this is a stupid present, though.

just think how much MORE stupid our future can get!!

I interpreted it as "Estrogen made it so girls like me", but I really enjoyed the other possible interpretations

more sincerely: I felt more confident around other trans girls, and I think that made them like me more. I also have had a litany of experiences, even having had been on HRT for only a few months, which allowed me to tap into that experiential empathy that I didn't have before.

i have made many Interpretations of your good post:

Estrogen-made girls, like me.

Has anyone noticed these estrogen-made girls? Did you know estrogen can make girls?

Estrogen [created] girls like me.

Has anyone noticed this? Did you know it can create girls, like me?

Estrogen made [it so] girls like me.

Has anyone noticed girls like you more after estrogen? Did you know estrogen can make girls like you?

Estrogen maid-girls, like me

Has anyone noticed the maid girl? Did you know maid girls can do that?

honorable mention: Estrogen-made girl-like (me)

i've been struggling with gender stuff, and "estrogen-made girl-like (me)" is giving me much to consider,..,

most of your growth happens with a democrat in the white house #obama #biden

If you like a scripty solution, Python's matplotlib is pretty good, but pandas (dataframe manipulation library) also has a quick dataframe.plot(...) method that I lile.

If I had a better idea of what your data would look like (pairs of date string x file size?) I could give you a quick 10-liner that would do it too

What kind of graph? A node-edge graph data structure? A bar chart, etc?

1. I don't know what a Sims is... I bet our Pope didn't either.

2. Believe it or not, I haven't seen Naruto, I didn't have highschool Spanish, and I thought Tarkovsky made music. I think most Popes could say so. Now, Undertale on the other hand?

3. The essence of God is lacking, I think

4. The papal headerquarters should be located in Washington D.C., United States, and established by force.

5. I am the True Pope

i personally maintain five different diaries of various todo lists. seven if you count jira and whatnot at my personal blog. you can never have too many diaries and lists

this is still a good post

I remember playing Infinite ~10+ years ago, knowing very little else about the series. I thought it was a short and enjoyable shooter RPG as someone who was made tired by New Vegas.

It was never a contender for my Favorite Game or anything though. I think I felt similarly to the things you expressed here. I didn't particularly like mainstream games, and the games I liked were poorly received. I was really waking up to indie games at this time.

To shift topics: It's uncanny how much of this review could apply to Halo Infinite, despite only sharing half a name and half a genre.

Big systems evidently ripped out and added during development? Check. Frictionless environment complemented by an AI companion who also has no friction? Check. Superpower action shooter? Pretends to have the level of map detail you get in an immersive sim? Meant to have a real relationship to Halo to the space? Check, check, check.

I think the developers were so worried that people would make fun of her for being in the way that she’s not really there at all.

This is the one thing I really liked, but I think also ties in to your later point about being a game for games reviewers. I remember bad companions being a major complaint-du-juor. I remember playing some of those games up until the point an annoying companion appears, and then not playing those games any more.

What’s a mainstream game look like these days? Is it Fromsoft?

I think so. It feels like half the games released nowadays are trying to take something from Dark Souls.

I used to consider Nintendo as something which exists in a sort of alter-mainstream of their own making, which I do love, but Nintendo's latest releases really seem to be taking a page from the FromSoft Boss Design Book. (Dread and TotK being big examples.)

That said, the "mainstream" for the 2020s includes Hellblade, Astrobot, Helldivers, Balatro, Alan Wake 2, Psychonauts, etc. I don't think all hope is lost. Those are all games I didn't play yet, but, hey! That includes a AAA 3D platformer from a company not named Nintendo!

Good review, thank you for posting this

it's bad. it was like a soda machine. i think they just mixed water with espresso slurry

I apologize, I had to spend a bit of time to figure out what a "female donation reader" was. I parse that as "female donations" needing a "reader" at first, but now I understand they're just people who read out donations.

I can't find any of the threads, but I don't think I'm surprised to learn the speedrunning community is tinged with at least a little bit of misogyny.

Regarding Marie in place of Skylar, I didn't know it at first either. It felt intentional to me, and I think I read generously into that.

:D i had such a brunch with friends a year ago. i highly recommend brunch with old friends

i could copy paste my reply re: holly's wisdom teeth!! keep us updated, excited for you :>

perhaps the new local area fills you with the explorers soul? perhaps the context is changing you?

good report! nintendo really fucked this one up!

yayyy :D good luck with the recovery!! that's probably gonna feel a lot better afterwards

How was the fried chicken?

I'm moving somewhere with some good hiking, and I am excited for that :D I love a good hike

I just moved from Columbia, Columbia to Columbia, Columbia! It was scary passing through Columbia, it's practically the Columbia of the Columbia region. (But not as bad as Columbia)
