It should in theory, but the internet keeps funneling me to people who use it in tandem with radical feminism and everything you'd expect from that, so it feels gatekept imo and has been hard for me to want to use anyway

everyone would agree that if you believe in what is right, it doesn't matter if it's controversial. i would go a step further and say: you should not even concede to the *idea* that what you believe is controversial.

trans rights is only controversial if you act like it's controversial.

If you are/hope/plan to be partnered to a trans masculine person (be them binary or not) with chest dysphoria, please read this. And if you don't know whether they deal with said dysphoria, I strongly encourage you to have a conversation with them about it.

People came extremely prepared for rain so in my last few matches, I mostly played with rain optional or no rain, with adaptability basculegion instead of swift swim and that was fun

This is called: I learned a lot about playing VGC during the doubles draft and want to give a rain team a proper shot now that I know more and also I just had to grab male basculegion for my living dex, which I used to great effect on my team

I just published a new game for the Ink Game Jam!
You had to use @inkle.co's scripting language, Ink, with the theme "The Big Switch," which was perfect, since I was wanting to do a game about being #transmasc!
Let me know what you think!

oh btw if you guys liked Silent Hill f may I suggest Detention. It's by the same studio that made Devotion. It takes place during White Terror in Taiwan and has some really great horror elements from Taiwanese mythology.

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

"...you'll see where I cashed out midway through. This baby rode the lightning at critical health for half its lifespan."

- A recent post by a dev in our internal Discord.

Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator is out in 2026!

An alien child, green with large dark green eyes, has multiple alien creatures wearing suits scrambling up its head. Atop the babies head, where all the other aliens are reaching, is one alien holding a briefcase of cash. "Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator" is written next to the baby. Behind that text is a stock ticker arrow that has moved up and down but, at the end of it, is pointing up.

A furry looking baby floats in space. Beside them , text reads...

1 Pursued Night School
2 Survived a Suicide Mission
3 Punched Commanding Officer
4 Re-Drafted Into Service
5. Failed to defuse exposive

To the right of the baby is a stock chart, showing a good trend of growth on the investments made. Text by this chart reads

Baby Value
Invested Stock

Avg. Stock Price: 278
Avg. Sale Price: 335

Below it shows that after trading stocks on this baby the investory made 1427 and are now invited to continue.

Most of the screen is taken up by a line graph, charting the rise and fall in stock price of a babies life. At this point, thay are 46 and the line has had a big dip. Above the graph in red text in a box with arrows pointing down it says "Bitten by Horse". Which is, what has happened to the baby at this point of its life. The baby is called "Pollo" and the extra information to the right of this chart tells us they are "unwell". Which adds up, having being bitten by a horse. Who among us could claim to be at their peak post-horse bite? You? Well, honestly, I want to know your story. Did you develop powers? Did the collected germs in the horses mouth actually counteract some viral agent that had just recently hit your veins? Or were you just having such a bad time that the horse biting you was actually the best part of your day? Seriously, let me know!

D. Yes and I cried the entire time. It just felt right for their character arc, and keeping the grey wardens stable was more important
I even had Stroud as the grey warden!

I promise: you are not "betraying" or "abandoning" someone by refusing to take on responsibility for their emotional regulation.

You're setting a boundary that is compassionate & realistic-- for both of you.
