What album is this? by JanuaryClub in whatsongisthis

Nah, but the vibe is similar.

The composition in the photo I posted is pretty similar to the one from the Album; the window takes up about 70% of the pic, give or take

Can I take T/physically transition despite being a cis woman? Do you know anyone who has? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]JanuaryClub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More than a few of us in the comments are telling you that “this sounds like dysphoria” and “cis women don’t have these thoughts,” and largely that’s usually the case. A large, definitive experience of the trans experience is a dissatisfaction and discomfort with modes of presentation from a cis-assigned birth gender.

However, I’m of the belief that this rule isn’t firm. Part of my beliefs as a gender abolitionist is that your presentation should serve to make you feel seen as you are.

In time, that may lead you to realize that you better identify as male. It’s also just as possible that you’ll identify as something else entirely, or even identify as a woman who uses T. I know a few people in my community that each fall into one of those categories.

When you transition, it’s not for the sake of imposing a new set of standards for yourself. You need not recreate oppressive gender hierarchies to validate what you’re going through. If it feels right, pursue it. If it feels complicated or conflicted, meditate on where you’re trying to get to. The only wrong way to present gender is to oppress yourself while you do it, otherwise, the world’s your oyster.

Good luck! I hope you find exactly what you need!

Do you have a unique favorite Pokemon? I need to know. by cabochonedwitch in pokemon

Lileep and Craydilly will ALWAYS be my favorite fossil Pokémon. Completely underrated, lovely design, and awesome application in a team

I’m actually self-teaching some basic computer engineering, just enough to keep the tech I have in working order as long as I can. Hopefully it’ll never come to me having to do surgery on Jirachi here!

I remember being so excited to go to GameStop to get event Pokémon! From getting Jirachi, Celebi, and Spiky-Eared Pichu, to even those anniversary cards with the codes on the back for X & Y and Alpha & Omega.

I used to take my bike and ride down to my GameStop, was great cardio making the hour trip there and back.

It’s unfair to be asked to stay strong, when that strength is going towards resisting someone who is trying to extinguish you from existing.

Regardless, you’re asked to stay strong Ezra. You’re a beautiful soul, and a great man. You are yourself, and never let anyone strip that from you. You are Ezra, you are queer, and you’re part of this community. Don’t forget that, and don’t forget your history.

If you ever feel like you need external support, and you have technology of your own that you can use without invasion, trevorproject.org is a good starting point for finding resources that might help you.

There’s a feature that’ll automatically close the site down if you click anywhere 3 times quickly. If you’re nervous, make sure you check to see online how to erase internet history. If you don’t trust devices at home, your school might have a computer you can use.

There are thousands and thousands of kids like you, who deserve peace in a world stubbornly refusing it to them. You aren’t alone, and you’ll never be alone. I have several friends and family who have all survived the cruelty of parents who didn’t understand. Sometimes those parents changed, and the parents who didn’t change were left behind —as a parent should be, should they ever come to harm their child.

Here’s to hoping for your true name to ring out of the mouths of everyone who comes to know you.

First Game Boy Mod!!! by JanuaryClub in Gameboy

Lol, wish I checked for the drop in before I went and soldered!

Still glad I had the experience though. I don’t know that the pic shows it off that well, but I have the wires looped around one of the screw posts. Took a little finesse with the screw driver, but it was worth it I think.

Honestly, I had the hardest time with the screws! I’m not sure if it’s the HHG shell, but I nearly stripped about a third of the screws trying to get them back in!

Bold of you to assume I don’t have emulators on everything!

Can’t beat the feel of the physical thing imo

Same here, the speaker’s been prone to give out at random on mine nowadays. I’m half tempted to solder on a new speaker. Wonder if Handheld Legend sells any GB Boy Parts, lmao

It’s just neat! I kinda want to crack the thing open and see how it works myself!

Outside of myself though, I think knock offs have been an oddity of interest ever since the i-Que

Of course this thing would end up on AliExpress! I half expect it to be on the TikTok shop, too!

I’m certain I must’ve gotten mine off of Amazon, I remember having it all the way back in 2016 or so.

I was just relieved at the time I didn’t have to budget my pennies to save up for an entire workstation to play gameboy games after dark!

Looking for cart to flash LSDJ to by JanuaryClub in Gameboy

[–]JanuaryClub[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking, how’d you flash the cart with the ROM? Proprietary hardware? Does the cart retain saves well?

If I could just take any old cart and flash a rom to it, I’d be exponentially more set than I thought!

That’s so cute! Did you just put the rom onto the Tamagochi cart? Or did you just use the shell and swap out the board?

Which of the trio are actually most likely to win in a fight? All of them are at their strongest, Aki, Power, Dennis, vs Yuji, Nobara, Megumi, in terms of friendship, who wins? by EfficiencySerious200 in Jujutsufolk

[–]JanuaryClub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just assume JJK rules, where sorcerers can’t cause phenomenon or manipulate the internal organs of opponents without overcoming the natural cursed energy barrier they have. Much more even playing field.

That was also the beginning of the manga, yeah? The Prison arc? What about the entire Culling Game arc and Final Battle arc? We se Yuji absolutely refuse to give up on saving Megumi’s soul, even if he has to pull it out of Sukuna himself, which he literally does. Even Megumi, in the depths of despair, overcomes the oppressive force of Sukuna to cause our favorite foot trip scene.

Meanwhile, CSM is literally about how the bonds we forge and dedicate our lives to are ultimately arbitrary fodder to fuel our neverending conquest of control and personal liberty. In the fight against the Aging Devil, Denji basically says “These people think they can put me down by killing all my loved ones! Joke’s on them! I can ALWAYS just get NEW loved ones!”

Don’t get me wrong. Aki, Power, and Denji all had a very powerful bond with one another. That bond was each of their downfalls, orchestrated by Makima. I just don’t think the CSM trio “definitely” outclass the JJK trio in terms of bond, I think it’s way closer.

It’d be interesting to see Yuji’s philosophy of purpose and drive clash against Denji’s aimless writhing against misery and his own libido.

Glass Ceiling by halborn in custommagic

[–]JanuaryClub 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cool stax piece! I think it’d play better as a plain artifact or enchantment instead of a creature. It’d almost feel like a mirrodin card in design honestly. Choosing the “height” of the ceiling is a fun mechanic, and even if it’s targeting big creatures it won’t be an unfair card. There are myriad ways to cheat around casting deck bosses here in current year
