#and thats harder to upgrade

[mistercrowbar]

mumbling grumbling because I finally upgraded BG3 to patch 7 and it doesn't work with my mac anymore, PLUS my save files for Aldiirn's game are incompatible with the patch 6 beta so I have no way to access his game currently. 🥲

I still have comic scripts to last me a while and was thinking of getting a gaming PC after a couple folks offered to make custom body/face mods for him....... but this stinks!!!

gonna be shameless a moment, if you enjoy Aldiirn comics consider throwing a couple bucks to my ko-fi - it'll first go to covering web hosting costs for the year but damn like. THESE BRAIN WORMS EXPENSIVE

Hi Luci, how are you? I wanted to get your opinion on something that’s been on my mind. I’m turning to you because I know you’re objective when it comes to Ferrari.

Given the issues Hamilton is facing with the car and the fact that he hasn’t adapted as many expected by now, do you think the team might shift their setup approach to better suit Lewis?

Also, considering the current state of the championship, do you think Ferrari has a chance to bounce back? Right now, it seems like they’re the third or even fourth fastest car on the grid.

I'm okay, not great considering how things are going this weekend.

Honestly, I think Lewis has adapted. The car just isn't that good. Like yes there have been some gaps to Charles, but I think he's adapted to what he's been given. It's really hard to find the feeling to be competitive in this car and he has found that feeling a few times, it's just such a narrow window and not a very adaptable base. So, not to blame the car but yes also I am blaming the car at this point. I think it's pretty clear.

I mean, really depends on what you mean by bounce back here? Do I think that things will improve? Yes. I think that some upgrades will surely put us higher up the order. If you are asking about championship odds right now, unless the next upgrade package puts us 0.5s ahead of the field for the rest of the year I don't see how that would be possible.

why did google suddenly start singing throw it all away to me when i tried to find out how big you can make your house in animal crossing new leaf

[parasitoidism]

even though I mostly enjoyed reload, I will always standby my opinion that lightly modded portable is the best version of p3, especially now with cutscene restoration mods for both routes. Of course fes has its charm that can't really be replicated, but I think portables qol features put it one step ahead imo

yeah I haven't played portable or reload so i'm not like trying to shit on any games here I don't have an opinion on them really the thing that just troubles me is this idea that if a remake is good and well received enough then there is no real need for the original to exist anymore . like p3r is just the mode through which I'm complaining about it but it is just kinda sad that most people just consider reload to be like, just a straight upgrade from FES

sorry for googling "is shadow of the erdtree hard" do u still think im cool....

[tf-boi]

I stared at you as you anticipate my answer. Lately more and more of my fans have been bold to ask me to transform them that I had to be a bit more careful on who I chose. Not because I felt bad, but because I'm starting to run out of space. I then looked down at my cock. Its still in pretty good shape but lately my boyfriend, his brother, my side piece, and a few other people have been putting him through some work and he's getting tired. "Well, I do need an upgrade I guess" I shrugged, dropping my pants.

You excitedly stripped down naked and knelt down.

I poinred at your phone "Oh be sure to let me know your password in case I want to give you a friend."

You scribble down the password and handed it to me. With the piece of paper in hand, I pressed your face against my cock. You opened wide and started sucking. "Ohhh thats a good boy~" I moaned as I face fucked you. You moaned with every thrust wrapping your tongue around my shaft.

I let your head go and take you to my bed letting you do as you please with my cock. You beging to suck my dick harder as if you haven't eaten in days. "Ahhh~" I moaned as precum started flowing through my tip and down to your gut. You moan in joy as my sweet nectar fill you up. I felt you sticking your tongue down my shaft in order to taste more of me. This new sensation made my lower body numb as I was filled with lust. "S-shit" I muttered as my cum pushed your tongue out and started to fill your body. I wanted to savor you more but I could not hold out. You moan with joy as you swallow gallons of my juices. As your belly fills up it expands like a waterballoon. You tried to catch your breath but realize you could not. You open your eyes to see your mouth fused with my lowerbody, starting the process. You easily surrendered yourself as my hot liquid melts the inside of your body, a hot and intense feeling of lust. Your mind slowly goes blank as you start fusing with me giving me access to all your thoughts and memories. Your arms and legs seem to retract inside of you as you become more cock like. Once you reached the shape of my new cock you began to shrink until you are at a managable size. My pubic hair changing to the color of your hair is all that remains of you on my body. Your stomach filled with my cum becoming my new ball sack.

"You turned out great!" I say, rubbing your new cock body "Even giving me an extra 4 inches bro!" You, not being used to your new body, start to cum a bit. You noticed you getting dumber with each pump you do. "Be careful, the more you cum the more you will lose yourself. Eventually you'll just be a chunk of flesh on my body but your memories are safe with me."

Your phone begins to vibrate, one of your friends are calling. I accessed your memories to get a good mental image in my head "Ooooo... he's not that bad looking." I start to rub my ass "He'd make a great ass don't you think? Who knows maybe I'll shove you in him when I'm done."

You throb with excitement and joy as your new cock life begins.

Another Gideon and Katayanagi HC:

Gideon took interest in them since theyre popular students in his college days , kind of his social ladder.Twins being top students and have this outrageous fashion edge only Japan's Harajuku scene can consider as lowkey. Skills and intellect too to create cutting edge technology. Gideon got close to them while taking a few courses together.

At first they seem wary of him, especially Kyle finding him kinda pushy despite how smooth Gideon is being. Its always up to Kyle for the final decisions between the twins. So Gideon had to try harder in winning his favor.

The twins were known to join amateur. bot fights using their creations. But they struggle to get supplies everytime they need to work on damages or upgrades.

Thats where Gideon got their favor, he propose they start up their own bot fighting scheme in campus. Lots of less experienced opponents and they can make money out of the student body's allowances. But of course such a sweet deal comes with a consequence. This is Gideon we talking about . Of course he'd play dirty. If they dont agree with his offer he got evidence of their deliquent activities outside campus risking their track record. Gideon emcees for these nightly tournaments

It didnt take long for Gideon's dad to recognize the Katayanagis, they well known for being prodigies who managed to step up in getting scholarships in the best university overseas. With an impressive resume to boot.

Also,heres baby Gideon with his dad in the 80s. Probably at a PTA meeting

dont want to make two posts so im putting them both in one (totk thoughts ... uh oh i cannot shut up)

anyone else find raurus arm .. WEIRD? like, judging how the rings on the fingers are literally MADE for absorbing someones elses ability just adds to rauru and the lot of the sonau feeling .. off- what do you mean you wear a bracelet made for incorporating swears of fealty from others and gaining their abilities while they gain nothing?? and then rauru doesnt even seem to make use of that (which i guess is in line with .. the ghost copies links gets going away if the actual sage is there- SO WHATS THE POINT THEN???) though thats a bit more unclear since ..... we dont get to see ANYTHING from the last battle, all standing around with dirt tm texture on them 5 times and then they throw their weapons (weird.... use your damn ability) so zelda can use her new important time power .... once .... to make them fly backwards again and rauru does one thing :/

another thing, funny how the enigma stones are supposedly enhancing whatever powers someone already had, bc other than ganondorf none really gain anything, they act like they achieved some new power level (and suddendly know how to do it as soon as they have the stone) but then its just a silent ghost copy of themselves and they gain ... nothing but some jewelry, i find that a little .. underwhelming? and strange bc why does gan get a nuclear power upgrade and they print a bad copy of themselves and its treated like the same thing (i know its gan and he kinda deserves to get more out of it but do you know what i mean?)

cant help but also feel like its not even .. related to their own ability, like at all, istn it supped to enhance THEIR power, what does a ghost copy have to do with water magic? (wouldnt that more be sth of the shiekah/yiga .. creating copies of yourself?) if anything its something for link to gain .. i guess? or raurus arm i suppose? wouldnt it have been great if they all had a weaker version of the ability at the start and AFTER they gain the stone it gets upgraded, or its like it now is and after the they get their stone its stronger, like maybe rijus is as normal but then when she has the stone it charges faster and doesnt get canceled if she gets knocked over (assuming the way to control the ability stays the same ... which i wouldnt want bc that is so bad to control even if you change it like this) and giving link access to it is just PART of the stones power and not literally all it is

AND THEN ... you cant even argue that it doubles their fighting power bc now theres two of each bc .... the copies ... go away when the actual sage is there .......................................... so its really just a hamfisted way to give you their power ... and its not really giving you their power its giving you a copy of them which is just clunky and unnecessary, you want the theme to be connection (lol where) so you give the player soulless silent ghosts to accompany you ...? not even the real deal? (i know that would be harder to do bc they are all important ppl in their own region and turning them off would be be strange- but them having to teleport around isnt an argument bc they also do that in their dungeon- hello yuno i didnt know you can fall from the sky at will- and all that wouldnt be a problem with my next suggestion

wouldnt it be even MORE of a connection if it worked more like in botw? giving YOU a literal part of their ability, their soul even, and their abilities are now so much a part of you that you cant sever them, its integrated into your moveset, no silent ghosts to run after, your friends are part of you, ACTUAL YOU and not part of an ancient kings arm bracelet rings

MORE AC Mirage thoughts >:) Compiled sporadically

OKAY I'M SO CONSISTENTLY HAPPY WITH RIPPING WANTED POSTERS DOWN. AGH!!!! SO GLAD ITS BACK WE ARE SO BACK

This game is entirely plagued by the fact that he ends up in modern times looking like a hipster, and as our next modern protag 🧍I love it

Despite being still open world like Valhalla and Odyssey, the level design is FAR better and FAR closer to the old ones and its SO NICE. ACV and ACO didnt have... actually much level design at all LMFAO I spent very very little time planning out what I needed to do and the best paths to take and all the things Mirage wants me to do. It works really good!!! Like this early prison break mission was so well thought out while still having all the new game stuff. The wacking Al Ghul mission was fun as hell too like it was so neat fr. That's where I'm paused for now!!

Combat being harder is SO MUCH FUN. I LOVE Valhalla but in it, I quickly just got the best heavy sword possible and max upgraded it and swang it around like a tank bc thats what Eivor is. Super fun too, but Mirage gives me a challenge again. Learning the whole parry system again like Ye Olde Days is fun as hell and feels rewarding when I finally start getting it right. Also, Basim can only take FAR less hits, which is an instant incentive to sneak around instead. Again, Eivor was a tank and I never worried abt it LMFAO.

I love that Basim is the first and only(?) character to have "questions" and falter during all of the assassins creed shenanigans. He couldn't leap of faith. He's confused by the assassination cutscene. There's probably more I forgot. Fun af.

I think it's hilarious how dramatic he is even at shops, just like Eivor is. I constantly made fun of her for that so he gets the same treatment. It's just rlly funny to me when leaving a shop and they dramatically turn to the wind and go like... "I must take my leave... so long..." uheiufhiauhsiuf bro I stopped by just to sell like a tennis ball and 4 teeth

Basim and Ali and Beshi polycule they should fuck. What the hell was that introduction to Ali like ewww get a room ygs. Will I regret this statement later is the question.

Also I love Basim's expressions but I DON'T like how he occasionally has Eivor's idle animations LMFAOO it jumpscares me sometimes but it doesn't injure me. He has plenty of his own.

Also I can't get the bird to land on me?? I need to look up if the bird can do it in this one or not.

I probably have more I'm forgetting. stay tuned.

and also @luv-again hiiii <3

Random petpeeve: Laptops aren't as easy to upgrade as your normal tower computer

Like, maybe you can get more ram if they didn't solder them in. But fans/cooling systems are usually custom to the model. And same with literally every other part head to toe, but I usually find I want better cooling because I usually use harder programs for whatever editing I'm doing. Little tiny things like CMOS batteries, keys, screws, whatever can be fucked around with to fit. I literally file down a couple little tabs on CMOS batteries for work because we bought 30 of the wrong model, but the thats the fanciest we get with it

Maybe If you are a giant need you can Frankenstein something together, my BIL specializes in computer science has friends who have done that a few times to fuck around, but it's never more extensive than putting a different model monitor half on the keyboard half. Which is impressive in itself tbh, for some ungodly reason it's a lot harder than it should be.

Like straight up I would be happy with a giant slab of a computer if that ment i could more easily replace parts. Big enough that I could put in whatever motherboard I want, a new graphics card when I need an upgrade, extra fans so maybe it doesn't burn up as much when running aftereffects or indesign or whatever I'm trying to teach myself. But small enough that I can put it in a bag and plug it in at a cute coffee shop and people watch while I work. But noooo everyone wants to have the coolest sleekest design that's less than a pound and can barely maybe run unmodded stardew valley and possible chrome (not at the same time) so you can check your email then watch something (not at the same time) on one of you monthly subscription services and make powerpoints for work (again, not at the same time, unless you like things running at a snails speed, honestly it will do that even if you only run one thing at a time)

idk, I'm awake earlier than usual and I want to go out to a coffee shop and people watch and work on a random project, but I haven't touched my laptop in a couple years since I got a tower. Like, I'm not a computer person, but I do a lot of DIY shit and work has a few laptops rn that we plan on recycling cause they are old and slow, and part of me wants to see if I can take one home to fuck around with to see if I can some art programs running on it. Buuut I know these laptops well enough to know that I'd want to upgrade a lot of parts, and I haven't even started this project and I am already frustrated at this maybe sisyphean task.

[squeiky]

I think my favorite part about Neo Metal Sonic is the complete and utter abandonment to the formula- in the form of his "clothes".

He transformed himself to look as far apart from Sonic as he possibly could- and in some ways more intimidating (and superior(?) )

but then there's the clothes. The cape, the fore-arm sleeves- the giant boot-looking spiked legs...

Every one of that design makes fighting and speed much more harder for Metal. Its a complete defiance of his original design, the original intent.

Having a cape could mean he get it stuck in his engine- or someone could pull it- hell he could just trip over it. Having such big sleeves and legs could make it hard to maneuver. it could get caught on things, on himself, it could make it his uhh.. "hitbox" bigger.

his freakin' quills are bigger and extended giving him even MORE places to hit.

aka hes not very aerodynamic (lol) and the look completely subverts everything that he was originally intended for. Speed.

He had other transformations into giant creatures before- but the key difference in Heroes is that he no longer even looks like himself anymore.

In all the other transformations it was like "oh metal turns into a giant more powerful metal sonic" but in this transformation it completely eradicates any recognizable traits.

Though I think his "transformation" started long before he became Metal overlord. Long before his Metal Madness- but at the very beginning.

He learned that what he was before was inefficient, so he became something more. He figured that who he was wasn't enough-literally taking parts of OTHER PEOPLE and copying them. Turning himself into something so unrecognizable, that he is described as a "monster" a literal amalgamation. He literally went mad. He abandoned all previous ideologies of speed or this constant back and forth of loosing and winning. He completely rewrote himself from the inside and out. All to defeat sonic.

yet, he still lost. and thats the tragedy of Metal Sonic. It's that he always looses.

LIke, that is it. that is his one reason for existing. To defeat Sonic. Yet he will never accomplish it. This game is just the extreme form of him giving it his all. Loosing everything that made him "Metal Sonic" just to do this ONE goal. its rutheless, its determination.

Its almost uniquely horrifying in a way. To be obsessed in such a way that it kills you.

since he's a robot.. it keeps killing him. again and again and again. And since he's based off of sonic- everytime he sees himself he's constantly reminded of that. Constantly comparing himself to sonic, constantly analysing sonic, constantly trying to be BETTER than sonic. Then every time he tries- upgrade after upgrade he fails and tries again- until he just goes insane.

A good analogy is school i think? See, If he was a school kid he'd be the one kid trying to get the A++ grade- but he has like 6 different mental and parental issues and ends up with a F- every fucking time. And no matter how hard he tries- no matter how much he studies, or works, or doesn't stays up all night trying, or doesn't enjoy his life, doesn't do anything other the fucking hustle to get the good old "im proud of you son" from the Eggman dad. Yet he NEVER will get it.

Then he has too look at golden child Sonic the hedgehog with the A+ grade (because again A++ isn't an actual grade but thats what Metal is trying to achieve) and he gets it so easily. And he hates him for it with all his might. Then you're telling me he has to look in the mirror and see the reflection of the guy he hates the most? the guy he can't win against? too look at yourself and only see the being you resent? To have the ending of your name be his name. it's "metal SONIC" not "sonic METAL"

Then, your parent- is constantly making you compare yourself to the goldenchild. Not only that but they're just as obsessed with you getting that A++ grade (a literal unachievable goal) and making the family look good. So everytime you fail you compare- and compare- and copy and comapre- and compare untill you loose whatever made you.. yourself.

of fucking COURSE he's going to have to cope with that by calling him the "real sonic. the true sonic" because if he isn't then WHAT IS HE? JUST A COPY? You spend your entire life trying to be better than someone- to the point where you fucking give up and try to BE them. because being BETTER is fucking impossible!!!!!! IF that person IS the highest goal that BECOME the highest the goal.

Then one day you just loose it ALL. you crack. you BREAK. You say "Fuck it!" You buy clothes, accesories, makeup and jewleries, and ANYTHING that seperates you from that goddamn golden kid. It doesn't matter if your dad is upset about it- because you don't care about what he thinks anymore. Prove to yourself that by the time your done copying everyone else's homework you'll finally get an A++. Then you can turn around- look better than him in any way. Cause then if you fail now- you'll have nothing to loose.

It is a rutheless transformation. Scrap the past, define the future and become the thing you hate. Loose your self and fear nothing. Cause theres nothing to loose.

Tell yourself that at your worst that you are better. Then laugh and cry at the same time.

then, at the end of it all. You've done everything you've could. You've copyed everyone in fucking classroom- then standing on the goddamn roof of school building the teacher gives you A FUCKING F. YOU ARE STANDING ON THE TOP OF A SCHOOL BUILDING (A ROBOT ABOVE A SEA?!?! HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT HAPPENS TO IPHONE IN WATER???) AND YOU GET A GODDAMN F AGAIN.

and then your dad didn't even look at you proudly. In fact he was clapping at the golden child for recieving another FUCKING A. Because THATS what put you in your place. THATS what brings you crawling back- then he just leaves you.

..

you loose your voice, and your looks. and then after that? you go back to looking just like him. and its a never ending cycle of torment.

So yeah. I think Metal sonic is pretty tragic character but idk y'know?

[waokevale]

Soo when you say wilson is of shadow origin and has always been weird, is there any sort of reason? Like was he born like that just because of Their natural influence that was happening even before the codex? Or was it more as in his power started as a child ( since thats when the whole codex thing happened) and he just got cursed by it? Or a mix of the two with the merge of the constant and the real world simply accelerating/ boosting the corruption he already had?

( also i'd love to know everyone power on a 1-10 scale like you did for charlie and maxwell 👉👈 )

Love your AU btw!

Well...Let's say he was always 'special', since his parents got involved with a very peculiar group before he was born, but the release of the constant's magic did in fact trigger those powers to expand. So you got that right.

And hmm, I guess I could give away a couple of those power comparisons, but I should also take in consideration their combat abilities, since one's isn't power isn't all that there is.

Wendy & Abigail – 3/10 (In combat it's usually Abigail in charge of the body since she's more skilled, while Wendy bullies the opponents shadow basically )

Webber - 4/10 (His Venom helps although he rarely uses it since he's scared of killing ppl)

Wurt (when she's in a body of water) 4/10, otherwise 3.5/10

Walter – 3/10 (if he knew about his abilities more, that would've been at least a 6.5)

Warly – 4.5/10 (3/10 otherwise) While his abilities don't help with combat, he focused on his agility and weapon throwing.

Wes – 4.5/10 He had to get better at combat, since Maxwell keeps sending him on missions, Max claims he could've easily been a 6/10 if he tried harder.

Winona – 5/10 her gadgets and combat ability make up for her power.

Wickerbottom – 5/10 (if she used her spells more often, would've been about a 7)

Maxwell – 5.5/10 (has more limitations set than Charlie)

Charlie – 6/10

Wigfrid – 6/10

Wolfgang – 6.5/10 (has at least 15 years of military training on him + his power certainly enhances those abilities)

Woodie – 6.5/10 since he's more in control of his various forms and their quirks

WX-78 – 6.5/10 when equipped with Winona's upgrades, without them, 4.5/10

Wortox – 6.5/10 (though he rarely engages in combat, his teleportation and life draining ability certainly helps. if he did, he would've probably been a 7 at least)

Willow – 7.5/10 though she's normally restrained into using only some of her abilities so 4.5/10

Wormwood – 7.5 4/10

Wilson – normally a 2/10 has little combat skill and is one of the newest hires. (In a monster form, which he can't control he's around 8/10)

Wanda – if she wasn't constantly supervised she would've easily been a 10/10, shes limited to being about a 6.5/10

It’s the team’s day off, and Engie’s started off strong with sleeping in until 9 AM, and plans to get some breakfast and go work on some sentry upgrades.

Some of his coworkers are still up early as ever, and one of them—their cocksure, rowdy runner—stops him to talk.

That “talking” consumes the rest of their morning.

bro i fucking LOVE that gregory dumped cassie thats so fucked up. thats a child making that brutal decision about his friend for the greater good. goddamn.

people are trying to be like "oh it was still Mimic" [that killed cassie in the elevator] - but like NO IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN. THAT WOULDNT MAKE ANY SENSE. the radio Mimic was using to trick cassie fell to the floor and broke before it starts chasing her!!

plus during that last chase scene the real gregory mentions he knows how to get her out + that a friend is helping him (the friend being freddy i'd assume? tho i also saw someone saying vanessa after shes no longer evil) which would be pointless details to bring up and not to mention.. mimic is chasing her. why would it.. make it harder to get her.. for itself

also!! its very in character for gregory to do that!! like he was more than willing to fuck up the other animatronics just to give freddy wholly unnecessary upgrades. kid does not fuck around! yeah its cold, yeah its painful to see happen. but i do think he'd do it.

[littlest-bugz]

Hope it's okay to send this for the ask game! We've really enjoyed reading all your answers :)

🥀 + 📻

No worries! You can def send them in (and Im glad u enjoyed reading our answers :D I just figured everything was abysmally buried)

🥀 - do you keep track of your alter count? how do you do so?

So!! We use 3 different things for managing alter info, and then one separately. 📓 is our archivist and he is!! Bonkers /j.

First he uses simply plural for the custom field feature, and the layout of the app. He has a shit ton of custom fields put in for anything you can reasonably think of for an alter. Then, he uses Pluralkit because we have a system discord. Theres a template he made that we r going to upload soon. THEN in the system discord has an even longer version of the template he made (that cant be used in pk bc of the length). On top of it all, we have a notion journal with all the same shit + personal journals. Why did he do that to himself? /j lh/ No, but those are the three ways we manage to keep track of alters. Not all of them are uploaded, and furthermore, not all of them are uploaded in all of the places. We try to keep our simply plural for the bulk of it.

Other apps we use as a system that dont keep track of alters, but we find helpful regardless:

- Mindly: A mind mapping app that is pretty user friendly/easy to use. Not a super high learning curve imo, but it can be confusing upon initial use. If u are any flavor of polyfragmented, it may be harder to keep track with the free feature. We have 3 separate mind maps for the 3 separated areas in our system.

- Calm Harm: We have a horrible self harm addiction 😃 this app tho? It helped a ton in our beginning days of stopping. We don’t SH as much anymore bc of coping™️ but its still helpful for alters who cant control the urge as well as the others.

- UpWord: Its a notes app that can be locked via a passcode. It also has a built in reminders feature. We use it for keeping track of body info, extra info, routines, and general alter stuff. Its become pretty obsolete for us because of the onslaught of programs 📓 uses, but it keeps track of stuff for us still. It has a $4 upgrade to change the colors, remove ads, and more. Id say only purchase it if you end up liking it and using it more than other apps. It’s worth it imo, but if ur broke like me and $4 is a lot, hold off until you use it.

- Selftalking: one of those back and forth, self chat apps. I find it easier to use than Antar (which i still don’t know how to use to this day), but you’ll probably have to make the convos as needed, as opposed to making them all and having alters search their name,,, but it does have a search function if needed. We found the search function helpful. It is, undoubtedly, super ugly from an app design standpoint, and its not entirely user friendly. The ads are incredibly annoying as well, but its a much worth it $1 purchase imo.

📻 - do you experience amnesia?

Yes, but most of it is drug related these days I think (as 🎸, the addiction holder). We’ve been working on functional multiplicity for a while so (day to day) memory sharing is getting easier, but we have a lot of what our therapist calls “cold switches” where theres usually hesitance or stubbornness or any negative emotion that leads to the switch being more disorienting and heightened amnesia. Its like,, idk hard to explain?? Most of the time theres about 9-10 of us front at any given point. Its actually really annoying to have so many of us front and then our amnesia STILL sucks. Like imagine you switch w/ the dude next to you in front and there being complete amnesia between the two until prev dude briefs him on whats been happening.

The way our front works, whoever fronts the frontest (lol) usually has less access to the innerworld, usually forgets what they were doing on the innerworld, they also usually forget what we were doing in a time range of,,, 30min - 3/4 hours, and thats if they are cofront. We’ve had alters who when cocon can remember all this shit but when they front they forget a bulk of it. It’s weird, but we’re working on it.

BUT YEAH! Feel free to send in more or ask non ask game questions!
