    Remember when I said one day you would be king of Hnet? Did you think I was joking? You're the successor to the throne, lad.

    Dear People,
    I would like to inform you all of something important that is happening in my life. Over the past several years I have been intensely exploring who I am.

    I’m transgender.

    I have gender identity disorder meaning I was born with a male body, but I have a female gender identity. It’s something I’ve dealt with for as long as I can remember, mostly by trying to pretend it was not there. Growing up was hard enough, but I also had to deal with growing up in a way that felt completely and utterly wrong. I pretended that I really was a guy from skin to soul, and actually ended up doing a pretty good job of it, for the most part. I made some friends and even had a few girlfriends. But it all felt hollow to me. Every time I looked in the mirror I saw a strangers face and not my own. Whenever I tried to have a relationship my gender issues kept getting in the way. I felt like I was living a stunted existence.
    Something had to break, and late last year, I finally admitted to myself that continuing to run from the fact would only make things worse. Of course, by acknowledging that, I had just cast my entire future into doubt. How was being transgender going to affect my family? What about my friends? My job prospects? I didn’t have any answers at first, but after months of late night conversations with my friends, I gradually became able to figure out the answers.
    To understand transgender people, you need to understand the concept of gender identity. It is an unfamiliar term to most people because it’s something that the vast majority of people never have to think about. The gender between your ears is the same as the one on your birth certificate, and that’s that. For transpeople, things are not so simple. There’s a disconnect between the way that we see ourselves and the role we’re expected to play by society. When we inevitably end up acting in like ‘tomboys’ or ‘sissies,’ or 'faggots' we end up getting ostracised by our “friends”. To make things even worse, during puberty we end up changing in ways that make us feel like our own body is betraying us.
    Thankfully there is a way for a transpeople to live reasonably normal lives: transition. It’s a process that tends to get glossed over by the media as ‘getting a sex change,’ equating the surgery at the end to the process itself, but this not only trivializes the experience, it misses the point. Transpeople do not just go out and ‘get a sex change,’ as if they were getting a facelift or a boob job. Transition is an extremely long process, with a duration measured in years. Typically, transition begins with seeing a psychologist for an extended period followed by hormone replacement therapy, allowing the transitioner to gradually slip into the gender role they identify with. Think of it as a second puberty, only this time with professional supervision. It’s usually only after someone has been living in their desired gender role for a year or more that they opt for sex reassignment surgery. And even then, many people don’t get it done, either because they don’t see it as necessary, or because they can’t afford it.
    I haven’t begun my transition just yet. Well, I suppose you could consider this letter my official declaration of transition. But I have not begun hormones and I’ve certainly not had surgery. I’m full of hope for the future, but also fear. I need as many people as I can with me to help me through my journey.
    If you have any questions I haven’t covered here, feel free to ask.
    Thank you for reading what might possibly be the hardest thing I’ve ever had to post.

    Edit: I'm sure uh, most of you already know what being transgender entails as we're a pretty good forum in regards to that, this is just a mass letter to everyone though so...

    I've noticed that, even when there are no Christians around to be offended, atheists like to thump their chests and rub one out anyway.

    It's important that you keep telling yourself what you like to hear, Sutekh. Wouldn't want you to accidentally believe a fairytale, or anything. No, rather, continue your riveting discussion on all things real, like Marvel comics. And television.
  8. pheonix561 liked a post in a topic by Chase in New Nintendo Pro Controllers; Miiverse; Wii U Tablet Redesign   


    During Nintendo's Pre-E3 conference, Iwata let us know that the Wii U will have new Pro controllers. Kind of resembles a controller most of us already know and love, doesn't it? Regardless, this is welcome news. I am assuming this allows for a 4 player game with 1 tablet and 3 Pro controllers. It also might be more comfortable to play certain games (Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, etc) with this controller. We will just have to wait and see.

    Also announced was Nintendo's new venture into the online territiory. Dubbed "Miiverse," it allows all of us to interact with each other through a cross-game chat. You can access online message boards that everyone is connected to that allow others to help you with your game. You can see what other games people are playing, you can video conference during gaming, and you can even access the Miiverse from smartphones and your 3DS. More information will most likely be revealed at E3.



    And finally, the Wii U Gamepad (the new official name) has seen a redesign. Most notably are the two analogue sticks that replace the circlepads on the original model. Comfort grips have been added to the back, and there is a new NFC Reader/Writer on the front. There is also a television button which allows you to control your television with the Gamepad.

    All in all, quite a few awesome announcements from Nintendo for a Pre-E3 conference. I'm excited to see what they have for us next!

    Rule of Nintendo: If the game is colourful, it doesn't have a plot worth speaking of.

    If I knew how to do it, and if I knew I could do it on a mac, I'd like to do a playthrough of OoT with that metroid mod where you play as samus instead of link throughout the game.

    This way I can say I played through the game without actually having played through the game.

    I recently played through Wind Wanaker again, for some reason expecting to be bored when I got to that part. It wasn't nearly as filler-ish or time consuming as I'd remembered it. Wand Wooker's aged really well so far.

    maybe I'm just biased because I like good games

    "Tetra I need your power!" That was pretty cool. So was the big ol' fiery boss guy coming out of the lava that you rode around with your arrows to kill.

    How many of you did the boss rush? The secret boss at the end was a cool surprise, but it was also disappointingly easy for me. I killed him really quickly.

    I finished the game with the skull train. Can't help but wonder how the hylians felt about that, what with their hero piloting a giant skull thing. I would have done the dragon but I didn't get all the pieces in time for that.



    (The fact that games like these work so well in low poly almost makes me want to make balderdash a handheld game, but that's another discussion entirely)

    I think my most memorable moment in this game was when you're taking the train across the ocean and you're suddenly boarded by pirates, so you're fighting these really big guys inside your passenger car. Moments like that in zelda games are fun for me.
