Congrats!

Tell me how it is. I haven't played Skyward Sword

I didn't mention it in a post. Most of the early ones weren't, but it's in the list in the first post.

Blindsprings has the most adorable art.

The story is good, too.

EEEEEEEE

* Vell adds blaster nation, too.

EDIT:

* Vell realises half an hour later that Blaster Nation was already up there. Woops.

How would you play gamecube games? A standard controller of any sort that's compatible with a pc?

Can this run Gamecube games?

*cough*

The Boy Who Fell is a story of a boy who moves to a new school, falls off the rooftop and winds up dead. In Hell, he has to enter some kind of tournament to decide who among the participants is worthy of one wish from "Lord Devil." He is, of course, a human who has to survive in a world of demons.

More coming eventually. Maybe.

Oh. Not what I was expecting.

oh, wow, those. I'm surprised they aren't in there, if they're not. Lemme check-see.

EDIT: Wow they're not. How is that? I'll update with those in there, bringing the count to 71.

Is your name referencing something

Most aren't going to be bothered by it. since most feminine men still feel like men. same for vice versa

Well, as I said, speaking from a definitions standpoint, gender and sex are two different concepts.

Sex is what you -are- physically. Gender is what you -feel- you are, socially. The primary difference between them is that the former(Sex) is a physical trait, and the latter(Gender) is a social construct. For example, "typical female personality traits" are a part of one's gender, not one's sex.

The usual reason for transgender changes are due to a disconnect between one's gender and one's sex - and since people find changing their mind to be somewhat impossible or otherwise prefer to leave it be, in this case, the body - their physical sex - the more mutable of the two. The idea is that one feels trapped in one's own body, with parts and pieces that don't belong. The mental gender feels constrained by the physical sex, and there's a psychological desire to make the two match.

Whether or not it's a legitimate thing or not is, I believe, still open to debate. I tend to err on the side of not being a bigot, though, so if someone feels they are transgender, I will usually be accepting of their intended and perceived identity. Myself, if I identify as anything, it'd be more likely to be gender fluid than any particular gender - but then, mostly in the sense that I don't identify with either gender all that well. I've been happy being called a man, and online many people assume I'm a woman and that never bothered me either.

Spinerette is a webcomic based upon western comics and is set in a world highly reminiscient of our own. It's basically - and literally - a webcomic about a girl who gets turned into a superhero with spider powers - think spider man, but with six arms and buttsilk as opposed to handsilk. The world seems to basically be ours, but with supers of every type. They directly reference fictional superheroes in our world - like batman and spiderman and etc - and they're fictional there, too.

Love Not Found is a quirky little more-or-less nonsense tale set in a distant future where mankind has lost its touch with its fellow man. Most humans go about their entire lives never coming into physical contact with another human. Not even their own children. One day, a somewhat dim cafeteria worker has a accidental bump-in with a guy and he accidentally brushes against her somewhere, and this sends her on an adventure to make physical, loving contact with another person. She seeks love and intimacy, in a society where such words have lost their meaning. It's fairly inconsequential, and it updates sparsely, but it's an entertaining read.

Amya is basically a manga in webcomic form. The artist seems fairly talented, and the story is interesting if a bit predictable. It's not very far along in it plot and its been around for a few years, so I assume the creators want to drag it out. It's still worth picking up; it's decent fantasy, if you're into that.

Fragile Is another manga in webcomic form, although whereas Amya was shounen, this is pure, slice of life shoujo action. It follows a group of senior high school girls (In, I think, not japan?) who are basically just living lives. One girl, relatively unmotivated in life, is given the task by one friend of developing a hobby. Meanwhile, another girl suddenly moves into town. A few social blunders here, steadfast earnestness there and somewhere along the way a story is told. It actually does a decent job of keeping up with its, like, six or seven main characters, which can be hard, so props to them.

Todd Alison and the Petunia Violet is... I'm not entirely sure. The art's not the best and it doesn't really improve, but the characterisation is... while odd, intriguing. I don't know where it's supposed to be set, or if it's really supposed to be set in the real world or... really, anything. Mostly I'm just confused and I'm not sure I'm supposed to be. Ostensibly, it's about this Violet character who goes around bombing things in this city, and there's a woman named Petunia and a guy named Todd Alison, the latter of which is on a taskforce to catch Violet and the former is the sister of a wealthy politician who is above said taskforce but... I just don't know guys.

Solstoria is, sadly, a slow-updating webcomic. It's also fairly heavily influenced by manga, I believe, but it's got a somewhat unique spin on the art style at least, which makes it interesting. Or maybe it doesn't. I haven't kept up on my manga lately. It seems to just be starting its story arc, which is strange considering it's been a few years, but webcomics, man, what you gonna do?

That's all for now, and the first post was updated. I'm just glad to be all caught up on putting these in the thread.

Okay, okay, so, you guys are getting something mixed up here.

You're equating gender with sex. i.e you're saying that the sex of someone given at birth by their genetic code is synonymous with their gender. This is not precisely true.

Gender is a social construct. It's tied physically to your evident sex, typically, but there have been numerous societies throughout history that have had multiple genders. It's been too long since I've researched it to throw examples offhand, but I believe the native american tribes had a few, as did... Ancient Japan? China? Nines but I dunno.

The thing about transgender people is that their mind identifies as one gender, but their physical sex doesn't match up. It's considered to cause a disconnect between an individual and their body. Similar to body dysmorphic disorders, i.e anorexia.

That doesn't mean people need to -advertise- that they're transgender all over the place, but at the same time it's a bit... bigoted to treat them differently based on that? But I'm coming from the viewpoint of someone who spends literally 80% of his mental energy in social situations acting on past monitoring of individuals and people and past social interactions I've been in and spending truly annoying amounts of energy being the one to make -everyone else- comfortable, so I can understand the frustration.

Nine hells I got distracted halfway through this post and forgot half of what I wanted to put in it.

I'm watching Markiplier's playthrough of 3 now, and yeah, it's not as intriguing as the first two. But then, its not the effort put in that's dragging it down, it's the premise itself. It gets kind of hard to come up with interesting things to make it work. And FNAF 2's minigames meant he -had- to do minigames in 3, but even in 2 they didn't really do much. And he keeps changing villain characters. Freddy, Puppet, snaptrap? Why not just keep it to Freddy, seriously?

I'm surprised there's not a thread about this yet.

Five Nights at Freddy's! The entire series is out now, and I'm having a grand time watching some of the youtube people playing it. It's a fun thing to watch others play.

o.o

Cucumber Quest is the quirky little story of bunnyboy Cucumber - a fledgling mage/wizard/whatever who really just wants to attend magic school - who is forced upon a quest as the LEGENDARY HERO to save the WORLD from the clutches of the TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE KNIGHT. It is somewhat a parody and enjoys poking fun at typical jrpg rules. The art is gorgeous, even if everyone is bunnies. It also has lesbians.

Forgotten Order Is a webcomic about a dreaming doll and a fledgling half-human half-goat wizardling who sucks at magic. That's thebasic premise from what I can tell. It's short, unfinished, but the art is actually very well-done and stylised excellently, and there's at least the beginning hints of a plot developing! I think this one may take an eternity to get anywhere though, which is somewhat unfortunate.

Nimona is a finished, somewhat short webcomic about a mad, evil genius and his new sidekick, a shapeshifter! The titular character is the sidekick. It's a fun romp.

Also, Vell's back! I mean, like, obviously.

Yeah I've noticed that, about the not posting much. Place feels like it's been slow, but that's alright.

/o/ I popped in again! I need to ideas, anyway, so I'm more just asking if there's interest before I go ham on the ideasing.

Hi guys.

I wanna run an rp.

I can afford to poke in once or twice a week to make this happen. Possibly more often, even!

Thoughts?
