#pointlessly

I honestly can't tell if I hate this line, or if it's just pure envy that some bastard has the confidence to say, "why don't we just have him announce - to himself - that he's in danger" and called it a day.

Remember when CQL!Lan Wangji told Wei Wuxian that it was worth trying to explain what happened with the second flautist because Jiang Cheng is his brother and it's worth trying? I genuinely love him so much because it's not that he doesn't hate Jiang Cheng it's that he knows Wei Wuxian loves Jiang Cheng and in light of that he wants for Jiang Cheng to understand and forgive him. He is a masterclass in supporting your partner at terrible family reunions until the time comes to grab them and go. Remember when CQL!Wei Wuxian made the saddest puppy eyes at Jiang Cheng right before he let them into the throne room, and then Jiang Cheng did actually let them into the throne room? Remember when CQL!Jiang Cheng foreshadowed his later adventures in getting useless stabbed by flinching towards Wei Wuxian when Jin Guangyao drew his sword on them? These are simply my favourite versions of these characters and I feel validated in my excellent taste whenever I pause to think about them. Spoilers and Bookji below

A quick bust of General Irrelevant's Cheese!

I've only met a few artists as passionate about drawing as GI is, and as willing to help out peers who are still learning.  Cheers to all you do!

Cyberpunk 2077 was sabotaged by the media's shallow BS and a piss-poor console release, but it's been reborn. Give us smaller expansions, story-based, that involve smaller areas (the other part of North Oak, for instance, or the Arasaka supercarrier, and buildings that are currently just facades) composed of existing assets. Leverage AI- I'll go there- to help ease the workload. AI's ethical use is doing some of the grunt work using an asset library, work that gets reviewed by humans. Maybe they do this already, I don't know.

I'm not saying this will be easy- the world economy sucks- but I think it would be worth it. Look at the sales for PL! It'll be seven years at least before their next projects come out. Please give this story it's full due.
