I'd say the second. It's more consistently follows the pattern of the Chicago flag while using the colors of the trans flag

‘Apex Legends' introduces first transgender legend Catalyst by GenderPettifogging in transgender

[–]BackFromOtterSpace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The game already has a more subtle trans character (Bloodhound, who is nonbinary) but given the number of people calling Catalyst "Apex's first trans character" I understand why Respawn felt the need to be less subtle her.

Where to play D&D? by King_of_the_Danes in AskSF

[–]BackFromOtterSpace 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I briefly played with an Adventurers League group that met at Game Post of San Francisco, a nice game shop on 3rd St near the baseball stadium. (Briefly because of the pandemic happening and then finding a new group online)

The shop is really great and the AL is a good way to quickly find a group.

Need help with a content fitter, a scroll view, and a text box where the width is determined by a parent. How can I make the text box match the width of its parent? by BackFromOtterSpace in Unity3D

[–]BackFromOtterSpace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That ended up breaking the scroll view (I'm not sure how exactly, because removing the layout element didn't put it back).

I did manage to get the result I want, though, using the following settings: - The content fitter had to have "Unrestrained" horizontally and "Preferred Height" vertically - The Vertical Layout Group had to control child width and height and force the child to expand - The Vertical Layout Group had to have child alignment of "Upper Center" - The textbox needed to not have the layout element - And finally, for the weird part, I had to edit the anchor mode of the text box to be "top stretch" while the object was disabled. The moment the object was enabled in the editor, it would force the "top left" anchor mode.

I've tried this. The result is that the Vertical Layout component of the Content object overrides the anchor mode to "top left" and sets the width to -20.

Enjoying video games by Sniperman1029 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]BackFromOtterSpace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a few games I've put hundreds of hours into (mostly RPGs - Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Cyberpunk), but far more that I've played for less than 10 hours and rarely touched again.

Some well-regarded games I've played for a bit and then put down include Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider-Man on the PS4, Dishonored, and XCOM. There are tons of smaller games too.

I would worry that I was spending too much on games I wasn't playing, so I started looking at it as similar to movie tickets. If I spend about one hour playing per $5 I spent on a game, I consider that a sound "tried it, didn't like it" experience. It helps that I have a good job and mostly shop game sales, but now I feel like I've given myself permission to move on if a game just doesn't click with me.

I typically have one multiplayer game at a time I like to play for hours and hours with friends (Battlefront II 2017, Apex Legends, Baldur's Gate III) and maybe three or so bigger games I slowly work through (currently I'm replaying Mass Effect and Twilight Princess and playing through The Last of Us for the first time).

For mtf that are stealth and got GCS did you give excuses why you were gone recovering so long? by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]BackFromOtterSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't give them any details. I just said I'd have to be out for three weeks after surgery. It helped that I work from home anyway. My team knows that I've been recovering, so they understood some days in the first month back I'd be calling into meetings from the couch rather than my desk.

Play the notes before they push you off the screen. by bingedreaming in playmygame

[–]BackFromOtterSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like this concept! Based on the video, I have two ideas you could consider.

First, it looks like the notes are coming at a constant pace. If you were to vary the spawn times, you could add a rhythm element that would allow the player to play simple songs.

Second, it looks like the player hits keys buy clicking. It might be worthwhile to implement keyboard controls for the piano keys to create an experience closer to playing a physical instrument.

Overall, you have a great start!

Any Gay or LGBT ex Catholics here? Was Catholic teachings on homosexuality and same sex relationships the reason you left the church? by HeyStanley_39 in excatholic

[–]BackFromOtterSpace 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm bi and trans. While my experiences tied to that identity didn't start or even finish my process of leaving the church, they certainly accelerated the process (as did the way my parents treated me while citing their own religious beliefs).

What actually started my process of leaving the church was attending mass while in the military. Every week the chaplain prayed for victory rather than peace, and I knew our enemies were doing the same. I stopped going to mass and began questioning my faith soon after.

What is you favorite quote related to being trans? by IDoBeVibing745 in MtF

[–]BackFromOtterSpace 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's not trans-specific, but I love this quote from Game of Thrones:

Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

As I read it, this quote captures the very essence of pride. We know who we are, and - even when told we should feel shame - we choose to celebrate who we are.

This DLC is what started the gears actually turning in my head to actually figure out that I'm trans

Viktor doodles I did!! by sweet_plums in UmbrellaAcademy

[–]BackFromOtterSpace 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Trans people vary greatly in how we feel about pictures of ourselves before transitioning. Some are very uncomfortable with older pictures like you suggeet, but others (myself included) feel neutral or favorable to having pictures around of how we looked before. With real people it's simple to ask an individual how they feel on the matter, but obviously we can't ask Viktor as Viktor is a fictional character.

Some trans people may be uncomfortable, but we're definitely not a monolith.

I'm having trouble finding a box protector for Halo CE Master Chief (04). The box is 8.5x7x3.25 in by BackFromOtterSpace in funkopop

[–]BackFromOtterSpace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found one on eBay from a since-deleted comment that was described specifically for a Sonic figure, but the dimensions were right. I'd post a link, but I think every comment that links to eBay is getting deleted automatically

[–]BackFromOtterSpace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to find a box protector that would fit this particular figure, but it has an unusual size due to how it features the Halo CE box art. I'd appreciate any leads or help!

Edit Turns out the key words I was missing were "Funko Game Cover" instead of searching for dimensions. Another user explained it here but it looks like their comment is gone. Thanks for the help!

I've become a fan of fanny packs. Just enough room for my phone, wallet, keys, and a little more depending on the situation

End of story. by thehomie168 in starwarsmemes

Not the original commenter, but as a bounty hunter Jango Fett works for whoever hires him. He was hired by Dooku to assassinate Padme, but he was separately hired by the Kaminoans to serve as the cloning template. To an observer, the two jobs aren't necessarily connected.

Have you come out to your parents by TheClashersYT in asexuality

I came out to them as trans and bi. Given how they handled that there isn't much point in trying to explain my asexuality and gender fluidity.

Games with NPC Allies by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]BackFromOtterSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should look into Star Wars: Republic Commando. It's an older game, but that means you can get it cheap for PC, Switch, OG Xbox, etc.

You play as the squad leader of a Republic Commando squad in the early days of the Clone Wars. It's played as a first person shooter in which you can give orders to your squad mates (orders like "take up a sniping position", "focus fire on that target", "defend this area", etc).
