I'm starting to think they should just cancel The Flash like they did with Batgirl, and I don't normally agree with doing stuff like that. It's going to be a pain to advertise it with how often Erza Miller is doing criminal activity. It's just a bad look for them if they release it IMO.

I've never been on a date cuz I was raised in a cult baybee

My access to society at large was cut off. And now that I'm in a position to actually try, I'm such a nervous wreck I don't think I'd get anywhere anyway :198:

You don't have one because no dating apps.

I don't have one because I'm ugly and socially awkward. We are not the same

Dad if you somehow read this I'm joking, I am just socjally awkward
I said I won't download one for a multitude of reasons

One of them is that I tol am socially awkward and ugly even though my friends and family insist the latter is not true

I’m glad we are getting a direct for Splatoon. It’s weird how they have consistently given us updates but it feels like we know nothing on the game or if it’s new features.

My hopes:

-Story Mode is like the Octo Expansion levels and a pretty long campaign.

-Salmon run gets more of an update from what we’ve seen. Has new bosses and maybe new modes with different goals?

-This is the last splatoon on switch and will be supported with events and content till the next system.

-One or two new modes for regular multiplayer. Not sure what they can lean into but I hope we see more.

-Octolings get their own separate story mode giving us more single player content.

-Do more collars outside of the splatfests. It’s amazing how Mario Sunshine or any Mario content has been absent from this games when it started out with Mario characters. There’s so much potential being missed here. Even outside of that, other Nintendo game Collabs would be fun.

Give Me a master sword the flings ink around, or Samus’s arm canon but now it works like the charge shot weapons, etc.

Regardless I hope we get some cool stuff and am looking forward to it.

Y'all gotta learn to love yourselves first. It sounds like theres quite a bit of self esteem issues at play here and uh let me tell you getting a date will not solve that.
I talk a lot of **** because I find self-deprecation funny, but my self-esteem has been really improving.

It's a good feeling, bros. I want this for y'all.

I mean every time I try to fix my flaws I end up taking one step forward and two steps back
That's still a steady rate of improvement, my guy.

Instead of focusing on the two step backwards, focus on the one step you did make. While realizing that there's still room to grow.

My self esteem has been improving recently but I've got ways to go before I can truly say I'm happy

The thing is that I don't seem to ever fully be able to conmit to change

I stop eating sweets for a week and then I start eating them again and eat even more at that

I have self esteem issues yeah. But like... I don't know where it comes from. Like... do I just need to eat more fruit?
It comes from a genuine deep dive into your heart. It comes from knowing who you are. It comes from knowing that you are that person and that you can achieve all goals when you put your mind to it.

Yeah that's a valid take, but keep in mind that XX was certainly was less mature with the thing as it was just a punchline which was downright insulting to everyone. Hell, I-No would say racial slurs in that game. Strive looks at it differently, she was always happy with her childhood but her being AMAB had her be looked down due to her village's superstition. She proved it was a bull**** superstition by being a successful bounty hunter who gave her riches to the village to get respect, which worked, but her insecurities and feelings didn't change as she merely thought the issue was the superstition itself before realizing that the issue she had personally was being seen as a boy. Could it be handled better with a different character? Yeah, but this retooling of her backstory doesn't really contradict her backstory and goals, is handled respectfully and honestly, is something entirely unseen in video games


TLDR: Took an offensive punchline and figured out how to rework it to be fitting and interesting
https://guiltygear.fandom.com/wiki/Bridget
Checking the wiki, apparently Bridget could also tell that her parents felt bad about forcing it on her, so coupled with the superstitions, I'd imagine she'd just internalized being a girl as "the wrong decision" because it feeds the superstition and therefore feeds into her parents' stress. From where I'm standing, the superstitions kept her from really figuring anything out; They made her parents force her to be a girl, so she, in turn, tried to force herself to be a guy instead just to prove the superstitions wrong, instead of indentifying in the way that made her comfortable.

Then she did the thing, the superstitions went away, and she had nothing left to prove, so she was able to identify based on how she felt about herself, rather than indentifying just to stick it to some silly superstitions. So basically, "Don't force yourself to be someone you're not just to make a point." At least, that's the message I'm getting.

Also I exist on the boards again. Huh

The road to success ain't a straight one. It's a winding, bumpy road. And quite often you'll find yourself moving backwards.

But if you keep at it, you'll eventually reach your destination.

And hey, who said you had to stop sweets entirely? Cutting it down to once or so a week in smaller portions works.

Yeah I should know considering I've been trying to quit eating sweets for over a year now

I tried that, I ended up finding a loophole and haven't been able to go back since

It means that they were born male (or assigned male at birth), and transitioned and/or identified as a female later in life. Which makes Bridget a lady
Well, the reason I asked is, well, I know this is fiction, but...

Isn't it proper to call a trans person by their original gender when referring to them?

Or am I missing something with a transitioning or identifying as a female thing?

No, that would be rude and disrespectful. You call them by how they identify.
Odd. I thought I was taught to do that here when I brought up another trans person. Am I missing something?

Anyway, I guess that does it for that question, other than me saying: Trans-people are cool.

Also, just wanted to make sure.

By whom? Another staff member?

For the record trans people here should be referred to by their preferred pronouns, otherwise we'll label that as hate speech
Not necessarily another staff member. I do remember whoever it was, people were pretty much on their side and getting on my case about it.

If you must know, though; it was the time I brought up Chris Chan, and referred to them as a he, when others told me it was a she.

Pretty sure Chris Chan is a trans woman that goes by she/her though
