i loved the grinding noises saga so much that i named both my cat and my stabby loli tomboy dragons dogma character after jack conundrum-chan, but it became obvious after a while when the MM would write 5 paragraphs paragraphs in response to a 4 word prompt that he was simply using it as a vehicle to just write what he wanted to write anyway. the worn armor, rusted dagger, and amnesia thread felt a lot more "traditionally dqn" in that regard.
