@zaradragon this is a good gender, i approve
-F

@socks cats are good
-F

nonbinary as in

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz i don't know if this is why, but we've heard from a deaf friend that they feel slightly less comfortable in text because english isn't their native language, ASL is, and there's no (widely adopted) written form of ASL
-F

@hi_cial (sorry FFIX is one of our favorite games, kinda got into a mini-infodump mode there)
-F

@hi_cial apparently it's some kind of hollow-world scenario following the failed planetary fusion thousands of years prior to the game's events; I found this explanatory image on the FF wiki (though we can't read the text on it due to not speaking japanese):

@hi_cial Terra is like.... a planetary parasite that is currently embedded deep inside Gaia; its original moon, the red moon, is now orbiting Gaia along with Gaia's original blue moon
-F

@hi_cial yeah i know about 7, haven't played 8, and 9... i don't remember going to the moon? just going to Terra, which is not the moon though it's Related To the moon somehow
-F

@hi_cial did any of them other than 4 have that? i don't remember any others but maybe we're just forgetting one
-F

@Zest i don't really know how to help but maybe at least knowing that we want to be able to help will help? words are hard but you are good
-F

mm. sleepy and warm and comfy

don't want to have to do things tomorrow
-F

@hi_cial mm, fair enough

we're kinda... iffy about things like that (particularly because we've not really played much of the game at all yet, let alone the bits that came out recently) but i guess most people wouldn't consider it spoilers
-F

@kat we tried to once but didn't get too far into it

maybe we will again sometime
-F

@hi_cial this sounds like spoilers--might want to CW that
-F

@ziphi that sidechain compression thing is one of the things we dislike because it's just viscerally uncomfortable for us to listen to

the other thing is music with singing
-F

@ziphi yeah it's hard to put words to it for us too

we value familiarity, which is why most of what we listen to is video game music from games we enjoyed, but the stuff that makes us interested in the music in the first place is hard to pin down
-F

We can certainly list things that we *don't* like in music, though.
-R

@kat @Kaffe@chitter.xyz you can also definitely add tactics advance and a2 to that list too, and probably other spinoffs too but we haven't played any other than those
-F

@kat @Kaffe@chitter.xyz so basically all of them with non-generic protagonists, except 2
-F

@ziphi certainly something that can be done very wrong! but also that can be done very right.
-F

@ziphi We just like weird (usually implying dissonant, but sometimes surprise octave jumps) note choices keeping us guessing, sometimes
