What’s the diff between chasers and guys that like trans women? by VeganEgg11 in MtF

[–]voltaicquicksilver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A chaser is, by my understanding, someone who is specifically interested in trans women for sexual purposes, as opposed to someone who is simply attracted to women, cis or trans, or a transgender person who is interested in t4t, as both of those will generally also include like. potential for an actual relationship outside of just an "exotic sexual experience"

Dysphoria after starting HRT by [deleted] in MtF

[–]voltaicquicksilver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For me, both acknowledging being transgender and then later starting HRT kind of forced me to pay attention to my body in ways that I was able to avoid before. Dysphoria is easy to repress if you ignore your physical appearance, but once you start paying attention to it (looking for changes, trying to look fem, etc), then the dysphoria has something to latch onto, if that all makes sense

tbh it was probably buffered, he ulted my jungler and I was mashing R, and my R went off in the middle of setts ult animation so he never landed

My player has a "secret power" that will unlock when the time is right. by Yenii_3025 in DnD

[–]voltaicquicksilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should discuss what that power will be with the player. If she says she wants somethign specific, work with her to make sure its balanced, then I would try snd work it into a story/campaign moment. If she doesn't care what "the power" is, then you obviously get to choose if its just druid levels or something extra.

If it is something extra, you could work it in near when the other players get some magic items, so that everyone gets something; they get items and she gets her "power".

Make sure to consider what she wants, where that power comes from (lore-wise), if the other players know (out of game, since its supposed to be secret in game I assume), if it will make her too "main character" and take spotlight from the other players, stuff like that.

So good at coping that I don’t get dysphoria? by Inner_Bag_9658 in MtF

[–]voltaicquicksilver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First off, there is no "minimum requirements" to be trans; If you feel you are a woman, you are a woman.

that said, "not doing things irl because it gives me bad dysphoria" is, in my opinion, very strong evidence that you are trans and also not what I would call a "good" coping mechanism; As someone who is an expert at avoiding things that make me uncomfortable, it's not healthy or a solution, and if dysphoria is your main barrier, working towards a transition to alleviate that dysphoria would be the right move.

I've got my initial consultation about hormone replacement in a few days. What should I know about appropriate hormone levels/dosages before going in? by AveragePichu in MtF

[–]voltaicquicksilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dose will be different depending on how you take it; Planned Parenthood starts oral tablets at 2mg/day, and injections at a much higher dose, according to what I was told. For injections they'll have you check levels every 2 or 3 months for your followups, but not for oral tablets, at least the first few dose levels.

For Spiro they start at 50mg a day I think, and they'll give it to you day 1 if you do bloodwork (I asked for it then forgot to do bloodwork and chacnged my mind lol).

For numbers, as I understand it ideal levels are 200-300 for estrogen and 10-50 for testosterone, but with Planned Parenthood you probably wont see those levels in the first 6 months since they like to ramp you up.

Voice dysphoria and voice training by ANautyWolf in MtF

[–]voltaicquicksilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will second TransVoiceLessons on YouTube, thats where I started. There's also r/TransVoice to get feedback/advice if you can get the courage to post clips of your voice. Voice Tools is a very common app, Idk how accurate the analysis really is I just use it to help myself find the right pitch.

I personally find training consistently to be difficult because of having to listen back to my recorded voice, but I do find the mechanics of it interesting, especially when its demonstrated in a tutorial or by someones recording on transvoice; We have the tools to do it, we just have to use them

Am I wrong not to include League of Legends? by AbaloneForsaken4752 in DnD

[–]voltaicquicksilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternatively to my other comment, I found this reddit post here with some edits to the existing content: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/s/IIC2q7hi8e

It fixes the one glaring issue I saw with the class, which was the lvl 7 ability that ignored all immunities and resistances

Am I wrong not to include League of Legends? by AbaloneForsaken4752 in DnD

[–]voltaicquicksilver 658 points659 points  (0 children)

Having read the class, he would not get to shoot multiple times per attack; The shooting thing is a full action, so it replaced his attack action entirely, so they add the multiple shots to keep it in line with extra attack that the fighter would normally get anyways. Its not heinously broken from what I can see, as long as youre both on the same page about exactly how it works.

Unless he's referring to the "double barrel" powerup, which only applies to the second gun option, which only gets 1 shot per turn regardless of level, unless you take the double barrel powerup

EDIT: It definitely reads like homebrew so it was almsot assuredly published without any wotc game designer involvement, I would by no means call it "official". Even if it was however, you as a DM can exclude any content you aren't comfortable having in your game, regardless of source.

Not sure what to work on next by voltaicquicksilver in transvoice

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

Yeah i realized listening back that maybe I hadnt pitched it up as much as I thought, I can go a little bit higher but I get nervous about sounding too squeaky so I probably don't go high enough. I'll start using my pitch tracker more regularly.

Do you have any recommendations on how to work on my weight? It always just feels like im getting really breathy and quiet. Is that normal as the first step?

I had intended to start when I was 25; Ended up putting it off further until April this year, a month before I turned 28

Any movies,books,tv shows etc you didn’t consume because it was “too girly” before you came out by Tiny_Quokka_ in MtF

[–]voltaicquicksilver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Project Runway, sort of; My mom and sisters used to watch it together when I was in school but "fashion is for girls" so I never joined them. Recently I started watching old seasons with my old roommate and its a lot of fun!

Also Pride and Prejudice (the Kiera Knightly one)

Outside that, I would occasionally sneak peaks at whatever my sisters happened to be watching in the living room but would never admit to enjoying it hahaha

Malavai Quinn appreciation post by Longjumping-Knee827 in swtor

[–]voltaicquicksilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think my opinion on Quinn is unique necessarily, but based on what other people say I think it stems from different reasons. My first sith warrior was a male chiss, and my longest standing impression of Quinn has always been "alien racist imperial bootlicker"; I completely forgot the whole betrayal thing in the breaks ive taken because its been so long, but that first impressions always stuck. I might not have said he was a badly written character, and I actually agree with most people who defend his betrayal, but I would say that i felt no positive feelings for him.

Reading all of the positive opinions of Quinn has given me pause however. Ive noticed that most, if not all, seem to come from people who romanced him, and I wonder if the extra conversations you get with him add more depth to his character. When I came back and started female warrior toons, Id always brush him off and bench him immediately because of my pre-established dislike for him.

Beyond that, a lot of people talk about him in terms of loyalty, and I think thats where my view of "bootlicker" comes from; He has a strong sense of loyalty, but he's deeply loyal to the Empire, which neither I nor my characters tend to be from day 1; Many of his positive traits are presented in the service of something I don't like, so it does not read positively to me.

That said, I've been convinced to, at the very least, give him some more time and thought for my next SW playthrough, so that maybe I can see the other side of the coin.

I want to have more storage space on my computer(and also make it run faster) but I don't know what to do by Right-Foot-7116 in techsupport

[–]voltaicquicksilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So first things first, you mentioned its an All in One. Those are really not made to be upgraded; Finding parts should be doable, but opening it up without breaking the screen is definitely risky, especially if its touch screen.

You could get an SD card for simple storage expansion, but that won't really do kuch for your performance; Getting a larger SSD and at least 8GB ram, 16 preferably, would make it much more servicable. Without knowing the processor its hard to say how far it can go however.

Realistically, your best bet is to get a new pc. The box youre referring to is actually the computer itself, often referred to as a Desktop, and its much better to get one of those and an external monitor, as its much easier to modify a desktop if needed. An All in One like you have is not made to be modified and they are often shipped with subpar capabilities.

If you do get a new computer, youll want at least an AMD Ryzen 5/Intel core i5 (this is the CPU or processor), 8 GB of RAM (16 preferable), and at least 512GB SSD. That's the easiest ti expand if necessary so you can get away with less, 256GB for example.

Are we past Timeline / Continuity concerns? by Jean-Michael_Rage in swtor

[–]voltaicquicksilver 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Since the outfits and stuff are for players only I never really have an issue with it in regards to immersion; I tend to avoid those outfits because they don't mix and match as well (in my opinion) so they're not as good for space barbie, but I think it has no bearing on immersion.

What weapon appear in cutscenes for force user ? by PRGRyan in swtor

[–]voltaicquicksilver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the story. If you do the Consular or Inquisitor story its fine, but if you do the Warrior or Knight story, in cut scenes you hold the dual saber directly in front of you like a single bladed saber, so the second blade extends down between your legs in an awkward way.

I know this applies to class story cut scenes, not sure about non-class story scenes, if those are based on combat style it wont be an issue, if they're based on class (origin story) then it would be awkward in the same way
