@jsstaedtler ah! that's good to know! I'm nearing the end of Chapter 3 I think and there's not a TON of side quests yet, but love the hero quests! And I'm starting to think about my builds as I explore. So so good!

@jsstaedtler What’s funny to me is, it’s not hard to figure out what’s going on, why their lives are the way they are, but then the game reveals it AT THE HALFWAY POINT - meaning, there’s a whole lotta game left to fuck with my expectations ha!!! Oh Ren, you thought you were clever? My friend, we just getting started!

@JonathanMBR yeah, taking a globe and flattening it is hard, then add in that “global north” perspective and it gets all messy. Love the alternatives!

The most honest & realistic part of Xenoblade Chronicles X is - Earth has blown up, there are a handful of humans left trying to survive on a dangerous planet, and we…… KEPT CAPITALISM! Characters have to buy equipment & items ha! Amazing. #gaming #jrpg #xenobladechronicles #videogames

@jsstaedtler it's all good, I just found it hilarious and sad at the same time and had to share.

@_elena Respectfully, but why are we shaming users over alt text when tools exist to create alt text? It's akin to shaming consumers to recycle while Coca cola cranks out plastic.Alt text can be super challenging for folks, especially text-heavy & visually complex or abstract images.I'm vehemently against AI Slop machines, but AI accessibility tools exist and could & should be baked into the Fediverse.It'll be far more effective than alt text policing & shaming.

@_elena I agree you, specifically, aren't alt text shaming, but it is rife on the platformMy issue is that we keep expecting users to fix the issue when there are already tools to help. I don't think pop ups or discouraging information sharing boosts because a user didn't include alt text is a viable solution.We have the capabilities to automatically generate alt text, let's use them @Gargron <3
