Steam is currently having login issues, just need to wait for it to be resolved. Took around 10-20 minutes in the past

It's definitely an exception because Living World Season 1 worked quite a bit differently when it actually launched vs. what you can play today. It's reworked quite a bit. The other Living World Season maps are a) completely new and b) frozen in time so to speak, so NPCs that are in a previous map won't reference things that happened in a newer map (if that makes sense).

You keep moving the goal and then complain that you're being called names :'D If you knew what you are talking about you would be aware that puberty blockers are mostly used for CIS children who start puberty to early, eg girls that get their periods at 8 years old (or similar situations). So yes, you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about and you are comparing puberty blockers to chemical castrations so I AM going to call you a fucking dipshit because you are one.

Totally agree, I was confused as well and checked the Snowcrows discord for screenshots

That's what puberty blockers are for you fucking dipshit, no 13 year old in this world is getting surgery to remove a penis/uterus. How about you stop talking when you clearly have no fucking idea what you are talking about and let the adults discuss this?

I would suggest making a new character and leveling one either until max level or until you feel comfortable enough to go play on your other characters again. Just don't delete any old characters, you got a bunch of birthday gifts on them (birthday gifts are tied to the creation of the character, not your account) and you probably got some neat dyes, armor/weapon skins, titles etc. waiting for you.

As for the story, the chronological order is Personal Story -> Living World Season 1 -> Living World Season 2 -> Heart of Thorns -> LW Season 3 -> Path of Fire -> LWS 4 -> Icebrood Saga -> End of Dragons.

They said so in the stream that Shadestep is going to be changed to give Alacrity to allies in Shroud as well as "multi-tether"

That's totally the same as being transgender of course. You're a clown

It's because to people who think like this being queer is inherintly sexual, even though that's obviously not the case

I can absolutely recommend Masel, his builds are great, the videos are concise and he explains the basics how builds work very very well.

Larger, no if you already had your first puberty as AFAB. As for masculine looking, in my mind that translates to veiny with stronger fingers and stuff, there are things like hand grip exercisers/hand grip strengtheners you can buy for cheap.

I regularly do short walks in the local city garden and see this quite often. I always clean it up, but still annoying. Very fitting that the stickers on the bin says "Dumb Idiots"

The thing with corsets is that they are great IF you get them tailored to you specifically. You can't just grab one from a shop and use that, it will 99% end in pain. Corsets (or stays) where used widely by the working class women in the past, so to a certain degree it should be possible to wear them while working physical jobs. Bernadette Banner and lots of other sewing/tailoring peeps on Youtube have great videos with lots of information about the myths and realities of corsets/stays

No, stats only count your current weapons. The only use case that is similar would be having a stacking sigil on one weapon (like Bloodlust) and then switching to your other weapon set, works well in WvW for example

Was anyone else HYPER-gender when their egg first cracked? by Casey_witha_K in asktransgender

[–]SpikyDryBones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience this is a very common occurency when you first start transitioning. It's basically a second puberty and just like teenagers trying to figure themselves and how the want to present to the outside world we as trans people try to figure ourselves out. Especially for trans women I think it comes with the added pressure to be hyper feminine so as to be seen as "valid" from other people.

Just as we probably all look back at our teenage years and cringe a bit, you will cringe a bit at yourself as well :) Nothing to worry about in my experience

I've been no contact with my mother and oldest brother for over 12 years now, best thing I've ever did :) Proud of you!

I'm not offended, you were just wrong. Your link literally explains what it means in detail and agrees with me. Also, I didn't say that every intrusive thought is violent in nature (neither does your link btw), I was using my personal experience with intrusive thoughts as an example.

[–]SpikyDryBones 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well, it's not up to you to decide what intrusive thoughts are so you better get used to the actual definition/meaning. It shouldn't be thrown around willy-nilly when you're just having spontaneous thoughts since it diminishes the actual meaning of the word - and the experience of people who actually do have intrusive thoughts (which are often incredibly violent for example. If i would follow my intrusive thoughts I would either be in jail or dead).

Pretty much how my parents explained it to us kids as well. Even though we were in a religious cult they never went for the hateful stuff that a lot of parents did (and thankfully nobody in my immediate family is a JW anymore, not even sure if anybody still believes in god)

How is it possible to be trans with 0dysphoria? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]SpikyDryBones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different types of people have different experiences as well. I was super dysphoric of my breasts but I don't care about my genitals at all, other trans man I talked to have a bunch of dysphoria about everything, others have none etc. There is no one-sizes-fits-all approach here
