Sorry for the late update. Was in a bad mental state last night. I think this will be the last edit.

Before you say anything, while you might think this isn't an unlicensed game, technically since there's no encompassing and enforced licensing system on the PC, all PC games are unlicensed. think-about-it

Under Siege is a PC game released in 2004/2005 that tells the story of a Palestinian family during the Second Intifada. Yeah it isn't exactly an obscure game, but I wanted to end my series with a game about shooting fascists rather than interacting with their underbaked brainworms. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work so I have no personal opinions about the game itself.

The game can be downloaded here https://www.myabandonware.com/game/under-siege-gcg

Here's a few bonus NES games:

MiG-29: Soviet Fighter: You play as a Soviet pilot on a mission to defeat the World Terrorist Army ( amerikkka ). Plays a lot like Afterbuner

Tunnel War: A action video game adaptation of a 1965 Chinese film about a small village building a tunnel network to defend against a Japanese invasion during the Second Sino-Japanese War

Allied Death Squad: A port of the PC title "Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines", it's an action strategy game where you play as allied soldiers killing nazis and escaping their prison

Lin Zexu - No Smoking:
A beat-em-up about enforcing China's opium ban

spoilerVoice training takes a lot of effort. I have a background in music and it's about as much effort as learning how to play in a decent amateur band on a new instrument. That's achievable for almost everybody, but it takes a bit of time and daily practice and a lot of people will find themselves not willing to put in that practice, especially when it involves regularly recording yourself and confronting your voice dysphoria, which just hurts many people severely. I get that some never get over that hurdle just because of that particular aspect.

The end results can be really impressive, but when i did voice training (with an actual speech therapist, it's fortunately covered by healthcare in my country), i came to a point where i just had a major breakdown because i realized that the voice that was most achievable and most cis-passing for me was one that did not fit the kind of woman i am at all, that the trick for me was to just take all the pressure out of my voice and lower the volume and become totally hushed and meek and docile and i just broke down right there in my therapist's office because ... that's not me. I've spent so much time thinking about where my place in this world is, i've found so much comfort in being this strong, butch, maternal woman that always stands up for her sisters and dares to make a fuss. Really took effort to arrive there when it's so much harder for a trans girl to pull this off because so many of these traits lead to people calling my femininity into doubt. And that contradiction just was too much for me.

I do have fairly decent results, i absolutely sound different than before, but when my friends and me play some VN or RPG together in voice chat and voice act different characters together, i'm the one who can still switch back into a stereotypically male register without hurting her voice whereas several of my friends just can't do that anymore without being in pain after a few minutes. I'm not a fan of doing the sudden voice drop party trick among cis people, but with my trans friends i'm really comfortable with playing around with that kind of androgyny. It's part of the whole butch thing for me.

Slightly off topic for this thread but I wanted to say I love this so much and I really appreciate you for it. it's something I've noticed as I try to find my voice, both figuratively and literally.

Yea pretty much how it is for a lot of trans women, fucking hate it, fucking hate voice training, fucking kill me

spoiler suicide

Yea I probably will just actually kill myself over voice training. I can't do that level of effort when it's like this, and to not even end up where I need to be. I literally may as well start planning. There is no point in living with a mutilated voice. :::

spoilerOh yeah this is a really good point I'm like a high powered professional/subject matter expert in my day job and I already get less noticeably respect since transitioning, so having a commanding voice is useful (I'm so much more louder too than prior to transition when I would mumble dysphorically).
