New on the Secret Area: "Halo with chips" has been found.

A dumb back of the box quote from Maxim magazine promoting a poker video game had become a small meme. I wanted to find out where it came from.

Likes, shares and comments are really appreciated. https://asecretarea.com/2025/02/21/halo-with-chips-found/

I made a new post yesterday to cover devolver digital's silly advergame

Heard this while listening to a podcast today and I just had to make art of it (in a crude MSPaint kind of way):

An addendum: I wish I kept in better contact with some of the folks who helped me on my transgender journey.

I still talk with some of them, but the rest shuffled off to other places, to other communities.

I wish I kept in touch, just so I can thank them for helping me.

I don't really have a good way to end this thread, so I'll just do a little self-promotion: Read my stuff, share my work, and all that. https://asecretarea.com

Even with that happy news, in the years since, I still struggle with self-love and being proud of myself, especially with being trans. Outside factors haven't helped matters.

But I'm definitely grateful to have friends, colleagues, and a partner who care about me. That's worth something.

Took me a while to get on HRT (COVID + Erin Reed's informed consent suggestion set me back a few months), but when I got on it, I was excited.

I still remember taking my first HRT dose while on a Discord call with @mavica_again and friends. Still probably one of the highlights of my life.

Remembering when I was grousing on a private social media account of which a friend saw that and invited me to a furry transgender telegram server to learn more about it.

Followed by years of talking about trans stuff with other trans folks, just to understand their experiences.

I ended up getting advice to check out a book about a trans woman's experience: Mia Violet's "Yes, You Are Trans Enough."

It didn't take long for me to start accepting that I was trans, and then I went from there.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility.

I've been trans since 2018, and I've been on HRT for nearly five years.

Pretty wild, when I think about it.

Game music needs to start using Mod Tracker files again, like Unreal and Deus Ex did

The music in those games sound *so good*, y'all

10PM is a perfect time to cook a pizza, right

turns out "going out and touching grass" is necessary for survival

trying my best to be more open and silly and it's hard, especially when I've been so used to hiding and masking for so long

feeling pretty wolf today

just wanna lounge and make wolf noises
