The only way to get kids to stop doing it is to have the adults get WAY too into it, it’s genius!

Probably not cause for concern then. The word “mania” gets thrown around a lot when it really just means people are feeling good and energetic. Especially if you don’t have a history of bipolar disorder, there’s no reason to be worried about good feelings!

Yeah mania’s great until it’s not, and it’s often not possible to tell if you’re in a manic episode until it’s gotten really bad. For me, if I’m feeling really energetic and talkative it’s something to monitor but not always cause for concern. If I start sleeping less then that’s more concerning.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. It’s not awful but that dungeon you keep returning to nearly ruins it.

I’m not trans and I’m pretty healthily confident in that, but I do use he/they pronouns bc I do like having access to my feminine/androgynous sides and being called they just makes me happy! I’m grateful these stories existed, both for me and others. They were pretty mainstream stories too!

The first sees a “boy” discover her gender was changed as a baby to hide her true identity as the princess of Oz, and the second has a girl transform into and out of an evil guy but she doesn’t know it’s happening. Neither are explicitly “trans” stories but I was fascinated by them as a kid.

Not a video game but two of the earliest trans stories I experienced in media were from The Land of Oz and the Bakugan anime.

It’s uncommon that a game makes me just THINK as much as Indika did. Not prescribe some particular view. Just explore thoughts and themes and leave you to make sense of it all.
That block puzzle with shifting perspectives was some BS tho…

I’m the same way, I loved Dispatch and Citizen Sleeper 2 this year largely for that reason but my ADHD gets too bad with too many guys to manage. I’ve found even Fire Emblem is too much for me lately, especially as I gain more fighters.
