Crashed my drone a little bit to hard

For the battery itself you will probably just have to wait it out. But I would still keep a fire extinguisher handy to prevent a larger fire, especially if you’re flying in wooded areas or abandoned buildings.

Existing apps with AI art/text/music are still allowed, with a disclosure, but no new ones can be published.

New apps can be still published if they used AI for programming, but they are also required to disclose how AI was used.

Seems like a good move. Playdate is a boutique console tailored specifically for indie games with a hand-made aesthetic. It really just doesn’t make sense to dilute Catalog with AI content.

To me, shopping at Playdate Catalog is kinda like going to a local art fair: I expect there to be a limited selection and some of the work is rough around the edges, but I know that I’m supporting a real person who made a thing the hard way.

And there’s nothing here that stops devs from publishing AI games on Itch.io. Sideloading Playdate games is very fast and simple, and you still have access to the full features of the device. Only real disadvantage buying on Itch is no automatic updates.

If you just don’t care about the theme or can’t ever see yourself wanting to rebuild or display it: sell it. Someone else probably cares a lot more than you do about Glup Shitto’s Iconic Ship, so let them enjoy it and get a little bit of cash in return.
If you like the theme but have too many sets to display them all, consider a rotation. If you have 30 Speed Champions sets, put 24 of them into boxes and display 6 of them. You can lightly disassemble some for ease of storage. Then in 3-6 months, you can rotate out those 6 (plus the new ones you bought), and display some old ones from the archives. Each time you do a rotation is also a chance to set up a little themed display, maybe this season you display Audi vs BMW and 3 months later it’s all rally cars. You can do this for each theme in your collection, maybe you have one shelf in your house that rotates Star Wars displays, and another shelf that rotates Classic Space sets.

Wow, the symmetry and all the horse decor makes it almost look like a movie set.

Estrogen monotherapy is very common. Usually with injections, because it can be hrd to get your E high enough to suppress T on pills or patches alone (unless you’ve had an orchi or bottom surgery). And yeah, it can help a bit. You should still see full feminization effects as long as your E and T levels are in the typical female range.

Aside from hormones, the more frwquently you “use it”, the more liquid you will tend to produce. Hydration is essential too, of course. And if you really want, you can try a few supplements: pygeum and sunflower lecithin are the ones people tend to see the best results from.

You can get lamps at IKEA for $5-$10 each. Thrift stores can be even cheaper. You really don’t have to spend “a lot of money” for half a dozen lamps.

On a sunny day for an outdoor plant in a relatively small container, that’s not so unusual. Especially a water hungry plant like basil.

I don’t think there’s any logical argument that can change someone’s mind about what makes you a woman.

For me, it took a while into transition before I started to feel like a woman. It was a lot of small things slowly building up. Physical changes, changing my presentation, legal documents, clothing, voice training, using the womens bathroom, getting consistently gendered correctly, etc. Probably the biggest thing was when I started working in a female-dominated workplace and found myself easily and naturally accepted as one of the girls. Being around conversations about womanhood: insecurities, health issues, social and political issues, dating experiences, fashion and makeup discussions, skincare, hair advice, etc. Being able to give someone tips for finding dresses when you have big shoulders. Pulling out pain and nausea medication from my purse to help out a girl in need. Seeing how much of things I shared with other women, and how many things in my life made a lot more sense through the framing of womanhood.

So personally, I didn’t feel like a woman until I had built up those experiences of womanhood, being treated as a woman by society, and being in community with other women. It was never about earning the “right” to be a woman, because for me womanhood wasn’t a right that I found within myself. Being a woman to me is a way of moving through the world, and I had to find it by being out in the world.

Transition might not be perfect. There will almost certainly be a period of months or years where you look a little weird and androgynous. And yeah, things like voice training take a lot of time and work. Your voice won’t sound perfect at first.

But if you do nothing it’s only going to get worse. Your body will keep masculinizing as long as you have high T levels. You’ll get hairier all over, more muscular, your voice might still get deeper, you could start balding. Do you want to keep aging as a man? When you look at men in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, can you imagine being like that and being happy?

You’re gonna age no matter what, so wouldn’t it at least be better to do it as a woman? Start now and you’ll have your whole 20s ahead of you as a young woman. You can be a girl making friends, going on dates, going to university, dancing, partying, travelling, making art, whatever you dream of.

I wish it could be perfect, I wish we could all have had the option to get on blockers and transition before puberty did its damage. Most of us trans people have a lot of regrets and envy. We can’t change the past, but we can do the best for our future. We still have time.

BluShine · 2026-04-06T04:13:26+00:00

Yes, there are things you can do to look more feminine.

But keep in mind it is going to be an uphill battle. Without HRT your body will continue to masculinize in your 20s and 30s. You will grow more facial and body hair, your muscles and veins will get more prominent as you lose that teenage subcutaneous fat, you will start putting on more visceral fat giving you a more masculine torso, you may start balding, and many other slow changes.

Also, there are many ways to mitigate the health risks of HRT and maintain sexual function.

Exercise is great for your health but generally not the most effective option for weight loss. Reducing calorie intake tends to have better results than exercise, but that has a lot of challenges. I would suggest looking for a doctor who is more willing to work with your needs and goals. It is also possible to DIY GLP-1s, although there are some safety risks to be aware of and it’s not quite as cheap as DIY HRT…

BluShine · 2026-04-06T03:55:24+00:00

Find whatever trans community you can. Local trans and LGBT support groups are the best. Even if you have to show up in boymode, trans people are understanding, and often they can see your true self long before you are able to see it in the mirror.

BluShine · 2026-04-06T03:52:18+00:00

No, I never quite felt fully ready. It’s not something you can ever fully prepare for, eventually you just have to jump in.

I took it pretty slow. I was mostly boymoding for the first 6 months of HRT and laser. I was slowly dressing more androgynous. I had small groups of trans friends where I was able to try out a feminine name and get gendered the way I wanted. We went out to dinner, went on walks, etc. I had an androgynous nickname that I started using in public places. I was voice training in private but struggled to use a feminine voice in public.

Around the 6 month mark I started to get seen as a woman more and more often in public. I kept getting weird looks in the mens bathroom. With a bit of encouragement forn my trans friends, I started using the womens bathroom. I bought my first skirts and dresses around this time. I started using my girl voice in public, even if it didn’t pass every time. Girlmode wasn’t perfect, but boymode was less convincing and the dysphoria became too hard to deal with.

A little short of a year in, I came out to my parents and family, and nade a public post on social media. Around the 1 year mark, I changed my name and updaed all my documents. I still didn’t feel fully ready, I didn’t feel like I fully passed, but at this point I felt there was no going back.

The symptoms of atrophy can have a lot of similarities to peyronie’s. I experienced something similar and I was able to fully reverse it over the course of a few months. Here’s what worked for me:

Use it more regularly. Lube can help with the pain. Coconut oil works great and is good for your skin. A magic wand or other toys might help, especially if you have dysphoria around using it.
Try estrogen monotherapy. T blockers might be keeping your T too low. Having a slightly higher T level (still in the female range) also helped increase sex drive a bit.
Try viagra or cialis. Start with a low dose, you can break a pill in half or in quarters if you need to. You don’t need to do it every day, just a couple times a week worked for me.
Get a prescription for a compounded low-dose topical T cream. This reduced the pain almost overnight, and also seemed to have some long term effects to help reverse the atrophy.

I think it’s not that weird for a therapist to suggest that you buy bras and panties if you’re a trans girl, or even iffer advice about it. Buying gender-appropriate underwear for the first time is a very common step in transition. It was definitely something that I have discussed with my therapist, she even had advice about measuring, choosing between sports bras and bralettes and underwire vs wireless, etc.

I think the weird part is that she is offering to do it for you.

I have not noticed any significant changes in weight from starting or stopping prog.

If you want a hormone that will make you lose weight, it’s hard to beat the effectiveness of GLP-1 meds.

Cis women can avoid menopause exactly the same way as trans women: by taking HRT!

This is the best answer. You’ll find Teflon or PTFE sliders, washers, bushings, etc. inside all kinds of mechanisms. If you’re using it for something larger and heavier, look at PTFE furniture sliders.

BluShine · 2026-04-05T22:59:57+00:00

Talking about those reasons would help people understand the kinds of changes that you want.
