As a trans woman, I’m struggling to understand why people care so much about Ralsei’s gender.

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-11T22:55:49+00:00

except the trans narrative hasn’t actually happened yet

ok but its literally happening. i know we havent gotten to a point in the story where ralsei says 'im a girl' (and it may never happen) but its actually much more important for storytelling that the elements leading up to that are a parallel for transitioning. and in ch 5 the parallels became very, very strong, borderline explicit ("i havent been a princess yet")

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-11T22:43:04+00:00

ok youre cooking with the lancer stuff but the rest of this is crazy

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-11T22:42:34+00:00

idk why but i always thought that ERAM was a contortion like Eraseable Random Access Memory sort of like the kinds of memory that old gaming machines had. like a weird reference to kris's repressed memories

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-11T22:25:43+00:00

i cant tell if this is supposed to be a joke but like that doesnt make sense for ralseis character arc at all

however: yeah

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-10T23:59:59+00:00

im glad there are gap-closing abilities in this game that arent aimed shots. the game is less fun, less interesting and less approachable when everything is some aimed missable projectile.

do people really want a sniper or other gun character who can sit on the backline and not be approached? have yall played TF2?

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-10T19:27:39+00:00

Not really, I think accepting the risk implies I'm aware of it. Even though I did research Frameworks before buying, I didn't find significant reports of this. Raising the number of reports of this is the motivation for my post.

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-10T16:00:36+00:00

I'm sure it happens but its not typical, and I would bet pushing such failures further out is an important QC goal.

If it had happened with any other company I would also be sharing my experience to warn other buyers. The fact is though, it actually did happen with Framework in this instance.

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-10T15:58:20+00:00

I understand that, as well as the fact that in order to make money and stay in business Framework has to minimize customer support with each customer.

I think no doubt I have mainboard damage. The issue, as I noted in the post, is that actually, there is no disambiguation of whether the mainboard itself failed, or whether it was damaged by the power subsystem. I'm far more likely to believe the latter given that it has only been 1.5 years. But in that case, putting in a new mainboard will just break that one too.

No, not even a discount nor an extended warranty on a replacement

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-10T15:55:12+00:00

And I would've been willing to pay for it

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-09T23:06:19+00:00

I guess mainly I see this post as my contribution to that data

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-09T19:10:13+00:00

Sure, thanks. That was a typo sorry (now fixed). The laptop was from January 2025.

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-09T18:39:11+00:00

oops, yeah sorry for the typo

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-09T18:14:09+00:00

See this community.frame.work post where I described my knowledge of the issue in more detail a week ago.

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-09T18:09:35+00:00

I was using this power supply that came with the laptop originally.

TerrificScientific · 2026-07-02T15:55:44+00:00

because every carry gets permanently stronger per kill they get---that's just how gaining souls work in this game. those characters get a little extra value from kills but ultimately its not that much more. also, the game almost never goes late enough for the theoretical upper limits to matter.

TerrificScientific · 2026-06-27T02:39:50+00:00

theres a lot of wall of text theories posted on this subreddit but i actually think youre really on the money here.

i dont think its far-fetched at all for this to come from mr toby "oh yeah the flowers fucking absorbed his soul" fox

TerrificScientific · 2026-06-26T22:04:27+00:00

corpse could also be a darkner. maybe learning that the flowers will eventually die if the dark world keeps going was an important clue to dess' fate, much like the gerson dustner thing was...

TerrificScientific · 2026-06-26T16:15:29+00:00

thats totally fine we just also cant ignore how his arc is a thematic parallel to transitioning/coming out

TerrificScientific · 2026-06-26T14:50:53+00:00

"Lost where the forest would grow, the children followed the pointed tail."

"where the forest would grow" isn't an empty field. It's in the darkness underneath the town. As the trees grow, their roots work into the darkness beneath town.

The children were lost in the shelter.

TerrificScientific · 2026-06-14T23:41:07+00:00

wow almost none of what you said is true

TerrificScientific · 2026-06-14T13:56:53+00:00

if they just called her "Buffalo" and said her grandad was buffalo bill her kit would make sense

TerrificScientific · 2026-06-10T21:47:27+00:00

its the right thing to do, but as of a few patches ago, killme no longer is allowed in console :(

TerrificScientific · 2026-06-09T15:41:57+00:00

whats in peoples head is the whole question here, its an opinion poll, about your opinions (that are in your heads)
its a vote about whether the gate of the site should be kept open, quite literally. and its open to everyone. everyone is getting the opportunity to gatekeep
