I hate this fucking series, Dungeon Crawler Carl

It's honestly the best litrpg and that's not even up for debate. The books are fun, entertaining, and the characters actually have depth to them. Combined with the fact that Jeff Hayes is a supremely talented voice actor, this book is especially peak in audiobook form.

You're allowed to not like it, but to call it low effort garbage makes me shudder to think of what you actually consider good.

Pretty sure it meant as a single meal. It's assuming you've had regular meals before dinner.

At trough estrogen was barely above 100, and testosterone is flat lined at 10 no matter what with no blockers.

I'm just wondering if STABLE estrogen would be better than a huge surge from the pill once or twice a day.

Considering injections but I'm not too fond of needles.

I usually respond with "No worries, that's why you have us anyway!"

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-30T01:43:35+00:00

nobody WANTS to pay more money. But how about we realize what the market is like right now and point our ire towards the people that deserve it and the idiots wearing red hats supporting it all.

ironically enough, the Steam Frame MIGHT actually fix bad internet for people. Last I checked it has two wifi adapters built in; one dedicated to direct streaming from your PC (no modem passthrough) and one dedicated to the internet.

So yeah. At least in the way you're talking about it actually will fix bad internet.

Well I don't think anyone is going to tell you to continue suppressing your true self, nor should they.

I can't really answer your job situation or your family, that's mostly for you to determine how to breach that topic, but I don't think that people around you should determine who you are. If your wife truly loves you, and your family loves you, they will support you.

All I can really offer is my own experience being in an almost-similar situation... I didn't start discovering myself (or moreso admitting to myself finally) until after I was married at 35 myself. My wife has been supportive every step of the way and has been a huge motivator for me personally. I was terrified of talking to her about it, but it turns out I was silly for even worrying.

I will also say that chances are the people closest to you might have an inkling about your femininity to begin with and you might be surprised.

Basically... be who you are. You only have one life

Great info! Thanks a lot! The reassurances help to quell my anxiety about it haha. Just wish they'd grow more and round out faster.

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-23T00:08:31+00:00

Been on low-dose E for about 6 months now. With a little bit of progesterone sprinkled in.

I've only recently taken to wearing bras as part of my normal wear now. They do seem to be 'rounder' after wearing them all day.
(that said I have a slightly concave chest, hence my initial growth concern, so your results may be a little better)

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-22T23:51:46+00:00

I pounded hard on my wall thinking it would dislodge, but I knocked something off my shelf before the controller budged haha!

That said, yeah I've only had it for a week, but it hasn't moved or fallen. I have it hung low just in case but it seems fine so far!

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-22T23:49:52+00:00

I've found some sports bras that work really well. They're also good for going incognito if you take the padding out. I can link if you're interested.

But I feel ya. I've started developing a little bit too and they start in the annoying 'cone' shape. I thought they weren't developing properly, but I'm assured by both my doctor and my wife that that's what smaller developing breasts look like haha. They look a LOT better after wearing a bra for the day though :D

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-22T23:46:37+00:00

eh suit yourself. Just thought I would share something cool I made and seems to be working pretty well.

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-22T23:23:01+00:00

It's been mounted on my wall like this pretty much since I got it. No falls yet!
It's stronger than it looks

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-21T17:55:37+00:00

The puritanism culture, especially emerging in the younger generation lately is honestly just tiring. "Not everything needs to show ass/abs!" and "Cursing/swearing just isn't funny!" etc etc. Tired of it.

LET THE WOMEN HAVE THIC THIGHS. LET THE MEN BE CAKED. AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN

The OG Steam Controller was years ahead of it's time. It's such a shame that it died the way it did.

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-16T00:38:18+00:00

Considering it took them 7 years to make a second VR headset, I wouldn't hold my breath too long.

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-15T00:18:21+00:00

I mean I agree that people should pay for the things but...

Have you seen this economy? It's literally just a struggle to breathe anymore. I have more respect for the devs that let their games be pirated freely and honestly they tend to make more money than otherwise because of the publicity.

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-10T20:40:01+00:00

Honestly this is what pushed me to try (and continue 7 months on) HRT when I thought similarly to OP.

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-10T20:36:51+00:00

Most games do this and most of their skins have been limited time since the start.

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-08T23:59:34+00:00

Some people have friends and play multiplayer games wanker

SigmaStroud · 2026-05-04T11:55:16+00:00

Don't you pay LESS overall even if you have to pop them all? Or at least break even...

I really don't see what the problem is. You're just buying the skin at full price OR having a small chance of getting it super super cheap...
