My vampire now has a tall collar.
At last, she is complete.
Peeve: I can feel the testosterone blocker wearing off in the last weeks before the next one. My temper starts getting much worse, my voice gets hoarser, my sleeping pattern gets destroyed and I swear much more. Itās really f***ing intollerable.
Next one is the 6th I believe.
Additional note, I ran out of estrogen tablets and my forgetful parents forgot to get more again. (Iād get it, but alas, agoraphobia, also I canāt drive, chemist is rather far away.) So suffering side effects of withdrawal from thatā¦
They call trans people insaneā¦ but the truth is, weāre only insane when our meds run out.

Idk if this is helpful at all but: Congratz on that period.
Hope your meds turn up soon. Hormones are evil.

My stepdad forgot to tell me he got estrogen earlier today. But he also got me vimto, so I forgive him. One less hormone to be missing out on has got to be a win.

I am back from the mini Pride event in my home town with my ankle playing up more.
A friend of a friend is gearing up to ask my aroace friend out and Iām 99.9% sure theyāll say no.
Did tell the FoF that if heās a jerk about the answer, Iām going to kick his teeth in (a lot of people have got irate when my friend told them they didnāt want to date, so I just decided that Iāll put my foot in now).

Also, had to nip into Primark to buy a jumper because while it was supposedly 18 degrees out, the wind made it very cold.
Buy myself a Stranger Things hoodie with the Hellfire Club logo on it.
Go outside to a Street Preacher yelling on a microphone, he sees my new hoodie and says; āi see your Hellfire Club, hellfire is realā so I just walked past him openly giving him the middle finger.
I have mentioned this particular clown in a peeves threads where he was going on about how gay marriage is sinful and āpretending to be a girl when youāre a boyā is also sinful plus all the usual transphobia and homophobia.
So not engaging except to give him the middle finger was more than adequate.

I love how these people are allowed to scream into microphones. But if I mention Iām trans in public, suddenly itās āshoving it down peoples throats!ā
Excuse me while I scream real loud.

We have buskers in my town, they have to pay a 50 quid license to busk.
Whereas these see yous donāt have to pay anything to yell into a mic and harass people getting off and on buses.

Screenshots from dragonflight that contain dragons disguised as elves looking sad about something are rather common Iāve noticed
Is that the theme of this expansion? Depressed dragon elves?

Bad start with pathfinder, it doesnāt understand what borderless window is, as the game minimises when I click on the other screen.
Put in windowed mode and used borderless windowed gaming to correct it.
Character creation is just a bunch of picturesā¦ fairly disappointing.
Oh, okay, thatās just for the portrait, why isnāt the portrait based on what the character looks like? Man, this is really quite poor.
Two of the rogue options are just, brute forceā¦ I want sneaky sneaky shooty with bow sometimes, picky locky. Not brute force. If I wanted brute force Iād play a warrior.
I canāt choose assassin, because I donāt have the stats for itā¦
ITāS NOT EVEN DONE STATS YET!
Iām either missing something, or this game is really badly made.
Frick it. Iām having this bad a time with the character creator, itās clear Iām not going to like the game. Hmmm, itās only been 13 minutes, Iāll keep trying, but this stuff is really in the wrong order.
Edit: Ugh, do I have to choose a deity? Boo. Aha, Atheism!
Yuck, Alignment, one of the worst things ever put into an RP setting.
Alignment should change day by day, it shouldnāe be a thing you choose on creation, thatās very silly. But I guess Iāll go chaotic neutral, least likely to get in the way of a rogue.
Cape clips through tail, great.
The tattoo option is empty.
Why do you choose portrait before you choose character appearance?
Character creation is actually terrible.
There seems to be a second character creation, one for some random humanā¦ What even is this? (I figured this out, I chose the fox person race, they have a racial that turns them into a humanā¦ seems useless.)
Right, the character creation was terrible, wound up with: https://imgur.com/a/RXpaTit
Maybe the game will be better than thatā¦ because that wasā¦ just not a good experience.
Ah, good, first person to speak uses the portrait I was -going- to chooseā¦ Good thing I didnāt.
The absolute chore and slow suffering trans folk put themselves through to be as they are by the sorcery of medical science makes it so infuriating when bigots think itās some silly thing done on a whim.

The usual chuds always attack the people who are most vulnerable, who have to jump through the most hoops, who put up with the most villificationā¦
Itās maddening and madness both. Like, I wouldnāt wish those hurdles on anyone, what on earth makes these people think itās either done willingly or, in the case of medical stuff, done to āgain advantageā or whatever?
Absolute madness. Braindead āsocietyāā¦

While I do agree that the portrait selection is quite poor, you have the option of uploading your own portraits to the game. You can do it manually (takes almost no time by following a simple Youtube tutorial if you have a picture in mind), or use portrait pack mods. I didnāt want to use Nexusmods, so I did it manually. The main thing that takes time is finding a good portrait from the Internet.
The character creator is pretty superficial because youāre not really going to be seeing your character all that much as you see them in the creator due to the nature of the game. Itās not really like World of Warcraft, where you can zoom in on your characterās face all that much. The portrait is more important, so I guess thatās why itās first. You create an approximation of the portrait after in the character creator.
This is true, sometimes the game wants you to have certain stats, alignment, etc for the class youāre choosing, both of which come after class selection, but at least you can go back on the class selection after choosing your stats and alignment.
I might be wrong, but if it just highlights itself as red but lets you continue, you can just continue as normal to get necessary stats/skill points/alignment/etc as required without having to go back, too.
The deity selection is relatively minor and offers minuscule benefits. It doesnāt matter too much, alignment however is indeed a pretty meh experience. There are some classes that require you to stay within the alignment or you cannot either continue leveling that class, or lose all class abilities if your alignment shifts.
Also, the classes have subclasses, so a sneaky shooty with bow sometimes, picky locky can be done with a variety of different classes, not just Rogue. Picking locks is moreso about the Trickery skill set, so you donāt have to be a Rogue to pick locks.
If you have time, it might be worth just going through the classes and reading what each base class does by description, and then what each subclass does. Ranger for example has Espionage Expert, which is the class one of your potential companions has later on, and she quite fills the role of a stealthy shooter with a longbow that picks locks.
Slayer- Deliverer adds Sneak attacks to ranged attacks, if by sneaky sneaky you mean making sneak attacks. The game doesnāt necessarily have āsneaky sneaky stealthyā sections in the game (thank god) and if it does, itās very likely doable for all classes. The main thing about Rogues and other āsneakyā classes are sneak attacks, which pretty much increases your damage output on hits.
