Ah yes, one of the neat advantages of being ace, easily being able to ignore people claiming to know you’ve watched anything sexual. Either because you never have, or because it’d have to be incredibly specific to ever be right, depending on how being Asexual affects you.

Oh no, furries, the most apology worthy state of existence- Wait a minute…

I’ve been seeing it in several places, as comments and replies, unrelated to whatever it’s about, and always from users from discuss.online. Perhaps someone trying to use bots that the instance hasn’t removed yet.

Think of it like this: Arrowhead, the developers, spent almost 8 years developing the game, getting funding throughout from Sony, which managed the publishing side of things so they could focus on game development.

Then, around 6 months before release, over 7 years of development up to that point, Sony wanted PSN to be required for the game, and clearly by release time, that was not enough time to even implement or test that well enough.

Their hands were tied years in advance, they couldn’t just let almost 8 years of their development time go to waste over one decision by their publisher, nor could they reasonably go against the publisher or get a new publisher only about 6 months before release.

On their end, they didn’t do anything particularly wrong, unless they could see the future over 7 years before and realize Sony was going to practically pull the rug out from under them with everything in Sony’s favor, a decision only actually made far more recently.

What’s odd is I instantly recognized how to type on that type of phone, but I’m from roughly gen Z.

There’s also black-grey-white-purple, or in direct terms, the Asexual flag, the one you mentioned being for Aromantic. There’s also a specific flag for both combined, or “Aroace”, because you can be one, the other, or both at the same time.

Rings at a very basic level tend to be moons that could be, or could have been, if they were higher in orbit such that gravity wouldn’t tear the moon apart. They can also be from moons or even planets colliding, the debris in the aftermath forming the rings, which if not too low in orbit, could reform into a moon as well, which seems likely to be how our own moon formed.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up how it should be, and it would be great if more people understood that point. That you don’t have to like or enjoy what someone else does, yet you can still have acceptance for them enjoying what safely makes them happier, rather than rejecting things for being different than what’s perceived as “normal”.

Besides the unlimited use ferrystone, which doesn’t work in bitterblack isle, that was added to the first game later, the fast traveling works pretty much the exact same.

If anything, there’s more fast travel options in Dragon’s Dogma 2 thanks to the ox carts which let you skip time until you arrive, or get ambushed, which lets you continue once you clear the ambush. And that’s just from well under a few hours of my time in game.

Also in the significantly less than 24 hours I’ve had, rift crystals, the currency they’re selling for “convenience”, are quite easy to get, and you absolutely never need to spend them on pawns, just drop the max pawn level to your own level or under and they’re free to use.

I’ve already gotten enough to do a full appearance change, another thing they’re selling for “convenience”, without specifically trying to get them, just having fun playing the game, exploring, and completing quests.

And the tents? They aren’t consumable unless maybe they get broken from ambushes, which I have yet to have occur after over 5 uses of the cheapest tent, likely because I clear the area around me first. All that’s affected is weight, which becomes less of a problem the more you play regardless.

Wakestones? If you’re dying, you’re not prepared or ready enough, come back later, it’s really that simple. I’ve already gotten a wakestone shard randomly, which you combine a few to get a full wakestone, which seems way faster than the first game given the much larger scale of this one. Not to mention that the ones you can buy as DLC are limited in that you can only buy 5 total, ever, but likely you can get endless amounts later in the game.

The rift incense? The one offered is the actual worst one available, it’s random, as opposed to the pre-set ones you can get in game.

Even the rift crystals you can only buy a limited amount for “convenience” when you can get unlimited just for playing the game.

I’m sorry if I went off topic and on an extended reply, just a bit frustrated that I’ve been seeing tons of people spreading outright wrong and incorrect information about basic parts of the game. I’ve played both games now and gladly will clear up a ton of stuff like that. It’s one thing to criticize the microtransactions themselves accurately for what they are, and another thing entirely to lie out of ignorance just to have more to complain about.

Hi, here’s your pretty much useless furry check.

Double meaning entirely intentional, because funny.

Ah yes, gotta love seeing Captain Vor invading other realities just to monologue another time before the cutting in half cycle continues as it always has and always will.

I’m honestly surprised I’ve not seen anyone make that connection for a joke, thanks dyslexia, it’s pretty funny.

Totally not completely cursed, and those example sentences absolutely didn’t make me regret being literate.

Memes, the DNA of the soul.

“Furry” you say? Wait, do I need to have a drum set to make that joke better? Because it doesn’t quite land right, unlike that cat.

Or just your own tail, like a fluffy pillow, but anywhere.

Yep, that actual chance at learning something instead of being blindly insulted anyway is such a refreshing change.

And especially never admit you’re totally not running Windows on a Protogen because you couldn’t be bothered to modify it.

As an Asexual, can confirm, they’re just making a joke with a text based stutter, not referring to Asexual or Agender, such as in “LGBTQIA+” that generally refers to multiple things under the “A”.

In the latter case, it’s left open ended for inclusivity, rather than arbitrarily excluding other things by specifying.

As for how the original comment could possibly be more inclusive, it’s harder to say exactly, but I can think of something like “Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone else”, but I’m not exactly great at fancy words… or words in general… but I try my best.

Yeah, I agree with that similarity to Warframe’s level of developer interaction.

Sure, in the past they’ve been slower to respond to feedback about problems, and often times old things have fallen out of relevance because something else just outright does the same thing, and more, but better.

But as it is now, DE really seems to be prioritizing listening to feedback, almost exponentially so, and as an example, bringing things up to par with what they should be at the current level of the game, a concept that much more rarely got the implementation it deserved in years before.

The term “boy’s club” here is really not generalizing “men” or “boys” as a whole, but rather it’s by its usage criticizing the specific group mentality it describes, that of a group of “boys” who treat women with less respect than each other, or otherwise exclude said women, as in at least some cultures is common from some generally younger “boys” who haven’t really matured past a mentality usually developed from a young age, because they lack the experience to know it’s wrong.
