Yes, but only if I miss or delay a dose. I take sublingual pills every 12 hours. When I take them on schedule things feel normal. If I forget to take them, I start to feel uncomfortable around 1h30m to 2h later. I become anxious and uncomfortably hot. I feel relief at that point because taking the late dose stops some specific unpleasant feelings.

In response to your questions, I don't think feelings are an accurate way to assess dosages. You have no way to consciously feel your own hormone levels directly. Every feeling reported in this thread is a second or third order effect of the hormones which is neither precise nor timely.

You use the coffee maker. Just don't put coffee grounds in it and it makes hot water. Its a bit slow but it does work. Or use the microwave, it works too.

yes... the supreme leader

Congratulations! I'm incredibly happy for you!

I am a binary trans woman who frequents women's stuff. The community claims to be inclusive of trans and non-binary people. I feel comfortable there, but I am concerned to read that multiple enbies feel unwelcome. I am going follow this thread and take your comments into account, to do what I can to make the community more inclusive and welcoming.

~~From the context Ada gave about thermal shock's comment, I don't think the mods took an unreasonable action based on the information they had at the time. But I think thermal shock is owed an apology at the very least.~~

Edit: changed my mind on the second part.

Wait, if dessalines is the main lemmy dev, who is nutomic? I've heard many things about nutomic, who is the user credited on the github. Are they different people or one person with two names?

In the us commas are the thousands separator not the decimal. The number is 12,000 or 12 thousand. The one point the article that said "12,00" is a mistake where they left off the trailing zero.

Wait is that a thing? Was a supposed to sign up for notifications somewhere? No one told me.

as if???

I started HRT about a year ago, so the experience is somewhat fresh in the mind. The main thing I would say is don't expect to feel much in just two weeks. The effects are cumulative, and take time to do much of anything.

It doesn't really feel different to be on estrogen. You can't actively feel your own hormone levels. The HRT made my brain feel much happier, but normal. Things just continued to feel normal, but a better normal. Even a new and good normal still feels like normal in the moment.

Since you're doing a short trial to see how your brain feels, take notes. Write a journal/diary, and have a close friend you talk to about how you're feeling. That perspective will help track mental changes.

Also have warm clothes close by. Women carry body heat in their cores at the expense of the extremities. HRT causes this in trans women too! You will probably feel colder than you expect, especially this time a year. Keep warm gloves, and cozy socks nearby.

Enjoy the estrogen! I love to hear you report back with your experience.

Yes, its a deliberate choice.

Dishonored is a descendant of the looking glass studio, 0451 immersive sim games, such as Deus Ex. These are games have flexibility, they let you choose how you approach. You can fight, or you can sneak, or you can do both. The game succeeds on this goal, as you can have a very satisfying time with the combat or the stealth, and you can do both. You can fight your way out of failing to sneak.

The morality system gives the game reactions to your actions, gives your choices an effect outside of the level you're currently on. It does encourage a specific play style but that is deliberate. The outsider is a malevolent force, who doesn't care for this world. He gives you these powers that come with a cost. Getting the good ending requires to resist the temptation. That's the point.
