((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?

((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.))

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

((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.))

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

((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.))

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

((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.))

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

https://t.co/RhmjqukKjr ((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'.))

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

((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.))

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

((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! https://t.co/d8hYu2Si41 Spoilers galore!))

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

@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.

@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.

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

((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.

https://t.co/d3NYLHZ1P7))

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

@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.

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

@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.

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

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

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

@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.))

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

@pcgamer They would have to pay me.

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

@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?

[Ash Clerisy @AClerisy]

@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.
