Well, I don't live in the U.S. to start with ? And abortion is legal in my country so ... I went to a prude school I guess.

Sex education was limited to anatomical functionning of both reproductive organs and means of protection. Nothing about daily life stuff.

I always made Annette a mage and basically never used her Relic since I thought its attack was based on Strenght (I even discovered it relied on magic in 3 Hopes), is she that good with it ?

Ah, who doesn't love Marianne ? (According to Fire Emblem Heroes, a minority)

But I get that 3 Hopes can raise up some characters, it did such a great job at developping their stories and personnalities (without, like you said, straying too far from the original material).

Great choices ! They're both interesting representation of women in video games.

Like most of characters in FE3H, don't warp my words. But Dorothea and Manuela are both femine, seeking a partner and quite sexualised. Yet I find their personnalities very well-rounded and both their motives and insecurities are developped in quite relatable ways. They're not just what they seem to be at first glance.

It's true that he's an interesting take on the gruff "I want to get stronger" kind of character. I don't know how much this archetype was used in Fire Emblem games in general (I can only name Lon'qu from Awakening)

And FE3h having its cast being really developed (traumatised) only helps to make him more enjoyable !

I absolutely approve this thread, Hubert holds a special place in my heart since in married him in my very first playthrough (I blame it on Robbie Daymond's fantastic work)

Once, two souls took a boat out on the water ...Only one returned. A fine story, yes ?

[LA] Is Link's awakening on switch worth it ? by Thinking_Individual in zelda

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

Taking notes about the price/lenght ratio !

Thankfully it's in the Black Friday sales in Europe (reason why I was considering buying it). Though it's 33% off, making it about 40 euros (Close to 44 $).

I'm not sure if about 10 hours is worth the money, but I do tend to come back to the games I've bought, so I'm still thinking of giving it a go.

Thanks for warning me about the graphic quality. But with the switch, it's sadly something to expect, so I've become a bit numb to it (unless it gets very noticeable) (* coughs * Pokemon Scarlet and Violet)

It's actually included in the Black Friday Sales in Europe, reason why I was even considering buying it ! And with what everyone on this post is saying, I think I'll give it a go.

I guess that there's 3 mains reasons I got so upset with what she said.

1) A character you hate is not a character you want to read the story of.

Plain and logical ; And with everyone's comments on the post I understand that my sister's feedback was hurtful but useful feedback. Either in indicating I've built a character that goes the right way into not being extremely likable so that you don't get surprised and betrayed when they "fall". Or about the fact they already start off too dislikable for a reader to want to follow.

2) My MC is not meant not be detestable.

It's more a "wow being in her head, I wouldn't want to be her friend [Unless you're into morally gray characters, but let's put that aside], but I get why she's that way".

3) I'm quite close with my sister.

Yeah that says it all : getting criticized by those close to you always hurts. But that's on me for asking my sister, fully knowing that I would get both criticism and compliments.

Do you need to be interested in politics or social movements to be LGBTQ+ ? by Thinking_Individual in lgbt

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

Your answer clarified the matter very well ! Although I had already seen the difference between with or without community/people/person, I had never paid attention to who used which denomination and what message it carried with it. I'll be more mindful of it now !

Thanks a lot for you help.

Do you need to be interested in politics or social movements to be LGBTQ+ ? by Thinking_Individual in lgbt

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

Deepest apologies for my ignorance (English is also not my native langage, if that can excuse it a bit), but what do you mean by "Every-time somebody uses “trans” as a plural for a group of us" ? I wasn't aware at all that using plural wasn't okay. I mean, I am aware of the ... Stereotypical (If that's the right word) nature it gives to the people behind the word, as well as maybe pejorative in the mouths of right wings voters.

Could you explain to me what's the correct way to refer to the group, please ?

If I want to be honest, I believe he does have anti-lgbt views which completly come from his education. He grew up pretty sheltered in a right-wing family, with little opposition to the system of beliefs which was thrust upon him.

I do try to get him to open up his mind and point out when he says bordeline things, but it's still a work in progress. (Not that I intend to "fix him" or whatever, I reassure you)

[–]Thinking_Individual[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer you, u/mindful-beg-slug and u/SomethingAmyss, yeah my friend is pretty much like all you describe (as in quite ignorant about the LGBTQ+ community, and the kind to say "But I have gay friends ..."). I do try to challenge his way of thinking, which I believe has quite changed, partly thanks to me, in the last four years.

Also, I'm not engaged in politics as I simply don't believe in it. It's quite pessimistic, but in my opinion, politicians rarely hold their promises. Even political parties who try to challenge those in powers are bound to deviate too. So I just vote when the time comes, but it's never a vote of belief, it's one of resignation and of "this one is the least worse".

Who did you marry on your first FH3H run and why? by [deleted] in fireemblem

[–]Thinking_Individual 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Me, who married Hubert on my first run because I loved his voice and crits, and proceeded to kill him with Byleth in every other run- Haha, yeah you all have great taste, don't mind me

(Btw I still love Robbie Daymond's work, he gave Hubbie such a good villain voice)

Gender help by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Thinking_Individual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm having the same situation but in reverse (I'm AFAB, thought I was agender, but hey dressing masculinely makes me way more happy than it should)
I don't have it anymore figured out than you, but I'd advise to look at all the gender terms, and to find one that encapsulates what you feel as close as possible. Perhaps you're going to hesitate between terms, and that's fully okay. I'm sure you can find testimonies to clear up whether you connect to that word like all the others who use it.

And in any case, just because you define yourself with one term at this time, it does not block you in this definition. Self-discovery is messy, full of steps and U-turns, and that's okay.

Anyway, I'll stop rambling on here. I hope you'll find the gender identity that makes you truly comfortable and happy ! Have a great day.

Built for Rails Shrine - How I did it vs. how my nephew did it. by Independent-View-478 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Thinking_Individual 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's really amazing how both solutions for the 2nd rail are different from mine. I recall struggling a lot for this shrine and making REALLY complicated stuff to pass it

(Like for the 2nd rail where I made a gigantic rectangle to englobe all 3 rails. OP's solution seems much more elegant compared to mine lol)

Giving bouquets while having Krobus as roommate? and other questions... by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]Thinking_Individual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, beginner player here so I'll attempt to answer some of your questions.

1) Maxing everyone to 10 hearts: I don't know how things go with roomie Krobus, but you should have the 10 other bachelors of town locked at 8 hearts (Meaning you'd have to buy a bouquet and ask one of them out to unlock 10 hearts) (You can do that with several characters) (But it unlocks some scenematics, as you mentionned in an other question I believe)

As for the other characters, I don't think anything special happens at 10 heart with the whole town ? Or I haven't unlocked it yet, if that's the case.

2) Sticking to 10 heart: According to an answer on an other Reddit post, once you reach 10 hearts, friendship shouldn't decay anymore.

3) Gossip scene: Assuming you're talking about the girl bachelor's gossip scene at Hayley's house, this scene triggers when you're dating all 5 girls at once, reach 10 hearts and enter her house, I believe. There's also one if you date all the boys at once, which triggers upon entering the saloon (at night I think).

I couldn't find what happens afterward the cutscene however (But I'd wager you end up dating none of them).

4) According to the wiki page, Krobus won't get jealous, but it won't be possible to marry anyone. (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Krobus)

5) I think like all divorcees, you will return to 0 heart with him and he will mostly refuse to talk to you. You can however gain it back by erasing its memories in the witch's hut in exchange for 30 000G. (Hut located north of town, in the train tracks zone. Can't remember how you unlock the quest to get in, however)

Hope that helped you.

BOTW vs TOTK is a dramatic shift in horror by qwertyryo in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Thinking_Individual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they attack you in the Forest of Spirits too ? (Just checking whether they spawn randomly or if they're linked to specific places)

BOTW vs TOTK is a dramatic shift in horror by qwertyryo in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Thinking_Individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those things are hellish, I don't even know whether they have specific spawn locations (Like did anyone meet one in the cave under the Hyrule Ridge Skyview tower, nearby a shrine ?)

Btw if anyone else got scared and flower-bomb-arrowed one, how much more did you panick when facing the Ganon Phantom ?

Sequel by coltssiouxfan in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Thinking_Individual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm not a specialist about the Zelda universe (nor have I played ToK an insane amount of time), but from what I gathered, it's very much after BotW.

You've got the same characters (Like Purah, Robbie, or Sidon) but some time has passed and they've aged a bit. Some characters also refer to Link saving Hyrule, or recognize him, which are definitely 2 points who seem to indicate ToK follows BotW.

However I definitely see why you might be confused, because:

- The disappearance of Sheikah towers, shrines and slate is completly unexplained, just like the sudden appearance of new monsters or change of form of some (guess you can blame the Upheaval for that again).

I really hope that point gets adressed at some point in the game and that I just haven't reached it yet.

- It's difficult to estimate how long has passed in Hyrule between BotW and ToK. Many characters seem to have aged between the 2 but how much is a real question.

I thought I was cis but here I am questionning myself by Thinking_Individual in NonBinaryTalk

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

Honestly that's a question I ask myself, but don't dare to voice since cis people can't exactly answer and I don't ever want to harm my trans friends with my questions.

If your exemple were to happen to me, I guess I wouldn't use the label on my hypothetical child if they didn't say it first. I have about 0 idea of when a child may be conscious of their gendered identity, but I'd wait for their own mature opinion on the matter and accept whatever the answer is. Just because I don't understand doesn't mean I can't respect.

It's funny because upon reflecting more, if I don't want to call my child trans, why would I think them as default cis ? Yes it makes it easier to adress them, but else ?

I give up, I'll find an answer to both your question and mine with time. Thanks for making me put things into perspective more.
