traaaaaaannnnnnnnnnsHong Kong 97 is a bootleg Super Famicom "game" released in 1995. Designed by journalist Yoshihisa Kurosawa and developed by an anonymous Enix employee, this aggressively anti-communist and anti-Chinese shock project was made over the course of two days.
The game starts with a language select screen and a low bitrate 5 second clip of I Love Beijing Tiananmen that endlessly loops until you turn the game off. After language select, Mr. Business offers to sell your own original games and you get to keep a third of the profits. How generous! And then a message to dealers about stocking their game. Which yeah. The one thing this game doesn't lack in is audacity.
Above are the cutscenes that play every time before the game begins. I blurred the third image as it contains a pile of corpses that I'm assuming are real.
There's not much game to talk about; you move around and shoot PLA. You die on contact damage, if you're shot, or, if you somehow live long enough, chomped on by the disembodied head of Deng Xiaoping. Oh and when you die, you get hit with a digitized photo of an actual corpse. So yeah, either try not to lose, or, better yet, don't play the game at all and just look at the images I posted so you can think to yourself "what a terrible game I'm not playing"
Link to the rom CW: pictures of real corpses, awful game
Note: Deng Xiaoping was still alive in 1995 when this game was made, but he did end up dying in 1997. He was 90 in 1995 so that's not like a really out-of-nowhere prediction but still a little weird.

What is the difference between bayesian analysis and frequentist analysis?
::: spoiler example of misapplied frequentist analysis where bayesian analysis would be more appropriate
:::
The difference is frequentist probably has something to do with frequency, which is a word I know. I have no idea what bayesian could mean.
The classic example of bayesian analysis is testing for a rare disease.
Disease is present in 1 out 10,000 people (prior)
You take a test with 99% accuracy (if you have the disease it will identify it 99% of the time). This is the likelihood.
The test unfortunately has the effect that 3% of all people tested by it give a positive result. The test is too oversensitive. But better be oversensitive than under, right? This is your marginal likelihood.
Now if you take the test, and get a positive result, what's the chance you have the disease?
It's not 99%, or 1 out of 10,000. Both answers are wrong. 99% is the new evidence (your test result) that doesn't account for the old evidence (the population data). 1 out of 10,000 os the old evidence not accounting for the new evidence.
Only with Bayes theorem can you combine both evidence. Using the formula from my other comment, the result would be 99% * 0.01% / 3% = 0.33%
Only 0.33%! That's not a high chance. You have such a low probability of the disease because there's way more false positives from this test (3% of everyone) than real positives (0.01% of everyone)
Oooooh okay. I have heard this and seen the explanations before, just did not remember the name. I love this little quirk.
Bayesian is when you summon the spirit of Bayes to do your probability math for you. But the statisticians will tell you that Bayesian analysis is when you use Bayes theorem, which is a principled way of updating your past beliefs about a hypothesis with new evidence.
[Probability of hypothesis being true given data] = [probability of data being produced if hypothesis were true] * [probability of hypothesis being true] / [probability of data being produced]
The [probability of hypothesis being true] is your past belief about the hypothesis (called prior)
[probability of data being produced if hypothesis were true] is the average probability of seeing the data you collected given your hypothesis (called likelihood)
[probability of data being produced] is the average probability of seeing the data you collected given any possible random hypothesis (called marginal likelihood)
[Probability of hypothesis being true given data] is your new belief given the data you collected (called posterior)

I don't suppose anyone has any info bookmarked about transdermal vs rectal progesterone dosage/absorption/bioavailability?
I've seen a couple of spray recipes suggest a daily dosage of 6-15mg which seems rather low, given that you'd normally do 100mg or 200mg up yer bum.

::: spoiler Monday's post: Terrifying 9.11
I'm not sure if there's a better title for this series, but basically I'll be sharing unlicensed games that have political messaging relevant to the time the game was made. I was originally going to focus on console games but there's exactly one old Windows game I wanted to include so whatever.
Terrifying 9.11 is a bootleg Game Boy Color game developed by Ruanxin (based out of Fuzhou, China) and released sometime 2002 (or possibly end of 2001). The game opens with a video montage of the planes hitting the twin towers while a chiptune rendition of Shir LaShalom plays. Pressing start brings up a little story crawl about 9/11 and the plan to send super soldiers into Afghanistan. Pressing start again opens a map screen and again into an exchange between Bush and Bin Laden. And then finally... Metal Slug. It's a Metal Slug port. A surprisingly decent one!
:::
Was given another monitor like 6+ months ago. Finally put together the stand like three weeks ago. Let it sit on my desk not working for three weeks. Go to mess with it. Unplug and replug the hdmi cable. Got it working last night. Had to fix the settings and now its finally working.
This timeline is so real one inconvenience sets me back months lmao

::: spoiler spoiler ::: spoiler passive suicidal thoughts, dysphoria Fully sick of my shitty little life.
I literally just blame how I look for like 80% of this.
Oh well. There's nothing I can do but suffer. Until hopefully I can come out and put effort in. And hopefully that's enough (and I'm even able to!) or I can gather the courage
I wish I could have someone, and look good, and not feel like killing myself all the time. :::
::: spoiler spoiler
Realistically speaking? Putting in the effort will make you at least close enough to conventionally attractive that you could find someone.
Also realistically speaking? The courage will come in bursts. Step by step.
Even more realistically speaking? The whole process fucking sucks. I wish they made a vaccine for SBS (stupid b*tch syndrome) 😭. I need it so badly.

::: spoiler spoiler ::: spoiler suicide, dysphoria I should actually kill myself instead of constantly suffering and bitching and whining.
Nothing is going to work. Why do I keep subjecting myself to this. Literally day after day. I am tired of feeling dysphoric constantly. Alone. Depressed. Life is and has been miserable.
I need it to stop. To rest. To fade away. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of nothing working. I'm tired of barely being functional.
Fuck all of this.
The point of life is to enjoy it. and I have not. And I will never be who I want to be.
Why can't I actually do it. I am so done. I wish I could actually do it. To never have to suffer again. Never spend another day being a miserable piece of shit.
How is it already too late. How has my life already been ruined, consumed.
I am sick of living with this god awful condition. Please please please I just need to actually kill myself. Life is not for me. All because of some stupid fluke A WOMAN BORN IN A DISGUSTING MANS BODY :::

How to soft launch girlmoding to my friends
God do I even wanna girl mode around them. I don't want to boymode either. I want it to be cold and wear hoodies and shit
Wear a simple T and let your boobs slowly become prominent. Pull your pants up to your belly and tuck the T in to emphasise the feminine aspects of your figure.
::: spoiler A coat with an elastic waist thing can further help.
:::
Basically, you can use simple tricks to feminise your outfits in a slow way to make yourself more comfortable around your friends and make the transition less jarring.
As for the psychological part of girlmoding? Drink alcohol.
Bit woke but I heard that people of all genders are allowed to wear hoodies now.
More practically, maybe you can start pushing your wardrobe a bit more fem? Start switching out individual "mens" articles for equivalent "womens" or "unisex" (quotes because all clothes are, in fact, unisex). Start wearing a little makeup if you like and get your hair looking really good? YouTube tutorials will help you. A pronoun badge might be helpful during the transition period.
Probably just do it. Put on the clothes and go do something with your friends.
I think you should just tell them you're trans and just do it. If they're really your friends it will be like nothing happened
They already know I'm trans. They aren't the most supportive. Not like I have anyone else though.
Then just do it, really. If they don't respect you, then they don't deserve you
My leg got sore in the injection spot from today. No bruises, or anything but it is mildly painful when walking
Maybe hydrating before your injections will help? I guess it could soften up the fat and improve penetration?
I've been getting this quite consistently lately - I have a lump in the injection spot on both ass cheeks. Do you feel a lump? Apparently it could be that you're becoming slightly allergic to the carrier oil, and the solution to that is to switch to a different kind. I think in my case it's that I'm at the end of my last vial from a set of 3 and something in there has degraded and become a rather concerning orange colour.

I already lost my mind.

They don't give time off from being a person though. Full time job.

It's the 20th anniversary of Persona 3, the best game ever made.
Crazy how time flies~
Reload is good
I've only played Persona 4 Golden and I bounced midway. This was when I was first transitioning and I was extra sensitive to a certain character's storyline which came off as forced detransition to me. Sucks because I really enjoyed it up to that point.
What's your favorite version of P3?
Ahh, I can understand that character's arc feeling weird all things considered.
::: spoiler Persona 4 Revival speculation, no spoilers past where you stopped playing I'm curious how the dialogue and imagery for Naoto's dungeon will change. Given the slight changes we've seen to Kanji's shadow (now holding male and female symbols), I'm sure it'll be revised at least a bit. The idea behind Naoto's story was to take on misogyny faced in the workforce. I think the bones of that story are good and already present in her story, but the framing of certain parts should be tweaked a bit. The most egregious example being the final floor of the dungeon.
Hopefully, the original intent will be more clear in the remake. Fwiw I do like Hashino and his team's writing, but it's not surprising that things got a bit messy when they tried to take on a topic like this lol. :::
What's your favorite version of P3?
That's a very complicated question
They're all pretty different and good for their own reasons. My recommendation to everyone now is to play Reload, but my favourite will always be the original release (before FES). It was my introduction to MegaTen and got me through some tough times. I don't think it's the version people should start with, but watching some footage recently made me unexpectedly emotional. I'm appreciative of what it did for me.
::: spoiler P4 The added context does change things a bit. I can see how the story was heading that way, at least what I remember, but yeah, it wasn't handled well. Interesting Kanji changes, I'm interested to see where things go with the... remaster? Remake? Not sure what it is exactly lol. I might give it another chance if my PC can handle the remake. :::
I was interested in Reload but I didn't think it'd work on my old pc. Checked the system reqs and it looks like it will actually so I may give it a shot after all! Otherwise I was thinking of the PSP version so I could play as the girl but I know they made some sacrifices to get it in there.
Really awesome that the game helped you out like that! I love how powerful media can be when it enters your life at just the right time.

i think my wh40k interest (spiked thanks to Rogue Trader) is taking me into a bad place now. I was just looking at a Howling Banshee squad and was thinking "eh that's not that much money."

making nerd shit cost so much is transmisogyny
I've seen among my circle that a decent 3D printer quickly pays off when you're into 40K, but prints take forever if you want them to be high enough quality.
For sure, if we rly got into 40k wed def ask if anyone we know has one and/or get one
A friend of mine made very good experiences with bamboo lab. Her smurfs look very decent, although they do have a bit of the "dusty" look that you get from borders between the printing layers.
I wonder if there's a rom floating around..

Thanks!
When you say it's metal slug, is it a reskin or is it actually just one of the metal slug games with that extra cutscene?
It's actually like MS (as close as you can get on gbc anyway), most like a truncated version of MS1 arcade. If it didn't have the cutscenes this could've been an official port imo
aw yea that new thread smell
When this was released, where would you have actually bought a copy?
This version was released in Taiwan. Another version with Chinese text was released in the mainland under the name 特種部隊2 基地 (Special Forces 2 Base)
That makes sense, it didn't seem like something that would be for sale in America.
