Windforce & her wind walker(s)

Windforce isn't fond of human infants. Unlike demons who were born with basic knowledge and already aware of their purpose, babies are pitiful clump of flesh who still need everything to be handed to them a second after birth

Bonus:

..Another reason why the swords are banned from talking to humans other than their respective sword guardians

Something I find fascinating about GameOverse is the implied disrespect for children's media or non-violent media several characters hold. I am sure they'd rationalise it away if asked, but:

Kaboodle literally calls Gobbles non-violent and wishes Gobbles was a sharptoothed dinosaur eating everything in sight (wish for him to be violent, depiction at odds with the entire theme of Gobbles' Children's Media). The skills Gobbles has (Reading, Writing, Learning) are considered useless & Gobbles a waste to save, even though those are crucial base skills to learn. While Kit disagrees & consoles Gobbles while engaging with Gobbles where he is, she finds it hard to argue with Kaboodle (reminiscent of someone who disagrees but is in an environment where it is a widely held opinion). Dusk supposedly sent them on a recon mission as punishment for recruiting Gobbles, even though Dusk recruited Kit - The issue is not recruitment, it is with Gobbles. Maturity & combat capability are stark contrasts between Kit and Gobbles, so I think Gobbles' lack of both is what Dusk disapproves of (same as Kaboodle).

When entering Flapper's world, Kit immediately dismisses Flapper as a background character for being helpful, trusting & forthcoming. These are virtues and flaws often given to Children's Media protagonists, but she still considers them to be background character traits. I think this is because she has unresolved biases she is not aware of, where mature / grittier media is the 'norm' and 'how it should be'. We know her setting took itself seriously (played the adventure straight, scarred catgirl etc.) and was pretty gritty with how brutal the opening transformation was.

Fold is confused about Flapper not being able to read, but happy to take advantage of Flapper's naivety. Proceeds to manipulate Flapper while looking down on Flapper for childlike behavior (and accidentally hurting Fold, but Fold never talks to Flapper about it, just assumes Flapper should know). Generally seems to find Flapper annoying but puts up with him to complete his goal, INSTANTLY abandons Flapper once Flapper is no longer useful. Gobbles, a fellow Children's Media protagonist, is the only one to neither immediately dismiss Flappers nor treat him as just a tool.

Since Flappers is capable of and uses violence, I think it is moreso a case of characters subtly looking down on children's media - Which reflects the biases many real people have, knowingly or not. Gobbles is looked down on because he is a Children's Media protagonist played straight to the point his group gets saddled with a recon mission. Flapper is dismissed as background character for not being mature enough, and then manipulated using that. Since they're Children's Media, they aren't treated seriously. Kit tries, but even she has her hangups due to everyone around her looking down on them.

his parents made him play piano at a young age and he quit after he moved out

he does freelance commission work (tinkering and coding) because he didn't want to work in an office and he wanted funds to tinker

der censored his name in his footage because he didn't want it to tie back to him, wanting it to be impossible to find out who he was so no one would have to see what's behind the gate (or, from the horse's mouth, wifies just wanted a way to subvert expectations…)

to use the toilet, wifies says he likes to think derek carried his monitor to the bathroom, but he most likely just peed in bottles

Fun fact about real life humans. Europe had functioning designs and examples of steel cannons for a long time before they were ever used in battle. And its not from a lack of opportunity.

Leaders just didn’t care for the expense or risk of upgrading when brass had worked so well for napoleon.

Same with the machine jun, they weren’t used (in europe) for years for various small mostly subjective reasons.

And then someone lost without them.

And everyone got the upgrades.

Picture this: Space war, other species see humans as a loud but primitive race that only just joined the stars, easy to crush. The first few battles even go there way.

And then suddenly our weapons are MUCH better. Our ships we MUCH better. Our computers and training and shields. Everything is leaps and bounds ahead.

Cause you see we’ve had that technology for years, we just didn’t implement it because there was no need to. Whether it’s human nature or capitalism, we don’t improve until we’re forced to, until something makes us.

But now there was a war,

now we could justify the cost,

so we stopped holding ourselves back.

Oh hey a phighting comic (gets hit with an angst bomb)

There are four types of fish scales!

protectoursharks

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.
