  • As a transgender woman, I have personally experienced that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) – which includes estrogen as well as testosterone blockers – slowed down my facial hair growth and thinned out of my facial hair. So testosterone levels play a small part in facial hair growth. However, I doubt that the levels within a cisgender male would vary enough to cause any significant changes.

    It’s probably just that there’s a fair bit of hair growth that happens before the hairs reach the surface of your skin, like a millimeter or two. When you shave, it only has to grow back enough to pop out over the surface of the skin. If you were to pluck a hair with a pair of tweezers, it would take at least a couple of weeks to grow back. I have done exactly that many times, so at least for me that’s the time frame.









  • There’s quite a lot that can be gleaned from the depots for the game on steamdb: https://steamdb.info/app/1422450/depots/

    I don’t know if this information is already public but here are a couple of quick inferences I made by looking a the files. I’m not overly familiar with Valve’s intellectual properties so I don’t recognize any specific characters or franchises.

    There’s likely a hero named Yamato who has the abilities:

    • Shadow Form
    • Power Stance
    • Infinity Slash
    • Healing Slash
    • Flying Strike

    There’s a lot more hero information but that’s the top one in the depots.

    The game might be called “Citadel”, or it may have just been called that internally at Valve. The reason I suspect that is because of there appears to be a game folder called “citadel” which appears to be the main game folder.




  • My favorite tips are:

    You can filter the output of a command. Most commands return parameters like (output, error) so you can filter them by number like 1>/dev/null will filter the output and only show the errors, and 2>/dev/null will filter the errors and only show the output. Also if you want a command to run silently but it doesn’t have it’s own built-in quiet mode you can add &>/dev/null which will filter everything.

    Bash (and other shell’s I assume) can be fully customized. In addition to the .bashrc file in your home directory, there are also a few common files that bash will look for like .bash_aliases, .bash_commands, .bash_profile or you can create your own and just add to the end of the .bashrc file ./YOUR_CUSTOM_BASH_FILE_NAME

    Inside that file you can add any custom commands you want to run for every bash shell like aliases and what not.

    I personally often use a simple update command like so alias up='sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y' which just makes running updates, upgrades, and clean-up so much easier. Just type up and enter your password. I have previously added in things like &>/dev/null to quiet the commands and echo Fetching updates... to make some commands quieter but still give some simple feedback.

    There’s also the basics of moving around a terminal command as others have pointed out. The easiest and the one I use the most is if you hold CTRL+LEFT_ARROW the cursor will move entire words instead of one character at a time. Very helpful if you need to change something in the middle of a command.
