((Finally, I'm kicking off a plot I've been really excited for! In Warwick, Rhode Island, two teenagers lie dead. Victims to... what, exactly, though? swlrp.com/forum/m/437961… #SWLRP @SWLRoleplay))

((More RP scenes than just SWL have lost a real treasure, and while I don't know them well enough to know how they'd want to be remembered, I know we'd all do better by learning from them. To be that kind, reliable, and willing to play the small part that makes it all work.))

((Patient, reliable, always responsive, but never demanding of a spotlight. They're the grease that keeps an average day flowing smoothly, keeps the story going and everyone talking to each other and making friends, and if they do it just right, you might not even realize.))

((I was planning to make the in-game memorial, but I... vastly underestimated the amount of time it'd take to patch the game. Oh well, it probably wouldn't have been smart to go to a 4am-my-time event anyway. But I did want to say something.))

((So I've made myself a personal non-RP Twitter account after way too long, and also, I made a big chunky video on Final Fantasy XIV's political landscape! Check it out if you're at all curious! Also keep an eye out for a fact my Secret World roots obliged me to mention.))

youtu.be/8oxf8lhQduk ((For #FFXIV players about, I made another lore video! This one's on the Blessing of Light. Because FFXIV's way of declaring your character special is WAY more complicated than SWL's 'ate a bug'.))

((I should say, it's nobody's fault that I'm uncomfortable. It's just that a real-world-adjacent RP setting felt... wrong, in a pandemic setting. But I haven't been out of MMOs or RP! And I'm not the only SWLRP sort that also plays FFXIV, so some of you might like that video.))

((Hello, everyone! I've been quiet for a while, and I can't say that won't continue, for some reasons of personal comfort. But as for what I've been doing in the meantime: I just uploaded a real big #ffxiv lore video I'm proud of! youtu.be/umBwN0wQ_E0 Spoilers galore!))

@Gen_Ironicus Agreed, but I give the point to Kshatriya because it keeps the funnels under the 'wings' instead of the tail. It's also mashed up with the Neue Ziel either way.

@AClerisy Maybe, but I see more Queen Mansa in that myself. Not that they’d be that different once you run them through the evil bug filter

Every FFXIV event leads to someone @-ing me to say they added a new Gundam you can be or fight. Maybe tonight it’ll be the Kshatriya.

@Gen_Ironicus youtu.be/zz7_mDoX7XA

@Gen_Ironicus You can already fight Kshatriya, that's the Emerald Weapon!

@JoeFloki I am trans, don't speak for me. Do something more productive with your Saturday than defending transphobia in a reply to a year+-old tweet. You'll enjoy life more.

@AClerisy And the poster is the opposite of transphobic and as you can see most trans people agree

((So, a retweet reminded me I hadn't posted this on Twitter. I try not to speak on this stuff here, but with Cyberpunk 2077 being so painfully transphobic, I put together a short list of games on Steam that treat trans people better than they do. store.steampowered.com/curator/352355…))

@JoeFloki Wow, you're digging a long way to still not make a single point. If both the GOG and 2077 transphobic comments were from different people, then it shows a systemic problem in the company. Which we already knew given that poster and their response to its backlash at E3 2019.

@AClerisy You genuinely need better context if you didn't already know that gog has a different marketing team than cdpr and that they fired the guy that made the original joke

@Nibellion The 'one vagina option' already says a lot of not-good about their priorities. But I have what I think is an important question. Is there a 'none' option? I have some extremely big concerns if they went to all this effort and didn't include a 'no' option.

@StakerHopkins True, but you didn't specify that part before!

@AClerisy When have we last argued though, Ashleigh?

I somewhat miss that those I used to most vehemently argue with are either busy, dead, or simple irrelevant to me.

@StakerHopkins ((Kreia is the only Star Wars character that recognizes Star Wars is dumb bullshit and rightfully hates it. She is by default my favorite Star Wars character.))

((happy may the fourth. kreia did nothing wrong))

@pcgamer They would have to pay me.

How much would you pay for a limited edition Cyberpunk 2077 graphics card? buff.ly/3aRlKHF

@IGN Portal 2, Breath of the Wild, and... Uhm. The rest of those I want nothing to do with. Can I spend my third to take away some one else's Witcher or God of War?

You can only pick three. Choose wisely.

@thamynadamus @DrLevsky Personally, I advise being cautious in general around antiques, lest they be cursed or possessed. Or around newly created things, lest they be some suspicious, secretly nefarious tool. Basically, I advise only trusting things that are double-digit years old. No more or less.

Sooo this thing started shaking and screaming today and now there are ghosts all over my house
