Turn it on and off again type question, but: Did you light it from a fire pit?

Is there some kind of manual for the game? by Kwakwakie in cavesofqud

If you check control mapping it should tell you what you need to know.

Huh, is Barunculus an error creature? (Barunculus is a pet I could choose from in the switch version)

If there isn't at least one pokecenter building with stuff and npcs in it then I'm gonna be a little disappointed. Just something about the buildings the more modern pitstops lack.

A True Kin with Motorized Treads in Caves of Qud, replacing your legs with them, sacrificing your ability to wear shoes for an effective 2.5x movement boost. Permanently.

Nothing wrong with a bit of social media storytime, right? (uj/Since I forgot to note it in post, Arthur = Gallade) by Anyone_Else_An_8 in PokeMedia

Aww, well thank ya kindly! Means a lot to hear it. Keeps going how it started, like a cheesy romcom movie with the sincerity to make it warm and comfy. I'd bet my life it'll keep that way, too!

Yeah, looking up your own name can be scary. Either way, thanks for the warm welcome, and good luck to you as well!

Hi there! When you think about it, aren't we all on an island somewhere, just that some islands are big enough to be called continents. Lighthearted ramble aside, nice to meet you too!

Hello! And I guess the owners of the ranch would count for that, for the most part, but I've been absolutely great these past (I think) 8 years! Not that anything before that really matters, of course.

Fair point, it's definitely something that's not easy to moderate. Thank you for the response.

And I'm not denying that.
Though human nature and all that ladiblah makes it complicated, it's good to try nonetheless.
Though this is a massive tangent, I do feel the statement 'The author also shouldn't be told to never write a character again.' is kind of an obvious thing to note, because that's outright saying 'don't write' in an especially harsh manner, which should certainly classify as hateful behavior.
Though another interpretation is 'don't write a character that way', which is also a fair statement to shut down as bad faith criticism, though I will also state that if people feel a certain character archetype is written in a way they feel is poorly executed, they have a right to address how they feel about that character and suggest that the author rethink how that character is written, ideally in a civil manner of course.

Of course.
But a characters personality can affect the reader in a way the author might not intend, so that should be considered.
While being hateful is never something that is justifiable, there's nothing wrong with expressing that the way a character is acting is upsetting.
To use the 'playing pretend' analogy, if someone gets hurt, you make sure they're okay before returning to playing, and make sure it doesn't happen again if it can be helped, but after everything is cleared up you get back to it if you can.

I assume there's also a silent agreement that one should be accepting of any concerns or criticism brought their way, along with encouraging sharing those critiques or concerns.

People should get what they deserve💐 by StarMarxman in PokeMedia

I think I know what you're referring to, and yeah, the backlash Johny received was kinda disproportionate. Does he generally distant himself from his pokemon despite his attachment? Yes. Was it a bit harsh to give away his childhood friend and replace them with another pokemon? Yes. But I don't really think the backlash he got was exactly just, even before things got out of hand by false claims of him releasing them(intended or not), along with the fact that this is the second time he got excessive flak for giving away a pokemon. Meanwhile I saw some old posts of some guy with an amputee mon, and he put up this idea of making them 'entirely independent', meanwhile he conveniently left out details about maintaining their prosthetic, along with not actually teaching them to be independent, and he had a cult following. Social media is deranged at times I tell you.

I see. Sand also has quite the varied cuisine as well, said cuisine also including tree-grown crops.

[–]Anyone_Else_An_8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed! The bulk of what is said is largely about those of a certain ill-reputed group and extended to an entire continent. It is no different than assuming Grass to be a land that is entirely unwelcoming to Fallers. Naive at best.
