Perversely, I was making this kind of media myself, without realizing that it applied to me very directly, but I couldn't connect the dots making/playing my own game, that took other media, centrally for me @Impossible_PhD 's https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/ but I very much think, and hope, that putting that kind of work out there can contribute to other people making this life-changing realization about themselves. 4/4

I don't think it's that overreaching to call games (or other media) that dwell on these themes as "thing that makes you trans", but of course what I REALLY mean is "things that help you realize you're trans". For me, I was very definitely NOT trans, until I learned enough about dysphoria to realize I was living with CRITICALLY HIGH levels of it and that yea, it was predominately gender-related. 3/4

Looking back at DDA it has MANY themes of dysphoria, depersionalization and alienation, and it even addresses some of that with transformative experiences, though strangely enough gender is just something you get to set whenever you like, whenever you like, not requiring external input.... hrm that's another whole thing innit. 2/4

To elaborate on what I mean by "it's not NOT involved".
My first reaction on seeing this meme (originally about a/the Silksong developer coming out) was "Author's thinly veiled gender dysphoria is my favorite genre", but then I was like, "oops that was supposed to be a joke, but it's the truth". 1/4

Lovely milestone in DDA. We lost a little piece of infrastructure a while ago (A little custom webpage that restyles game data files to keep them readable. The web server running it became unavailable.) and contributors have been asking for a replacement for a while.

The replacement turned up today, we wrote it 3 years ago and it got memory holed because the other version was still working at the time and it's existence wasn't documented.

@cwebber Fortunately for me, I suppose, I was never "hip" and "with it", but I'm pretty sure that doesn't prevent me from being cringe. In fact, it's possible I *was* cringe from the beginning. Most of the time I wasn't aware of it though. Hmm... That's probably still true. 🤔

@cwebber

When they made the movie "Heathers," they knew that any youth slang they used in the film would make it sound dated within a few years, so they made up completely new (but entirely, even *weirdly* plausible) youth slang just for the movie. But they did such a good job that we all started saying those things, and then in a few years it sounded dated.

what if littlegem wasn't actually temporally safe (i.e. no lifetimes)?

not because i don't think that's valuable, because it's a lot of extra work that would delay it.

Having a second puberty also means you get the opportunity for a second cringe too. This is happening now to the "dress goes spinny" generation of transfems

I'm at NDC Oslo and as per tradition I share with you a really badly lit hotel selfie of me in my self made clothes!
I made the dress about 8 years ago from a rayon fabric and the Washi Dress pattern by Made by Rae.
For the cardigan I used Andi Satterlund's Miette pattern and merino yarn (which is not my favorite fiber 🤷‍♀️).

First day of #scanagile26! Here are some hotel selfies of a blouse I sewed recently and am wearing today. Have been hoarding this fabric for a long time until I finally sewed it up. The pattern is loosely based on the Wiksten Tova tunic, which sadly is no longer available. Same pants as yesterday 😲.
I also made my bracelet!

Everything that makes you cool and part of youth culture eventually makes you cringe and part of old culture

But trying to be "hip" and "with it" is the biggest cringe of all

I'm barely starting to get acquainted with progressive jazz, or whatever this music is classified as. But I got immediately fascinated with it (a reaction which, when you're recovering from burnout, is quite significant). It feels like a delightfully chaotic mixture between Akira/Ghost in the Shell's soundtrack, samba percussion, bebop, Alison Goldfrapp, and a bunch of other genres whose name I'm not even familiar with.

The way I discovered this project was quite serendipitous, and I'm quite willing to let the rabbit hole suck me in.
