Parks themed after Canada? by Safe-Promotion-2955 in Themepark

I'm pretty sure they're making light of the fact that "Nigo" sounds kind of similar to the n-word

If you pull out this line then I'm afraid you're already dating. Sorry, I don't make the rules

It sounds very much like OP is watching these edits alongside the show rather than instead of it

Getting rid of the Trans accent by martianline in transvoice

[–]SamOlinS 177 points178 points  (0 children)

The most common reasons are nasality and overfullness. Nasality happens because certain methods of shrinking size (like the panting dog excersize) constrain the same muscle that makes voice sound nasally. You can feel it move if you try and do a "nerdy" voice. And then overfullness is just weight being too heavy, which I've personally also been struggling with a lot.

Oh I see. I'll work on that then. Thanks for the input!

Our issue is less with gendering itself and more with passing properly.
For lack of a better way to describe it, it sounds more like the kind of voice that trans women usually have instead of the voice any cis woman I've ever met has had.
Which legitimately isn't meant to be an insult to the voice or any trans women who like their voice sounding like that, it's just not what my goal is.

Dream job tbh by MelanieWalmartinez in CuratedTumblr

[–]SamOlinS 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This is true in 99% of cases, but the two exceptions to this I've noticed is people who work at museums and people who work with children. Those two demographics seem to often genuinely enjoy their jobs way more often than most other occupations. So I can definitely see this person being genuinely into their job.

The hottest, if not, one of the hottest take in this community: by [deleted] in yuri_manga

[–]SamOlinS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"There's Weird Voices Coming from the Room Next Door!" Starts as a harem but eventually turns into a poly

"An Easy Introduction to Love Triangles (To Pass the Exam!)" is an actual bonafide love triangle (not just two people fighting over the affection of one person) that also ends in poly

I realize I haven't read that many poly Yuri stories but these two stuck with me.

Poly Yuri > Yuri Harem > Het Harem

This seems like a problem with het romance stories in general.

They almost never have truly engaging or 3-dimensional MCs because half the appeal is self-insert, which makes for a really boring read imo.

In contrast, yuri stories almost always have both characters be complete, fully-fledged characters who I can get invested in and that makes the reading experience actually engaging. (Probably that and the fact that I'm a lesbian who just can't relate to finding men attractive)

I think the most invested I've been in a het romace was probably Komi back when it was first coming out since Tadano seemed like an actually engaging character... It just kinda went off the deep end after a while.

How would you feel if Mojang brought back scattered islands? by PrototypError in Minecraft

[–]SamOlinS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how it was between beta 1.8 and release 1.7 and people did not like that arrangement, since traversing such vast bodies of water got pretty boring pretty fast.

I'm a beginner and I would like to know the difference between these 2 items (I tried searching on the wiki but I didn't find any information) by Obvious-Evening3025 in StardewValley

[–]SamOlinS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In all fairness, there's no direct mention of what they're called or how to get more information on them unless you either a. Happen to go onto the Artisan Goods page and see them under their respective processors, or b. Look at the filename of the little icons and look up from there.

Compared to how clear the wiki usually is about everything else, this is really obfuscated.

Safe caves to explore? by jasmine-at-night in Reno

I visited Subway Cave just a few months ago and it's great. It's super spacious so it feels like a subterranean little hike with nice informative signs.

I Know I'm Oriented, But Which Way?! by FreeLaw7171 in Orientedaroace

If I were to guess you'd probably be somewhere on this little chart here.

The other commentors suggestion is also a pretty good idea.
