No, you meet him, he’s just around the corner when Aloy sees his still-living thousand-year old body, and burns him alive.

🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

I hate how we have to put up with those random losers on the internet. I reported him.

Be safe and be well, Morgan.

It took a moment to get the moderator arrangement sorted, but I’m no longer a mod now.

Power tripping? That’s what you’re gonna cling to, and repeat over and over again?

I did this shit for a decade. I built this community from the ground up and formed it into what it is. Over 200,000 people like it enough to be subscribed to it. Don’t like it? Go roll your own.

I’ve taken so much fucking abuse and utter bullshit from people in modmail. I’ve seen people send me pictures of severed dicks when I banned them, I’ve seen people send me postal mail to my own address that says “you banned me on Reddit and this is proof I know where you live,” I’ve had people ring my fucking doorbell with a bat in their hands.

So screw you. We do this for free, and we do this cause this is the community we believe in.

We believe pictures of people’s genitals should be further away from minors than a single click. I can’t fucking believe you oppose that.

God fucking dammit.

You are among the list of reasons I no longer moderate here.

Well, I don't really work here anymore.

The mods'll get it sorted.

Getting old will be the best thing that will ever happen to you.

It's better than getting shot and bleeding out on the floor of a bank.

It's better than dying of pancreatic cancer at 26.

It's better than dying of a horrible car accident, gurgling about your mom through smashed skull bones.

If you die of old age, it's the best possible result.

Think of it this way, with every birthday you celebrate, that's another year where the bastards haven't got you yet!

Getting old is a privilege denied to many.

The genitals of any given poster shouldn't be in their profile, where kids can see them with a single click of their username. That's what the mods are trying to stop.

No one cares what you comment in porn subs, but if you're posting body parts, the mods try to keep people from seeing those.

Dude. Use a non-porn account for the subreddit. It ain’t hard.

It's spelled "moderator". You can see the word spelled correctly in this manner across the entire website.

I literally got a permanent suspension from reddit for this.

The repetition was encouraged. Although the questions don't change from week to week, the answers do. The subreddit operates on iteration and incremental improvement.

No, what burned me out was constantly dealing with creeps and perverts arguing that they should be allowed to show their genitals and talk about sex on the subreddit. What burned me out was dealing with endless fascists in my modmail, looking for any emotional crack in my armor to bust me down with and report me to the admins.

What burned me out was endlessly arguing with random dickweeds in modmail that no, I didn't respect their freedom of speech, because freedom of speech isn't a thing on this internet website, (because "freedom of speech" just means the government can't jail you for speaking out against it) and I can ban whoever I want for any reason, and I usually ban fuckfaces for being fuckfaces.

No. This account is supposed to be suspended. I’ll be on Discord though.

I approve of this message. Please put Strongshell at the top.

Also, my permanent suspension was mistakenly lifted, and should be reinstated. I acted with rage and vitriol in modmail many, many times. I apologized for my actions, but I do not believe the punishment was in error.

Nine years later.

I don't keep this box on me, and I don't even own String Railway anymore.

Now it's just my cell phone in my pocket, same as everyone else. Times have changed.

Nope.

Reason being is that it paints a target on the heads of minors and then those minors get really gross messages.

Instead, we just moderate as though every single person in the subreddit is 14. Since this is an SFW subreddit, devoid of sexual discussion and sexual pleasure, it’s simple: we remove creeps and pedophiles with haste.

Interestingly enough, this was taken in a science museum at night for an adult event! I just lucked into the best lights and lighting, entirely by accident.

This is my very most favorite picture of us.

I cannot read this word salad you wrote.

You seem to be taking the reactions of 65 lines of code in a moderation script that applies to every human that uses this subreddit way too personally.

Pipe down or take it to a private channel.

Replies to this will be deleted and unread.

The robot is just a robot. It has no feelings, logic, or thoughts. It cannot misjudge, and does exactly what it was told to do every time.

It sees a few letters in a certain order, and that triggers an action, and then it performs the action. Meaning, intent, emotion, capacity to judge, none of this factors into this.

For example, if your post includes the letters in this order, “training,” then the post gets deleted and marked with a note that says “no fetish content,” because that word seems to be abundantly used by people who are trying to explore their sexual fetishes in this child-friendly space.

What you should not do is have public multi-paragraph freakouts about how the automod mistreated you. It does not care. Emotion is not something it conceives of.

Instead, what you should do is to message the mods privately, say “the robot messed up, can you take a look,” and then we will do just that.

I don’t know if you’re aware if it exists or not, but Google Translate is fairly reliable for short sentences.

その本は英語もで読みにくいと思います。

The Codex Seraphinianus?

Never could read it, love to look at the pictures though!

Don't name yourself etcetera.

I appreciate you so much. Thanks for being good.

Sure, the gameboy was a Pokemon machine, and the PlayDate is a Japanese-lesbian-love-story-told-through-text-messages-with-a-flower-growing-minigame-and-crank-powered-elevator machine.

That's just the kind of gaming console this is.

I’m already frustrated with you putting your misinterpretations of the written rules on others.

Don’t push it, pal.

You’re not Kozak_76, it’s fine.

Founder and head moderator here, the post is fine, please fuck all the way off, thanks

That's kind of the nature of the subreddit. The same questions get asked endlessly, but the answers slowly change and get better each time.

”A Savage Mouth” by Komatsu Sakyou intensifies

^{note: do not read this; this is one of those random short stories that will haunt the rest of your entire goddamn life}

Yo hey, as someone who was actually stabbed a decade ago in a transphobic crime, go to the hospital ASAP. Plenty of time to post at us when you're in the trauma ward, okay? Don't die.

Looks like it! I’d say yes.

I just want to have a normal life expectancy, with friends and my loved ones, and a bit of respect.

I hope it’s not a big request.

We try to cut that off when and where we can. We're not perfect though, but thank you for being patient with us.

Tell you what, I’ll block you, then you can act high and mighty about being the defender of trans people.

I haven’t even touched that slur you used in the same sentence, calling people “criddlers.”

Really should have just blocked you from the get-go.

You’ve not actually said “sorry” anywhere. In fact, you mostly just defended your own terrible behavior and labeled yourself an ally, then requested an apology from me, the original wronged party.

Actually, you’re probably doing this on purpose.

You executed a perfect and flawless DARVO.

I didn’t say you’re a nazi and a fascist, I mentioned that you shouldn’t label trans people as an “other” cause that’s what fascists do. You’re prolly not a fascist, but the longer you drag this out and make it about your discomfort and your apologies, when me and my people have just been threatened with eradication, ain’t good.

Just back down, say sorry, and do better next time.

And no, it’s not just you; this whole American culture of refusing to apologize and double down in the face of obvious mistakes, is eventually gonna get people killed.

There's trans people and cis people. We're all normal.

It ain't a stretch, in this very thread, to say "jews" and "normal," considering the imexplications of genocide here.

Calling one group "normal" and casting out another group, is exactly what Michael Knowles wants to do.

Trans people are normal people.

Painting us as the "other" is what fascists do and that's what got us in this mess.

I live here and I don't feel protected or safe.

Same. I'm here and I'm terrified too. I was stabbed back in 2013 for transphobic reasons by a random stranger in public. It's a decade later and, well, things have gotten worse.

Moderaturtle approved, do this every time.

Also, report 'em to Reddit as scammers.

What?

Only cause I keep undeleting them with moderaturtle powers.

I’m the founder of the community, I know how Reddit works. Our dude there just got shadowbanned somehow and I’m giving him the knowledge to work around it.

It ain’t a scam.

Discord server, in the sidebar. Rigorously moderated, largely trustworthy, creeps not allowed.

re rule 2:

I don't think you quite understand what all we have to deal with as moderators. There are some absolute scum-sucking bastards out there ready to prey on people as young as fourteen.

The rule is the rule and I'm not changing it.

That escalated quickly. Kinda cringe, bro.

I wonder if that would change anything, or if it would just make my teen years even more agonizing cause I couldn’t do anything about it.

Second. I’ve put about 60ish hours into this game. I always like how the episodes have a complete arc including a denouement at the end, and yet still have cliffhangery, enticing bits for the next session!

There’s really good Spotify playlists that I use in my embedded headset for the soundtrack, and the whole game is fully voiced over with a complete cast, foley, and such. There’s a printed logbook in case the technology isn’t available in the future too.

Maybe thirty? I just recently set an encampment in the Visitor’s Homeworld, but I also did some revisiting a few times to planets I needed to hit up again.

https://i.imgur.com/tKLfPwr.jpg

I think I’ve put about 50, maybe 60 hours in?

Fuck Golfball as a planet. The whole place can go fuck itself.

I’ve been playing it about 20 hours a week and I think I’m about 60% through it, and it’s so damn good!

There's nothing graphic here, this is fine to post.

Gender non-conformity is inherently political, and one purpose among many of this subreddit is to normalize gender non-conformity and normalize femboys.

The two really can't be separated. We can't just sit here and want to dress up in skirts and oversized hoodies and not do anything about the people writing laws against us; that leads to a swift and sure end.

Since January 23, 2014, 7:30am. Every single day since then. It’s the most important thing in my life.

WHAT THE FUCK

WHY WOULD YOU TELL THIS TO CHILDREN

Strong shell and feets for marching!

Does anyone else notice they typoed the name of the game in the title, or am I just losing my mind?

Yup, I'm Tanis. I like it. It even survived transition.

Join the discord server, it’s in the sidebar. Lots of good, honest, accepting people there.

Cool, this is what I get to come home to after a day out and about.

Cis people can and do post in the trans subs. They do it to support their trans partners, to ask questions about what transition involves, and they do it to learn and grow. They don't get banned for doing this.

Femboys have their own communities, like this one, that non-femboys post into. For example, there was a masculine man who posted in here, mentioning that he had a crush on a femboy in his social circle, and he was gonna woo him and take him on dates and make him feel special and stuff. This is also good.

I don't agree with your divisionist bullshit and I'm speaking to you right now. That's one hell of a way to cite fuck-all sources that probably don't actually exist.

Let communities speak to and with each other.

Sincerely, the trans woman who has been moderating this subreddit for the past fucking decade, and has been doing it since she was a femboy

okay

those are some words in an order

Allow me to reassert myself.

You are creeping in the subreddit right now, by awkwardly asking "any fem boys into girl?? If so chat??"

You are probably planning to chat about gross things, and most of the people in this subreddit are minors.

This activity is forbidden by the rules.

The rule you have broken is Rule 2: No Creeping.

The text of Rule 2: No Creeping is this: "Do not ask for DMs, friends, dates, sex, or hookups. Posts that lead people to disclose personal information such as location will be removed."

You are breaking the rules.

You have broken Rule 2: No Creeping.

You have broken Rule 2: No Creeping by asking for DMs and chats.

You have done a bad thing.

What part of the "no creeping" rule do you not understand?

I managed to play it all in my lounge, provided I used the lid and the box to store components I temporarily banned from play, like minis that aren’t in use, and the ship book, and such like that. I had to be a little more economical with my table space.

The really frostrating thing ice that I can’t seem to get Endless Winter to pack in on this table.

Yup! With just two, the dice and supplies burn out so much quicker, it almost feels like bringing a full complement is mandatory.

Sometimes! It really depends on how many crew the mission calls for. Since right now my crew has a two card hand, one ability, and a varying set of dice, it’s not hard to track them all, for now.

The entire world concept of the XIII trilogy, and XV’s fashion design has resonated with me so hard that my entire wardrobe explores fashion concepts from those games. It’s amazing and I look damn good for it.

Whoa now, Slurms McKenzie doesn't deserve that insult!

Maintaining a really good server is a lot of hard work and a lot of tough calls. I wouldn't recommend it. Plus, you gotta grow that server from literally one person, into a thriving community.

If you don't feel like doing all that work, the server for this subreddit is in the sidebar.

Moderaturtle approved.

I just now saw this, and it made my day. :D

Goddammit, why would you tell this to literal children? There are people as young as 14 on this subreddit. Had you have read the rules, or the subreddit header, or the subreddit title, or the sidebar, or the FAQ, or any of the mod declarations at the top of the subreddit, or any of my other countless comments about this, you would see that this fucking shit isn't allowed and you're describing fucked up shit to children.

202 wins and counting, I’ve seen this too. Doesn’t come up often at all, but when it does, it sucks.

The story that Bloom told was so wonderful and resonated strongly inside me.

I change their sign most times I pass through there, and most of the time it works!

The part about the sex. Like, the before part and the during part and the after part.

I just finished the game and had an overpowering need to go hug the shit out of my wife.

Thanks so much for good lesbian feels and some tears. :3

Otherwise, once I adapted to the control scheme and expectations of the game, this thing goes super smooth. The finished goods must flow.

You’ve a typo in your tutorial, right at the first dialog box—“vising.”

Unrelated, but Bloom’s soundtrack and whole everything is just so good! I didn’t expect the game would be so heart-touching! :D

I’m married to my sex-indifferent wife, and our sixth anniversary was last month. I adore her.

I’m that 20%. I’m ace and sex-repulsed but very homoromantic. Sometimes trans women play all their cards at me and are disappointed when I don’t even react. I just want friends.

Also sorry for making your lives worse by me being the possibility that keeps the failure-to-launch scenario happening, but I’m also not gonna stop.

This pops up from time to time in my comment history. I’ll take a small apartment off Grand Avenue in Academia 4XX, please.

If you’re stuck, try to make any incremental change to the board.

Two columns clear guarantees victory if you don’t screw up; three columns clear is victory even if you screw up. Keep one column clear at all times. Failing that, keep a column with only one card in it. Worst case scenario is all columns full with the minor arcana slot full.

Don’t get excited about exiling a bunch of cards unless you get an empty column for it, or a clear path to an empty column.

Make sure every card you move has a good permanent landing place. If you disobey this rule twice, you’ve lost.

It’s okay to think; Zach does not time you. Planning is essential.

I kind of want to delete this, but the comments saved it.

When we moderate content, we do not seek permission to delete things that don't belong. We just do it.

Edit: you could have not made your comment, but here we are and you’re stuck with it.

All around you, gay and trans and bi and asexual people are simply existing, doing things like eating only the marshmallows in cereal, reading books on 25th century political intrigue, petting various dogs, and this is the one that seems to rustle a lot of jimmies: forming communities and safe places where they can just exist and enjoy some time. Damn shame that scared white straight dudes with guns keep trying to fuck it all up.

If you’ll excuse me, I have some cereal to, uh, sort.

Because I’m queer too, the owner is a friend of mine, and solidarity through these scary times is rough, and I hang out at that store and play Magic and board games quite a bit, and because I can personally vouch for the character of the lady I bought the PlayDate from, instead of from a random scalper or such.

Lots of reasons. It absolutely “maters.”

Just a plastic schleich turtle that lives on my desk.

But to be fair, there are a lot of turtles in this Turtlehouse.

This game informed my entire aesthetic. Most of my wardrobe has its roots in this trilogy in varying ways. I adore the entire concept of Final Fantasy XIII.
