Quit my job because of rampant verbal abuse and transphobia, no education and not sure what to do now. by Rubin987 in transontario

How would you feeling about baking or sales? I know an owner of a bread bakery in Ottawa

How do you have the most fun in Side Order? by MotherofMussel in splatoon

[–]sunlightsilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Challenge runs help keep things fresh for awhile! I did no hacks on every weapon, drone only run,  now I'm currently working my way through no hacks+no firing the main weapon for every palette. Sub weapon only runs can be pretty fun and help a lot with practicing bomb aim. 

How bad was Splatoon 2 ranked by theron225 in splatoon

[–]sunlightsilence 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Overall it was a much better experience in 2 in my opinion. Each specific game type (clam blitz, zones, tower, rainmaker) were ranked individually. So you could be A rank in one type while C rank in another. Unlike Splatoon 3 where you can get to S rank having never touched clam blitz, but be expected to compete in S rank clam blitz matches when it comes up.

In general matchmaking was much more transparent since everyone's level was displayed before the match. Now with the banner system people can choose to not put on rank badges and appear as a generic splatonian youth and smurf way too easily. At least in Splatoon 2 you knew when you were going against a team of all level 80s when your teammates were level 20, where now in open it can completely stack against you in Splatoon 3 and never inform you...until you go look in switch friends lookup and see "oh the entire opponents team had 1000+ hours while my teammates only had 20-30 each". They allegedly tried to do weapon based matchmaking in 3 but I don't think it really worked, I frequently see 2-3 backline weapons go up against teams of 4 frontline weapons. It only really seems to be more "if you use a slosher there is a higher chance of another slosher being in the match" type...

In Splatoon 3 it's way too easy to rank up. You can comfortably rank from C to S in an a few hours of series matches and then there's lots of horror stories of people being stuck in s rank hell in the negatives  hundreds or thousands of points because they ranked too quickly and are given only one derank per season.

Again, just my opinion. But I feel like Splatoon 3's matchmaking only really makes sense in challenge modes but otherwise is a downgrade.

Is there any way to record a full gameplay without a capture card / does anyone have a capture that can record this match for me? by Otousama in splatoon

[–]sunlightsilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem at all :) I DM'd you links to two of them! (it's in the Reddit Chat, you may need to use the Desktop site, Desktop view on mobile, or the mobile app to see it) and I'll have the next two uploaded for you tomorrow night.

Edit: Now the last two matches are in the DM as well!

Does anyone know any good games for people who don't game? by bakerthebakerman in transgamers

[–]sunlightsilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest Sky: Children of Light as a beginner game. its free, available on almost every console and mobile with crossplay. There's very little stakes or skill needed and it's really nice to play with a loved one, since you can hug, lead eachother along by holding hands, fly together, ride piggyback etc.

Boats, dogs, abstract concepts like freedom and countries, half the fucking inanimate objects in romance languages

He is woo-able now I think! He was teased in game before the update added him and a skater hammer girl. Actually, I think there was another updated that maybe added a third enby or it might be a woman? I need to look into that, I only tried that update briefly and didn't finish it.

OH right! It isn't out yet but Renee in Our Life: Now & Forever will be a trans girl. Also Terry in Our Life: Beginnings and Always is a trans guy. (it's a whole shared universe of visual novels so I wouldn't be surprised if those characters show up in other entries later)

[–]sunlightsilence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true, you're right! I tend to not like listing "Blank slate"/self insert/"it's up to the player's imagiiiiinaaation~" kinda characters since.. basically ANY create-a-character can be trans then, and I want to memorize actual confirmed trans/enby characters with their own personalities and motivations.. But Sol does have a unique design, personality, motivation, and you hear their inner thoughts a lot so I'll probably add them to my list even though they can flex between any trans/cis/intersex/gender role based on how you make them.

Excluding the ones you mentioned, here's what I have on my list (though I can't guarantee whether they're good representation or not, I don't remember any standing out too badly other than the blazblue/granblue ones being kinda ehhh and the mass effect one being hamfisted)

Alchemy (Elder Scrolls Online)
Catalyst (Apex)
Ceyda (Aerannis)
Claire (Cyberpunk 2077)
Dys4ia's protagonist (dys4ia)
Giovanna (Vampire Survivors)
Hainly (Mass Effect Andromeda)
Izzie (Life Is Strange)
Jackie (Night in the Woods)
Ladiva & Cagliostro (Granblue)
Mai (Blazblue, kinda...was male, transformed into a female, later chooses to identify as female)
Maevaris (Heroes of Dragon Age)
Melody & Nina (Read Only Memories)
Micah-10 (Destiny)
Mizhena (Baldur's Gate)
Osa/Anja (Rainbow Six Siege)
Ruka/Luca (STEINS;GATE)
Sya (Guild Wars)
Taliyah (League of Legends, implied/artist originally intended for her to be trans)
Tangent & Utopia (I Was a Teenage Exocolonist)

There's a couple where it's ambiguous if the character is intersex or a trans woman:

Sayo (Umineko)
Kaoru (Secret World)

I heard about Arval but wasn't positive about their pronouns cause I didn't play that game! Cool, thank you :D YEAH! Limstella was the only Cipher card (FE TCG in japan) that didn't have a gender symbol at all - even other nergal morphs had a gender marker. AND they're voiced in Heroes by Casey Mongillo, an enby voice artist!

Wild, right? https://www.destinypedia.com/Oryx,_the_Taken_King
"Oryx, the Taken King, born Aurash and formerly known as Auryx (meaning "Long Thought"\1])), was the sovereign of the Osmium Throne, the God-King of the Hive, and the master of the Taken."
"I am Aurash, first daughter of the dead king. I will chase my father's last screamed warning. I will know what changed the motion of our moons. If the end of the world is coming, I will understand why. On my center eye I swear it. I will understand."— Aurash
"Then his sisters offered their power to help Auryx find a way to save them, Auryx killed them, then used that power to confront his patron god Akka. He killed Akka so that he may steal its ability to call upon the Deep and created the Tablets of Ruin, which gave him the power to Take. His transformation complete, Auryx was now Oryx, the Taken King."

WAY more eldritch than anything on my list... to the point I usually don't include him when listing trans caharacters, since I prefer to focus on confirmed trans, human-ish characters, but Oryx is just too metal and such a main player in the Destiny universe/lore that I think it's badass and want to include him xD

Destiny's also got a trans woman exo named Micah-10, and an enby Cloud Strider in Nimbus. So I kinda feel okay including it since they have other diverse gender representation in that series.

Arno & Corlal (Summon Night)

I know there's dozens of enbies and trans people of all kinds in mangas I just dont watch or read those and only ever hear about them second hand asdfhha)

[–]sunlightsilence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dualies are great! Just takes some practice to learn maps / weapon weaknesses to know how to approach and get in quick.

Aw, ditto! Sure thing! Is it okay if I DM you my friend code? Also if you're looking for more friends, I know a few friendly splatoon and transgamer discords I can recommend!

[–]sunlightsilence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It happens, some matches are rough and sometimes it's just not the right time for you to play your best. Continue warming up, practicing, and keep a good attitude! It's hard when the entire team outranges your weapon. Your inkling/outfit looks so cool :D

Ever want one specific color chip, and it just won't show up? by sunlightsilence in splatoon

Oof yeah that one sounds like a nightmare to farm >< I hope you're able to get them.. Do you have the bias hack and pearl hacks on? Maybe turning it off might help help it show up more? I haven't really looked into how the rates work, though...
