    Gwindolyn from DS1 was a ladyboy, he also made an appearance in DS3, although has being vored by Aldrich.

    And then Miquella from Elden Ring is a ladyboy that loves radahn, a big beefcake looking dude.

    I’m pretty sure there was a ladyboy in DS2, although now I’ll be honest that I only played through that once.




  • My cat would have just asked for a Costco chicken.

    She likes cat food, and tuna in small amounts, but she will scream like she hasn’t eaten in weeks if she sees me with a Costco chicken.

    I buy them to make tinga or chicken salad, and she usually gets the wings because the crying breaks my heart.





  • If you don’t have good looks, that’s one thing, you can’t really change that.

    But then if you don’t look good and you can’t try to hold a conversation, that’s your problem.

    Learn to speak, it’s not hard. go talk to people and gain some confidence. All this talk about poor socialization or being unattractive and creepy just demoralizes people that I’m sure could actually make friends and meet spouses if they didn’t preemptively pull themselves out of the situation before they gave themselves the chance



  • I love when superstitions are obviously something some parents told their kids because the parent didn’t want a lot of noise after a holiday.

    “No, no chores today it’s bad luck, if you make too much noise someone could die” they say holding their head in their hands.

    “You have to be quiet and go to bed early on Christmas Eve so that Santa can bring presents” 30 minutes later the parents are quickly shoving presents under the tree.

    And kids will just run with that and not question why cleaning in the days after new years is bad luck, although they tend to figure out the Santa one pretty quick.





  • I think everyone should learn how to sharpen a kitchen knife at least.

    Dull knives are dangerous, and it really only takes an afternoon to get decent at sharpening a knife.

    Unfortunately there’s a lot of lore about knife sharpening, like how you need really fine grit stones, or a whetstone being the best, when in reality you can get a shaving sharp edge from a 20 dollar diamond stone from a hardware store. Sure, a 4000 grit stone will get you a mirror finish and a more refined edge that will last slightly longer, but even an 80 grit stone when used properly, will get you a good edge that will last for months without any other sharpening.

    It’s a single bevel.

    Sharpen the angled side at the proper angle, and remove the burr by flattening the smooth side of the blade on a decent diamond stone.

    I have my great grandfathers barber’s shears, and that’s how they’ve been sharpened for going on 100 years now. You need a stone wide enough for the whole blade, so that its uniformly flat, but other than that it’s pretty logical how they need to be sharpened.
