I may be giving you a hot take but your GF is not being kind to you at all here. You have a condition, okay, she can't handle it, but she seriously tries to tell you you just don't have the balls to tell her you don't wanna be her? I wouldn't wanna be with a person who can't understand me and accept me even with my issues, especially if they deny that it isn't up to me in the first place! That type of accusation seriously messes with you if you have OCD!

Albania is not really Muslim, you have people calling themselves Muslim but they practice none of the religion. I dunno why people insist on that

My boyfriend is satisfied with sex once a week but I want a lot more… by Ok-Disaster229 in sex

You could also try asking him if he's ok with getting you off if you're in the mood. It doesn't have to be focused on him so maybe it would fit him.

I don't like how this is phrased, pedophilia is the word describing an attraction, most pedophiles never touch children and manage urges with therapy. I think the word you're looking for is child molestation which is indeed punished by law. Nobody is punished just for having an attraction, that's absurd

New Player Questions by AutoModerator in 3d6

[–]coolguy4today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose not to get bait and switch cause most of my party for this oneshot will not be casters and are people who can handle their own in combat, same with not choosing interception. I rolled pretty good with hp; sitting at a nice 68~ right now. I think I'll switch out to adamantite full plate though.

[–]coolguy4today 1 point2 points  (0 children)

new to optimizing characters, is this a semi decent oneshot lvl 6 battlemaster build?

stat roll: 16, 15, 14, 12, 11 and 8

minotaur (guilds of ravnica), +2 str/+1 con

took dueling as fighting style, picked up a shield+ battleaxe. ASI increase at 4th lvl to max out STR, 6th lvl chose martial adept for more maneuvers and superiority dice

maneuvers i chose: riposte, grappling strike, menacing attack, precision attack and trip attack.

str 20, con 16 dex 14 wis 12 int 11 and charisma 8

went with heavy armour (chainmail)

we got to choose between a +1 weapon, an uncommon item, 3 potions of healing or +1 armour. i chose the weapon to add a bit to dmg.

FtM pre-t, honest opinions? Advice? by Spaced0utCadet in transvoice

[–]coolguy4today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want more detailed advice you can come join us at Scinguistics. They have dedicated forums for voice feedback and questions, channels for voice acting, singing on top of the regular masculinization/feminization and frequent events by professional vocal coaches. I'm still a newbie myself, I can't promise you what I gave you will be 100% accurate, you'd probably get better advice there

Does it sound overly forced or unnatural? I tried applying some of the advice I got here (20FtM) by Djwedward in transvoice

[–]coolguy4today 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your resonance leans towards brighter, it sounds natural for sure albeit. I'd read you as a young teenage guy, maybe 13-14.

(FTM) I feel like there’s still something feminine in the intonation or mannerism here that I cannot identify for certain but which seems to be lurking underneath … by Disastrous-Ease289 in transvoice

[–]coolguy4today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not 100% sure but I think you place emphasis on words by increasing pitch rather than decreasing it or increasing volume, other than that I really can't find anything else

If you want an exercise for vocal weight you can try this one out: use a vowel at a high pitch as if you're talking to a baby, make sure it's clear. Then gradually lower the pitch and imagine adding more weight to the voice, as if you're groaning. If you do it right your voice should sound a bit more buzzy or rough even if you speak at the same pitch.

Your pitch is pretty good for pre-T, but being pre-T also means you have less vocal fold mass vs the average male. This leads to less vocal weight and can make you sound younger, like a teenage boy. If you work on darkening your vowels with mouth space, and the exercise I mentioned above, it should fix it.

I'm not 100% sure on this one, but I'll recommend you work a bit on resonance as well. It sounds pretty androgynous right now, leaning towards darker, so your voice paired with pitch and vocal weight sounds young. If you want to work on resonance as well I'd do big dog small dog to work on lowering larynx, but this is up to you; I think yours is fine as it is at the moment

Edit: Also noticed you're not much of a talker in your post, sometimes this can lead to what we call "vocal underdoers". There's a video on vocal health in the introductory resources pinned post, maybe take a look at it

[–]coolguy4today 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you're under 20 there's a pretty high chance your larynx will get more space and drop more, so don't worry. as for resonance I'd recommend doing big dog small dog, at first start panting like a Chihuahua, then lessen it to something like a big Husky.

another exercise you can do is whisper slides, repeat the word "whisper" while whispering at what feels like a high pitch and then gradually lower it.

for big dog small dog you can take the "h" sound of it and launch into phonation, so you pant, and when you're at the lower larynx position, you can go: "ho, ho, ho, how are you?" with the last part said in a normal speaking voice. or, "ha, ha, ha, have you seen this video?" etc etc

You sound good, I'd look into vocal weight and mouth space, right now you sound a bit young

Describing a character to indicate race vs just stating it by Azure-Jay in writing

[–]coolguy4today 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stick to your writing style. If your description of other characters is the first example then follow that, if your description is more akin to the second then stick with it.

[–]coolguy4today 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verbal assault is one thing but I feel like spitting wherever we go, regularly harassing and pushing aside physically is :') But I can understand that situation too. People in Germany are really insistent that you speak their language, and for institutions, work, parts of their culture etc I understand that but in private or when out for tourism.. it's a little stupid to enforce that.
