    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.

    Something involving video production, ideally editing. I've always been interested and dabbled before but never went into it in too much detail. You know I've been desperate for a career change for years but nothing really appealed enough to kick me into action. Just came to me a few months ago, I've done a bit of reading in what is available in terms of work and study, my plan right now is: - Get badass PC (done). - Start making short films and edits in my spare time (begins today!) - Enrol in a night class (enrolled for August already). - If I take to it and I'm this motivated by the end of the year, I'll apply for the full-time 2 year TV production course which covers everything - direction, editing, production, sound production, etc. Giving me the best base to find a career at the end of it. Scary stuff, I might get to the end of the year and decide it's nothing more than a hobby but that's my aim right now. I'm deeply, deeply unhappy with my career.

    Whatup. I missed everyone that doesn't like the way the other forum runs so I made this one. Rest of y'all should make some fresh meat topics to reintroduce yourselves, especially those that have been away a while. I love you all. What's new with me in the last little while? Got married to Jovanna. She's awesome. A hell of a lot more relaxed than my ex and also a professional event planner (going on vacations with her is fucking awesome). I visited Europe on the honeymoon. Got to meet a bunch of the Londish there. Basically one of my lifelong dreams (not being sarcastic) along with you know, actually seeing Europe. I just had a babbo. Her name is Luna. We somewhat named her after Luna Lovegood but I also got her a stuffed Luna cat from Sailor Moon. It's awesome and she's awesome. I'm on leave for 4 months from work. Going back May 20th. Seems like I'd have a lot of free time but I do not. If the baby is awake, she requires constant attention. So yeah hi.

    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.

    Worked my last shift yesterday. Was pretty chill. Spent three hours deleting emails and scrubbing my name from everything I've created for past few years, went to my empty ass office to hand back my laptop etc. One of my boss's was there (we need 24/7 emergency coverage) and he had his new puppy with him, so got to finally meet the pupster, got the pleasure of literally dumping my equipment outside my office, and he had left me a bottle of rum and a nice card outside too. This was at like lunchtime too was I fuck doing a full shift my last day. Got notification that my education money got approved, getting my final pay in three weeks and then I can make my proper 3 year budget but I think, if my rough calculation is correct, I'll actually have enough to finance myself for an extra six months after my education. If I can get a decent part time job I might actually look into doing a post graduate year. Super happy today

    Thanks! Mostly worked today but later tonight I'll be having my fave all you can eat Korean BBQ with friends tonight. And then have Bday shenanigans later this weekend.

    Played for an hour or so now that I've finished a run through of Outer Worlds. Definitely weird and interesting. Bulk of the game seems like an 'extreme' walking simulator for lack of a better description, but the stealth bits can get really intense and the story is pure, unfiltered Kojima so it's definitely holding my attention. Definitely not for everyone though.

    I'm hearing it'll still be at Full Sail for the time being, which is nice I suppose.

    Being a chonk is alright. It kinda went everywhere so I'm just in general physically larger. I have shed the body of a Chinese girl and am now mostly a man. Sadly all my good clothes don't fit and now I wear the newer fatter variety and only have like 2-3 pairs of everything that I refer to as my fat pants/shirts. I swear I'm like 3 times stronger too. Currently writing for Bonus Stage but one of the guys that works under Dan Stapleton recently informed be that Bonus Stage is a reputation gamble due to shady dealings in the past. Then both he and Jason Coles of EuroGamer both referred me to the guy setting me up. I still have two review obligations to Bonus Stage before I'm done with them but here's what I've done recently: https://www.bonusstage.co.uk/author/glen-nilsson/ Last 2 reviews are Shadow of Adam and crap.. Either Killer7 or Killer is Dead. One of them recently re-released on Steam in HD. Can't remember which lol As for my Zelda 2 remake (slyly titled AZ2R) is there like.. A sub-forum for gaming or whatever? I'll need to jump on my PC to do that. Essentially done 4/5s of Western Hyrule and mapped all dungeons on paper. It's actually transitioning well. It will be a long and ongoing process and I won't release or teaser demo anything til it's complete anywhere but here to keep it unknown before the full version is launched so as to avoid DMCA prior to release but it'll be as true as possible to the original only changing it to a top down action adventure. Sadly no more jump thrust or downward stab but there will be a few substitutions and advanced implementations of new items to make the game more consistent with the series but also more.. Ahh.. Traversable? You know, varied in terrain with more usable items, puzzles, etc. Less primitive. Other two games are my long revised and retconned jrpg and an action adventure survival horror, the latter being based in the Russian tundra in an old derelict missile silo with a dig site at the base ? As for my dumb heart I apparently have a slow heart, arrhythmia, had tier 1 and 2 heart blocks but the tier 2 one is gone. Basically I am encouraged to be a sloth so I'm cool with that. Almost worse than that, I have had pleurisy for over a year and am still on the ass end of that. After it hurting when I breath for so long I convinced myself I was dying but apparently I'm fine but I can't be medicated for it and just need to wait a billion years for it to go away lol
