    Played Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, one of the games I never played as a kid, and it's just how I remembered this series, very cozy. Though I did have to use UHS Hints a bit

    I've noticed I can bookmark a post. Is there a place in the app to view bookmarked posts? I could not find one. Ty for making this app, it's quite good (rip RiF)

    Trans or transfeminine does not mean trans girl, it just means not cis. I agree that Jax might be some shade of nonbinary rather than binary trans

    The show is telling us. Most explicitly with Isn't She Lovely, but in many other ways too. This video brings them all together https://youtu.be/XhJWG7HW1u4

    There are two trans characters in the show. One is explicit, one is relatively unsubtle subtext

    As a trans person, I don't get why they're not all transmaxxing. If you live in a big city, you don't have to deal with a lot of the negatives, while you do get positives like looking younger, getting the same sorts of compliments cis women get (hair, accessories, etc), and straight up looking more attractive. End the male loneliness epidemic by taking the pink pill and transmaxxing!

    I had been considering getting YouTube Premium because I feel bad about using the website while blocking all their ads, but $14/month is ridiculous. Even the annual plan lowering that to more like $12/month is too much. Nebula is just $5/month and that's a creator-owned company that has to actually be sustainable and grow at the same time while having a much smaller userbase. $5/month is a reasonable price, $14/month is not

  14. Comment on Dolphin Emulator no longer releasing on Steam, still legally safe in ~tech

    They're somehow ignoring the bigger request? Dolphin should really be laying low. First thing a lawyer always says is to not make public statements. I'm surprised their lawyer did not tell them to...

    Nintendo made no demands and made only a single request to Valve.

    We specifically request that Dolphin’s “coming soon” notice be removed and that you ensure the emulator does not release on the Steam store moving forward.

    They're somehow ignoring the bigger request?

    Nintendo requests that Valve retain backup copies of anything removed, and retain any communications Valve may have received or does receive from the Dolphin developers.

    Dolphin should really be laying low. First thing a lawyer always says is to not make public statements. I'm surprised their lawyer did not tell them to not make this post

    Is it on the parents to know what girls will be into when their son will be of age and mold him to be that? I think parents telling a child to be one way because that's what girls are into is really damaging. Parents are often really bad at knowing what girls in their children's generation are into. Let the kid be who they want to be, and if at some age they want to change to be attractive to the kind of people they're attracted to, they can do that. Especially considering about 20% of gen z adults, ie people age 18-25, which is the youngest group we have polling for afaik, are lgbt+, which makes the arguments kind of fall apart anyway

    started reading Charles Perrault: The Complete Fairy Tales - A new translation by Christopher Betts (2009). From doing some looking around, it seems to be the best standard translation of Charles Perrault's French fairy tales, translating all the verse stories and morals into verse. Only read the first two so far, the first of which was The History of Griselda, which is kind of wild. Story is told from the point of view of a prince who marries this woman and treats her horribly and is like damn, she put up with all that, good for her. Unlike other women, she's cool. According to the introduction, this version of the story is written to give more of an emphasis to how awful the prince is and be more sympathetic to Griselda than other versions of the story, but still wild. I can see why this is not one of the fairy tales that has endured in popular culture, unlike many, if not most, of the stories in this book. The verse is kind of weird because it feels like it should be in iambic pentameter and it almost is, but isn't quite, so it's kind of just mid rhyming, but it's cute idk. Dunno how it compares to the original French
