You and like two of the other people I follow have convinced me to get into Postal thru the fanart but i. Do not know where to start. Also Google keeps trying to tell me about USPS

alright! uhh let me start off by saying Postal Was Made To Be Shocking. 1 and 2 were both made to stir up reactions, and though the first one was very serious, 2 was made in 2003 with a lot of offensive humor. there are racial stereotypes. there's perhaps excessive sexual humor. there's any number of OTHER stereotypes. you've got to be at least passingly aware of this before you go in.

All this being said: you can start with basically any of the games! Postal 1 is drastically different in tone, and had a relatively recent remake, Redux, which changes a bit of the gameplay but overall is the same game at its core. After 1, all the games start building on the prior ones and being a bit self-referential. I'd consider 2, plus its Apocalypse Weekend and Paradise Lost DLCs to be the best of the games from a sandbox perspective. You can do all kinds of goofy shit there. If you just want to run around doing crazy things nonstop, 2 is good for that.

I have not played 3. I do not intend to. It is a buggy mess and purportedly not fun. Reviews/vicious mockeries of it are entertaining, but I'm not too sure you'd want to play it.

I have not played 4, but it looks like 2 but with slightly better graphics and a different plot. And the Bitch isn't there!! unfortunately kunny is and i HATE kunny so theres that

1 is a top-down twinstick shooter. move with one set of keys, fire with the mouse. The story is significantly more dark than the other games, but also less presented to you. There's some digging to piece it together. TLDR: Dude gets evicted from his house and is convinced everyone in Paradise is infected by some manner of hate plague. Trying to find someone to get rid of it, and opportunistically culling the infected while he's at it.

Brain Damaged is my favourite, mostly because of SOMEONE that the existence of was not known until full release. It's a boomer shooter, which is to say, it's a linear FPS with an emphasis on movement and weapon variety. Every gun is unique, the enemy variety is massive compared to the other games, it's a lot of fun. My only complaint: not enough story, not long enough. I could've played a twenty hour campaign. Probably for the best there wasn't one. Still, I long for DLC.

The NOVEL is perhaps the worst book I've ever read. Very entertaining. I'd read it again. The MOVIE is perhaps the worst movie I've ever seen. It's a faithful adaptation of Postal, but Dude is sort of a side character in his own movie, which. Is very funny, I'll admit, and he's pathetic, so I give him points for that. He meows. I had to employ the use of my slur counter for liveblogging that thing.

CORKSCREW RULES is a russian mod for postal 2. Plot: dude (shtopor petrovich) gets unwanted bottom surgery while passed out and since he's a porn star, has to go on a quest to get his junk back. POOSTALL ROYALE is an april fools game which I am unable to play, due to something about the graphics not liking my laptop.

I haven't done that good a job of telling you where to start, huh. Well, take your pick from this and have fun, as best you can.

Thinking about “trans women/fems never pass while trans men/mascs pass fine, they just get carded all the time” sentiments and just. It’s so weird to acknowledge that we frequently look way younger than we are but act like that doesn’t have anything to do with how hard it is for us to pass. Lou Sullivan’s chapter about passing is called “How to Look 30 When You’re 30.” I’ve noticed myself getting misgendered more instead of less now that I dress in professional men’s clothes instead of more androgynous casual clothes — I’m more believable as a very butch woman than a guy who in work clothes who looks 14. Yeah I’ve gotten perceived as a slightly fem teenage boy. But I also get perceived as a very gnc woman. It just depends on context; if any of it indicates I’m an adult it’s really, really hard for me to pass as a 5’0 trans guy with an androgynous voice and asian/baby face.

[ cw: trauma / mind control / separation anxiety / autophobia / ]

Something that kills me is that there’s no way in hell that Raph’s debilitating separation anxiety isn’t infinitely worse after the movie. The trauma of being Krangified like that, all alone, would probably regress him so hard.

Not to mention his worries of getting “weird” would likely get mixed up with his experience while Krangified - aka, he loses full awareness, and when he’s brought “back” it’s to the understanding that he attacked his own family (of course not to his own fault at all, but how much of that does he believe?)

The fear of being alone would take on another layer and become a fear of himself.

[arcanegifs]

I rarely voice my opinions on stuff like this but I think it’s ridiculous that people fight over a show that hasn’t even aired yet.
