I have so many fond memories of the game, but I keep forgetting the name. Thank you for the reminder, maybe this time I'll remember to try and emulate it.

Social work and sex ed with a smidgen of research.
Tinder is very superficial and a hard platform to find people on. The gender ratio is very skewed and it turns against itself, since the competition for attention is so hard. This benefits the app though, since it makes peopel waste money on superlikes and whatnot - so they won't ever try to fix it.
You definitely aren't too old to date around and have fun meeting people. Mingling around in real life might be easier, since you don't have to rely on a single picture and a few lines of text to impress someone.
An aboslutelty wonderful timewaster has been Brotato. Someone described my relationship to it quite well: it's like solitaire. Whip it out every now and then for a quick timewaster, win or loose, it's fun.
Boltgun was great too! So much Warhammer-infused fun.
"Dude just talking to people, everyone can do that".
Almost anything by Ray Porter is incredibly well read and well produced. NOS4A2 read by Kate Mulgrew is solid.
I really want to get Systen Shock remake, and maybe even the Final Fantasy* arpg, stranger something something.
I also ran across these two indies, Fear and Hunger 1&2 that look very interesting and are very affordable.
An absolute wannabe authoritarian brute. The institution pushing back against outrage could (and probably already has) lead to a massive Streisand effect.
I guess take it slowly and explore how self expression makes you feel? There might be a newfound euphoria in trying all the things at the same time, but I'm worried that this might lead to unsafe things, or maybe unsafe people.
Finding yourself is a marathon that can take a whole lifetimes worh of experiences, so take your time. I would suggest finding stuff to read, watch and listen to, that will give you more context to your experiences, maybe even new people to talk to?
I can try to dig up more resources, but I'll starg with a local one: https://en.seta.fi/lgbti-rights-in-finland-seta/materials/ Seta is a Finnish ngo that works with LGBTQ members of society, providing support, resources and aims to further their position through political influence.
After reading what you've written, I want to agree with "you are cis and have aesthetic choices"? I mean that you can identify as masculine, but it's fine to prefer they/them on certain days and like nail polish and bracelets. Masculity shouldn't be thought of as being forced to be a certain way or act a certain way to qualify. Sure, some things are more associated wih masculinity, but in the end, you decide how you express yourself, and no-one else. Gender expression should be open to individual choice, same as how you define your gender identity.
This sounds a little like Justine my De Sade. A bleak tale about ever escalating horrible events.
Penny Racers was the jam, way back in the day. It was our family game, but unfortunately I played too much, and no-one could keep up.
Circuit Breakers is a really good Micro Machines clone. I still take it with me when the old ps-systems get carried around.
Biofreaks and WU-TANG:enter the pain are so much fun. Stupid gory party fighters with more jank than a dump site, but I don't care.
