I want to save up for the next time TM Opera O is on rateup
unsure on whenever that is though
runic ether
speaking of ruina
would i need to play lob corp
or is lob corp for the most part skippable
slow raft
From what ive heard of people who started with limbus and then worked back, it doesnt leave yoi confused or anything.
Some think it enhances the story, some think it detracts
honest pawn
ruina does kinda just tell you the entirety of the plot of lobcorp but you will be left a bit confused by the ending if you haven't finished lobcorp
that being said, lobcorp is not a very fun game to play imo
runic ether
cus i have seen lob corp gameplay and i am just not really into that. maybe i'll give it a shot after ruina
slow raft
Fact of the matter is that one of the prltagonists, who is also your main viewpoint, doesnt know what happened in l corp and, over the course of the story slowly gets told bits and pieces it together
slow raft
cus i have seen lob corp gameplay and i am just not really into that. maybe i'll...
Lob corp has the problem that is very intent of using the medium of games to its fullest to immerse you in its main character. You are supposed to empathize with his struggles and boy does that man suffer quite a bit during his story
runic ether
mm
so its not letting the story happen to the game
its using the game to tell the story
slow raft
Honestly, if you want added context, you can just treat it as a visual novel and look up the story, or alternatively there should be aquite a few summaries with everything you need to know for library of ruina
honest pawn
I would recommend trying it on sale or through other means and playing until it stops being fun (I pushed through and beat the whole game but that's just something wrong with me)
slow raft
Im of the opinion that it stands perfectly fine on its own, without having played lob corp, but having experienced lob corps story does help you understand some characters and developments better
honest pawn
I personally enjoyed Lob Corp but most of my admiration for it comes from the underdog story of PM more than the gameplay itself
slow raft
If you jump in blind it becomes a bit of a mystery, as you slowly uncover the past and learn who these people are, which im told quite a few people enjoyed.
honest pawn
TL;DR they were scammed halfway through development by their translator and they had to pull across the finish line with pocket lint
runic ether
I would recommend trying it on sale or through other means and playing until it ...
i did get ahold of the game
but yeah i think i can give it a shot after ruina
and if i feel lost on something i'll jus watch the story of lob corp

I mean its hard to spot if you dont know many languages or spend time thinking about it fwiw

Idk, between Tres, Cinq and Seven I figured itd be obvious
slow raft
Project moon fans are just mentally ill enough to spot something like this rather quickly
Many of the associations dont feature front and center
runic ether
okay fair
i caught on quick when i saw that the hana association takes care of the other fixer associations
thats when i knew
slow raft
Theres like one mention of tres in the game iirc for example
runic ether
seven, shi, cinq, eight, and liu thats when i knew
slow raft
I think people were reverse engineering association names back in the day once the sinner order became known
It is of course, still unknown what the actual link is going to be, besudes the nationality
Not a single sinner so far has worked for an association outside of a mirror world, i think
At best Meursault seems like the kind of guy to casually reveal that he was employed by the hana in the past
Sidenote, i cant wait for the eventual hana ids, genuinely one of my favourite factions
runic ether
it is an interesting faction if they are the ones to decide on color fixers
runic ether
i wonder if one of our sinners will eventually be designated as a color. i feel like while don would be the obvious pick, i kinda hope its rodya
would be a good parallel with sonya
rodya is pulled further and further along on the chain of command in the city as sonya further emboldens the yurodivye and the communist ideals they hold to overturn the city. also that'd make her pretty special overall which is what she craves while feeding into the conflict she already feels watching the yurodivye start doing things
slow raft
Imo, if one of the sinners gets a colour it could only possibly be dante
But that doesnt mean the other sinners cant become colour level in power
runic ether
off the merit of reviving the sinners?
slow raft
Of the merit taht the sinners are chained to them
runic ether
i can see it (though idk if that is enough to qualify as a color fixer)
yeah can like... a group be considered a color?
wouldnt that just be another classification?
slow raft
Oh for sure they could get like a star of the city rating
But a colour is an expressiin of extremety, not just power
runic ether
ahh okay got it so its not that all color fixers are combat geniuses/prodigies
or strong beyond grade 1
digital marlin
runic ether
but have some x factor that pushes them over the edge of grade 1
digital marlin
🥹
slow raft
They are all absurdly strong of course, since thats what it takes to survive with a target painted on your back
(With one notable fraud)
But on paper, to be a colour is to excell at something
runic ether
does the color itself mean anything for color fixers?
like is a yellow tiger for instance would be weaker than the red gaze?
slow raft
Of the ones we know its mostly just the colour they wear the most or thats the most striking lmao
slow raft
like is a yellow tiger for instance would be weaker than the red gaze?
Oh no its not powrlevels
runic ether
lol i just think about indigo elder his most second notable feature is being fucking old
slow raft
Well you know what they say about old people in a proffesion that dies young
runic ether
true!
slow raft
But yes it is rather funny
I do fuck with the indigo elder immensly
Perhaps my 4th favourite colour
runic ether
actually i am struggling to think of a color fixer besides vergilius, indigo elder, and the one don mentioned in the garden i think they were a color fixer too
was bari a color?
slow raft
We dont know i think
runic ether
she likely was as strong as one but predated the title is my guess?
slow raft
Wasnt siegfried a colour?
runic ether
ah i see 
yeah i dont think siegfried was a color fixer. he beat the sinners in 46.5 seconds and i dont believe vergilius would take that long for a fixer focused on strength like siegfried is
i would actually like to see a rematch now. i feel like the sinners would get close like the ricardo rematch. that one was a doable fight if it wasnt for the sweepers interrupting
slow raft
im kinda suprised they set him up and havent done anything with him yet
im just waiting for the checovs gun to fire atp
runic ether
yeah tho idk what he would be for atm
don doesnt need another confirmation that not all fixers are good ppl. shes well aware now. maybe his purpose will be for a don aura check
slow raft
well hes a (probably) high grade fixer with a penchant for showmanship who likes to style himself a hero and work for corps
i figure the characters whos canto he would fit into most have already gotten theirs, so maybe an intervallo while we get to know a corp?
idt he will have much main story relevance but its odd to just introduce someone liek that for basically no reason
runic ether
yeah if he had a place to show up in it was then and he didnt (but he was mentioned briefly iirc)
yeah i feel like it'll be a case of he'll be used to showcase don's current resolve/dream and solidify its rammifications

she can easily come off as the series glup shitto
i think even before her canto she shows quite well that shes not just whatever autism creature she get reduced to in memes fwiw, especially in canto 3
but many people dont giver her the thought or time of day to realize that
runic ether
yeah for sure and she def comes off as just a silly creature a lot in memes i see dated to the before canto 7 times
not surprised ppl would miss depth
slow raft
yeah its hard to convey that she is both a silly creature and also not

post canto 7 don is genuinely very interesting
the dynamic shifts so much
slow raft
really loved her segment in routine checkup

and i can see why some ppl may not like hohenheim but i was won over by that part

in general i love how the characters shift after their cantos but yi sang and don might eb my favourites
well i think hohenheim is a blast

i like that hes a little shit towards faust and she hates his guts too

also just in general though that yeah i think don def won out the most out of all the sinners for her canto (so far) in terms of characterization with yi sang a close second and they both had really good moments that intervallo (all the sinners did for the most part)

not up to manage more than 2 gachas
summer hornet
I still love all the Arknights events
copper steppe
i have spending my time playing octopath 2
summer hornet
Each one has been a fantastic standalone story (other than the Sui, but they're still pretty palatable)
copper steppe
also because my phone heats like the sun when im playing arknights
summer hornet
Ahhhh, yeah that'd do it
I play Arknights on a tablet these days, same for every gacha other than FGO
old galleon
i have spending my time playing octopath 2
respectable choice
copper steppe
good call lol
summer hornet
ironically, Arknights is probably the least intensive of the gachas I'm currently playing on the tablet
mortal iron
Should I finish Arknights chapter 8 or do some more G Eternal Tower stages
What ends first
summer hornet
.....Tower lol
mortal iron
Tower then
summer hornet
Chapter 8 is permanent
mortal iron
Atleast get to floor 14 for lacus
mental acorn
ch8's been there for years it ain't going anywhere
mortal iron
Shes pretty solid
summer hornet
You're right, and as soon as you said that I felt disappointed. Which made me realize I have been subconsciously putting off the Tower stages because of the timesink
Schist
mortal iron
What floor are you at
mortal iron
That shouldn't be too hard iirc
It's just, move forward, do not bother taking away the yellow bar enemies coz theyre like not part of the enemy count
mortal iron
Just like dont position your guys in the MAP attack and just move all your guys forward
Also dont bring units that cant fly above water
So like no ez8 iirc
summer hornet
Look good?

all caught up on the new nikke chapters now, ||brutal cliffhanger on the surface storyline but tons of major lore drops, great progression on the anis storyline, and shit's getting real crazy real fast on the emergent neon/outer rim story||
rapid bough
||uncertain, but it's apparently mostly focused on sixo right now. D.E.E.P. was referenced in the surface storyline though, by nayuta, the previously alluded to (in last kingdom) and now newly introduced fourth member of pioneer||
||the outer rim story ended on a cliffhanger too with a very ambiguous setup since it involved neon's glasses which we still don't know the origin of, but the context prior was mostly sixo-related||
all told these chapters were solid, lots of good setups across the board
3rd anni looking to be a doozy
wispy goblet
the theme they've said is "assemble," memory serve me right
rapid bough
i'm glad i risked some spoilers (luckily mostly avoided) by putting off my story playthrough til they fixed the EN voices
nikke's EN VO is already very good but this chapter stood out with some particularly great performances, especially (as mentioned earlier) by anis's VA, michelle marie
having to listen to it all with a chipmunk filter would've definitely ruined the experience
one thing i do wish they'd do is have some more story CGs or cinematics
there were multiple times the scene just faded to black and gave a description of what was happening, and the description was really cool or detailed and would've made for an awesome CG, but nope just black screen
missed opportunities imo
wispy goblet
DId they change Poli's VA? Hearing her favorite item splash voice line and it sounds... deeper than I remember.
rapid bough
but oh well, sadly nothing new. as much as i like nikke's story and VO, the effort put into its presentation has always been sorely lacking. i'm a bit jealous with how good ZZZ's presentation is by comparison, for instance
rapid bough
DId they change Poli's VA? Hearing her favorite item splash voice line and it so...
i'm pretty sure they did yeah
wispy goblet
permanent change or temp VA?
rapid bough
ever since the winter event
it was announced as temp at the time i'm pretty sure
but the strike's over and she's (apparently) still not back so ???
wispy goblet
yeah it sounds so different
hmmm
was her VA in the Ice Dragon event the alleged temp?
rapid bough
yes
wispy goblet
hmm
she sounds different from then too
but I'm not comparing side-by-side
rapid bough
no idea
rapid bough
not hard mode, story 2
it would be extremely hilarious and on-brand for shift up spaghetti code for them to fix story 1's VO and leave story 2's broken lol
i played through story 1 the day they fixed the VO and mentioned that eunhwa's VA is a favorite of mine and i'm very glad they got her back
hearing her chipmunk-ified was triggering me
rapid bough
am i imagining things or is ZZZ's combat camera aggressively following my characters where i don't remember it doing so before
every time i miyabi dodge counter (which goes through the enemy) my camera snaps to her and it's driving me crazy
digital marlin
HSR servers are up
AYO
60 pulls
sadly this means more to the annoyingly long backlog of characters i need to build
summer hornet
Oh no
runic ether
just a 10 pull for now
i wanna grab cerydra for phainon
so im kinda gonna have to skip hysilens
yeah didnt get her oh well
rapid bough
well my month re-trial of snowbreak is over and i prolly won't be sticking with it
fanservice component is all there, cosmetics are some of the best in the biz too
gameplay just falls flat for me tho
gonna stick it out for a few more days still since i'm really close to pity on a character i was pulling for lol
i may be leaving but i won't leave defeated by gacha
digital marlin
i may be leaving but i won't leave defeated by gacha
if its making you stay then you have already been beat by the gacha my friend
😔
rapid bough
just a few more days logging in and taking 5 mins to do dailies i swear 
summer hornet
Hysilens?
copper steppe
yeah
copper steppe
thats crazy
runic ether
only this time kafka is the support
by far
as for me: i was gonna shove her into acheron for funsies
copper steppe
not gonna pull since i have none of the chracters required
runic ether
you just need kafka really
ruan mei is technically free
and then a healer
preferably huohuo or hyacine
copper steppe
well unfortunally i only have ruan mei
jm gonna try to pull saber/archer lc and pray to god sunday comes back
digital marlin
well sunday just had his rerun so it could be a while

no yeah gj tho

Funny we both got our first clear in the same week

smh can't believe Slice of Time is the only craftable A-Rank wengine

i feel like i'm getting wooshed because it certainly is not

Btw
This is where you go to get the permanent JP voices in EN for Fate chars
It’s not in settings
digital marlin
oh
wispy goblet
i feel like i'm getting wooshed because it certainly is not
what's the other one(s)?
the other craftables are B-rank
runic ether
i didnt get her either (just did a 10 pull)
glossy latch
I do have a guarantee and Im like 40 pulls deep already
So I should be guaranteed
But I was kinda hoping to get her early 😔
rigid pilot
BTW is it E1 or Lightcone for Hysilens?
runic ether
uh
e1 is better if u have the speed
s1 is better if u have a need for speed (substats)
that said iirc its black swan who benefits most from hysilens own lc
like by a bigger degree %
rigid pilot
I don't have Black Swan and I probably won't get her if I have Ruan Mei and Huohuo
runic ether
igetcha yea
like
swan is really dot niche
3 characters for 1 archetype is def a bit tooo niche
rigid pilot
I do love her but I hope she gets added to the shop and buffed 😭
runic ether
lol
it'd be crazy
blade + black swan 2 wind dps characters both buffed
i feel like the next character to go on there will probably be someone from 2.x tho so maybe she does get added
rigid pilot
Would they add Boothill? I kinda love him
glossy latch
I mean its probably Firefly no?
runic ether
hes actually kinda busted
in the free shop?
nah
she still sells decent
err its the "free" shop
maybe it'll be the more niche ones like jiaoqiu, yunli, and fugue?
but i cant see firefly on the free selector
glossy latch
I dont think its Yunli
rigid pilot
Hope not. Especially after catching up to Amphoreus, I'm more upset at her existence/handling.
CERTIFIED Firefly hater but it isn't her fault
glossy latch
There's a chance 3.8 does something with her 
rigid pilot
Is 3.8 supposed to be more Penacony confirmed confirmed?
runic ether
ya
rigid pilot
Honestly I feel like I'm crazy but Penacony had SUCH a massive fall off after the beginning and I really preferred the Xianzhou stories a lot more.
glossy latch
Just that most likely Mr. Reca is gonna be part of it
rigid pilot
I wouldn't mind if they give Penacony a bit more to develop properly though
rigid pilot
Just that most likely Mr. Reca is gonna be part of it
He was actually the best part of the college quest line
Also
glossy latch
I wouldnt know, I still havent played it lmao
rigid pilot
Rappa was basically a better Firefly in my eyes with how she was handled
rigid pilot
I wouldnt know, I still havent played it lmao
Wow I blitzed past you? Haven't you been playing way longer than me?
rigid pilot
LOL
glossy latch
I have
rigid pilot
Guess so
glossy latch
But I also have not played the story since Penacony ended
I really did not care for Xianzhou and by the time of Amphoreus I just kinda forgor
rigid pilot
Amphoreus is genuinely so much better than anything else thus far. The story beats just work for me.
runic ether
its definitely good
tho i am upset at how little content we get per patch
guess thats how u catch up tho hmm
rigid pilot
I don't mind gachas having a slower roll on events TBH
Though HSR and FGO are the only two gachas I play anyways
On the flipside it's about all the gaming I can do nowdays
glossy latch
Oh I have randomly maxed out Sampos lightcone now
Its a shame Sampo is redundant now that I have BS 😔
glossy latch
Still his lightcone is BS' best 4* option sooo
rigid pilot
Oh I have randomly maxed out Sampos lightcone now
I barely have one and I need it for Hysilens too
I'm starved for Lightcones. I definitely feel what Misty has said about this game getting you on Lightcones.
That said I only have Saber's and Archer's
rigid pilot
Plus some random ones I got from the Standard banner
glossy latch
Tbh with DoT you have GNSW and the MoC one which are fine alternatives
rigid pilot
I refuse to roll for them
Saaaame
honest pawn
have the dons
rigid pilot
Wait
I got The Herta's cone oops
I forgot I got that
I'd get a lightcone for a favorite
glossy latch
Like it's Showtime is perfectly reasonable of a 4* option
rigid pilot
But that's it
runic ether
dot lightcones are just particularly shit (they arent)
glossy latch
Oh I forgot about the mail gems

How much speed for Kafka on the Wind set?
rigid pilot
What the fuck
glossy latch
No Hysilens 😔

Hysilens is my third character over 160 speed and that's behind Hyacine and triple speed set for Rememberance Trailblazer. How do you get speed
glossy latch
Guess Ill get her within the next few weeks

Yeah no unless youre running RM you just have to get a shitton of speed rolls

even with rm
i'd recommend a ton of speed rolls
wait wtf is your hysilens speed rn
digital marlin
im never speed hell
rigid pilot
166
digital marlin
WTF
rigid pilot
WHAT
runic ether
just a bit
oh wait ur on rm
ur fiiine
i think
ur mins are 134/160 or 129/150 with sig
try and get to 3600 atk after buffs which kafka should help with tbf
and huohuo so not too worrying there
but if u can get to 3600 naturally all the better
honestly
if u cant hit 3600 naturally and post buffs
glamoth will be bis for a while
also for kafka i did fuck up but it is 164 spee
speed
to get 3 actions round 1
this doesnt count rm
oh right if u havent farmed a relic set for kafka
runic ether
it is absolutely going to be lushanka + err rope
honest pawn
it begins...
runic ether
ruina music hit me like crack hit impoverished communities in the 80s
im enjoying the game so far and will def be playing more but probably after i finish canto 8
rigid pilot
it is absolutely going to be lushanka + err rope
So Kafka has turned into a Hysilens buff bot? But she does look so good doing that mmm
glossy latch
She's functionally DoT harmony now ye
rigid pilot
also for kafka i did fuck up but it is 164 spee
Before or after Ruan Mei?
Oh nevermind
Not counting Ruan Mei
So with Ruan Mei it'd be lower
runic ether

I hate the feeling of getting into a game when everyone else is already playing/far ahead of me.
mortal iron
Me with gachas
mortal iron
I even feel that way with gachas ive dropped that played for years
I usually reinstall dokkan every anni, and I was like, oh, im so behind and I dont like this pressure
I just uninstall it again
The moment I feel pressure from getting gacha units is when I consider uninstalling
orchid elbow
Huh.
mortal iron
Ive been feeling alot of that in umamusume with the support cards
orchid elbow
I get gacha burnout, and the games just sit there on my phone.
Untouched.
like Dokkan, Cookie Run Kingdom... stuff like that.
mortal iron
Duel links is another example, I was like super sweaty tryhard
orchid elbow
I see.
mortal iron
Then I dont remember what thing from 2019? But it was so whaley that I had to quit
orchid elbow
whaley meaning a lot of fellas were spending money on it, right?
mortal iron
So far my gachas have been fairly light on that regard
- genshin, Im goated with the sauce i guess, stygian almost was quit worthy but it's just like a weapon skin that expires when the event is over so idgaf
- sd gundam g eternal because of the sp system and developable units are very good, I can easily skip many banners
mortal iron
whaley meaning a lot of fellas were spending money on it, right?
Yes, the pressure to keep up
With the latest thing
orchid elbow
Ooh, i should try that sd gundam game.
... but Genshin is a little hard to justify.
I've played a bunch of generic gacha games before tho.
mortal iron
Yeah ive poured blood sweat and tears into genshin to get to this point
orchid elbow
I... see.
I don't really like games with 'seasons'.
(I honestly miss the games where there's no need for updates)
orchid elbow
In a sense...?
mortal iron
Wait can you clarify your point more
orchid elbow
I wish events weren't one-time things.
mortal iron
Oooh
orchid elbow
Like, I get burnout from playing, then miss an event, then I get even more bummed out.
mortal iron
Yeah, atleast like events rerun in most gachas
slow raft
I mean many a gacha make their events permanent content after a bit of a buffer
Just without the limited rewards
orchid elbow
I... see. Cool.
mortal iron
Genshin not doing rerun events when there's important story and lore significance is fucking brain dead stupid I hate it
But like every other gacha I know rerun events eventually
slow raft
Yeah no, the least that should be done is let players read the story of the event
