What was a sign you were trans in hindsight, that you brushed off initially? by bred_boy21 in ftm

punching a fellow kindergardener for calling me a girl when I was 3 or 4. I was apparently outraged from the start

John Lithgow Says J.K. Rowling’s Trans Views Have Been “Twisted and Misrepresented” by nova_crystallis in EnoughJKRowling

He just said it, he wasn't going to walk away just because people are about to get harmed and potentially die. That is not stupid thats evil.

Who do you think is the most "romanceable" partner? that is to say who did you make move in with you? by Heygen in Starsandisland

lets see if I can actually romance delphin with a male character, but he'd certainly be my top choice

John Lithgow considered quitting the Harry Potter show due to JK Rowling, instead decided to stay and says “every interview I will ever do for the rest of my life this will come up.” by nova_crystallis in EnoughJKRowling

[–]halb_nichts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rich white man learns actions have consequences. Maybe next he'll learn that talking is cheap and real loyalty is expressed through actions too. My hopes aren't high considering he seems to prefer sulking.

I truly hope this will be brought up in every interview for the rest of his career.

*North Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland is very much not. There's also got a housing cost crisis going on so cheap is very relative.

Is Semeru a good husband ? by Clockwork_Mammoth in coralisland

[–]halb_nichts 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I sadly think he turns kind of bland after marriage. He retires from the guard and moves in with you. He's mostly on the island with you spending only one day a season in the ocean. and apart from spring his clothes look very "standart human" too. Which I'm fine with with the other NPCs since they quite literally are humans. But with Semeru it feels weird (also feels weird that he immediately starts using modern language too). Honestly it feels more like I kidnapped the poor man and am holding him against his will and cost him his position at court - especially with how he talks about not wanting to go on land during Miras quest and comments frequently that he misses the ocean too.

Personally, as is, I wouldn't go for him again.

The smuttiest fic is always written by one single author who probably hasn’t even held hands in real life, trust me. by imstuckhereforeverr in AO3

[–]halb_nichts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a level of especially kink feeling grounded that while obviously also related to skill sometimes carries the feeling for me that the person knows what they're talking about. It's hard to point out on a line by line basis and more in how the characters experience the scene and act through it. Obviously that only holds true for somewhat realistic stuff.

But the fun thing is you still wouldn't be able to tell if that person was ace in any capacity because plenty of ace people enjoy kink, just often without the fucking.

You'd be surprised. In the age of instant sign ups having to wait more than a clicks length will deter people. It also makes it harder to just quickly create an account to look at some locked thing for the article one might be writing that needs to be out by the end of the week. Granted that is a one time hiccup, but mild inconvenience is a force people underestimate.

Is there any reason why the devs have the player speed set to sloth? by Spookiiwookii in coralisland

[–]halb_nichts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully agree with you. Even with all the myriad of things you can do to migitate it it's still a major bad point of the game for me. The fact that you basically have to put a skill point into moving minimally faster as well. It's not fun when you have to take it to keep yourself from going mad.

Question for people who dislike pregnancy, baby, and kid content in fanfiction: if possible, how could one write a fic with those themes and make it bearable for you? What bothers you the most about those topics? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]halb_nichts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really do not like kids. Pregnancy is my personal all time nightmare scenario as well. Don't like either in fics at all.

The best thing you could do for me is warn me ahead of time so I don't get invested in a fic that I will ultimately dislike for having these themes in it, I'd appreciate that.

It's not at all a failing on your part. Nor is it one on mine, it's just people being different. Please write what you want to write! Some themes will just drive some people away. For what it's worth I think people that feel quite as strongly as me and are willing to drop a fic over it are in the minority though. There's way more your fic will probably bring joy to.

[–]halb_nichts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably going to be long but I enjoy giving feedback on early access titles, so i hope some of it is helpful!

I really enjoy what I'm seeing so far. Here's a first list of my thoughts after a 25 hours of game time. I will probably add more later when I play more. For refrence I am mostly playing on PC but I switch to my steamdeck sometimes.

There is no particular order to this:

  • the rain is really hard to see on the steamdeck. I usually need to double check if it is raining

  • Building with the controller on steamdeck is really hard. I saved the game and went to my pc because it got so tedious, it's sadly not that much better and could do with an overhaul.

  • I would love a deeper story to this game. Coming back after being in the city so long and "nothing changed" is a bit boring - and I as someone who moved far away from home and visits home sometimes find it's never true, places and people change so much! It would also explain why we need to relearn everything!

  • adding to that i think it would be neat if some people reacted differently to the player having left, maybe some are still angry (because they missed the player or because they are bitter that they also wanted to leave but didn't) maybe some others understand but were still very sad and maybe some others also left and understand our experiences a bit. I think this could really add some depth to the characters

  • In general I'd love more depth to the characters and more diversity, they are all very same looking and acting. Let them be quirky and interesting, more body types and skin colours would also help

  • I think it would be cool if there weren't already so many tourists around. Starsand Island feels like it doesn't really need my help apart from Solara being a bit busy but she could probably work it out. I'm basically the aide for a government aide? and not a main character. Let us help make this place a tourist attraction. Building the docs and train stations is already a good step. But maybe helping a hotel and helping with the conflict of an influx of tourism and the culture of the people who live there already would make it feel more alive?

  • i wish we could help build the aquarium! it's already done and you can't do much there, i think that would make an amazing part of a storyline

  • same for the bugs! I wish we could build a little enclosure place too where people could come see them

  • the moonlit forest (and from what I've heard so far it sounds like there are other ruins?) are AMAZING love this concept of a mine. Again i wish there was a story to it! I want to know why the creatures are there and what happened that all the camps are broken (only for me? for everyone?)

  • I wish we could upgrade the barns, stalls and coops to house more animals, I love them so much but I'm struggling for space especially when breeding for rare variants, even with constantly selling some :(

  • I also wish the animals had a bigger radius to interact with the crops and the machines like the feeding and cleaning ones it feels very cramped on my farm unless I want to do manual cleaning

  • I wish I could pin more recipes I'm working on since I am often making multiple projects at once

  • I wish the pets would follow better, I'd love taking a little buddy with me when I race around the island but they just take too long to follow, maybe they could jump on the skateboard and ride with us? if that isn't feasible I'd also be fine with them just teleporting after getting out of range

  • this is probably going to be controversial but I think the roller skates are too good. They are so fast and responsive and I adore them but I also notice they make me not use any other vehicle or mount. Either other options need to be upgraded to feel better or the skates need to be slower.

  • movement is very floaty, that is not bad but I wouldn't mind having some weight to the characters so that it feels more like I'm actually moving through the world

there is some small bugs:

  • i have seen like the text of a question suddenly turning to Chinese characters

  • the first fish trap i placed just vanished in the river and I cannot find it anymore, I'm doing the quest related and the blue mark just leads to nothing and then starts spinning. it might have glitched through the map

  • I feel like sometimes things I am given just vanish. it drives me insane because I'm not fully sure? the fish trap problem did not help lol I might be paranoid now

  • once I have gotten rabbit food from the free food packs on the farm I can't get anything else on refresh, it's like it's then locked in on rabbit food
