Every video that I ever saw with a like:dislike ratio like the one in frame 2 was being brigaded for reasons unrelated to video quality.

A few years ago I went on a date with someone I met on an app, and she mentioned that she really liked Jordan Peterson and thought he had a lot of good ideas. I got kind of mentally stunlocked because from what I know of him, she seemed like the kind of person he would hate. It turned out she had read his book, and I couldn’t talk intelligently about it because I obviously haven’t read it… She asked me why I seemed to dislike him and all I could say was “he seems like an ass on social media” and she said she didn’t follow any of his internet stuff.

The date did not get better from there. ^^;;

I wish I could recommend the character creator for Phantasy Star Online 2, because in theory it’s great, with the ability to mix and match clothing layers, recolor clothing, fine tune your body proportions, select from various customizable faces, etc. Most importantly, you can attach accessories to your character however you like and adjust their scaling and rotation in ways that let you repurpose them. For example, for a while I was using a head ornament, scaled down, rotated, and clipped into my face, as a pair of fangs, and it looked pretty convincing!

I can’t actually recommend it though because the process of actually collecting outfits and accessories is FOMO gacha hell. (Gacha items purchased with “AC,” the real-money only currency, can also be bought secondhand from other players, but you’ll pay an arm and a leg for them, and you can’t trade items bought with “SG” which is the premium currency that can also be earned in game.)

I guess it’s not exactly the same, because it sort of is related, but I always get tripped up on “ancillary” because it is a totally inoffensive English word… except that the Latin word ancilla means “slave girl.”
