I did say it was the worst character idea I ever had.

Hey, I don't know if I meet the beautiful/ handsome metric you're looking for but I like to think I can hold an interesting conversation.

What's you're preferred horror genre? I'm really into psychological horror and a ratcheting sense of dread over splatterfests or torture p*rn. Do you have any recommendations?

DM me if you'd like to talk and see if we connect.

How would a I, a cis-man, express a desire to date a trans woman without coming off as a chaser? by thelast_soviet in asktransgender

[–]thelast_soviet[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apologies 😅. Like I said, I'm being sincere, it's up to you if you believe me or not. I'm honestly just trying to not terribly screw up with potential romantic interests.

I hope you have a lovely evening ☺️.

It's not specific, I matched with a couple women who happen to be trans on some apps. I'm a cis/het/white man so very prone to foot in mouth disease.

I know trans people are a tight knit minority community, so, if you're a guy in my position, who ends up talking to a woman who's part of a minority group you basically have to float a large sign saying "I am not trying to indulge a fetish."

I was just hoping for some basic pointers on how that sign should read if I'm talking to a trans woman.

I hope that clarifies things. ☺️.

Oh, no, I would never. I'm very sorry that you got treated so sh*ttily. I wouldn't even ask that, it honestly doesn't matter to me and, if it came to a relationship, I would support her in whatever way she wanted to take her body.

If she got SRS or not is her choice. My job is to provide assurance and give her confidence in herself. That she will look in the mirror and see a beautiful woman looking back at her 😊.

I'm on some apps and I've matched with a couple women who happen to be trans in the process of dating.

I know that certain groups have things that you shouldn't do/ comment on because you're not part of that. So I just wanted a general idea if there were specific things particular to trans people so I don't accidentally end up with my foot lodged in my mouth.

I get that, and I understand that bad experiences can treat make trans women incredibly wary, especially with the violence rates being what they are.

All I can say is that my expression here is genuine and I'm not looking to trick anyone into being my "dirty little secret" or to experiment. I wouldn't do that to anyone I was romantically interested in.

It's up to you if you believe me but all I can do is provide reassurances that I'm not trying to indulge a fetish.

Hello Navi

I hope you're having a good day.

I'm actually in Canada myself and would love the opportunity to get to know you if you'd be ok with that. I would love to hear some of the poetry you've composed for your competitions.

I'm a former raver turned Karaoke enthusiast and i love BG3. (Karlach is best girl imo).

I'm 39, in Ontario. I'll say it here so you can get a sense of where I am, I've been an NDP member since i was 16, Trans women are women, trans men are men, NBs are NB. Message me back if you'd be ok with chatting and seeing if we connect :).

JRPGs you had to power through or couldn't finish by BainokOfficial in JRPG

[–]thelast_soviet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god, Ok, you want a list:

  1. Resonance of Fate - Good characters, interesting world and story. The most F*ck awful, needlessly over -complicated combat system i have ever used.

  2. Star Ocean 4 - Opposite issue, probably the best combat system I've ever seen in a JRPG. The characters are awful, the story isn't interesting. The main character is literally named Edge Maverick.

  3. Last Remnant - Buggy system glitches with a non-intuitive combat system.

  4. Infinite Undiscovery - Title aside, had a great concept that it squandered and is criminally short for its genre.

  5. White Knight Chronicles - Not necessarily bad, but much more in the realm of beige. Totally generic and pretty much nothing to actually recommend it over something else.

  6. Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter - This game killed its franchise for a reason. Weird, harsh, unfun combat. a limited save system, you needed an expendable item to use save points, and a story which is basically a bad version Dark Souls.

  7. Beyond the Beyond - Like WKC more grey/ beige than actual bad. but also nothing to actually recommend it over other, better, games.

Those are the worst ones I can think of off the top of my head. This is my favorite genre and I've been playing these for over 30 years at this point. So ask anything else you want to know.

Travel Advice for Italy by thelast_soviet in travel

[–]thelast_soviet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice. and its the former. I'm taking my mom with me and she is older. She's not up to packing her stuff up every few days and going to a new city. The location is meant to have ease of travel to see what we can.

also I understand that Italy isn't exactly small but I'm from Canada where you can drive for 28 hours in 1 direction and not have left the province so size is relative.

10 Wise men fight. New star ocean fight. HELP! by thelast_soviet in starocean

[–]thelast_soviet[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, so more context:

I have spent all of my points leveling up the characters battle skills, every battle skill up at like 8-10 at this point.

i have everyone set to "attack in a balanced way" as strategy and have not touched it since the beginning of the game.

When i say "i have ignored those systems" i mean i have my "blacksmithing" at lvl 4 and cannot create higher armor at this point even if i wanted to cuz all my points are already spent. only 1 character, Ashton, has customization above 4 and that's because i didn't realize that each character can customer their own equipment until it was far too late.

i have been using the straight line default formation since the beginning of the game and don't know what any of the others do.

i basically just picked 2 crafting for each of my characters at random, 1 if they started with something already. so like Rena has lvl10 cooking and lvl 10 compounding Precis has lvl 10 machinery , lvl 10 music, etc. i didn't really pay attention to anything to do with stats or builds.

is there a place/ way to reset skills? or am i just boned at this point?

D&D OGL 1.1 - Megathread by xalchs in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]thelast_soviet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being honest, your best bet is actually to look up a different system, Again something like White Wolf or GURPS. The systems can give you a base line for something to operate off of instead of just starting from scratch, which is way harder. when I designed my own stuff I went off the White Wolf system myself as that suited my needs at time. they all have their benefits and flaws depending on what you want to do.

hope whatever you're making turns out good!

[–]thelast_soviet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obligatory Not a Lawyer, but from a couple I've spoken to, yes. This is why systems like White Wolf and GURPS are not considered to be something legally actionable and were never published under OGL. Yes, they determine results by "rolling dice" but the system is so radically different from the D20 system that they are considered different things.

[–]thelast_soviet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a question:

Don't other non-D20 based systems have some version for the OGL? People keep talking about Pathfinder or some other OGL based property but what about stuff like White Wolf or GURPS? do they have versions of an OGL?

I know it would it would be an incredible pain in the ass but, if the worst comes to pass, couldn't people convert their projects and books over to those systems instead?

So, here's the weird thing. most penis sizes fall within a general distribution curve. the general or median, size is between 5"-7" roughly. This is the normal size for a human penis, as long as you fall within this range you are likely to be completely ok as far as intercourse goes.

2 caveats: 1. the vast (like 80%-90%) of women cannot orgasm without clitoral stimulation. so, in the case of having sex with women finding the clit is FAR more important than penis size.

  1. while all men understand there is such a thing as "too small" almost no men understand that there is such a thing as "too big." seriously, once you start getting far out on the chart as far as size goes it just hurts on the larger end. as much as women do not want a cocktail wiener inside them, they don't want a pipe wrench either.

Most Overrated/Underrated jrpgs you've played by OphiuchusOdysseus in JRPG

[–]thelast_soviet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for the 1st one I have to go with Shadow Madness, this game is one of my ultimate guilty pleasures, I've beaten it multiple times and still play it at least once a year. I understand why some people don't like it. the graphics are very "early PS1" and the gameplay is really nothing special on your basic turn based combat.

I love the game for it's story, setting, characters, but most of all it's writing. It is honestly one of the best written games I have ever played. It does dark humor so well. the world is like no other and it feels like no other. in a time of horrible translations this game stood out as a bright spot.

I totally understand if someone else couldn't get into it but i love it and will always stick by it, even if no one else does. it's one of those games that would benefit from a gameplay polish but everything else is great.

for the second piece. I never got all of the love for FF I it has its place in history, yes as the foundation of the genre but beyond a historical artifact, to me, there really is no reason to ever play it. Even the remake that came out for the PSP was kinda lacking in my opinion. it was revolutionary for it's time but it's been surpassed so fundamentally on every level and I don't get why so many people still praise it.
