[spiral matrix]

Oh nooo another NPC

Im sorry I just noticed it

I don't recognize that one though

definitely screenshot worthy xD

[limpid ore]

i played vanilla with a friend one day and as soon as i got a fish bowl, my thoughts were just "I can take funny picture now"

this also happens to be my favorite item because it is silly

[slate crypt]

¤Fart boost.¤

[spiral matrix]

Mario got nothing on that

[limpid ore]

its the one item i speedrun getting every time i start a new world

im childish and it is hilarious

[slate crypt]

¤The character holding all its gases until that:¤

[limpid ore]

apparently its also the second best double jump in the game

[spiral matrix]

even better :')

its actually semi-optimal to use it!~

[limpid ore]

the wiki even says fart jump

[spiral matrix]

wait, base game?

or is this calamity

[limpid ore]

base game

fart jump is vanilla

the best part

[spiral matrix]

HA

I was expecting that to be modded xD

[limpid ore]

terraria has a lot of joke items

like the fuckin banana boomerang i think

and they drop from clowns

[spiral matrix]

dang why dont their noses drop 😔

I wanna honk

[limpid ore]

damn

[iron sorrel]

[spiral matrix]

absolute travesty

[limpid ore]

the clown clothes dont have a horn nose

[iron sorrel]

I love how it clarifies

"despite being a banana"

[spiral matrix]

😔 unplayable

[edgy scroll]

"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."

[limpid ore]

im trying to think of other silly stuff off the top of my head

hmm

[spiral matrix]

ill still be here but

[limpid ore]

there's a minecart that makes fart noises i think?

[spiral matrix]

its time for me to beat Survivor

[limpid ore]

ninety

[spiral matrix]

😔 i suck at the game i know

[limpid ore]

the fart kart

[spiral matrix]

What do you need minecarts in terraria for anyway

why not just walk there

[limpid ore]

the biomes are dangerous

everything can and will kill you

[edgy scroll]

nah, don't sweat it... I think I was on like cycle 114 or something when I beat it

[limpid ore]

some also have benefits- like 7 seconds of lava immunity and many of them being fast

[spiral matrix]

Only 7?

Why not total

[edgy scroll]

so you can't just make a cart that runs along the bottom of the world through the lava layer, I suppose.

[spiral matrix]

just make it go faster than 7 seconds

problem solved

[night lily]

There also are some funky stuff you could do with carts, like kiting bosses without actually needing to move yourself

[spiral matrix]

doesnt terraria have jetpacks tho

or wings

id figure flying would be better to kite than a minecart....I would guess anyway

[edgy scroll]

yeah, he's saying that the minecart lets you kite without input, meaning you can focus on using items and attacking...
and you get minecarts way before wings, too

[spiral matrix]

Ahhhh

the bosses in terraria aren't in a set arena?

[edgy scroll]

not most of them... usually you can summon them wherever, so building the most advantageous arena to fight them in is part of the prep to beating the harder ones

many do have specific locations or circumstances around summoning them, though, so you also have to know how to work around that

[limpid ore]

wings have a limited flight time unless you get a drop from a hard boss in a hard difficulty to negate it

[spiral matrix]

I died in filtration system by fall damage

im so sad

[limpid ore]

real

[spiral matrix]

ooooooooooo, makes sense then

i thought it was unlimited flying

[limpid ore]

naur

some mounts have unlimited flight tho

[spiral matrix]

I've done it boys~

[edgy scroll]

[limpid ore]

WOA

[unkempt yew]

Good morning stroues

[meager moat]

morning

[unkempt yew]

Been eating rice with sugar

[meager moat]

w h a t

[unkempt yew]

rice with sugar

[edgy scroll]

rice with sugar ain't bad

[unkempt yew]

Indeed indeed

[night lily]

[unkempt yew]

It is good, I swears homeboys

[edgy scroll]

rice can be a bit of a dessert sometimes, you know? I love me some rice pudding. (this statement is not helping me beat the 'old' allegations)

[unkempt yew]

Idk what's rice pudding but sounds good

[meager moat]

do you not cook your rice in water?

[edgy scroll]

it's pretty much pudding with rice in it. It's pretty good. A lot like tapioca pudding if you know what that is.

[edgy scroll]

I do...?

[meager moat]

oh, you mean its bland

[unkempt yew]

Cassava

Now I know

[edgy scroll]

no? (though it is, a little) if you're talking about the 'old' comment, it's because rice/tapioca pudding is just a stereotypical old person dessert

[meager moat]

wait......

[night lily]

I'm in rice = strictly non dessert camp

[meager moat]

[edgy scroll]

dessert, not desert, lol

[meager moat]

its dessert not desert.

its one damn "s"

[unkempt yew]

But what about ube sugar rice pudding?

[night lily]

never had it

[unkempt yew]

the rice war

[night lily]

Well, not exactly true i guess since I've had mango-sticky rice

(Too sweet for me though so it's far from my favorite dessert)

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

what about rice cakes with peanut butter?

[unkempt yew]

Yee

[night lily]

Rice cake/crackers? Hmmm

Yeah also not my fav

[unkempt yew]

Rice cake

🍚 + 🍰 =

[austere hawk]

American af rice cakes or those popcorn ones

[unkempt yew]

But I cannot say mine because it will offend the Hispanics

Especially what name it bears

But bibingka

[scenic escarp]

Vanilla flavored rice pudding

[edgy scroll]

just looked up what that is... it looks really good, like an egg custard or a creme brulé but with rice in it

[unkempt yew]

It's coconut

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

i like it with my orange chicken but thats about it

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

i havent found it tasty in any other way

im just picky tho

im ALSO a nutjob because i eat weird stuff

[unkempt yew]

Gato raid bread

[limpid ore]

i put beans on a chicken patty and then put it in between two toaster waffles

[wind bloom]

shows up 8 hours late with a "hi"

[limpid ore]

[unkempt yew]

A certified Papa's somethingeria cook

[limpid ore]

its yummy

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

i wonder if i should try to write 2.5k words tonight.......

[wind bloom]

do it

for the cookie

[iron sorrel]

Nah nah nah

Do it

For the orange

[limpid ore]

[limpid ore]

i have this much so far

[limpid ore]

ugh im done for tonight

no 2.5k :(

[scenic escarp]

You have cooked though

[unkempt yew]

Convert anger to Sitter's anger

[unkempt yew]

@limpid ore

[iron totem]

Better late than never

[unkempt yew]

We eatin fastfood tonight

[trim tartan]

Still need help?

[open matrix]

nahh, im fine now

tho i do have a gift for you when you log on

[limpid ore]

is that a legit image from a game

[unkempt yew]

Yes

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

holy shit

[unkempt yew]

The waffle chicken patty with beans and a large plastic cup of blurple

[limpid ore]

these beans specifically

[unkempt yew]

Baked beans

[meager moat]

It's a papa's game, like papa's pizzaria

[limpid ore]

ive played the papa games before

[unkempt yew]

We love papa's

But I find the sushi difficult

[limpid ore]

real

[balmy plume]

Might have to start writing an entirely new story because I just don't know how to continue Cycles & Taxes and this block is killing me

[fringe anchor]

[austere hawk]

Not familiar with your fic, but sometimes pivoting to writing something else can give you the mental break you need

Writing should be fun!

Oh you’re fuz

Thought you were someone new for a sec haha

[balmy plume]

After changing my username, I kept an "(a.k.a Fuz)" and thought that it had already been enough time for at least a few people to recognize that I was the same person

[austere hawk]

Banan has low perception

[limpid ore]

what should i try building in minecraft this time

a village maybe?

[spiral matrix]

A pillager farm that involves sacrificing hundreds of villagers at a time.

More serious answer....how about sprucing up your mining shafts maybe?

I always build underground so all my bases turn into a dwarf fortress inevitably lol

[open matrix]

@night lily just letting you know now, but i left the farm, returned, and it stopped working somewhere in between, rip cobble, you will be missed

[night lily]

will take a look tomorrow then i have sleep polices to hide from for now

[open matrix]

i will hold them off if they find you, run!!!

[limpid ore]

lmao someone said to do a dwarven mining village so i guess im doing both

[limpid ore]

[iron totem]

Seems like I have caught a cold

Fun!

[sonic remnant]

Oh noes, hope you feel better soon!

[lament blade]

So been thinking about Barotrauma and decided goofy experiment where the Slugcats are crewmemebers.

Captain: Gourmand
Gunners/Security/Away team: Hunter, Artificer, Spearmaster
Medic: Monk
Merchanic: Survivor
Engineer: Saint
Assistant/Clown: Inv

Thoughts?

As for why no Nightcat/Watcher...hasn't come out yet. He'll be waiting on a station probably drinking rum with the Scavenger Chief or something...

Also Saint has the handheld nuclear rifle because Saint...enough said

[unkempt yew]

Man, I had a different envision of TSA but Gourmand, Hunter and Arti were known as corsairs

[lament blade]

Just realized I forgot about Rivulet...

Other assistant but not Clown

[unkempt yew]

damn, inv is a clown after all

[lament blade]

Clowns in Barotrauma are a faction...and they may have an eldritch agreement with the oceans of Europa

[unkempt yew]

Wait a sec, aren't they the responsible of acts of saboteur?

[lament blade]

They can...or they could be that guy in the crew

"THAT" that guy

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

should i use darker blocks or lighter blocks for this build guys

[spiral matrix]

Depends how deep

More surface, do lighter blocks.

If we're talking deepslate or below go dark

[limpid ore]

i found a really light pretty new wood and am hyped to use it

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

i have biomes o plenty and oh the biomes youve gone installed

and a mod to give minor improvements to vanilla biomes

[unkempt yew]

man, minceraft

[limpid ore]

[unkempt yew]

Waz zat?

[limpid ore]

pine planks

[unkempt yew]

Idk what that is but it's seems neat

[trim tartan]

Give prompt.

I need a prompt.

Any non-RW prompt would do.

[meager moat]

you mean no RW prompt ?!

[trim tartan]

Prompt that isn’t Rain World.

Fine, JoJo x Rain World fic it is. Muse calls.

[limpid ore]

enot's bizarre adventure

[trim tartan]

What do I title it?

I never think this far ahead, actually.

[limpid ore]

[unkempt yew]

Enot's Bizarre Adventure do sounds fun 👀

[unkempt yew]

Are there any ways for me not to think another characters which isn't furries?

I fell to that kind of hole again

[simple mango]

you mean think about right?

[unkempt yew]

I mean, if I ever mention a furry, I always think on my characters, in whimsical or the downright in-a-shithole situation

[simple mango]

oh

[unkempt yew]

I must attend to a dude who lost his whole tribe then been chosen by a random "god" and went on slaughtering with no control of his own ig

[sonic remnant]

A god gifts 13 random individuals matching powers that grow stronger when they're near each other, but for the 13th they get 100 times stronger and the others get 100 times weaker near them. But the god tells them they must find the 13th and slay them, or they will die in 12 days.

[sonic remnant]

Awh

[austere hawk]

An entity comes to be in a space unfamiliar to them. What do they see?

(Tryna get some creative juice flowin)

[sonic remnant]

I shall explode

[limpid ore]

my minecraft base is basing

[sonic remnant]

unbases your base

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

[unkempt yew]

Man, in the spooky month, oneshot will emerge

LoL x RW fic

[limpid ore]

[sonic remnant]

currently jamming out to it has to be this way

[meager moat]

If one has a ranged attack, it's over

[sonic remnant]

I never said how near it has to be, nearness is relative

To thr God near could mean within a galaxy of thr others

[unkempt yew]

Man, boxing match for scugs?

[limpid ore]

fight club

[unkempt yew]

I've been thinking in the wrong time where I should finish the oneshot but here goes nothing, list of scugs:

Monk, tend to the wound in the boxing match

Survivor and Hunter, the coaches

Gourmand, heavyweight

Artificer, delivers booming punches

Spearmaster, featherweight

Rivulet, lightweight

Inv, Inv being Inv, can deliver a vicious left hook to end matches

Saint, referee

I may not really knowledgeable about boxing but hey, research is power

[limpid ore]

gourmand and his number 1 fan (smelvin)

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

i should make a smelvin blast soon

[unkempt yew]

I can imagine Smelvin in the crowd holding a comically large sign for Gourmand to win, covers the view behind the sign

[limpid ore]

dumpter and smelvin cheering on their parents

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

those little kid arguments of like "my dad can beat up ur dad" or smth and they both get told to stop, but they keep on giggling

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

its fun to think about for sure

[unkempt yew]

Indeed....

Soon....

||Stop brain, I have some wroting to do ||

[iron totem]

To be fair, gourmand is a powerhouse

[unkempt yew]

An absolute unit

[limpid ore]

i protected smelvin the entire campaign

except that one time he jumped into a void

[iron totem]

When rolling you're immune to spears and deal 2 damage on contact
Sliding stuns and deals damage. You can spam it, even when tired. We call it "gourmand maul".

Gourmand can deal up to 20 damage by falling on creatures

[limpid ore]

riv got the ploink, gourm got the BOINK

[unkempt yew]

[iron totem]

Lizards will not rng kill bite you, only lethal bites from reds and trains will kill you.
You have a chance to survive a spear throw.
Gourmand has insane eijumps/eihops

Crafting

[limpid ore]

he is a true sillyman

[iron totem]

MSC devs trying not to make their slugs insanely op /hj

The only downside of gourm is the slow vertical movement and tiredness

[unkempt yew]

Well, should I explain my scugs?

[iron totem]

You can't fpc

[iron totem]

Sure, go ahead!

[limpid ore]

[iron totem]

I have two scugs, the clothier and skibidi slugcat
skibidi slugcat is a skibidi toilet with a mouth where the nose is. Very sigma
The clothier makes clothes, is purple. Single father. Similar to survivor statwise but can use a backspear.

[limpid ore]

lemme fetch the oceanbound tidbit i sent to drymm

[unkempt yew]

So, first on the list is Bandit:
+Has a starting spear, only holds for melee
+Killing Scavengers either purpose or by accident will not affect reputation
+-Mask that could scare away but limit to purple and blue lizards
+-Can craft melee spear but take too long to process
-Slugpups will not approach you and will throw rocks or spears at you
-larger food pips
-constant king vulture attacks

Second is Apex:
+-Has claws but cannot use spear
+- Has plated armour to deflect spear attacks but every 30 seconds would lose a food pip
+- strictly carnivore, must focus on bigger game (red lizard, red centipede, king vultures, etc.)
-bigger food pip than Bandit

Third is Sitter:
+Have good reputation with Scavengers
+Fair food pips and omnivorous
+Has a chance to escape lizard bites
-lower spear damage, 0.3

(Scugs based on Petty Vengeance and Chasing Birds)

[limpid ore]

gimmicks for the oceanbound would be as follows: cannot breathe above water (can hold breath for monk times), faster underwater, monk spear damage for spears but hunter spear damage is applied when biting predators. there is no climbing or jumping underwater, so there would be gourmand speed for swimming (everywhere movement) and a fast dash that could be triggered by the jump button. gourmand speed outside of water as well. omnivorous, but gains significantly more food pips from meat.

if the oceanbound's pup dies at any point, the run ends in a "permadeath". keep it safe and fed.

start with karma 1 with a starting max of karma 5. there are no echoes to encounter in this campaign, but max 5 karma deters weak predators. there are also no region gates- only long rooms with dangerous predators.

[unkempt yew]

Must ensure scugpup?

[limpid ore]

gotta keep it safe

[iron totem]

@edgy scroll I don't know if you like frostpunk, but frostpunk 2 will release soon

You did write a frostpunk inspired fic after all

[edgy scroll]

I saw! I'm probably gonna get it, though maybe not right as it comes out

I like to let games sit for at least a couple weeks before I buy them

[fringe anchor]

Very wise

[iron totem]

Good idea

It's also quite expensive, 50$

[edgy scroll]

guhhh, okay, then I'm not getting it until it comes on sale

[iron totem]

I plan to wait and see if the watcher dlc is any good, will probably buy it, though.

[edgy scroll]

At this point, I think I'll get watcher no matter what the initial reviews say. Believe it or not, I really like Rain World, and I'm looking forward to having something to really dig into in the game that doesn't have the 'slightly unstable and/or slightly unfinished' feeling mods have most of the time.

[limpid ore]

i have no money (and wont for a while) but do plan on getting the dlc in the future

[iron totem]

Have you tried drought by the way, it's pretty polished now?

[edgy scroll]

Nope. Haven't really played RW in about a month or so... just havent been in the mood for it, I guess.

[iron totem]

Fair enough

It's almost guaranteed you will die a few bs deaths

[edgy scroll]

I have played quite a few modded regions, I'm familiar with some of the bs, I think

[fringe peak]

Ok I'm going to add smithing villagers sometimes later

but if anyone wants to add smiths go ahead, I might not be able to come back quickly

[night lily]

fixed. it just jammed apparently

PS: i did ask courier if we could make a separate forum thread, they gave a no so i guess there's nothing to be done

[night lily]

next time it happens, climb up and break the cobbles in this pillar corner ( break from a few 3-4 blocks under first then the block next to the observer/piston last) then run as the tnt will go off shortly after

alternatively, if the sticky piston up there is exposed from whatever reason, please replace a block on it (you shouldnt be able to see the sticky part) before trying to unjam again

[unkempt yew]

You know, when I was watching youtube, I never thought the NyQuil chicken existed

It was all just random jumbled in my head until it really happened back then

I was unaware

[unkempt yew]

Finally, no typhoons

"Sir, a third typhoon hits the country." The weather caster reported.

what?

[night lily]

Stay safe

[unkempt yew]

worry not, it didn't flood the house like last time, only strong winds as it chase the rain around

[open matrix]

[open matrix]

big sad

[open matrix]

wow, time to try it, i only just joined ant the farm is already broken again

okay, no. i really dont get it, back to mining i go

[night lily]

That doesn't work?

[open matrix]

nope

could it be that the farm breaks whenever its not loaded?

[night lily]

Possible... Maybe i need to make an actual switch or something

[unkempt yew]

Man, how do you guys do redstones?

[open matrix]

[open matrix]

no clue either, thats all epochs

[unkempt yew]

All I know were architecture, wandering around and burning stuff

[night lily]

~~Brain meltingly ~~

Actually just copy a lot, although this one is kinda original (maybe that's why it breaks a lot lmao)

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

the world spawn chunks are always loaded if yall need to make a farm that yall dont want unloading

a 3 by 3 chunk radius?

[night lily]

It's now the spawn chunk + radius of 2 chunks I think

I think it broke because of the pulse shorting out the circuit tho, gonna try fixing that first

[trim tartan]

Checked chunk borders.

TNT was right on the end of a chunk border, it goes between when activated.

Worst part? One's loaded, the other isn't.

[night lily]

Dang it. I guess the observer is just outside the loaded chunk then

[limpid ore]

lookit me go

[spiral matrix]

Me when I wanna talk to an author on Ao3 lol

[meager moat]

Ah, that guy

[edgy scroll]

Simple answer: just show up and introduce yourself as the esteemed author of BTShell, a fic with over 270 kudos on AO3, and then explain that his art has caught your patronly attention

[meager moat]

"Hello fellow famous person"

[spiral matrix]

If it was me I'd DM them "yo your art is really cool"

They don't respond

[open matrix]

ah of course, hello fellow rain world enjoyer, it is i the author of bts hell, you know that sotry of course- wait, you dont!? `you heard nothing smoke bomb good bye inaudible screaming from embarrassment

[spiral matrix]

And I wonder what I coulda said differently and never open the DM again

[edgy scroll]

(Got the whole chat with that one )

[iron totem]

What if they have heard about BTS Hell, though?

[meager moat]

What if they're a huge fan/j

[open matrix]

then i will die of embarrassment regardless

[iron totem]

Not me >:3

[open matrix]

embarrassment once again

im not good with compliments

[iron totem]

BTS hell is good, though

No better time than the preset >:3

[iron totem]

That's so sweet

You are a good artist, though

[limpid ore]

this is two years old i think?

i didnt do many though because my phone broke and i couldnt remember my login for when i got a new phone

[spiral matrix]

Ain't wrong! If you didn't say I'd think that was in the game.

[limpid ore]

i think i spent three hours looking for downloadable crk fonts, the background things separated, ect

i dont rember where i found it, but i eventually found a google drive thing with every rarity color in separate transparent pngs

finding the font was hard tho because i was using ibispaintx on my phone

a bad month of being wroter

And also, last night-

[limpid ore]

[unkempt yew]

I have now reached the 2k word in the oneshot and it made me think more

[trim tartan]

It’s also been a while since I last wrote.

[edgy scroll]

Understandable. Now might be a good time to point out that tomorrow is International Talk Like A Pirate Day… not that I’m trying to imply anything much with that statement

[trim tartan]

However, I do have new writing.

Only a hundred words, I think?

[plucky zenith]

[unkempt yew]

The Swashbuckling Adventure

[trim tartan]

Might need more criticism.

It won’t be a very long editing session.

[plucky zenith]

I could probably get it done tomorrow

I'm really busy tonight

Aye, lad, ye should be doin those writin done

What does that mean???

-# probably entity cramming?

[trim tartan]

Yes.

Probably entity cramming.

But how?

[night lily]

Probably the villagers just multiply within the iron farm loaded chunks?

Speaking of loaded chunks, i believe the cobble farm is finally bug free @open matrix

my very original idea of a rooftop farm

never seen before!

(/j)

[open matrix]

imagining a farm in space is funny

[fringe anchor]

it just works (TM)

[sonic remnant]

Finally got the main subspecies of the Molting dragons named, but I'm just kind of concerned, normally ideas flow like the Nile, and yet they seem to be all clogged rn...

[fringe anchor]

or you just put it in a dome

[sonic remnant]

Lepidowyrm(s) are the current version, might change it later tho...

Maybe I should worry about the names later and just get the content started now?

Current updated names:

• Luxwyrms
• Lepidowyrms
• Karyopteri(singular Karyopterous)

[iron totem]

I like them

[sonic remnant]

Still need to rename:

• second separated of the Molting dragons
• Gravitwings
• Voidwings
• Radiowings
• Chemiwings
• Chernowings
• Florawings
• (probably another I forgot about]

[scenic escarp]

Superstructure farm arrays

¤Could happen but well, artificial environment in most cases.¤

[sonic remnant]

I think it worked, but not in the way I expected. I realized that I don't have to rename them all right now, since the ones I have are all the most common ones, I can just write using them and introduce the others later

So now I'm making new stuff and creating other species that would interact with the dragons and figuring out in what ways they do so

maybe... or perhaps there is something to be said of becoming a fearsome enough hunter that even a humble nickname like 'sticks' could be something to be respected?

the name makes the scav... but maybe the scav makes the name, as well

[lament blade]

All right folks, it's time for my random question of BS again!

The Twilight Zone...it's shown up a lot and often is regarded as a bad place to be

So what's the worst version of it? Right now I'm debating the show itself, Zelda with TP, and Superman having it also

when did you go to sleep?

you fell asleep while using your phone

well uh i cant be surprised

Yes

that happens to me too

except its with my tablet instead

Anyway how have you been?

[unkempt yew]

Workin biographies, a oneshot, and a fic

[sudden jackal]

More than 1 biography?

[unkempt yew]

Well, an autobiography of myself and my parent's biography

[night lily]

I read that at first as bibliography

[unkempt yew]

[lament blade]

While I intend to do writing today, new Rimworld colony and got a real confusing one this time.

Okay so I have my Dragoncat and Hoarder Scavenger colonists. They get together, have a kid, genetically very similar due to how I created the Xenotypes, yadda yadda yadda. I'm fine with those facts. What I'm confused about is why is the kid a "Baseliner" AKA a bog standard human? Not a "hybrid" but the unmodified, normally evolved, unaltered human

Right...so a kid from two fuzzy draconian parents having horns, a tail, fire breath, and a rodent head is a normal ass unaltered human now... IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE

Fickle creatures. I would rather trust a red lizard than those.

For reference, I do not trust red lizards one bit.

[iron totem]

True, they keep getting in the way

It's not my fault

they just so happened to be between you, your spear, and your target

[trim tartan]

Your target is about three picometers behind their skull.

[trim tartan]

How're you doing on that?

P-ranked anything yet?

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

"Fistful O' Coin".

[unkempt yew]

Is P-rank necessary for 2nd act?

[trim tartan]

I don't think so.

[unkempt yew]

[unkempt yew]

Well, ||is it to fight a prime?||

[iron totem]

Nope, did S rank a few levels, though :3

[iron totem]

P-rank is only necessary for ||the prime sanctums||

[trim tartan]

Oh, shit, you do know.

Try Gabe 2.

[iron totem]

Haven't gotten that far yet

[trim tartan]

I've heard Gabe 2's actually an easier fight than Gabe 1.

[iron totem]

P-rank is totally optional by the way

I'm too bad to P-rank

[trim tartan]

Right now.

That's what an acquaintance of mine said when they first did the Gabriel fights.

Are you on standard or above that?

[iron totem]

Standard

[trim tartan]

||They've P-ranked Minos Prime.||

On standard, obviously.

You'll get better over time.

[unkempt yew]

[iron totem]

It is

[unkempt yew]

I will charge his soul

[iron totem]

You will still get the full story without P-ranking

[trim tartan]

Well, not really the full story, but what's important, yes.

[unkempt yew]

I wanna fight a prime

[trim tartan]

I'm pretty sure you don't get told what ||Prime Souls|| are.

But really, not relevant to the story.

[iron totem]

I don't care about style, I play in the most dumb stylish way possible

[unkempt yew]

Idk what they do but what I do know is that blood is still blood

[trim tartan]

Have you tried punching your shotgun shots?

[iron totem]

Punch coin, rail canon into coin

Yes

[unkempt yew]

We can punch shotgun bullets

[trim tartan]

Yes.

Also, you can stack coins.

[unkempt yew]

Thank you, that one youtube review

[trim tartan]

Basically, throw coins into the air, use the Slab piercer, fire it.

Stacks the style.

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

Then, there's deadcoining.

[unkempt yew]

A headstart for future Anton

[trim tartan]

I don't know how one can pull it off.

But it's not very useful in a normal fight, only ever useful against bosses with monologue.

[simple mango]

like prime souls

ive never played ultrakill but ive browsed the wiki like once

[iron totem]

Ultrakill isn't really my kind of game but it's silly

If you like flashy, hectic stuff then you will probably like it

[trim tartan]

However, as you can see...

Deadcoin has style.

If you try everything you can... Behold. No cheats.

[simple mango]

...24,578 ultra ricoshots?

what

[simple mango]

WHAT

[trim tartan]

Not by me.

Took images off Google.

[simple mango]

ALMOST 13 MILLION RICOSHOTS

damn

[trim tartan]

But I assure you, deadcoins are ultra stylish.

If you Deadcoin to win ||Sisyphus Prime||'s fight, you have more than enough style than the entire game needs you for S rank.

[simple mango]

does deadcoining like instakill any enemy or smth

[trim tartan]

Hold on.

If you want to see it kill Sisyphus Prime, ||https://youtu.be/_PTWwer7PbU||'s for you.

[iron totem]

Okay, I looked up a deadcoin tutorial

This is really overpowered

[trim tartan]

Only against bosses with monologue.

There's a reason there's a category that forbids deadcoining.

[simple mango]

...

that's damage

that's some real damage alright
