Hi everyone! For the longest time I’ve been very picky with games (still kind of am, but the list of games I enjoy is slowly growing) and just stuck with mainly Pokemon (I love its structure and just the teambuilding aspect of the rpg). Recently I played persona 5 Royal and it became one of if not my favorite game ever!! I played through it twice and have about 250 hours on it! Other titles I’ve played and enjoyed include Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, & Paper Mario TTYD.

I have breath of the wild from back in 2017 when I was more closed minded with games. I remember picking it up and getting overwhelmed with the vastness of it though I suppose that’s its selling point. I want to give it a fair shake I am just nervous about the learning curve.

As for switch 2 games I am considering Donkey Kong Bonanza (the most recent 3D Mario sandbox, in theory I SHOULD like it if I enjoyed Mario Odyssey though I want second opinions on it) as well as maybe preordering fire emblem fortunes weave, though I am concerned that it won’t resonate with me as much as three houses did.

I think the biggest factors for me in whether I enjoyed a game are intuitive mechanics, fascinating characters, having something/a goal to work towards (preferably in the form of a plot/story), and general pacing (I can’t do anything that’s too much of a slow burn).

Thoughts on these games and suggestions on other titles are greatly welcome and appreciated!

What the title says. Some picks for me would be Chuck, Mark, Walter, Pete, Mitch, & Aasim. I’m not arguing that all of these didn’t serve their purpose, I just enjoy their characters a lot

Objectively, the BEST is probably Kamoshida for how well it sets up the rest of the game and introduces its players, newer ones like myself especially, to the world. As for my PERSONAL favorites, I enjoyed how Madarame and Okumura were set up. I liked Wakaba as well but that’s more because of Futaba and her personal growth/introduction than her as a boss.

Edit: title should say boss, not palaces. Didn’t include Sae, Shido, or Maruki because that would be all the answers (rightfully so); wanted to make this conversation somewhat interesting

Preferably machine only for like the first six or so months. I need something simple that I can run with right away. Thank you so much! Also I wanted to specify that I’m 22 years old and a trans woman (pre hormones) so bonus points if it gives me both muscles and a dump truck hehe

I’m 22 years old looking to start their transition to a woman with hormones. I’ve wanted this for so long and I called the doctor’s office all excited just to find out they don’t take my insurance. Insurance coverage is non negotiable for me as I can’t afford to pay for my treatment out of pocket. I just graduated college and am on the autism spectrum, so I am more reliant on my parents than most people are. Unfortunately these parents do not accept me and my transition, so they won’t help me navigate the system.

I don’t have much knowledge at all regarding insurance, and often rely on my parents to lend me a helping hand in navigating through these situations so now that I’m all alone on this I feel hopeless and unsure of how to proceed. If anyone can lead me in the right direction in finding an endocrinologist that deals with transgender patients that accepts emblemhealth GHI insurance, I’ll be indebted to you for the rest of my life 🙏❤️‍🩹 PLEASE someone help me out… I’m miserable living as a man and want to start estrogen as soon as possible… this literally feels like life or death for me. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

I hate looking myself in the mirror. I’m beginning to eat healthier whole foods like potatoes, eggs, asparagus, toast, peanut butter, etc. walking is still a work in progress; some days I get close to my 8K step goal but other days like today where I get off to a late start I’m very sedentary. Im thinking the gym membership I’m getting Monday will help rectify this as I can just get those steps on the treadmill in like an hour and a half while watching YouTube videos. I’m 130 pounds but store a lot of fat in my face and belly, wrapping around to my lower back; I also have a little bit of upper body fat but it’s not as noticeable as the belly fat which is visceral because I can’t pinch some of it though I do have a good amount of subcutaneous fat. I’m trying not to think about a time line and reaffirm myself that it’s about my health but it keeps going back to the real reason I’m doing this: my aesthetic. I hate having a tomato face especially at my low body weight and a beer belly. I feel that I am physically unattractive and kind of miss the days a few years ago where I had more of an oval shaped face rather than a circular puffy one.

I’m pre hormones and I got some gender affirming clothes and a cute workout set but when I wear the bottoms I can see the outline of the bulge quite clearly :( I want to wear this set to the gym but I don’t want all the attention being on my ‘parts’. I don’t want to tuck bc it looks painful and kind of makes me uncomfortable thinking about it. Are there any other alternatives?

400 days doesn’t count. I don’t have a top five ordered or even a top five period but I enjoy the season 1 finale and the season as a whole tbh, the first three episodes of season 2, season 4 and season 3 episode 2 especially the latter half of the episode. I like the episodes that have a lot of action and good pacing if you couldn’t tell lol.

Makes for good television though!!

Hi everyone! My name is Katherine (Kat for short) and I’m a 22 year old trans woman pre hormones. Because of this I present and am read as male (it’s very dysphoric being called “sir” all the time but that’s not the point of this post). I am aware of the full context of things regarding how I am read by other women as well as nonbinary people in addition to how I perceive myself. There’s obviously a dissonance there that is incredibly hard to deal with.

But that kind of leans me into the main topic of finding women or nonbinary gym partners. The gym has always been an intimidating place for me which is why I’ve avoided it like the plague until now. The big intimidating roided out looking dudes (every passing day I hate and am more scared of men generally), the lighting, the noises of people working out, the lack of knowledge of what I’m doing- it all feels too much for me to the point where I black out. I was fine last night until it was time to use the machines and barbel and I had two fears- all the men around me on the machines, and getting injured. I’d like to add that I was wearing a sports bra under a baggy tee shirt and some matching dark green leggings so no I wasn’t boy modding like I usually do. I am also on the spectrum, hence the sensory difficulties I’m proud for being myself openly, but ironically enough it made me feel even more isolated and alone.

I don’t know what I’m asking for really, it’s just been on my mind these past few days the gym anxiety combined with trying to combat gender dysphoria the best I can. I guess I would like some advice on what I should do to make myself feel more at ease. I would like to ask a group of women or androgynous presenting people if I could work out with them, but I don’t want to come off the wrong way appearing as a man. What should I do??
