#

if u think about it

warm gull
#

and isopod talk

pliant ruin
#

isopods r just fish bugs,,,

#

if its in the sea it counts

warm gull
#

worms are one of the few things that explicitly aren't fish

#

and isopods

pliant ruin
#

every animal is either a bug or a worm or a fish

#

of some kind

warm gull
#

yes

#

bugs and worms are not fish however

#

you see

pliant ruin
#

either that or they're some weird primitive sessile fucker

#

like

#

sea sponges

warm gull
#

all land tetrapods evolved from fish at one point

#

they remain within the clade fo fish

#

therefore humans are fish

pliant ruin
#

humans are in fact fish

#

glub flgub

warm gull
#

and so are all terrestrial tetrapods

real silo
#

Are they still fitshe

frozen zodiac
#

warm gull
#

pliant ruin
#

real silo
#

pliant ruin

frozen zodiac
#

#

the weird Sentient Rocks

warm gull
#

how are the shrimps echinoderms

pliant ruin
#

no i meant sea urchins

warm gull
#

and then insects

dusk laurel
#

all animals are plants that can't photosynthesize if you think about it

warm gull
#

oh

dusk laurel
#

then we adapted clueless

warm gull
#

they aren't

pliant ruin
#

animals are actually more of mushrooms than plants

warm gull
#

animals didn't evolve from plants

pliant ruin
#

because mushrooms are closer to animals than plants

frozen zodiac
spring helm
#

animals and plants shared a common ancestor

#

they neither evolved from each other

warm gull
#

just like mammals didn't evolve from reptiles either

dusk laurel
pliant ruin
#

yeah

dusk laurel
#

yeah

pliant ruin
#

the mammals evolved from reptiles thing has been around

#

for way too long

#

when its literally not true

spring helm
frozen zodiac
#

platypus are mammals right

pliant ruin
#

tyes

#

yes

dusk laurel
#

yess

spring helm
#

yeah

warm gull
#

it's okay

frozen zodiac
#

ok if god does exist what was he on when he created platypus
if god is not actually real how did evolution lead to platypus is our world an anomaly in that regard

real silo
#

And I only learned about that TOday

#

ANT?

warm gull
spring helm
#

the environment that gave rise to the platypus just so happened to match what made the beavers evolve their tails and what mad ehte ducks evolve their bills

pliant ruin
#

one of the largest paleozoic synapsids

spring helm
#

something like that

warm gull
#

why is it called a saurus

real silo
#

That's a big dog

violet sparrow
pliant ruin
#

alot of animals that arent dinosaurs have -saurus in their name

real silo
#

perrious

spring helm
#

hm...

dusk laurel
#

saurus is latin for reptile

#

so idk

pliant ruin
#

it does mean Lizard and not Dinosaur to be fair

#

still sort of wrong given it's not a reptile but

warm gull
pliant ruin
#

there's a dinosaur called Thanos so it's not like they make much sense most of the time anyways

spring helm
warm gull
#

have you seen the barack obama spider

violet sparrow
#

dont dinosaurs not really fit modern definitions of reptiles

warm gull
#

they are reptiles

dusk laurel
#

i love archosaurs

warm gull
#

by the definition of being within the reptile clade

#

just like birds are reptiles

violet sparrow
#

i said modern definitions

#

they were warm blooded weren't they

warm gull
#

what are the modern definitions of a reptile?

#

I'm pretty sure clade defines what they are

pliant ruin
#

They are reptiles but they don't fit the Objectively Wrong Middle School Definition of Reptiles Why do they keep Teaching This it's literally Wrong Stop Doing That ™️

the annoying child

hoary berry
#

woah

#

awesome

warm gull
#

it seems like it would be very hard for a dnd character to fight a sandworm

#

just in general

#

they only pop out of the ground when attacking and then they basically just miss or swallow you whole

pliant ruin
#

theres a few sandworms in dnd

#

and also a cave worm

#

a really really big cave worm

#

thats also purple

warm gull
#

yes ik

#

especially the last one

#

that one stuck in my brain for some reason

#

mostly because how does it burrow through solid rock at a reasonable speed and not just leave a big opening behind it everywhere

pliant ruin
#

evil power

#

last guys btw

devout grotto
#

Wait huh is Azafure legit a Britain-inspired nation or is it all jokes

deft vessel
#

Oh thats why scal is British

warm gull
#

I think it's mostly jokes

#

though London was known for having absolutely abominable air quality during the industrial revolution

soft geyser
warm gull
#

and azafure was doing industrial shit

soft geyser
#

That has to be a lie

warm gull
#

and calamitas speaks britainese

soft geyser
#

No way scal is British

#

She doesn’t go

deft vessel
#

Yu uh

soft geyser
#

You bloody mate I will boil you into pot of tea

have you watched the sbc video on DM Dokuro's channel she's explicitly british

She doesn’t do that

No usage of bloke

Chap too

hoary berry
#

i haven't heard someone use bloke unironically in months

#

or chap

real silo
#

They're the funniest

hoary berry
#

also what is nucleogenesis? a pauldron?

real silo
#

A nuke core

#

or smth idk ask pengo

hoary berry
#

star-tainted generator looks like a pauldron
statis' curse is a scarf

#

wait no

#

body armour?

real silo
#

a scauldron

#

like from httyd

hoary berry
#

so real

#

honestly

#

awesome creature

#

i always though statis' curse was a scarf but

deft vessel
#

I thought it looked like a belt

real silo
#

That does look like a scarf though

hoary berry
#

it does but also it goes so far down the torso

real silo
#

Terraria proportions probably

hoary berry
#

yeah

#

anyhow so we have a scarf(?) and a pauldron combining to make nucleogenesis

#

so what is it

#

i can sort of see it being a pauldron but also not really

#

i could go down the funky route and say it replaces your heart

#

since the way it pulsates reminds me of a heart to some extent

real silo
#

Yea it kinda looks like that

#

I would say generator looks kinda like an organ too

split mortar
#

What does it look like when equipped

real silo
#

No equip sprite afaik

split mortar
#

:(

hoary berry
#

only statis' curse has an equip sprite

#

of the three

#

srite

hoary berry
split mortar
#

I think it looks like a stronger version of the star generator

#

Which doesn’t that look like a pauldron

real silo
#

It only looks like a pauldron because it's kinda similar to slagsplitter

untold oracle
#

What are we loring lorers

real silo
#

I don't think it's meant to be a pauldron though

split mortar
#

Crusty as fuck images

real silo
#

You're crusty...

hoary berry
#

i think i'm gonna say generator is a pauldron, just because i like the idea, but yeah whether or not it actually is one is up for debate

split mortar
#

Imo nucleogenesis would be a pauldron aswell

hoary berry
#

i can sort of see it, but imo it looks too close to a full circle for that

#

i'm sort of leaning on going down the route of it replacing your heart (or at least acting as an extra one, just it pumps mana rather than blood)

split mortar
#

It doesn’t seem any more circular to me

#

Just at a different angle

hoary berry
#

okay i tried to draw a diagram to show how full of a circle each one makes in my head but that didn't go well at all 💀

sinful adder
#

I think it looks like a... Spiral shell? Bicycle wheel with tentacles?

#

These do look like pauldrons, but they look equally like helmets or chest plates for that matter

#

The ones above I mean

#

I think the stat one is a generator pack thing

hoary berry
#

the top two circles are how full of a circle i personally can see in each of their sprites
the bottom left is how i imagine nucleogenesis to actually be if we could see other angles of it (related to the second heart idea, the hole is where mana it generates leaves to fill the body)

split mortar
#

To me nucleo seems like star tainteds circle but the tentacles make it seem more like the circles you drew

Why does it have tentacles

hoary berry
#

mana leaking out in such high densities that it takes on a physical form is the first thing that came to my mind, but that's literally just "it's magic so it could probably do this"

#

i do wish that the class accessories of that tier each had a little tooltip describing them

#

from what i can see only eclipse mirror does

deft vessel
#

Tbh its looks like its a growth on you

split mortar
#

Isn’t nanotech the ultimate class acc for rogue

deft vessel
#

Indeed

hoary berry
mighty zenith
#

there's three actually

split mortar
#

Rogue getting preferential treatment

hoary berry

deft vessel

#

Oh yeah

hoary berry

post dog is eclipse mirror

hoary berry
#

eclipse mirror, nanotech and venerated locket

deft vessel
#

What is meld blob lore

scenic olive
#

Do we really need to count that in

mighty zenith
scenic olive
#

Venerated locket

deft vessel
#

Flesh of the invaders

scenic olive
#

Looks cool

#

but feels mid at best

hoary berry
#

woah where did the kill times section on the weapon tierlist go?

split mortar
scenic olive
#

I wish venerated locket was upgradeable

#

or

#

something that you could craft with cosmilite

hoary berry
#

not another cosmilite craft

scenic olive
#

how did hell did bandit got that in their hands

#

Or maybe

#

Make it so that only statis sell it

hoary berry
#

we made it, then bandit stole it from us and made us buy it from them

scenic olive
#

its like the equivalent of Batman saying Clark you work in my building youre paying me with my own money

sinful adder
#

I imagine the bandit grabbed a chunk of cosmilite that we missed from DoG's corpse

untold oracle
#

Nah

She went into the distortion to get it

#

i just found these notes i wrote for an OC's encounter with cal and idk wtf kind of sleep deprivation i was on

#

i might still use the idea of the terrarian sensing cal's approach from far away during meditation

#

i think i'm just gonna delete that doc

split mortar
#

That seems like sleep deprived beyond belief writing

hoary berry
#

thankfully i didn't try to write anything beyond notes because that would've been an absolutely miserable abomination to read

split mortar
#

Sleep deprived you is a comedy writer

hoary berry
split mortar
#

Well, do sleep it’s important

untold oracle
#

Just wrote a funny way on beating slime god

#

Since the paladins fire a lotta projectiles from their body, it would make sense that they would shrink from doing that

#

So as the god gets more desperate, they would spam them until they shrink so small they can be stomped to death

#

I also imagine the projectiles being corrosive

split mortar
#

Yeah that is funny

sinful adder
#

It wouldn't surprise me if they can easily grow the slimes larger again

#

Or make slime from nothing

#

I think sg more likely can convert stuff into slime

stoic gulch

made from souls of peeps who probably fell to draedons charisma

and then declined from yharim cuz they have theyre own will

fossil gyro

Ik dude what i was saying is, the vanilla bosses in calamity werent messed with gameplay wise, and the calamity "city level" bosses are stronger than them, so i think calling calam superbosses city level str is kinda dumb

time to do all of the cal animations but this time without the hood

what does gameplay have with their strength

stoic gulch

we dont really know how strong the gods or anyone really is

fossil gyro
untold oracle

There are various estimations

mighty zenith

most cal weapons are like if you took a regular ass stick, called it "Eviscerator of Unvierses" and told me it can destroy universes in one swing

its there to sound cool

stoic gulch
#

the sea god in the pins is very spooky

untold oracle
#

One of the devs approximated Yharim’s power at around 300 or smth and Xeroc’s 3800

But that’s just one of the theories

Scal’s feat on incinerating ilmeris was country level iirc

#

The eater of worlds should be planetary level!

#

Just check the name out!

fossil gyro
#

Big metal worm with lasers and a massive mouth

#

So every boss thats stronger than it should be higher

fossil gyro
#

Destroyer tho? Maybe

sinful adder
#

No it doesn't

untold oracle
#

Not necessarily

sinful adder
#

It is a mining machine with laser guns

#

And this is a world with magic

deft vessel
#

Calamity feels quite medieval so towns and stuff are a lot lot lot smaller than cities

untold oracle
#

Attack potency and destruction potential or whatever they’re called are different things

sinful adder
#

Power scaling is also just 95% bullshit

stoic gulch
mighty zenith
#

calamity's technological progress is kind of all over the place

untold oracle
#

That’s what I love

fossil gyro
deft vessel
#

If i steal the us nuclear codes does that make me planetary level? Huh

fossil gyro
#

A block

untold oracle
#

Holy shit

#

Real life powerscaling

fossil gyro
#

Holy shit big metal worm is actually made of aliminium foil

sinful adder
fossil gyro
#

And the probes run of magic and lenses

sinful adder
#

The destroyer can definitely destroy a town

fossil gyro
#

Yeah man

sinful adder
#

And more given enough time

#

But not in a single attack

untold oracle
fossil gyro
#

So why is my 6mil HP plasma shooting dragon not higher than city level

mighty zenith
#

i could destroy a city given enough time by just mining it all up

#

does that make me city level

sinful adder
#

A real life human can destroy a mountain with a shovel, given centuries

split mortar
sinful adder
#

Power scaling is bullshit is why. The concept of "city level" or "planet level" makes no sense.

mighty zenith
#

fossil gyro
#

True but a lore writer used it

sinful adder
#

That doesn't matter

fossil gyro
#

To say yharim, owner of said plasma dragon, is city level

deft vessel
#

City level is if you can destroy it in one attack

split mortar
untold oracle
sinful adder
#

Answers have been given for people who want them

deft vessel
#

I think

tall delta
#

mold

deft vessel
#

But idk

sinful adder
#

Yharim can punch a person through a mountain at maximum power

#

That's the amount of power available

untold oracle
sinful adder
#

The dragon makes fire tornadoes but it's a big angry bird, it's not all powerful

fossil gyro
#

So completely disregard vanilla lore and the moon lord having a celestial armada than can destroy the planet?

split mortar
#

Yes

sinful adder
#

Yep

untold oracle
#

Not to mention exotechnology-powered armor along auric rejection

split mortar
#

Vanilla lore not canon

fossil gyro
#

Damn

deft vessel
#

Thats his whole army

untold oracle
sinful adder
#

Keep in mind, it's easy to overlook how powerful "city level" is

split mortar
#

We don’t have celestial pillar lore for calamity and in vanilla the pillars bind moonlord away from the earth

deft vessel
#

Also vanilla moonlord = cuthulu
Calamity moonlord ≠ cuthulu

split mortar
sinful adder
#

You would need an entire army of ordinary people with regular guns to kill slime god

Yuh uh

Nu uh

Stats ain’t affecting the lore strength in calamity, more health in calamity doesn’t mean you’re above vanilla

The player character's lore is up to you

Oh god

#

You can say they're stronger

untold oracle
#

We have summoned

The picture

#

I think

split mortar
#

I mean if you consider the void Cthulhu moves as the Lovecraft void then moonlord is like in boundless

deft vessel
#

Remeber
Gameplay ≠ lore!

sinful adder
#

Lovecraft is also stupid

fossil gyro
deft vessel
#

He was quite uneducated

sinful adder
#

I am not sure if that is right

#

He was a paranoid weirdo, sort of

deft vessel
#

Or he just did not research shit

#

Also racism

fossil gyro
sinful adder
sinful adder
deft vessel
#

I mean yeah. But he did not understand a lot that he was writing about

split mortar
#

With how vanilla is the fragment flavour text may not be metaphor or non canon

sinful adder
#

As is any lore that scales that high

fossil gyro
#

Iy really is not

sinful adder
#

Vanilla lore contradicts itself all the time, so it should all be ignored

split mortar
#

To be fair lore is prob one of the last things relogic cares about making make sense

deft vessel
#

Terraria itself is not really a loreful game

split mortar
#

Only source is basically the bestiary

fossil gyro
#

You can barely feel the powecreep in calamity if all characters hover around city block and city tier

split mortar
#

Well Xeroc is like country level

#

And Noxus is more destructive

fossil gyro
#

Base terraria powercreep makes more sense

deft vessel
#

No?

random mulch
sinful adder
#

Not at all

deft vessel
#

Big rock to cuthulu

split mortar
#

City block is like three sky scrapers, city level is like thousands

sinful adder
fossil gyro
#

Stupid slime that killed a single ninja -> cthulhu's eyeball -> city destroying wall of flesh -> mechs that were intended to destroy the world -> celestial invasion to destroy the planet

deft vessel
#

It’s mostly that what city is it based on

sinful adder
#

Power scalers don't understand narrative importance of things at all

fossil gyro
#

In calamity you have to cut that at around pre HM and stretch it

random mulch
#

time to do catastrophe, cataclysm and the soul seeker

sinful adder
split mortar
#

You do know Cthulhu is basically a adjective to mean big and strong in calamity

#

Right?

sinful adder
deft vessel
fossil gyro
#

Celestial creatures are invading -> theyre capable of taking over entire solar systems

sinful adder
#

Solar systems don't exist in calamity

fossil gyro
#

Thats fair

split mortar
#

that just means they’re made of celestial matter

Which is fragments and meld blob

fossil gyro
#

Wheres the great sand shark foight

sinful adder
#

The calamity universe has different physics that cannot be made equivalent

split mortar
fossil gyro
#

Celestially

sinful adder
#

The fallen stars you see in game are real stars in calamity terms, the balls of gas we call stars in real life don't exist in calamity

split mortar
#

Yeah stars are just mana balls

deft vessel
#

This reminds me of the fact that my ”mods” (it does actually not exist). The sun rotates around the main planet

sinful adder
split mortar
#

Astral meteor is bigger then normal stars since it’s bloated

fossil gyro
#

They invaded from space means they have the means to wage intergalactic war

sinful adder
#

You could have fallen stars with legs and they'd be celestial creatures

split mortar
#

Not really, space is like not that far

#

They could be half way to the moon and it would be a celestial invasion

sinful adder
#

Have you seen space in terraria? It's like 200 ft above you

fossil gyro
#

Moon lord reigns over the moon, it's a planet v moon conflict at the bare minimum

split mortar
#

Nope

fossil gyro
split mortar
#

Moonlord not from moon

sinful adder
#

That's like saying your next door neighbor is invading

deft vessel
split mortar
#

It’s called moonlord cause it’s trapped there

fossil gyro
#

If it was really space you wouldnt fall back down

sinful adder
fossil gyro
#

In real space 0 grav

split mortar
sinful adder
random mulch
#

funny guy

split mortar
#

Football

deft vessel
#

You dont fall is you are outside of earths gravitational pull

split mortar
fossil gyro
#

Ok, in out of orbit space both you and earth's gravitational pull wouldnt be enough to pull

split mortar
#

Since gravity doesn’t have a end just a point where it stops needing to be considered

deft vessel
fossil gyro
#

Which is where moon lord is, way out

sinful adder
#

No, that's not how orbit works actually

split mortar
#

Stuck in the moon

sinful adder
#

I will give you a physics lesson

fossil gyro
#

Please dont make me pull g = Gm1m2/d² or whatever

#

May have gotten the denominator wrong

#

I took physics

sinful adder
#

Physics lesson: In real life, space starts 100 km up, as a completely arbitrary line. Being "in orbit" means you are falling downwards, but are moving sideways so fast that you always miss the ground. The moon, if it were moving sideways fast enough to make a full rotation every 30 days, would be attracted to the earth and fall. The earth, if it were not moving around the sun once every 365.25 days, would fall towards it

fossil gyro
#

I KNOW

split mortar
#

So even the moon is falling to the earth

fossil gyro
#

Facts

sinful adder
#

The earth's "hill sphere" is its gravitational influence range, beyond which the pull from earth is canceled out by the pull from the rest of the universe. It is something like twice the distance to the moon

deft vessel
split mortar
fossil gyro
#

The moon is separated from earth

#

By space

deft vessel
#

It’s going away

sinful adder
#

The moon happens to be getting further away from the earth because it is spinning faster

fossil gyro
#

So these creatures invaded through space

sinful adder
#

Which it is doing because tidal forces or something

#

Ok then yes absolutely

#

But still, that sentence is vague and doesn't require a lot of the things you think it does

split mortar
#

We know celestial fragments are just kinda in space since deus has them in it

fossil gyro
#

Im pretty sure the nebula fist's item description is "from orion's belt, to your hand"

split mortar
#

Vanilla moment

fossil gyro
#

I know it might just be a joke but thats some pretty deep space travel

sinful adder
#

Only calamity bestiary entries, lore items, and some item descriptions are canon

split mortar
#

I’m vanilla it’s completely believable it’s like some condensed galaxy in Orion’s Belt or whatever but in calamity uhh. O

split mortar
#

Vanilla ones haven’t been changed yet

fossil gyro
#

We were discussing how vanilla crawltipede is stronger than scal

deft vessel
#

What was the crawltepede

fossil gyro
#

Mfw i craft a weapon made from enemies found in orion's belt

Solar worm that hates you flying

i love powerscaling, can we kill all powerscalers

#

Moonlords fingers

untold oracle
#

Are the cultists at the dungeon from the dragon cult

sinful adder
#

Yes

fossil gyro
deft vessel
#

Why are they summoning fovos?

sinful adder
#

They are sealing it away

split mortar
deft vessel
#

Oh

sinful adder
#

Imagine if moon lord had 4 magic rocket boosters as legs and those were the pillars

hoary berry
split mortar
fossil gyro
#

Monster hunter is a goated game

#

Safijiiva is atleast continent level

untold oracle
# sinful adder Yes

Why are they worshipping fovos then?? Isn’t he like the #1 enemy of dragons

split mortar
sinful adder
sinful adder

Like apart from nameless deity and Fargo souls I don’t think there’s really a mod that equals it or above

untold oracle
#

The tablet has fovos’ face I’m p sure

fossil gyro
#

The spectrum is smaller now

deft vessel
#

Vanilla lore makes no sence

#

That’s why

split mortar
fossil gyro
#

Also, you dont have to restrict anything, they can go multiple multiverses and 4th wall breaks if they want

sinful adder
#

Yes. That's good. It is still more than large enough. The smaller the power scale, the more interesting the story. Think of all the countless stories in existence that don't have any variation in power at all

untold oracle
#

I like it this way rather than galaxy killer hyperbosses

split mortar
#

As a writer has said

If yharim is like universal then why not get all good people into a continent and alt f4 the continent with bad people

sinful adder
split mortar
sinful adder
#

Lower power makes better, more reasonable stories

tall delta
sinful adder
#

Basically always

fossil gyro
#

You mean like post ML bosses MUST all be above planet level if not change vanilla?

split mortar
#

But they do change moonlord lore

#

So it’s no longer like star level minimum

sinful adder
#

High power scaling is a crutch. It is something bad writers use because they don't know how to make something that's actually cool

fossil gyro

cataclysm moment

Tbh a few things are designed around old lore, but still

Have yall seen catastrophes ”legs”

Like if the destroyer was another really big earthworm ill believe that it's below city level

deft vessel
#

Bro is a Stickman

untold oracle

fossil gyro
#

Big metal worm just doesnt look like its power class

fossil gyro
sinful adder
#

A lot of things only seem stronger than they are because you assume they must be based on how real life or other media does similar things

split mortar
#

Hallowed bars

fossil gyro
fossil gyro
split mortar
#

Calamity cosmology is very different to irl

fossil gyro
#

Aka way way stronger than iron

#

Tiers of bar

#

Cus no hallowed ore

split mortar
#

Iron ain’t steel

sinful adder
# fossil gyro Yeah whats wrong with referring to real life

Actually, do that. think about real life tunneling machines. They're not big metal monsters that could destroy a city, they're slow, fragile machines that just barely manage to hold up the weight of the rock above them, moving at inches a minute

split mortar
fossil gyro
sinful adder
fossil gyro
#

RL tunneling machines arent the destroyer tho, hes stronger

#

He was made for what his name suggests

sinful adder
#

Sure, just not as much insanely stronger as you think

split mortar
sinful adder
#

It's a war robot made from repurposed mining equipment, it kills big monsters, but it's not like a nuke or anything

fossil gyro
split mortar
fossil gyro

Or just wreck havoc

sinful adder

Calamitas is like an actual nuke

split mortar

fossil gyro
#

The imposter

sinful adder
#

No. Real (supreme) calamitas

deft vessel
#

Ingnore Terraria lore

sinful adder
#

Imagine the range between "normal human" and "living nuke". Calamity has that range

split mortar
sinful adder
#

But like, really think about it closely, at the level of a person gaining power

split mortar
#

Oh Venus here

cosmic zenith
fossil gyro
#

The amount of item descriptions i can find with "universal obliteration"

#

Wait

#

Isnt there a weapon called atom splitter

sinful adder
#

Those are planned to be replaced

fossil gyro
#

Not universal obliteration

sinful adder
#

Not canon

fossil gyro
#

Just like

#

Planet or more

sinful adder
#

Yeah. The atom splitter thing isn't canon

#

Unless an atom is something different in calamity

cosmic zenith
#

It is, it's just hyperbole

sinful adder
#

After all, stars are little mana balls

cosmic zenith
#

We're not gonna police cool, clearly exaggerated names just for the sake of lore

proven rivet
#

Supernova is a prime example of a Hyperbole

cosmic zenith
#

That'd be pretty lame

split mortar
sinful adder
#

Oh, so it's "canon", but it's not literal, it's the player character saying like "hell yeah, I could destroy the universe with this thing"

fossil gyro
#

So the calamity powerscaling is inconsistent

split mortar
sinful adder
fossil gyro
split mortar
#

And also shadowspec gear ain’t canon

deft vessel
#

It can cause a proble when there are too many things called like: Gilgamesh the consumer of reality

random mulch
#

apparently catastrophe doesnt have much of an idle

cosmic zenith
#

There aren't that many though?

sinful adder
#

Item descriptions and names are sometimes fake, just meant to look cool

cosmic zenith
#

The most exaggerated tier is Shadowspec, which is non-canon

fossil gyro
#

It's not a problem whatsoever when you remember solar pillar weapons exist

untold oracle
#

Or floating

cosmic zenith
#

Generally, if it's not dedicated/crossover content or blatant references, it's canon

fossil gyro
#

And they all come from constellations and shit

split mortar
#

Vanilla weirdness

cosmic zenith
#

Yeah, how we're gonna change vanilla weapons :\

fossil gyro
#

I honestly think taking the calamity weapon names n descriptions at face value makes more sense if youre following regular progression

deft vessel
#

I can probably be done. But it would just be pointles

sinful adder
#

It doesn't, you're just convincing yourself that it does

fossil gyro
#

Going from shooting nebula arcanum to an atom splitting gun makes sense

sinful adder
#

Because you want big power levels

fossil gyro
cosmic zenith
#

There's a reason the base game doesn't delve into higher power scales

sinful adder
split mortar
fossil gyro
#

I just said atom splitter cus i forgot all the other examples

cosmic zenith
#

I don't see how it's a black hole

deft vessel
#

In calamity ingnore a lot of vanilla stuff

fossil gyro
#

This goes further than equipment

sinful adder
#

Nukes are only strong because they split exponentially increasing amounts of atoms

split mortar
cosmic zenith
#

To me, it seems like a ball of magic

fossil gyro
#

DoG's soundtrack is literallt called universal collapse

#

Like dude

#

Pick one

deft vessel
#

Bro thats a song

split mortar
#

That’s old lore

cosmic zenith
fossil gyro
#

Universal destruction or city level

split mortar
#

Or something

sinful adder
#

They did pick one. They're in the process of changing to the one they picked

cosmic zenith
#

If DoG could collapse the universe, the universe wouldn't exist anymore lol

dusk laurel
#

especially since exaggerated names can be way cooler

fossil gyro
#

There is a LOT of old lore and honestly, it makes way more sense, especially bc you dont have to reconstuct vanilla lore in ur head

split mortar
#

Tbh you still had to

fossil gyro
#

Wof city level, ML planetary or above, everyone else goes higher

sinful adder
#

It is not possible for anything of that power level to be logically coherent

random mulch
#

swinging

split mortar
#

Since vanilla was like either below or above calamity

fossil gyro
#

Man, dog goes through wormholes, i dont get how thats below city level

cosmic zenith
#

Old lore still changed vanilla, it just didn't necessarily break the vague powerscaling

tall delta
deft vessel
split mortar
#

Because opening a portal isn’t always going to be multiversal

fossil gyro
dusk laurel
#

his portals are also unstable

tall delta
#

oh good

fossil gyro
#

So it's not just equipment

sinful adder
dusk laurel
#

and he can't do much against someone like yharim

split mortar
#

Yeah but the music is obviously old lore

sinful adder
#

Also, magic mirror exists. Teleportation is not a strength thing

dusk laurel
#

music was made long before new lore

sinful adder
#

The music titles are old lore because they're from years ago

cosmic zenith
#

Huh?

split mortar
#

If people were that strong, suicide nuking the earth would be common

cosmic zenith

You start out with 100 HP

DoG was around then, it could easily destroy the universe in that case

Splitting an atom is far away from wormholes, which are fully theoretical anyways as of right now
