To this day I still don’t understand what “100% dragon” means.
Is it like they’re pure breads? Are there literally no other animals? Is it some sort of 90’s style emphatic like “maximum overdrive 100% turbo dragon”?
I mean I “get it” I think? It’s like trying to make a science-based time travel movie. You operate with strict rules and try to keep grounded in our current reality where possible. Some theoretical concepts at least feel more “realistic” than others.
Game of Thrones tried to be somewhat grounded compared to say, Warcraft which is very high fantasy with a lot less basis in reality.
No, I get what you’re saying, I’m just saying that the name for the thing you’re describing, where some fantastical premise is extended logically using more realistic science, is “science fiction”.
Dude no shit come on. I don’t think dragons are based in reality. They don’t exist. What are you trying to say? That I don’t understand what science fiction is?
You can go “dragons are magical indestructible things that breathe fire because hand waves” or you can try to go “if dragons are real (which they aren’t because apparently I need to state this) this is an approximation of how they’d biologically work.”
These are different things. I can’t believe I’m having to write this out.
It’s not about the degree of genetic hybridization but rather what’s playable. 100% dragon MMO means there’s only dragons, no other playable creatures. Pretty straightforward, no?

100% pure breads 🍞
I wondered how long it would take for someone to notice lol
I’m still stuck on “science-based”

We call that “science fiction”, not 100% science-based
Common mistake, is not 100% science based, is science based, 100% dragon.
Damn, you’re right. It makes total sense now.
BTW I love your username. If only there were some way to make money off it!
You really do not see the distinction I’m drawing?
