cashew | Mildly upset

First, thanks to COVID, I missed out on my Whispers pull in Another Eden (missed a guaranteed 5-star unit). Oh well, it's not like I play that much with these units anyway, so...whatever. I still haven't finished leveling my newest 5-star Tales characters, so I gotta go do that first.

Second, Windows 11 update includes some horrible "copilot" AI module that is the worst and I don't want it and I'd like to see it go away please. Ugh.

Third, am diving deeper and deeper into the DnD mechanics as I feel better and start planning a very trite story idea involving nerds playing DnD and breaking the tension of their campaign for comedic effect. Will be bland, shitty tripe, I already know this, but the idea amuses me, so I'm sitting here making fake character sheets for fictional characters role-playing even more fictional characters. Because thinking about this is more fun than the GENOCIDE that's happening in Gaza.

Anyway, because of looking up DnD mechanics and stuff, I've become intrigued by the Plasmoid player race and feel like it's definitely ripe for a lot of fun (you get to play as a SLIME!), but I suspect people will be really fucking boring about building the character and it will be more about the "cool" and "awesome" (aka I-want-to-be-Tempest) and less about the "fun". For all that tabletop gamers claim they play pen-and-paper RPGs for the versatility and being able to build a character of whatever background they want, what they actually generate at the table is often bland, overdone fantasy tropes with zero creativity. If I want to see yet another Elf Rogue, I'll play one of the millions of phone games that will always include an elf rogue somewhere in their catalogue.

I guess what I'm saying is: Where are my cat people?! For fuck's sake, there are two cat races, pick one!
