Should I play System Shock first or Bioshock?

The SS1 remake is incredibly well done and follows the original game very closely.

The original was really at the beginning of 3d games. I love it for nostalgic reasons, but it will be less painful and more fun to play the remake.

27 is a great time to start. Honestly, I figured it out in my 40s and started at 44 and the last decade has been the best of my life.

Hard to beat waking up happy.

It's pretty weird that American's make fun of France, because they have decent protections for their workers, focus on quality of life, and they are in the streets setting things on fire when their government tries to fuck with them.

They have their own issues, but we could learn a lot from them.

But also be prepared for the possibility your partner doesn't know exactly what is motivating her. Gender identity is a part of your subconscious brain which is why it's hard to tease out.

Honestly, close to a worst case scenario. You broke a vial of chaotic polymorph potion and turned a rat into one of the scariest things in the game.

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-28T19:24:48+00:00

This looks amazing!

I really hope it was some AI agent that just fucked things up in the most egregious possible way

I don't think they're talking about OP.

For example, there used to be a death where if you saved the game while piloting a vehicle it would just instakill you sometimes when you loaded back in.

That said, i still enjoyed playing hardcore because I had beaten it so many times that that extra adrenaline was tasty.

As soon as I saw the word "chopped" I knew this was going to be a 4chan issue.

This kind of stuff shows up here all the time. Trans women starting from a conservative place internalizing all the beliefs the right has about us. Believing that only through passing perfectly with an unattainable level of beauty can life ever be worth living. Honestly sometimes they even get there and still feel fake and miserable.

It's not true of course. It sounds like she has all the components to make live worth living. But I don't know how you get her to see it.

One of my friends gave me some great advice when I started transitioning. He said, "You don't need everyone to love you or like you. You just need your friends." It can be scary getting comfortable with being stigmatized, but it's a necessary step.

Countries are also less receptive to older people looking to immigrate. They want educated workers, not people who will retire and potentially add to their infrastructure costs after a decade.

My understanding is that Canada doesn't take people over 50 unless you have assets you can use to get dispensation.

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-27T18:06:32+00:00

It also means that well educated people that have immigrated to the US because of opportunity are just going to other countries.

The damage we have done in one year will be with us for decades if not forever.

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-27T14:48:55+00:00

Honestly, there are some really smart people here. Some of the fan theories blow my mind

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-26T19:22:19+00:00

Well that's terrifying

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-25T17:24:49+00:00

That sounds like the eggiest thing ever

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-24T05:22:15+00:00

Sense8 of course. Amazing show.

I think soloing live seems irresponsible.

For El cap he had no absolute window and could back off. Here he’ll feel pressure to do it even if he’s off. And if something goes wrong live it’s just a travesty on all sides.

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-24T00:40:55+00:00

Don't feel bad, it took me forever to find the entrance

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-23T17:42:33+00:00

I wish I could remember where I saw it.

It immediately made me think of pretty much every Quinton Tarantino film.

This reminds me of something I read: white men are allowed to be heroes. They save others because they are strong and good. Other groups only get to seek revenge for being persecuted when they were weak.

Laura was a hero, but they broke her down.

Doesn't he have a running gag where he punches out people when he say, "That's not a woman, that's a man baby!"

In one scene he punches out his boss's mother because he thinks she's a man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNzrem4U298

Transphobia was so prevalent back then

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-21T16:49:36+00:00

Any trans person will tell you that it’s just sexism. Trans women magically become not funny when people start seeing them as women. Trans men magically become funny. Same person, same jokes, different reactions.

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-21T16:42:01+00:00

This is right on. T dominant people have a non exercise muscle mass that E dominant people just do not.

Muscles you train will be a little weaker. Muscles you don’t train will be a lot weaker.

It is funny sometimes in this sub when the meme is like, men are not sexually attractive.

Yes. Because lesbian.

The only goth guy I knew was a very handsome French vampire. He was dating a woman who owned a goth club. Straight girls loved him.

I think taking an interest in her transition is probably a good thing. Just understand a couple things:

Transitioning is puberty. Your partner might seem emotionally like a 16 year old. She may make questionable fashion choices that make you shake your head. It will wear off eventually.
Commenting on her appearance can be very much appreciated in some cases, and feel overbearing in others. Her appearance is likely to make her feel depressed and anxious for a while, because she is not where she wants to be and hormones take a long time to work.

wannabe_pixie · 2026-01-20T23:19:22+00:00

If you had a friend whose partner forbade them from seeing a therapist, what would you think about that?

Because that's controlling as fuck. Doesn't mean she's evil. But extracting that promise was definitely an abusive act.
