characters raised to be tools

Weapons. Trained, tested, forged in steel and fire. Failure is an inevitability that ends in death. Pain should not be felt--it should be recognized, familiar, and inconsequential

Martyrs. In the form of servants and princes, of leaders and underdogs. If blood is necessary, the martyr will lift their hands and offer it all

Shields. Like tempering a sword, but only to bear and not to lash out. Wounds are medals--not symbols of pride, but symbols of worth. A pretty shield is useless; scars mean a job well done

Experiments. Raised on the cold comfort of a lab table. Restraints are only necessary when they're not in their right mind. Is it honorable, to be twisted beyond recognition? Or is it just a necessary evil?

Monsters. Cruelty, caution, and regarding one as a creature beyond reasonable thought is tempering in its own right. But if you keep a leash at the right length, perhaps the massecre won't reach you. One can hope.

Idols. Pretty face, pretty name, pretty hands around their shoulders and throat. There to seduce, manipulate, force any feeling to come to the surface and twist it to their favor. Any genuinity stays locked behind the guilded cage that surrounds their pretty little heart

Trophies. Status and wealth and the traditions that keep someone at their heels, on their knees, to display and serve and decorate one's ballroom.

Sacrifices. Drenched in honorable clothes, prepared and adored and cleansed. The gift of hope at the cost of one's life. Is it taken with no fight? How can you escape the ropes you were born in?

The narrative lead of the mobile remake of DE is the marketing guy who pushed the "forbidden fruity kisses" marketing for collage mode

The mobile remake is streamlined into four preset linear game days, with no ingame clock. No free exploration

get a load of this guy:

Don't buy this thing. Don't help the algorithm by trying the free chapters en masse as it releases. Ignore this thing. Let this thing tank.

Yeah same. There are things I have wanted to go to but they’re in the USA and it’s like. Not worth risking getting refused entry. And if I, a white British person with RP accent and Anglo-sounding name, have that concern, how much worse is it for others?

the oilbird, also known as the guácharo, is a member of the nightjar family found in northern portions of south america. they are named for the unfortunate fact that previously, chicks were boiled down to create oil. oilbirds are unique in that they are the only nocturnal, flighted fruit-eating bird (the kākāpō is fruit eating and nocturnal, but flightless). they are skilled in flight, with tiny feet useless for anything other than clinging to vertical surfaces. they are one of the only birds capable of echolocation.

I was walking with Niece #1, age 11, and Niece #4, age 6, and a car went by reeking of pot, and Niece #1 said, "Oh, those people were smoking," and Niece #4 said, "Yeah, their car definitely smelled like smoke," and it occurred to me that this is really the only "smoking" they know, they encounter cigarette smoke very infrequently these days, but the pot smoke is everywhere, that's their "smoke."
