Last I checked offline hours didn’t count either, yeah. I’m not sure if anything is supposed to have changed in the meantime, as it’s been a while.

As a Brazilian who grew up in a not too remote area, modchipped PS2s were everywhere growing up, as it was the only realistic option to game for the vast majority. Things have shifted a bit these days, but it did use to be like that.
As a result, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a legit PS2 game or an og Xbox/GameCube for that matter lol.
That’s beautiful, thanks for sharing! Hits particularly hard since I came out to my family very recently and whatnot and that’s been the gist of it as well 😅
Also, I was tempted to come up with a trans affirming Ghostbusters joke but it’s too much for my smooth brain tbh
As soon as I saw it was about “the whole gender stuff” I knew it had to be some garbage bigoted take lol
Haha yup, I didn’t connect the dots until I heard some trans folks bring it up a while ago, seen it mentioned a few extra times since. I definitely had some of the body image thing going on too but in hindsight there was some big, unknown discomfort I couldn’t quite put my finger on at the time. I legit couldn’t put into words just how deeply weird it felt to have my chest exposed and it bewildered people nearly as much as it did myself lol.
I (mtf) used to have the classic embarrassment about going shirtless as a boy, took me years to somewhat overcome. Still somewhat feel it these days but I begrudgingly deal with it anyway because my area is warm as heck.
Also always thought being a man was meh and women were fucking amazing and interesting in pretty much every way but that was totally because I was attracted to them and respectful, still totally cis though!
A particularly sad/hilarious one is the intense and euphoric recurring dreams about being a girl followed by inevitably waking up devastated, that’s totally a thing everyone has, right? Right, guys??
Yeah, at the of the day whatever they claim comes from dogma is king so being gay/women having bodily autonomy will always be considered some form of sin, regardless of how much they try to be “welcoming” to the people whose actions they claim are inherently sinful.
As a queer person I’m definitely biased, but I’ve always seen acts like those as empty gestures, a mockery of what actual empathy and acceptance are supposed to be. I just don’t see how those can truly flourish within organized religion as I’ve known it, my way or the highway is how it all works by design so it’s a lost cause as far as I’m concerned.
I respect your reaction a lot. The world would be a much more pleasant place if more people were willing to look past their comfort zone and see institutionalized hate for what it is.
I’ve been done with them for most of my life by now but I really didn’t think they could sound much more bigoted, at least not this loudly. Joke’s on me, I guess! This tacitly endorses several major human rights issues going on right now.
They’ve been saying the quiet part out loud for a while when it comes to gay people while also trying here and there to pay lip service to them since it’s not as socially acceptable to hate on that particular minority anymore. This though, is as official and hateful a middle finger as it gets with no punches pulled, particularly at gender diverse folks. At this point I can only hope it leads to more followers realizing the institution is rotten to the core and distancing themselves from them, much like yourself.
The old classic “I’m way too masculine to transition so I’d never be happy with myself, may as well tough it out”. And in retrospect it was full-on denial, I’m pretty much as androgynous as someone who’s gone through male puberty can get lol
Appreciate the thought, I did take a look but they don’t ship to my country. Amazon, AliExpress and whatnot do so that’s where I’ll try to find a decent enough knockoff lol
Edit: Upon closer inspection, it looks like I was mistaken and they are indeed able to ship pretty much anywhere. I’ll investigate!
Not yet but I intend to get one soon! No Ikea around here, so probably gonna have to make do with a knockoff as well.
Anyhow, I’m boring so I’ll probably just call them Blåhaj lol. Your Gloria is glorious! :D
Probably late but freshly cracked trans girl here!
Very good point, in hindsight I should probably have clarified I was focusing on the written form when I replied
Just as an additional tidbit, it’s the same in Portuguese as well!
Well, in that case I can only hope my next run goes better! Not taking a few decades to realize I’m a girl or just spawning with the right body would help a lot lol, wouldn’t mind permanently unlocking that for future runs.
FWIW I’ve been daily driving Bazzite on the deck for several months and it’s been smooth sailing, no complaints here. You’d think it’s stock if I just handed it to you with no context. I did it mostly because I could tbh, but I love the extra functionality!
That all said, last I checked it wasn’t fully functional on the OLED model. Not sure that’s changed.
That’s totally valid, just wanted to share my two cents from having messed with systemd a fair bit. At any rate, congrats, that’s a win for sure! :)
I’ve always been under the impression they don’t support multi touch at all, I guess your findings corroborate that. Niche as your use case is, I do love the idea though!
I knew a tvtropes link was going to be here as soon as I saw the question lol, here goes my next three hours I guess
