I think it's been overlooked that somebody coughed up the cash for him to buy FFXIV. Which is 60 dollars, by the way.
He's nowhere near the end of the recently expanded free trial. So another useless purchase from the grift pile.

I hope your feet continue to be happy feet, friend. I suspect that if they ever weren't, if your doctor said "you have a small foot problem, do this one thing to make sure it stays small," you would do it.

Thanks and I did exactly that. Dr told me 2 years ago I was starting to show signs of neuropathy so I did everything to make sure it stayed a small sign.

 

[Aunt Carol]

Going to assume the doctor told you "buy custom furry art, as much as possible, pregnant if you can" and you followed their instructions to the letter.

Sadly, Lou has limited access to this evidence-based treatment for diabetes due to the financial deprivation that comes with being a transwoman in Amerikkka today.

 

[The Dude]

I'm definitely looking forward to Louie getting his extremities amputated because he's too much of a fat fucking pig to eat healthy. It'll likely start when he steps on something, like a shard of broken glass or needle or something, which Louie won't realize because he's lost the feeling in his feet. It'll get infected, then gangrenous, and It'll just progress from there.

I can see how a pair of cheap shoes, worn with Gagliardi-hygiene, might be totaled after one final dog pee incident. (Don't dogs like to pee on organic smells, to reclaim them?)

But I really want to know more about the rain in Pennsylvania. You'd think the local Walmart would sell special PA-rated outerwear, since normal clothing melts with contact.

He might not be lying about wanting shoes, or he might have seen the price tag of shoes and used the more plausible price of $17 vs. $20, to make it seem real. Walmart detective:

Wonder what happened to his prescription diabetic shoes. I'm not well versed on the intersection of clothes and DME, but if those are nuked he should call the podiatrist's office and ask how soon he's approved for a new pair.

Cheap shoes will protect Lou's soles from rocks and such, and are better than going barefoot. But if he's needing prescription shoes, is a long-time noncompliant diabetic, is very heavy, and he already lost some tarsals to osteomyelitis...

Other than the occasional patient portal screenshots, everything we know about Lou's health involves playing telephone via a greedy manipulator with poor insight into his own conditions. I would bet, however, that the prescription shoes are in effort to prevent Charcot foot remodeling. An ounce of prevention is worth pounds and pounds of cure, here, but since Lou can't feel or see his feet he's going to buy Walmart's cheapest shoes over and over (and also furry porn) and blame Society when he gets his Charcot diagnosis.

This is the foot equivalent of not wearing your retainer, except Lou isn't 10 and theoretically knows what he's signing up for.

Is Charcot the best explanation for his "HRT made my feet shrink two sizes" claim he's been repeating recently? I don't remember seeing anything about prescription footwear and I can't get enough Lou updates.

 

[Kane Lives]

How much is a pokemon go name change or a FFXIV character remake?

A Fantasia pot goes for $10 on the SEnix website. (Less if you buy more).

 

[Aunt Carol]

Is Charcot the best explanation for his "HRT made my feet shrink two sizes" claim he's been repeating recently?

For Lou's sake, I hope he's just copying the lies of other troons. Charcot feet are shorter but they're not dainty. I'm sure he could lace his shoes tighter without noticing discomfort, but that's not HRT, that's spaghettivore neuropathy. Lou also claimed to have shrunk in height recently, and that's more outlandish, given his recorded medical conditions.

I think it's simple lying. We never see photos of his shoes, we didn't hear him saying how affirming it was to pick out a new smaller pair in a women's style, we didn't hear how annoying it was to schlep to Torrid to try on cheap goth boots for fat women. (I don't think "trying on clothing/shoes" is in Lou's mental scheme at all; he's used to buying Walmart plus sizes by tag and arbitrary guesses.)

I don't remember seeing anything about prescription footwear and I can't get enough Lou updates.

He was begging for money for the copay for some orthopedic shoes, and bitched about going to the shoe place, but we never saw the shoes.

Medical supplies get unnaturally expensive when insurance reimbursement appears, but "diabetic shoes" are usually pretty sturdy, if plain and unfashionable.

I think there are a few likely options:

• The prescription shoes are the ones nuked by dog pee and magic rain and he's going to replace them with Walmart Specials.
• Lou never wore the orthopedic shoes because they were uncomfortable/couldn't be slid on; same pee/Walmart need.
• Lou remembered the shoe prices at Walmart and realized that would be a plausible-sounding reason to beg for $17 for furry commissions (the Almond Flour Strategy)

 

[kazuhiro]

He deleted the shoe beg and posted some name news.

"Very bad at sayng I care about saying I care about someone." I hope he really does go with Silverwind for the new name.


Role models.

Oh lawd. Is Lou one of those people stupid enough to queue for extremes using the Duty Finder? I almost want to end up in one of his groups to see how he acts.

Here's more on FFXIV. He seems to have had the wrong idea about the extremes.

Spoiler: Long image

(He games at the library?)

I mean, one of the most popular Jedi was black: Mace Windu. And then there's that one chick in the Jedi Survivor games played by that one bug-eyed Knee Grew whose in a lot of video games. I know there are more, but those are the two black Jedi that immediately came to mind.

Lou is argumentative on Disqus mainly for the sake of it, he might have a slight point here, but that isn't why he's posting.
The story.

The comment in context.

So, i swear I've seen this talked about in keffals' thread, but could Lou be experiencing the extreme hunchback that comes with injecting female hormones?

I've seen someone with a hunchback so bad that they shrunk almost 4" in height, but that person had broken their back, they weren't trans.

RE: name change. No fucking way is Lou gonna spring for ad space in 2 local newspapers AND hurple around town to get proof of a lien check.

Here's more on FFXIV. He seems to have had the wrong idea about the extremes.

To give some context about this given what was said in previous posts about FFXIV: In FFXIV, There are three tiers of Trial content with expansions going with two tiers because one of the tiers were redundant in the long run of it, A Realm Reborn having "Normal" levels being unlocked early on in the story and very easy, "Hard" mode unlocked after you finish base 2.0 and required for a late 2.X patch and includes eight players as opposed to four players or one player and three NPC's, and "Extreme" versions that can be done with eight players and are completely optional unlike Normal and Hard variations. What likely drew Lou to this conclusion is likely a very similar thing that happens to many new players, that being that in A Realm Reborn and Heavensward, unlocking the "Extreme" variations of trials was the same exact process as unlocking "Hard" variations of trials, Feature Quests that more experienced players usually suggest newer players do as they go about their adventures. Starting in Stormblood, the process of unlocking Extremes was streamlined to where you talk to a character and after a cutscene, you'll have the Extreme, Savage, or even Ultimate trial for whatever content you just unlocked available to do provided you feel you are ready for said content. Savages and Ultimates are different entirely as they aren't Trials in the traditional sense, rather a test of how well you know the game even further than that of Extreme trials.

That Proof of Financial Standing is going to be a hurdle for Lou to get over, he has not once ever worked a job that could prove that he should be allowed to get a name change.

 

[Aunt Carol]

Nah, too soon and too much effort.

He hasn't even been doing it for a year, he's shown us a picture of his oral prescription, and speaking of pictures: the photos of Lou look the same as ever.

The only visible change in "trans Lou" is that he does seem to be washing his hair and shaving his face more regularly, so his generic estradiol is probably worth it if that's the placebo effect.

PL but I know I never feel more womanly than when I put bedsheets over my mattress, wash my own laundry, and pick up my empty bottles of drinkin' ketchup from the floor. You gals the same?

 

[Iron Hamster]

We never see photos of his shoes,

They get wet and disintegrate. C'mon.

Big fan of the 'Passingwind' moniker.

Lou needs to talk to someone at CERN about how they photograph those particles that only exist in Earth conditions for milliseconds.

Also that might be what his clothes are made out of, which would be a great boon to Science.

One other noticeable change in Louie's appearance is that his cheeks are fatter to the point that they sag down. His face has gotten so fat that he has jowls now, like a Neapolitan Mastiff.

 

[Mountain Dew]

FFXIV stuff on Tiggies.

I'm not even going to get into why he's being retarded about this game. He can't even spell Heavensward right. And I doubt anybody would like to read my autistic spergfest about how Haucherfant isn't pompous.

 

[Lou's Sentient Backfat]

And I doubt anybody would like to read my autistic spergfest about how Haucherfant isn't pompous.

Are we sure he's talking about Haurchefant? He could be talking about any other number of Ishgardian nobles, save for Aymeric. Heck it's been several years since I did the HW msq but Lou could even be talking about Count Edmont. Hard to say since the story really does go pretty hard on treating you like an outsider for a while in Ishgard. But no, if Lou is calling the bestest boy Haurchefant pompous then please do let your concentrated autism free.

 

[Spoonomancer]

the Crystal Tower raid series is fastest of all of the Alliance Raids in the game unless all three alliances decide to massively fuck up the mechanics and Lou doesn't read chat to see what he's doing wrong, and even then there's just one boss with a single mechanic that is more obtuse than what led up to them.
