NSR Fandom, Help Me [RESOLVED]
Edit (6/29/24, later in the day):
Alright, with some help from @anger-ey (thanks again for the help ^o^), I think I finally have the answer to where this came from.
SO, it looks like this "fact" was originally on Kliff's page on the Metronomik wiki as unsourced trivia. Back then, it seems like the site was prone to people just writing whatever they wanted, so I guess I read it there first and internalized it as a fact.
(Even though when I first posted about it, I acknowledged that it wasn't said on record, so *that's* the part that I forgot.)

Edit (6/29/24):
So yeah. It turns out I actually did just make this up from nothing, and just forgot that I made it up.
"Just something I was thinking about a few days ago. I don’t think it’s ever been said on record that Kliff’s design is inspired by Dio, but I’m pretty sure that’s true. There are a bunch of other Jojo references in the game, so I don’t think another one is that far-fetched. Not that I know anything about Jojo anyway." (source)
So yeah, sorry about that, but thank you to everyone that tried to help me out~

Original Post:
So, early on in this fandom's history, my "job" was essentially collecting trivia for the game. If you look at some of my oldest posts tagged "NSR," that's mostly what you'll find in between the bad fanart. Character trivia gleaned from dev livestreams, details about certain bugs or rare events, etc. As such, I have a good chunk of knowledge about incidental details about the game.
However, there's some trivia in my brain that says, "Kliff was lightly modeled after Dio Brando from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure." but I don't have a source for that, and it's not written in any of the trivia posts I've made before.
I have 0 interest in Jojo, so I don't think it's something I would have observed and concluded for myself. It's also somewhat supported by the fact that there are other Jojo references present in NSR, (like Retdex's sprite pose, and Zuke's pants pattern). I am 90% certain that someone, somewhere, officially said that, but I can't remember who or where.
Can anybody verify that for me, or did I really convince myself that this was true based on literally nothing?

I ordered some ceramic buttons and I think the seller sent me a (slightly) different set than the one I ordered. They had one leaf button set in a darker green and two listings for a lighter green and I ordered the darker green set but I think they sent the lighter green. That or their product photos for these buttons were much less accurate than they’ve been for the other products I’ve bought from them.
It’s not the end of the world but the color definitely does not look as good with my sweater. It’s ok, but the lighter green doesn’t pop as much against the gray and doesn’t match my green yarn.
I don’t even like telling servers the kitchen got my order wrong at restaurants, so the idea of going into this person’s DMs and being like “the color of these buttons might be wrong” feels impossible. Like… at best I can send these back and get the others, which feels like a hassle for me and the seller, but the dark green buttons were in multiple people’s carts when I ordered and I have a gut feeling a second person ordered one of the other button sets at the same time and the light and dark green buttons just got swapped. OR I’m just being weird and the set I got is the one I ordered.
(Obviously no matter what I do I won’t give a bad rating the buttons in a vacuum are extremely nice!)

I’ve got to go do blood draws for my lab work tomorrow, but I just found a Joann’s gift card I got two years ago and never used, so I think my reward for being brave is going to be some new squishy yarn
