I came out a few weeks ago on Facebook as trans but still didn't bother to make a similar declaration here as well. So yeah, this is it. It's been about 6 months or so since I made this actual decision, and came out slowly to a few friends and family I knew wouldn't react negatively, until finally making it known to the world at large (at least my little section of it) on Facebook two weeks ago. I'm still not out at work, and am still not presenting female all of the time. I've changed my name/pronouns on Facebook, so don't be afraid to use those! This coming Tuesday i'm going to see a doctor and hopefully start hormone treatment. Other than that, and the fact that i'm growing my hair out, I don't really know what the fuck i'm doing in regards to my transition specifically. It's a slow process, but it's an ongoing one. Here's the letter I sent out to people better explaining where i'm coming from if anyone cares to read it. Also, here's a pic from last week. The hair is (obviously) a wig, but i'd absolutely love to have my actual hair at a similar length. So yeah, there's my story.

C. loves the book, by the way! It was one of her earliest words to request it: "HA-too."

We had a thread about gaming regrets at DBZ Center way back, I think maybe Dez started it... that sounds about right. Surely we all have things we regret, whether it's money wasted on shitty games, games we missed out on because of decisions that are questionable in hindsight (ie, picking one console over another), games we were late to the party on, the list goes on. And a lot of time has passed since we last looked back on our regrettable decisions, so those of us who responded to the original thread probably have new regrets to share. Of course it's perfectly fine to rehash the old regrets too I'll get the ball rolling: Even though I still for some reason have a soft spot for the Game Gear, I wish I hadn't agreed to give away my Game Boy + games in order to get a Game Gear. That damn colour screen was just too tempting

Trading in my PS1 RPG's for new PS2 games when I was 15. We're talking about Suikoden II, Valkyrie Prfoile, both Lunar's, ect... As for a buying regret, Fable will be the biggest one for me. Bought the game at full price and 100% the game in 12 hours....

Decided to share photos of last effortfood I photographed. geddit it's a big mac

This is probably my most wanted game right now... feels like the first huge improvement in gameplay and physics interactions in gaming since HL2 probably. Can't wait for June!

I'm a proud owner of Prickly Hedgehogs and have read it to Milo dozens of times. Fantastic work, Jane!

Like I did on the Center, I'll come here to tell you all the cool things I've done/changed around officially. Created widgets for Top Posters and Top Forums (like the days of old) for the portal. Took me a while because I had to learn this shit from scratch. Created a widget called Quick Links for the portal with links to various places our members are part of. I will keep updating it with things anyone wants to add. Let me know. Fixed the fancy URLs after I broke it. Your bookmarks should be working again. Woops. I've changed the text color selector to the old color wheel but the catch is...the current one is cached in your browser and you'll have to clear the cache to see it. I tried like hell to figure out how the fuck to version it but it is SO ingrained in the board that you're just gonna have to do that. IF you're not sure how to do that, google it. I am going to keep trying to figure out how to do that so it updates for everyone. Set the name switching to 1 time every 60 days. If you derp, PM me and I'll fix it but for the most part, let's keep it reasonable. I hate when people change names. On that note, there are lots of new profile fields now. USE THE ALIAS FIELD. Some of us don't know what your new names are. I've also added lots of gaming and chat related profile fields as well. Go nuts. I've now created lots of plugins to take care of all the little edits to this and that old thing. This should, again, make it easier for me to keep the board updated. Next test I'll be doing is an upgrade to 4.4 as we're on the newest 4.3.x line right now. I fully expect shit to break. Created several posting ranks for various post counts. We can make a fun topic to choose them all from here though. I'm not attached to it. I have re-created the Serious Business skin for this board. I've also made several small edits to make things look right (like getting rid of the circle avatars everywhere and adding borders where needed). Created Vote and Intensify buttons for the editor. I'm still working on making vote work the way it did in the old days. Will update as we go. If anyone has feelings on what buttons are available on the editor at various screen sizes, let me know. I can add buttons to the mobile view if you want them. I tried to keep it relatively simple for now. That should cover most noticeable things I've done since the forum opened. I've got a few things to tweak and I'll update again when I finish things.
