I finally played Slay the Princess. About time. The existential horror and romance was *mwah*. My compliments to the authors. I'll probably play Scarlet Hollow next.

Voice of the opportunistttt

I want to bite that little car salesman so badly

[wynn-ing]

i love Oppy as the frog and or scorpion but consider also; Oppy as cordyceps. You have to take me higher. I can't do it myself. I need you to do it. I know it will kill you but I need you to believe it won't. Lift me up. Please. You have to. As high as you can. Until you can't climb anymore. Until I am all that remains. I don't know what happens next, but this is what I have to do. I don't know why. I have to. I will never apologise. I can't. This is all I am. Take me higher.

During this time

of the year, and I guess always, there will also be the opportunists. And they can be tiny and adorable like the Titmouse but also overwhelming like a group of European Starlings. Well, and the MoDos…

Roguish Archetype: Opportunist

Hey folks! This took an unreasonable amount of time to get done. I’ve returned to my roots for an easy project with a conversion of a Pathfinder prestige class. Writing it out was pretty simple, but it took forever to get with my brew buddy to get it looked at due to some unfortunate circumstances that I won’t elaborate on for privacy reasons. But then it took even longer to get the final…

Hello! I made the Opportunist, a bit too much of him, actually.

His tie isn't actually just red, it's a lie detector, but he lies so often that it's almost always just red. I got tired of just giving out a mouth to everyone without reason, so I gave The Opportunist a stockmarket? Line diagram? Something like that, to look like a mouth. His ear is kinda like an arrow pointing up, but when things are going badly for him, the line points down to represent a frown, the arrow too. His talons are darker than the rest of his legs to appear as some proper footwear even though he isnt wearing any, and there are arrows on his legs. I gave his feather pattern the shape of a suit, kinda. I gave him those eyes, like a smile that doesnt reach them. He hides his (small) wings behind his back, and his hands are also behind his back to hide the (nothing at all) knife that he's holding. Also, with Smitten for scale, the Opportubist is quite short really. Like a slimy eel.

I really liked designing the Opportunist, he was so fun, and so is his character. He's so flippy-floppy, it's hilarious! He's a walking contradiction, and I love him for it. He's a self-serving people-pleaser, he has his own goals, but they "just happen" to be exactly what was just said before. It's like he wants everyone to like him, but he also doesnt care how he's perceived.

Spoiler alert, Pristine cut.

In the new Spectre chapter, "The hero and the dragon". The opportunist, in our body, after hearing we're with the Princess, just goes "Oho! Let's kill two birds with one stone!" And stabs the princess. But the moment we're back, he goes "You're back! :D I missed you the most!" And all that, so two-faced it's funny. He says "Let's kill the princess, we just stabbed her, she's probaply pissed!" But as soon as we hold hands with her, he's the one asking if it's nice.

I might talk more about him later, but that's all I've got for now.

i know you like oppy but how do you feel about the (MANY) similarities between him and hero ? :3c

...I'm not gonna lie, I hadn't noticed any before, so I did a quick run through of the witch to answer this one properly.

They both flip sides a lot, don't they? I always assumed that hero would side with whatever the most obviously ethical decision was in the moment, but looking back that's not quite right. Even if he disagrees at first, he'll side with whatever the player chooses, and if it ends poorly, he never holds it over you- he's just disappointed, and more often than not, surprised that it didn't pan out. True to form, hero really and truly believes that we'll make the right decision, even when it seems obviously wrong. (Except if you attempt to get the Good Ending after your first go-round, which is interesting, but that's a thought for a different time.)

Opportunist definitely gets his I-told-you-sos in. His highest motivation, though, is always the wellbeing and success of the player, unlike some of the other voices, who may prioritize answers or fun or even love. Though oppy definitely has stronger opinions on the means to reach their goal, their motives are the same- the highest possible good for the body that they all share.

Similarly to the hero, opportunist also jumps into the boat of whatever option was chosen, though I suspect this is less of trust in us and more an attempt to retain our favor because we hold more power than he does.

It's also interesting how often opportunist will suggest an idea and then hero will like it. It doesn't happen frequently, but considering I've always viewed hero as our moral compass, it makes me re-evaluate his character a little.

I take it that these are not all the parallels, so if you have more to point out, please do! I love hero, and for some reason I don't understand oppy as well, so thanks for giving me a chance to let them occupy that much more of my headspace 😉

Musk is known as a cybernetic or techno-fascist, as is clear from the promo video; control of information processing will reduce the value of ordinary and poor people to a resource for protein and water! The elite will call it reprocessing, for everyone else it will be genocide, on an unparalleled scale. The movie ‘Soylent Green’ partially predicted it. Cybernetics ends the dependence on renewable resources necessary for human sustenance, which are in danger of extinction and degradation. Entropy is the result of accelerating the unsustainable production of non-renewables. #AIMarketingDeathCult

deciding to yap about my oppy design except it’s a bunch of little details I really like

I went for a car salesman vibe where he’s really shady and you have the feeling he’s gonna try to sell you something as he compliments you to get on your good side. Whatever he’s selling is NOT to be trusted. It’s probably already broken, is over priced, will potentially put you in danger, or all three. there’s like a 90% chance it’s a pyramid scheme product. Golden tooth for extra shady salesman vibes. His entire outfit is literally just what I could think of when I thought “shady car salesman”

His hands are red because he got caught “red-handed” :3 (yes it was entirely a pun) but looking at it again, it could be symbolism for the blood on his hands. other than that, it’s just one entire pun

His mask is permanently stuck to his face because of how his hides his true opinions just to suck up to whoever is in power. He’s constantly wearing a mask for people and only shows his true nature when he thinks he’s the one in power.

He has a deer tail for yet another pun, but this one is more symbolic in the way he fawns when met with a fight or flight situation. He tries to appease the threat as if he’ll be “spared”

His wings are clipped because I wanted him not to be able to fly. Something about looking like a bird but not being able to do the one thing birds are most known for.

He’s black and white to show how two-faced he is and how he’s never on just one side. His mask being white was basically just because it looked good, but also white being a symbol for purity ties in again with the mask being both literal and figurative.

I’m going to punch him and bite him and give him rabies. Also he’s probably 5’1 but wears heeled dress shoes or those shoe inserts that make you taller

You were that way from the beginning. When you saw an opportunity to succeed, you took it. You knew how great you were—you were ruthless about it. That’s what I most admire in you. You never look back. You commit to be great and become even better. Me? I always look back. I am a pillar of salt.
