Kind of a hoser. Likes birds.
I suppose that's better than chimp-sized mice.

They didn't teach her in law school to read the fine print?

I just posted a bird butt shot, but sadly not a sandhill crane. Never have managed to spot one of those. I'll be sure to keep that in mind, though, and post more of my "fail" shots.

Ha, that IS silly. I was worried they'd changed the lyrics into something ridiculous but unforgettable, like my father changing the lyrics of "Di Madride noi siam mattadori" into a song about two old ladies trapped in a toilet stall. That was like 30 years ago, and it STILL pops into my head.

I'm not familiar with this character. Do I want to know, or will it ruin "Die Fledermaus" for me?

I think that one DID make it into Fallout 3. (But I think it's a good thing they couldn't get it for the first game. "Maybe" was the perfect choice.)

I worked my way through most of the 20th century, music-wise, in university, after a childhood spent listening to mostly what my parents listened to. The 1940s and '50s were my easy favourite. I'm glad Fallout is keeping that music popular. It'd be a shame for it to be forgotten.

Fully. For me, atmosphere-wise, that game was a whole SERIES of perfect choices.

I'm a Mac user who wants to play PC games, and do so on a nice big screen.
(I already do this with a docked Steam Deck, but if I didn't have that, I would get the Steam Machine. Might get it anyway, as my Steam Deck's power button keeps breaking.)

I'd love it if that caught on, but realistically, nobody outside Scotland knows what it means.

I'm glad you're in a good place with that, with being cool with all parts of yourself. I can't speak, of course, for all cis people, but I would say I'm in general comfortable with most aspects of myself, but I do let it bother me when other people aren't. Or when they make it their business.

Well, thank you. You know that goes both ways, right? I love where you've gone with your art and your career, and admire your thoughtfulness and insight.
I guess maybe I perceived myself as aggressive because I often felt like I had to fight for things. But maybe that's not what other people saw.

Oof, and I was SO aggressive back then! Though, there are worse things to be, as a female illustrator. Or as a woman. I've never been good at performing gender, anyway, and I can't say I'm a fan of all the policing. Or of this pressure to pick a side. I have masc and femme traits, so what, right?

I don't think I would like it much if my perception of my gender were tied up with shame, but who knows? Maybe it is, in ways I haven't considered. Considering what our environment actually IS, especially online, all sorts of crap must get into our thinking, and go unexamined.

That's a very good point. I suppose the surprise comes from anything positive coming from the way Leisure Suit Larry depicts anyone--but you're right. It doesn't have to be a positive depiction to resonate for somebody.

That wouldn't surprise me, if standards have changed. This flight WAS post-9/11. And it was probably NEVER a normal thing to let a passenger use one. That's the kind of perk you probably only get if you're somebody famous.

Oh, that must've been it! I knew there were secret beds. (I probably shouldn't be TOO butthurt I wasn't offered one, though. It WAS a long flight. The crew probably needed them.)

Oh, I forgot all about that! I never would've thought I'd see Leisure Suit Larry and somebody's trans awakening mentioned in the same breath.
