The "sapient vs sentient" thing is a personal peeve. I wouldn't say it is "triggering", because that word carries specific connotations that don't apply, but it does greatly upset me to see it constantly happening. This and "dice" being used as a singular. For some reason these two common mistakes just really upset me more than they logically should so I guess I get a bit snippy and rude trying to correct it. I will try and tone things down in the future.

[/quote] That's one of the problems with a System as a full character, sometimes it is hard to tell if the character is making the mistake or the author. I tend to treat System boxes more as narration than character dialogue but if the System is a proper character in its own right then, yeah, it's an honest mistake a character would make. It doesn't bother me as much when a [i]character[/i] makes the mistake, because so many people in real life do, but when it's the narration, an thus the author, making it I get irked.

dietary harassment?

All "sentient" means is that it can feel sensations. For being able to think you want "sapient". Maybe the System really is only sentient and is just reacting with no thought behind its actions but it does seem to have a personality to it so it's probably sapient. The easiest way I've found to remember the one for thought is that humans are called [i]Homo sapiens sapiens[/i], with it being so important it got listed twice. Still, thanks for the art, looking forward to seeing where this goes. [/quote] If you are needlessly rude over a common mistake, you won't have anyone listen to you.
