I’m a trans woman and generally nice person. I like video games, board/card games, Magic The Gathering, DnD, karaoke, tech stuff, and space stuff. I work as a computer programmer primarily using C# .NET. Not sure what else to say haha.

  • One quick voice training trick/tip to get you started.

    Simply take your tongue, and if able, place it on the roof of your mouth. Far enough to feel your muscles in the back of your neck tense up but also be careful to not choke yourself or anything. These are the muscles you need to keep tense. Now that you can feel which ones to target, simply drop your tongue back to a normal position while also keeping those neck muscles tense and then attempt to speak normally.

    If done correctly, you’ll find that you’ll talk softer. This trick demonstrates an example of resonance. It can be quick to pickup and use, but difficult to sustain. But that’s where practice comes in. ;-)

    Also don’t forget to drink water. It helps a lot during practice.

    Here, also, is my favorite voice training video that covers this trick in the “positioning” section: https://youtu.be/4AesESPasZw?is=KRJ1UpbHlQzAnj8m





  • I’m currently on Linux Mint, works pretty well out of the box. Steam games and indie games and even old windows game work (with lutris and/or bottles).

    However I should warn, I also have a Steam Link. It does stream, but depending on the game the framerate can get very laggy. I’m running on a RTX 2070 tho. Not sure I can recommend steam link on Linux yet.

    Everything else works great.













  • So basically, I was given my name haha. With permission from me of course. But at the time when I was just becoming aware that I’m trans I met some friends on VRChat. We would regularly hangout and stuff and the topic of names came up. I told them my now dead name and instantly my friend suggested the name “Allie”. So I just rolled with it and it stuck and I liked my new name. Which is strangely fitting since my avatar is part cat, like an Alley Cat haha.

    So yeah! Now I go by Allie now! But I’m probably gonna just use that as a preferred nickname and when I do my name change I’ll probably right down “Allison”. “Allie” for short. I’m also considering changing my middle name to “Nicole”. But we’ll see.

    I haven’t done my legal name change yet.
