Something that irritates me about the depictions of transness so far is it's based on cis understanding of 'being trans'. And they always start from "oh you want to be a girl". Which... no... I didn't set out wanting to be a girl I just wanted to be comfortable in my own skin.

The way I achieve being comfortable in my own skin *HAPPENED* to be being perceived, spoken to, and treated as a woman.

But the BBC would have you believe I just woke up one day and was like "imma wear a dress!!!! im a girl now!!!!!!"

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Be gay
#2) Do crime
#3) Death to America

Well, it's official. Sonic Forces is now the first Sonic game I've ever beaten. And, I gotta say, I really enjoyed it. It was a fun game. Could the game have been better? Sure. But it was still really good and really fun as is. I quite like it. I would absolutely recommend it. If you've got it lying around and you haven't touched it, you should go play it. It's not a particularly long game. I finished it in around 4 hours. So, yeah. Go play it. It's pretty good.

The REAL problem with Sonic Forces 

Stage 28. What the FUCK is this long precision-platforming autoscroller over a pit of death with no checkpoints doing in my Sonic game, Sega? Seriously. Both precision platforming and autoscroller are antithetical to Sonic games and you decided to fucking combine them?!

Anybody else having trouble finding work despite being relatively skilled? I would love some ideas for interesting jobs where you don't have to interact much with people.

do you ever think about how google made a really good RSS reader, waited for everyone to switch to it, and then killed it, basically killing RSS

Rediscovering the joy of having a folder labelled "Games" in my downloads folder because the games I'm playing aren't on Steam

One of the games I just downloaded and rediscovered the joy in is Trackmania Nations Forever. It's free to play, not very graphically taxing, and basically an auto racing speedrun game. It was basically perfect for me back then. And, well, it's still *really fucking fun*. Like, holy shit. I can see myself getting addicted to this once again, just trying to shave hundredths of a second off a time to get a gold medal. OH IT'S BEAUTIFUL. Sure, it looks like a game out of 2003, but it's fun so 🤷

I think I'm gonna spend the last days of the decade playing some of the games I used to play on my old Toshiba Satellite. That thing was okay, but it was over 5 years old when I was using it back in 2013. It's Radeon X1200 couldn't exactly handle most of the games I wanted to play. So, I found other, less graphically taxing games to play.

2020 is the year we unabashedly like the things we like regardless of what other people think of them

I've solved my performance issues under Windows. It turns out that Soeedstep was fucked up. Disabling it has *massively* improved performance. Like, fucking, night and day. Suddenly it's running so fucking smoothly, Clone Hero gets around 400 fps with 8x MSAA, and I'm willing to bet I could actually get Sonic Forces to run reasonably well now. It's beautiful.
