First time I’ve been in the same game as a legit #BrawlStars play of the week, don’t even care that it wasn’t mine
(caption in comments, also as context for non-players)
Video shows a 3 on 3 match of Brawl Ball, a soccer-like game mode in Brawl Stars (a cartoonish arena battle game for mobile). Winner is the first team to two goals, or highest score at the end of the 2.5 minute clock. Overtime if tied. Score is 0-1, favoring the red (enemy) team.
At 20 seconds to go, the ball is firmly in control of the enemy team, powered up and clustered around the blue goal. Blue loses control of the ball twice, leaving only a barely-alive Rico to defend. The 2nd blue player to go manages to chuck the ball a little behind the red team.

A thread on blood testing for transfeminine HRT, beyond just checking estrogen and testosterone levels, heavily based on my recent personal experiences attempting to validate some long-standing hunches about my medical transition.
I'm not a doctor, and this isn't medical advice. It's every individual's right to decide their own best path for accessing the outcomes they desire, and obligation to do so responsibly. If you have corrections, clarifications, or contradicting info, please feel free to share.
This info is shared in the spirit of acknowledgement that many of us are in the position of managing our own treatment, even when under a physician's care. I do think the best outcomes come from informed doctors AND patients working together.

In the anime Fate/zero: UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS, the hero’s ultimate magic is creating perfect replicas. His enemy (whose magic is an armory of legendary swords) disses him for this, but he wins in a sword-off because a perfect fake IS simply the real thing. Anyway, this is gender
Q: Ada isn’t “sword-off” a weird way to say “swordfight”?
A: no. the armory guy shoots his swords from portals connected to the armory, and the hero is able to counter each one by manifesting perfect fakes and shooting them right back
Q: Ada are you saying trans people are “perfect fakes” of cis people?
A: I’m saying Emiya spent way too long feeling bad for not having what he considered authentic motivations, but once he decided it didn’t matter, it stopped mattering and he became completely unstoppable

randomly feeling salty that despite doing undergrad at an incredibly nerdy school AND having a diehard party crew, there was a paucity of enthusiastic volunteers to help me build and playtest “beerpong with D&D classes”
to be fair, it usually came up while we were playing regular beerpong, which is for a variety of reasons not the utmost best game design environment
part of the reason it appeals to me is because to do justice to the concept would require one of my absolute favorite things, which is designing for inebriation (and non-baseline cognitive states in general)

had a dream i asked @jmspool to help me investigate a haunted warehouse. he gave me 30 minutes at his hourly rate, we had a definitive ghost encounter, then the time was up and he calmly requested his project retainer fee to continue. i really respected that
notable is that in this dream world he was still a ux guy
dream-quote: “it’s really exciting stuff; i mean, ghost train? i’ll take two, thanks. i just don’t have the free time to devote to it on my own.” [waiting for me to pay him for spirit world investigation]
