I used to be obsessed with names and their meanings as a kid. My sisters both got names that meant like "wisdom" and "patience" and I got stuck with a goddamn weed for a moniker, so now I project that frustration onto every single little guy* I make

I'm fucking enamored I'm so glad you enjoyed it

are there any games left that haven't enshittified themselves with AI, great googly moogly

but this is just absolutely fucking disgusting, I'm not going to give money to a service that is now openly and deliberately hostile to the very fans that make the community worth engaging with in the first place.

so anyway I'm in the market for a new MMO and online gaming community 🕺

I just don't think the government should be able to shut down without real, tangible consequences for those resonsible, especially when it's the people who take the brunt of the impact. fuck out of here with that

As for their perspective and willingness to work on them, I usually just kind of bake that into their story so that they never really outwardly (or to the viewer) examine themselves, but make incremental, decision-based improvements over the coarse of their journey.

Or.. they hire a maid... :)

Markas hasn't been in the incubator long enough to develop a real personality, but functionally he is a devout vassal of of the inheritor of Baal's will and follows their orders unflinchingly, without regard to his personal safety or the safety of others... or the law... or his own morals...

Dent's biggest flaw is that he's a little bit of a slob. He is otherwise perfect. Fight me.

Nifft has the best of intentions and still manages to make the lives of people close to him exponentially harder at times just because he had a sheltered upbringing and doesn't know any better... yet

Sindri is a miserable introvert who views most other people as a blot in his vision. He's selfish, vain, and extremely cold towards others, especially if he's endeared to them.

Yris has never been troubled with a thought until very recently and his decision making is fucking b-b-b-bad.

Emile and Iron's whole relationship is extremely flawed and problematic in its early stages. They are a queer love story in a hetero normative setting. It's messy, they're messy, and their thoughts are messy. Lots of flawed logic leads to unrequited feelings and delays their bliss by decades.

Baron is a coward for himself. He simply cannot come to the conclusion to stand up for himself... ever. It's like the concept would cause him to combust if he thought about it too hard. It's why his subplot lasts up until Stormblood. He also a recovering alcoholic by the events of Endwalker.

I did a similar thing for Paladin Oaths from D&D 5e...

(yes, I know Vengeance is listed twice, it was an accident... I haven't fixed it because someone once made a "it's back with a vengeance" joke)

that sounds *incredible*, what a treat! both socially and literally!

decorations or candy bars? 🧙‍♀️
