  • Electrical engineers hate OrCAD, seriously. I keep a spare file on all of my work computers collecting when I see someone on line saying OrCAD sucks. Brings me comfort when the program crashes for the 5th time that day

  • Wtf are these "clearly more promising avenues" for trans youth? And "behavioral interventions" to eradicate HIV?

    Jump

  • The avenues for trans kids is conversion therapy, or the dog-whistle "faith based counseling"; seen with the recent federal insurance ban on covering HRT but explicitly calling out conversion therapy coverage. A practice which is banned in several states but has been challenged by conservatives claiming that banning the torture of kids infringes on their "free speech"

  • Actor Terence Stamp, who starred as Superman villain, dies aged 87

    Jump

  • He did such a wonderful job as Bernadette in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. For a 90s movie featuring a trans woman played by a cis man I was worried about it coming off badly when I first watched it, but it was anything but. He played Bernadette elegantly, with class & sass, & a real dimension of empathy.

  • First time playing the original Deus Ex!

  • Model replacement, voice acting update (uses line stitching for existing npc voices - I didn't notice anything that drew me out of it), and a fully voiced protagonist. She does a great job! Voice Showcase

  • Played through Deus Ex earlier this year with the Lay D Denton (female protag) mod. It's amazingly integrated & gave such a fun spin on the existing game

  • 100%. Feel like my dad was only suited for raising kids until they were 10, then absolutely refused to engage with us as teenagers or even adults

  • effortlessly pissing off transphobes by breathing is pretty dope 😜

    Jump

  • Used to tell my partner I wish I was gay to teach my parents a lesson in empathy... Wow did that backfire being trans & gay

  • Definitely haha, the book uses footnotes at times to try and distinguish between the cyberpunk fiction & real-world incarceration practices since the two overlap so much

  • Chain-Gang All-Stars is really good! It's closer to modern day reality than far future cyberpunk, but still interesting dystopian sci-fi.

    The premise centers around televised nation-wide gladiator battles where incarcerated people fight to the death for their freedom. The book has some razor sharp commentary on the US prison system as well as reality TV and profiting off of vulnerable groups.

  • It's Father's Day in the United States. What is a memory of your father that left the greatest impact on your life?

    Jump

  • Yeah it's sad realizing my parent's love really was conditional

  • I came out to him over christmas 2 years ago and that's the last time he's spoken to me. His last words to me before he read my letter were "Love you always"

  • Locked

    What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments?

    Jump

  • Yeah, feels like a form of gish galloping

  • Trump still wants Canada to be the 51st U.S. state, White House says

    Jump

  • That website the HHS put up the other day to snitch on US healthcare providers for trans folks had every single Canadian province in the list as well 💀

  • Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!

  • Pathologic 2!

    It's a rich world & narrative that throws you in the midst of an incredibly stressful seemingly impossible scenario and asks you to try your best. I love how the intense survival mechanics caused me to compromise my morals, starting the game trying not to kill anyone and then playing day 8 seeking out people to kill & steal stuff from. The mind map is also one of the most genius "quest logs" I've ever seen, giving you a feel for your characters emotions and providing hints on what to do next. The fact that anyone can die of disease & end quest lines makes it that much more important that you do your best to save them.

  • Even when I suck at a boss fight it feels like I learn something new every time, such a good gameplay loop

  • The spells in Morrowind are so creative & fun too! Levitate & recall were my favorites.

  • Had to stay at home with parents during COVID quarantine w/ Fox News on almost 24/7, you're absolutely right. Also the "token democrat" is so biased to agree with soft conservative points, it's frustrating how many people fall for that trick.
