Kiyamet cannot read:

Ban Israel too

First paragraph:

Iran will seek to bar US and Israeli ships from the Strait of Hormuz

BTW, dead thread bumped yet again by SharpX68K. Why? People either are idiots cheeleading Iran or know how terrible the situation is but don’t see anything to discuss beyond “shit is bad”.

Kazutaka Kodaka: We've announced that the game will be released in early 2027, so there is still some time to wait. In the meantime, please play RAIN CODE.

If you play RAIN CODE first, Danganronpa 2×2 will be 100 times more interesting.

There's more at the link, but that particular sentence sounds thread worthy on its own. I haven't played Rain code yet, but sounds like elements from that game could reveal a lot more about 2x2s new route.

The lowest effort thread imaginable, what the fuck does any of this mean? Fuck you moderator for your bad forum ways

ATLA aged so well that every single bit of political subtext in it is still based af today.

Hey Arnold taught me how to be a good person.

Kidding mostly, but also I'm actually really grateful that show existed. I remember being so moved by the Mr Huynh daughter episode. They certainly didn't shy away from mature topics. I don't really know what kids cartoons are like nowadays, but I hope they have something like Hey Arnold or even Rocket Power or similar.

 

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Not to put my age out there but I was Aang's age when the show was ongoing and I remember hating it for being boring. It was only coming back to it in my early/mid teens that I realised how great it was.

I was a similar age and yeah I was not in love with it at the time. I'd catch random episodes and thought it was another lame anime wannabe cartoon. It wasn't until I was in college I sat down and watched all of it and loved it.

As with Harry Potter, blue people Avatar maker James Cameron, or Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G, These are foundational texts for Era until the creator does a bad thing and then they "always knew," they were bad people. 

That's what happens when you base your morals around pokemon shows.

Yup so completely unplayable I've had zero issues since beta on my end. There are obvious issues people are having but making blanket statements like you are is just spreading false statements that muddy actual issues

I downloaded and tried one match online where it looked like I was playing underwater. Had to instantly refund it. A lot of big names from the FGC is blasting it's performance, hell, Sonicfox is literally saying the game being unplayable online on PC. A bunch of the big names from the FGC in Brazil are saying the same, with the agravante it's fucking BRL 400 here.

There's no blanket statement from me and you wash your fucking fingers before you type that shit to me.

It never ceases to amaze me that certain mod bullied AsianEra off the site during the height of anti asian hate in 2020. Truly a progressive enclave here.

Woah what?! details? Wtf did I miss...

People were already unhappy about the double standard in moderation when it comes to racist remarks against Asians (especially mainland chinese during the hk protest in 2019, some were really nasty). IIRC the straw that broke the camel's back was that a news thread about a hate crime against an asian grandma on a bus got locked for no reason. Then instead of addressing people's concerns, they banned more people in the community thread. A lot of the asianera members left after that.

I don't know anything about this one, but I totally believe it with how anti-China this board skews. This place really falls for almost all state sponsored messaging.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Hello patient readers. In a few of my last posts back in 2025 I mentioned struggling with some ‘other thing’ in the hope that some day I’d feel comfortable talking about it. Well, today is that day.

I’ve been battling anorexia nervosa since at least 2020. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when it started because it kind of snuck up on me. At first, it was compulsively exercising. The next symptom that came along was weighing myself multiple times a day. Eventually came restricting how much I ate. Last year, I started making myself throw up.

Things all came to a head last year when I collapsed from dehydration and over-exertion and had to take an ambulance ride.

That helped me realize how badly I needed help, and on January 8th, I was checked into Monte Nido Walden’s eating disorder clinic in Dedham, where I ended up spending the next two months.

Beyond the professional help I got from this, there were some other pros. I made some new friends. I got to ride out all those crazy storms in a place with round the clock staff and a generator. Overall though, this was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.

As you can see, this wasn’t a time for rest and recovery, but food exposures and endless therapy, with the occasional medical test or examination mixed in. I put the work in. I went to almost every group. I tried my best at every meal or snack, and gradually I worked my way through the program.

Access to my cellphone was limited to an hour or an hour and fifteen minutes a day. We did have free access to landlines, but I couldn’t use those to call my family overseas. Visitors were encouraged but had to be scheduled in between meals and snacks. As you progressed through the program, you were allowed to get taken out by trusted family or friends, so long as there was a therapeutic component to the outing.

So, for example, going to a restaurant would be approved as an exposure you couldn’t do within program. Similarly for me, going out to the cinema so long as I had a drink and a snack was seen as a good practice for something I do just about every week in my personal life.

Katy visited regularly and took me out on a number of outings. Other friends came to see me and took me out for a few hours as well.

Returning always felt so surreal. Like something out of Severance, albeit one where you can remember the details of both the inside and outside lives.

One of my biggest worries going into treatment was whether or not I would get to be myself. What I found was one of the most welcoming and accepting environments I have ever experienced. Staff and residents alike accepted me for who I am, and effortlessly used my pronouns. Throughout treatment people described me ‘a safe person’ and ‘approachable’ which given how transgender people get portrayed in the media, wasn’t something I expected or hoped to hear, and it was both surprising and uplifting.

That didn’t mean that things weren’t very challenging though. In order to shave my legs, I had to sign out my razor, and for the first few weeks I had to use it supervised. The staff were understanding, but it was uncomfortable for all of us.

Over the weeks though, I found my way, and earned more independence and trust as I learnt healthier ways to deal with the anxieties the world causes me. The treatment was multipronged. Renourishing was one key part, learning new skills another, and trying to unpack existing traumas another. By the time I left, I was better at tolerating food, better at tolerating anxiety, and less likely to get triggered by buried traumas.

Being discharged in early March, didn’t mean I was ready to return to work full time, or at all. Months of commuting (a one hundred and seventy miles round trip) to another treatment facility on weekdays followed. The treatment remained similar, but took up less of my time. By May I was cleared to return to work part time, and in July I returned to work full time.

I have restored weight and I am doing a lot better. I continue to regularly have nightmares. The world at large continues to cause me anxiety.

But the people and places around me that I directly interact with continue to lift me up and inspire me. My work supported me through all these trials which I cannot begin to express my gratitude for. Katy has been there every step of the way, and I can only begin to imagine how difficult it has all been for her. If you know her, please, show her all the love and appreciation you can. Not on my behalf, but because she more than deserves it.

I’m trying to live in the moment as much as I can these days. I have newfound appreciation for simple freedoms.

I’ve been putting off writing this until I felt like I was in a strong place to recommence sharing my journey. Having previously been unable to talk about such a large part of my challenges made doing it almost impossible, but I remain committed to talking about my life and helping give people one transgender person’s perspective on things.

TLDR: Eating disorder clinics are really welcoming places that you never want to find yourself in.

Maybe we should boycott them until they put a white trans mentally ill character in a wheelchair in their games?
