I think a lot about this bit by Kazuya Niinou about how an RPG can be one thing on your screen and another thing in your brain

How to use your imagination

When your party stays at the Inn overnight, what do they eat?

If you ever catch yourself wondering that, then you know you've formed an attachment to your characters.

With Etrian Odyssey's characters, you only give them a name and a portrait, so no matter how you think of the character, it's technically just your imagination. But even in that case, without your imagination, the character is nothing.

For example, a landsknecht who uses an axe might eat his meat with his bare hands and no utensils, but one who wields a sword might prefer a knife and fork at dinner. You might think differently, but... If you can imagine small details like that, you might find that you enjoy this kind of RPG even more.

The essence is an RPG is using numbers to make calculated decisions, but if you invest those "numbers" with your own feelings, you can spice up the game a little. Think about this:

In your party of five, three characters are dead. Two of them are alive, but they only have a couple of HP left, and no TP. They're certain to die in their next turn, giving you a game over. Number-wise, those characters are useless, but how do you imagine they feel about that? What kind of people are those 2 characters who are about to die? Try to imagine things like that in the brief time before your game ends.

Are they a landsknecht and a ronin, who'll die facing the enemy and laughing? Is it a protector, ordering the weak medic to run with his last breath?

The game over screen looks the same every time, but in your imagination, it could play out very differently.

The game itself isn't that big of a thing; what you imagine for yourself is much more fun. We hope that the player uses this game as a tool, to create dramatic and fun situations in your own minds.

good gender-nuetral entity

a short comic showing a hand petting a dog. the hand ask "are you a good boy?" the dog said "yes!", and the hand ask again "are you a good girl?" the dog said "yes!", and the hand ask, in a gender-nuetral way, "are you a good person?" the dog looks shocked. next panel shows the dog posing as "The Thinker" statue, asking itself "Am I a good person?"

Remember kids, in the year of our Lord 2026, if you see someone stealing food, NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T

Jimmy Thomson @jameswsthomson.com · 1d

So someone was unsuccessful in trying to steal $300 worth of food from a business owned by the Sobey family (net worth $5.5 billion), and the cops thought it warranted a news release

Saanich Police are asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect who allegedly attempted to steal more than $300 worth of meat from a grocery store in the 3400 block of Quadra Street.

Police say the incident occurred when a man attempted to leave the store with the unpaid items but was stopped by security. The suspect then fled the store before police arrived.

incredible character analysis of y’shtola rhul in endwalker and dawntrail, everyone. amazing job.

A screenshot of a thread from another bluesky post. Reads:

@wahwaahwaaah - Fuckboy Yshtola and her winding trail of conquered dykes

@wahwaahwaaah - “Y’shtola keeps sleeping with women and vanishing” its called research

@transcatffxiv - hit it and quit it emotionally unavailable queen for 6 years running and with no signs of slowing down

@wahwaahwaaah - the Guy Fieri of foreign pussy the way she keeps diving, dining, and driving off
