Hehe, well, there may be a 100% objective real reality, but can anyone really say exactly what it is? Doesn't mean you should necessarily doubt everything you experience, but it does mean that you shouldn't necessarily trust everything either. Like I said before, I tend to think of existence as being made up of both sooth and dwimmer, the real and the unreal. But you would be surprised how little of the sooth we can really see and know. Maybe none at all! Meanwhile dwimmer is everywhere. It is the illusion that people wrap themselves in, the world their minds create for them. Perhaps we cannot change the sooth, but we can change the dwimmer. And who can say how much of what we think we know really sooth and how much is really dwimmer?

The way I figure it, the truth of things like this is not clear cut. You can hope or you can fear, it's just a matter of what world you want to exist in so to speak. I choose to exist in a world where things aren't so bad, because I don't see the point of in living in fear. If it's a delusion, reality can go fuck it's self.

Eh, I think all this talk of nuclear war is overblown, and honestly probobly always was. People are scared shitless about nuclear weapons, and maybe with good reason, but I have my doubts about the likelihood of a full-blown nuclear war that blasts everything into a nuclear wasteland. Yeah, heads of state will wag their pointy missile dicks at each other, but I think it will not go much beyond that.

Where do your skills tell the truth then? Hehe... Sorry I wasn't much help!

Hmmm... I have a script I made to let weapons change what skill is used to attack with, but that probobly isn't the best solution as it doesn't work with dual wielding or weapon skills.

Can't you do that without a script? MP Drain is an option for a skill's damage type...

You are welcome! *sprinkles fairy dust on you*

I got it! And here is the needed trait namer script:

Better late then never! *sprinkles fairy dust on joori and giggles*

Hmmm, I haven't been working on RPG Maker stuff much lately myself, mostly because I have been obsessively reading a bunch of the web fiction on this site. Though given that a lot of the stories are about someone being summoned or reincarnated into a fantasy world (often as a cute girl), it's rather interesting to compare it to some of the ideas I have for my RPG Maker project given that that's more or less what it's about too. It's a pretty normal kind of framework for a particular style of story.

Well you can always eat at another restaurant rather then buy a gas mask too. Which is a big reason restaurants don't do that besides it being as illegal as hell. Anyway yeah, it was sort of a extreme example that really doesn't fit. How about this example instead: Ever notice restaurants charge a ton for drinks even if the food is cheap? Isn't that exploitative? Luring you in with cheap food and charging tons for drinks is a bit shady in the same way luring you in with cheep or free resources but charging for commercial use is. No they aren't technically hiding anything, but it's still misdirection. And the other argument? That's exactly what I called petty before. Your basically saying that because someone else was able to profit form something and you were not that you deserve something. And you know what? Maybe you do. But isn't that the very definition of, and I hate using this word, 'entitlement'? You call it a fair middle ground, I call it trying to have your cake and eat it too. And yeah, why wouldn't you try and have a cake and eat it too? That saying makes no goddamned sense. I understand why people do it. Plus, to be fair, I am not a big fan of commercial projects either. I also find them a tad shady and exploitative. But then I am a weirdo like that. I myself have created more then a few scripts and I always make sure to not ever attach any type of terms and conditions to them, because I personally believe it would be hypocritical for me to do so. And fact is, if everyone did that there would still be quality resources around made by people who don't care what others do with them, so I don't think those terms and conditions are the least bit necessary to deal with. If someone makes a profit from it, that's fine. That is a personal belief of course, I don't expect others to agree. Plus I think of myself as more a hobbyist anyway. To me it isn't about the money. Others don't have that luxury I know. And I may change my mind some day, if something I do gets really popular or something. But if I do, it will be because I am a selfish greedy person who isn't afraid to admit when I am being selfish and greedy. After all, that's half the reason I use free resources in the first place. Eh, I get your point, but at the same time you are almost making the argument that following the rules is only important for the people who get caught. Let's not go down that route anymore okay? The powers that be might get uncomfortable. Besides, I much rather work within the system to undermine it then ignore it. :3
