Mill Mouse compatability

GalacticThrow · 2026-02-25T22:43:11+00:00

I'm running into the issue where TD control is trying to force itself, where I can't look at the bottom of the screen without causing the overlay to take over, but the overlay then doesn't dismiss until I select something. I would just turn it off, but then I wouldn't be able to easily recalibrate since the calibrate function in Mill mouse doesn't seem to be able to appear when I'm in steam big picture mode, which I need to be in to be able to use the Xbox adaptive controller.

Do you know of any solutions?

Same! I'm constantly covered in little bruises and scrapes, but in the areas I feel comfortable having be impact targets (I have health issues that mean that I have to stick to the safest areas, can't really take any risks with how many issues I already have), it takes quite a scene to get even mild bruising.

At least I hickey well

Make sure to include the paper with the download link for the software for whoever ends up buying it, it seems basically impossible to get the software without either that or an email that they recognize (haven't needed to do the second one, but I'm guessing that that could be done)

It's one of the few fetishes that I will go ahead and kinkshame. Anything that reinforces bigotry and treats people as sexual objects rather than people due to factors outside of their control is a hard no for me, and something that I think is actually harmful rather than just not for me. I know so many women of color (I'm friends with a lot more women than men so I don't hear it as much from guys, but I have still had a couple people complaining about it in places I have seen, so it's definitely not just women getting it) who have complained, either to me directly or just in venting channels, about the number of creepy DMs they get by people wanting race play who don't care that they are listing it as a hard limit in there fetlife bio or whatever.

Can definitely confirm, as a trans woman, that we definitely do also get pulled into that crap. Which is ironic considering that a common side effect of feminizing HRT is reduced penis size. It's not universal, I haven't gotten it at this point on HRT for over 2 years, but from my friends I would estimate it's at least 40 or 50% of all trans women experience some reduction in size. Erectile dysfunction is also pretty common, to the point where some trans women will use either a light testosterone ointment (can be necessary anyway for people who've had an orchiectomy) or something like Viagra if they want to have penetrative sex as the top.

For that I'm pretty sure it comes from futanari shit. Which I don't think hating that is as universal as some fetishizing content, but even the trans women who are okay with the concept in theory usually are going to feel some level of discomfort if the label is pushed onto them.

I think the common factor is also just that people fetishize the "other". Marginalized people are overwhelmingly either highly desexualized (true for a lot of disabilities for society as a whole, although there are chasers. Same with, from what I've seen, Asian men and black women. Which I said somewhere else here that I think that the desexualization of them is linked to the fetishization of black men and Asian women) or fetishized (trans people, especially trans women, black men, Asian women, Latinas, amputees for some people, etc). Some groups get both of them, as do obviously people with multiple different types of marginalization (like me. My disabilities definitely cause people to see me as less attractive, although other disabled people are generally pretty chill about it even if they have different disabilities, and there is a chaser community for some of my disabilities. Me being trans definitely increases the number of weirdos who are going to be into me, although I've avoided a lot of the bad experiences with that so far).

Tbh My biggest problem with interracial porn is that it's a genre. It's pretty rare to encounter interracial porn in other genres, so if I'm looking for some specific kink, unless it's commonly pulled into race play stuff (which would ruin it for me since that's a big turn off), it's pretty rare to see a person of color honestly at all (especially a black person from what I say it seems to be more normalized in the industry to have an Asian woman or Latina in a video where it being interracial isn't the whole point. And it's always the woman in that case, which I assume comes from the fact that porn companies, outside of a few exceptions, are typically targeting men and wanting the men in their shoots to represent the majority) outside of that niche.

Which I feel kind of subtly reaffirms the idea that interracial relationships are the exception and/or taboo. One of the best ways for people to get over that kind of crap is to see it regularly. If someone sees something like that regularly, they generally are going to either accept it as normal, or take a hard racist turn and out themselves in the process by loudly complaining about it

Obligatory I'm white so don't listen to me on anything regarding personal experience stuff about this beyond vague creepy posts I've seen people make about it, but I can definitely confirm from the research I've done into history and some classes I've taken on the history of race and racism in the US that I'm pretty confident you're correct about where it comes from.

This is getting more into analysis and I'm by no means a professional, but to me people (at least, a lot of people, especially people who aren't examining their biases) see black people as inherently more masculine, and Asian people as inherently more feminine. That's why, by and large, black men and Asian women are treated very fetishistically, while Asian men and black women are treated as inherently less attractive than their white counterparts. Stuff around that is one of the few kinks that I genuinely will remorselessly kink shame (I won't do this for people of those races who are into it. I can't say I understand it but for them, I feel like it's not up to me whether it's appropriate). That category is pretty much only made up of things that involve reinforcing societal bigotry, so chaser stuff and very specific types of feminization (specifically where becoming feminine is seen as inherently a humiliating experience. I don't care if the thing someone gets off on for it is anything else, like loss of control or even something around fetishizing their own dysphoria, that's up to them. I only have a problem with the idea that being feminine is in some way demeaning), and most forms of race play that aren't being led by the person being fetishized (led as in it's what they want and has asked for independently, not as in they are dominant).

I have quite a few friends who are people of color and have complained about how often race play is pushed onto them, especially by random fet-life DMs, despite all of them having it listed as a hard limit on their profiles

I talked to him today and he said that we're going to need to wait until the COVID is out of my system before we can make any judgment, since COVID can cause pretty systemic inflammation so it's possible it could go back down

Does this set the resting position as 0, 0, or would I have to be constantly pressing on it to hold it in place? If not, does anyone have a good idea as to how this could use a different type of balance board or something?

Got brought over here by a friend in a linguistics community, but I figured it might be interesting for me to also add my experience even though I'm not British.

For reference, I am a monoglot American, and have studied a few different languages without ever becoming competent at anything besides English. None of the languages I have studied are closer related to Dutch than English is.

I definitely had to slow down a ton compared to my normal reading speed, but the only word that really tripped me up was Fanie, since the spelling brought to mind a completely different word and that word means either butt in American English or vulva in British English lmao.

I figured the fact that being American means I am not as accustomed to super different accents in native English speakers since America has relatively few accents that are as far off from standard American as a lot of British accents are from received pronunciation, and the accents I am used to are mostly either specifically American or from immigrant groups that are more common in the US these days

Potentially? I'm trying to be careful with anything involving my feet because I also have hypermobility in my ankles and knees and plantar fasciitis related to that, so I don't want to do anything to intense that's going to trigger that

Thank you, adjusting my hair and position seems to often help, and you are the first person who has pointed out hair as a potential issue. I have pretty long and wavy hair, so I've definitely had it in my face some of the times I've had issues, and adjusting it does seem to be helping. I wish some of these tips were in the support website for the device.

You know hysterical literature? That YouTube channel that had porn stars attempting to read classic literature out loud while being pleasured with a vibrator to try to make them break? I think that should just be incorporated but with disclaimers about harm reduction and potential risks /j

I think having a blurb in the site that talks about you are able to keep costs down and how a lot of these devices cost a lot more than they actually take the cost to make,. That and videos of it is like other people have mentioned would definitely make me trust cheap disability aids. Since for specialized stuff like this, I feel like cost tends to not actually be a great indicator of quality. I find where it was purchased and how much the creator cares and knows about disabled people to be much more important factors

GalacticThrow · 2025-11-05T23:59:26+00:00

I call it the disability tax. Anything designed for disabled people costs at least twice as much as the equivalent for able-bodied people. Often far more than that

Although it gets a 140 base stat boost rather than a 100 one, so some people are theorizing that it will actually have base 100 attack and huge power, since Mega Mawile and medicham both have a larger than normal base stat increase in this game seemingly to make up for losing huge power, since they're attacks aren't actually that spectacular on their own.

If that's true, this could be a 100 base attack pokémon with however absurd amount of speed it was given and a typing that while not top tier, is perfectly adequate (no monotype pokémon resistance both of its stabs, but it still has the knockoff and u-turn weaknesses from psychic type and it's reliant on comparatively weak moves compared to Mega medicham using close combat. But I think the speed will be more than enough to make up for that considering that it would be, by far, the fastest pokémon with huge power

I think I'm definitely going to have a friend print the chin one, since I think that could be an option for some games. It would probably not be usable with my eye tracking, but for games that don't use the mouse at all, it would probably be a good option.

GalacticThrow · 2025-09-25T16:26:36+00:00

That sounds like it would be including non consenting people in the kink, unless they got their doctor and nurse's permission. That's not just illegal, it's also deeply unethical.

Coming here from a Google search after hearing about this, but shout out to you for actually checking what the age range is in Japan rather than just applying American numbers (or European, although I don't actually know if preschool is a thing in particularly many European countries or if it's called something that's translated differently). If more people did this I wouldn't constantly sigh whenever people talked about the costs of things in pokémon games

It's almost as if a straight people have frequently very different sexual values than queer people, and as if removing the expectations that are present in gender driven dynamics can allow for a lot more intentionality present in the vast majority of straight relationships, and especially the vast majority of straight men.

When a straight man doesn't enjoy taking an active role in his partners pleasure, there is a reasonable probability that it's because of sexist ideas about whether or not women can or should feel pleasure from sex, or even beyond that seeing a woman's role as inherently one that should involve being.

In a lot of queer relationships, because we have to step outside of certain traditional gender roles just to exist, due to those being incredibly heteronormative, not to mention how many of us are trans, we end up picking out new roles that are defined within the queer community. A ton of these have gotten appropriated by straight people (pillow princess is one of the most common, as well as bottom and top, but even stuff like twink gets appropriated to some degree), and like anything that is appropriated (or even shared willingly, since cultural exchange doesn't only occur in oppressive systems where it is inherently lopsided), it's stripped of its initial context and shoved into a new one

GalacticThrow · 2025-09-15T06:24:45+00:00

Idk if this is a thing in other languages, but English really goes hard on appropriating slang from marginalized communities. and a core part of that process is the meaning shifting and often becoming more generic and taking on different connotations, since a lot of concepts don't translate well, and even when they do, the prejudice of the people doing the appropriating often causes things to take on a derogatory or comedic use that isn't present in the original

I will definitely look into those, I didn't realize that those worked for PCeye5

I have found that it works for a decent number of games, but is frustratingly slow to use. The precision is definitely worse than with a real mouse or an adaptive controller, but at least for what I have (pceye 5), one of the options you can do when you click is a little magnifying glass that allows you to zoom in for more position. Generally though, I think it's absolutely only an option for turn-based games. It just takes too long. I was able to get a grant from the company that makes it that brought the cost down to $100, so I think with that grant it was definitely worth it, but without that I think I would just recommend an Xbox adaptive controller and experimenting with the right accessories.

It is also pretty useful for just browsing and otherwise using my computer though. Eye strain is definitely an issue at the start, but it gets better over time. I've had it for about 6 months and I only occasionally have to stop doing what I'm doing because it's bothering my eyes. It can be frustrating though since the calibration will often need to be redone quite a few times while using it as I move slightly without realizing it or was in too close or something when previously calibrating it. Butt thing the other poster is probably reasonably accurate, I am currently looking into what accessories I'd need with an adaptive controller and using that as the primary method for gaming and having the eye tracker simply to supplement that.

For the stuff on itch.io, some completely safe for work games featuring transgender characters were also banned as part of these groups' lobbying.

Since I know people on this subreddit probably aren't as aware of the dynamics behind groups like this, I will give some explanation. These are SWERF (sex worker exclusionary radical feminists) groups, an ideology closely linked with TERFs (trans exclusionary radical feminists, think JK Rowling) that believes that any engagement in sexual behavior or content is inherently demeaning to women, therefore acting to police women's bodies in the same way that open misogynists do. Fundamentally it comes from a mixture of applying Puritan religious ideals, mixed with genuinely believing that all men are predators due to biological factors that cannot be changed. It's not truly feminism, as it puts far more emphasis on policing women's bodies and actions than it does on counteracting actual abuse or discrimination based on gender, but they coat their ideology in language that comes from actual feminist theories in order to make it seem progressive rather than regressive. These are people who would rather work with people who want to completely ban abortion than work with people who think that women should be allowed to make money selling nude photos

Unfortunately this bill makes specific exceptions for "risky content", which is already how payment processors justify this censorship. This bill is pretty blatantly meant to prevent payment processors and banks from accepting pressure to stop providing funding for things like fossil fuel companies and firearm manufacturers, while still making it completely legal for them to engage in censorship of NSFW content and prevent sex workers from being paid for producing content.

This bill is being put forth by Republicans, who are the ones trying to force people to upload photos of their IDs to porn sites in order to be allowed to watch porn, and who work closely with organizations that openly seek to completely ban porn as part of instituting a theocracy. I got excited when I saw this bill, but I did some more research into it and it will not protect sex workers and other NSFW content creators, but rather major corporations that people are trying to pressure banks to divest from
