Im doing a lot of thinking abt why roleplaying feels different/less natural for me in beastlife s4 in comparison to s3, and i think it’s because there’s ways i know i should be feeling (based on the perception of my character— when i was fresh out of s2 nobody knew enough about my guy to have opinions) vs how i am feeling. I’m catching myself thinking, “it wouldn’t make sense for my character to [blank],” and it’s like… what do i mean by that. what do i mean that this feeling im having in-session “wouldnt make sense for my character” to feel? It might be surprising to other beasts who know me for one thing and expect consistency, i guess?? but in s3 i just acted on feelings and then shit happened. what. why am i trying to enforce a character that does not exist when the strength of mcrp lies in its improvisational nature. I didn’t write this guy on purpose, why am i trying to write him now

Does Final Fantasy VII Rebirth have a thing for seeing tutorials again anywhere? I don't see any in the menu (unless they're hidden behind system?).

Because there's just so much in this game, that would be nice to have (FFXVI had that). Like, I just got a tutorial for how to look for hidden treasure with my chocobo... but the tutorial was so fast, and they of course only showed it once, that I'm already screwing it up and not sure I'm using the right button prompts. And I think I wandered too far away from where the chocobo caught the scent, in trying to find this treasure, but in going back now, the blue question marks aren't coming up again to indicate the area the treasure's in at all:( I was worried this was a one shot deal kind of thing (like, if you accidentally walk away from the treasure, the prompts won't come up again), but Google tells me that isn't the case.

Thankfully, I saved literally right before this whole thing, so I'm going to reset and try again, but still...

Edit: Problem solved. @keybladebard Let me know they're in the "manual" section of the main menu:)

By Your Side but 君が居なくなった日

Made a mistake at the end but this was the best attempt

Was practicing the song and suddenly had this idea so I arranged it a bit more

having to go to sleep earlier when i'm literally chronically ill and experience extreme chronic fatigue that never goes away and that sleeping never cures, and having to conserve energy to do even the most basic of things like brushing my teeth and showering, feeling exhausted, even after sleeping 8-10 hours, and being unable to wake up on my alarms and snoozing them, even when i do get proper sleep, is wrong and a burden.

the reason why i sleep so long now, which is a huge change from my sleep schedule from when i was healthy, where i could literally function just fine eating once a day and on 6 hours of sleep, is because i'm chronically ill, because my body is literally under constant stress and inflammation, because i have poor circulation, because my body is riddled with multiple different symptoms from my illnesses.

being diagnosed with multiple medical issues that affect me daily and having to conserve energy and adapt and accommodate to my body's new needs and changes, especially when i have an important medical procedure for my condition for the first time, and expressing that need to sleep in order to conserve energy for it, because it's going to be a long and stressful day for me, is wrong and a burden.

feeling exhausted and needing to not eat meals late because it always worsens my already awful stomach issues and pain and nausea and flares up the symptoms of my condition every time if i don't, and makes me feel sicker than i already feel every day, is wrong.

it's wrong to have basic human needs and to try to do what you can and work with what you can with your condition to alleviate symptoms as much as possible, even if it's only slightly, because you always demonize and villainize me for it.

i'm supposed to shut up and stay quiet whenever you yell at me and lash out at me, whenever you mistreat me, all for your convenience, and treat me without any basic decency, because i'm not a human being in your eyes, i'm a punching bag for you to take your problems out on, and i always have been.

it's always you saying empty words and never following through with actions. it's always you telling me to "voice your needs and concerns", but i can't so much as even make a basic statement in the calmest way possible about needing to sleep earlier, literally while laying in bed because -- surprise! -- i'm feeling sick and exhausted from my chronic illness! because the literal second i do, you immediately demonize me for it and immediately jump to being hateful and make false accusations towards me every time.

you blame and guilt trip your self proclaimed "best friend" and someone you claim to care about -- someone you've seen firsthand be repeatedly traumatized and grieve the loss of their health and abilities, losing their life and missing out on opportunities and doing the things they love, and losing the abilities to do things they used to do when they were healthy. you've explicitly seen their declining health and seen them experiencing repeated medical trauma for over a year and a half since december 2022, and yet you demonize them.

you demonize someone with a chronic illness, all for saying that they need to sleep and eat earlier for an extremely important procedure -- that i literally fucking FOUGHT tooth and nail to get, and was a literal miracle to even get.

you treat my basic needs as nothing but an inconvenience for you, when i went through repeated medical trauma and invalidation and waited for MONTHS ON END to even get this procedure that will give me more information about my condition and can possibly give me a treatment plan, all while my extremely debilitating flare ups and symptoms have actively progressed and worsened and have wreaked havoc on my body, and new symptoms ones have occured and affected me in the meantime since i've had to wait and beg for the bare minimum fucking scraps of treatment or help while my health rapidly gets worse.

when the multiple other times i've asked to sleep at a decent time, whether you're gaming or not, even within this very week, were all ignored by you, you turn around and have the audacity to shove the blame on me for your own actions and behaviors in snapping at me out of nowhere, and making baseless accusations and guilt tripping statements towards me, all because i did something you specifically asked me to do -- in asking you to set a reminder, and clarifying that i needed to sleep and eat early because it was getting late?

i was feeling exhausted and needed to try to prepare myself for a procedure and travel almost 2 hours when it's a procedure i dread -- but know i have to do to get more information about my illness -- where my sensory issues are overwhelmed and triggered because of my claustrophobia and loud noises, but god forbid i express my needs, the very thing you tell me to do, then punish me for.

the way you treat me is completely warranted and free of criticism, right? you treating me like a punching bag is completely okay for you to do, right?

i know if i gave you the same treatment you shove onto me without any consideration for the face that i'm a living human being with feelings, you would antagonize me to hell and back and tear me apart for it.

you treat me like a goddamn object and punching bag for having basic human needs, and you deliberately always go out of your way to play the victim card in every situation, and twist my need for sleep into something it's not, and ignore me all because i said word for word that i didn't appreciate being treated so hatefully.

because as always, endlessly, for the past almost decade, you have always done this every single time, and you always show that you believe that you can never do anything wrong and are free of faults in any situation where you hurt someone and refuse to ever take accountability.

you reinforce the face that everyone has to be quiet and tolerate your behavior and walk on eggshells for your convenience, otherwise you lash out, demonize, blame, and threaten them, all while you continue to hurt them.

you're hellbent on blaming everyone around you for your own choices and behaviors, you do nothing to change or work on them after people voice their concerns, and you lash out and make everyone suffer for so much as even telling you that your behavior hurts them or makes them uncomfortable, and you demonize them to hell and back if they utter a word about it, because god forbid anyone tells you how you make them feel when you'll vilify and punish them for it.

i'm not allowed to be anything other than a docile doll who never speaks up about anything that bothers her or voices her needs, unless i want to face ableism, guilt trips, being yelled at, being demonized, and being blamed for things out of my control.

i am simply meant to endure the hurtful ways i'm treated and take it all with a smile, for everyone's happiness and convenience.

needing to eat and sleep normally to avoid worsening and flaring up my already debilitating symptoms for a procedure they explicitly knew i had 2 weeks in advance, is wrong and horrible, according to them.

they always treat me like i'm a burden, and treat me like a burden for needing to eat and sleep normally and to have a healthy schedule when i literally need it to function, especially now more than ever with my chronic illnesses and symptoms, because not doing so causes flare ups and makes me feel worse.

i'm a horrible person for being sick and needing the two basic things people literally need to function and survive, especially when i'm literally going to inevitably flare up my symptoms tomorrow and have to prepare for a huge and stressful day of travel and a medical procedure tomorrow.

i should just starve myself and never sleep and die, because it's wrong to even need to do so according to them.

I'm so curious about what an Eddsworld rpg would be like. Something that like follows every pre-leg Eddsworld plot in an rpg format mayhaps? I would have so much fun with zombeh, spares, ghost, or even 'The End' Tord as a secret extra hard boss battle, kinda rpg levels. Would be so fun omg.
