After seeing «About Fishing» I wanted to try my hand on photo texture low poly modelling as well. So far I like what I got. There is still a lot to do before I can implement this character in a game : /
I finished modeling and texturing the outfit. It looks pretty cute, though I have to admit: In these screenshots it looks like a medieval rag. But the shoes – they shine. See, she doesn’t look run down.
since this is going round again i really want to state how much i truly do not need hair loss prevention advice. this comic is not about that. this comic is about learning to be okay with maybe getting bald. this comic is about how balding can be sexy. its okay. kim is here to help
I made a game about the struggles of getting ready in the morning.
It features mixed media, a funky soundtrack, and words … in 3D space.
If you haven’t played “Ohayo, Merle” yet, go give it a try. It is a short 10 minute mood piece that conveys the feeling of getting lost in your social media feed.
Set Yourself on Fire is now available on Steam.
A linear visual novel.
A quiet town awaits death.
Stagnation is the default state of being.
Two aimless young women fall in love.
I started playing this, and it is really stunning what was achieved within the the framework of Ren’py here. The mood is very melancholic and the conversations between the two protagonists are intriguing. The writing manages to accomplish an interesting back and forth between the two. The thoughts are well balanced between the angsty and depressed view teenagers sometimes have, with genuinely deep insights of the human existence – which makes those two girls sound rather convincing as characters to me.
I love seeing 3D in visual novels and the framing of the text and the videos is just very effective.
in absolute tears about the pride module at my work
HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY
Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work...
Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you're the only big account I know who might share (sorry).
holy shit, just got home, and there's thousands of messages from people asking how they can download this since I posted this morning (!?!)
guys I've done a super rushed submission to spotify and apple music on the off chance this somehow accidentally slips past their profanity filters (unlikely but would be hilarious if it does)
But god this cannot go viral. Please don't make this my legacy guys. Imagine having to explain this one to my grandparents.
AGFDKLGDFK IT GOT ACCEPTED BY SPOTIFY 😭
THIS IS SO FUNNY.
Also because so many people have been asking It's also on Youtube until they inevitably nuke it from existence, or you can just download it straight from tumblr Sorry I haven't gotten to all your very kind DMs but, yes yes yes you absolutely can play this at your club, drag show, or even more than one of you have asked if its okay to play it at your wedding. Please for all that is holy, send video if you do.
Now I'm going to go lie face down on the floor.
We weren't gonna reblog, because well *gestures*, but then you said you didn't want this to become your legacy and as an Australian it's therefore our sworn duty to ensure it absolutely 100% does.
Also the song slaps.
(Big language warning, in case the big word 'slur' wasn't a dead giveaway)

1. Progesterone: not for everyone, but for many people it may increase sex drive and WILL make your boobs bigger. Also effects mood in ways that many find positive (but some find negative). Most doctors won’t prescribe this to you unless you ask. Most trans girls I know swear by it.
2. Injectible estrogen: is more effective than pill or patch form. Get on it if you can bear needles bc you will see more effects more quickly.
3. Estradiol Cypionate: There is currently a shortage of injectible estradiol valerate. There is no shortage of estradiol cypionate. Functionally they do the same shit.
4. Bicalutamide: This is an anti-androgen that has almost none of the side-effects of spironolactone or finasteride. The girls I know who are on it are evangelical about it.
Are there HRT medications that don’t increase blood clot risk? I’m already at risk because of my blood pressure, and my doctor won’t prescribe HRT that increases clot risk while I’m on the medication - and I may never not be on the medication.
Absolutely.
The concerns surrounding venous thromboembolic events as a side-effect of hormone replacement therapy can mostly be traced back to one particular study known as the Women’s Health Initiative. This study was an enormous undertaking which, unfortunately, demonstrated significant adverse effects of the hormone therapies studied. As a result of this the use of hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal cis women was dramatically reduced as the medical community began to question whether or not the therapy caused more harm than good.
Naturally, trans women have been suffering from this fall-out ever since.
What physicians seem to fail to recognize is that the study examined a very specific hormone regimen which was, arguably, outmoded at the time the study was conducted: It examined the use of conjugated equine estrogen (Premarin) with or without the use of medroxyprogesterone acetate. Neither of these drugs is regularly used for the treatment of transgender women.
The estrogen most commonly used to treat transgender women nowadays is 17β-estradiol either in pill form or in the form of a sticky patch that you apply to your skin. Esters of estrogen (e.g. estradiol valerate) are also sometimes used either in a pill form or as an intramuscular injection.
Transdermal estradiol patches are the gold standard when it comes to treating women who are at high risk of a venous thromboembolic event. It simply does not increase the risk of developing a venous thromboembolism. The only thing you should keep in mind is that patches are not always well tolerated because of the lifestyle changes required to keep them from falling off and the fact that they tend to irritate the skin.
Fortunately, oral 17β-estradiol appears to be safe, regardless of the increased risk. At least one large study has shown that the use of oral estradiol in trans women is not associated with venous thromboembolic events. An individual woman’s risk would need to be substantial in order to contraindicate the use of oral estradiol.
For those who have significant risk of venous thromboembolism because they have had a previous thromboembolic event, because they are paralyzed, or because of some other factor it is good to know the relative risk between oral and transdermal estrogen. The latest research indicates that the use of transdermal estrogen lowers your risk of a thromboembolism to 80% of what your risk would be using oral estrogens.
It’s difficult to find hard numbers regarding the relative risk of venous thromboembolic events with regards to hypertension. The best I could find after an hour or so of searching was this study regarding VTE in lung cancer patients. Hypertension increased the risk by a factor of 1.8.
However, to put that into perspective being of African descent increases your relative risk for deep vein thrombosis by a factor of 1.3 when compared to Europeans. Europeans are, themselves, at increased risk when compared to Asians and Pacific Islanders by a considerable margin: a four-fold increase.
I should point out that being ‘male’ is also a risk factor for developing a thromboembolism and hormones are likely to be a contributing factor. Also, menopause is another serious risk factor. Given this information it is likely that the use of transdermal estradiol will lower your risk of thromboembolic events significantly.
As far as the anti-androgen is concerned: The primary use for spironolactone for cisgender people is as an antihypertensive.
Even if the risk of thromboembolism was truly significant with modern hormone replacement therapy it wouldn’t justify what your doctor is doing to you. The fact is that mortality in the transgender community from suicide–caused in part due to the lack of access to hormone therapy–is substantial. The quality of life lost when a trans woman is denied hormone therapy is substantial. The fact that your doctor does not appear to be taking this into consideration when they weigh the risk of thromboembolism against not receiving necessary medical care is deeply concerning.
I strongly recommend that you seek a doctor who is more sensitive to your medical needs as a transgender woman.
Edit: Fixed a minor, but embarrassing, error.
oh wow this is so helpful & good info
Everyone who cares about transfem people please reblog this
this was really fucking helpful
I know a lot of trans women dont have acess to information like this and its very helpful.
