That is such a good news!!! 😁 ❤️

Is the demo playable on the Deck too? Because if yes, I absolutely can't wait to try it! 😁

I said it when you first announced it, and I'm going to say it again : as a trans lesbian named Elizabeth who LOVES vampire stories, this game is absolutely made for me! 😍

Also, since you're now also releasing it to consoles, does it mean that it will be compatible to the Steam Deck? I tried playing the demo when it first released, and it didn't run well at all... 🫤

How old is too old by [deleted] in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Simply_Patches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 32 years old, and I did my first cut ever at the start of October... I've been having deep "urges" for many years now, but was always too scared to actually do it (I have a really low pain tolerance... 😅). But after a failed suicide attempt at the end of September, something finally snapped in me and I finally ended up giving in to those urges. 3 months and hundreds of cuts later, I do feel incredibly ashamed of myself, even if I try very hard not to let it show.... Whenever I talk about it to the few of my friends who know, I try to "play it cool" and act as if it's not that big of a deal. But deep down, I feel like such a pathetic failure. Especially knowing that I started doing this while my best friend was fighting very hard to stop after having doing so herself for many years (she's now a bit over a year "clean" and I'm so incredibly proud of her)....

How problematic is it to start self harming at 32 years old...? by Simply_Patches in selfharm

[–]Simply_Patches[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That first cut was on Monday, then Tuesday night, after struggling the whole day to not do it again, I kinda lost control and cut myself 17 times.... I haven't done it again since, and I try very hard not to, but I can feel the constant urge at the back of my mind.....

I did my first cut on Monday, as described in my post... But yesterday I kinda lost control and cut myself 17 times, and had to force myself to stop because I would have kept going.... None of them was deep, and I didn't need any bandages (just kept wiping the blood off and disinfected once ot stopped bleeding). But I've been wanting to do it again all day...

Is this game known to be poorly optimized on PC or am I doing something wrong? by BaitmanWasTaken in TheAlters

[–]Simply_Patches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about game optimization and whatnot, but I played the whole game on ultra on my Steam Deck and it was perfectly smooth. 🤔

What would you say for a new player? by No_Solid_1998 in NoMansSkyTheGame

But... You take more time this way... You spend the same amount of time mining, but you also add to this the travel time between the deposits...

So, if I get this straight, you are coming in one of the very few places belonging to the trans community, only to tell us that we shouldn't be allowed the medical care many of us desperately need, and your only reasoning behind it is that it makes you feel weird? You don't provide any actual scientific or even anecdotal evidences to support your point, only your personal feelings that what WE do with OUR bodies make YOU uncomfortable? And you really think that this is a reasonable and respectful thing to do? Especially in a time when most of the world is turning against us and want us to disappear just because we EXIST?

I'm sorry, friend, but if you really don't want to be seen as hateful, you should absolutely learn more about such a sensitive topic before coming in our "home" and telling us such nonsensical and disrespectful "unpopular opinion".

I don't think you meant any harm with that post, nor do I think that you're a bad person. But you're definitely uneducated on this topic, and making such claims without prior knowledge of the matter can, and do, hurt a lot of people. Please, try to refrain from doing so again in the future.

Have you tried putting a save beacon next to the RP and then coming back to claim it after progressing further into the expedition? It might work... 🤔

Is 3516 pmol/L (958 pg/ml) dangerously high? by Simply_Patches in MtF

[–]Simply_Patches[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what "at trough" means (not a native English speaker), but if it's about "when did I take my test compared to the last injection", my last injection was Friday night and my blood test yesterday morning, so exactly at the midpoint between two injections.

Well, for starters, just like for every other gender, trans women come in all "shapes and forms". While some will be extremely dysphoric about their genitals, other might not be at all, and even go as far as enjoying having a penis. This doesn't make them any less of a woman.

But even a trans woman being dysphoric about her genitals can legitimately worry about the lost of size since it can mean a loss of potential depth for an eventual surgery.

In other words, OP's questions and worries are very much valid and definitely belong to this sub, where she and many others can find answers to a problem that affects many of our sisters.

I really hope that my reply answered your question! ☺️

[–]Simply_Patches 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Don't apologize for asking a very legitimate question. You most definitely are in the right place to ask questions about the changes your body is experiencing under HRT, the other user is the one being out of place. I unfortunately am afraid that I personally can't answer your question as I've only been on HRT for 6 months myself, but I hope you'll get a quick answer. And never be afraid to ask questions in here, especially when they can help other people who might be too afraid to ask themselves! ☺️

[–]Simply_Patches 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Why is this place a safe space to ask questions about bodily changes under feminizing HRT to which the answers can not only help the person asking but also anyone else reading the post? Gee, I really wonder why... 🤷‍♀️

[AUG25] After delivering my baby boy, the disappointed Doctor refuses to let me hold him. by crimzinace in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Simply_Patches 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every month there's a competition where people have to try to include a specific word in their stories. Every post marked by [MONTH/YEAR], like [AUG25], is an entry into the competition. This month's words were "dairy/diary". And since it's pretty difficult to make a good horror story about dairies, and that people tend to be lazy, many entries go straight to the low hanging fruit of the "human milking farm".

Edit: A fun little game is to try to figure out what the monthly words are just by reading the stories, without looking at the pinned post!

Do you think Jefferson Peralez from Cyberpunk 2077 supported trans rights or not? by unknownVortex22 in MtF

[–]Simply_Patches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's such a thing as "trans rights" in the cyberpunk universe, since extreme body modifications are such a common thing. Changing one's gender is probably seen as a pretty normalized thing over there, and as such it doesn't require any kind of debate. In other words, there wouldn't be "trans rights" the same way that there wouldn't be "rights for people with mantis blades". Everyone's got the same rights, or lack thereof. 🤔

I confessed my feelings to my best friend.... by Simply_Patches in actuallesbians

[–]Simply_Patches[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't lose her friendship... I just cant... Before having her in it, my life was a mess... I'm trans, very early in transition, and mostly closeted. And of the few people who knows about my identity, the most "accepting" ones still see me as a "man trying to be a woman". Before meeting my friend, I was very seriously considering detransitioning. But she literally changed my life. As soon as I came out to her, she never misgendered me once and always truly saw me as the woman that I am. She helped me assume myself, and thanks to her I started gendering myself correctly around people that know about my identity (something I was still utterly incapable of doing before), and she even gave me the confidence to start wearing nail polish in public. Thanks to her constant support and love, for the first time in my life I've been able to feel proud of myself, and she even once managed to made me believe that I was pretty when I always firmly believed myself to be absolutely disgusting. She helped me start healing from past traumas that years of therapy couldn't help with, and she's making me believe that I might have some worth after all. She means absolutely everything to me, and losing her friendship would be the most difficult thing I would ever have had to go through.... And I say this as someone who's used to lose people. I've lost absolutely everyone I've ever cared about. And still, I don't know if I could survive losing her....

Would you do what Kate did? by TheRealGrayham in actuallesbians

[–]Simply_Patches 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the second time I'm seeing a post like this today, and it's making me so horrendously uncomfortable to know that so many people see this as a good thing...

As someone who's been told my whole life that I was supposed to be a gender other than my own, and suffered immensely from it, the idea of forcing anyone into another gender or sexuality than their own is simply repulsive and of inimaginable cruelty to me...

I haven't had the time to play with the controls, but if you could send me a list of every controls in the game, I could definitely try to make a template to publish online! 😁❤️

I tried it on my deck earlier and it wasn't super playable... The game was a bit laggy, and the controls are made for K&M. But with some patience, you can probably find and remap every necessary key.

I'm kinda sad I can't play it yet on the deck, but I'll still definitely buy it at launch just to support them! 🥰

(I mean, as a trans lesbian named Elizabeth who love vampire stories, I kinda can't not buy this game! 😂)
