I came out a few weeks ago on Facebook as trans but still didn't bother to make a similar declaration here as well. So yeah, this is it. It's been about 6 months or so since I made this actual decision, and came out slowly to a few friends and family I knew wouldn't react negatively, until finally making it known to the world at large (at least my little section of it) on Facebook two weeks ago. I'm still not out at work, and am still not presenting female all of the time. I've changed my name/pronouns on Facebook, so don't be afraid to use those! This coming Tuesday i'm going to see a doctor and hopefully start hormone treatment. Other than that, and the fact that i'm growing my hair out, I don't really know what the fuck i'm doing in regards to my transition specifically. It's a slow process, but it's an ongoing one. Here's the letter I sent out to people better explaining where i'm coming from if anyone cares to read it. Also, here's a pic from last week. The hair is (obviously) a wig, but i'd absolutely love to have my actual hair at a similar length. So yeah, there's my story.

Hello! Obviously, I don't really post on any forums that much anymore. I occasionally lurk but that's about it. I just had a recent life change happen that explains a lot in my life that I've struggled with and couldn't understand why. To back track, I went on mental health leave from my job in December. I was unraveling fast mentally and couldn't be there anymore. I started doing Instacart full time while I was on leave and that's become my primary source of income now. I formally left my job in February. Anyway, during all that I started seeing a therapist to and get an actual diagnosis outside of I'm just depressed/anxious. After a lot of talking and testing, I've been diagnosed with autism. It's obviously of the high functioning variety, but it greatly impacts my social skills, communication and being self righteous about my ways being right. Who knows, maybe if I had this diagnosis much earlier in life I wouldn't have made as many social mistakes and been such an asshole at times. Sometimes I couldn't even understand why I did the things I did, but turns out I'm literally autistic. ????? It's been fascinating thinking back on my life with this new perspective and trying to figure out what moments my autism actually played a role in. Anyway, don't expect me to be around a lot more suddenly, I just thought I'd share this update as I'm more than positive this newly learned about trait of mine impacted my behavior online in many ways, starting with people here. That doesn't forgive my actions and behaviors, but maybe gives new insight to them instead. Ok that's all!

I guess I can try this thing again Haha, I was looking through the emojis, oh the memories

At least Morbius being more heroic makes some kinda sense as he isn't really a villain in the comics. Kraven is a cold heartless killer with an adrenaline addiction. Nothing about that says "heroic"

I would attempt this but I don't want to risk it - chances are any song (as in actual mainstream chart single) I would think of as being from the last 10 years would actually turn out to be from 2005 or something, and I can't handle that right now.

We had a thread about gaming regrets at DBZ Center way back, I think maybe Dez started it... that sounds about right. Surely we all have things we regret, whether it's money wasted on shitty games, games we missed out on because of decisions that are questionable in hindsight (ie, picking one console over another), games we were late to the party on, the list goes on. And a lot of time has passed since we last looked back on our regrettable decisions, so those of us who responded to the original thread probably have new regrets to share. Of course it's perfectly fine to rehash the old regrets too I'll get the ball rolling: Even though I still for some reason have a soft spot for the Game Gear, I wish I hadn't agreed to give away my Game Boy + games in order to get a Game Gear. That damn colour screen was just too tempting

Trading in my PS1 RPG's for new PS2 games when I was 15. We're talking about Suikoden II, Valkyrie Prfoile, both Lunar's, ect... As for a buying regret, Fable will be the biggest one for me. Bought the game at full price and 100% the game in 12 hours....
