kasran, fourier transfemme @typhlosion@awoo.space

do they make prosthetic human testicles and are they available to trans folks who want an orchiectomy for hormone reasons but don't want to lose their balls

@DotMaetrix calling my yuri zines "chick tracts" as a form of reclamation

@lioness also, like many good roguelites, this game is absolutely lousy with unlocks and meta progression, so there's almost always something new to do or try or look for, which gives it huge replay value

@lioness you attack automatically and the only input you have in the moment-to-moment gameplay is moving around and selecting which powerup you get when you level up, which sounds boring but winds up being quite satisfying, because you get strong enough over the course of a run that you wind up mowing down huge hordes of the smaller enemies

also runs have a time limit, usually 30 minutes, which makes it easy to play for short periods. you CAN circumvent the limit but not til much later

@OchotonidKnight i haven't! i'll give it a poke sometime

@silverhawke vampire survivors went on early access in 2021 and came out fully in 2022. to my understanding it gets regular updates still. but around the time it was exploding in popularity and showing up in the game journalisms and stuff, i didn't play it

@chirpbirb i dont even have the excuse of not being able to afford a cutting edge computer, i built myself a whole new one just a few months ago. im just easily distractable and also my backlog is enormous

i'm feeling a bit like the guy from xkcd #606 lately because it seems i get on games a few years after the period where they're in vogue, but ive been playing a lot of vampire survivors lately and wow i get why this game inspired a whole microgenre

@Violet @lydia that's high praise, shmups almost universally have incredible music

@lydia why my modded 3ds is right next to me at my desk, i'll have to check it out

@Taweret Bigsfoot

@lydia i had to look this up and apparently it's bundled with another game called Radirgy Swag??? the names alone make me want to get these games

the success of hamilton proves that the broadway audience has an appetite for hip-hop. the next step is obvious: a stage musical adaptation of Straight Outta Compton

you can make any statement sound more poignant by adding "really makes you think" at the end of it. really makes you think, doesn't it

@Patashu it's my specialty!
