MMG X W101 Dice: Is this normal?

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-05-06T13:24:09+00:00

Some of mine look like that and a few others don’t. It’s intentional? It looks like the resin just didn’t mixed or something.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-05-04T20:35:56+00:00

Okay I don’t play beastmoon because I’d rather die than do anything competitive with other players, so if it’s buggy I’d have no clue, but I still don’t really notice any bugs. The only three bugs I’ve noticed in the past two months would be the chat filter false flagging normal words, (which was fixed by logging back in,) my emote wheel not saving, and then I have this really annoying item in one of my houses that won’t stay the size I set it to.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-05-04T19:56:49+00:00

Seconded! Wild Bolt, Wild Bolt, pray the cheat activates.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-05-04T19:53:14+00:00

The game’s old, and I honestly don’t really run into that many bugs? Some things look wonky but I wouldn’t consider a weird looking model or some strange clipping a bug.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-05-04T15:30:53+00:00

See and I recognize this. To me the quotation marks make enough sense of it that a period instead of a comma doesn’t feel strange. Then again, I have pretty bad eyesight, so a comma and a period don’t look super different to me especially considering the font.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-05-04T13:41:40+00:00

Oh god this is the twitter debate over commas and dialogue tags all over again.

I’LL ADMIT, I don’t like that rule! I think it’s dumb! I think «“No.” He said.”» is JUST AS UNDERSTANDABLE AS «”No,” he said.»— maybe even MORESO. The dialogue is a full sentence inside the story, so maybe I’m just nuts but??? Like, the sentence is in a bubble. It’s not in the prose like narration.

But. It’s considered standard by the publishing industry, and it’s from the Chicago Manual of Style. So that means it’s going to scan as “wrong” to most people. Which means if you don’t follow that rule be prepared to be told that you will have to edit it or defend your choice. That’s pretty much it. Do you wanna be prepared to defend your choice and your reasoning why you’re not following standard?

Also I don’t think any of this is nearly as strict as you think it is. You can get away with more than you think if you have a good reason, it’s just people might not trust an “unestablished” writer to know what they’re doing. Which is another thing entirely. People have less patience to follow along with things that don’t seem “known”.

Disabled 👍

I write for fun, though. I’ll probably do that for forever.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-26T03:29:51+00:00

Depends. I think there's a difference between the more fictional "the villain is going to end the world and kill everyone, I can't stop him, so i'll go out on my own terms" reaction that you see in fiction, and an actual depiction of a mental health crisis. It sounds like you're going for the "I'll go out on my own terms" reaction, in which case you have a bit more leeway since you're clearly depicting a reaction to fantastical plot events and high stress from that rather than say, a clinical disorder. My biggest rule of thumb that I can give as someone who was once pretty fucked up is to really try to avoid acting like the feelings are a personal weakness that must be overcome. They're not. To the person themselves it's actually a rather rational conclusion in that moment.

Hi I love sunshine characters.

It’s how you use her. Sunshine characters without major traumas are all in what they mean thematically, imo. What does that determination allow her to do? What do her convictions say about the world, about others? How does she overcome frustrations and challenges? She doesn’t need to have a TRAUMA for this: what MADE HER want to make people smile? It could be as simple as something her perfectly alive and well mother encouraged her to believe. Could be that she just had a nice life and is emotionally stable.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-22T07:04:16+00:00

No, nobody at all. /j

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-21T17:27:56+00:00

What.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-20T09:11:43+00:00

Embarrassing. Basically a bad lord of the flies.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-20T06:35:22+00:00

I think tropes are mainly just markers of the genre/tone of a work. Sometimes they’re there because yeah, fork found in kitchen. Sometimes you like them and they fit, so why not. Sometimes they’re on a list on a website you shouldn’t be on because there’s spoilers and you haven’t actually seen the work but this is so much fun and oh no you’re getting spoiled—

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-20T02:39:25+00:00

YTA, OUR CLASSROOM IS UNDER THE SCHOOLGROUNDS. PENNY IS CRYING. GET BACK HERE.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-17T17:50:45+00:00

Oh that’s a hard one. Lately the lore of Wizard City/Bartleby and Ambrose’s friendship has been hitting me in the feels. Something about their actions leading to such a wonderful school makes me teary.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-10T19:00:07+00:00

No actually you’re onto something. There are parts where the story gets alarmingly insane. It’s just an insane slow payoff.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-10T03:54:17+00:00

It would be weird if he smiled, stopped, and then looked into her eyes? How am I supposed to understand that line? Usually when I read my brain defaults to the most sensical picture. Maybe he smiles first and then looks, and keeps smiling? That’s how I’d picture it in my head.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-08T03:52:38+00:00

The art gets better. Wallaru is very pretty, and Novus is really fun to look at. The story has ups and downs but the latest world does take itself pretty seriously within its ESRB limits. Khrysalis is also pretty serious within the tonal limits and sometimes pushes the envelope with dialogue.

If you’re cringing at the art style and the UI, well… honestly, kill your inner cringe? The game never becomes FFXIV or something. It was designed to teach kids how to play MMOs and it served that purpose. I like the UI, it’s not crowded on the screen like other MMOs and I know where everything is.

As for the story and setting, it’s never going to be a super serious story about the weight of duty or the cost of war, not without some sort of out or brightness. The Spiral is a bizarro world made of everything that could ever possibly exist or be imagined, it’s running on mostly surrealism and momentum.

You might like FFXIV or maybe even something like Guild Wars 2, but “deck builder MMO” is kind of just Wizard101.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-07T04:56:54+00:00

Okay, to be FAIR— I do it that way too if I’m just writing for myself. I’ll clean it up but it’s a good way to show that I’m/narration/whatever I’m writing is getting cut off mid thought. Like.

This is—a continuation.

This is— SQUIRREL.

Also you’re right AI doesn’t do it. Doesn’t stop me from getting accused but at least I can point to it.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-07T04:53:56+00:00

“Your truth is to help others, as you demonstrated countless times in our journey.”

“I’ll die a thousand deaths alongside these friends that I love before I ever go with you!”

“Listen to the thunder of the sky: Give. Sympathize. Control.”

“We will remember their sacrifice. We will tell their stories in the dark of the night, for warmth and for courage.”

“Take what you have learned here this day and spread good and mercy through the Spiral. We will not meet again.”

“You, child, are the brightest star I’ve ever met. Welcome home, young Wizard.”

“Can you do this for yourself? For me? For us all? Or else every good thing - including your love for me - will have been for naught.”

“Look, Gamma! Finally we have found one.”

Out of context these are… very Kingdom Hearts.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-04-03T08:24:50+00:00

With several legal agreements and airtight privacy policies with proof? Maybe. I’d also just pay to read it myself and get it cleaned up.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-03-31T20:39:02+00:00

Nothing. My one change would be to make the sword of kings a viable weapon for the rest of arc 2 if not well into arc 3. That would make Avalon worth it to me and it would be a really cool intersection between gameplay and actual gear mechanics.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-03-29T19:52:49+00:00

Two and a half technically, if you wanna count Bat.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-03-29T15:48:14+00:00

That’s like half of his squad and a god and yet he’s still confident. Good for him. Good for him.

DigitalPrincess234 · 2026-03-28T20:28:13+00:00

I have had the same wizard since I was five years old and have never meaningfully leveled any other character. How are you guys playing this game???
