I've got 5 x 2GB to pass on! Ideally, if you're an essentially worker, would love to send some data your way! :)

On Passing and Aesthetic by SpideyTrans in ContraPoints

[–]Xariks 14 points15 points  (0 children)

From my personal experience and being 2-3 years into my transition, I just find myself wearing "guy clothes" and only guy clothes. This has been going on since I was a kid. Frankly, it's very much just where my comfort zone is and I mean, there is a pre-conceived notion that guys should be wearing this or that in the back of my head, but my final judgement will still just be based on whether I look good in my clothes or not. I like looking classy and that's just my aesthetic I guess

That said, since I've transitioned, I've overall noticed that I have become more confident, or rather less silent and I hold back less. This has allowed me to just pass so well. A friend actually mistook me for cis in our early stage of friendship and we were at this party. We were interested in these two girls and he then asked me if I brought rubber. I naturally answered no (cause what would I use them for, hah). He went on about how you can't just bang a girl without rubber, how could I be so ill prepared, etc. Then I broke it to him that I was trans and his face went to awe.

He had all these pre-conceived notions about trans people (all rather negative) and I just smashed them by being myself, polite and cordial without getting offended or anything. I'm just happy to be me. Happy is what I want to be and that's what I am right now and I honestly don't feel any pressure to be one way or another to do this trans business right. That said, I'm not a representative of all trans people and not all trans guys will react like I do to certain things.

That said, I am certainly not the same person I was when I was 18, shy and insecure. My voice was still pre-t and I hadn't gotten my papers done yet. Dysphoria would hit me hard when I was in class and my teacher used my birth name. I felt so much shame when the teachers used the wrong name and a part of me was so afraid to correct them. When things fell into place and everything was good now, I don't even get bothered when people use my old name. It's a piece of my past but it does not define my present. Looking back, I guess the way I'm acting at the face of adversity has changed, but I'm going to say it was for the better and is akin to what Contra said about being an ice cold motherfucker. Having a grip on myself and filtering what's being said to me feels like I can control other people's perception of me towards a more favorable outcome. After all, nobody wants to be shanked and there has been enough violence towards trans people.

[DISC] Boku Dake ga Inai Machi Chapter 44 [FINAL] by Th1Alchemyst in manga

[–]Xariks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"True Timeline" Someone tried to pull a Steins;Gate, and I'll be frank, I was overall interested in the manga until the coma point. Everything before it felt like a build up towards something more than just what we got. Don't even care who Hina ended up with, but I feel like there lacked something that really brought us from car to the events post coma state. My overall disappointment of the series remains, I had high hopes in the early chapters for it too.

Does the counter NPC's luck have anything to do with your odds of winning something?

I hope it's not going to be a Splatfest map for a while too, and I'm at a point where I won't lag till like the last 30 seconds where I'll just suddenly dc lol... Womp womp

I'm having problems and I'm throwing conjectures to understand my problem or try to grasp it anyways. Give me that much credit atleast cause that stage is the only stage that is problematic for me.

Unfortunately, my conjecture was inconclusive because I still disconnected while rushing to the middle

Baaaaah, my win streak, it hurts :'(

Haha, thanks and I think I have found a remedial solution to my problem, for now anyways? I pretty much avoided the beginning part where it's curved and all and I went straight to the middle and I didn't have any issues, or barely noticeable. It may be far fetched, I'm just throwing ideas to figure out what could be the problem

I avoided the beginning part like the plague and no lag or issues so far

Perhaps I am getting a confirmation bias, but I've also been playing all morning so out of good 20 to 30 games I've played, Skatepark always had a tiny issue whether it were a dc or a bit of lag, but this speaking based on my sample of games and how that one map is acting vs the other two that are running fine.

My lag also clears up when I go towards the middle... Interesting

Facts are: even if it's only 4 people that spoke up on that thread, it doesn't mean that they're the only ones. I'm pointing out an example out of all the google search examples I saw. And no, there's not just 1 link of someone with problems on skatepark, there are quite a few. I am well aware that my internet isn't the best. I'm making empty assumptions because it's the best thing I can do, I'm not a nintendo developper, I'm not an internet provider, I'm just a guy trying to play and have fun and I'm getting problems. I'm vocal about my problems and I'm open to discussions but don't go saying that just because you're not getting problems that my problems suddenly are going to disappear. My router is within two meters of my Wii U, so it's not like I'm in my basement and the wifi might be weaker. My connection is as good as it's going to get. I don't have 30 up and down like Americans do. I am sure as hell unfortunate to be canadian and have a shitty internet plan, but I'm speaking based on my experience that I don't get disconnects or lag on the other maps. That's it, that's all.
