it's really cool having the correct hormones nowadays. funny how you don't like your body much if you don't
i'm really happy about looking my age / looking like an adult nowadays. and i've been going to the gym, so it's been pretty cool putting on muscle and getting stronger and stuff
i guess it's not AGING aging, but it's stuff i def appreciate (i'm in my early thirties for context)
there's been a recent meme of responding to people making any remarks related to the ps5/ps5 pro by saying "notice how they're X instead of playing games on the ps5", with the implication that the ps5 has no games
e.g. notice how they're arguing online about the ps5 instead of playing games on the ps5
it's not a very serious bit (since obv people can do more than one thing) but it's also funny because it's purposely being obtuse about the situation
that's so crazy they're really double dipping in that the shooter hates queer ppl and then the media calls him queer to slander queer ppl
STOP, pick one ffs
these are not totally serious thoughts, altho they reflect my kind of feelings about it
but IP should be periodically put to a vote, maybe a year or two after a major release, in which the public decides if they should retain ownership of the IP
if not? it's released into public domain. obviously the original company / creator can still do something with it, but others can, as well. but if they do a good job keeping people happy with it, they can keep it
obviously this has some problems, mostly about constantly polling people and probably only dealing with IP that's popular enough
but the idea gives me some deep satisfaction after seeing some companies ruin their IP, and i like the idea of consumers having some power to punish them for being shitty lol
this take in the article was really funny
My guess at the real reason for all this grave dancing is that it feels like a victory over FOMO. If the new $40 game sucks and no one is playing it, I can safely go back to whatever I was playing before without worrying that anyone's having fun without me.
i don't know what most people's reasons for deriving enjoyment from concord's failure are, but there's no way FOMO cracks the top 3 lmao
seeing the trailer, i definitely thought it was a bandwagon hero shooter that might have had some creativity if a bunch of suits didn't say "make it GotG", but realistically, it launched with little fanfare, in competition with valve's first new game (beta) in ages. not that it was fated to fail but it didn't have a lot going for it
hard to provide any advice with the limited info you've given. are you detransitioning just based on that feeling? are there other factors? who have you come out to? how long have you been out to them? how accepting is your culture? how accepting are your family / friends?
but also, given you haven't done much in your transition, and assuming you haven't been out that long, you should be able to just pretty much go "actually i changed my mind / was experimenting" and that's that
more than the content of the video, which i am already pretty much sold on, is a passing line mentioned in the video - "resilience is built on uniqueness". that's an idea i've never encountered before, would love to hear other people's opinions on it
