God's Disdain design philosophy 

A lot of people may not be used to a game like this where there are no waypoints and no linear progression. It is great to have that freedom of adventure but it can get a little confusing in periods where you aren't sure what to do. The best thing to try is to just interact with everything you find! This is the way I've designed the game, for better or for worse depending on what kind of player you are. I wanted to focus a lot more on that feeling of exploration than being led on a linear path with a grand story. I often say that this game is "Dragon Quest meets Elder Scrolls" as an elevator pitch, and the latter's influence on the game is where the elements of exploration come in (leaning towards the Daggerfall/Morrowind style). Almost every single NPC has a name and a schedule and, if they don't have anything to give you in terms of quest lines, they do each have their own little stories that can be learned even if from only a few lines of dialogue.

I can totally understand if people don't like this kind of gameplay, I know a lot of people prefer their RPGs to be more linear experiences with the story and then have side quests along the path basically. It's just not really what I was going for. I will say, though, that I will definitely be doing that for my next RPG because what I've done here was way too large of an undertaking lol.

🧵EXCLUSIVE: The Los Angeles Department of Health (@lapublichealth), alongside Los Angeles Children’s Hospital (@ChildrensLA), has published a graphic sex guide called “The Playbook” using taxpayer dollars.

This guide is specifically targeted at "LGBTQ youth" who “identify along the masculine spectrum,” promoting activities that are not only inappropriate but also illegal for minors.

⚠️ WARNING: This is extremely graphic. (1/8)

@crunklord420 I just watched a little YouTube documentary about a gamer guy named ullillillia or something who has really bad OCD and I found it very commendable that he didn't try to whine about it and force the world to cater to him. That's the part that pushes people away from being sympathetic.

@crunklord420 why do these people have such a big problem with being labeled as having a mental illness/disorder? I thought we were supposed to be accepting of those.

Senseless violence.

It's so weird to see a YouTuber being ok with making Epstein Island jokes, but racist jokes are too far?

So child trafficking can be funny, but slavery or skin color is too far??

@tomie I played dbd one time and felt like I got everything out of it that I could

Huh, I didn't die a single time playing FF16. I never even had to use the item that revives you. Got close once or twice but that's about it. I think there was only one fight against a dragon where I ran out of potions. Game needed to be a little bit harder for the action mode probably.

@waifu thanks :D it'll be free too so I'm hoping a lot of people will give it a shot :)
