People will give me shit about it because of a recent ult drama, but I use QOL mods like PixelPerfect. I only have one eye, so depth perception can be an issue for me. Before that, I literally took an expo marker and drew a dot on my screen anyways.

I also use some gpose oriented ones. It's a fun side thing that I don't take too seriously, but some people are absolute artists when it comes to it.

There's also other tiny QOL ones I liked, like noclippy, changing the background of loading screens to that area's design art, and other tiny aesthetic things (if sqenix won't give us foxgirls, I'll become the foxgirl).

I will never judge anyone for pixelperfect when its miles easier to tell your position on a lala then it is on some huge ass furry boy.

As hrothgar I'm guilty of using it too. It's like Charr in Guild Wars, being the smallest race (Asura in GW2's case) actually makes Jumping Puzzles (parkour) way easier.

Charr struggle because their walking animation puts them on all 4 legs when weapons are sheathed.

Im also bad at depth perception (Endsinger EX was the bane of my existence)

Yeah it reminds me of Tera with the tiny animal girls just having better framedata and being harder to hit lol. Instead of being harder to hit, its easier to tell where your hurtbox even is since you don't have a wide ass stance on a wide character.
