So is this like Reddit, or more like Facebook? Can I change my username? Kind of weird it didn’t ask me to set up a password. What if someone steals someone else’s earpieces? Would they be able to post with their account? What if I want to make a second account for… you know. Sideblog reasons?

Comments

I am terribly biased, but I am quite fond of them.

[ Being as he is from dragoboo country, and has a certain Bahamut-shaped affinity for them, no surprises. ]

This seems a peculiar manipulation to leverage against those who take interest in collecting.

[taxevasion]

Well yeah. They're dragons. Who doesn't like them?

Like I said: capitalism.

[oblige]

It seems some worlds have abominable dragons, alas.

And how do you feel about these games, such as they are?

[taxevasion]

And some worlds, like mine, have mosquitos, and they're way worse.

Oh, I love them. I buy all of them.

[oblige]

Are we speaking of the small, blood-leeching insects?

Despite knowing of the manipulation?

[taxevasion]

Yeah.

Totally. What, am I not going to play Pokemon?

[oblige]

I question the merit of the comparison.

Perhaps, if you have objections to their practices?

[taxevasion]

A dragon isn't going to give me malaria.

Not objecting that hard to it. It's not like it's like... drugs.

[oblige]

[ Malaria? What kind of debuff is that? ]

Yet in some worlds it seems dragons will decimate populations in short order simply because they can. 'Tis difficult to fathom, yet I do not doubt such accounts.

I should hope a game would be distinct from drugs.

[taxevasion]

Uh, yeah, so can mosquitos.

Well... gacha games.

[oblige]

In a matter of hours?

I know not what gacha is.

[taxevasion]

Fine like, MAYBE a few days.

Gambling? But worse?

[oblige]

Perhaps we should count it fortunate that none have spoken of dragon-mosquitoes.

How do they worsen gambling?

[taxevasion]

No. But that's a great idea for Dungeons and Dragons.

Imagine gambling and even when you win, you don't get any money.

[oblige]

Is that another game?

That sounds peculiar. What do you stand to gain then?

[taxevasion]

A group game, yeah. I used to run a campaign for a while.

A picture of a girl, usually. But it's just a digital picture, so if you ever don't have your phone with you, you don't even have the picture.

[oblige]

When you say campaign, does that mean it is a war game?

I have difficulty imagining such a wasteful venture succeeds.

[taxevasion]

Kinda? Oh right, to you, I guess it's like. Imaginary strategy.

People spend billions on this, collectively. Crazy, right? But it's technically legal for now, so.

[oblige]

And your people engage in this for fun?

[ He's trying to understand. ]

It does sound quite mad. To think so many would be enticed by mere images.

[taxevasion]

You're probably noticing a pattern that a lot of humans pretend to do things for fun.

So what about you? What do you do for fun?

[oblige]

I simply did not think war would be one of them.

The life I led left little time for leisure. But I enjoyed reading when I could, or working with dragons.

[taxevasion]

Dude that's like THE most popular one. War or sex. D&D lets you do both.

Wow, okay. More with dragons. Really dragon-focused. Were the books on dragons too?

[oblige]

You have sex as part of a game?

Dragons are important in my country, and I've some affinity for them. There are books regarding dragons, taxonomy and the like, but I favor fiction novels.

[taxevasion]

Well, I don't. But some people do.

What's a fiction novel to you? You already have fantasy as your day-to-day. You don't have sci-fi. Woah, wait, do you have books about a world without magic and everyone has a white-collar job, and so your fantasy books are about like, middle management?

[oblige]

How curious.

Middle management? Authors write on a variety of subjects, but I know not what this means.
