I was gonna say.

For a game like Fortnite for example reuse of assets is vital to make the constant updates possible - without that steady flow of changes the user base pretty sure would dwindle fast (as already regularly is the case at the end of their "chapters" and "seasons"). They have to balance old and new parameters a lot to not alienate any/or bore their customers - not the easiest thing to do according to their fan forums... :D

Thanks for the answer! Stealth indeed includes/means total integration into something, you're right. And I'm happy that your transition has this great effect for you!

Another question: Does your husband know? And if so, how did you and he "handle" this information? (Sorry if my wording may sound weird sometimes as English isn't my mother tongue).

Is it really "stealth" you wanted to write? I'm of the impression that a full transition is the opposite of being hidden and undercover. Genuine question, I'm interested in the mindset. You are a woman - is there an aspect about that that needs to be hidden now?

And: How are you now? Is there any "aftermath" of your life before transition, any connections to the life before? 20 years is a long time so a lot of connections may get lost and forgotten.

Ich habe mich in den letzten zehn Jahren durch einige solcher Apps und Websites durchgeklickt und fand und finde es tatsächlich meistens sehr unterhaltsam.

Es wird halt viel geboten, viele interessante Charaktere und Bilder sind zu bestaunen (nota bene: Interessant ist nicht nur schön und nett, da gibt es auch hin und wieder das Gegenteil), und Sex und Beziehungen findet man dort tatsächlich auch. Unter anderem habe ich dort eine meiner besten Freundinnen kennengelernt (die Freundschaft blieb, nachdem wir festgestellt hatten, dass uns der gemeinsame Sex nicht dauerhaft faszinieren konnte). Ach ja, und faszinierende Einblicke in die bunt schillernde Welt der Kinks waren auch dabei - die Parties sind echt spektakulär, allein die "Kostüme"... Irre, echt sehr wild und wunderschön teilweise.

Will sagen: Mit der richtigen Einstellung und einer gelassenen Herangehensweise ist das durchaus einen Ausflug wert. Wenn es keinen Spaß macht, sind die Accounts und Apps ja schnell wieder gelöscht (immer pseudonyme E-Mail-Adressen verwenden, klar).

We all blocked that dude. Life is so much better without idiots.

What a story... Thanks for being that open and for informing about this condition. Never heard of this before your post. Please publish an update in a year or so if the twins let you get enough sleep ;)

I wish you and your family all the best!

Thanks. I didn't get it, too.

It's Heilbrunn. The title is missing one letter "r".

"It's a price, not a fine."

Yep. Like that guy who bought an old english building protected by conservation law and destroyed it to build a modern house. Had to rebuild the pub until the very last stone and was made to pay for that very costly effort.

Nothing about this looks right, start with the tracks on the edge of that decline, the environmental impact especially longterm, the safety of the workers...

It's ugly.

Yep, that's my biggest gripe, too. "As vast as an ocean, as deep as a puddle", is the notion I heard about it. Applies to all procedurally produced worlds I've seen. Doing more different would be a great effort for the devs, probably too expensive.

I'd suggest having community designed worlds (with enough regulations and filtering to avoid the unoccasional swastika and the likes).

Yep. It could indeed become integrated as it already somehow is, at least over here in Germany: If you are in end of life care the doctors will help you with a lot of medication to painlessly die. In that stage nearly nobody suffers anymore.

Just change the guidelines a little bit, find medical staff who are sympathetic to the cause, and a lot of suffering will be no more.
