I feel like the babytrans phase really just kind of sucks since it's just like being in your teenage years again. You start your transition and need to figure yourself out and how you want to present yourself to the world. Meanwhile you battle so many anxieties while looking at your peers and seeing them prosper in their presentation and you wonder why you're struggling with it. Spoiler alert: They went through the same thing or maybe they still do. It is a long way and different people need different amounts of time to find themselves. But I think it is important to know that every trans person has that phase and it goes away sooner or later. #trans #transgender

I got this stylized poster commissioned by @NebulaRobo@mastodon.art and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Please follow him if you like his art style.

On the topic of posters: Does anyone know the best place to print a poster like that? I live in Germany.

I didn't share the oil painting yet I made in the painting course I attended. It's a painting of a cherry blossom tree. This was my first time working with oil paint and it was fun to try it at least, even if I don't think I will pursue this further.

Fuck it, might as well just register for Art Fight to see how it goes. And how fitting that there is a team for how I feel right now regarding my art. I cannot promise anything, but like always I try my best I guess. Here is the link to my profile: https://artfight.net/~Flamecat19 #artfight

Okay, another lesson from my painting course done and I can finally show off the results of both this week and the last. The one on the left with the forest and the lake is from last week. I think both are not too bad, but I think I prefer the painting on the left. I could at least learn something about watercolors and that's something. #art #painting #watercolor #artlearning

You know, it would be cool to have the drive to draw something where I'm like "YES, I want to draw RIGHT THE FUCK NOW." instead of being mopey and needing to force myself to start. Maybe I just need to prepare myself mentally with some sketches before I do something bigger, just so I'm in the flow, if that makes sense. Otherwise I don't know how to get over that block.

Maybe that's a question for others: What do you do if you find yourself unable to start drawing right away?

Had my last therapy session today and I needed to explain to my therapist the difference between sexual and romantic feelings. I seem to forget that not everyone makes that distinction.

I saw someone on a furry forum have a signature like "I'm not artistically gifted, so here is some furry art I generated with ChatGPT" with the mentioned images and I'm sorry, that is a fast block for me. I have too much respect for artists and the process behind creating furry art for that. It just shows me that I don't want to interact with you since our values don't seem to align with each other. #furry

@lianna@micro.webgarden.click Interessant, dass du Estradiol-Gel bezüglich besonderer Lagerung explizit ausschließt. Mein Endo hatte mir bei meinem letzten Termin tatsächlich gesagt, dass ich auf die Temperaturen achten und das Gel unter Umständen in den Kühlschrank packen sollte, wenn es zu heiß wird. Weiß nicht, ob er da vielleicht ein bisschen übervorsichtig mit war, aber das war zumindest die Aussage.

You know what, I kind of like my tits right now. They're still not the biggest, but I feel like they got a bit more rounded out since I last noticed them. It's nice and pretty affirming.

First my start on ArtFight got delayed due to server overload and then I got ill, so concentrating on working on an artpiece is a bit difficult right now. Shame, since I already got an idea in my head. Just need to not feel like shit.

I still remember when I was in school and we talked about cis-trans isomerism in chemistry class and the girl sitting next to me remarked that she knew those terms because she had some trans friends. I told her that the term "cis" was adapted from chemistry and she looked at me with a suspicious look and asked how I knew about this.

She later dismissed it as me just knowing a lot of random shit (which is not inaccurate I guess), but... ehm, yeah, maybe there was a bit more behind that.

When I woke up today my throat was a bit scratchy and I thought nothing of it because I thought I strained my voice or something. Now my nose is running like nothing good, my nostrils are red as hell and I cannot stop sneezing. Seems like I caught myself something.

Right now I'm drinking some broth with extra garlic.

@witix@mk.absturztau.be As a transfem I say fuck that shit. The only person who can say what you identify with is yourself. That also goes for labelling someone else as an egg, which I personally find kind of toxic. You can help someone with their doubts if they ask, but don't try to force it.

I honestly hate websites which trick you with AI bullshit to visit their site. That shit pollutes search results with wrong information and doesn't have any value in itself.

For example I was looking for some information for Red Dead Redemption and the first result was exactly a site like this. I noticed because the text was talking about John Marston's new partner, Sadie Adler, a character which only got introduced in the sequel.

I really cannot comprehend it. I know it's done to generate clicks, but still I find it reprehensible. I try my best to block sites like this, but it seems like there is always at least one which falls through the cracks.

@vga256 As someone who grew up with the Myst games I really really love this. It's so interesting to see how recognisable this is from the final game while noticing the subtle differences in there. One thing I found curious is that there were plans to have a good and a evil brother instead of (spoilers for a 30 year old game I guess) both being evil and you having to save their father for the good ending. I wonder why that was changed.

I'm half thinking about not doing Art Fight this year. I'm not at all satisfied with what I'm doing artwise and I hate it. I think putting pressure on myself by participating will only make it worse. I need to evaluate what I can do to resolve the problems in my art first. I might change my mind still, but right now it's feels too much for me. #artfight

@VeridianExpanse@mastodon.gamedev.place Maybe a little suggestion: I think it would be good to be able to prioritize tasks for your drones. At some point I had a viridium shortage and every time I would look at the drone cargo they would just transport scrap, even though I didn't really need any. This became especially noticeable when I went to the icy area, since you can find almost no viridium there, and I had to travel between this area and an area where I can find viridium to transport it myself. Maybe that's less of a problem if you have enough drones, but you need to get there first.

@VeridianExpanse@mastodon.gamedev.place Finally got around to play it and I really like it. Just wishlisted it. I have one question though: What do Task Drones do exactly? I built a drone, but I don't know where it is right now. I don't know if that is explained somewhere, but if yes, then I cannot find it. Edit: Just looked at the cargo tab and there is a drone column, so I guess the drone goes around and picks up stuff, right?

@AzulCrescent I always think about how much time I've lost and how I also didn't have the experiences that others had. That's just how it is if you're queer and awkward around people, like I am. The thing is though that I'm pretty much at a point where it doesn't hurt as much anymore since I now can surround myself with people who I can be comfortable being myself with. Because that was always the biggest issue for me, not that I was not attractive and too shy, but that I felt like I had to hide a part of myself in the past. I hope your pain about lost life experiences in the past diminishes and you can try to build some experiences in the present.

Attack for @felisrandomis@pawb.fun. First time doing two characters at the same time. Really liked working on those two, even if it was more work than I thought it would be.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Oh, I heard that one even a couple of years earlier in the late 2010s, when I was at a company event and the woman leading HR said that software development will all soon be automated away and we won't be needed anymore. Let's just say that since then I've had my position as a software developer longer than she had been in the company in total (she left the company some time after that comment).

I don't really have crushes for characters from media I consume, especially not lesbian crushes, but I have one exception from that time I played Super Lesbian Animal RPG and it's Jodie that got to me: https://slarpg.wiki.gg/wiki/Jodie_Caldwell

Might just be that I'm an absolute tiger simp, but at the time I played that game I kind of got butterflies for her (which again happens rarely enough that I was not even sure that I was capable of crushing on someone).

@dragon As far as I see it Texas pretends to be the most representative of the US as a whole while being very much unique in their culture. We have a similar situation here in Germany where Bavaria is seen as the stereotypical German culture in other countries, while Bavarian culture is as foreign to me as French culture. That's why I chose New York instead of Texas.
