like idc that you made ur guy the bus driver i love playing favorites too i literally cant judge but its similar to the insight you get when someone is clearly nameseaching a character/going through a tag but being selective w/ what they like/rt/whatever. get perceived, nerd
i like when someone does a thing based on a group of characters and either leaves someone out or includes someone who isnt *really* part of the group its like getting to see the inside of the mind of a total stranger. its a level of intimacy you dont get when they 'color inside the lines'

[aitsf] missing my pointless yaoi so redrew an old scribble
i was fine relearning ghis' name because honestly the actual pronunciation feels a lot better than the intuitive one (where you acknowledge the first i) but im not changing how i say mister kitty. its just not happening
points against this:
-literally every romanization of his name uses g instead of j. the hepburn romanization would be "jifuka", and a j would clearly, unambiguously communicate the dʒ sound. why change it if not to communicate the intended pronunciation?
-i don't like it
-you can't make me use it
it has occurred to me that maybe. possibly. the canonical pronunciation of Giffca uses a soft g (ipa dʒ, like in giraffe) and not a hard g (ipa g, like in golden).
points in favor of this:
-ジ (ジフカ) is pronounced dʒ
i like its ideas but not its execution which is maybe better than the alternative? idk.
romhack that i will not mention by name since i dont really have kind things to say about it. someone i watch started playing it and i was like "oh this looks neat i should stop watching so i can play it myself" and i think i would've been happier just watching them play. finished it tho.
im also already kinda second guessing the idea of publishing this at all since i regretted 0x9 a lot (for all the same reasons) but thats something i can worry about when im closer to being done 👍
and lets me link reader action to characters action but if i overdo it its going to hurt it a lot and i have no idea where to draw the line
the specific act of having the reader 'press a button' every so often to reveal more text is like. so basic that i think if it turns people away they were probably not going to finish it anyway so its like whatever yknow i guess. but i do like how it gives me much more control over the pacing
sat on it a bit and i think this is actually the only way to tell this story but making it even slightly interactive is like. yet another barrier that might prevent any person who is not me from getting through it

you can't really grind there, but since you got the points in CoD, get b rank here.
you can get a rank in victory or death if you don't care about 32x, otherwise you have to get it in 32x
merlinus cannot be deployed in either final chapter but they're already besties
obtain vaida in cog of destiny
80 turns of support grinding in CoD
c rank
80 more turns of support grinding in CoD
merlinus can't be deployed next map
sands of time and battle preparations have a turncount limit (15 turns total).
oh no yeah i forgot that you can still gain points after a conversation.
is merlinusvaida a even possible

Golvellius is the kind of game that unlocks a secret cave if you kill 34 enemies on a specific screen, only for the fairy in that cave to scold you for grinding

That's what I like to call "The Good Stuff"
