In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.

Tis unfortunate they cannot appreciate the practicality of his work.

There's a lot of cool QoL like the visual timeline instead of the hidden list, fast forward button, ability to flee battles, expanded recruitment system, ability to cancel a movement action/redo movement.

I do miss job wheel though. Not a fan of the job change screen looking like the party screen.

Been watching the VOD of mr connordawg and premierpete play Ivalice Chronicles.

13 hours in and wondering how in the hell the full gameplay video timestamp is only 43 hours long. I feel like every battle in that game took me 45 minutes minimum on PS1.

For now I think I've added easier to find links to the response page and spreadsheet on the first page of the document. Huge error on my part not seeing what was available only to me and what other people could view. Appreciate you pointing out the accessibility issues.

The pie charts used were generated by Word and I didn't change the colors on them. I'm surprised that those ones are difficult to read! The bar graphs I was incredibly iffy on and I wholly agree they can be hard to read. I opened the raw data for this reason to provide that alternative just in case.

No it's fine! I just realized gdocs doesn't have the same type of viewable alt-text the way bsky does. I was really unsure how to make the data as viewable as possible the way the responses pages did without all of the extra write-ins being unallocated to better categories. Ty for the info.

Oh no! Does the alt text become unavailable if the image doesn't load? The original data is also open and viewable from the initial survey form as well. I am unsure how accessible the default is compared to what I made in the document.

Catch me never gposing because I feel like I need to resize each outfit to the specific sizing I use. Then I never finish that resize. Endless cycle of needing to make my own food.

Tails♡Aesthetician Admirer @poignanttails.bsky.social · 20h

Maybe it's what comes across my feed or modsite frontpages, but my preferences do not align with the community at large. Even with what I don't care for, I do like seeing when people have variety available.

Hope the results of my survey get put more into use sometime. People crave options!

can i say something. i hate the "nobody looks like this/i don't know anybody who looks like this" rhetoric specifically when it comes to trans body modding. i don't know anybody who looks like base tbse or any of the other body mods for that record. you can just say you don't care for it + be honest

Pina ✨ ADHD Alien @adhd-alien.bsky.social · Aug 14

I wish the people around me would've understood how much hormones can affect my ADHD symptoms. Some days, I just can't get any work done with how bad my brain fog gets and I feel like all I can do is ride it out (and try to be gentle with myself).

1
A graphic with text explaining ADHD and hormones.
I experience worse ADHD symptoms before and during my period.
As hormone levels fluctuate throughout my cycle, so does the severity of my ADHD symptoms.

The ADHD Alien character is shown a few times in different situations that correlate with the text.
“The brain fog gets worse”
“I have more trouble concentrating, understanding and memorizing”
“I get emotional faster”. The character is crying over seeing a cute kitten.
“I feel more overwhelmed and less able to motivate myself” the character is exhausted and slouching over a table with a book.

2
“I keep forgetting what I'm doing”. The character is confusedly holding a spoon, meanwhile a dog in the background is pointing at an empty food bowl.
“I get more impulsive and make more rash decisions” .

During my period, it often feels like my medication isn't working as well.
Lower estrogen levels can affect the effectiveness of ADHD medication.

3
Estrogen affects executive functioning
Our estrogen levels are lowest before and during our period, and highest during ovulation (the middle between periods).
Graphic of a scale, each side of the scale is showing the following: Estrogen levels sink, ADHD symptoms increase

4
A graphic with the character laying on the floor at the bottom of a curve. As the curve rises, the character becomes increasingly energetic.
Ovulation: I usually am most productive and concentrated here
6 days before / during period: Concentration, working-memory and other symptoms become worse.

5
ADHD symptoms can feel worse with age.
Estrogen continuously decreases during and after menopause, which can affect all kind of executive functioning like working memory, concentration etc.
An illustration with the same person throughout different ages. With each age, the color changes from pink (more estrogen) to blue in old age (less estrogen).

During pregnancy, estrogen levels rise and then drop significantly after birth. A graphic with a pregnant person with ADHD, with a curve rapidly sinking and then showing the same person exhausted with a baby in hand.

6
Be gentle with yourself and don’t plan the most complex work into your lower functioning phases. A sparkly and whimsical version of the ADHD alien character, that is made entirely of stars and star constellations.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost, unable to make meaningful changes to my life, while not being believed when I tell people how much I try.

Four-page comic.

Page 1
Top section: Narration text says, “Every day I wake up convinced I’ll finally do the thing I’ve been wanting to do for so long, but I’ve gotten so tired of waking up every day knowing that nothing has changed.”

Panels show lists of undone tasks:
- Narration: “Another day and I still haven’t cleaned the table so I can cook, still haven’t filled out important forms, haven’t thrown out the spoiled food I put next to the fridge a week ago, still haven’t unpacked the luggage from 9 months ago, and I lost a letter and am too ashamed to ask for a copy.”

Final narration on this page: “I do the wrong tasks, don’t finish, or get paralyzed before being able to start anything.”

Page 2
Panels contrast misconceptions with reality.
Narration: “When I can’t do something, it’s not: ‘It’s not fun so I won’t bother.’ Or ‘I don’t wanna do it.’”

Next panels show dread. Narration: “It’s more like I feel dread and my body yells back at me: ‘You won’t feel rewarded for this, so you’re wasting survival resources and energy.’ ‘DON’T DO IT.’”

Further narration: “I can’t even explain why I don’t do things, so people don’t believe me. I’ve started isolating because gathering my courage to ask for help and being shamed hurts so much.”

Closing narration on this page: “It feels like I’m a ghost, unable to make meaningful changes to my life. An existence unseen and unheard, having to hide so as not to trouble others.”

Page 3
Narration continues: “All I can do is watch as my life falls apart in slow-motion, as people watch and ask themselves ‘why doesn’t she just do something?’”

Further narration: “Every day I would fight myself to great exhaustion without any result to show for it. So after a while, I gave up fighting.
Not because I had a negative mindset, but as a result of my experiences.”

Someone scolds: “No one is coming to save you, stop being so self-defeating!”

Shift in tone: Narration asks, “Do you know what saved my life?”
A supportive voice replies: “I believe you. I will help you.”

Page 4
Narration: “It’s not that no one has helped me before, but no one believed how much help I needed.”

Someone else says dismissively: “I’m sure you can do it!”

Narration continues: “And it’s not that I can’t do anything – I can do many things that others can’t. It’s just that where my mother needs help using the PC, I need help organizing my day.”

Further narration: “People aren’t made to survive alone – without any help.”

Closing text: “I am still my own person. I have my own morals, agency, hopes and dreams. And if I have a robust scaffolding to work on, I can not only live, but thrive.”

In defense of people who are like this, but aren't "block on sight/no doubles" about it: It's the feeling of seeing a character they've built a whole lore around and the possibility of mischaracterization that feels bad.

Personally I would like to know where all the other Jandelaine enjoyers are.
