I prefer to use mine to solve sudoku on a sinking ship

get OUT OF HERE, creepy shoe man!!

(I am excited for this though)

Ya, I’m excited! (But less creepy shoe man this time please)

I enjoyed the first season, even as someone with very low tolerance for ecchi and harems. I decided to nope out on the second season though when I learned our boy’s harem has some creepy age gaps and incest in it. I figured I’d just let myself imagine the rest of the show instead of continuing until it’s too uncomfortable to watch. Plus, in my imaginary version, Friend A can come back and make the title slightly inaccurate.

Does Clair Obscur count as a souls-like mash-up? Because hoo boy has it been a lot of fun. I’ve been describing it to people as the midpoint between dark souls and paper mario

I have no knowledge on the topic so I can’t answer the first couple questions.

However, I will say its a useful correction to say there are ongoing efforts to maintain historical practices if it makes the correctee happy to hear that (as is the case in the meme). It’s also useful to remember that indigenous peoples still exist and aren’t just historical (something a lot of US folks aren’t taught in school)

I believe it’s the verb tenses. Instead of it being a historical fact, it’s an ongoing practice of an ongoing group of people

You should check out Total Fantasy Knockout. The author has stated multiple times that the exact nature of the unavoidable queerness of the story is left for the audience to decide and that they just want to cause people to realize things about themselves, lol.

I do get kind of frustrated when transfems claim for their “team” characters whose experiences and stated feelings map really well onto transmasc experiences, but I understand the impulse and at some point we all just need to take what we can get. (For the record, Ranma does not fall into that camp for me because he very much does not seem to have dysphoria, lol)

Hardly anyone reads Ranma as a transmasc character though, mostly because he was born and raised male and his female form is rather new. Instead, he’s typically seen as the transfem egg fantasy of “oh no someone made me become a girl! Oh well, there’s nothing I can do.” In the actual text of the anime/manga, he is pretty adamant that he’s a guy, but mostly seems to want to get rid of his female form because it’s inconvenient (he gets comfortable being seen as a woman pretty quickly). IMO it’s got some genderqueer/gnc flavor, but doesn’t map very well onto more binary trans experiences.

I’m really not a fan of .ml, but I’m not sure I see what’s objectionable in either of these posts.

I’ve heard that part of it is a spoiler and part of it is a pun that’s impossible to translate

Best time of year. I love my little octopus skeleton 🐙 💀 💕

Them: i got an error

Me: ok, what did the error say

Them: i didn’t read it

Me: ok… well, can you take a look?

Them: i already turned off the computer

Gender dysphoria is not the same as being trans. Not all trans people have gender dysphoria and plenty of cis people do. Cis men who do steroids and cis women who get boob jobs typically do so to ease some level of gender dysphoria they feel. The only reason trans people get diagnosed and cis people don’t is the continuing view of transness as itself a disorder.

It’s very good, but for anyone planning on watching it: take the content warnings EXTREMELY seriously. The show does not mess around.

I’ve also heard there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, so it’s not 100% suffering. But golly gee wiz is there still a lot of suffering.

Unfortunately a lot of their money comes from adult men who already gamble on real horse racing (at least that’s what I’ve heard)

I’ve heard that recommendation a lot - “play DS1 first because otherwise you won’t have the patience to play it later”, and TBH all that tells me is to skip 1, play the more recent entries, and then move on to the many, many other games that I keep meaning to play, lol.

Edgeworth’s games are very different in structure but SO GOOD. I played the first one when it came out and it instantly became my favorite in the series. I still need to get around to playing the sequel though, lol.

I’ve bounced off a couple souls games before but I’m now like 150 hours deep into elden ring on a friend’s copy, lol, but they only have the base game. I’d like to play the dlc (which is not on sale) eventually so I think it makes sense to get my own copy at some point (I’ve heard transferring saves is pretty easy on pc)

ETA: I normally don’t like hard games but I keep feeling like elden ring is encouraging me to be better rather than trying to defeat me, which is a difference I think a lot of hard games miss

Ugh, I have to decide between the various ace attorney collections, elden ring, and lies of p, because I can’t justify buying all of them…
