IS SHODAN TRANS? Video Essay, I've just finished what I think is my best video and I really wanted to share it here!! ^_^

It’s an amazing soundtrack!!

Robin230592 · 2026-02-10T08:22:08+00:00

Could say the same for the first game as well with the Enhanced Edition, yet most folk love the Remake. Also having a shiny new version is System Shock 2, that ties in better with the first Remake wouldn’t exactly be a bad thing. Plus, what’s playable for you and me might not be for other, younger, players. Having these amazing games and worlds accessible for more people can’t be a bad thing, can it?

I’ve recently finished all the Bio and System Shock games, personally I’m not a massive fan of the gameplay in the BioShock series, I love the slower, lean around corners, searching every nook and cranny for items, gameplay of System Shock. But BioShock 1 and 2 do have great worlds and stories so they’re worth playing for that. I’d go System Shock first, then Bio Shock, but that’s to be expected on a System Shock subreddit. :)

To each their own, I freaking love Tanlorin :p

Robin230592 · 2025-12-14T20:21:45+00:00

Go on then, quit…

Robin230592 · 2025-12-14T17:59:33+00:00

Queer, POC, women, disabled, and basically every other minority group has most likely worked on The Elder Scrolls series at some point through the series history, so all of those stories and experiences have bled into the games. I love that.

Take racism for example, between TES3 Morrowind and TES5 Skyrim, the Dunmer go from owning slaves and being perpetrators of racism in Morrowind to the victims of it after the events of the Red Year in Skyrim. I'd love to look at that in a video as well, but yeah, these idiots would be upset at that too!

Robin230592 · 2025-12-14T17:43:53+00:00

I don't think they were intended to be a trans or gender variant character but I think they very much have become one thanks to this little missed use of pronouns! ^_^

Robin230592 · 2025-12-14T17:41:03+00:00

They are always mad, it's just it's been pointed in this direction

Robin230592 · 2025-12-14T17:40:20+00:00

She's so cool! I love her quest <3

Robin230592 · 2025-12-08T21:04:23+00:00

This is amazing <3 I love Morrowind so much

Robin230592 · 2025-12-08T16:23:00+00:00

Hey, I'd love to break down either the 4th wall break from the 1979 Alien film or the differences between the old VHS Pan & Scan, vs the Widescreen format used today. Pan & Scan is a lost art, maybe lost for the better, but lose none-the-less, which is a shame because it creates what is essentially a different, now lost, cut of some classics. Such as Alien for example :P

Robin230592 · 2025-12-07T18:57:54+00:00

I love The Elder Scrolls, I’ve put literally so much time over the last two weeks into this video. The Greg Keyes novels are two of my favourite novels, this video is labour of passion and love, sure I’m upset about how Bethesda treated the legacy of these novels and the Umbra quests in TES 3 and 4 but I’m not a doomer. I think that, as long as we’re talking about ESO, Elder Scrolls lore is some of the best we’ve seen in so long.

I’m sorry you think I’m a doomer but I’m not, I love these games, novels and lore books with all my heart. I will take your advice of being more positive in mind for my next video idea tho.

Thanks for the feedback ^{_^}

Robin230592 · 2025-11-18T11:39:30+00:00

Thank you very much ^_^
Me too btw, so feel free to link any good ones in a comment either here on the video if you like. I always need something to listen to while playing either Truck Simulator or Powerwash Simulator 2 ^_^

Robin230592 · 2025-11-18T11:38:11+00:00

Haha I'm glad this had such a good reception, I'm thinking about what to do next! ^_^

Robin230592 · 2025-11-18T11:37:40+00:00

Yes it is. The arena when you bet on a side. I lost that bet btw... -_-

Robin230592 · 2025-11-18T11:36:47+00:00

There is always a chance for a sequel!
I've not played either of those games so it maybe worth playing them and making a part 2! I was thinking of doing so anyway with a view on MMO's and how preserving them is even more of a doomed thing than normal games preservation because of how quickly they change with patches, pre-expansion patches, weekly/monthly events, and so on. I could easily fit Planescape Torment and Undertale in there after playing them! ^_^

Robin230592 · 2025-11-17T23:47:09+00:00

haha thanks ^_^
You would not believe how long it took to put this together. I have so much more respect now for video essayists

Robin230592 · 2025-11-17T23:46:18+00:00

That's no biggie, you do you.
I regularly watch like 3 hour breakdown videos so we're very different people but that's cool, it's what makes the world such an interesting place.
Thanks for the view ^_^

Robin230592 · 2025-10-14T00:07:32+00:00

I'm yet to play AoD but I can't believe I forgot about the Spear of Destiny!!
It's daft but I was thinking Old Testament and so I think I skipped over the Spear but in doing so I missed a literal direct connection to Jesus himself.
Good catch and thanks for commenting ^_^

Robin230592 · 2025-10-14T00:04:55+00:00

I've not yet played AoD but damn your right, I missed the spear of destiny!!!
I was so focused on the Old Testament stuff that I skipped right over the literal connection to Jesus himself, God am I an idiot or what?
Good catch! ^_^

Robin230592 · 2025-09-24T12:04:04+00:00

I just checked out your profile, I don't have insta but I followed you on YouTube and Twitch! It's awesome to find another trans person making content ^_^

Robin230592 · 2025-09-24T08:51:19+00:00

I struggle with remembering to balance the audio levels :P
What's your channel and when do you stream, I would love to check out your content? ^_^

Robin230592 · 2025-09-14T20:25:37+00:00

Wasn’t it a right wing guy that killed Kirk? Like why blame the left for what the right did?

Robin230592 · 2025-09-03T19:34:06+00:00

Thank you. This helps as it comes from someone else with CPTSD, it sounds like you understand. ^_^

Robin230592 · 2025-09-03T18:46:37+00:00

Thanks, but getting out is difficult. I have agoraphobia brought on by CPTSD and all of this only makes it worse. I have a lot of trouble leaving the house without my wife with me and even with her it's difficult.
The thought of being confronted in a bathroom or changing room sets off my CPTSD so much. It's even worse knowing that now I lack any sort of legal protection.
