I am a hermit to the max.

[knotty marsh]

[stiff perch]

[void tapir]

No

[stiff perch]

All my memes are southpark based ;-;

[knotty marsh]

[knotty marsh]

wait ur gon love this one.

gold on.

[knotty marsh]

for context my rendition of narinder is this fat alcoholic cranky man that eats birds and oomf drew him as the sp neckbeard

😭

[stiff perch]

Beautiful.

Elegance, grace, that fat neck all up in my face.

It has it all.

[knotty marsh]

damn depression makes it a b for me to get out from bed and so does back pain but idk if i could do w something like that

mad respects

[stiff perch]

That's just one symptom I experience XD I am 20 years old with like 5 doctors lol

[knotty marsh]

[stiff perch]

I just have one of those headaches right now which is making school and life generally hard. It starts right in the back on my neck near my brainstem and the pain radiates through my jaw, neck, and towards the top of my head. I feel like a cracked egg :DD

The only thing that seems to help is squeezing my head really hard which is...greeeaaatt

Taking pain meds takes the edge off of it, but the pressure of it still exists which is annoying. So, I'm rotting in my bed doing nothing because wah pain again.

[knotty marsh]

me with back pain

scoliosis is a bitch

[stiff perch]

I also get that. Lower back and in my hips lol

[knotty marsh]

i aint even try to take meds bc i have enough w my antidepressants and i don't want to kill my liver for a temporary effect bc my body will gain resistance

[stiff perch]

I made my bed the other day and it hurt like I was stabbed for like a week.

I just got off 3 separate courses of antibiotics. I take antihistamines daily, a multivitamin and a B12, a beta blocker, and multiple medications for nausea and stomach upset :)) every day.

I also take a prescribed pain med as needed, but I hate taking meds and avoid them generally if I can.

[knotty marsh]

😭 kind of reminds me of one friend i had that also took a whole cocktail daily

[knotty marsh]

truth nuke

i only take them when its a must

[stiff perch]

I only take them if I feel like I'll die if I don't lol

[knotty marsh]

(to think we were at each other's throats fifteen minutes ago god damn)

(i gotta learn how to stop being such a blunt b to half the people that disagree w me)

[stiff perch]

I need to learn not to explode on people expressing a similar thought to others whove been rude before.

It's all good. We learn and grow and move on. We apologized. It's all good. We can be sick buddies lol

[knotty marsh]

hey ngl would you mind if i shoot u a dm for a second

[stiff perch]

Back pain buddies lol

Feel free

[knotty marsh]

it's for something small

[stiff perch]

Is anyone else mildly bothered by yngya being naked

[stiff perch]

I sent you a howdee

[knotty marsh]

i wish she had wool

i am bothered by her vertical pupils

i always draw her with horizontal pupils.

[void tapir]

I want to say smth
But i feel like i'd be intruding

[tulip folio]

why does this specific post keep getting revived over and over

[knotty marsh]

ALWAYS.

[knotty marsh]

something something i argued with OP and now we're chill and chatting that's why

[void tapir]

Fuck it
I don't like the way this game handles it's difficulty
At all

[knotty marsh]

i only played it for like an hour

[void tapir]

Oh i ment cotl

[knotty marsh]

i cannot really give my grain of salt for it tip

rip

OH

lmaoooo

[void tapir]

I just thought the image was funny

[knotty marsh]

im 50/50 on it i have a huge gripe with the very hard mode

its so lazy

[knotty marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/eww-dude-gif-25103066

[tulip folio]

i still play it cuz it makes me feel superior but god is it a pain

[void tapir]

Extra hard literally just makes crusades take longer
That's it

[tulip folio]

heh

[knotty marsh]

SAME

[tulip folio]

GOD

[knotty marsh]

its the unfair kind of pain

NOT THE CUPHEAD EXPERT PAIN

[tulip folio]

get it? god? because you are a cult leader? HAHAHAH

[knotty marsh]

the "what the hell is this oh hell no man" kind of pain

[tulip folio]

i genuinely don't get why enemies get that much extra hp

[knotty marsh]

and makes the enemies tankier

[tulip folio]

it doesn't really make things harder it just makes it more tedious

[knotty marsh]

just that

its so unfair

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH.

[tulip folio]

make them faster, give them new attacks

[knotty marsh]

can you imagine if the extra hard mode did something that'd change gameplay by example both kits attacking you at the same time

[tulip folio]

hell, i actually wouldn't be against extra hp if it was a SMALL increase

[void tapir]

I know i glaze the shit out of ultrakill
But PLEASE
Massive monster devs
PLEASE take some notes on how ultrakill handles it's difficulty

[knotty marsh]

NEW PHASES WHAT NOT

but dude.

its so lazy

[tulip folio]

never played ultrakill, what does it do?

[knotty marsh]

"duhhhhh x1.5 more enemy hp and more rooms"

f outta hereE

no cause i wanna make a suggestion thread for this alone

[void tapir]

I'd recommend just looking at the ultrakill wiki and reading the changes
I'm too stupid to explain

[knotty marsh]

extra hard mode has NO incentives to it

[void tapir]

Please do

[knotty marsh]

it needs to take a page from cuphead's book i swear to god

[knotty marsh]

alas my brain can't do long long english atm im legitmiately braindead but i need to draft up a thread post

[void tapir]

I genuinely HATE the game design of "difficulty = make every enemy a nuke with 1000 hp"

Pisses me off to no end

[knotty marsh]

its not even difficulty it's simply "haha stat modifiers go"

how is that not lazy

[tulip folio]

tbh i don't mind the lower hp

it's lazy but i think it works enough

the rest though euuughhh

[knotty marsh]

maybe too harsh from me to say but that aint game design that is just a basic formula

[stiff perch]

I didn't notice her pupils.

Oh no, now that's gonna bug me too DX I just noticed her little naked body and felt so weird about it lol

[knotty marsh]

game design has thought put into it

[knotty marsh]

YEAH JUST GIVE HER WOOL.omg

"whoolly will never freeze" literally has no wool

[tulip folio]

actually i think tboi did it's hard mode really well, so well most players choose the hard mode over normal

[stiff perch]

It never died lol

[tulip folio]

or maybe they just did normal not very well idk

[void tapir]

Botw/totk have this problem too
But ATLEAST botw has master mode
And ATLEAST master mode had actual, noticeable changes other than jacking up enemy hp

[stiff perch]

I always play cotl on medium just because it seems like the most balanced gamemode for me.

[tulip folio]

i mean, that's the recommended difficulty
it makes sense it's the most balanced one

[stiff perch]

Pikmin spicy was my least favorite hard mode. It was not that hard compared to normal Pikmin and gave less of a challenge than my normal no death Pikmin runs

[void tapir]

Give me different bullet patterns! Give me increased enemy movement/attack speed!

SOMETHING other than what we have rn

[stiff perch]

Cuphead was great for that, if not a little evil.

[knotty marsh]

yeah but i wish this wasnt an excuse for the poor difficulty in higher modes

[tulip folio]

please don't increase scamp attack speed though...

[knotty marsh]

I LOVE CUPHEAD TOTAL TRUTH NUKE

[void tapir]

True
Kill 7 billion scamps

[stiff perch]

To brag a little: I beat cuphead all a+ on normal including the run and guns then went back and s/p ranked the whole game

[tulip folio]

damn, there's still a ton of bosses i haven't S-ranked yet

[void tapir]

ACTUALLY
GIVE ME MORE SHIELDED ENEMIES
WHY ARE SCAMPS THE ONLY BASE GAME ENEMY WITH A SHEILDED VARIENT

[tulip folio]

i did S rank chef saltbaker though and i'm actually quite proud of myself for that

[stiff perch]

I worked...so hard for that. It took so long. I also beat the kings gauntlet and it was all just pain lol

[knotty marsh]

I SRAKNED EVERYONE BUT SALTBAKER WILLY AND DJIMMI

[tulip folio]

WAIT THIS IS SO TRUE
WHY THE HELL DOES ONLY THE FAST ENEMY GET THE SHIELDS WHEN MOST HEAVY ATTACKS ARE SLOW AS FUCK

[knotty marsh]

mostly bc i run out of time for the later.

latter.

[knotty marsh]

OH MY GODDDDD TRUTH NUKE

https://tenor.com/view/true-truth-nuke-super-truth-nova-truth-meme-gif-16889273424352737553

[stiff perch]

My biggest issue was getting hit in the last second on djimmi

[knotty marsh]

dude i would accomplish all requirements but time

ALWAYS 10 SECONDS PAST

DONT PISS ME OFF

cuphead and its show was my jam before cotl

omg

[tulip folio]

y'all prob already know this but

NEVER use chalice for plane bosses

well maybe not never but

she kinda sucks

[knotty marsh]

yeah chalice plane sucks

[void tapir]

trying to hit a scamp with hammer's heavy is torture oh my god

[knotty marsh]

i hate her EX attacks in plane

[stiff perch]

I only spent 60 hours doing it lol

[knotty marsh]

divine relic outmogs her

chalice is overrated except for when ur tryna srank saltbaker

[void tapir]

And i say this as a HAMMER GLAZER

[stiff perch]

I beat it once, then beat it again, and then I stopped playing because it was so painful the first go around.

[knotty marsh]

brothteeeeer how.

[tulip folio]

chalice super art 2 my beloved

[knotty marsh]

i wish i knew how to.

[stiff perch]

Chalice is overrated, but the parry heart ring is sooooo good

[knotty marsh]

OH FAIR ENOUGH

[knotty marsh]

I USE IT ALL THE TIME.

[stiff perch]

I played a lot A LOT of old-school arcade games tbh

[tulip folio]

actually speaking of super arts

they kinda suck

you get more damage from EX attacks

[stiff perch]

The only super art I ever consistently use it chalices 2 super art. Otherwise I just use either the lobber ex or the rebound ex

The crackshot ex is also good with the parry ring

[tulip folio]

yeaaahh the other super arts just don't deal enough damage to justify using them

[stiff perch]

You can parry the little spinny planet for extra health

[stiff perch]

They are inconsistent most of the time as well

[tulip folio]

i'd say that's moreso the case for the 3rd super art, inconsistent but """strong"""
and they still get mogged by most EX shots

[stiff perch]

The only time I ever used super art 3 was in the fight with werner werman and the cat.

[knotty marsh]

pls tell me u used to watch a lotta videos on cuphead that shit was everything for me

[stiff perch]

I could get up under him and quickly turn left-right to keep it in place for good damage.

[stiff perch]

I still do tbh. I love a good full completion video or a challenge run

I also watched a lot on the design of the game itself because I just love art and animation.

Lately I've been on an animal crossing kick. My island needed some attention because it's still stuck in November of last year ;-;

[knotty marsh]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS.

[pulsar prawn]

People harassing Basilisk over this thread in dms are the biggest losers dog

Sorry you don't want your r/atheism mod to be a follower but that doesn't justify harassing the guy over it

That genuinely pisses me off, sorry you had to deal with that @stiff perch

[stiff perch]

Thank you, I appreciate the support :)) I totally get that people have a lot of big feelings about this, so I don't entirely blame folks, but id definitely prefer it not to happen anymore lol

[pulsar prawn]

Well no it's not justified at all, you shouldn't have had your view on the server or game be tinted in a way because bullies in this server that view the game in their eyes must mean everyone else has to see the game or interpret everything as they do

And given how much the devs love to throw around the term "Up to player interpretation!" The players no matter what should be able to play the game or suggest the game however the hell they want

[stiff perch]

It's not an excuse, just an explanation. One that I can understand and sympathize with. But, you are right. That doesn't mean it is justified.

Now though, I am honestly very tired and my head is hurting so I am probably just gonna take a little phone break and watch someone put together a cafe in animal crossing. I just wanted to thank you for your support before I took my rest.

Now I sleep.
Or lay in bed not using my brain. One of the two.

[pulsar prawn]

Alright, have a goodnight man

[stiff perch]

I laid in bed and took a Tylenol 3, which is already helping. Apparently medicine can be good lol

Edited* Marchosias Storyline Development

I edited the name of the thread so hopefully people don't jump in without reading content, and will likely go back and collect some of my core statements to either pin them or put them here at the front where people can see them.

[tulip folio]

I WILL KILL YOUUUUUUUUUUU /silly
we need more chosias storyline i agree

[stiff perch]

I'd love to have more storyline and development for him. I just went the simplest route in my head to fixing the problem I saw, which to me was making him a follower. It wouldn't require too many changes in my mind, and wouldve been the simplest fix. But, I can see how that bothers many people and am more than open to developing his story to be more fulfilling and give us more of an explanation.

It might be a minute before I go back, but I will make sure to do it so that any newcomers can check through pins and see what I've said without having to wade through cuphead talk and arguments over whether or not sozo is an ant or a mushroom lol

[tropic jolt]

Okay yeah the harassment is genuinely horrible and at this point the dead horse has been beaten so much it's just a pile of mush by now. I may not have agreed with him being a follower but this is a fucking video game at the end of the day. Why must people be shitty over a freaking video game?

[stiff perch]

whydopeoplekeepcallingmeahim?iamagirljustsoeveryoneknows

[silver sand]

Oop mb

[stiff perch]

All good, I'm just a little confused about what leads people to think I'm a dude lol is it how I talk? My name? My profile picture?

I am a girl and my name is Ellie :)) just for everybody in general lol. I'm not hurt or anything, just mildly confused lmao

[silver sand]

Yknow I’m not to sure why I do it I guess I js generally call everyone on the internet like dude/guy/bro or wtv but I’m not sure why

[tropic jolt]

I was referring to Marchosias when I said "him." However, this is good to know because I absolutely would've made that mistake. I don't know why I default to he/him instead of they/them when referring to someone whose pronouns I don't know and I don't have the habit of clicking on profiles to look at roles. Maybe it's just me being 31.

[stiff perch]

I misread lol I don't think I have it in my roles or anything either, I just was wondering if there was distinct reasoning behind it lol

[tropic jolt]

I do see "she/her" as one of your roles now that I check it.

[stiff perch]

Oh cool, I didn't realize. It doesn't truly bother me at all, I was just curious lol

[median furnace]

Yhea for me it was your profile picture.
But hello Ellie!

...
Maybe we could have Marchois as a "close" shop keeper?
By "close" I mean the worm that sells seeds(yhea sorry I don't remember his name)and Helob.
