THE FFXIV TWITTER RELEASED THIS
I'm so in love with him 😭😍
he's so cute and adorable.
This was the first thing I saw this morning. I have definately been blessed for the day.
Playing a game, called 'A Hero And A Garden' it's about a knight/hero named Cyrus who went to save a princess (who was his childhood friend) but he ended up running a shop in the town he destroyed to save her and is learning that monsters are not as bad as humans think.
The other characters (as of where I am right now) are Era, an adorable shadow monster who's super sweet, Yen, a doctor and also the first person you meet, Letta, the princess who is dating the witch(I believe), Vesper, the witch, Sooty, who is a small bat monster who helps you harvest things, Rutaboo, a turnip, and Nell, a small cat-girl who needs berries to help her mom(or at least that's what she says).
The art is super cute and super simple! And there are several languages you can play the game in!
Also, also, Cyrus is gay, and that's stated in game, because he tells the witch, "I prefer knights over princesses".
It's a lot of fun! And the dialogue is super good! I recommend it!!
Looks like this:
A guy is taking his girlfriend to prom. He waits in the ticket line for a really long time but gets them. He goes to rent a limo. The rental line is really long but he eventually does it. He goes to buy her flowers. The line at the florist is really long but eventually he gets the flowers. At prom, she asks him to go get punch. He goes to the refreshment table and there’s no punchline.
you’ve got to be kidding me

It has a sibling.
I recognize that look of exasperation anywhere.
In Finland, speeding tickets are calculated based on your income - causing some Finnish millionaires to pay fines of over $100,000. Source
This is what “equality” looks like in that liberal fairy tale land of Finland. They punish you proportionately to how successful you are. Sounds really “fair.”
Except… it is fair? Because it’s proportionate. I don’t get what’s difficult about that. An impoverished person paying $400 dollar fine isn’t the same as a millionaire paying the same amount. For the poor person, $400 dollars could mean starving. Would you really claim it would have the same consequence for a rich man? Would it even be noticeable to him, while the absence of food in their stomach would be glaring to a poorer man? Would it be fair for a man to starve for the same crime as a man that would be having a three course meal?
By taking income into account, it allows the impoverished able to still survive while paying any fines they may incur. And, ultimately, while $100,000 dollars would be noticeable to a millionaire, they would still get by. And, assuming the law is properly implemented, they would be paying the same equivalent of their yearly income that a poorer person would. That’s what makes it fair. They would be impacted the same way - but you are looking at the amount rather than the equation.
Also, it’s important to make sure that even the rich would pause at the cost of a fine. They need to fear the law just as a poor man does.
Oh no… rich people facing fines that might actually make them consider not doing illegal things because the punishments might actually hurt them… how unfair…

Finnish person here. Our speeding ticket system owns and only people who bitch about them are people who wanna break the laws - the loudest whiners are the rich people who think they can just pay their way out of trouble and that’s why we have laws like that.
400 dollar ticket.
Person making 10 dollars an hour: “Fuck, I better slow down”
Millionaire driving a Jaguar: “LOL 400 DOLLARS, FUCK THAT, NYOOM”
Compared to a proportional ticket.
Person making 10 dollars an hour and must pay 400 dollar ticket: “Fuck, I better slow down.”
Millionaire who must pay 100,000 dollar ticket: “Fuck, I better slow down.”
Like wtf. Some people have been so brainwashed by capitalism and worship of the rich that they literally can’t tell the difference between fairness and unfairness anymore.
It IS fair. The fact that it flies in the status quo so much should make you think about that status quo.
