  • OK, so hold up. This isn’t testing if a woman is trans. This test also disqualifies cis women who have genetic conditions that give them masculine physical traits. This article gives examples of women’s gold medalists who are cis but would now be disqualified.

    We might have to replace the men’s and women’s categories with “open” and “two X chromosomes”. Cis and trans people of all genders might be surprised to find whether or not they qualify for the “two X chromosomes” category. Particularly effeminate cis men might qualify for “two X chromosomes”. This actually seems like a fair way to level the playing field, accomplishing what the current men’s and women’s divisions try to do.

    I am a little worried about the idea of disqualifying athletes for having beneficial genes. This could have implications beyond women’s sports, like being banned from basketball for being too tall.



  • Whether you decide to fight or flee, I won’t judge you. Do what makes sense for you and your loved ones. This is a difficult decision. Don’t let Lemmy guilt trip you over it.

    I have a family and kids that need me. I’ll support the resistance where I can, but I can’t fight on the front lines. I’m lucky I’m not a target of this administration yet, but if we go out and protest, we may become targets.

    In recent years, my family has been getting our passports together and fulfilling requirements to get jobs in another country. If things get violent in my hometown, we can flee across the border. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my family safe.

    If I was alone and no one depended on me, I’d disappear into the resistance. Somewhere, there’s a cache of vintage World War II weapons that would love to fight Nazis again. But, I’m honestly not the gun nut type.










  • Tony Hawk Pro Skater (the first one is the only one exclusive to PlayStation 1, THPS 2 and 3 came out on PS2)

    Hi! I’m an 0Ld Tony Hawk player, so let me break it down. Mouseover the acronyms for full titles if your client supports it.

    THPS1 and THPS2 were PS1 first, and then ported to Dreamcast, N64, and PC. THPS2 also got a weird Xbox port with THPS1 levels in it. That’s not counting the portable versions and later HD remakes.
    THPS3, THPS4, THUG1, THUG2, and THAW were all PS2/Xbox/GameCube first, and eventually PC too. The PS1, N64, and GBA got demakes of some of these games using the THPS2 engine, and they don’t feel right. THUG1’s PC port was exclusive to Australia and New Zealand 🤨. THUG2 has a PSP port. THUG2 PC mod THUG Pro is where the THPS community lives now. THAW has fantastic ports on DS and 360.
    THP8 and THPG were 360/PS3-exclusive, but THP8 was eventually ported to PS2.
    THPG and THDJ for DS were actually pretty good. Only the DS versions though.
    We don’t talk about Robomodo’s games.
