Lovin' every minute of it.

Wikipedia posted:

The game's premise is that J.J. Macfield, the player character, is searching for her friend and love interest Emily after she goes missing on a camping trip. After J.J. is struck by lightning, she cannot die and must inflict grisly wounds on herself in order to solve the game's puzzles. Throughout, players unlock text messages that reveal her backstory and her motivation for her self-harm.[1]

yeahhh

honestly the most painful part for friends (and heck, me too) was actually not the self-harm stuff but the story, which involves a very real-feeling interaction between the main character and her mom, and since I'm listing this as a LGBT+ game you can probably guess what it's about

First breakups suck. Especially when you’re the one who has to break it off and you still love them. It’s the loving worst.

i really liked The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories but it's... intense... and has made at least one of my trans friends cry (though she loved it anyway), so yeahhhh

e: in case anyone's never heard of it, it's a game that's basically about solving puzzles through self-harm, so maybe steer clear if you're not super comfortable with that :v:

Kathy rain is a fun point and click that isn't queer but is extremely female focused and feels feminist.

Oh. . .
Dropping $800 for flights to the girlfriend's family in bumblefuck PA for thanksgiving is real great. Fun events include being referred to as her "roommate" by extended family after five years, and her deep closeted cousin trying to crawl out of his skin after making eye contact. Also being extra careful not to touch her when we leave the house so as to not trigger random chuds. I would pay many more cash dollars to make thanksgiving not a thing because this poo poo is exhausting.

my partner and i just plain quit going to family holidays, it's not worth the stress. our families aren't even that far away (we're in Chicago and they're in SE Wisconsin) but it's been a lot better just visiting our local friends instead.

a great thing about adulthood is that you don't have to maintain relationships with toxic people, family included
honestly just stop going if it's terrible. what's the worst that will happen? you can do something nice with your partner or friends instead

depends where you are.
for your research, you prolly want Alexandrite or Nd:YAG laser. don't do IPL.
it can be really good to check Groupon for deals, as it can be expensive.
I haven't done groupon (yet anyway), but am thinking about it for other body spots. the face laser work I've got done cost ~$2000 cad in a "buy 4 get 1 free" thing, but they were trans friendly and it was really effective. I only really need some smaller area touchups, and what's left is barely visible

oh yeah that's another important big thing to look out for, quite a few of the laser treatment places won't treat anyone who's not like, a cis woman, and i've heard plenty of horror stories of people making an appointment, coming in and being all "oh we don't treat your kind here" :sigh:

Mine cost about $1700 for ten sessions in Seattle, which seems lower than other people are reporting. It was a package deal thing. The company doesn't post prices on their website, either, so I can't tell if I got some kind of weird price.

I paid 2500 for 9 sessions in Madison Wisconsin so that's probably gonna be more iospaces range

my SO bought me 6 face laser sessions at a clinic in center city Philly for $512 on Groupon. If I decide to go back eventually (for now I'm continuing to do home tria laser on the remnants) they also said they'd honor their current Groupon prices for the package again. they also offered free wine with each session but I turned that down each time cuz I was always on old percocet from my last surgery to numb things up lol



for anyone who cares, the place is called Metro Laser. it's also a place that the local lgbt resources explicitly note as being trans friendly and that's no lie - even tho I chose to present as a cis dude so that didn't particularly matter.
