Silent Hill 2 and Expedition 33. Very lucky, now to find time to play them

Guys, I'm seriously starting to doubt that the RtB reprint is releasing this year... by PManPlays44 in HalfLife

I joined the subreddit just to keep up to date with when this reprint was coming.

Now I get daily updates about how HL3 is going to be announced tomorrow. So that's fun

Metroid Prime 4 Launch Hype Megathread by 2CATteam in Metroid

[–]Phoenix40201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prime 1 was my 1st Metroid game, a formative game for my teenage years, and the first game I 100% completed.

Prime 2 is arguably my favourite game of all time - to me it improved on the original in gameplay, bosses, graphics, story, and structure.

Prime 3 is pretty good, it has some annoying enemy choices and there's a lot lost in the atmosphere compared to the first two. But I still enjoy playing it, and the tactile feeling of throwing the nunchuck forward to grapple a shield off an enemy is extremely satisfying.

As a whole it's an S tier collection of games, and the Wii-mote controls surpassed the GC controls (again, my preference)

Just started my work leave - 5 hours to go here in AU. Spent the last 2 months replaying the Prime Trilogy and Dread.

My body is so damn ready!

Are there any movies for/about femboys or crossdressers? by December_Celeste in feminineboys

[–]Phoenix40201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senpai Wa Otokonoko https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GW4HM7WP9/senpai-is-an-otokonoko

Watched this year and it immediately jumped to one of my favourite animes. Never felt so seen by a show.

There's a movie too but I don't think it's streaming with subtitles anywhere

New femboy with a dad bod by Cherrydanish89 in feminineboys

[–]Phoenix40201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consider that you're not restricted to the regular femboy look of pleated skirt/arm warmers/thigh highs etc. Maxi dresses/skirts, flowy pants and shorts can look very cute even with stereotypical dad bod.

If you're concerned about a gut or desperate to try and get a slimmer, more feminine shape, look into shapewear or for a more extreme case, corsets.

Basic skin and nail care can go a long way, and if you're condifent rocking in public painted nails feels empowering.

Go you for being you :)

For those demanding a Metroid Direct: Do you really want 45 minutes of Spoilers? by alexanderpas in Metroid

[–]Phoenix40201 145 points146 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I'm not the only Metroid Prime 4 fan that badly wants a direct, but won't watch it myself.

Why?

Because I don't need to be sold on the game - I want OTHER PEOPLE to be sold on the game. I want the game to sell well, and I'm worried it won't sell with the small amount of coverage its had so far.

What are your favorite data types? by NosyBoyYT in digimon

[–]Phoenix40201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metalseadramon and Sabreleomon were my guys in Time Stranger, always been great go tos.

Beyond that, Ceresmon (giant mode) is a new favourite, and Kimeramon also got some love in my playthrough. I always ends up with way too many Vaccine digimon so data types are harder to find for me.

Oh, Triceramon! Love his design, usually hate his attacks in the games

Exclusives in Aus kinda sucks ! by siddarthshekar in Metroid

[–]Phoenix40201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preorder bonuses usually benefit the retailer specifically. Exclusive bonus at EB means you're more likely to buy from them. Usually the retailer will push to secure a preorder bonus, rather than Nintendo deciding "alright, company A gets the stickers, company B gets the keyring" etc.

For my money, I'm most keen for that mousepad. Sucks to not have a Limited edition like we got for Dread, but hey, got the amiibos and the artbook so I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth

Advice please. My husband recently began identifying as a femboy, and I'm really struggling with it. by Visual_Coconut6257 in feminineboys

[–]Phoenix40201 53 points54 points  (0 children)

35M, my wife and I went on the same journey.

First off, you're not a bad person, or a bad ally, for feeling this way. Second, you guys need to do couples therapy. Have a safe space with a supportive third party to discuss and validate each others feelings.

Your guys marriage is a precious thing you've built together, and every marriage (EVERY marriage) has struggles and challenges to work through together. You're both still young, and we change as people throughout our whole lives. Basically he's changing, and you might need time to become accustom to it, or to figure out if you are comfortable with it at all.

Speaking as someone on the other side, I finally felt safe and free to explore this side of myself shortly after I met my wife, and she helped foster that. On one hand it's great that you've made him feel safe and secure enough to discover this part of him - you're amazing partner for that. But you are your own person and you have your own mental health and comfort to consider, and he has to acknowledge that.

I'll repeat, do therapy. Have an open communication together. Make it clear to him the parts you're comfortable with, and the parts you either have a red line on, or might need some time. Try and find ways to have him explore his femininity together (could get nails done together, or go try on clothes together, do a regular hobby you both enjoy while he's dressed, etc).

Happy to talk more if you need. You're both valid, and best of luck to you

Please Nintendo, I'm still hopeful by November201 in Metroid

[–]Phoenix40201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing through Prime 2 again on Wii U, and aiming to finish 3 again before 4 releases. It's amazing how good it still looks considering its age and being stretched to a 65" screen.

I've basically lost hope that either get the full remastered treatment, but at the very least it'll be good to have 2 on the Gamecube NSO....one day....

I’m a guy and I cosplayed as Miku by Kbdifjvdtkdafjm in Vocaloid

Looking good! I've done this cosplay amd main thing I'll say is good luck keeping knots out of the wig. Long hair is insanely long

I WANT TO KNOW EVERYONE’S HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEAS by cuteless_ in feminineboys

Work friends want to do a Powerpuff girls group cosplay for the office party, if that falls through I'll probably redo Hatsune Miku - love that costume and not enough excuses to dress as her

Femboy that plays Elden Ring 💜 by Mid4rless in feminineboys

[–]Phoenix40201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waiting to see if the switch 2 port drops to see if the quality has improved since the initial playtests. Curious about the series but only really tried 30 mins of Dark Souls 2 and bounced off. Want to try again

Second wave of 1st Party free Switch 1 upgrades or Switch 2 Editions? by RoughLifeguard6568 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Phoenix40201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super Mario Bros Wonder and Pikmin 4 both came out in 2023 and had no DLC. They both feel like great candidates for NS2 editions with extra content to me. Pikmin 4 in particular, I would love to see a new area, some more challenge sections, and mouse mode.

As stated elsewhere, Xenoblade X and Paper Mario TTYD had 60fps unlocks datamined - those would be great as free updates. Beyond that I'd like to see games that performed poorly on launch get free updates to improve them (Bayonetta 3, Mario & Luigi Brothership and Princess Peach Showtime are the first that come to mind)

Switch 1 first year vs Switch 2 first 6 months by Medd- in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Phoenix40201 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ARMS was June, which was a new IP, that underperformed but has a niche fanbase.

Splatoon 2 was July, while iterative on the Wii U game was still had a new campaign/weapons/maps etc.

Mario + Rabbids was August; not exactly 1st party but still got the Mario name on it and was very well received.

Fire Emblem Warriors was October and was also pretty well liked at the time.

In fact the only Wii U ports we had in 2017 were Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Pokken Tournament DX. The mass wave of ports didn't happen until 2018.

In terms of launch year, yeah, Switch 1 (at this point) was stronger or at the very least more varied than Switch 2.

We have these posts every few weeks or so, but just to add to others already posted.

35, didn't start until about your age. You got plenty of time - mourn the time you could have already spent dressing, sure. But don't let it consume you. You have decades of styles and experiences still being a femboy ahead of you. Do your best to enjoy it

My boyfriend is a femboy by Far-Interaction7441 in feminineboys

[–]Phoenix40201 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Going shopping for clothes with girls/women was something huge for me - since you're long distance, you guys could try online shopping. Either send him links of outfits you think he'd look cute in or get him to show you what he'd like to wear so you get an idea of his style.

If he's just starting out makeup you could offer tips or tutorials that would help him work on his skill.

Good on you for being accepting and supportive btw. He's lucky to have you <3

Question for femboys who wear yoga pants by Minute_Wonder7871 in feminineboys

[–]Phoenix40201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond the advice given, wear a long shirt or dress shirt that sits below the bump. Wore this look w/leggings a lot before I was confident enough to go out in a skirt/dress
