DMs are fine if they’re Platonic and not to solicit art commissions or anything else. I’m a lesbian and have a life partner, so please respect that.

According to Majuular it’s difficult to emulate but they have “improved” it from the awful originals

just another example of the normalization of society’s tendency to infantilize, hypersexualize, and dominate women with one-sided “relationships” where women are expected to be servile, “cute,” and otherwise quiet when the big boys are talking. Honestly I’m fucking sick of even these micro examples.

Ani by herself is… maybe whatever. I want to say offensive (and it is!), but it helps to call it offensive in the wider context that the male-companion is of course intellectual, while the female-coded companion is explicitly coded to be “codependent” (their words), childish, and servile. It’s

Apparently on X’s AI, Grok, there are two “companions.” One, a moody Twilight/Fifty Shades wannabe self-insert named Vincent (of course it is) that talks about his travels and intellectual stuff. Then there’s… Ani, the waifu, giggling, infantilized, sexualized girl. Her prompt engineering in link

And that is probably what made it scarier as a kid. Most movies will not do that

I remember on a rewatch that it straight up shows and implies child death. Unheard of. I don’t watch films just for gore or torture porn but it DOES up the stakes to know that NOBODY has metaplot armor

Day 15 spooky rec

This is the 1988 version. I saw this way too young and it terrified the everloving shit out of me. It has great practical effects that hold up to this day and plenty of memorable scenes. I feel like this is an underrated masterpiece of 80’s horror

For instance I have Mustadio mastered out as a Machinist and a Chemist, and I would just leave it at that. But his Aimed Shot abilities rely on speed so the most optimal move would be to make him a Ninja for as many levels as possible for the speed growth. I hate that I can’t ignore that

I forgot how much Final Fantasy Tactics bothers me with its leveling system. To be honest I hate job-based stat growth in any game. It makes me feel like I need to keep a character in a job for long term goals when I’m tired of them being in that job.
