I believe that’s called executive dysfunction.

Moonstone Island is similar to Stardew Valley, with some Pokemon and Slay the Spire sprinkled in.

Graveyard Keeper also fits in that genre, though it’s more management than farming.

Or if you’re looking for a cozy puzzle game: Cocoon, Unpacking, or A Little to the Left are some good ones.

If you’re looking for something trans coded, there’s some shorter games that are pretty good: Secret Little Haven, A Normal Lost Phone.

I’d describe Ikenfell as a cozy RPG. You save the game by finding a cat to pet.

And Iris and the Giant I think is the only relaxing deck builder I’ve seen. Very calming.

On a much earlier version of Lemmy you could. At some point they pushed a change to disallow invisible characters, and that’s what broke it. So I had set my name with a trans flag prior to that update

Nice! I’ve been wanting to add pronouns to mine but couldn’t without removing the trans flag. Glad it’s fixed

open_agb_firm is another option for GBA games. Seems to offer better performance, particularly when it comes to audio. I played through Pokemon Emerald with that recently, and it was the only way I could avoid the distracting sound issues.

When I switched from Reddit to Lemmy, I started using Feeder for news to fill that gap. I think my podcast app on Linux also uses RSS.

I also used Feeder with Nitter for a while to keep up with friends posting on Twitter (I never really got into Twitter myself). Though that stopped working at some point.

So yeah, RSS definitely still has uses today.

How is this legal? Isn’t this a violation of copyright law at the very least, plus any other licenses that might apply to the files?

I found this blog post, titled The Null HypotheCis, to be pretty helpful when I was questioning. To summarize, basically it can be helpful to stop treating being cis as the default, and treat both cis and trans as equal possibilities. That can be a much better way to frame things, as it allows you to consider if you are cis in the same way you are trying to consider if you are trans. For me, that made it much clearer that I wasn’t cis.

So to put it another way - you listed a few reasons you think you’re trans, but it’s worth asking yourself what reasons you have for thinking you’re cis. And how do those two stack up against each other?

Life is Strange - At least the original, the sequels are not quite as unique. It’s an interactive story (though still in 3D) where you can rewind time to redo conversations, effectively making “save scumming” a core mechanic. The designers use the fact that you deliberate on your own actions quite well. The story is also pretty unique, but unfortunately there isn’t a good way to explain why without spoiling any of it.

Inscryption - On the surface, this seems like your run of the mill card game. But once you get familiar with the mechanics, some other genres start blending with it.

Edit: Should also add:

A Normal Lost Phone - The premise is that you find a phone that someone has lost, and you can use it to slowly uncover the story of the person who lost it and why.

Be excited about OpenAI’s approach to research

Damn, guess I don’t qualify. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Via the same agency that created Agent Orange.

This blog might help. It helped me back when I was questioning.

There is also That’s Gender Dysphoria, FYI if you haven’t read that.

Temtem.

Extremely predatory design that tries damn hard to force you into micro transactions. And once you do, you have to spend so many hours to get what you already payed for. On top of that, the endgame is almost a completely different game with a different target audience than the rest of it. I regret all the money and time I wasted on it. Had to hide it in my steam library to get myself to stop as well. That kind of predatory shit should be illegal imo.

Stay away from that game, especially if you have any past issues with impulse, micro transactions, and/or addictive tendencies.
