[queen island]

Why are they making all these monsters so cute?

[stone olive]

According to multiple sources, Krafton has established a new team under Bluehole Studio’s R&D Division specifically to develop TERA 2. This group sits within the R&D Division overseen by CEO Cho Doo-in and will be led by veteran developer Kang Sang-wook, who is known internally as Bluehole’s “first employee” after the founding members.

Dont expect it for the next many years.

[copper remnant]

if i'm not mistaken krafton is getting into a lawsuit with subnautica 2

either they sabotaged the development to not have to pay some bonuses to the lead devs, or the lead devs scammed them

[stone olive]

Thats ongoing yeah

[stone olive]

Its the whole "Covid-era / SV Boom" buff thats falling off and some underhanded shit like abusing the H-1B1

Just industry shit

• The numbers must always go up for a certain few which will please them to continue their support

[copper remnant]

it's their 80 billion ai investment

[stone olive]

I dont mind investments into AI development, but the way some of this shit is done is so underhanded

Nevermind the whole Texas shitshow going on with the AI centers there slurping up all the water

[copper remnant]

today i had one stage of interview for a job

they wanted me to go into a video call with an ai

f them

[stone olive]

How does that even work...

Just counter their AI with your own model thats trained to undertake job interviews to troll them

[copper remnant]

it's like a phone call with a robot. but they get to keep my info

[copper remnant]

oh that's happening for sure

[stone olive]

I would literally just figure out a way to break that instead then for the funs

[meager kelp]

[stone olive]

Huh I was pretty sure I saw some people already play it... Maybe just the big streamers

Ah just the menu stuff.

[modest cipher]

I loved tera

Let's hope this time the communities better

Don't want to be kicked outta and rejected from parties due to being an archer

Even if I had best DPS in most pts

[neat breach]

The Silksong is real?

[iron cape]

We'll find out!

[thick coral]

SILKSONG?

[tiny quiver]

silksong???

[queen island]

silksng

silksng

[wise spire]

i kind of hope they just continue the trend of showing up in the background of shows

they were at nintendo direct, on the screen in the xbox thing, now they just need to be in the background of a ps state of play

[stone olive]

Gamescom will have a demo of Silksong

So in like 15 days someone will get to play it.

[modest dagger]

Idk man, I've reached the point Silksong comes out when it comes out

No more Hopium or Copium for me

[cobalt spade]

it exists when it exists

it doesnt exist if it doesnt exist

[sand shuttle]

Silksong realll

Silksong is AAAAA title

Not indie

[silver heath]

indie is a better title than calling a game AAA in 2025

[shell slate]

that lead to them posting about how they are making merch

and then i saw something else as im looking

ok i kinda feel bad posting this now cause i see somethign but im in too deep

Such a good game that'll never get the love it deserves

Running into a random dude in a leveling zone begging him for food because you ran out and your Hunter Pet is hungry is peak MMO

[cobalt spade]

LMAO

bro is in zen mode

this looks interesting

the entire yt chat is just begging for silksong or just haters

[modest cipher]

This isn't a jab of any of the games

Some of em look fun

Genuinely sad tho lol

[waxen dock]

usual chat behavior

[modest cipher]

Just ports, an update, and a game releasing everywhere

Rat Zelda was peak so far

[cobalt spade]

the nightmare life sim looked pretty good too

[waxen dock]

these ports are nice for me cuz my computer is starting to die on me lately

[wise spire]

every games direct is an instant close chat angle. if somehting isnt a huge announcement the whole chat is always so negative

[modest cipher]

Lol dude in business casual as 2 traditional getup people sit next to them

[waxen dock]

or smash

🤣

[cobalt spade]

is this like

a penguin

[modest cipher]

Shark that mutates

Iirc

[cobalt spade]

"before we go"

KEK

theyre put silksong in a montage

that would be funny

[modest cipher]

That looks like don't starve

Woah wtf

Opus peak

[cobalt spade]

HONSE

[waxen dock]

oooh

[modest cipher]

I wanna piggy back a cute girl

[cobalt spade]

thats it

LMAO

silksong not real

[waxen dock]

well that was fast lol

[modest cipher]

My impression of the switch 2 is worse coming out of this than in

[wise spire]

yeha it makes sense

[cobalt spade]

well

[wise spire]

there was a chance itd be here, but now that microsoft locked down "silksong is coming the same day as our new handheld" they're absolutely going to be the ones wiht further news

[waxen dock]

i feel like people put their expectations for this waaaaay too high

[cobalt spade]

the showcase started off with the best thing

and thats it

[modest cipher]

True

[cobalt spade]

[waxen dock]

mina and neverland were my highlights honestly

[wise spire]

idk i thought it was a good direct

[cobalt spade]

mina and neverland yea

[wise spire]

a lot of varied 3rd party indies

[cobalt spade]

at least it wasnt hello kitty games and what not

[waxen dock]

the indie stuff was good overall. just not all of it is my cup of tea

[cobalt spade]

[wise spire]

if that gives you a negative impression of the s2 i have to say, it seems lmore like an issue of perspective

[waxen dock]

and also not look at chat 🤣

[cobalt spade]

chat is just funny to look at imo

because i just cant believe that people are actually typing like that on the internet

[wise spire]

yeah chat in all of these events are just actual children that only care about the one thing they want to see

[cobalt spade]

its like that one summer games showcase strim, i forgot which one, where it was a bunch of random games and then the chat suddenly popped off for that 1 random battle royale game

it was so weird but also so funny

[modest cipher]

Really?

I woulda expected that to set off chat negatively nowadays lol

People actually want to see another battle royale?

[sand shuttle]

Best not to look at chat for any gaming showcase lol

no one hates games more than those ppl

[wise spire]

exactly

gaming's biggest opps is its gamers

[modest dagger]

I turn off the chat for these things

Cause man it's just kids or man-childs complaining

[wise spire]

100%

[modest cipher]

I don't really see a reason to glance or use chat when it's filled with so many and going so fast you can't be expected to read

[wise spire]

in big streams the chat isnt prose, it's a mood gauge

[modest cipher]

One thing if you're like spamming emotes on a vtuber for vibes

[modest dagger]

Yeah, but even with a glance you can see the negativity

[wise spire]

in streams with more than 1-2k viewers, the chat isnt to be read, it's just there as a blob of emotions and hype to support the stream

[worthy ridge]

sad part is, i can tell without even opening chat when people are ranting based on whats currently on or the overall mood of the internub at the time

[modest dagger]

The internet is predictable

[worthy ridge]

too predictable

[modest cipher]

What was the name of rat Zelda btw

[wise spire]

people are predictable

[modest cipher]

Trying to find more info

But rat Zelda is ingrained in my head as the name now

I'll take any Zelda over botw/totk

As good as those games are they're no Zelda replacement

the old formulas are nice

i love 2d zelda, but barely touched any 3d ones. i always get bored fast and bounce off

[thick coral]

[thick coral]

LOL

whenever ure free

[shell slate]

I'm lowish energy but tomorrows sunday so

[thick coral]

[shell slate]

You are the one with the busy schedule

comparitively

[thick coral]

[shell slate]

my time its just afternoon/night

[shell slate]

also u say this but im just

atm

[copper remnant]

SOMEONE SAY TICTAC OJRE?

[copper remnant]

can i join

[copper remnant]

@thick coral the ninja spell i mentioned, it's these ones with some orbs. the second one is the spell you use to debuff enemies, ninja has lots of it, and the third is an example of dart. i think you gotta craft it.

i think main character is by default tankier, you can also put vit cards/ vit charms on him and go gigachad double strike, the build i'm showing is for a support character, not main guy

it will work out

[livid elbow]

damnn i missed keld's stream

[sand shuttle]

@cobalt spade really need u to watch new tbhx ep, like really really

[cobalt spade]

soon ™

gonna finish up this stupid math tutorial first

[sand shuttle]

[modest cipher]

Aren't their league fans in here

I hear riot used AI for the recent big trailer or something

Yasuo got three arms and everything looks bad apparently

[cobalt spade]

uhhhhhhhhhh

definitely not the main game

might be their mobile game instead

[modest cipher]

Found a post of the full trailer

https://youtu.be/4SqSm7kCTKE?si=Y_UFkkI6tONW5uzK

It's for whatever wild rift is

Even got AI music lol

Apparently due to the circumstances, it had to be approved before being posted since it was on an official outlet

Riot even came out and said they posted it themselves, not tencent

[livid elbow]

this is not even the worst they have done recently

[queen island]

it's such a great decision to make an AI video when you already have the greatest animation studio in the world

[livid elbow]

they greenlighted gambling recently

[queen island]

absolutely genius idea

[modest cipher]

Ehhhh

[unkempt verge]

Whaddya mean its perfect they're an indie company they gotta use AI trash to save money

[modest cipher]

Riot already did soft gambling before

I'd say fully embracing shitty not even QAd AI that very clearly uses a model trained of art from the internet and other companies and artists work

Is a bit worse

[livid elbow]

soft gambling as in letting in gambling ads?

[modest cipher]

Soft gambling as in what Ubisoft would call surprise mechanics

[livid elbow]

lootboxes aint that bad compared to the sports gambling equivalent of gaming

[modest cipher]

I'm saying this as a fan of the gacha system in games when implemented right to drive an economy, and f2p gacha games where you get jpegs

[livid elbow]

incase if anyone hasnt seen it

[modest cipher]

But gacha is honestly worse than gambling

Gambling at least has actual value tied to it

Gacha is essentially you throwing money at nothing

[livid elbow]

gambling can be rigged too and causes match fixing (happens in all sports btw) which hurts integrity

also its addictive

[modest cipher]

So is gacha and loot boxes

[unkempt verge]

Not to sound cold but gambling's only an issue if you don't have self-control

I'm juss saiyan

[queen island]

it's not

it's very easy to become addicted to it

they constantly shower you with bonuses, "special" cashbacks and etc

[livid elbow]

you can totally hire a psychologist to squeeze out every ounce of dopamine in your brain with gambling btw

[queen island]

so you keep paying and playing

[unkempt verge]

Okay? So stop when your free stuff runs out

[livid elbow]

gambling isnt free....

[queen island]

^

[unkempt verge]

Okay fair

Set a limit and when you hit that

STOP

[queen island]

it's very easy to just say "stop", but in reality it's very hard

[livid elbow]

there is a reason why this copy pasta is popular

[queen island]

if anything could be solved with just "ok i stop", we wouldn't have drug addicts, alcoholics, etc

[modest cipher]

Yea and this is literally done in all these gaming companies for loot boxes gacha and microtransactions lol

Just cause you like gacha/lootboxes doesn't mean you can ignore it is literally gambling and inherently comes with the same issues

The bigger issue in that announcement is the infantilism they treat their audience with

But that's normal corpospeak nowadays

Riot specifically even does the same thing casinos do

You don't gamble with money

You gamble with fake points you swap with money so it's not obvious how much you're spending

[queen island]

if the gambling operators, casinos and lotteries didn't prey on the weak and poor, they would actually require you to confirm how much money you make when you register and limit your spending based on that. But they don't do that, because they know that majority of people is easily manipulated into paying every last bit of money they have left

and into getting into debts as well

[modest cipher]

Flashy opening animations on the lootboxes

Jackpot hits with bigger animations

Hiding away rates

[livid elbow]

not supporting lootboxes btw i also hate lootboxes with a passion but i just cant lump them in because if i speak to my representatives to get online gambling banned lootboxes will be a pretty weak topic where corpo can just snake away

which they have done so

[modest cipher]

Who cares about what the government thinks

They're powered by lobbyists and corporations

Nothing will change regardless

But at the core I'm just saying you really can't act like they're any different ethically and morally

Government lets you get away by calling them surprise mechanics instead of lootboxes.

Even in China lootboxes are illegal. Just everyone stopped calling them that to get around it lol

[livid elbow]

exactly they just snake away from it which many have given up addressing it

[modest cipher]

How would you address it

[livid elbow]

educating the general public thats the only way for now

[modest cipher]

Government ain't gonna do shit. Even the save the children excuse won't work because it gets in the way of money

[unkempt verge]

HEAVY taxation and vague terminology that way its almost impossible to avoid

[modest cipher]

You'd have to find a way to convince them banning lootboxes would make them money

Then they'll jump on it using the children as an excuse

I guess I'm getting really close to ranting about politics so I'll stop here lol

[unkempt verge]

I'll simply say and I'll spoiler tag it just in case but that'll be it

||Prohibition didn't stop alcohol||

That way it can be nuked if someone sees it and think that's too much

[shell slate]

i didnt read alot of this but

csgo has alot of sus sites and gambling sites

ALOT

[livid elbow]

csgo lounge the good ol days

[modest cipher]

So does roblox

[livid elbow]

who knew they would be so huge to the point they can sponsor a professional team

[modest cipher]

Infact roblox.com is the biggest one

[queen island]

roblox is like

"baby's first microtransaction"

[final lake]

gambling has always been a thing in esports for ages, especially in every riot game. i don't partake in it but I do have some friends who do so. I'm not sure how to feel about riot officially supporting it but esports is NOT a profitable business venture so they kinda want all the money they want rn LOL

as someone who watches a LOT of esports like league and valorant, this isn't all that surprising to me lol.

[queen island]

as someone who's been addicted to gambling in the past, i can say that a lot of games are rigged

a lot, in like, more than half

analysing the statistics to get the most probable result will not give you the result you want in a lot of cases, no matter how good you are at it

[final lake]

you know what they say, you can only lose 100% of the money by losing but you can gain 2000% of your money by winning

[unkempt verge]

QUIT ENABLING

[queen island]

[livid elbow]

yeap but its never been official i guess it is now for riot

[final lake]

yep lol

[queen island]

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-gif-12654501364171447161
Riot in the next couple months

[final lake]

i understand the decision, but ehh ethics kinda got thrown out of the window by riot when they accepted the Saudi deal with ewc LMAO

[queen island]

so they didn't throw ethics out of the window when they introduced 200$ arenas for TFT and what was it, 1000$ (?) sking with a Faker name on it?

[livid elbow]

also isnt the point of esport a marketing campaign to show its competitive so its relevant i imagine PvP games like TF2 and Smite not being popular since it doesnt have an esport scene for marketing

[unkempt verge]

See this all makes sense they changed their chat policy and cracked down on people saying slurs to get more people who would be turned off from such language from continuing to play and ergo they gamba

[final lake]

I mean that too yea LOL

[queen island]

i mean, the bunny arena is cute as fuck

but i'm not giving 200 bucks for that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLSvmAy0OKg

[unkempt verge]

The fuck

200?

Really?

[queen island]

it's gacha, but 200 dollars is pity basically

[unkempt verge]

Is riot paying the wages of their employees or do they expect me to what the fuck

[queen island]

you could get it faster

but rates are fucking worse than any gacha game

the worst part about riot microtransaction isn't even the prices

but the fact that everything is fucking limited

so you can only get it in the limited time

and then it's gone forever

[livid elbow]

man they are making a killing off a mod from dota2

[queen island]

i mean, dota is a mod itself

dota was a mod to W3

[unkempt verge]

and lived longer then the remaster for it too

[livid elbow]

how the turn tables

[modest cipher]

Y'all are missing the point of the new sports betting

Now riot will have more money for the AI trailers lol

[livid elbow]

the main audience for it is in china but i cant read comments from bilibili how do they feel

[unkempt verge]

They'll have money ANYWAY its cheap as shit and looks like shit

[modest cipher]

They're pissed as well

Because it's not even QAd

There's moments where they got three hands

Nothing looks good

The singing and voices are horrid

[queen island]

i'm actually really sad about them going to AI video making, like, making videos was the one thing Riot was absolutely amazing at

[modest cipher]

Jynxes guns swap forms like 10 times

[queen island]

and no we're gonna get AI trash

[livid elbow]

do they finally get the fingers correct?

[modest cipher]

At one point her pistol becomes a flame throwing glock

No

The hands merge together

[queen island]

[modest cipher]

Into a 20 finger abomination

There's ghosts in the background

[queen island]

you tell all that, but...was it cheaper than hiring professional animators?

[modest cipher]

Characters change races while on screen

[queen island]

yes it was

[livid elbow]

the clankers always cant get the fingers and ear right

[queen island]

and that's all that matters to business decision guys

[modest cipher]

Gotta give it props to the AI, it's so race blind it can't remember it between frames

[livid elbow]

the ai generated music depresses me more ngl its always the hardest to tell and it's rampant on youtube

[modest cipher]

There's also a couple scenes where the faces just become hyper realistic lol

Also the arena changes it's design completely inbetween shots

Should I keep going lol

[modest cipher]

I blame big non-indie music becoming so formulaic

[queen island]

hyper realism is the most consistent AI trait, they all eventually come to that. Because people who use AI, unironically think that the peak of art is hyper realism

[modest cipher]

It's literally math and science nowadays

[queen island]

so AI kinda flows to it

[modest cipher]

It's less due to that and more just an issue of how AI works and is trained

[unkempt verge]

Last time I checked realism does not mean humans got 3 fingers hooked together like they're webbed

[modest cipher]

There's more realistic sources of images

Than not

All AI does is squint at static

And try to make out pictures it's previously seen

[cobalt spade]

Yea the fact that theyre doing this is a telltale sign that their esports scene needs some help

[modest cipher]

It doesn't know what a finger even is

[queen island]

esports in general isn't very profitable

aside of The International, most tournaments are very small scale

[livid elbow]

yeah its supposed to be inserted as a marketing expense to promote the game

[final lake]

iirc the only esports team that's actually profitable is T1 and that's cause of everything else they're doing outside of esports and faker LOL

[cobalt spade]

Also lol esports is completely ran by t1 and faker

[final lake]

well he resigned for 4 years so it'll survive for another 4 years

[cobalt spade]

No t1 at tourney = viewership drops

[queen island]

they can always make another skin with his signature

and sell it for 5000 dollars

[modest cipher]

Can't wait for all that money faker made by selling himself out (I don't blame him) to go towards AI skins

[final lake]

i don't think it'll be that bad if he retires but viewership will def drop

[cobalt spade]

Its ok we have his son

The killable demon king poby

[final lake]

i think T1 has other players that have built their own fanbase

[final lake]

🐐

[cobalt spade]

We dont talk abt other player fanbase

Because they lost to geng the other day

And guma got fucking trucked

[final lake]

LMAOO

[livid elbow]

how long has that T1 dynasty has been? (i dont watch lol esport much)

[cobalt spade]

By t1 fans

Well they have 4 world trophies, they just won a back to back

And everytime they make worlds

They always make top4

[livid elbow]

4 championship aint that bad imo

[final lake]

uh 2013-2017 they were the strongest team in the world, 2018 they were cooked, 2019 - 2022 they were great but always fell short at the end. and 2023-2024 they won back to back

they have 5 lol

not 4

[cobalt spade]

Im on mobile

My fingers are fat

Let me live

[final lake]

LOL

[cobalt spade]

But yes 5 trophies out of 13

Season 1 doesnt count

[final lake]

LMAOOO

yo let EU live

[cobalt spade]

They have a skin

Good enough

[livid elbow]

yeah 5 gotta be kinda stale

need some underdogs

[cobalt spade]

Thats Drx 2022

[livid elbow]

i guess everyone is an underdog at this point

[cobalt spade]

It was the best worlds series

Hype, viewership, and everytjing wise

They reverse swept t1

And made the greatest underdog run ever

[final lake]

the thing with T1 is that they're ALWAYS the underdogs for some reason when they come into worlds in recent years

[cobalt spade]

From mid tier in regionals

[final lake]

they're simultaneously the underdogs and the favourites

I don't get it LMAOO

this team is an anomaly

[cobalt spade]

Ye coz their form prior to worlds is dog water HAHA

But then they realize they play for a world title and they just lock in

[final lake]

for context, there's only one player in the world who has more than one worlds trophy (2) that hasn't played on T1 lmao, faker has 5

[modest cipher]

Imagine if fakers next match he lost

The sheer riots from accused rigging

[cobalt spade]

They just lost a day ago

Anf they got trucked

[final lake]

well Korean fans are fucking ravenous

[livid elbow]

100% will happen and those gamba addicts will threaten his life in dms

[cobalt spade]

Trucked = they send trucks to t1 hq with messages on it

[final lake]

because T1 has built their players as essentially kpop idols

[cobalt spade]

And the messages are

[final lake]

their fans are legit crazy

[cobalt spade]

Not the nice kind

[final lake]

and unhinged

[cobalt spade]

[final lake]

so if they even lose once it gets pretty gross sometimes

[modest cipher]

Truck kun hasn't been issekaing people much lately

Needed a side hustle

[cobalt spade]

Bro you need to see guma keria oner faker singing
And then doran singing at a karaoke
LMFAO

[livid elbow]

luckily in dota we hate corpo esports team for the most part like team liquid with a passion

[final lake]

i always thought it was pretty ironic and very lucky that the face of league esports (and league in general ig) is a generally very nice humble guy, when the game itself and it's community is notorious for being so toxic LOL

[cobalt spade]

He is super pr trained

No ragebait, no taunts, no bad intentions

Just

[livid elbow]

fps games will never have poster boy for a good reason

[final lake]

LOL

[cobalt spade]

But yea its a shame that internationals are completely ran by T1 or the top kr teams in general

[final lake]

who is the face of csgo, the first person I can think of is like s1mple ig

[cobalt spade]

But the way they play league vs the rest of the world

Is just disgusting

[livid elbow]

used to be shroud

[final lake]

s1mple is pretty chill from what I've heard

[cobalt spade]

And a pleasure to watch

[livid elbow]

shroud is the coolest one to be fair

[cobalt spade]

T1 vs geng twice at msi mustve helped the viewership so much

Both went to 5 games too

It was fucking cinema

[final lake]

tenz is also pretty cool and he's the face of valorant so it's not all bad

[cobalt spade]

Also alex you ready for school

[final lake]

no

LOL

[cobalt spade]

[final lake]

i finish all my classes on Tuesday after 10am

I have the entire day to watch lectures

[cobalt spade]

I finished my week 1 materials for my core modules

[final lake]

damn bro already grinding

i haven't touched shit yet

just gonna wing it on first week and see what I gotta do

[cobalt spade]

Thats how i kept up with study and games in poly

I was always 1 week ahead

So i have a week buffer to like do what i want

[final lake]

are u taking physics

[cobalt spade]

Nope no phy in CS

[final lake]

damn it

[cobalt spade]

[final lake]

apparently physics is hard asf and it's even worse for me cause I have no physics background

[cobalt spade]

[final lake]

I'm cooked

my first lesson is ethics

[cobalt spade]

I think same?

[final lake]

cc0003

[cobalt spade]

Ye

Likely diff tutorial grps tho

[final lake]

ye mines at 1030

[cobalt spade]

Mine is at 230-430pm

[final lake]

wtf ur day starts at 2.30

[cobalt spade]

Yes

[final lake]

??? what the helly

[cobalt spade]

Morning online lectures at 830am

But its whatever

I just go in and honse while listening

[final lake]

i wish I lived closer :(((

[cobalt spade]

I too live like more than an hour away

[wise spire]

setting morning lectures at 8:30 am should come with a mandatory jail sentence

[noble falcon]

Could be worse

[cobalt spade]

Lectures are all online though. no biggie for me

[wise spire]

could it? idk if anywheres even open to start classes earlier than that?

yeeeeah true, but sitll! must be so rough having to focus and learn at 8:30

[cobalt spade]

Thats why i study ahead, and use lectures to reinforce what i dont know instead

Thats what i mostly did in my previous school (especially during covid)

[noble falcon]

i hope it causes more issues ngl

if kernal level anticheat remains active in riot titles i wont be able to play 2xko

[stone olive]

Funny thing is, these kernel level anticheats doesnt do anything, people will bypass it and it only costs around $10 to do so if wished for.

BF6 even had cheaters day 1

So it only hurts the average consumer in the end of the day by adding bloat

[cobalt spade]

@sand shuttle Gonna watch tbhx now, also realized i didnt say anything about last episode either so quick one before i watch.
|| mickey is so fucking sus its unreal. I kinda dont know if we are suppose to know who the half body guy in the tube is suppose to be, but former mighty glory CEO being there is sus too. Also, i never occured to me that the space ship crash where sheng found big johnny was the same place that the papa luoli and the gang are going to lol. Lastly, yea seems like the hunch was right. Lil johnny went into the forest, started remembering his past, saw the cuts on the trees, and had intense ptsd.||

going in now

[sand shuttle]

I'm pretty sure you did say something about last Ep?

Or maybe not

Lmao

[cobalt spade]

I dont think i did

Ok i need to interupt the episode to say this

|| NUONUO AND GHOSTBLADE INTERACTION ||

Tbhx19 || HOLY SHIT WHAT IS ESOUL DOING HERE ||

[cobalt spade]

|| NICE!?!?!?! ||

FUCK THATS IT?

I HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK NOW?

[queen island]

[cobalt spade]

@sand shuttle tbhx 19 thoughts
|| GHOSTBLADE THE MAN YOU ARE. SO MANLY. That sequence with esoul is so good. You can tell he is at a disadvantage because esoul is clearly a bad matchup for him. Lightning/electricity that can mess with reaction, and a metal armor that isnt good for his knifes. But god you can see the difference combat experience where ghostblade is more quick, precise and efficient with his movements. At first i thought Papa saw an alien, but fuck it was Nice!?!?!? And he is there to kill them all. BUT LOLI SAVES THE DAY HELL YEAH. DONT TOUCH MY DAD AND GIRLFRIEND!!! So im guessing theres like a behind the scenes company war right now. Rock ordered Ghostblade to kill Lil Johnny but it seems lile he realizes Ghostblade also withheld information from sheng's assassination? Doesnt trust him to kill lil johnny anymore so he got e-soul to fuck them both up? Im guessing Rock also wants the alien pet, hence why esoul was trapping him first. But what about Nice??? He isnt even part of mighty glory, he is under Treeman??? My guess is that the prev episode we saw treeman ceo possibly at the spaceship maybe experimenting, and he didnt want his shit to be discoveted so he gave Nice an execution order of the survey group.||

Holy theres so much to unpack here idk

|| also finally get to see some OG Nice action. We finally get to see how he really was like. Loli vs Nice, Ghostblade vs ESoul, and we dont even know what queen/cyan are up to as well.||

[sand shuttle]

Oops hi

Lemme read

[cobalt spade]

||Im also also also very fucking worried for nuonuo and papa luoli. I feel like theres so much death flags...... the vegetable cutting scene, the kiss on the cheek... and for papa, he just looks like he is ready to die man. Its so fucked. We've been marinated.||

[sand shuttle]

Tell me that wasn't hype as fuck when ||e soul shows up and then og nice||

||OG nice I have a feeling we will find out from this event what exactly made nice unalive himself||

To Be Hero X Ep 19 - ||I cried, just fucking cinema so hype everything is perfect in this. I feel bad for Johnny, Ghostblade really was gonna kill him because it was the mission given to him, he failed 17 years ago to fully complete the mission so now this alien spaceship mission was the perfect time to off him without anyone being sus. Its all cooporation shenannigans going on here, Rock sent Ghostblade to kill the Johnny's but he felt something was off so he sent E-Soul to kill Ghostblade too. So the E-Soul is the new one we know, but the Nice is the OG Nice not the new one. We will probably find out why the OG Nice decided to kill himself from this event which is occuring, which if we do that is an insane connection which deserves my utmost appreciation. Also Little Johnny is definitely connecting the dots with Ghostblade, he is close to finding out he was the one who killed his dad. Im surprised big johnny didnt turn into the monster after the forest scene, ig itll happen soon, since queen and cyan are still on their way currently. Everything coming together is so cinema, FUCK THIS IS PEAK||

That was my thoughts

[cobalt spade]

The story is getting very convoluted i love it

We are in for a banger next sunday

And possibly depression....

|| please dont hurt best girl nuonuo 😭 ||

|| theres like no organization that i think i even want to trust now man. Theyre all evil corpos ||

[sand shuttle]

||Yeah they're all corrupt af lol||
