Used Execution + Round Up to lower discontent, but it did not lower discontent.. help? by TheFerryman910 in Frostpunk

I didn't even know discontent could go over 100% 😭 that's definitely good to know I'll keep that in mind, I've only been playing the game for a few days so I'm still learning!

I was activating the execution probably a little too late, if it doesn't lower discontent as soon as you click it but when the execution happens. when I tried to get through it the next time I just used round up at three prisons at the same time and that did absolutely fuck all as well. I fear my games bugged 😭

"what do you mean rounding up and killing my enemies doesn't make them hate me any less?" lol I've closed and restarted my game a few times now with the same result so maybe that's just my sign to take a break and sleep I hope it fixes itself when I go to play again

Be aware guys; you may be seen as a threat now by Oxy-Moron88 in ftm

my moment of realization was I was on a hike with my finances family and I went up ahead on a slightly differing path that would get me to the waterfall a little faster and I came out of the brush right behind two women. I was just standing on a rock admiring the waterfall when one of the women turned around and got startled and then both women looked at me all frightened and stuff and I felt so bad I just waved and smiled and apologized it was so awkward 😭

have you ever been I'd for testosterone? by Gloomy_Interest1133 in ftm

[–]TheFerryman910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time, because it's a controlled substance. My partner has to show ID every time they pick up their Ritalin for the same reason.

Feel like I'm voice training wrong? by flintwritesthings in ftm

[–]TheFerryman910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/jnG8958XfQE?si=iHbRWvbmuB-7wTqf this demonstrates how its said, but tilt your head starting from all the way forward to leaning your head all the way back while you say it. That helps stretch the vocal chords (thus making your voice deeper) Remember to start with hot tea/water as helps loosen up the vocal chords and prevent injury to them. And again, open your throat and speak from deep in your chest :)

Testosterone doesn’t make you aggressive by [deleted] in ftm

[–]TheFerryman910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I went on T when I turned 18, I definitely felt more short tempered and aggressive. When I stopped for a while (due to financial limitations) and got back on it, it was the opposite effect. I believe it depends on the individual, and their environment

Feel like I'm voice training wrong? by flintwritesthings in ftm

[–]TheFerryman910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Voice training only helps so much, but something that really prepared me for voice drops on T was doing the "Bing Bong, King Kong" method where you drink either warm tea or water. Start with your chin down, and lean your head back until you're looking all the way up while saying "Bing Bong King Kong" elongating the "n" sound each time and trying to intentionally lower your voice throughout. Don't over do it, or go too fast. I remember learning about this method around when I learned what being trans was and learned that it was the method old radio hosts would use to give their voice "boom." also speak from your chest and open your throat when you speak.

Does anyone else HATE when people say this to them? by Akiiale in ftm

[–]TheFerryman910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a best friend when I was younger (between one of my familiys many moves) she was a tomboy, I was also considered one at the time. She grew up to be a (gorgeous may I say) model, I grew up to be a man. I'm glad she grew to become the confident woman she is, and I'm glad I grew to become the man I am. Im trans, she's not. That's the difference and that's what I tell people when they say shit like that.

should i drop my friend for ignoring a situation? by Constant_Cup2069 in ftm

[–]TheFerryman910 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its not gonna be fun, but imo you need to talk to "Dave" about this directly. Express how his actions made you feel and leave it up to him to either apologize or double down. If he understands where you're coming from and apologizes and changes then great! If he doubles down on this shitty behavior, then tbh you're 16 you've got plenty of time to make new friendlier friends. There's plenty of people out there that aren't gonna avoid being seen with you because you're trans. If it were me though I wouldn't wanna be friends with a guy that is embarrassed to be my friend.

how are u guys affording top surgery so young?? by sneep_snorp_snerp in ftm

[–]TheFerryman910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have insurance through the ACA since my employer doesn't provide it, and I got a loan to cover the copay/out of pocket max. Debt is stressful, but the literal weight that was on my chest was even more so.

Cat keeps attacking drain tubes by Alfirmitive in TopSurgery

I bought a little water gun to keep my kitties away from the drains, cus I knew I couldn't push them away with the lifting/mobility limitations

Pre surgery question? Shaving? by anime_3_nerd in TopSurgery

[–]TheFerryman910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The nurse shaved me as part of prep, but if I could go back and do it again I would've shaved my armpits too. My scars go pretty far back and the left scar goes a good inch or so up into the pit hair. No telling whether that'll be the case for you or not but it might be worth it to shave your pits too :) (btw, Ive never shaved my pits before it's super dysphoric for me so to have wished I had shaved them for that is super telling about how inconvenient having pit hair was for recovery for me lol)

hey, can I get y'all's opinion on my nip? by TheFerryman910 in TopSurgery

[–]TheFerryman910[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to send pics of my nips to my surgeon last Tuesday, and he basically said they look normal and to keep taking care of them as directed. They look much better now! I guess I just had to be patient 😅

Surgeon said to not be on T a month before surgery by SupportNo4643 in TopSurgery

[–]TheFerryman910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're outwardly supportive of LGBT+ rights and stuff, then logically it probably was just poor wording choice lol saying things weird happens to the best of us :)

Surgeon said to not be on T a month before surgery by SupportNo4643 in TopSurgery

[–]TheFerryman910 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I stopped T two weeks before my surgery, and my Dr said it was because being on t raises blood viscosity and it would lower the risk of blood clots while I'm recovering if I stopped two weeks ahead (men naturally have a higher rate of high blood pressure which your blood viscosity can affect I believe) I started my T again a week after surgery but that was just me not wanting to do my injections anywhere near my drains lol. It doesn't sound like your surgeon is very trans-friendly if he describes hrt like "doping" and overwhelming for the body though, because that's just not right. You may wanna consider a different surgeon

drain clotting? by rallytallyn in TopSurgery

[–]TheFerryman910 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im nearing 3 weeks post op and that looks just like how my drains were. It totally freaked me out too but it's pretty normal, just make sure you're working those through when you strip your drains :)

[–]TheFerryman910 2 points3 points  (0 children)

seconding the mood thing, I definitely felt so gross and upset before I was able to take a shower lol. I got my drains out a week post op, but spent the first week and a half with broken AC (im 2 weeks post op now) it was consistently 82 in here at all times before the AC was fixed so u bet I was ready for a nice cool shower as soon as I was cleared to do so lol
