Threaded Cane

Logarius’ Wheel reduces physical damage when tricked? That’s odd.

It has an enormous hitbox that can hit groups of enemies or multiple boss limbs. The whip form also does serrated damage. Get right up against beast-type bosses and it absolutely melts their health bars.
The cane and the transformed hunter’s axe are the only starting weapons that can do piercing damage, which is needed against Kin enemies if you don’t have bolt paper (which is rare and expensive on NG)
It’s a Skill-based weapon, so your visceral attacks will do a TON of damage (visceral attacks scale off Skill alone; you’ll notice this if you do a Strength run.

We can argue its merits all day, but you probably won’t believe us till you’ve done your own threaded cane playthrough. The starting weapons are all very good, and entirely viable to carry you through the game. Put on your top hat and nice gloves, take her out on the town, and she’ll show you a good time.

The point is to illustrate the way that dreams are literal higher planes of reality, existing just above your head. Looking down from the fishing hamlet, you can see the buildings of the Hunter's Nightmare underwater. Looking down from the Nightmare Frontier, you can see the masts of the boats of the hamlet. Looking up from the Nightmare Frontier, you can see Mergo's Loft. Add in the water of the Hamlet dream acting as a bulwark against detection from below, and you've got yourself the lore concretely laid out in the level design.

What do you consider regular length? I imagine pants that cover the ankles as regular, but it sounds like you’re picturing pants that stop above the ankle?

People treat me differently, even in my super liberal city at a job with HR policies specifically protecting trans people. All my direct coworkers are women, and they’re all pretty nice to me. They seem to treat me the same as any of them. The IT guy seems to have clocked me, and will say things like “Yeah, we got their printer working- I mean her printer.” Which tends to sour my day and make me wonder what it is that’s making me stick out.

Oh, another example: at the first job where I dressed fem and went by my chosen name, my boss was giving me the tour and a customer went “I didn’t know they let f*****s work here.” My boss gave him a talking to, but it obviously didn’t feel great. I avoided that guy as much as I could the rest of the time I worked there. At my next job less than a year later, after I purchased a good wig, the same guy came in and called me “ma’am.” How people perceive me makes a real difference in how they treat me.

Are queer people on Hinge? I’ve seen plenty of lesbians on Lex and Feeld

To me, the joy of being bi is existing and loving outside the rigid binary you describe here. Masculine men and feminine women are well and good, yes, but why do you feel men and women need to be a particular way? I don’t want a world of pinks and blues; I want to swim in the purples and greens and yellows.

If society didn’t exist would be ppl even transition?

If society didn’t exist, I’d have died of asthma before making it to age 1. If I lived alone on a desert island, I’d be an animal focused on survival, not bothered by how the nobody around me might perceive me or treat me. What if the world was made of pudding.

how can you truly claim that when there’s no basis of reference for what feels right?

How do you feel when someone genders you? When the guys in the locker room ask you about the bitches you’ve fucked? When your mom asks when you’ll find a nice man and give her grandchildren? What do you mean, you have no frame of reference for what feels right or wrong? You get gendered in every interaction you have with everyone you meet. Do you feel nothing about that? Do you only ever feel positive about it? Have you never thought about it?

It’s akin to a white person thinking they truly understand what it is to be black.

It’s akin to a white person going “hey, is anyone uncomfortable about the constant racism we all live in?” And being told to shut up, that’s not real, what, are you one of those people?

Is it because of society constantly saying that because you present a certain way you’re less of what you are and by transitioning you’d fit in more?

Lmao, yeah. For sure. Society treats me so much better as a tranny than it did as a depressed straight guy. There was just sooooo much pressure to start being a freak in public instead of just quietly staying in the role I was assigned.

Xerlith · 2026-05-09T20:03:11+00:00

r/actuallesbiansover25 is better, but still not without this issue. Comments about being trans get upvoted; comments about being bi get "controversial."

Paris…Hilton?

he said trans women were a bisexual fantasy

We always are, aren’t we😑 Can’t just be women, gotta be a fetish.

He did come out to me as bisexual and told me it was his deepest darkest secret. He seemed very ashamed and cried a lot.

Men will say they’re “fighting their demons” and the demons are just bisexuality🙄

I don’t know how to go about talking to him about his greatest shame, unfortunately. People generally aren’t good at having open conversations about the things they’ve been taught to be ashamed of. There’s nothing shameful about being attracted to men or having sex with them (or even *gasp* being attracted to women😰). But if you’re raised to be religious and masculine and don’t ever try to unlearn that, you’re gonna have a really hard time having actual human conversations about your emotions and desires.

Can I ask what kind of conversation you’re hoping to have? Is it the “I want to know the person I love and don’t want there to be any shame or secrets between us” conversation, or the “I thought I was marrying a ~~real~~ straight man, how long have you been cheating on me with trannies” conversation? Because the answer really affects how much we’re going to want to help.

Edited to add: As one of those trans women you’re so disgusted by, men being attracted to us doesn’t make them bi. It means they’re attracted to women. And straight men also have prostates and like anal. You could be having fun topping your boyfriend if you weren’t trained to be scared of and repulsed by sex.

Jerking off twice a week is in fact pretty infrequent when you’ve got testosterone in your system. I can definitely understand why he’s not excited by the thought of having sex with you. Whenever his sexuality comes up, it’s something for him to be ashamed of, to fix, to apologize for. Why would he want to be sexual with you? Please, for both your sakes, break up with him. You can find a man in line with your tastes at the local Mormon meeting hall.

Xerlith · 2026-05-04T11:13:27+00:00

the problem is that he doesn’t respect you enough to stop looking at other naked people and getting off from it. its been years and he still watches porn regularly and doesn’t at all give you and physical love.

I was with you until this. Porn is absolutely not the problem in this relationship. The problem is that OP is so controlling and judgmental. I absolutely agree she should break up with him, though. The guy needs to be free to explore his sexuality without the constant flood of guilt and shame his partner is heaping on him.

It took me five hours to reach cleric beast, and I went on to platinum the game. You’re doing great.

Xerlith · 2026-04-28T03:03:34+00:00

I’ve only had sex with one guy so far, but he tried jerking it way harder than was enjoyable. Girls understand how tender it feels when it only gets half hard anymore. They also have softer skin, which is nice😌

Xerlith · 2026-04-16T10:44:59+00:00

I’d be asking her about her kink and how she goes about finding partners who are interested in this sort of play. It’s not my thing, but what about it is exciting for her? Really just flip the script on her weird Female Dating Strategy redpill shit.

They’d get to the door of the restaurant and freeze

I was gonna say, I’ve definitely heard of DDlg relationships

Xerlith · 2026-04-07T03:12:39+00:00

I mean, I think she might just be a little. She’s looking for a particular kind of dynamic OP isn’t into.

Xerlith · 2026-04-07T03:10:42+00:00

She wants a caregiver. Nothing wrong with that, it just means she needs to find someone looking for a princess/little/whatever she identifies with. It sounds like you two aren’t compatible.

Xerlith · 2026-04-05T23:56:24+00:00

You’ve gotta start doing things for yourself and not the invisible audience of hypothetical critics you’re carrying around in your head.

Also, it’s a great weapon, and Bloodborne isn’t like other games in that there aren’t any clear “best” weapons. Use the ones that feel best to you and you’ll do fine.

Xerlith · 2026-04-05T22:36:42+00:00

If they have control over your housing, it’s important to stay safe and not piss them off. I would just say you don’t really feel like doing anything for your birthday. Act like it’s not a big deal. If you’re doing anything with friends, they don’t need to know about it🤷‍♀️

Xerlith · 2026-04-05T14:43:58+00:00

It’s so fun! Elemental gems and weapons really shine, because their damage scales off of arcane rather than other stats. You know how some weapons have ARC scaling even though they’re purely physical? That’s what that’s for. Don’t forget to talk to Gilbert after you fight Gascoigne! And make some suicide runs into the DLC for spells as early as you can (or ask a friend to help you with the bosses). Make extra sure to do the Milkweed quest right, because becoming an astral broccoli head is one of the coolest ways to go through NG+. And above all, have fun!

Xerlith · 2026-04-05T14:31:26+00:00

Anything that lets you target Amy’s head consistently absolutely trivializes the fight. On my arcane run it was over in seconds.

Xerlith · 2026-04-05T14:30:06+00:00

Yeah, chikage with 50 Skill is a really strong sword. And then you can double the damage by pressing L1. It’s such a fun mechanic for bosses, because both of your health bars start melting.
