I happened to buy the art book for this game this week because it looked appealing, had never heard of the game before or played it. Would you share what you like about it? :rice_ball:

My 188 cm height says very yes but my 8 STR says no x_x

Kinetic and agile side scrolling beat 'em up with a pleasant aesthetic and soundtrack, but also a farming simulator. Yet to confirm if there is a fishing minigame (hoping for one).

Precocious child goddess learns to be humble is an immediately adequate hook.

Patrick Seitz (using his Artanis voice, rather than his Garrosh voice) is a friendly farmer.
and even though she’s just a side character (so far?) I’m a big fan of Kokorowa’s design

Sometimes I regret going to twitter. I really, really hate it.

Peeve: TERFs.

Then don’t!

A sub-peeve is TERFs claiming they speak for all feminists. No, they do not speak for me and in fact I take issue with them appropriating a label they don’t deserve. Respectfully, a feminist.

I watch artists there and no matter how many words i block and things i click “i dont want to see this” on, I still get bs like s*x *tters hashtags and The Terfling everywhere. I fear for the future :frowning:

From my experience, that’s people’s number one reason why they continue to use birdsite despite hating it. And that worries me. The right answer, I think, is to ask the artists you follow to crosspost somewhere else, ideally a blog or gallery with an RSS feed.

this helps your twitter experience immensely (it permanently hides the ‘trending’ tab)

Hear The Cat get off the sofa, but don’t hear him anymore. Turn around to find him and call him. He’s under my chair.

Of course, now I have started talking to him, he’s yelling back.

This is me. Some people have mentioned that I just -constantly- rp Desartin, and for the most, that is true, even if I sometimes pull out my death knight too. But I dunno, I just know Des well and find it fun to see him respond to different situations.

Your mistake was going to Twitter in the first place.

After War Gundam X is a show with some great characters, charming moments, a good theme that is well permeated throughout the show, and a first episode that establishes both protagonist and the setting in a compelling way. It’s hard not to cheer on Garrod+Tiffa’s clumsy yet earnest romance.

Jamil (former teen gundam pilot traumatised by what he did/saw during war) is a pretty great choice for a ship captain. I appreciated that they outright call his problems PTSD.

Unfortunately the actual plot of the show is kinda snoozeworthy and its pacing is at times glacial (how many times will Garrod run away from the ship? At least three within the first ten episodes) and at other times very fast. It also ends “early” at a mere 39 episodes vs the expected 46-52 that other older gundam shows got, apparently because of production issues and general lack of popularity at the time.

I will nevertheless call it generally pretty solid.

when your chatacterisation is on point but the plot fairy has gone on an extended holiday u_u

What be thy draw weight?

No idea, but it’s pretty low. I’m not strong in the arms, having neglected physical training for years, and I’m using beginner bows. Admittedly my stamina is improving and it may not be long before I move to bows with higher draw strength.

I knew it, Lintian is actually a night elf amazon archer IRL, maybe not right now, but soon to be.
