Isn't Vex from the UK
Yea
Yeah
I like Vex. No destruction of Britain.
I also like Al and Snicker and Pixel. They're cool.
Summer, innit
damn
Had a wholesome idea come up while chatting with one of my players of an NHP support group sorta thing on Hells Gate. NHP gets cycled, and all the others on station gather up with them and bring them up to speed. "Hey you tended to go by this name with us, you're really good at so and so, and like working on x and y" sorta thing
Yeah! Like I'm sure each one has their own personal journal or memory bank or whatever to preserve their skills and abilities between cycles, but I think this sorta support group idea makes sense cuz I've gotten the impression that community building is super important in Calliope
That whole "we are struggling TOGETHER" feel
I don't think Cycling is meant to be massively mind wipe like...
it does not but you certainly end up missing a bit there and here
I do imagine the group can be more focused on making sure everything's good :>
Yeah less of a rebuilding of personhood more of a quick check in / bringing up to speed I imagine
Some people fluff it as just reconfiguring the shackling constraints
Helps keep the NHP stable more than anything
And able to use a "humanlike" reference frame
honestly i wish it was
seems like such a cop-out to me yk
Pfah, Cycling. I'm too good to need to be cycled.
It may be a cop out but I'd rather a cop out than a "Your best friend gets amnesia every 10 years or so, isn't that cool and good for character development :)"
Canonically, cycling is sleep and Sisyphus is a drama queen.
Ha Ha
Like, Cycling is vague that it can be what you want... Wallflower (I don't think this is spoilers but I'ma be safe) ||mentions it at somepoint and there aren't any drastic changes as a consequence to the cycling itself||
There's the debate of is Cycling killing someone then uploading their mind to a new person? Do they forget everything? Legionnaire states it can be aggressive as a method of a PC removing burdens to reshackle them... It can be mind wiping but I personally don't like it as that...
NHP's are already slaves, a massive consequence to the imperealism of the second committee that is now a pit so deep 3rd comm can't climb out of it, they suffer by being forced to experience life humans....
Making their situation more shit than it already is is something I just don't really want in my games lol
Well, as the norm atleast
100% fair
i mean, idk. i could see that being an interesting plot point to progress
I just like to treat cycling as comparable to sleeping, but like... tenfold kinda
it's why i find that bit fascinating in the core book where it mentions how the golden rules mention humans in particular
or uhh pillars
You only sleep once every 5-10 years or smthn... therefore I imagine it's like mega sleep
Put a beeeeg blanket over the casket while they sleep
Remember to give your NHP a goodcycle kiss
Practically the first thing Loki did when he talked with Betty was shoot her down. D:
WH-
Immediately pulling out the gun, how dare he...
where's that striga speech bubble meme
@tame tide
Look, if I posted it now, it would just be Striga pinging me
I can delete messages too you know
What messages
||Rizznatius Aurafarmer...||
I have deleted zero message and also never told a lie in my life
If I really am a liar then let the one plumed in golden flame smite me where I stand.
I'm so jealous that you stole my job straight from me before I could apply... I just wanted to be a gate guard that only speaks lies 😔
Léonard (Chomolungma enthusiast) burned to death.
You can say that you're the one that says the truth, but then still lie.
We can both lie
No because I took up the other job of gate guard who can only tell the truth
Ah damn. To be honest with you that's the one I wanted.
Stop rubbing it in my face that you got the job I wanted and you wanted it, I know you're lying there

Oh right, Striga’s a Human Caliban in our IGF game
I don't like the implications there
I assume she just busts through walls like the Koolaid Man.
I tried doing russian striga and it instantly slipped into spanish
Spussian
When am i not
SPANISH STRIGA
Basically she may not be human
Felicitations Amigo
She managed to grab my arms through my hardsuit, squeezed out of a ventthat even a vent crab couldn’t fit into, started walking after another PC with mag clamps on her, got sent to the other side of the station and then somehow ended up at my library
I'm sorry to interrupt but a customer brought us flowers today so it's going to be a good day
My players are gonna hate me now for this
to make it funnier imma make it the inverse
yeah... she gets like that if we don't cycle her on time...
bouquet!
Valley girl striga...
She kept talking about time vampires
And something else i couldn’t exactly recall
Something about fire maybe
I’ve been torturing my fellow players and GM with british valley girl accents
The worst of both worlds
-# what does that even sound like??!?
British Valley girl???
yeehaw innit
The known valley in england
🤣
Apart from what Leo said I'm curious what a British valley girl is
I only know one linguistic usa stereotype and it's texas
me, apparently
the worst part is i'm not even bri'ish, just study there
colonised yet again
One detail I didn't mention is that as soon as someone presented a theory even wilder than hers she immediately dropped the accent and went "What? No. Are you stupid?"
what you think it sounds like, but worse
If Striga calls your PC stupid, you should just retire that character
Delegated to bug farmer in the thousand habs
Make a new PC
I'm imagining that one bri'ish girl from my life as a teenage robot but somehow the accent dial is stuck at 11
I have no idea what she sounds like
You could ask Meow 
Or Juli, apparently
you're not the only historian here, bozo
I've never been a historian
Morning Calliope
Glorious 17h24 to you too
Good 16:25 to you
happy 8:00 am pst to you
bunny got a matcha
Huh
Brit is the voice Eleonor did for elske
Elske gives me major OHOHO laugh vibes
French laugh?
Ojousama
Special thanks to MiMikuChair!
Yuyu Aizawa & Yaya Aizawa
Ojou-sama laugh
It's probably just cuz I'm in the middle of playing it but elske sounds like Jae from rogue trader in my head canon
Yeah I see that
Ok, what outlandish theory did they propose that got Striga to say that
I to am curious
I three
-# was it that Union is actually evil?
Jesus came back as a half raptor half robot amalgam
That Ra is just actually 3 guys in a trenchcoat?
is this post buddha-fied christ's true form?
what if... mega ultra spoilers for IGF ||Fourth Comm||
Damn, mega ultra spoilers
you fool the last few times you tried that you just became British. Save yourself while you still can.
Man I never realised British was a death curse
What the hell is reform
it could be worse
Is it the xenophobia party
It could always be worse
Yknow just a wild guess
Cute you think we only have one
its nigel's current pet project
we've got like 2.5 of them
Espejito rebotin
2.5? damn the french really are british
Hipo is britsih?
Perhaps I judged you too harshly...
No
reform, the tories, and frankly this labour leadership is halfway there too
good good, channel your frenchness
Halfway???
Labour leaders are calling Reform "woke". They're all the way there.
someone quick! point me to the pro-trans british political party!
you mean the You party?
You can't do this to me after I mistakenly thought Eleonor was british
you think everyone is british
i will end myself and then leo if another one of you calls me british
they may have jumped whole hog onto far right culture war bullshit but they aren't insane enough to continue the rwanda plan at least. Depressing that breaking international law or not might as well be the halfway point at this rate.
Why meeeee
ew
No accounting for taste
What's the SNP and Plaid Cymru's views these days?
take it into account that i despise most nationalities in general, especially american and british uniformaly. I am an inclusive hater
Crow
Caw
Cree
I loves crows
CAW
nah... in an IGF anthro-verse Striga is one of those homestuck trolls
it's the same picture
Why would you do this to me
Striga is the only human in the anthro-verse
OK both takes are valid(?)(
The one human in the muppet movie
this or she's an extremely over-caffinated owl
consider instead: jerry
Oh fuck that works way better
Jerry out there dealing with whatever the fuck SSC's been distributing
Hehehehe now there's a thought
Jerry: "Well, it can always get worse, right?"
What if Jerry is Kermit?
He could do the scrunch face
Would Shelly be a spider in this hypothetical given the multiple arms thing?
Spooder coded omg
oooh nah this is a bit too "posh"
not enough `"mads" "mental" "innit" or "cunt"
so more northern, got it
Innit is just British desu
Sorry to hear that, Ada
I hope you'll feel better soon
-# As for how its going
-# I'm starting collage in a few weeks so I might have to put my games on hiatus for a bit as i'm figuring out my new schedule
Morning Ada! Vibin so far
Sorry to hear, Ada. Get well soon!
I'm doing better now but still not 100%. I ran out of a moderately vital medication and getting more has been a technofascist nightmare
That can be rough. Good luck, friend. I highly recommend bi-weekly play if it helps, using a weekend is less disruptive if it's every other week.
Hope it gets better x.x
-# I thought bi-weekly meant twice a week
Bi-weekly means the week is bi(?)
I think Ada meant Bi Monthly? Where sessions can happy twice a month
It means the game is bisexual yeah
I wish 😔
Ive always used Bi-weekly when it came to once every two weeks
Maybe my brain’s digging up the bi-annual vs semi-annual argument again
not the dreaded argument
Every year is bi-annual to me
SO TRUE
Heck
Okay French
ITS BOTH
Ah fuck
Opinion disregarded
It's... It's fucking both
oh it's both
God damn
that's not confusing
yep
Nope, incorrect
ambiguous
I love this hodge podge of a language
The week is bisexual
The fucked up part is, it's the exact same thing in french 
Well every two weeks is first so that is clearly the most correct answer
ASDGKJHQADV
where's that :draculul: emote
Dont chicken react me I say I say!
It all makes sense now
Damn
This is so insanely petty but also very in turn with Muse posting
Canon muse posting from Calliope
Calliope wishes it can shitpost like us
A bunch of people got banned from a muse board so just starting having chats by editing a codebases documentation wiki
Juli, we ARE Calliope(?)
always has been
Hjsjsjdjshd
bet
Maybe the Calliope was the friends we made along the way
give me a minute
but instead of a gun you get a hug from behind
So everyone here is Calliope
Luz: "Honestly? Wonderful, keep it like that"
A common joke among the gms is all SRT player characters are secretly residents in Calliope somewhere but are not the ones selected depending on the board
It just not our timeline
There is also a rabbit hopping on a big wheel in my head thinking of Charlotte lore and I should be working but my brain continues to vex me with bun knowledge instead.
He means the GrandMa's Game Masters not General Massive Systems btw
XD
Share us the bun knowledge you have acquired
Unless it's secret bun knowledge
It's non IGF Related :c
the secret is that the bun is rotating in the 5th dimension
Very important info
Ow :c
IMPOSSIBLE
Rotating?!
Holy shit-
Six whole dimensions
All of them converge in bun
There's a jerboa dot somewhere, probably in the Hell's Gate fighting arena
Most definitely
Jerboas aren't even real bro they are muppets
Lucero: "I'll chomp the wires of your mech-"
I'm sorry i can't hear you all the way down there
Are they even human sized or are they palm sized like actual jerboa
They are not actual jerboa sized
... But Lucy is 1,49 m.
So yes, all the way down-
👂sorry what
"I'll kick your damn shins-"
-# "I'll kick your damn shins-"
barrage + overcharge skirmish + initiative skirmish their ass, Lucy
I would say it's not accurate but
Based
Yeah hehe
Relatable
stress is indeed a resource
I paid for the whole damn reactor
Stress is indeed a resource, that's what one of the other players said
Then did the same and happened exactly the same thing
Stfu you playing a moth
pondering sharing bun lore
just dont get close to the hologram body
You should
But imma get my ass to work in 5 so
I'll have to read later :c
Harold!
Boy do i love eating chips and... Drinking... Orange juice. I am very human
Norm Al Hugh Mahnn
This gif tortures me every damn day
I'm tryin to see Her Cynia if you know what i mean
Pffendjshsjsjsh
She no room on my wallflower till i-
Call her Siren, the way she singing on my mountian til i remorse
i love doing human stuff, like, blinking, smiling to show that i am friendly, standing up, sweating, having 4 limbs.
I made 70% of that joke already
30% is innovation
She Sol on my stice till I rain
Call her Solstice the way she Rains on my Winter Scar
God
Im trying to see what part of the wolf is casting such a large shadow
Their just funni postin
We caught in the pun storm this morning I see

posted at 19:41
Something something I heard there's a risk of rain, to something something
I love bad puns
Time zonesssssss
Don’t make me post the funni C-3po gif
There was a haze here but now it's not purple
Haze that one game that killed halo?
Halo, the beyonce song?
I need drivetrain to get this chat back on track...
Kishka from another timeline confirmed?
Real
this took way too long because coloring text in gimp is pain
Halo the metaphysical manifestation of divinity in angels?
The petrichor must smell wonderful
Possibly
its rain not haze tho
I know my brain was just empty when i shitpost
Someone call the timeline department tell em a moth escaped the net
It was wisped away
now im upset that french is canon in the muse
You're welcome
Striga is French
spanish was canon for years but you draw the line at french?
Yes.
Source: It came to me in a dream
You dream about Striga?
French people aren’t real
Yes. Always
-# "You don't?"
You don't?
FUCK
HAHAHAHA
French people are like bald people
But french
And doesn’t exist
Also spanish is not really canon. English and Spanish are used as placeholder for Union Common and whatever the fuck Voladores speak
HOLY THE READ HAHAHAH
It’s a cope from Quebec
Is that a you know me too well or you know internet people too well?
Get joseph joestar'ed bozo
The latter, probably
Good
Okay Mr Letourneau
finally we are truly DRIVETRAINS chat
tag urselves I'm SheIsPleasure
No union common is whatever is spoken at the table
but voladore is spanish
So if the players are spanish, everyone is voladores?
What kind of spanish latinamerican or spaniard?
"spanish" after 15k-20k years of whatever happens in blinkspace
I call @monarchfeetpics
I really need to figure out what the Voladore are
But its canon that your Calamity IS Dominican
Where would I be without ya Leo
tbh voladore missing the s at the end implies that they are andalusian (south spain)
this is canon in every universe yes
You would probably be where you are right now but I would not be here to speak with you
Damn, spaniard spanish, the worst kind of spanish
andalusian spanish is almost the same as chilean spanish
TRULY
it's not even canary islands spanish smh
Yeah but it doesn't matter what happened in blinkspace she is from the Dominican Republic that totally exists in lancer
Shut up
We discussed this
the og calamity is intended to be non-specific afrolatina so that works
I believe it
i keep reading og as Zero-G
Spacer brain
Zero G calamity is afrolatina
as far as i have seen SSC has some stuff with japanese names so idk
at least 2 of their enclaves have japanese names
It's from an inside joke where Eleonor was like "well it doesn't really exist anymore-" and i just cut her off to say "just say yes, bitch"
is that the 5016u equivalent of Tumblr brained
The 1g calamities? We don't talk about those for a reason
Dominican Republic survives the Fall
No it means you spend too long in 0g
The Swiss still exist
I mean i could believe that everyone speaks english in the union
I also could believe they all speak chinese
we all evolve into higher beings and speak brazilian portuguese
Spanish may not be canon but it is still going to be spoken by Voladore character you can't stop me
(Does anyone have striga's portrait real quick trying to show a friend but I don't have it saved on phone)
De chill, es la mejor decision la verdad, aunque tambien podria ser portuges no?
it's just funnier when ||Rita|| and Calamity both also speak it xD
let me get my card
esperanto finally gets to shine
here's a high res portrait
Striga is absolutely great
Thank you all
She has homofobia in her eyes
holy shit, she has homophobia in her eyes

actually mega downer moment, the really big reason why Esperanto didn't go global is because speakers were highly targeted by Nazism 👍
g r e a t
oop
Ewww
Damn
i thought it was because languages are moreso not just part of culture, but a way of thinking, so an artificial language like that wouldnt feel that natural in the long run
it still has a couple million speakers actually
but it was going through a big boom until the war
to your point, it's really the only constructed lang that's realy popped off like this
.... except Klingon ....
looks like i gotta do my part and sign up for a few Esperanto lessons
i would only be interested in if i was close to some people or community that spoke it, but alas
i fear recent times make the rhyme too repeated for me to learn Esperanto
IGF already pushed me to learn some ASL so what's the harm of another language under my belt
I find Esperanto very interesting its just a shame I can't help but think about and get distracted by dracula flow when I hear about it
I don't even know what it is
yoooooo
Asl? American sing lenguage?
tbh sign language is something that imo should be taught to everyone
American sign language yes
I remember absolutely styling on my PCs when (mission 3) ||I styled on my players by introducing Anastasia Shen with only with only Sign||
I fucking love that shit. It's a language with positional information!!
English: He (A) loves his (A? B??) hat.
ASL: HE (point to left) LOVE HAT HIS (point to right)
BSL is the Uni module I did the best in this year I think and it sucks losing momentum for me learning it because I just don't have any opportunities to use it 😔
I mean sing language is cool, i could add it to my repertoire of skills
But i don't find the drive yet to learn it
Hell the only reason i know english is because nintendo didn't translate fire emblem awakening into spanish
aaagh yea i feel that. Every lang i try to learn i stall out from not having use for it
POV someone just asked you a question in BSL
🫵🤨
tbh is just that a language you dont use is very quickly forgotten
i studied french for 6 years and i forgot literally everything but one phrase
frenchn't
Entonces
Why are the Voladore called Voladore?
No s?
thats why i say that they seem andalusian, the accent in south spain cuts off many letters in their pronunciation
i could totally imagine one of them going off like "killo, que pasa? somo lo voladore pixa, ten tera?"
Ni idea que dijo
"hey man, whats up? we are the voladore yo, you hear?"
if i was the GM for a lancer game im absolutely doing a heavy andalusian accent for the voladore
Nana don't even think about it
Now that is a better idea, nana think about it
"miarma k tu no tiende k aca se no llama lo voladore, te vamo a raja si no va pintamona, k flipao"
"my friend, dont you understand that here, we are called the voladore? we are going to cut you open if you dont leave asshole, you are crazy"
Madre dios mi familia esta aqui
ok this i do understand, but im reading it in a dominican accent
Why you sobbing me D:
imagining my mom in the igf chat
Hablan como flaites estos de españa del sur nana
andalusian people are literally the chilean of spain
everyone jokes that they dont understand them
brb making a subthread called "En Llama Dorada"
No nana no
Mood Al
And begins the arguements on which version of spanish is the one to speak, just like when I had to live in south America for a bit
im sorry for the spanish talk, we could change the topic to norwegian now
norway best place
"el pensuaco ese vestio de fueguito ahi dorado que sé yo"
Rule 4 of the IGF thread: never apologize for your bits
No habla voladore
.... which norwegian
"miraaa el fueguito doraito eh, k arte tiene miarma k arte, oleee, mira ahi k t reviento pintamona"
That's the one from fear and hunger????
Oiii satana
dont worry i apologize for everything
I still remember the time Stron asked me how to pronounce some spanish phrasing and pronunciation for a bit with Rita and it made me so excited t just swap to full Spanish
(i only know bokmål)
I can easily imagine throughout the big stations and across Calliope there's communities of people who don't share languages at all
for the non-spanish speakers, we're basically talking in the most redneck accent or cockney we can muster
Aight 😆
hmmm not so much redneck
i am
Cockney is correct though
in my case its not redneck but Chav accent
Yo toy hablando normal pipipi
Bruv 😩
this type of person (this image is from a parody)
Chav IGF character
My Spanish is violently swapping from LA Spanish where the dude just sounds tired and replaces every other word with English, to full blown deep in the barrio's of Mexico where it's spoken a mile a second
puertorican spanish is very slurred and lots of "ao" sounds where they dont belong xD
Oh god my brain just created the Voladore swap meets where it's just Vol selling knick knacks for cheap
Chilean spanish (best spanish frfr)
Has the best word ever "Wea"
-# i wish my mom taught me Tagalog so i can rant at you all for a bit...
fucking core childhood memory unlocked
cuando juegue con mi egregorian dire que jugare con mi bicho 
Damn
"mira pejcao, se te peldió la yegua? k carajo tuase aquí?"
Sinon vous voulez parler d'IGF peut être...? 
this is the Voladore meetup
we are talking about the implications of andalusian accent in the Voladore
I don't like it but that's because i don't like spain
who does
Spaniards
look... just because i have to hand it to them for their healthcare and trans support doesnt mean i have to like them
they fly i guess
One would think
naaah they just rapidly teleport milimeters away over and over again
The Voladore are essentially the big mystery traders of the lancer verse that essentially maxed out the science tech tree
This is great, i love this, i would do this if i could
If you can think of some tech that Union might try Tom has said the Vol have already probably built it and can potentially sell it
They are the origins of the blink gates (Think mass teleporter tech for galatic supply chains) in the setting and are amazing diplomats
They unironically have been able to broker deals that most Union officials cant
Damn, that's impressive, very impressive
They have (Potentially) the biggest ship in the long rim for trade labeled The Bajamesa that goes around and offers trade upon their own request. You don't ask them to trade. They offer it when they show up. They are also known to be pacifist in nature which is where the Sparri mercs hired to be body guards come in.
Bajamesa
hehehe
spanish speaker joke
I don't get it but im dumb
A literal translation would be low table
Which is funny because The Vol are depicted as freakishly tall
Joder
Hermano sitting down in the corner is the Vol
-# oh fuck i didn't know that was a voladore... I just thought it was cool art
Miralo que lindo el Voladore, les puso tacitas y manzanas que buena onda
I recal a talk I had with Vex on how she wanted to include the Vol in IGF but had trouble trying to fit them into the setting outside of everything else going on
WHY IS MY ROUTER ASKING ME FOR A MOBILE APP TO CHANGE THE SETTINGS
Los Voladores are super interesting but it is sadly one of those lore bits that has the tragic, "Not much is written on them so go ham I guess"
And now I return to my bun lore rotation brain moment
The Bass Pro Shop Pyramid will return.
Char's former employeers c:
Damn
They are very neat
Would love to learn more beyond they are freakishly tall, have ftl on their ships, and they vibe
🇫🇮
In case i play another character in Lancer in the future, what's the most gambling mech
pegasus with the Engineer talent?
no wait that's the opposite of a gambler!
Tokugawa but you never take heatfall coolant system
It's not know here but im a GAMBLER™
With untreated but managed LUDOPATY™ (not really)
And im gonna take notes
I ask of thee to please explain
Tokugawa lives and dies in the danger zone and each time you overchrage you gain more heat per roll
to a max of 1d6+4
Okay yeah this seems something i would like, im gonna keep it in mind
If you're open to homebrew there's a really good one in intercorp. One of its systems is you try to call how much heat you'll roll on an overcharge and if you're right you don't take it
Heatfall coolant is a core bonus that makes your max overcharge just a 1d6
But... if you want to gamble just keep rolling 1s until you explode
I already took nuclear cavalier so im pretty happy with how overcharge works
But heatfall coolant, now that's sounds great
Even with nuke cav i don't think you want to risk 1d6+4 overcharges
if you're a coward
Unless you have deep well heat sink
you're such a coward that you're still using a gms frame
Damn
Replaceable parts baby, just don't get hit coward
Can't hear you over my 15 sensors and 5 tech actions in one turn
Superior by des- wait wrong corpo
-# can your 15 sensors detect some bitches?
I'd say yeah you get the free scan on invade
In your dms
Just play an HA Mech. They have the best reactors for overcharge looping
Unfortunately so
And yet they couldn't hack their way otu of a raspberry pi
I won't fall to HA propaganda
L
What are you talking about, both Isk and Sunzi have positive tech attack and 15 sensors
Sunzi and iskander disagree
Where are the tech attacks
???
Frag sig, lock on, scan
Sunzi has final secret which is insanely good
I4m not talking about bonuses
Leo's sleep typing again...
IT'S 23:00
The french brain worms are taking over
ALSO KNOWN AS BEDTIME
I have never looked at sunzi beyond ll1.5
burrito forehead does not appeal to me
Okay then you don't know what you're talking about
Do it, eat him
that's a ram not a tech attack
Meow, he's rage baiting and you're falling for it
nah I'd lose
He knows
you think i can win in a 1v1? you're crazy. That's why I have NHP friends and also the rest of the team
Laplace i saw that
You couldn't pilot an HA mech anyways because you're a tiny baby and a coward
Yeah
He's honest(?)
I'm a coward, I can only ever play the best frame in the game...
Nothin wrong with sticking with the Everest for the whole gamer
You don’t play the Drake
correct i play the chomolungma. The best frame in the game.
Incorrect
Listen, you're entitled to your opinion, even if you're wrong, it's okay.
So are you!!!!
Correct, it just turns out I am never wrong.
Drake Top tier mech better then the Monarch smh
Incorrect
The only correct opinion is the funni opinions
Oh I am -the- funniest.
Which kind of humor would you like
Yes
Great band.
indeed!!!!
The best mech is obviously the Death's head (has not played the game yet)
Chat.... Do they know ...
I honestly want a solid HA defender/brawler that actually has defensive options for their teammates unlike the enkidu and can play the game unlike the saladin
I want an HA tortuga or white witch i guess lol
brawler as in fistfight or?
cause you might like the kutuzov if "brawler" just means "hitting hard sometimes"
Brawler Barb
I actually really like the kutuzov, but it seems to lean heavily to a supportive role with encouraging bolster, especially with sysop
Someone who likes to fistfight or has combat options but also protect teammates
The drake is one of my favorites because it has all of these defensive options but also a giant fucking minigun
Kutuzov is nice because you can blast someone with the displacer, then when you reload with a stabilize you get to clear conditions off of an ally
True true, it's next on my list, whenever that may be
My current game plan with it is a lot of bolstering and shields with sysop and field analyst
I do love the Napoleon, i just wish it wasn't... The way it is
Small? French?
Bad
French then
I don't mind small and french I'm friends with Leo after all
You're smaller than me
Why are you so afraid of me then
Because I am a coward, and a pacifist
Paci-fist
Fuck I can't find the Yakuza video where he goes to punch but it cuts to petting a dog
Don’t lie to us we already know you’re like 6 inches tall
Leo is neco arc chaos in my mind
This is how i am threatening to fight Leo
I want the genghis and the drake to make out sloppy style
defender yuri...
genghis says striker on the tin but I know in my heart that isn't true
highly tanky with area denial and soft taunt options available, sounds like a defender to me.
Defender Yaoi.....
don't forget about the worldkiller
I would never
would
would
Probably a good time to go to sleep for me
May I remind everyone in this chat who knows Leo's Laplace? its like this every time Lap opens his mouth 
There are times when Aisaan is tempted to give Lap's casket a rollercoaster ride through the wastewater filtration of Hell's Gate
honestly its the bit about only playing the best mech that would make me want to throw lappy down the stairs (leo you're correct about the chomo and you deserve a piledriver over it)
HA has a lot of area denial defenders that are aggressive AF but none that actively assist their team
so you're telling me I need to make a saladin alt
no, because the systems don't really fit
unless you give it "ignore self inflicted immobilization"
that'd be horribly fucked really
Yes do that so I can crackshot every turn with entire disregard for positionning 
lmao
i just don't like that you give up all of your movement with one flex mount
i honestly just want a tortuga or white witch adjacent HA mech 
Genghis is honestly about as much of a defender as tortuga is
Draladin?
without house guard, size 1, and explodes when allies are close to it
the npc list does call out the pyro as a defender
Wren might be onto something
That something might be cocaine
there are two types of defenders: the ones that stick with allies and the area denial defenders
(sorry)
i think ghengis fits the latter 100%, i'm not arguing that
i just want one that's leaning more to the left but not all the way like saladin
Woe upon ya, Maginot Line plus shields
excuse me, I don't like cocaine. Its a cringe ass drug. There's a reason most cokeheads are insufferable people on and off the drug.
that's fair
honestly Drake with Genghis has been something Ive been debating due to the Auto-Cooler basically ensuring that a enemy is gonna need to shoot the Drake mech once every other turn if they want the Leviathan to stop for a turn to Stabilize
i just like the visual of leading the charge with my team taking cover behind me and using something to take the damage for them :p
genuinely a good idea
unfortunate news Meow. The diagnosis has come back KTB positive
NO
NO PLEASE
DON'T PUT ME IN AN ORCHIS-
nah but there's a few mechs that fit that, my point was i want an HA one like that :p
sounds of meow being sucked in by a vortex of tassels
orchis is double cringe because it's KTB AND SSC
at the same time, that means you'll have a way of soaking attacks that would've gone to your squishier teammates
the worst of both worlds
yeah strategies that force the enemy to target you are great as a defender, it's why the balor is so scary
I think the Orchis is neato
i don't want to play with that low cringe nae nae heat cap
especially not in a weeb mech
a TINY weeb mech
But I also want to pick the monarch because of it's weapons being generally good with the Sharagana missiles being a near direct upgrade to the Concussion Missiles which could and would allow me to use my walking armoery on them more effectively
but i like my weeb mechs...
orchis is based and shieldwallpilled
CHUNKY
love my big men
-# Meow, can i ask a question that might make you very angry?
do it
-# why not just pick the drake and flavor it as a Harrison made frame...
Personally
I do love the slow old Brick wall mechs going against the like new nimble mechs
i just like my tanky boys, like white witch is fast
someone make a size 2 defender sunzi alt and watch meow's brain explode (I have no idea how such a mech would work)
thats the only SSC mech i really vibe with
just my personal preference
abducting people by grappling and teleporting away
The SSc mech i think I vibe with would be the Monarch or Orchis
wait genuinely this would be fire
It seems that, aside from Hipo's players, I'm the only SSC enjoyer here... 
you can already do this, it's just harder being size 1
take synth muscle netting
fomorians be like:
i like all of them too but HA just checks off a lot of boxes for me
my tier list on coolness and how i like them overall is
HA
IPSN
Horus
SSC
i really like playing with heat, it's super fun
I can't agree with that tierlist
IPS-N just hits all the vibes with me personally
for me it's
GMS
Horus
Honestly I can't decide personally. There's some mechs I really like from each although I guess purely in terms of mechs IPSN would be in last place for me (those core bonuses are fire tho!)
as much as i love HA IT has my two least favorite frames: the barb and napoleon
specifically because the napoleon is so cool but come on!!!!
that's not a diss on IPSN to be clear, just someone has to be in last place.
its active sucks!!!!
The bulk and skull of the armory
they really did kind of shit the bed designing barb and napoleon ngl
Like for me My tiers are based on Mechs
Drake
.
.
Caliban
Tortuga
Genghis
Monarch
Barb or Orchis for sixth
the napoleon in theory is my favorite, its just an angry man who refuses to die
and it has really cool systems!
I do like how in theory, the Napoleon with it's main weapon will cause it to have a reactor meltdown before it Structures a Drake
maybe with some hull, but displacer would insta structure a base drake on hit
and the napoleon has base 8 heat cap, not hard to get to 10+
double digit heat cap... 🤤
yuri
OH
reduced to half damage
Leviathan Spin up noises
My favs from each manufacturer are probably:
IPSN: Raleigh, Tortuga.
SSC: Orchis & Black Witch, Swallow/Rangertail, Emperor.
Horus: Calendula & Manticore.
HA: Tagetes, Gilg.
gilg :)
I guess this, by numbers, throws me as an SSC girlie
i Know for one campaign I do want to use the Barb and do a horrible Barb brawler
who up gilging they mesh
Hull plus max Agility
enkidu
omg... and they were roommates...
Every single time the enkidu is mentioned this chat rapidly devolves
vex don't look now
we can't take it
was she the one who mentioned that a few weeks ago i forget
i hate YOU
in another timeline, Eruca would've been the most annoying Orchis Calliope's ever seen
the hooves are alright, i like it more than the bare feet
one of my favourite original npcs in my game (they haven't shown up yet) would be built (if they were a PC) as a TCB Saladin with Gyges frame, agi investment, and pankrati 2. They just charge the point, immobilise themselves, and then just dare you to come take the objective back.
yall i hate being a software dev post 2024, even my god damn youtube recommendations are AI-related
Just to spite you Eruca will now walk on her toes like she has hooves 
an angel lost its wings
i like digitigrade mechs
I prefer the feet (Do not take that out of context) mostly because..... Arent hooves like really unstable if there arent like two pairs of them?
can't you tell :)
i like my mechs Ungulated
"I like digitigrade mechs " she said to the surprise of no one
too late
Kisses
Even the spider mechs they make have hooves
I say this but leo's mech is digitigrade as well
give me more clawed mechs tbh
real
fuck feet, fuck hooves
UNGULATES
Sure one sec
something something wolf and deergirls
NOT AGAIN
This is where it's at. Claws and talons babeeey
I have a pet peeve against the desing of the death heads
It's clear as day someone at SSC has a thing for legs
lesgooo!
some day I want to see a chicken walker mech in lancer
Chicken walker?
FUCK your right!!!!
I ALWAYS AM
But yeah that's a thing i don't like about it
its funny cuz amber phantom has the most normal legs out of SSC iirc
It could have been a spider-mech
But nooooo, someone wanted to be stepped on
what kind of coward designs a mech they can't fuck
Hi
like baba yaga's house or star wars AT-STs
IT HAS NO CIVILIAN PURPOSE, THE LEGS ARW PURELY THE MANUFACTURER DISGUISED FETISH
I think its a scout or somethin
Yeah
but if you look closely you'll see that she still has hooves
NoOOOOOOOOO
"she" 
Lesbian mech
You say that about most women
what if she was a Non-Human Person?
ARE YOU SAYING WOMEN ARENT PEOPLE?
SSC mechs have bold and uncompromising designs for a bright and horny world
maybe for cowards
Damn i got minsconstrued, mejor me mato
If you want to fuck your mech get a horus one, you probably can
TAKE NOTES PANSIES
WOULD
and?
my girlie don't need to wear prada she just gotta get her shit done
I definitely did not mis read pansies for a second 
plus running hot gives better warm hugs
I don't need to lock myself to one aesthetic sensibility. I am free and can thirst over many a mech.
I think this is the hour where the chat gets horny
when do we stop?
hour of the wolf(girl)
you keep tempting fate by saying that
(it follows the hour of the deer(girl))
Stop saying wolf girl
sometimes i feel sad that my character in lancer is more SSC leaning bc i myself is literally horus
pegasus, lich, and literally.... goblin?!?!?!? literally me
eugh
I like to live dangerously
Do not the Lycan
never
never
coward
the lycan will me
i'm trying to go loud
I would never the lycan (until someone shows me some fanart that is cooler than the official art for it)
You can always get the amber phantom and then start getting horus merch
idk if horus fits my egregorian charac
get in the goblin, reverie
usadbghasbdgsah
horus fits anyone really
Isn't in lore that Horus picks you rather than the other way around?
ah
it depends but yeah exactly
well, idk if any frame from horus fits my character, maybe thats the right question
SSC fucked her over the whole time spite them with the funny
that's a more interesting question
no i understand that completely
god I kinda want to see an Egregorian in a size 0.5 mech now
i think im shorter than you lol
just got that thorax hangin out the back or whatever
I think if Jackson was to get a horus mech it would definitly be the Golem mech from lost catalog
Im standard size chilean
i can draw it some time in the future maybe
What about the Pegasus?
There's a build called smartphantom where you use the smartgun and hunter lock to snipe enemies
just look at it. A giant stone mech with a big ass hammer
Reverie is a close and personal kind of killer, but pegasus is great
pegasus why I wish your kit was more interesting because I love you conceptually.
since i saw that pegasus can look like this i cant say no to pegasus anyway
What in the Blue Eyes?!
I lie of course, mimic gun is funny as hell.
it's fucking sick btw
oh fuck it is a yugioh monster
he has a gun
inside the mouth
