    i feel like thats a little bit of a cynical response, especially when i havent really seen any companies try and take advantage of these things. the only thing that might be close is some trans clinics in canada(?) using special blahajs as a way to comfort people(?) i dont remember the exact source but someone could probably find this

    I used to fish a lot with my dad when i was younger but now that im a lot older ive become a lot more closed off with my parents and havent gone fishing with him since. doesnt help that now all they wanna talk about is me and school and its just not a fun topic. But that said, when we used to fish we would mostly catch catfish in a canal by a port town, we didnt eat any of them we would just catch and release.

    i never really saw that as an issue personally but i can see how some might find it annoying or uncomfortable, i never really considered it. within my friend group we have a lot of trans people who have an insane ability to be able to tell whether or not someone will be trans or not, usually by the way they act and so far theyve been right a couple times. They dont really mention it a lot because you shouldnt be labeling people, especially if you dont know them a lot. also they never tell them to their face theyll just discuss it in private which i think is a better way to go about it because then theyre able to kinda lead the other person into self discovery.

    I will say there are definitely some vocal minorities out there in the communities that will chastise people for not being "enough" when the whole point of the LGBT+ movement is for people to accept who they are. There shouldnt be such a thing as "gay enough", it just doesnt make sense. glad you can at least find a way to be happy with yourself and who you are though, theres definitely people that still struggle with that.

    By this i mean things like blahaj, programmer socks, etc. Personally i think theyre kinda funny and i myself have gotten my own blahaj as a way to show my "trans license" but i was wondering how other people might feel about them. Perhaps some people think theyre overdone or they just dont agree with them.

    A few ones from my library that i havent seen people post about yet that i would recommend would be an rpg like omori, beautiful game btw, wargroove is a good rts game that doesnt require any sort of reflexes, dyson sphere program is a game similar to factorio in which its just pure factory management (though as an early access game it still needs a bit more work), and needy streamer overload which is a bit more of a horror visual novel with some epilepsy warnings here and there.
    Seconding some other games people have said I would definitely recommend rimworld, any dragon quest game, the witness, and baba is you, all of these are great games that definitely can appeal to an audience with disabilities.

    i tried above and beyond but not having the most current version of create kinda sucked and also getting kinda throttled on resources became an issue fairly quickly, you couldnt really renew resources and the djinns were not that good
    that said, i would totally recommend create: astral if you want a more updated version, it follows a very similar progression as above and beyond but a bit more streamlined i feel

    I personally cannot stand playing vanilla minecraft anymore and always play modded, recently ive been playing through Create: Astral and its so much fun. I love the steampunk factories of create and even though im terrible at automating its still so much fun to just mess around. I was wondering if anybody else has any other favorite modpacks they've been playing recently.

    I built my own PC as soon as I was able to afford one, this was fairly recently so I haven't had to swap out anything besides the graphics card because my old one seemed to just die on me out of nowhere. Now I'm running on a 3060 rather than a 1050ti so at least it was a worthwhile upgrade, my next plan is probably to upgrade my CPU
    My current specs are:
    16GB RAM
    AMD Ryzen 5 1600
    RTX 3060
    800W corsair PSU
    MSI 48" monitor

    Hoping to upgrade CPU sometime in the near future to maybe a ryzen 7 but we'll just see, I built this PC about two years ago and I have never felt happier gaming on a PC
