could be the most traditionally culturally masculine looking person and go by she/her. That's valid, that's fine.

I don't see it as the studio not seeing you as a woman. I am somewhat confused by that statement. Like you get the ability to choose she /her with a couple body options. The she / her is the woman here no? They recognize it as a thing. You can look however. I mean fuck I certainly don't have a body type B, but I'm still a woman
