I love the type of gameplay that the Sims (specifically building and character creation, other stuff is boring af) has but it sucks so much to play because it’s so limited unless you spend thousands on all the dlc. I am a game dev (well, I call myself that but I’ve never released anything cuz I’m too busy with finishing up college rn) and I really want to make a life sim game one day. I’ve seen plenty of indie life sims fail unfortunately, but I’m still going to try anyways. I have a few ideas I haven’t seen anyone else do. So many of these games fail that I’m not afraid to try something a bit crazy and hope it sticks.

I do think their muscle would still be significantly reduced by the hormones, but the older someone is the more their body is “set in place.” This means any changes will take longer to occur and they may not happen to the degree that they would have if they started younger. So someone starting mid 20s - 30s likely won’t have skeletal changes, since that part of their body has already finished growing. (Someone starting as a young teen definitely will have skeletal changes though.)

Another misconception people have is that trans women are inherently stronger than cis women, which isn’t true. I know from anecdotal evidence, that it is extremely difficult for me to open jars now that I’ve been on estrogen and t blockers for over a year. My t is actually under the normal range for cis women, and usually I have to get my cis sister to open jars because she’s stronger than me now.

Also newer studies have shown trans women don’t actually have the competitive advantage conservatives say they have.

Yeah, I’m trans and I have an aunt with schizophrenia. After I came out she started behaving very strangely whenever I am around. For example, she doesn’t call me by my name or my deadname, and instead makes up strange nonsense words that she calls me. Then she gets angry when someone tries to correct her. I only see her at holidays and I always dread going whenever she has been invited because she makes me very uncomfortable.

The Debian logo is very similar to the progynova logo (progynova is estrogen). The above image is probably inspired by that.

I’m currently using Kubuntu, although I’m planning on switching to Debian or maybe NixOS at some point. Kubuntu works, but I don’t like snaps, and even though I’ve removed them I’d rather just not ever have to deal with them.

I first started with Mint, but didn’t like gnome/cinnamon which is why I switched to Kubuntu, but other than that it was fine.

You can always dual-boot if you want to use Linux but need Windows sometimes.

I read that as a poem, is it supposed to be one? It’s pretty good regardless of if that was intentional lol.

1. Have Nvidia card
2. Change the driver to see if I can fix a weird graphical issue I was having.
3. Rebooted computer and got stuck in boot loop because there was an error with the driver.

Yeah I know. Still have to pay for license though unless you like having the activate windows watermark in the corner.

I switched to Linux a few months ago after building a new computer as I didn’t feel like paying over $100 for an OS that has ads in the start menu and spammy popups.

Almost all of my games work fine and don’t have any issues with lag. The exception is GTA V which doesn’t work at all and Sims 4 which works fine but EA’s launcher has given me a few issues.

You shouldn’t have any issues with document editing or web browsing. In my experience printing actually works better on Linux than it did for me on Windows.

If you want you could dual boot or keep an old windows system around to play games that aren’t working on Linux, but in my experience, most games, especially indie games, work just fine on Linux.

I don’t use it because it makes blender run at like 5 fps for some reason.

Hey! I’m a trans FOSS enthusiast studying computer science and I hope to be a FOSS dev sometime in the future.

I stay inside pretty much all day. In terms of hanging out irl, the closest I do is vc lol. It actually would be nice to hang out with someone irl though.

Went there just now and did not get a pop up. Firefox does not detect any trackers.
