    XD yeah i wasn’t super masculine though so idk what my body was doing with all that

    Dang! Hope you can get prog soon, honestly the sleep benefits have been the most beneficial thing from it for me. Orchi didn’t lead to any additional changes for me, but god was it nice for dysphoria

    Hm couple things! My levels after 3 months weren’t changing as much as I wanted to. Before I started on HRT I basically had double the average Testosterone (& double the average E) so I figured injections were a guaranteed way to nuke my T levels.

    I also had heard from others that injections worked much better than pills, and I figured since I wasn’t scared of needles that I’d give it a try. It was also super convenient to switch to only remembering my HRT once a week, I’ve got ADHD & was struggling a lot to remember taking my pills twice a day.

    Congrats! Wishing you the best on your journey!

    I switched to subq injections after about 3 months on pills & it was the best decision I ever made for my transition. Felt like the whole process accelerated, within 7 months of switching to injections (10 on HRT) I was stealth at my new job, it was shocking how much of a difference that made.












  • That fight is so incredible, I could gush about it all day. The ambience, the visuals, the environmental storytelling, just amazing.

    Spoiler for 16th colossus

    The only colossus to feel so direct in its attacks towards you, you can feel its anger at watching its fellow colossi die. Especially since when you reach the top you realize the 16th faces out from the bottom of the map, so it saw every colossus be slain one after another.

    Also holy shit having to snipe its hands/shoulders then jump onto it was so exciting, even if it was a bit jank.


  • NelDeltoGames@lemmy.worldOnce again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

    I love the ps2 era of games! Here are some suggestions:

    • ICO: Minimalist game about a cursed boy & a girl with mysterious powers trying to escape a castle together. An absolute classic.
    • Shadow of the Colossus: Another Team ICO game, this one you’ve probably heard of. You play as a young man who sets out for the Forbidden Lands, finding and slaying 16 colossi to resurrect his deceased love.
    • Silent Hill 2: One of the greatest survival horror games ever made. Introspective, tackles mature themes, and deeply chilling. A game I truly feel is haunted.
    • Persona 4: High schoolers solving a murder mystery in a rural Japanese town. I prefer the vanilla ps2 version to the revised Golden edition, it graphically preserves the fog & spookier ambience - with better pacing from less bloat.

    For some more obscure games:

    • The Adventures of Cookie & Cream: A brutal co-op/singleplayer puzzle game developed by Fromsoft. Has a fun art style & interesting levels.
    • Tak 3 - the Great Juju Challenge: Works best in co-op but still a blast in single-player. 3D platformer with varied levels & a fantastic voice cast (Patrick Warburton as Lok is the highlight).

    Btw if you’re playing mgs3 on the ps2 make sure it’s the Subsistence edition! It has a 3D camera that works way better than the top-down the og game shipped with.


  • Xenoblade Chronicles 1 has an amazing opening, with the Bionis & Mechonis fighting it out. Then freezing in place & cutting to thousands of years into the future, where sudeenly you realize those giant gods in rhe intro are the game world that you’re going to be exploring.

    Spoilers for XC1

    What’s even better is how almost every sentence in this intro is proven to be wrong. And the opening foreshadows the real conflict of the game for those watching closely.
