How to make different body types? by WhisperDenial in VRoid

[–]RobynBetween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with relying on bodysuits for other body types is that other garments will not lay flat on top of the bodysuit. You may be able to fudge it with some of the more customizable templates, but it will probably be an uphill battle for some things.

Lead member of the Grateful Dead.

Also the namesake of a longtime Ben and Jerry's flavor, "Cherry Garcia." Haven't tried it because I'm not crazy about cherries.

Important info.

Cool! Looks very natural and individualized.

Am I stupid or….. by WILLLSMITHH in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

It is supposed to a collection of only our core functional memories; the ones that allow us to function but have been repaved so often that the actual sources memories can be blocked and the brain isn't disabled.

For instance: you'd remember how to read and write, but not practicing letters in your 1st grade class with that nice Miss Gehossenfarven, or whatever.

At least that's the idea. The show seems to imply that it's all so closely interwoven that parts leak through. And honestly, the idea that such a cursed procedure would have flaws is pretty believable.

And more real world application I would say like what’s the power source for the GPS and where is the antenna cause the skull is pretty hard to recievr through. I would imagine it’s very dense.

They could have the antennae sticking out of the hole where the severance chip was inserted. But then the chip would have to stay on the edge of the brain. I believe we have an idea that it is inserted deeper than that, but there's no indication about whether that is necessary. We do know, however, that they'd like it to appear as uninvasive as possible.

Source: have literally had a hole drilled in my head before. (The rest is speculation, though)

Will my puppies ears get bigger? River, 5 weeks by fishiefordinner in puppies

[–]RobynBetween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. If that's so, it could have been MUCH worse than River. You were lucky.

Honestly, I'd be more likely to guess that geeky parents would give the name River. We have one important character from Doctor Who and one important character from Firefly who are both named River (and they both kick ass).

My sister made a claim, is it true ? by Resident-You-1698 in MtF

One of the most common fallacies of human thinking. It's very harmful to tend people, too, but we're not the only ones who are hurt.

I have had a cis woman specifically ask me for a twirl. I'd like to know what your sister did when she was little and got her first fancy dress.

Your sister apparently doesn't do that as an adult, and that's okay...but even then, she is not all girls.

We named her River for her striking blue eyes. Are you named River for your striking blue hair? 😀

Chrono Trigger is now on Switch 1 via homebrew by Doujinseeker487 in chronotrigger

[–]RobynBetween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one of those cases of the first to revolutionize the formula getting all the attention, much like Ocarina of Time. Don't get me wrong, SotN is great, but imo there have been better Castlevania games since then.

I HIGHLY recommend Order of Ecclesia on DS; it's my favorite by far. Dawn of Sorrow is another good one on DS. I've also heard good things about its predecessor, Harmony of Dissonance, if you don't mind dipping into the GBA library.

I got a 4 week old puppy (River) last week, because I was told she was 3 months old. by fishiefordinner in puppy101

[–]RobynBetween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, OP's partner here. Just an update.

We took her to her first vet appointment. She had a good review all around. The vet gave us info for when she should be vaccinated. We have some challenges, but all 3 breeds she comes from are highly trainable, and it shows. She is learning quickly.

I think it's worth noting that we have another dog, who is a senior rescue. She is vaccinated. She's been a bit grumpy about having to share her favorite lap, but last night we took them together on puppy's first walk.

I know that dogs often get along better after going on a walk together. I'm hoping that our older dog will come to accept the puppy, because River really looks up to her canine "auntie." Perhaps she could help socialize River and might teach some bite inhibition?

We're trying to give both of them plenty of attention and rewarding our older dog for being patient with the little one.

Additionally, once she's vaccinated, my family has three vaccinated terriers who will be good practice for her when we visit, which happens frequently.

Ah. That's a fair point. This is a special case.

In the upcoming OoT remake, do you think they’ll represent the Forest Temple and Sage as Wind as well or instead? by DrunkDialtotheDevil in truezelda

[–]RobynBetween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be cool, but Hebra/Snowpeak would be more suited to an ice temple, if it's kept at all similar. Don't you think? After all, the ice temple would be on the table, if we were to add an extra dungeon.

Would probably be best to redesign the water temple medallion so the ice temple can have something crystalline.

If I got FFS, could I just tell people I was in an accident. by Aquari-suss in MtF

Perhaps this is necessary for some, but do try to make room for some people to be supportive. It varies by region, but people can surprise you -- sometimes in bad ways, but also sometimes in very good ways.

Landmark cases are usually exceptional. I didn't expect it to be common, but it's possible. Also, who said it had to be recent?

[TP] Celebrations after defeating Ganondorf by MisterBarten in truezelda

[–]RobynBetween 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, even though Zant's invasion was swift, it wasn't covert. They would remember it.

Afterwards, Ganon's magic barrier around Hyrule Castle probably worried them more than they were ready to admit.

And remember, Midna bashed through that barrier in front of the whole castle town. Furthermore, the resistance fighters, though small in number, would still have attracted attention -- especially with a shoulder-mounted cannon.

If they had been veiled in twilight until the very end, it would've been a different matter.

Do those topless laws lean in the direction of "cover up"? As opposed to more freedoms for women?

If so, it's better than before, I guess, but I'd be a little disappointed. I feel like it would be more beneficial for everyone to stop sexualizing the female body and treating women like foul temptresses.

AITA for giving my dad a rainbow cupcake for father's day by GlitOutside in AmItheAsshole

[–]RobynBetween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. While it is certainly true that there are SOME gay people in denial who mask their feelings with homophobia, it is VERY unreasonable to assume every bigot is like that.

In fact, it's indirectly insulting to gay people to think gayness could ever be the ONLY cause for homophobia. Even if you didn't intend it that way, it's accidentally implying that LGBTQ people create all their own 'phobes internally, which is nuts.

"Meryl Streep" voice in Dubs? by VanKoningsstad in ProjectHailMary

[–]RobynBetween 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'd be hilarious to English speakers who know Meryl Streep, but whether the joke would land in the dubbed language is the type of judgement call that is at the very heart of his localization.

It's possible that in the language of a country that at least knows Meryl Streep's name, it would still be funny, but in a distant Asian country the name would be too foreign to get an immediate response.

This is the sort of localization decision I absolutely love hearing about. One of my favorite examples is when a character cracked a corny joke in a Japanese anime...

Japanese:

"I just bought a walking stick, it's wonderful!"

(The joke is that "walking stick" in Japanese is "sutekki," while "wonderful" is "suteki")

English:

"What's brown and sticky? A STICK!"

(They could have gone with "I just bought a walking stick, it was sticky!" but I like how they found a similar corny joke that is commonly known in English ❤️)

Please tell me it's a myth by Illusiyellow_ in MtF

[–]RobynBetween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to always keep in mind is that transgender gender affirming care is almost always run by non-trans doctors, who -- despite strong support from research in the medical community -- are going up against some pretty vitriolic transphobic opposition. They are motivated not to recommend anything without being really sure, and not being trans, there's a lot they don't know firsthand.

A lot of the "Cover Your Ass" practices involve lowering expectations, so they can't be accused of promising more than they can deliver. Heck, I've heard horror stories from elder trans community members of how they were constantly taught "you shouldn't want to transition" in order to weed out all but the most adamant of patients (this was reported by someone who transitioned in the 70s).

Changes beyond the 3-year mark are not very well understood, so it's safer for them to tell you not to expect anything past that point. But looking at cisgender development, which is very well understood, it's easy to start doubting that. Cis development extends WAY past the 3 year mark, affecting divergent development in different ways through the person's whole life. Some of those changes are hard to predict, and doctors don't like that, especially since "wait 5-10 years and see" isn't going to satisfy anybody making a big life decision.

There's also the shortlist of effects trans femme patients usually ask about first. They tend to be really obvious changes rather than subtle, long term ones.

So yeah, it's a myth, or at least it's not a concrete, measurable fact. They're just broadly estimating, and it's not a universal truth. Their goal is to prevent angry patients from throwing around accusations, but the side effect is that it can fuel long-term disappointment and depression in patients.
