There's a certain nostalgic charm coming back after so many years. I made a lot of amazing memories when I played it regularly, and met so many people. It was my big introduction to the online social gaming scene.

Ruathyr: Intense. Focused. Many mistake it for aggression, and him for a dangerous man. It changes, when he's alone and feeling safe. Softer, weary. Focused, at times, but dreamy at others.

I actually do a lot of solo play, especially when I'm not streaming. ^^;

Reliving my youth -grandpa noises-

Absolutely. There's so much deliberate action against the lower, and esp lowest, echelons of wealth. I'd wager most of them know the effect that has on the economy and simply don't care because they're certain they can ride it out.

Instead, they shuffle hundreds of billions between themselves while strip-mining the hardwork of others and the other billionaires/CEOs line their own pockets at the cost of their workers' wages/salaries but somehow it's shocking that those workers aren't spending the money they don't have.

To specific people with specific skillsets or a very strong eye for visual disparities the differences can be obvious at a glance, but they are the outliers. The average person can't tell and the average person ends up cocksure about their ability to tell precisely because "it's obvious".

I hate this joke/argument, because genai has only gotten more proficient at mimicry over time and actual artists have born the brunt of that. At least a few of the artists I've followed have had people unironically claim that their art was ai—to the point of dogpiling.

Fresh yuzu sounds amazing!
