+1000 a fucked up aspect ratio is such a major turnoff

realtalk i honestly don't know how anyone sits down, creates an icon where their character's face is stretched comically wide across and artifacted to hell by it, and think "ah yes this looks fine, onto the journal it goes"

i've also literally never had a fun thread with tags from journals with this even after trying to give them chances a time or two in the past

lots of games are doing this, and i hate it

i'm not going to point at any specific game because i think most games in the past two years or so have shifted to five big prompts with three or four little prompts within the big prompt, so.... between 15 and 20 options? that's ridiculous

just give me three events and let me decide what i want to do at each

extra thumbs down for the games that offer 'helpful hints' for players who have writers block and don't know what to do by adding in a seperate block of additional options. i know they're trying to be helpful, but it's excessively pandering.

seriously, if you can't look at an overall event at a dinner party and decide on ANYTHING for your character do to, maybe this a creative hobby isn't for you

To play devil’s advocate it’s probably because players are so fast to whine that there’s nothing to do.

That said, when I go cross eyed at rows of links, blurbs, emojis, etc it’s gone too far

i’m sure that’s what it is too, and i repeat: if you can’t find something to do at an event, kick rocks.

i doubt mods really like the pressure of having to write 20 prompts in order to cater to players who still will find something wrong with their tdm or monthly event, so i’m definitely not blaming them

it's a red flag for a reason. people didn't just decide to hate-

ok nevermind they did. but it's still a red flag

former mod here who used to do that, and that was part of the reason. and yet i burned out after so long because i would write a plethora of options and there would still be those few people who whine that there's "nothing for their characters to do"

i would love more brevity in prompts but i feel like players these days rely on mods too much as a crutch

i don't mind if someone's icons are AI generated

given that it takes icon artists six months just to show a half-finished draft sketch and they still have the nerve to charge $60 for the privilege, i don't blame people for wanting to spend five minutes making something just as good for free

I just don’t see when AI icons would be necessary. For OCs? Can’t you find an IRL faceclaim or use art from comics/fanart?

Yeah and they’re all the same squad

It’s best to avoid the lot of them. Good luck to this game with these potentials lol.
