I officially haven't used c.ai in over a week, since all the ps2 drama started. I used nearly daily since 2022, but especially recently, I've wanted out.

Unfortunately, addiction and habits are extremely hard to break. This drama is what it took to get out finally, and thanks to ao3, writing my own fics, and drawing, I've more than filled the hole on my wants that c.ai was filling.

The cool thing is, if you can roleplay with the bots here, you can write your own stories independently too. I don't expect everyone to suddenly follow suit, but I do hope others can find healthier options for themselves as well, and maybe this can be a push in the right direction.

That's all :) I just feel super good about being free, especially by my own volition.

The biggest concern I have is regarding just how much he's getting this patch. Segment interaction, a bit more backstory, a 4 minute long cutscene?? It seems like a lot is being given that would've been good to use in a release patch. But, also I understand a lot is being presented through his boss drops? I think?

Last night I was devastated, but I'm starting to feel better. A lot of the hopeful points people bring up keep getting squandered, but it just feels too weird for me. It feels wrong. And I'm not gonna give up until hoyo or Mick Wingert tells us it's factually over. I've saved so many wishes for him and been very selective with pulls since the end of Sumeru.

There's the ID leaks of early Shneznaya, there's the future character line up for 7.3ish, there's next February. There's little tid bits of story that still give me hope, and yeah, they're really little, but they're something.

I've waited this long, and I'm not done waiting. Penelope did it for 20 years, I can do it too, I won't give up hope that he'll come home.

Regardless, I don't blame you if you don't have it in you to keep hoping, this sucks.

But, if all else fails, at least we're gonns get a full patch of Dottore here and now, even if it ends in tragedy.

Hello! I've got a lore/logistics question regarding the Scaramouche deletion in Irminsul.

If a painting were made of his likeness while he was an active harbinger, what would happen to it after he was erased from Irminsul? Would the painting never have existed? Become unclear? Just seem like a random guy? How would that work for the person making the painting?

Thank you for any answers you all can offer :)
