    It's your good old friend Devil Town coming to you from the god-awful place know as the united states of america, where dreams go to die!

    I'm just having a full blown existential crisis, ya know how it goes. Hope to make people's acquaintances and generally be a nuisance as I question myself randomly in the middle of the night!

    ANYWAY, hope y'all are having a blast, I know I'm not :3

    Welcome to EC Devil Town! You've come to the right place for help with your existential crisis. I love to game too, especially the Metroidvania genre but still haven't got round to Hollow Knight. I'm currently playing Axiom Verge.

    As it happens, one of my children got me a copy for Switch at Christmas so it's just a case of working through the back log! Otherwise, yes, it would've been another game for the Steam wishlist and I'd wait for an insane sale!

    Devil Town…..Hello and a big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! :old_smile: I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that night that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you found us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give you support and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent! :old_wink: ) when that becomes necessary! This is a safe community of loving, caring and very supportive people and we will do our best to help you blend into the community.

    *****There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out, join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. When I first joined Empty Closets I was in need of a lot of support and encouragement and I found it here…EC is a safe place. I hope that you'll find good things here too! Folks here will talk to you and share...you don't have to be afraid of asking questions...we're glad to have you! Empty Closets is all about making connections and giving LGBTQ folks a voice when they otherwise don't have one in their day-to-day lives. :old_cool:

    *****In particular you may want to check out the forum that is titled "Gender Identity and Expression”, there are people there who may have dealt with some of the same kind of issues that could be challenging you.

    *****I'm sure that you have watched trans youtubers...but just in case, here are some favorites of mine that you might like: MtF: Victoria Rose, Riley J. Dennis, Renna Williams, Robin jaspers, Gigi Gorgeous.

    Some info on how to navigate EC: :old_confused:
    When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum:

    *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership.

    *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! :old_big_grin: If you have any questions at all, you can always send me a Private Message.

    Hey Devil Town!
    Welcome to ec. I live in Germany way over there, I'm also trans, at least one thing we have in common! Existential crisis, questioning in the middle of the night, woah. I have had them too, can't say they're fun for a bit. If you ever happen feeling like having a conversation about absolutely absolutely anything, be sure to hit me up... maybe get you some of that blast we're having? :slight_smile:

    I'm writing from an entirely different time zone, sorry for the lateness!
