It’s okay in PVP but nothing to brag about imo. Not worth allocating over 60 levels into just INT if you’re doing lvl 100-150 PVP

[tidal raven]

Ofc its not the best pvp spell but considering half of the pvp base have a tyler1 headphone dent
Way too many peoplw refuse to dodge the 2nd aoe (or level vigor) and just die for it

I think I have one too somewhere

I dont really use Nikanas much, but I know they can be pretty good

[elder wave]

I can see the colors

[grand maple]

i like em cause i'm a fuckin sword nerd and am heavily fascinated by them

i swear my brain's like goddamn playdoh, the second i find something i like it permanently alters my brain to some extent

My friends after I explain how a family tree started with a single person:

[stark basin]

Nikanas are cool and all but the reverse grip stance pisses me off

[tidal raven]

I dont like the derpy swings

Ik you gotta have ones that are quick and you can move with but like
On some stances the one handed swings are super silly looking

[stark basin]

Asoka Tano and Elden Ring are the only times reverse grip has EVER a looked good

[oblique radish]

I use that stance a lot, but it doesnt mean I like it, its just that while the other stances look and feel much nicer, I just feel like my DPS is worse with them somehow

[stark basin]

It's also the polarity for a lot of them innately

[oblique radish]

also the idle nikana stance changing when you have the reverse grip is cool.
IF THE DARN ANIMATION WAS COOL AT ALL

its some weird nikana pondering ass animation for blind justice. eugh

I like that single quick draw idle

[tidal raven]

Tbh my swordtism may be why I avoid non heavy melees in warframe period

[oblique radish]

yeah, generally I like using heavy builds because they're fun for big damage, but I actually play melee's in a kinda strange way

I kinda dont stack that much attack speed purely because I cant look at the animations

which would lose DPS, and uh, it does a bit, but I really hate how at the "good" attack speeds all of the melee attacks are just a blur of.. something

[tidal raven]

"I actually play melees in a straneg way"

You cant say that to the ghoulsaw user

[static laurel]

I read reverse grip and I almost threw up

Use swords like a normal person ye bastards

[tidal raven]

I cant be mad at the Ghoulsaw cause Circular Saw martial arts dont exsist

Yet

[bitter granite]

Reverse grip the most ineffective way to hold any and all weapons

[tidal raven]

They do and just flail them around like pool noodles
I mean
I know why its just a bit unsatisfying looking

[bitter granite]

I have reverse grip on my bows

[static laurel]

[bitter granite]

No

If any of you feel like torturing yourselves for a while, try using a bow to kill all bosses in the Elden ring. It's a harrowing experience.

[tidal raven]

Haha haha
No!

I mean
Is loretta's not a bow

[static laurel]

Does not count

[tidal raven]

Damn

[oblique radish]

its too intelligent to count as a bow

[static laurel]

Next time in Dust torturing himself for no particular reason, we'll be doing the same thing but with a whip.

[tidal raven]

Okay but

Whips are more of a PVP thing

[bitter granite]

@tidal raven should I get funny

[tidal raven]

YES

I love Worldsoul speaker

[bitter granite]

Want to make my third energy deck and decided I should do something that isn’t Jeskai or Temur

Worldsoul speaker is the only energy commander not in those colors

Well the main ones are in those colors

[bitter granite]

UNLESS

Energy has a lot of etb triggers

[tidal raven]

Could work-
True, esp with blue
Im not super up to speed on energy cards

I see black green and neuron activate but you could do something silly here

[bitter granite]

Energy is mainly in jeskai colors

Green and black is rare but with the precon last year added a lot of fun cards to green energy

Black energy is still lacking

[tidal raven]

Behold
Solar energy deck

[bitter granite]

But would say their best cards imo are in green, blue, white

I don’t personally like the red cards so taking that as you will

Or I can get weird with it

The face commander would be perfect if SHE COULD MAKE ENERGY HERSELF LIKE ALL OTHER ENERGY CARDS

But noooooo, they had to limit her, give power ability that needs energy and do not give the chance to make energy

[tidal raven]

I kinda dig it
But thats very old design it kinda blows in current magic

[bitter granite]

But when she works you win cause she can make a token copy of any permanent and make it a 5/5

I made a lot of token copies of doubling season

And had a lot of extra combats

[neat sleet]

Chat, are prime relics a gacha mechanic?

[oblique radish]

yeah, gambling

you gamble if you can get a lot of void traces per drop so you can increase your odds faster.
you gamble to get the rare drop
you gamble to get a rad share group

you gamble that a host migration doesnt occur

I wanna be good at the golden fleece but the amount of jank that always catches me off guard whenever i use it is insane

Silk Cradle in particular is golden fleece hell because of the fireball line traps that may or may not be placed directly in front of you as you enter a room

[tidal raven]

We got to Godfrey
Didnt beat him but he may have actually beat the shit out of me irl I feel kinda terrible rn

New favorite boss tho
Weirdly feels like a nightreign boss, he's harder to fight when not directly breathing down your neck

Not met a zone check boss tho

why is seluvis' quest the hardest shit ever?
Not by any actual difficulty it is SO EASY to break and lock yourself out of SOME reward

It took me 3 seperate goes to get the damn magic scorpion charm

[static laurel]

I sometimes just forget to do it, mainly because I forget about the existence of Seluvis.

Or like the gold-mask stuff, I simply cannot be bothered to give a fuck.

[fringe trout]

a 298 mods load order as my return to xbox Skyrim might be a bit ambitious, but, i can still hope

[fringe trout]

2 crashes, 1.04gb left, only about halfway through installing the mod list

if i ever have the guts to fucking get rid of this if it actually works after i’m done, i am just gonna make my own and have it be much shorter

[stark basin]

chat im playing ds2 again

its terminal

[fringe trout]

gave up on skyrim for persona 3

Is roboquest good?

Like if you had to rate it

[frank pilot]

it is absolutely amazing

probably the most underrated roguelike

[olive flame]

Looking eyes emoji

[frank pilot]

i recommend

but u should wait for a sale

it was like 40% off not too long ago

[olive flame]

Ill be getting it via the Playstation store so ill see if its on sale there every now and then

[frank pilot]

its a very difficult game tho im warning u

and its not gonna get updates anymore

[olive flame]

The fuck that game has a vr version??? 😭

[frank pilot]

yes

[olive flame]

Thats alright I love my roguelikes difficult :)

[frank pilot]

its sick asf but i think its hard as hell

[frank pilot]

roboquest is on another level

[olive flame]

Like atomicrops god I love atomicrops

We'll see about that

[frank pilot]

it has an eclipse like difficulty thing

but its shared with all characters

[distant delta]

Totally deserved. Atleast I got a good amount of progress.

[willow relic]

split

[fringe trout]

I must be slow as shit to have totally missed this every single time

I went out there every time before with no minigun and no power armor and mag dumped the deathclaw from inside a store for like 3 minutes

[fringe trout]

i downloaded 298 skyrim mods in one night and deleted them all the morning after
this is actually the real gameplay of skyrim honestly

If i can just discover good mods or small mod sets from old skyrim posts then i’ll just add them to my own self made mod list but otherwise i ain’t ever trying anyone else’s ever again

[bitter granite]

@tidal raven is 50 mana rocks too many?

[tidal raven]

No its not nearly enough

[lilac inlet]

bruh it's part of the quest how do you miss it 😭

[fringe trout]

same way as the laser musket at the front fucking door i guess

[lilac inlet]

the method is also to get to the roof before you even fight the raiders

[fringe trout]

oh really

[lilac inlet]

yeah you just kinda

[fringe trout]

i always come up behind them and just start shooting

[lilac inlet]

pull up in t45 inside the building

cuz you can get the power armor before all that

and theres early fusion cores scattered around so you have a ton of fuel

not me taking scrounger and having 40 fusion cores without ever paying 1 cent

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1370058519595847810/1447760468189122652/spongebob-meme-try-not-to-laugh.gif

[fringe trout]

finally finished my skyrim mod list, didn’t count how many mods i threw into it but definitely less than 100, i just need to see jf it looks good enough for me now

[lilac inlet]

but if u dont wanna do all that you can just sell the armor

especially with how early t51 spawns

[fringe trout]

i left the armor just standing out there so i might go rip it apart later

[lilac inlet]

t51 is prolly the best all round suit in the game since it's repaired with almost only steel but has decently high stats

which makes no sense btw t51 is made of plastic

i like t51 just cuz of how cheap it is 😭

i dont bother with x01 or some of the modded power armors until i have 3 bazillion resources to upgrade and repair it

[fringe trout]

i really liked peering into a building and revving up the machine gun at a single bandit with a shitty pipe pistol, i might hop back on fo4 soon

[lilac inlet]

lowk i think fallout 4 is barely playable without mods

[fringe trout]

Honestly i have no idea if even half of mine are working or not im probably not far enough in to be able to tell

[lilac inlet]

the scaling is wack. the guns are wack, the armor is wack

[fringe trout]

The only one i’m certain of i think is that i skipped the pre-fallout part of the intro of the game

[lilac inlet]

why did they throw away so many old guns and replace them with the most garbage looking 😭

[proud wren]

i spent 4 hours of my life to beat this level i dont think ill ever feel more happiness

[fringe trout]

bethesda actually cant do shit right oh my god

i added one mod to my skyrim list and went to make sure it loaded at the right spot in the mod list and it literally moved everything

and it disabled 5 of my mods for no reason

i’m glad my list is currently only 61 mods long rn because that is just awful

[lilac inlet]

the newest one

pvz roof ost should not go this crazy bruh

what was it with mobile game music artists locking the fuck in in the 2010s 😭

[lilac inlet]

that was the sloppiest rob in history 😭

lowk i shoulda died for the incoming but

[static laurel]

Father Aldia would be proud.

[lilac inlet]

i went 30/45 in a lobby

the fucking immediate runback request 😭

and then i drop the double snap

ima be real idk why no one mashed on me

[fringe trout]

Roach tries so hard to fail every race in The Witcher 3 holy shit

Took me a good extra 2 seconds after the countdown to finally be able to move the damn horse and then it randomly reared and dead stopped at a later point in the race

[fringe trout]

why are there so many bombs in fallout 4 dude holy shit

I thought I ran over a random trip mine between two trees near a satellite station or someone threw a grenade at me but i just blew up while standing still doing nothing for 10 seconds after getting to the station and killing everyone outside it

A BOMB WAS STUFFED INSIDE A FUCKING MOLE RAT

I finally found it before it aggro’d on me and killed it

[grand maple]

my sibling in the gods, it's called fallout for a reason

[lilac inlet]

[grand maple]

I think it's really fucking funny that some guy taped landmines to the molerats

[lilac inlet]

that satellite station is a knowledge check

have you gotten inside yet

lowk mines are reactable. not the mole rat bombs tho those will just kill you

[fringe trout]

i did not dare go inside because the first time i ever went inside any satellite station i was in close quarters against a fucking minigun or something

[lilac inlet]

yeah thats the one

[grand maple]

get some power armor and go for it

[lilac inlet]

also shoutout to frag grenade

basic frag grenade is so good

[grand maple]

power armor is peak in 4 imo, i fuck with it hard

[fringe trout]

i am so good with grenades i regularly manage to bomb myself

[lilac inlet]

shit never falls off

plasma grenades are so hard to amass that your basic frags will carry you forever

[fringe trout]

I reset my mod list though because i’m kinda not satisfied with what i had and wanted something different, but now im taking a break from that

[lilac inlet]

especially with how free scrounger is

[grand maple]

throw em and use vats to shoot em mid air

[lilac inlet]

or use the cheater perk

that shows you the trajectory

[grand maple]

Should detonate em AND make you look like a fucking badass

[lilac inlet]

or just know the arc

[grand maple]

true, i prefer the badass method though

[fringe trout]

fallout 4 modding is annoying as shit, 2gb is the least of my concerns it’s just less organized in general

[grand maple]

i prefer it to skyrim honestly

[lilac inlet]

are you using the in game manager lmao

[fringe trout]

yeah i kinda have to

[grand maple]

but at least with skyrim the mods are made busted

[lilac inlet]

oh

[grand maple]

not forced to be by bethesda fucking everything up

i'm still hesitant to play 4 since that """next-gen""" update

[fringe trout]

there’s no easy post for me to look for to figure out how to order the mods on console, and mod lists feel a lot more 50/50 on if they’ll work or not

[lilac inlet]

also gotta love free modded content being better than cc content of the same thing

[lilac inlet]

there is a rule of thumb but i forgot it

most mods should order themselves iirc

[grand maple]

literally though, like sure the bfg9000 is cool as hell but goddamn does it seem like way more effort than it's worth for the price

[fringe trout]

There’s this “fallout 4 remastered” mod list that i was gonna put all my time into but it’s 4 years old and could probably just not work

[lilac inlet]

otherwise, big content first, modifications for that content next, and then changes to vanilla and reworks last

[grand maple]

i'm not paying for mods to my bethesda game

[lilac inlet]

im not paying for mods that ppl made for free, with more passion, better

the classic 10mm on the creation club looks like ass

[fringe trout]

the only good thing about fallout 4’s modding for me now is that it doesn’t crash while I’m downloading every 5 minutes

[lilac inlet]

did you update it?

[fringe trout]

skyrim’s mod menu is fucked

[lilac inlet]

if you did just downgrade

[grand maple]

fair
shit like fallout london should probably cost money if it doesn't, from what i've seen

[grand maple]

i oughta do that, yeah

[lilac inlet]

fallout london and aome other projects are basically just using the engine to make a new game LMAO

[grand maple]

exactly what i was about to say

that shit is so damn good that they really shoulda just made their own game

[lilac inlet]

real fallout games

but, i like playing it

[bitter ridge]

Oi

[grand maple]

kinda like how silksong was gonna be a dlc but became its own game

[bitter ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-fallout-new-vegas-intro-video-game-speech-gif-8179674230722638513

[lilac inlet]

it just needs mods that make all the weapons not the goofiest fucking cartoon guns in history

[grand maple]

the "assault rifle" in 4 makes me sad

it just makes me feel nothing but sadness

[bitter ridge]

Shit built for power armor

[lilac inlet]

i say that and then the classic games have this thing

[grand maple]

that thing's goofy and i kinda love it

[lilac inlet]

cuz the art team had no clue what they were asking for

[grand maple]

chunky revolvers make me happy

[lilac inlet]

they made it a revolver with the body of an automatic cuz they received contradicting requests 😭

[grand maple]

i kinda love the look

[bitter ridge]

Auto revolvers do go kinda hard, albeit a horrible idea

[lilac inlet]

they did a good job making it somehow appealing

[grand maple]

it looks fucking gargantuan and i adore it

[lilac inlet]

yeah they sorta just bullshitted an auto revolver

[grand maple]

looks like if i stuck it in a holster it'd kill my hips over a long period of time

[lilac inlet]

but i like the capital wasteland 10mm the most

bethesda didnt even make it it was a third party

no wonder it looks good

[grand maple]

that's 3, right?

[lilac inlet]

and nv uses the same pistol yeah

[grand maple]

hell yeah that thing looks sick

i gotta get around to 3 and NV sometime

[lilac inlet]

3 has a lot of prerequisites

[bitter ridge]

preferably NV

[lilac inlet]

play it through ttw tbh

i havent bothered setting mine up but

[grand maple]

uh oh

[lilac inlet]

they fixed the games for windows live thing afaik, but it crashes on modern intel processors so you need a mod to fix that

tho i think you dont need to downgrade 3

mines up to date and my mods work

[grand maple]

so probably just nv then

[lilac inlet]

nv with ttw yeah

[grand maple]

ttw?

[lilac inlet]

lets you play both games through nv

tale of two wastelands

[grand maple]

interesting...

[bitter ridge]

its pretty chunky tho

[lilac inlet]

its like 15gb yeah

one whole skullgirl's worth of mod

[grand maple]

not nearly as bad as the average AAA game

and i get a game that's leagues more enjoyable out of it

[agile linden]

Fallout 3 is alright but i never finished it cause the difficulty spike midway through the game was kind of annoying

[lilac inlet]

we love broken steel enemies do we not

naw i get you that shit is so annoying

by magic enemies with a thousand hp start spawning 💀

[agile linden]

Or clearing out a subway's worth of enemies barely surviving just to get jumped by a gang cause your karma is too good

That shit pissed me off

[grand maple]

Kneecap em

[lilac inlet]

i mean the subways are easy except for the 1-2 ghouls

[bitter ridge]

[grand maple]

oh gods

don't do that then

[lilac inlet]

they're fucking asinine

[agile linden]

Yeah the game kind of railroads you into playing neutral cause if you're too nice or too evil you get hunted either way

[lilac inlet]

ghouls that throw grenades at you

and have more hp and damage than a deathclaw

reavers can solo behemoths bro

[grand maple]

the reavers have the mental capacity to throw grenades???

[lilac inlet]

fucking WHY is broken steel like this

[fringe trout]

finally finding some collective mod recommendations now that might allow me to put together a list i like, maybe i’ll be done before today is over

[lilac inlet]

they throw chuks of their body and everyone calls them grenades

broken steel is such a stupidly annoying dlc

[agile linden]

Also fuck fire ants in 3

[grand maple]

that's a little less fucking terrifying at least

[lilac inlet]

i wouldnt say all that they die in 2 shotgun blasts

its just the broken steel enemies that once they start spawning the game becomes a hassle

cuz enemies with health approaching behemoths constantly spawning is not fun

its like they saw "we fucked up when we made the pitt so we're punishing everyone for it"

[grand maple]

what the hell did they do to fuck up the balance

so, so badly?

[lilac inlet]

the pitt made the metal blaster

and i guess they prolly saw that

and went hmm what if even that thing took forever to kill these normal enemies

(like 8-12 shots)

[agile linden]

I have yet to do the pitt in 76 or 3

[lilac inlet]

the pitt exists to get you the metal blaster

[bitter ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout1-fallout-chosen-one-fart-meme-gif-26212535

[agile linden]

Is the metal blaster like a proto junk jet?

[lilac inlet]

the genius that made multi pellet weapons give nearly full crit damage on each pellet in fallout 3

no its a 9 laser laser rifle

[agile linden]

Ah

[lilac inlet]

but each individual beam can crit for nearly full base damage

[grand maple]

so just because one gun's good that means they have to make the game horribly unfun?

[lilac inlet]

not individual beams worth of damage. but the whole base damage

fallout 3 has a lot of multipellet weapons with dumb per-pellet crit damage

its mainly between the metal blaster and paulsons revolver

these 2 fuckin things 💀

why are they like this

[grand maple]

so 2 guns are good, ergo balance goes out the window and we make those two the only usable weapons?

[lilac inlet]

its more like you have these guns whenever a broken steel enemy spawns and you dont wanna waste time using other guns on it

[grand maple]

That's almost worse

[lilac inlet]

because

why

[tidal raven]

Finally
Fallout facts

[bitter ridge]

because bethesda

[agile linden]

Wtf

[lilac inlet]

why

[grand maple]

1100 HEALTH ON A FUCKING REAVER??? what were the devs smoking and can i have some?

[lilac inlet]

heres a deathclaw

[bitter ridge]

meanwhile i'm going to mod fallout 4 vr, so wush me luck when i can

[grand maple]

I take it that if you get clipped you just die?

Also the fact that a feral ghoul deals the same damage as a bioengineered weapon of war is horrifying

[agile linden]

Stand back vault dweller, this is base ghoul we're up against

[tidal raven]

Imma be real I think im like
The signular trans person not into Fallout NV
If I was strapped to a chair and forced to play a bethesda title id much rather play skyrim

[bitter ridge]

eh nv ain't for everyone

but also why tho

[lilac inlet]

you have about 300-400 hp

[grand maple]

valid, i also would probably play skyrim solely cause i haven't played NV yet and wanna enjoy it on my own time

[grand maple]

so yes you just die with how fast feral ghouls swing

[agile linden]

To each their own. I think nv has the best storytelling out of the 3D fallouts tho

[lilac inlet]

yeah

thats not really an opinion, bethesda cant write

far harbor was their best work and it was written by a third party

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1370058519595847810/1447760468189122652/spongebob-meme-try-not-to-laugh.gif

[agile linden]

4 and 76's stories are kinda boring

[grand maple]

Did they give the reavers the same stuff the fleshpounds from killing floor are on?

[lilac inlet]

it was either a third party or a different team but

someone else wrote far harbor not the normal team

[grand maple]

like holy shit

[lilac inlet]

idk but in new vegas they're reasonable

[tidal raven]

I love the writing
So much
Phillip is one of my favorite characters to listen to in a video game, ever

However
Insane writing doesnt carry a kinda bland game with, certainly early 2000s visuals for me

[lilac inlet]

theres also albino radscorpions which is the actual strongest enemy in the game

[tidal raven]

Like this game didnt escape the piss filter war

[bitter ridge]

tf is a phillip

[grand maple]

ahh yes, the piss filter

a classic addition to any 2000's game

[bitter ridge]

the north of mexico curse

[lilac inlet]

broken steel enclave soldiers are also p healthy but not as bad

[grand maple]

woe, desert be upon yer eyes

You go into the dictonary for the word and its just a video of him talking

[lilac inlet]

oh yeah this guy lmao

[bitter ridge]

Oh the white gloves, I usually just kill them on sight

[grand maple]

ohhh that asshole
yeah i'd just quicksave then blast the bastard on sight

[fringe trout]

what do we think about choosing between male or female survivor in fo4

[grand maple]

valid

[grand maple]

flip a coin and go from there

[tidal raven]

Damn
Its so much funnier to call him out and scar him for the rest of his misrable exsistance

[grand maple]

that does sound funnier

though it wouldn't really matter if i blow his head smoove off 5 seconds later

[fringe trout]

character customization is the perfect level of mid on both ends that i feel like it’ll never make a difference, maybe i’ll get a mod for that if i can fit it

[grand maple]

still provably worth though

[lilac inlet]

male, easier to fuck up his face

[bitter ridge]

There is a mod on pc that lets you have Nora as a companion, it’s funny

[lilac inlet]

i wish the character creator was both goofier and had more options in 4

[agile linden]

Either but i tried making my sona and accidentally made adrien brody

[lilac inlet]

i went sf6 looking characters

[bitter ridge]

Please no

[tidal raven]

Oblivion remains peak

You dont even need to try just select an argonian

Peak physique right here

[grand maple]

[lilac inlet]

[tidal raven]

No head?
No, head.

[grand maple]

he got distracted

[tidal raven]

Gets the hit
"Time to do it again"

[agile linden]

I love dustloop's comments on moves also

[grand maple]

dustloop is my favorite thing ever

i got some screenshots from when dizzy dropped in strive somewhere, gimme a minute

[tidal raven]

Yk if Skullgirls was my game at all I'd likely play ElizaI recognize half of the shit in her kit

[bitter ridge]

more skugs gamers would be a choicee of all time

[tidal raven]

"Dive of Horus"

[agile linden]

Who would win?
A gun. Like an actual honest to god gun Happy Chaos just starts dumping lead down range
or
Butt

[tidal raven]

I- shouldnt say anything

[lilac inlet]

my guy did not get to play his team 😭

[lilac inlet]

skullgirls has a character with both and shes the most fucking annoying dlc-ah base game character in the roster 😭

[fringe trout]

man this jacked up way of installing mods on console is hitting
got a good mod list to put together but i dont know what the biggest mods are so i keep having to uninstall them to reinstall them later

450mb mod needs 900mb to actually go in

[tidal raven]

"Why yes I was made last in development, how could you tell?"

[agile linden]

Me neither i'm trash at fighting games; i main anji and pocket jacko and sin

[tidal raven]

Me maining Testament

[agile linden]

Testament is really cool

https://tenor.com/view/skullgirls-annie-bigband-umbrella-bigband-and-umbrella-playing-with-annie-gif-3545557333415229139

u should pick up the game

[tidal raven]

Watch video on strive
No combo game but you ragebait your opponents in neutral over and over then win
"Holy shit I need this"

[agile linden]

Pretty much

Havent played strive since lucy released tho

[tidal raven]

I mean its true tho
Got slaughtered by a potemkin just to beat them the 2nd and 3rd rematch

[bitter ridge]

just be glad he ain't sf4 gief

[lilac inlet]

me taking a single game off a mix master

[agile linden]

I was really into the game but a former friend of mine was the top 100 axl at one point and made the game very unfun whenever they were around

[lilac inlet]

this guy was what inspired me to learn that eliza mix 😭

this one https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559902225585930245/1449959335076565043/Skullgirls_Encore_2025-12-14_18-59-04_-_Trim.mp4?ex=69650c9c&is=6963bb1c&hm=0a57b231d9dcc67f42da8b6dd7e39a90468d94ffb862c03aed8ea6ffb4bd7989&

[grand maple]

found it (also one of my personal fav bits from another page)

[lilac inlet]

its a 5 way or some shid

[agile linden]

God not missing link potemkin

[grand maple]

i love potemkin ggml, he's my favorite sopping wet-tier sad goober

[lilac inlet]

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

[agile linden]

His page's downsides just says "can't"

[grand maple]

he rips, sucks, and blows ass comically

he just fucking sucks and his only redeeming quality is forward megafist iirc

[lilac inlet]

and then they made him good in +r i believe

idk i havent looked

[grand maple]

real sopping wet cat of a man

[lilac inlet]

anywho surprisingly ms fortune isnt even who's carrying me 😭

in the vc ppl were fuckin hating on the MARIE

ain no one ever been carried by marie before

tho fortune having giant fast buttons helps

[bitter ridge]

the creature

[fringe trout]

finally, 45 fo4 mods downloaded with 8mb remaining

I spent a good quarter of the time installing that shit trying to figure out the right order to install them in

45/53 mods because the rest of those mods dont exist on bethesda’s shitty menu anymore

[grand maple]

so blackouts caused by power leeches can be an issue containment-wise for the very shy, very floaty flesh monster

at least she didn't get far whatsoever

[bitter granite]

@tidal raven which art

[modern schooner]

it is stage 1!

[grand maple]

Do you have any idea why the flamethrower runs off of lasers and not oil or ink or something? Does it convert the lasers into the pissfire or something?

[static laurel]

Devs were too lazy and said "fuck it make it run on laser power"

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1195190801207148564/1458928078444171294/image0.gif

[modern schooner]

i also have 1000 bullet big shotgun

[grand maple]

I wouldn't even mind it if it was using the lasers to like, supercharge water molecules it pulls out of the air and sprays out but no, it's a flamethrower not a supercharged-steamthrower

[grand maple]

big fuckin shotgun

[modern schooner]

no, that's a different gun

[grand maple]

i mean yeah but if it's holding 700+ shells it's gotta be pretty damn big

or a cartoonishly long mag tube

[grand maple]

i forgot his 5P was 10 FUCKING FRAMES

[static laurel]

I just use it to melt the ice walls and then never touch it again.

It's kinda shit

[grand maple]

I'd use it if I could just carry barrels of ink or something to fuel it, solely cause fuck yeah flamethrower time

And also cause I wanna purge my enemies in holy fire

[agile linden]

10F 5p. We're off to a great start

[grand maple]

10f startup and -10 ON BLOCK for his best poke.

Why did they even give him any buttons other than 2S?

and maybe Pot Bust and Graviton Stamp?

[agile linden]

Who knows

iirc i think ggml axl's super just deletes his hurtbox in the middle of it

[grand maple]

His 2H is his fastest button

[agile linden]

For no reason

[grand maple]

Axl and Test are so uniquely fucked in ML

[agile linden]

Daisuke's vision needed glasses

[grand maple]

At least Daisuke's vision got those glasses and Pot's actually playable now

[agile linden]

Yeah

[grand maple]

Though semi related, I would kinda like to see Justice somehow return

[agile linden]

Raven got datamined for strive so i'll wait patiently for him

[grand maple]

wait, datamined as in they found him sitting on that building probably afraid of how to get down or datamined as in they might add him?

[agile linden]

They might add him

[grand maple]

YO

[agile linden]

Along with (unfortunately) jam

[grand maple]

Ehh, as long as she's less fucking weird I'm fine with her

The earlier games are wild

[agile linden]

Yeah xrd especially

There's a really unique roster there with chars like answer and haehyun

Would be funny to put answer in strive, backwards DP included

[grand maple]

What if they give everyone IKs?

[grand maple]

That would be goddamn diabolical

[bitter ridge]

wuz wrong with jam exactly, other than her shitty voice

[agile linden]

I imagine giving everyone iks would result in more overall gameplay changes and a revelator/rev2 situation

[agile linden]

Apart from making my eardrums bleed i don't like fighting against her

[grand maple]

I would kill for the inclusion of silly name additions like Revelator or Sign or +R

[agile linden]

Strive was supposed to be rev3 but became its own title i think

[grand maple]

Huh, woulda been really fucking cool to see GGXRD REV3

More games need to get the whimsy of appending weird shit to the end of the title

[grand maple]

What if they add fuckin Leopaldon or whatever the big one with the dog and guy was?

[agile linden]

Power move and add valentine or the other guy from gg2 overture

[grand maple]

That would be so fucking cool actually

I gotta play more of the GG series

like i wanna try Xrd and 2 at least

[grand maple]

Or maybe going forward they add crossover characters AS WELL AS proper original ones?

Cause I kinda wanna see Kiryu beat the shit out of Happy Chaos now that I'm thinking about it

[agile linden]

I think the guest character should've been ragna instead of lucy cause arcsys has just mostly abandoned blazblue

[grand maple]

Yeah...

What if one day they merge Blazblue and Guilty Gear?

[agile linden]

It's bootleg guilty gear cause they had no choice

[agile linden]

Would be neat

[grand maple]

I wanna see Sin beat the shit out of Terumi all while he tries to piss the kid off and accidentally makes Sin's day in doing so

it'd be so fucking funny to watch him FUME as he's not able to make the kid angry

[agile linden]

I forget which one was terumi again?

I played bbcf for like 20 minutes so i don't remember all of them

[grand maple]

Terumi's the douchebag with the yellow hood and green eyes

The Susano'o guy, sans Susano'o unit

[agile linden]

There's another susanoo?

I knew hakumen was kinda susanoo already

[grand maple]

From what I understand, he's the guy who is susano'o, just outside the thingy? idk

[agile linden]

Wack

[grand maple]

fr, fits right in with the lore of Guilty Gear

Which is part of why I advise they merge the two franchises because fuck it, the people need the truth

[agile linden]

Kind of like how sol is the guilty gear but also testament is too

[grand maple]

and testament is only the guilty gear cause ol Justice fucked with them iirc? idk

[lilac inlet]

xrd is my favorite one

[agile linden]

I think so

[lilac inlet]

it's more better

[grand maple]

I like them cause of how fuckin gender they are (also how much fun they are in strive though i kinda suck)

[agile linden]

Testament's strive theme also does not directly reference them

But yeah they're very enby and have canonically more hobbies than the average strive player

[grand maple]

i seek to emulate even a sliver of their power (i want to do so much shit but between the adhd and depression it falls down the side of the couch so to speak)

[agile linden]

Feel that tho in my case it's work and depression holding me back

I only have energy for getting out of bed and playing zenless or decorating the dojo in wf

I get my 1-2 game hyperfixations per month

[grand maple]

reaaaal

i get like a scattershot of hyperfixations that tend not to stick for the most part but some absolutely fucking do

[agile linden]

One that tends to stick around for longer than others for me is elden ring cause i absolutely adore the game's lore

[grand maple]

Elden Ring is a game i tried once, sucked absolute balls at, and refunded cause I just was not having fun

[agile linden]

Fair. Fromsoft's titles aren't for everyone

[stark basin]

i just finished finding all 48 odin ravens in GOW ragnorok and istg if the raven keeper is just a reskinned revenant im going to lose my shit

[grand maple]

I kinda like AC6, but damn does it beat my ass

[agile linden]

It requires a certain type of perserverance to want to finish those kind of games

[stark basin]

i have never loved and hated a game with such staggering duality as much as ragnorok

[lilac inlet]

you have ac6?

[grand maple]

AC6 is cool as fuck but goddamn does the difficulty spike at balteus suck

[agile linden]

Elden ring and other games from them beat my ass too but it's that feeling of finally overcoming your obstacles that keeps me going ig

[lilac inlet]

time to dogfight with me and scronch

[grand maple]

Armored Core 6, yeah

[lilac inlet]

nvm im stupid wrong game

[agile linden]

Sekiro was a different kind of punishing

The game punishes you for being bad at the game

[bitter granite]

Chat, is magic real

[grand maple]

I dunno dawg you're the one named chat

[agile linden]

Magic is unexplained science

[lilac inlet]

is this not the point of a game 😭

[grand maple]

how the fuck do you learn the game then

like genuinely

[agile linden]

Exactly

[agile linden]

It's the dragonrot mechanic. I don't like that quests are put on hold if you die too many times and you have to get the macguffin item to fix it

It's discouraging if you're just starting out and don't know what you're doing only to be punished by the game cause you're still starting out

[lilac inlet]

builds character, hold that

[grand maple]

I feel like Armored Core bashes you in the leg with an aluminum bat for being bad at the game too, but maybe not as much as that

[agile linden]

I kept being filtered by the general guy before the giant serpent in the beginning of the game

[grand maple]

I could also just be really rusty due to not wanting to grow to outright hate it

[bitter granite]

No

[agile linden]

Fym no you asked if it's real

[bitter granite]

Science is magic

[modern schooner]

I didn’t have too much issue with that

It also only happens when you use the revive, so while learning you can just not use that

[agile linden]

Eventually i just put up with it and mass healed everyone at once while doing bossfights

[loud saffron]

iirc raven was just ported from xrd and was used as a test character for some of the current characters
jam and roboky are confirmed tho

[grand maple]

why would they make my boy into a test character

[loud saffron]

terumi is susanoo outside the armor, hakumen is just alt universe jin using the armor

[grand maple]

why don't they just use the goku that the game has built in

[grand maple]

ohhhh so i was more or less right kinda?

[loud saffron]

more or less yeah, its weird

theres also hazama who was basically the mech that terumi was driving, but he has his own personality and can exist without terumi

the entire plot of blazblue is built on terumi ragebaiting ragna and noel into giving him what he wants until it stops working

[grand maple]

So AU blazblue ky controls susano'o as hakumen, terumi can be a bitch without susano'o, and hazama's just some dickhead he pilots like a meat gundam?

[loud saffron]

basically, terumi needed hazama cuz he couldnt have his own body, until noel manifested him a body by accident

i dont remember if hazama was a person before terumi started piloting him or if he was like, an empty shell of some kind, but regardless he can exist without terumi

[grand maple]

And Terumi uses his bastardness to piss off Blazblue Sol and Noel to get what he wants instead of doing it himself?

[loud saffron]

he cant do it himself so yeah he needs em to do it

[grand maple]

Okay, I see now

[grand maple]

Why doesn't he just ask the god he's a coworker of to do some shit for him?

[loud saffron]

noel has the power to make things that could potentially happen, happen, by observing it
terumi set up an elaborate chain of events and waited for an undisclosed number of timeloops until she existed with this power
he used it to make her see him, thus giving him a body

[loud saffron]

the "god" of the setting ripped him off the susanoo suit and hes been malding about it since, he basically couldnt do anything even with her help

[grand maple]

So he sucked so bad he got fired and said god didn't kill him why?

[loud saffron]

opposite problem, he was too good at being the god of destruction

[grand maple]

Ahh, so why didn't she kill him?

or like, chuck him way out into the boundary or something?

[loud saffron]

wait i might be misrembering

ok i triple checked cuz blazblue lore is a pain in the ass to remember

[grand maple]

i can imagine

[loud saffron]

so like

[lilac inlet]

aight lets see if i take one (1) game off this person

[loud saffron]

the susanoo unit existed by itself doing god of destruction shit until one day it gained a soul, that was terumi
terumi got bored cuz all he could do was participate in the loop of destroying shit and watching it be recreated, so he ripped himself off the suit and threw it at humanity

[tidal raven]

The right one

I like it being a full scene alot more

[grand maple]

Ohh, so he threw the suit at humanity and I take it AU not-Ky took it?

[loud saffron]

yeah

at some point it ended up in the boundary, where a version of jin from a destroyed world was in

i dont quite remember how that jin got into the suit but it probably had something to do with the vampires

[grand maple]

VAMPIRES?

[loud saffron]

then it spat him out during the dark war and he became one of the six heroes

[grand maple]

fuckin what?

[loud saffron]

ok so yeah

theres vampires

[grand maple]

oh

continue

[loud saffron]

after doing this, he went to relius and Nine's dad and told them he could help create a Thing that could explore the boundary (as they couldnt do this yet)

he probably did this because he himself could not go into the boundary and punch God with his own power

[bitter granite]

Accidentally ordered both, the buyer damaged that one but gave full refund

I reordered it cause it’s the cooler looking one

[tidal raven]

Noice

[loud saffron]

from terumi's perspective, this did not go well, it spawned the black beast which caused like 80% of the world to go to shit and it destroyed the body he was using

[grand maple]

That is indeed bad

Where exactly does Susano'o in CF fit into all of this? Cause I take it the black armor and green accents mean Terumi is in the suit?

[loud saffron]

uhh basically

in the game prior, hakumen beat his ass so hard he damn near died

[grand maple]

Oooough hell yeah not-ky kick his ass

[loud saffron]

he got so mad about this that he went to the castle where the incredibly strong, "i'm too powerful so i'm tasked with observing the world" vampires lived, stole a soul-killing weapon from the coffin of said vampire, and threw it at hakumen while he was distracted with a fight

[grand maple]

imagine getting so mad you steal someone's bed and throw it at your enemy

not even your bed, someone else's

[loud saffron]

jin wasnt literally in the suit, he was just a soul operating it, same as terumi used to be, but now terumi is strong enough to exist outside it so he isnt locked in there again

so he just uses the suit to basically crush any opposition he encounters

[grand maple]

so he can pop in and out of the suit at will now?

[loud saffron]

yeah

thats what he does in one of his intro scenes where he goes into it

the only reason he dies is because jin (the one from this timeline) and ragna force him out, ragna forces him into the place closest to the true azure, where he cant summon the suit, then finally, once and for all, gets killed by ragna

(the azure is the ultimate mcguffin of the entire series and the thing he plotted for god knows how long to get)

[grand maple]

So Terumi eats shit and there's 2 susano'o units out there?

[loud saffron]

nah theres always only one

now theres just an empty suit, technically

if terumi and hakumen are dead then theres nobody to really pilot it

[grand maple]

shit i'll take it

[fringe trout]

oh man the mutant menagerie mod for fo4 is rough on me

[grand maple]

i'm just some random dipshit but i'm not about to blow up all of existence with it cause i kinda live here too

[fringe trout]

I got killed by a “small stinkbug” (it was the size of my chest)

[loud saffron]

the entire plot of blazblue is about a god that sucks at writing trying to make her own hero figure to save her from being god (because she cant retire by herself)

and terumi using the fact shes a shit writer to get in the way and attempt to kill her

[grand maple]

damb, the whole story coulda been avoided if she took some writing classes huh?

[loud saffron]

the whole reason theres a timeloop going on in the first game, is because ragna keeps getting killed by nu, which triggers the destruction of the world via Big Monster Satellite Laser

[grand maple]

I will still happily accept any incredibly generous donations of godly power in the form of suits of armor though so I can make them glow RGB

[grand maple]

damn, i assume the satellite laser is the black beast or something?

[loud saffron]

nah thats take-mikazuchi

[grand maple]

WHO?

[loud saffron]

its literally just a gigantic fucking monster placed inside a satellite

[grand maple]

that's really fucking funny actually

[loud saffron]

originally created by nine, it was so powerful it got sealed inside a satellite

[grand maple]

i wanna punch it

[fringe trout]

But the whole bestiary thing is really cool, didn’t think anyone would write so much about rodents that exist to be killed, radioactive or mot

[grand maple]

In the face

[loud saffron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU4TkX2u4_g

get yourself a copy of bbcpex

[grand maple]

one day, maybe...

[loud saffron]

imagine if oppenheimer was halfway through making a nuke, realized how bad of an idea this was and how powerful it could be, stopped making it instead of destroying it, then got surprised when someone else finished making it

[fringe trout]

alright i am actually really happy about my fo4 mod list now i think, hopefully i’ll never have to change it again

[loud saffron]

(granted, in this scenario, oppenheimers' sister was being used as the battery for the nuke)

[fringe trout]

Did not expect the Faded Glory music mod to actually be enough for me to especially notice

[grand maple]

wh- yknow what i'm not even gonna ask

[loud saffron]

yeah fun fact

[grand maple]

this stuff would be right at home in the GG universe

[loud saffron]

every single human (specified because terumi and rachel exist) blazblue character, except nine and celica, are incapable of using real magic

[grand maple]

damn, good thing i'm not a blazblue character then huh?

[loud saffron]

they either use tech, or a form of magic specifically made to be dumbed down and usable by the common man

[bitter ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/taokaka-blazblue-airplane-gif-25633404

[loud saffron]

this is why nine can summon a meteor storm and shit while jin is just throwing sword shaped ice at you

[grand maple]

i wanna use the coolass suit of blow reality up armor

[loud saffron]

considering youre a basic ass human, i'm pretty sure the best thing you could do with it is like

idk fry food without getting burned by oil

[grand maple]

that's completely fine as long as i look badass doing it

[loud saffron]

hakumen was only that strong cuz he was trained by a vampire, had a cool sword and no sense of self preservation

[loud saffron]

lmao

[grand maple]

like the blow reality up powers are cool and all but i live here so i don't need or really want em

maybe like, simple shit to make life easier but other than that i don't need to erase continents from existence

[loud saffron]

well the main issue is that you cant have a body while piloting the suit

you either need to be a soul, or someone strong enough to turn themselves into a soul and spawn a new body when you get out

[grand maple]

aight, this meaty shit sucks anyways so i can probably manage something

[loud saffron]

i think i'd rather pilot like, a fallout power armor suit

really anything else

[lilac inlet]

i did not take a game

i also did not learn anything about playing eliza, just how not to play eliza

[grand maple]

fair enough honestly, i just think the coolass armor is worth it in comparison to the meatsack i inhabit

[grand maple]

i mean you still learned something though

[loud saffron]

yknow whats a cool suit of power armor? the one from vanquish

[fringe trout]

oh my god i just realized codsworth actually has voicelines to say some names

[lilac inlet]

some?

its not a small list LMAO

[grand maple]

absolutely not a small list

[fringe trout]

well yeah but anyways

[grand maple]

I gotta see this now

[lilac inlet]

had a wonderful sg moment

[grand maple]

okay this shit looks like a super sentai character and a gundam merged together

[loud saffron]

https://youtu.be/DH5Gif3B0B0?t=21

[fringe trout]

i thought i was crazy after naming myself john fallout 4 and hearing codsworth say john but i guess not

[loud saffron]

fun ass game

[fringe trout]

i somehow have avoided using any of those listed names until now though

[grand maple]

I oughta check it out sometime

[loud saffron]

i would like to achieve jet-powered rock sliding

[grand maple]

understandable

[loud saffron]

lookin' like temple's slide animation while travelling around

[grand maple]

what sorta power would i need to spawn a new body?

cause if it's theoretically attainable by a regular ass person then maybe...

[loud saffron]

if its blazblue, then you'd need to be someone blessed with the power of observation, as you could observe yourself a new body

so basically you have to be one of the protagonists of the story, or someone incredibly important

[grand maple]

dammit

[loud saffron]

even then you might have bad observation powers where you can see what could happen but cant make it happen

[grand maple]

i'm just a side character at best by that metric

[lilac inlet]

bro 😭

[grand maple]

wait a goddamn minute isn't that just theorizing

[lilac inlet]

the footsies

[grand maple]

like wouldn't that just be me thinking of what could happen

[loud saffron]

more like you directly seeing what could happen

yknow elizabeth from bioshock infinite? yeah she kinda does this

[grand maple]

ah, so advanced theorizing

[grand maple]

i have never played a bioshock game in my life

[loud saffron]

jamn

in that game, elizabeth can see objects from other timelines and pull them into hers, or use them to cross into the other timeline
in blazblue, youre basically seeing the possible result of something

[grand maple]

ahhh

[loud saffron]

so like, if you have the power of observation, you can flip a coin and, even if it will land in tails, you can see it landing in heads
and if you're capable enough, you can make it land in heads

[grand maple]

so advanced theorizing, with the possibility of actually doing something with it?

[loud saffron]

one of the characters uses this power to teleport someone as they wouldve, at some point, walked into the spot they were observing, so they just sped up the process

[grand maple]

so i could fuck with reality if i can picture it well enough?

[loud saffron]

yeah

[grand maple]

Hell yeah

[loud saffron]

as long as its something that could happen at some point, or couldve, or wouldve

[grand maple]

oh

[loud saffron]

also you'd still be limited by the fact youre a person so you can only do so much

the only exception is noel cuz her observation is so overpowered it gave terumi a body

[grand maple]

WAIT, so I could use the tried and true "the chances of x happening are low, but never zero" to do whatever the fuck i want?

[loud saffron]

maybe

if your observation power is strong enough

you might just get a form of it where the best you could do is the shit i said about flipping a coin

[grand maple]

regrettably however, i am just a normal dipshit with nothing fancy

[loud saffron]

you could like, order ramen with eggs and observe it as some other thing you ordered, then turn it into that

just confuse your waiter as she watches you stare at the ramen so hard it turns into a sushi platter

[grand maple]

it'd be really funny to fuck with people by ordering ramen and getting a raw fish

[loud saffron]

i'm not sure in what reality the chef would slap a raw fish down on your plate and call it a day, but yes, you could

this is the most OP power in all of blazblue and its only used to its full extent by two people

[grand maple]

i mean maybe if the chef were REALLY BORED and wanted to see what would happen

like yeah it risks your entire establishment but it'd be really funny

[loud saffron]

noel, who forgot to turn it off when looking at terumi which gave him a body
and terumi, who used it solely to keep himself alive after hakumen used the Sword That Kills You So Hard It Deletes You From The Timeline

[grand maple]

or like a wholeass lobster

[grand maple]

Sword That Kills You So Hard It Deletes You From The Timeline? Sounds cool as fuck

[fringe trout]

the eyebots are so weird

the first time i saw one was just roaming around a house with a mole rat infestation and that special weapon that blows their heads up

[grand maple]

i mean they're floating radios with lasers

[fringe trout]

i found one on the way to concord and smacked the shit out of it

[loud saffron]

shoutout to the eyebot near diamond city that aggros the guard if you kill it

[fringe trout]

i hate these mutated bugs so much it’s awesome, glad i finally got back into actually giving the game a chance

i’ve blown my legs off on this mod’s boombugs more times than i can count

Saving the minutemen in concord might never get old for me, love being able to throw myself into immediate vs. human action

[grand maple]

laser tripmines are my new favorite weapon in abiotic factor, baiting enemies into them is so fun

[hollow mirage]

oh good god

40mm shotgun shell

[static laurel]

I don't know if you're aware, but you can place a hardlight bridge on a door frame and give it a laser signal to make a door enemies can't go through.

[grand maple]

Huh, cool. Gotta do that now.

[static laurel]

loads buckshot into a grenade launcher

[grand maple]

Literally though, you can do that

Not really gonna be effective but you damn well can

[static laurel]

I know, yet it sounds so fucking dumb.

[grand maple]

EXACTLY, and that's the point

[fringe trout]

this time i’ll take the power armor to sanctuary instead of leaving it in the middle of a random fucking road like last time

[grand maple]

It's stupid yes but is it fun? Also probably yes.

[fringe trout]

i’m glad that the hostile stalkers and feral nights mods aren’t as overbearing and crazy as i thought they’d be, just had to put hostile stalkers to the right settings and it’s perfect

Ghoul swarms at night is just punishing enough at a bad time and hostile stalkers every 30-60 minutes with between 2-8 enemy stalkers at player level just feels right

[fringe trout]

minigun in the bathroom mirror

[tidal raven]

What do you not keep one in there

[static laurel]

Oh so that's where I left it.

[fringe trout]

of course i do

[grand maple]

I gotta make more laser emitters and hardlight bridges, these are cool as fuck

I gotta see how far these bridges extend to

And I know just the place

[static laurel]

Just make sure to not lock yourself out of your base if you end up using them as gates (just keep a personal teleporter charged at all times)

[grand maple]

I keep a teleporter on me at all times just in case I'm in that bad a spot

[static laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/gato-joia-gif-27503164

[grand maple]

So I'll be fine, plus I generally run crystalline vial too so battery's no issue

[static laurel]

field batteries are a thing

and they're cheap af

GET RID OF THE FUCKING VIAL

[grand maple]

why?

[static laurel]

Or don't I'm not your father

[tidal raven]

Eat the vial
I am your mother
Do it

[grand maple]

i mean free battery is free battery

i will say i don't wanna ingest microscopic spiders though

[static laurel]

Do not eat the funny esoteric vial

[grand maple]

I don't think I could if I tried

[static laurel]

Good

[grand maple]

Power leeches just appear anywhere now huh

I just blew one off my plug strip at my albatross base

[static laurel]

Make your electrical grid so tight that they just die

that's how I deal with those

[grand maple]

tight how?

[static laurel]

batteries, laser emmiters and all that super close together

[grand maple]

ohhhhh

[static laurel]

anything they can attach to

make it so they get no room to spawn

[grand maple]

I've just been using wires, but that's a good point

[static laurel]

I often come back to base and see crystalline dust and electrical organs on the batteries

[fringe trout]

“what’s this weird thing in the water? it has a health bar, i’ll shoot it”

[grand maple]

woe, crab be upon ye

[static laurel]

That's just Jeremy, he's a kind kid.

[fringe trout]

jeremy is dead

[grand maple]

I oughta start placing tables and shit over my stuff to kill em

[static laurel]

Rest in peaces

[grand maple]

they spawn in the table and blow up immediately

Or so I hope

[static laurel]

They spawn on batteries and electrical outlets, as long as you keep a tight grid they'll die

[tidal raven]

[Prowler noise]

[grand maple]

So anything by the outlet works as long as they haven't got enough space?

[static laurel]

If you know how to make the "infinite" laser power thing and put all it's components really close together you should be fine

You don't need to cover it with anything

[grand maple]

ohhh okay

So just make my shit really cramped so they can't spawn?

[static laurel]

Yup

[grand maple]

And thereby just drop my free shit?

[fringe trout]

this Covenant’s SAFE test is weird

[grand maple]

I feel I may be able to manage that, even if I may have to do some wackass shit to do so

[fringe trout]

i just wanna buy things and then go and shoot people somewhere else

[static laurel]

Yes they should suffocate and drop their shit

Still, you'd be wise to kill the big power leach as fast as you can

The lights going out is annoying

[grand maple]

I do, it's just the whole power outage thing that causes issues with stuff like my 0091 chamber

those bastards broke her free for like 2 minutes until I got her back in the box

[static laurel]

I have that set up with the laser power thingy and two good batteries

she's going nowhere

feeding her is annoying tho

[grand maple]

Speaking of, if you want a relatively safe spot to idle for frozen essence, the freezer right by spawn is cold enough for her sister to spawn

Assuming you don't have another box for her sister built

[static laurel]

The other one is male I believe ( I don't really care, just felt like pointing it out)

[grand maple]

I have like 5 or 6 stacks of greyeb so i'm set for a whiiiile

[static laurel]

This is the setup (make it tighter just in case, this one is the oldest one in the base)

You can tell it's old as fuck by the use of wires

[grand maple]

from what I understand, they're both female
at least according to wikipedia

[static laurel]

Huh, guess I'm wrong then.

[grand maple]

Ahhhh, I thought I needed to literally cramp everything way closer together

[static laurel]

No, not everything. Just the power setup

[grand maple]

Okay, so the laser, converter, and plugs need to be cramped but nothing else?

[static laurel]

unless the devs decided to fuck me over with an update, no.

[grand maple]

Interesting...

I can't say I see how wires are old as fuck, for the record

[static laurel]

I relpace everything with laser

[grand maple]

fair

[static laurel]

looks better

[grand maple]

I prefer using wires personally, makes me feel like a rat hiding away in my den

[grand maple]

yooooo the fit is clean

[tidal raven]

Love the mage knight armor

[static laurel]

Bigass head

[tidal raven]

Its combo of the royal knight, rellana and the cuckoo armor sets

[static laurel]

I do prefer the Carian knight set, but it looks dope regardless

I love hoarding armour sets just to not use them in favour of the bloodsoaked set.

[tidal raven]

Im constantly swapping attire

[static laurel]

You won't catch me without the Bloodsoaked set.

[tidal raven]

I think I was a radahn cosplayer for a bit
Then a pointy hat wizard
Then the unit

[grand maple]

why does the water at albatross want me dead again?

[tidal raven]

I was a crucible knight too when I playing faith

[grand maple]

like i dip a toe in and i start bleeding out like i lost a leg

[static laurel]

Only thing I can say I change sometimes is the Official's attire for the Astrologer's robe when doing a faith build

Or this one when I feel eccentric

[grand maple]

are those fingers
coming out of the coat

[static laurel]

Yes

[grand maple]

those do not look like fingers

[static laurel]

Eldritch finger robe bo brrr

The only three fits you'll see me use

Poise, armour values? No son, if I die, I die with that shit on.

Bloodborne style

[static laurel]

@grand maple Apologies for the @ but did I show you the council of sparks?

[grand maple]

The council of sparks? I don't believe you have, no.

[static laurel]

This thing

[grand maple]

Such malice in one space should not be physically possible

But I am quite amazed regardless

[static laurel]

The council will decide the fate of the intruders

[grand maple]

And you too, without proper safety precautions

[static laurel]

I have the glowing shard in my inventory at all times

as long as I don't forget to swap it from my inventory to one of the trinket slots, I'll be fine

[grand maple]

I could never be trusted with an item like that, it'd have to work in my hand or not at all

[static laurel]

I have not tried holding it out

Maybe it works, but I'm not taking the gamble.

Not with the council.

[lilac inlet]

wtf

that set went 13-30

i actually killed valentine today
