This week, I need you to decide between cheery chat and couturial challenges.

What’s better: characters making ‘bdbdbdbdbdi’ noises while talking in text or cosmetics unlocked by challenges?

The bdbdbdbdbdi is a delight.

‘You know what’s going on here, don’t you?’ asks Flowey in an Undertale screenshot.

Ambigious, playful, and surprisingly full of personality with different pitches and modulations and effects.

bdbdbdbdbdi, the person says, and I tell them “You are my best friend.”

bdbdbdbdbdi, the person says, and I respond “How dare you!

Prepare to die!”

In some games, I’d prefer the bdbdbdbdbdi to their actual recorded human voices.

God, it’ll be achingly sad when some game abandons the bdbdbdbdbdi in favour of AI-generated voices.

Don’t do it, developers.

I’m begging you.

Or should I say, bdbdbdbdbdi, you know?

I’ll not pretend I’m above showing off.

They looked cool, and they let other people saw you had accomplished something difficult.

I know I make it look easy, but it’s hard being this good.

I also like that fashion challenges encourage me to try different things.

I’ve come out of it a better player, with a really cool eyepatch.

But which is better?

Has to be the cosmetic challenges for me.

But what do you think, reader dear?
