I was in the middle of making a shitpost mocking my own hypocrisy as I criticize good only players even though I do the same thing. But it made me realize an interesting commonality between good and evil only players. For some context, here is my original shitpost that I decided to turn into an essay:

Good only players: I just can't be evil or mean. I don't like it when NPC's are sad.

Me: Pfft, pathetic. They're not real, you can't hurt their feelings.

Also me: *commits numerous moral atrocities cause I don't like it when Minthara (an NPC) is sad*

This is a very common sentiment amongst good only players of being unable to do evil playthroughs or make choices that are less than neutral. The emotions and feelings of NPC's does matter to them and evil choices could hurt these NPC's. And this is something a lot of evil only players, including myself, tend to scoff at and belittle good only players for doing. Well, good only players, I am going to humbly apologize for this specific judgement because I realize you and I are not all too different. (Don't worry, I am still going to judge you in general, just not for this). Good only and evil only players both actually do care about the feelings of pixels and NPC's and made up characters, it is just that good only players and evil only players have different criteria for determining which NPC's to care about.

The biggest distinction between which NPC's to care about is the line that separates good and evil alignment (in terms of DnD, not real world moral principles). Good alignment puts the collective over the individual. So good only players are looking at everyone and everything and seeing that they are all important and that no one singular life takes precedence over hundreds of others. That an NPC's mere existence is enough to make good only players care, no matter how insignificant or useless the NPC is. Evil alignment puts the individual over the collective. Where evil only players really only care about what is right in front of them and that an NPC simply existing does not mean they are owed attention or sympathy. That someone has to be significant to an evil only player in order for them to care. This isn't to say that good only players don't care for the individual and evil only don't care for the collective, it is merely a matter of priority.

A big criticism evil only players tend to get is that we are often called heartless or uncaring, but that isn't true, at least not to the extent good only players claim. Evil only players do care about NPC's, but have a much more narrow set of NPC's they care about. Using me as an example, I care about Minthara (an NPC). And I make certain choices in the game because I genuinely do not want her to be sad or upset. And it does not bother me that the grove has to pay the price because to me they are insignificant, unimportant, and I have no reason to put them over Minthara. Slaughtering the grove makes her happy, but it also is the start of her character arc where she realizes something is wrong. This does not mean I make every single possible evil decision or that I murder everyone on sight. Yes, sometimes I do murder, sometimes I do kill cause it makes her laugh and smile. But sometimes, I do ignore her because sometimes her suggestions are not good for her. And although I want her happy, her long term happiness is my end goal, not temporary satisfaction. The NPC that factors into my decision making is her and her only.

Whereas good only players are the opposite. Even if they did care about Minthara, they also care about the grove. And the collective that is the grove is more important than a single companion. It is why most of them just knock her out because it is the best of both worlds. But a handful do kill Minthara because in Act 1, she is a threat to the grove and her life is not more important than the grove to them. They are willing and able to live without that one special Act 1 scene, because one singular scene truly does not have the same value as all the scenes they'd miss if they killed the grove. One companion does not have the same value as all the NPC's and the companions they'd lose by raiding the grove. And I'll bet many good only players just ignore her murdery suggestions. It isn't cause they don't care about her, but because the people she wants them to kill are just as important to them. For good only players, they factor in all NPC's at the same time, and will overrule the singular NPC who acts against the rest.

But Minthara isn't the only one, I do the same for a lot of the other companions as well. Where I care more about them, than any perceived benefit that an outside group would get. For example, in all my playthroughs, there were only 2 where I became Absolute (both embrace Durge runs). Most of the time, I destroy the brain. Not because I want to save the world, but because I did not want to subject my friends to the cruelty of the Absolute. The world benefiting is just a consequence of a choice born of selfish reasons. A good only player also cares about their friends, but they are also thinking of the world. To them, saving the world is more important and their friends being saved is a consequence of living in that world.

Same when it comes to Shadowheart's Dark Justiciar choice. I care more about her than I care about whatever happens to Last Light. Sometimes I have her embrace Shar, other times I have her reject Shar, it really depends on what I am role-playing. I don't care about the Nightsong, I don't care that Last Light gets saved or not, and I do not care about the morality of the choice. I care about Shadowheart and only Shadowheart in this instance and outside NPC's do not factor into my decision (even when I have her reject Shar). But to good only players, not only is Shadowheart important, but so is the Nightsong and so is Last Light.

I feel like a lot of people misunderstand what evil in RPG's look like and perceive it as murder and only murder. That you're just an asshole and spit in people's faces and live to make NPC's cry all the time. No, that is comically evil (which I refer to as Chaotic stupid). Evil is just as nuanced and complex as goodness, and it isn't defined by murder (because sometimes, even good aligned characters kill too). Sometimes evil is selfishness, which doesn't always result in death or murder, although it often does. One does not need to kill to be selfish. But sometimes, selfishness can indirectly lead to deaths, even though you quite literally did nothing. Sometimes, evil means putting one's own personal benefit over the collective benefit. But acting solely for one's personal benefit does not necessarily result in harm to the collective because sometimes the collective can still benefit from someone being selfish.

I have found a beautiful perfect humble rock specimen that is light yellow with a weird dark yellowy brown lining, somewhat resembling a chunk of smoked gouda cheese... effervescent

[what-is-it-to-be-pk-esque]

My partner finally finished BG3 but has no idea that his ending was actually bad cause he was a pro-Vlaakith githyanki who rode off with Lae'zel but got NO EPILOGUE where Withers points out y'all died im 😭😭😭

they have no idea what happened with Gale or anyone else (who was still alive) after flying away 🙃🙃🙃

[scalpelsister]

what if i lost the will to live like. as a joke. what then.

[parasitoidism]

the reason i specifically try to avoid any and all persona related leaks is because if I hear anything about a persona 1 2 or 4 remake it's going to pre-emptively kill off a substantial number of my braincells. different reasons for each game

[trans-estinien]

i think its hilarious i tried to be friends with the other theater seniors last year like. bestie you are the weirdest freak of them all theres no way they like you. why did i even tryyyy. i wouldve been better off not giving a fuck but i ruined prom and my entire graduation. wow.

[nordic-language-love]

Can someone please tell me the benefits of giving kids smartphones

[killjpeg-reblogs]

yall should play smile for me or mad rat dead or everhood or something. like there are so many cool indie games made by queer creators and creators of color but you choose to support people who are openly racist or bigoted. idk man

[talizorah]

my poor tav is so confused as to why everyone wants to fuck her, and she finally found peace after turning everyone at camp down, at least until a fucking MINDFLAYER is like "... hey baby ... <3"

she's like "what have i done to deserve this"

[not-gray-politics]

can we also talk about how without fail all of these arguments are almost always weaponized against minority creators representing themselves in their media. It does not escape me that every time the internet bandwagons on hating something and calling the writing and art direction bad, the creator is a queer person writing queer characters, a woman writing for other women and girls, a poc writing for other poc, or a combination of the three. Everyone acts like that's not the "REAL reason" they hate that piece of media, but after the 50th time, I think we can all see right through it. When I see someone jumping onto a hate bandwagon, I always want to ask.. Did you even watch/play/read it? Or did you just listen to someone else's opinions on it and make them your own? If you did experience the media yourself, did you go into it having already formed a bad opinion of it? In getting involved with the online discourse around it, did you listen to ANY positive opinions on it, or do you just block out/send hate to anyone who enjoys it because it makes you feel morally superior? Think about it. Seriously, whoever's reading this, go reflect on that. Think about the piece of media YOU specifically don't like and ask yourself these questions. Dig into it.

You want more minority representation in media but if they have flaws its problematic and if theyre perfect theyre a patronizing mary sue. If they crack under the pressure of the conflict the author thinks that minority is weak and if they overcome the adversity they must be a neoliberal bootlicker who thinks real world bigotry is a matter of personal attitude. You want minority characters but if theyre a villain its violently problematic and if theyre the protagonist then we circle back to the very first sentence. If theyre a side character theyre being sidelined and the author is once again bigoted, and don't you know that every single minority character death is unilaterally bigoted, without exception? You want more minority characters but if their identity is a big part of their personality or struggles then they're problematic and if their identity has nothing to do with their personality or struggles then the author is tokenizing that identity for clout. You want more minority characters but every time theres a minority character who doesnt have every single experience that you have then you tell the author to kill themselves on twitter. You wonder why not even minority authors will write minority characters.

I would ask you to read Catch-22, but you'd just call the military base problematic.

I played a little bit of Mary Skelter 2 last night, and I really don't know how I feel about certain mechanics in it, or at least one particular one.

Like, the licking mechanic, it just makes me a little uncomfortable that there's a mechanic for licking your party members to get stronger, like that just personally turns me off of the game quite a bit.

I'd heard good things about the story in the past, so I'm sticking with it through that, but that detail just bothers me a bit.

It could just be that it's a type of game I'm not used to, I don't really know.

I just happened to save a draft about how much I appreciate the accessibility of the Switch joycons.

With my wrist/finger problems, it’s hard for me to hold a computer mouse for long, and it’s hard for me to hold a controller for a long time as well. But, the way the joycons are so small and can be separated allows me to place my arms in whatever position I like, and the joycon itself is so lightweight that my hands can hold them comfortably. If I position myself just right, I can finally play games I haven’t been able to play in fear of hurting myself. I've got pretty big hands too, so the separation feature keeps me from having to bunch my hands together around a tiny controller.

I know joycons are pretty delicate and a lot of people complain about drift, but I think they’re still a step in a good direction and refining their design as opposed to throwing them out all together could mean great things for accessibility of games in general.

“I went to school for game design! I am highly qualified to talk about any game out there!”

I bet you don’t even know how big an 8 year old’s hands are.
