Save-and-quit bugs have got to be some of my favourite bug reports because of the bugfuck situations in which people had to have decided to park their game for the day in order to discover them.

"Bug: saving and quitting while riding elevator preserves position of player character, but not position of elevator, causing player character to fall into elevator shaft on load." Why did you save and quit while riding an elevator?

"Bug: saving and quitting during boss fight phase transition results in two copies of boss on load." Why did you save and quit during a phase transition?

"Bug: saving and quitting while on fire causes player character to proc fire damage ticks on load equal to elapsed time between play sessions and explode." Why did you save and quit while on fire?

At some point you really start to understand why a lot of developers just decide to disable saving entirely in any situation other than standing motionless on solid ground while suffering from no ongoing statuses and with no hostile creatures nearby.

Something that bugs me a lot in Dawntrail discourse is watching people who think they are defending the expansion argue away its best aspect. Because here's the thing: Wuk Lamat isn't like prior FFXIV characters. She takes up way more space than them. That's good!

A common thread you see in defenses is that people are complaining about things they were fine with earlier in the story. "Oh well actually Lyse was also the main character of Stormblood and people didn't hate her as much!" or "Heavensward is the story of Aymeric and Estinien and Ysayle, and the Warrior of Light doesn't do that much!" or "No one complained when Gaia jumped into the Eden raids, or when Emet showed up during Seat of Sacrifice" with the implied conclusion of "Wuk Lamat's not different from any other previous major character, your complaints have more to do with [sexism/transphobia/your crippling insecurity about not being the main character] than the way she's written." First of all people did hate Lyse. I get what you are saying but they very much did hate Lyse.

But Wuk Lamat is different. She's different because Dawntrail is unapologetically, full-throatedly her story. She is there at the start, she is there at the end, she is there basically all the way through except for a brief interlude. She is the character you talk to the most, she is also the character that talks the most. She has more of a complete arc than anyone else in the expansion. The antagonists develop much stronger direct and personal relationships to her than they ever do with you. Several major characters have relationships to you through her more than they do with you directly. At multiple points in the story you explicitly step back and are like "Go right ahead, queen, do the main character stuff." She 100% takes your role in certain ways. She's literally a new WL to your WoL!

and that's awesome! Like, holy shit! If you had traveled back in time and told me after Endwalker, "Hey, the next expansion will be almost solely and entirely focused on the character journey of a young woman, and she'll be nuanced and complex and allowed to fail but also allowed to succeed wildly, and her characterization will be interesting and her ideals will be very directly challenged, and she'll get to do some real classic 'sorry my noble opponent but I must stop you, even though I sympathize' shit, and the way she is framed won't feel excessively male-gazey, and she won't get stuck in the FFXII Ashe Miniskirt, and she won't just be someone you watch and clap for while the real protagonist and narrator is some random guy in her entourage," I would've been like "haha, okay, I like FFXIV as much as the next guy but I don't think it's shaken its baseline sexism off enough to do an expansion entirely about a woman and her personal growth and what makes her a good leader, especially after Stormblood's mixed reception. And CBU3 definitely doesn't have the guts to make her even more of a main character than any other prior NPC, and you didn't mention this part future time traveler, but I also don't believe they'll be willing to cast a trans woman in the role." And I would have been fucking wrong!

Yes, Wuk Lamat is the main character. Yes, she does get more attention than other NPCs, or even your Warrior of Light. And yes, that's totally fine, and even something to praise!!! You don't have to run from it to accommodate people who are looking for something to complain about!

Origami Franziska von Karma designed+folded by me from an uncut square of blue and orange double tissue paper. 32 grid boxpleat. Got inspired to make her while playing through Bridge to the Turnabout.

This was the initial test fold from a paper I just had lying around, so may revisit her in the future. I wasn't planning on color changing the whip, but it's in the corner of the paper, so it was easy to adjust.

its just like. when people see somebody say something hateful online, half of them probably just immediately keep scrolling. a quarter of the other half block them, and then keep scrolling. the last quarter all decide to try and report, but when you hide the subject of said report under two menus and then a fucking questionnaire where they basically have to grovel and explain how saying a slur is bigoted, how many of that final quarter are actually going to finish that report? when they could just as easily block and move on? it simply doesnt encourage users that staff actually want to clean up the site.

well ive been working on these ladies for a While and well they. they are done that is what i will say they are done. as u all know ive lately developed an interest on fashion dolls and what do you do when you get a new interest? you fuse them in your frankensteins lab of any and all other past interests in a desperate attempt to get a better high so heres my take on some classic r63s, this time safe for children over five years old choking hazards may apply. which one are YOU picking up in your local toy aisle today

also in spirit of doll line things YOU the people can vote on the next fashion pack, from an assortment of the most cliche sets i could think of
