I played Gen 1 as a kid and didn’t play Pokemon again til Black and White. It was an amazing leap to see the first and last pixel animated mainline Pokemon games, and both had their own unique set of 150 Pokemon. It’s like a showcase of how much the series had grown.

Incidentally, it was the last mainline Pokemon game I actually enjoyed.

Covid Vaccine.

The timeline works, actually.

Gen:Lock season 1 happens, lol

FFXIV because I’m trans and I think it’s a requirement at that point.

Buddy, you’re not gonna believe this…

something something Gorilla Warfare.

There are many leftists and minorities that have “voted strategically” time and time and time again only for things to get worse and worse.

This kind of disenfranchisement leads to apathy and low turnout.

We are told from a young age that our vote matters, and then when we are older we are told you can only vote for red fascist or blue fascist and many choose not to participate.

There are more who did not vote than who voted for Trump. This is not what the majority wants, but with the system as it is, it is not possible for the majority to voice what they actually genuinely want and have a chance to get it.

The votes do not have to be rigged at the ballot box for voting as a whole system to be rigged.

I’d love to see Chrono Trigger get the 2D-3D octopath-style remake that a few old SNES games have gotten.

Absolutely this. It speaks a lot that it’s easier for a millionaire to pirate the game than to get it legally. Make it easy and cheap and people will use it.

Have a look at Asexuality. Might be helpful.

It’s a shame, really. A non-centralized internet has existed before and must exist again if it’s to remain useable. It’s sad so many have given up because of early internet struggles. Things are even far less painful now than I remember them being in the past.

They’re both running against fascists, lol.

James, while John had had “had”, had had “had had”. “Had had” had had a better effect on the teacher.

A little bit more emphasis during Star Wars that Vader wanted the Storm Troopers to aim poorly and let them get away. It would have solved decades of jokes and arguments about Storm Trooper weapon accuracy.

That’s the hard part. Find out what makes you happy and pursue that. Try different stuff and experiment.

In my experience, the euphoria I felt at the beginning was huge. From small things like making a femme character in a game and dressing her up in little outfits. Shaving and having a smooth face would do it, too. Big smiles and glee.

Over time, the feeling of being constantly awash in dysphoria lessened, and those feelings are a bit more “normal”, in a way. Like … Making a femme character now is the default. It’s who I am and almost always what I will spring for.

Also, I got laser hair removal and my face is much smoother by default now, and I only have to shave every few days to cut off the white hairs.

Those feelings of joy are still there, but they’re so common it takes something huge to make me feel the same “level” of euphoria I did in the past.

But dysphoria hits harder imo since it’s much more rare.

HRT helped me a lot with this, less because of the physical effects, and more the mental. I had a lot of depression start lifting when I started HRT and it helped me feel things more strongly. The euphoria hit harder, as the dysphoria faded.

Huge disclaimer here, tho. “your mileage may very” is VERY real. No one account from any other girl’s HRT journey was just like mine.

The hard part will be figuring out what makes YOU feel the best and push towards that. This is your journey, and if that journey needs you to just reduce your dysphoria a bit before you can find your joy, then take pleasure in that feeling of being you.

Always remember also that gender isn’t binary. Testing out new looks can be helpful. Maybe your euphoria can be found in more gender non conforming looks, or nonbinary aesthetics. Maybe not idk.

The good news is that it’s up to you. Good luck, cat! <3
