Imagine if u went in with a broken leg and the surgeon just goes "no, no, you must have been walking around with this broken leg for at least 24 months before we can do anything about it. Please also come back with a referral letter from at least two doctors, so we know for sure that this broken leg thing is really bothering you"

Waiting for hormones almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter...

I did a dumb and tired to run F:NV with like 80 mods on a garbo computer. After literal hours of modding, it refused to run for longer than 5 minutes. I cried 😭

Ain’t that a kick in the head

This is also the finnish system.
But instead of just having dysphoria, we have the clause "You must have realized 2 or more years ago that you are trans", then you can see professionals for an absolute minimum of 6 months to get started on HRT.
I kind of understand why they want to have people with 2 years or more with the knowledge/realization, but having had dysphoria for a long ass time, only to realize the cause of it later, and then having to wait 2 more years WITH the knowledge there is help barred behind arbitrary gate keeping is just an amazing experience, almost ended myself multiple times and I still have about 3-4 months to go.
Sorry for the vent, its just harder during winter :(
I should really reinstall NV to take my mind off things.

Only $10? What a bargain.

WAIR YOU HAVE TO DO THOSE TWO THUNGS FOR HRT?

Huh? Is this a text swap joke or something? bc I'm really confused
Oh, it's just a riff off the running joke that pops up here now and again about New Vegas being disproportionately enjoyed by transfems
way to call me out.
Nah IM being the one called out.
Not that F:NV is bad in any shape or form (best F game I played though I haven't played 1, 2 or 76)... but why it become a meme?
I think it's just something a lot of peeps realized they shared in common.
Also don't worry about 76, it's definetly not worth your time.. 1 and 2 are actually pretty decent games though, a bit darker then the FPS titles but if you're playing Falllout then that probably isn't a problem.
I know. This is why I haven't played it.
1 or 2 can be really enjoyable, but it's important to know what you're getting into before starting the games, because otherwise you might find them little more than obtuse and frustrating experiences.
Like for example you absolutely need an investment in melee skills if you don't want the start of the game in FO 2 to be a living nightmare, since melee is the only offense available to you for a significant part of the early game, especially in the forced tutorial section.
I know I played a ton of RPG’s as an escapist coping mechanism when I was pre transition (y’know, be female in a digital space because I couldn’t be irl), and New Vegas is the gold standard for RPG’s.

I GET THIS NEWS

I personally like the story of Fallout 2 better, but FoE got me into it and will forever be my jam.
I love New Vegas, mainly cause it has a really good Doctor Who mod

Huh? Is this a text
Swap joke or something? bc
