"u piss?" No. No I don't piss. Ever
A lot of emotional whiplash here, but I mean that extremely positively. From the hilarious, to the cringe, to the heartwarming... and of course, to "the sugary"
screaming crying throwing up this truly is the trans man grindr experience 10/10 i am dying i am dead i am alive i have had the sugary
loved this. usually super picky with games. but I love transgenderism 5 starz
This is the type of shit I look for when I’m on itch.io 10/10
Fascinated by the idea of having so little faith in yourself that, in a hookup app, your opening move to get someone to hook up with you is to offer them $60. Like why.
10/10 i love trans people
same!
born to be "hey i'm trans too!" forced to be "maybe in the next life."
The Whiplash from going from the 60 year old trans woman, to "u piss?" was hilarious
I loved it. Simple but it transmit your experience back to us. :)
this is awesome wow <3
I loved "Let's start a band" and the other trans person who wished you a wonderful day, so sweet lol <3
Edit: just read the one from the 60 yr old woman. I wish her all the best in life :)
I laughed, I cringed, I cried. There's so much emotional whiplash between the gross, the wholesome, the sad, and the downright weird. Personal highlights: the older trans woman, and "let's start a band". What a great little game, thank you! :)
thank you so much for the kind words!! so glad you enjoyed it <3
"lets start a band" that dude knows whats up
"u piss?" legendary
u piss
going from the kinda gross alex message to "let's start a band" caught me off guard and made me wheeze. <3
Both funny and thoughtful, the one by the 60 years old trans woman absolutely pulverized my heart. Cute game, thank you so much :)
truly incredible - i wonder if getting top surgery is part of why people seem way less interested in me on grindr than before!
(my funniest couple of stories from there are the time i was talking to a paramedic and asked him about the top ten worst things he'd seen people put up their ass on the job and this interaction with an army dude with no pfp but 'blue lives matter' and an american flag in his bio that asked if i liked [redacted])
love this!!
Ha, great read. thanks
THESE ARE WONDERFULLY FUNNY AND WHOLESOME, THANK YOU FOR THIS 😭
haha thank you so much for checking it out!!! <3
this is brilliant. i love the scope of these messages.
thank you so much! <3
thank you so much for checking it out!! <3
some of these hit close to home. The 60 year old trans woman is genuinely so sad, but the transition from that to 'u piss?' sent me. great game. please update this with more if there ever is any, this is amazing
thank you!! <3 every so often i give in to the void and download grindr again, so there may be more in the future
Going from reading an older trans person's heartbreaking confession of feeling like she's too old to transition straight into "u piss" felt like getting sucker punched and then immediately slapped in the face with a wet rubber chicken
the grindr experience!
"Let's start a band" is fucking me up SO bad
Help.
I just realized the color palette for this omg.
Wait what
Bro fr just said "Hi I'm vegan too" then said "u like ur nipples sucked?" IM CRYING
* do you like your nipples sucked mb
Bro really asked "U piss?" tho
The transition (pun intended) from "Hey I'm transitioning too!" to "U piss?" is something that I spent an unhealthy amount of time laughing at.
Same
originally i was going to have the messages be in random order, but i really felt like those two had to go together
this means the world to me
<3
I LOVED this. So funny and heartwarming
Thank you for sharing! The 60 year old really hit me
thank you for playing! :) yeah it was rough. i don't believe it can ever be "too late" to transition, but ofc i don't know her entire situation. i hope she manages to find joy either way
this game was so cool and not too different from my experiences as a transfemme on grindr, gg!
"the sugary"
It's so sweet, it hurts!
"clit?" made me howl out loud. incredible little game.
thank you! <3
"Hi I'm vegan too" was truly the most incredible quote I could've ever read from this, I think. I don't know much about Grindr, but it certainly seems! Thank you for sharing these incredible mementos!!
thank you! <3 lmao yeah i did mention being vegan in my profile, because finding cute lunch spots together is part of the joy of meeting new people for me, but the message that came after gave me whiplash. like i expect horny on grindr obviously, but he got me to put my guard down and then piledrived me straight into the ground
when they asked "u piss?" i felt that
lovely little video game
this was so wonderful!! "let's start a band" is def my favorite :D
i did a similar (albeit "traditional" not digital) project for my portfolio a couple years ago about toxic male body image standards in the gay community and used some of the grindr messages i'd been sent, too! i love the idea of incorporating personal day-to-day interactions like that into someone's artwork <33
thanks for checking out the game! :)
yeah i do love these kind of art projects too. i was initially only going to use the weird/funny messages, but it felt more right to represent the full breadth of what grindr interactions can be like.
