[minor orchid]

god I can't wait for me to reach that

[clever cloud]

everything about the Icebreaker is excessive

[minor orchid]

it was were we left

[clever cloud]

i must inform you that BEASH is an original creation of one of my players

for legal reasons

[minor orchid]

Fair fair fair haha

[shell bison]

6 year time sync for IGF

I unironically would be so down

[minor orchid]

x2

Full on Calliope WM

[shell bison]

A series of delivery missions where Charlotte asked you to deliver honey related products to customer in Calliope like it's a mission in Death Stranding

[supple carbon]

that's great

[clever cloud]

no joke i think Mausritter might make for a great system for non mech related stories in calliope

[upbeat hemlock]

If Charlotte wasn't a PC, you think she'd still be making honey?

Just thinking about side-quest content that could be ported into other IGF continuities

[minor orchid]

side quests!

[west phoenix]

I'm loving it, i love just interacting with NPCs and the world as a whole

Best NPCs I've ever seen in a game

[silver pumice]

WAIT HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE ANOTHER PLAYER IN WWNB DID SOME RP MESSAGE BACKREADING AND IT TURNS OUT THAT SAINT, OUR MECH WRESTLER GIRLIE, BROKE IT WE THINK
I COMPLETELY MISSED THAT

[balmy obsidian]

broke what

oh the printer

[shell bison]

I do have an idea as a NPC Charlotte side character. For the game I'm running she is going to (my players don't read)|| replacing the welcome party to the Icebreaker Borealis amd asl them to look into Tarben's disappearance ||

[supple carbon]

brinker prote

[shell bison]

In other games, I can see her being a local small business owner that travels around from place to place offering her services. How does she get there all the time? She hops

actually she's using blink tech but don't tell anyone

I can tell you she would be very influenced by the SRT in your game to finally "Do more" like they have since act 1 and probably get in trouble in act 2

[balmy obsidian]

The serpent is invading my brain again

[minor orchid]

troublebun for act 2

[shell bison]

I know exactly how she gets in trouble but I can not share because act 2 spoilres

[upbeat hemlock]

Where's the bees kept in your timeline?

[balmy obsidian]

(act2) ||fuck steele?||

either that or ||asphodel|| but i think option 1

[upbeat hemlock]

I'd assume that the vast majority of bees in Calliope would be on Impact Plaza and/Furnace city, if they were anywhere

[shell bison]

(act 2 spoiler) ||probably with the civilian fleet against HA and gets arrested or trying to get KTB our of Asphodelian space||

[balmy obsidian]

huh

[shell bison]

probably so, Furnace city is probably where she houses them for safety but she has the best delivery times in the system!

[minor orchid]

oh... (act 2 spoiler) ||the KTB fleet reaches Asphodel space?! ||

[shell bison]

{act 2} ||No, She would either be involved with either or scenario as she has personal reasons to be involved with both. ||

[minor orchid]

Holy-

[shell bison]

Don't ask why she got caught in hot water with ID once for weapons smuggling to outlanders. She was totally not helping people arm themselves against them. I'm just a bunny merchant. don't worry

[clever cloud]

Bees are canonically in Calliope and would definitely be on any station that grows even a bit of food

[shell bison]

[tame tide]

VEnt bees

[minor orchid]

Vent bees

[minor orchid]

I hate my mind for fully visualizing the Calliope Visual novel RPG-

[supple carbon]

[minor orchid]

that spoiler really got me thinking now-

My first girlfriend castigated the enemies of the godhead

[balmy obsidian]

I am looking at team wwnb

My first girlfriend unshackled herself

[balmy obsidian]

"My first girlfriend became a god"
"god i wish that were me"

"My first... actually I haven't had time for that-" Lucero, probably

[west phoenix]

Archie core?

[minor orchid]

Archie core it seems

[balmy obsidian]

which one is archie

"both"

[west phoenix]

Wel- yeah

They're not a "girl" despite the constant misgendering but both fits

[minor orchid]

guess we making Archies now

[balmy obsidian]

• Roman engineers

[west phoenix]

I genuinely don't know what would happen if you clone Archie

Do you just get an Athena? Do you get a mix of all of them?

[minor orchid]

double the chaos

[balmy obsidian]

WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME I'M RIGHT

[west phoenix]

The femboy roman being like "we gotta make archies uwu :3"

[minor orchid]

dear god haha

[hybrid salmon]

maybe i need an igf blorbo

[west phoenix]

make one! they're fun even if you don't plan to use them

hell i was just thinking of a blorbo; an HA soldier who was stationed in calliope and waiting to hear that they're gonna be sent off to dawnline shore aaaannnnyyyy day now (it never happens)

[minor orchid]

You damn should, Quill

and once everyone hace their blorbo

The Arena Begins

[hybrid salmon]

bat screm

[west phoenix]

what are the rules to this arena

[minor orchid]

Standard Mech-Fighting Circuit rules

[west phoenix]

well serenity lost instantly

[minor orchid]

nOOOOOO

[noble ivy]

just make an alliance with every other girlfailure in calliope
-# and then blink charge them to the eeby deeby at the end

[west phoenix]

killing anyone (with a few exceptions) makes serenity sad, much less other girlfailures. can we call a truce?

[hybrid salmon]

tournament strategy note: make a girlfailure

[noble ivy]

of course you can

[west phoenix]

her whole build is support lmao

I mean... you don't fight to dead in the circuit(?)

[clever cloud]

Zeus moment

[clever cloud]

FoxgirlSuccess thank you very much!

[west phoenix]

true my b

[minor orchid]

Foxgirl success!

[hybrid salmon]

yeah, mine's the foxgirlfailure

[west phoenix]

relatable

[minor orchid]

don't worry, she'll succeed

[supple carbon]

she wont

[minor orchid]

If Lucy succeeded, you can too!

[noble ivy]

don't listen to the amphibian
believe in the girlfailure that believes in you

[hybrid salmon]

she doesn't have a goal or a personality yet

[west phoenix]

haha me neither

[minor orchid]

tf is a goal?

[noble ivy]

-# transformation is a perfectly fine goal

[minor orchid]

SSC helping tf goals

[hybrid salmon]

if you squint they're almost benevolent

[supple carbon]

that explains why they put LEGS on every mech

[clever cloud]

look, all im saying is that I too would sell my principles to the first corpro that gives me a tail

[west phoenix]

real

i'd sell my principles for a lot of things

[clever cloud]

however, gay space communist tail mods are also acceptable

[minor orchid]

gay communist tail mods

[supple carbon]

why sell your principles when you can auction them, Think Meow Think

[minor orchid]

for a Catgirl Sekhmet?

[west phoenix]

i think people don't really know how bad some people have it, unfortunately selling your principles is the most common way to change that

[west phoenix]

of course that

[west phoenix]

this is why i think HA is my favorite faction, especially the purview, if things really suck and some morally grey faction shows up and can make your life better i feel like it makes a lot of sense why people would go "sure why not"

[minor orchid]

Look Quill, I have the Asphodelian, make a Mrózian

[supple carbon]

principles are good, but they are indeed a privilege sadly

[minor orchid]

and you get to artic fox mod

https://tenor.com/view/arctic-fox-derpy-gif-10411408

[supple carbon]

that's why i buy cheap-off brand principles

[west phoenix]

its just a narrative topic thats really relatable to me

its also one of the most interesting aspects of calliope. things are tough, people gotta make compromises

[clever cloud]

a service worker in our current day and age relates to the woes of cyberpunk dystopia and the false dream of corporate safety?!

[supple carbon]

that's not worrying at all

[west phoenix]

and its why no matter how naïve serenity is i, the player, can't really roleplay that when it comes to that lol

[west phoenix]

i realized this 10 years ago, or longer probably

my dumbass should have just lived with my awful parents to get some kind of degree instead of locking myself in the workforce

[supple carbon]

i too would work for HA if they offered a comfortable life

hell, i don't think i know a person who wouldn't accept an offer for a straight up better life

[west phoenix]

people who have decent lives who act like they wouldn't if things were worse :p

[hybrid salmon]

yeah, that's a mood...

(the way my unemployment is going i might not be able to resist genai soon :( )

[west phoenix]

i see that a lot, especially in the lancer community. seems like everyone but a few has some kind of great, stable job and then uses that to act like they have the moral high ground

[clever cloud]

people act like they wouldnt act like this right now

[hybrid salmon]

i'm only in this position because my last job was great and stable, until it wasn't

[west phoenix]

i love the lancer, i love the community, but some people really don't understand how poverty and that kind of struggle works

and i know people are hopemaxing but the "hard work can let you achieve anything!" i'm like damn i wish. i'd be set. is hard work gonna pay my bills so i can work towards my goals?

sorry i promise this isn't just doomposting i really like exploring this in a narrative sense

[minor orchid]

-# Hard work just to keep going

[minor orchid]

nono, you are more than fair, it's all good

[hybrid salmon]

-# yeah... and now my spoons are gone so "hard work" feels too hard for me...
i might be being whiny but this is my current moment struggle

[supple carbon]

that's valid

[west phoenix]

nah i feel that. i've been putting a lot of work into my hobbies but i think as not fun as it would be i kind of wish i had the chance to put that work into something that would make my life better

well, the hobbies do make my life better, i love my fwens and playing with them and want to give them the best i can

[willow needle]

hard work can let you achieve anything if the world was fair

its best to just think to do your best everyday, even if your best one day look like less than the minimum of a good day

[west phoenix]

thats real shit

[minor orchid]

-# each day counts...

[west phoenix]

anyways sorry i didn't intend for it to go in that direction

[minor orchid]

[balmy obsidian]

I thought Meow was just suddenly enthusiasted by the concept of authority figures in places of education

[west phoenix]

nah most of them suck

[clever cloud]

all of them

[balmy obsidian]

alas

[supple carbon]

force of habit

[west phoenix]

a side module(?), project(?) i've been working on focuses on this and what if that safety net was suddenly swept underneath you

[supple carbon]

interesting

[west phoenix]

it's taken a backseat due to me kind of crunching into wallflower between my chapter 3 rework and completely original act 2 lmao

[willow needle]

god i want to play wallflower sm

[west phoenix]

i've already spoiled so much for you

if i knew that i would have kept my mouth shut

[willow needle]

its fine

i tend to read the last pages of any book before i start reading it

[supple carbon]

i can hit nana with a hammer so she forgets

[west phoenix]

you should not read the last pages of wallflower as a player please

[clever cloud]

"and then everyone died, the end"

[west phoenix]

or read it in general

[willow needle]

no, ofc if i were to become a player of a wallflower campaign i would stop seeing spoilers

afterall all i was after was the lore dump of egregorians, nothing more, i have no idea about anything else in the book

[west phoenix]

most of it has just been egregorian history and stuff for you

i did mention a lot about certain factions tho

[willow needle]

dont worry my autism is way too strong so i forgot everything else about wallflower that isnt directly related to egregorians

(if i was hyperfixated with the whole book, now, i would absorb all its info like a sponge)

[supple carbon]

nana has forgotten a lot of stuff

names, locations

etc

[west phoenix]

honestly naana i would like another player and you're cool, i'd definitely consider it if it works out

but thats a lot to ask so i get it, don't stress over it much

[willow needle]

-# im flattered but im shy af

[clever cloud]

you'll looove Roland

[west phoenix]

idk if you have the type of social anxiety autism

YEAH LOL

I KNEW IT

[willow needle]

HHASHDASH

[noble ivy]

-# bird got read like a book

[west phoenix]

i get it. it took everything for me to join wren's game and to even meet a player i've never met in eleonor's game

[willow needle]

im extremely transparent, it isnt hard to read me :>

[west phoenix]

quite literally takes one to know one

i have really bad social anxiety when it comes to vc and irl social interactions

[clever cloud]

we are a good bunch

[noble ivy]

its a goddamn miracle i got brave enough to ask bunzi if he still neds a player...

[west phoenix]

and like, even something like wren's game makes me scared a lot

[willow needle]

tbh speaking my mind, i would need a game session as an icebreaker, something like repo or phasmophobia

[west phoenix]

i understand

[balmy obsidian]

-# I'm not entirely sure how and why I started hopemaxing in IGF but I dunno I guess it felt appropriate?

[west phoenix]

no i like hopemaxing in igf, don't get me wrong

[noble ivy]

-# hope maxing is lancercore

[clever cloud]

hopemaxxing is core to lancer and IGF especially

[west phoenix]

it's a matter of things can change for the better with my support, i feel like i'd be the same irl if that were the case

and serenity is like, peak hopemaxer :p

[hybrid salmon]

fuck

yeah

social anxiety

a

[supple carbon]

i mean hopemaxxing in igf makes sense, the people there have it bad, but not hopeless bad

[west phoenix]

honestly the problem here is that no one fucking plays videogames in that group lmao

[willow needle]

tbh im disgustingly hopemaxxing irl because
1- it saved my life (long story)
2- keeps me sane and happy (im deeply depressed, i cant give in)

[west phoenix]

i play like, thousands of hours of risk of rain. eleonor plays grandma games

[clever cloud]

I play "standard operating procedure" simulator

[hybrid salmon]

it's too easy to lock myself away and id on't know if i can apply myself like this but i probably should

[supple carbon]

plants vs zombies kind of grandma game or?

[west phoenix]

worse

[supple carbon]

damn

[west phoenix]

her ideal game is "doing nothing"

like i can do that irl why do i want to do that in a game

[clever cloud]

no no, flight sims, and other "this is just a job irl" games

[supple carbon]

why

[noble ivy]

Honestly, IGF helped me out of a depressive spiral last year

both with its writing and the amazing community we have here

[willow needle]

what!!!! not even chess? or monopoly? uno? or sudoku??
-# like i play all of those im literally down for almost anything

[west phoenix]

god juli you have no idea

[clever cloud]

I adore procedures

[formal gale]

Ahh what I call dad games

[west phoenix]

group uno could be so fucking funny

we should do that and bully bella

[clever cloud]

i play a ton of chess (not great) and sudoku (since i was like 8)

[west phoenix]

them getting annoyed fuels me

[balmy obsidian]

Play Uno with me I will purposefully draw as much cards as possible

[willow needle]

i love sudoku, i started playing it like 2 months ago but now i do one daily

its so fun

[supple carbon]

nana is a grandma at heart sometimes

[hybrid salmon]

i tried to get back into it once at least
i guess i was never all that "into it"
i know it's probably better than what i'm doing

[west phoenix]

eleonor and i's group is really funny because it's like, 2-3 weirdos (me, eleonor, and an igf player who isn't in wallflower) and then normal people

i'm always amazed at how normal kugel and bella are

dude im the nerd that loves simulation stuff or resource managment stuff like jurassic park shit

well actually i like a ton of stuff but

[supple carbon]

why don't you simulate yourself some

[west phoenix]

i like tycoon games, and especially zoo building games

as you know :p

[clever cloud]

if you'd join, we'd definitely get along

however, Roland....

[willow needle]

my range goes from "boring" sudoku to nerding out a bazillion stats in resource managment in simulation games to getting perfect scores first try in ultrakill levels

[balmy obsidian]

i had roller coaster tyccoon 3 but the onyl reason I played it was to build rollercoasters and then ride them in first person cam. The management aspect was entirely lost on me.

[west phoenix]

i mean we knew us 3 get along, i really doubt the others wouldn't get along

[willow needle]

[hybrid salmon]

i guess i kinda like 4x, and weird visual novel things

[west phoenix]

2/3 are really quiet and 1 is dumb as hell

[supple carbon]

Nana overtook me in ultrakill on her first week playing it and i still haven't forgiven her

[west phoenix]

the bastard man

[balmy obsidian]

Ultrakill you say

[willow needle]

also wait

[minor orchid]

oh no

not the ultrakill

[willow needle]

RISK OF RAIN!?!?"!!"?"!?!"?"!?"!?

DUDE I WANT TO PLAY MORE RISK OF RAIN

[minor orchid]

and it's official

we lost them

[supple carbon]

nana got activated like a sleeper agent

eleonor really took not playing a self insert by playing the hardest to play character possible by being the worst

[willow needle]

i have a grabriel plush

[west phoenix]

easily my most played game (i thought i had more hours tbh)

[clever cloud]

you know what i absolutely adore that i havent heard anyone talk about? sentence structure diagrams

[willow needle]

lemme go get a photo

[tame tide]

My most played game is fucking garry's mod

[west phoenix]

i really just play on eclipse 8 exclusively but the game is fun to play in any way

[minor orchid]

...

[balmy obsidian]

what gary's mod?

[west phoenix]

i know what you are

[minor orchid]

I won't talk about the most played games-

[willow needle]

oh but is it the first or the second? i dont have the first sadly, only the second :3

[clever cloud]

this is a complement

[west phoenix]

its the 2nd

the 2nd is infinitely better and i like the first game

[west phoenix]

it was meant to be!

[minor orchid]

Riesgo de Lluvia

[balmy obsidian]

Possibility of precipitation

[minor orchid]

PISSIBILITY

[willow needle]

lets goooo i really wanna play that one more, im close to unlocking the artificier :c (didnt play that much sadly cuz i prefer in coop)

[west phoenix]

i don't get to be a player often so my characters definitely have a bit of 'self insert' issues, but i don't think it's to an annoying degree

arti is just lunar coins right?

[supple carbon]

i don't like that type of rain man

[willow needle]

wait people dont do self insert in their own characters?

i thought that was the whole idea

[balmy obsidian]

No, I would never

[west phoenix]

yes you would

[balmy obsidian]

You have no proof

[supple carbon]

just a bit, as a treat

[minor orchid]

look

[willow needle]

yea

[west phoenix]

no no i mean like, it just reflects the personality of the player

[minor orchid]

only once

and you know who is

[clever cloud]

Roland is meant to be the total opposite of me. What's the name for the opposite of a self-insert?

[minor orchid]

opposite-insert?

[west phoenix]

other-removal

[balmy obsidian]

self extract??

[minor orchid]

anti-insert?

[minor orchid]

Self extract Deez

[willow needle]

other-centered i think its the correct name

[supple carbon]

why remove ott?

VOICES OF THE VOID MENTION

[balmy obsidian]

Forged evidence

[supple carbon]

damn Juli had proof

[willow needle]

holy shit 185cm tall

[west phoenix]

thats one of the few games i could play recently, votv is so fucking funny

[minor orchid]

sigdiving for the truth

[noble ivy]

you're not the only historian in this thread, bozo

[west phoenix]

juli i need the yuraoi pic again

what wren said earlier reminded me of it

[balmy obsidian]

god fucking damn

[noble ivy]

bonus meme included

[west phoenix]

but yeah naana if you're interested or just want to play ror2 or something you can dm me

[willow needle]

[minor orchid]

Your dms will be obliterated

[supple carbon]

i will annoy nana into doing it if she hesitates

[west phoenix]

IT WAS THIS

she is allowed to hesitate trust me i get it lol

[last leaf]

The real printer breaker was the friends we made along the way

[supple carbon]

oh right we were talking about the printer a while ago

[last leaf]

I need to play more ror2 tbh

[clever cloud]

no, this is a physical threat

[west phoenix]

no bully!!!!

~~thats gonna be hard we bully the rest of the party ~~

[tame tide]

VOTC MENTION

Votv*

[supple carbon]

minor spelling mistake

[west phoenix]

its one of the best games i've ever played and its not even finished

i have never been terrified and laughing until my tummy hurts at the same time

[tame tide]

Power word piss yourself

[last leaf]

in all seriousness i think someone had a good suggestion as to how it broke but i forgot to write it down so now im saying BARTENDER MOTHERFUCKER did it

[west phoenix]

NOOOOOOOOO

he would never

[noble ivy]

I would probably play way more of it if i didn't have the courage of a wet hamster...

[west phoenix]

its genuinely scary

Voices of the COC-

[west phoenix]

call of cthulhu?

[last leaf]

he would tbh...

[west phoenix]

HE IS PERFECT

[tame tide]

You know the meme of like, that person dancing and shit and then they stop and it zooms into a close up of over their shoulder. I feel like you could have that, you can be cleaning your house, doing your job, cooking and slice of life simulator then it pauses and zooms in to the glitching pause screen

[minor orchid]

haha coc

[balmy obsidian]

I only know of votv because of someone in my group catching brainworms like it's chocolate eggs hidden in the garden during easter

[tame tide]

VOTV is so good

I am not really into horror gam,es but it's funny how much I've realised i have a soft immunity to them now... I think that is somewhat at fault of VOTV

[last leaf]

what is VOTV

[tame tide]

Voices of the void

[west phoenix]

https://youtu.be/jHKD3w-fQGc?si=Y0yWqjfvW7rVAJqr
i don't think this is a spoiler since you can't tell what the fuck is happening but let me know if it is

[tame tide]

Basically you are a scientist in the swiss alps and you have to run a like... One of those bigg radar dish stations to listen to audio signals from outer space

And you have to do basic maintenance of the place and the satellite dishes

It's kinda slice of life, it's just you in this massive mountain valley

[last leaf]

oh interesting

[tame tide]

It's free on Itch and I heavily recommmend

[west phoenix]

its genuinely one of the funniest games i've ever played

[balmy obsidian]

I know it has cat girls

[west phoenix]

every fucking session i had was gut bustingly hilarious

[balmy obsidian]

question mark

[tame tide]

It is a perfect example of a horror game that abuses the fear of what could be rather than what is, a lot of horror games suffer from forcing scares and engagingg with it whereas a majority of the scary bits of VOTV you can just avoid but that's boring... Because that makes it worse (scarier)

[noble ivy]

[VOTV spoiler] ||invisible ones that beat you to death with hammers||

[tame tide]

It also has a surprising amount of funny bullshit

[last leaf]

doesn't seem necessarily my thing but I'm glad you guys enjoy it

[west phoenix]

everything about votv in theory sounds like something i would hate

i got into it because of the memes and clips of funny shit

[last leaf]

also Im not going to grab another horrorish game when I haven't even played the last one I grabbed yet

[west phoenix]

oh yeah you can just upload your own artwork and videos to play on TV too

[tame tide]

I was looking through my VOTV clips

I keep playing hunter the parenting on my PLASMA TV

In game

[west phoenix]

idk what that is al

[tame tide]

Also amazing

[balmy obsidian]

I love HtP

[tame tide]

Basically What if the emperor had a text to speech device ggot shut down by games workshop so they made something I'd argue is better set in world of darkness

[balmy obsidian]

If you've heard of the fabled series "If the Emperor had a Text to Speech device" otherwise known as "What if WH40k was good" it's the same people

[west phoenix]

i covered my base with neco arc and hatsune miku and had pure brainrot on the TV at any given time

[balmy obsidian]

They also do norfolk wizard game which

[noble ivy]

Its a shame that james workshop basically killed If the Emperor had a Text to Speech device

but at the same time hunter the parenting has some of the best character and comedic writing I've ever seen

[balmy obsidian]

Which reminds me I can put Sybil on Invader's character inspiration chart

[west phoenix]

i just had a funny idea of reverie's character inspiration chart being various species of moths

[last leaf]

its not?

[west phoenix]

idk yet!

[willow needle]

[minor orchid]

it's...

it's all moth?

[west phoenix]

always has been

[last leaf]

always has been

fuck, beat me to it

[west phoenix]

L+Ratio+skissue+no bitches

[formal gale]

All moth all the time how's it going gaters? Morning to yall

[last leaf]

I can always make archie's backstory worse

[minor orchid]

oh dear

[west phoenix]

don't care, they have bitches

[minor orchid]

we had... phew

lots of stuff going on

[west phoenix]

sunzi artillery

speaking of sunzi my build is looking like it's going to lean in the direction of emperor at LL4+ because i can just put buffs and overshield on the balor

[noble ivy]

the balor hyper carry...

[west phoenix]

pretty much lol

everyone is self sufficient, i really just use leader and field analyst on them

[last leaf]

emperor is a criminally underrated license ngl (not the mech itself, people rave enough about that)

[west phoenix]

final secret on a balor is really funny

shoot it? its coming towards you. don't shoot it? it heals

your move

[last leaf]

true...

[formal gale]

More bun posting?

[last leaf]

some day I should comm art of my balor that's just made from shards of mirrors

[west phoenix]

walk of kings on a balor sounds crazy good

[clever cloud]

jen, imagine nana joining our WF campaign as a moth....

[west phoenix]

that would uh... disrupt things

[last leaf]

honestly all the emp stuff sounds amazing on balor

[west phoenix]

yeah, shahnameh as well...

[last leaf]

shanameh on a balor patches up the frame's main weakness

[west phoenix]

it counters the balor's biggest weakness. we also have a sysop kidd that helps a lot

[last leaf]

honestly I think shanameh might be the best buff (that can be put on allies( in the game

[west phoenix]

real

and with a high eng and ammo feeds core i would have a few

[last leaf]

sure it costs 3 but holy goddamn

and its only ll2???

[west phoenix]

its incredibly strong

let me whip up a build real quick...

i don't think the bolt nexus would be good on my build centered around not attacking enemies lol

[last leaf]

I love the high engi builds that end up reaching that critical mass of limited charge systems that they can just spam them willy nilly because they've got so many that their primary limitation is action economy.

[west phoenix]

the sunzi is so expensive

[tame tide]

Everest stays winning

[west phoenix]

you say that but eleonor said she's going to throw 7 combats at us with no full repair

[tame tide]

Everests are free

I keep printing them

I have 17 Everests in my storage locker in the gate

they're actually raptor 4's with GMS logos scribbled on them

[noble ivy]

ew

[last leaf]

@vast zealot waiter waiter, another raptor-4 please

[formal gale]

What steele doesn't know WILL hurt him

[balmy obsidian]

I love GMS

[willow needle]

oh random question

is it plausible that a Chomolungma in the hands of SSC, for missions etc, is covered in SSC symbology or its called a "SSC version"?

[last leaf]

argh why does the mourning cloak of all things get my fav invade module in the game

[tame tide]

Yes

[balmy obsidian]

yeah you can be working for ssc and pilot a gms frame that's 100% more than fine

[tame tide]

So my group has an Impact Dynamics black kite amongg the party

[balmy obsidian]

I remember that

[tame tide]

What is an Impact Dynamics black kite? It's just a ghengis mk1 in stats but not flavour

But they stole it from ID

[supple carbon]

damn

[balmy obsidian]

"Chief it's pissing radiation everywhere"
"Eh fuck it call it a feature and release it, we gotta grow potatoes now"

[tame tide]

Pixel made me a token for it, it's beautiful :3

[tame tide]

YEP lmao

[west phoenix]

your mechs can look like anything tbh

[tame tide]

So having an SSC GMS mech could totally be viable

[noble ivy]

-# "Cheif, why did we make a mech that pisses..."

[west phoenix]

here is a kobold barb

[formal gale]

Whats the naming scheme if any?

[balmy obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/bird-tf2-heavy-tf2heavy-tf2-heavy-gif-10792790425026384208

[tame tide]

That ^

[tame tide]

Call it the... SSC Uuuh googles moth names

[balmy obsidian]

I don't know what the actual naming scheme is if there is any but my GM told me it was birds

[willow needle]

oh no yeah, i know that, i mean if a company like SSC would have a "version" from another mech company like GMS. we roleplayed that the Chomo of reverie was a "SSC version" with SSC symbols (altho they were removed)

[tame tide]

I think another naming scheme would be Dinosaurs because that's what Steele thought they were named after that

[supple carbon]

removed before or after the streamer?

[west phoenix]

thats... not... a dinosaur

[tame tide]

This is not canon, it's just me saying it lmao

[balmy obsidian]

-# NERD

[west phoenix]

must i remind you of synapsid evolution juli???

[tame tide]

Dinosaurs would kick ass as a naming scheme tho

But I don't think ID deserve it

[willow needle]

omg are we nerding abour prehistoric lifeforms

[noble ivy]

don't you quote the sacred texts at me

[formal gale]

Oh sure al I know. Just saying it makes sense

I would have said ID mechs would be named after crops but that's cuz I forgot they did the military stuff BEFORE the food

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POST SOMETHING LIKE THAT NAANA LMAO

brb gonna go make an SSC manticore called the SSC Brimstone and then make it a defensive tank/support in honour of the brimstone butterfly being the most innocuous lil guy to ever be called brimstone

Eat your heart out IPS-N stay in your fucking lane

holy shit terrifying

[balmy obsidian]

This is a leaf

[formal gale]

Moff my beloved

[west phoenix]

i don't really vibe with making new manufacturers

[last leaf]

I can find other pics where they look leafier even

[west phoenix]

my biggest turn off for any homebrew is just seeing a new manufacturer with like 8 new mechs and core bonuses

[supple carbon]

im not gonna send the gif this time

[balmy obsidian]

I mean, usually so do I but then I made 3 whole mechs and I was like "well shit"

[supple carbon]

damn

[formal gale]

Admirable restraint frog lmao

[west phoenix]

i would just make all of my homebrew HA

they already peaked

[last leaf]

do you really want me to try and cook it up?

[balmy obsidian]

They peaked because they have low potential so they can't go higher

[supple carbon]

YOU CALL THEM PEAK BUT THEY..... no you right, they have the Tagetes

[west phoenix]

thats not true i have made two custom SSC frames they are for a wallflower supplement

[balmy obsidian]

TAGETES IS RKF

[last leaf]

I haven't done homebrew mech design in a while but I can if you want...

[west phoenix]

up to you

[balmy obsidian]

YOU FOOL YOU FELL FOR IT

[west phoenix]

the RKF isn't real

[balmy obsidian]

The RKF is real

[west phoenix]

show me where they are on the manufacturer list?

[formal gale]

I quite like homebrew manufacturers so long as they have consistent/ interesting lore behind them. Though... I think it was liminal space adding 3 entire mfgs in one homebrew is a bit much

[west phoenix]

oooooh, riiiiiiight

they copied greatness. common KTB L

[minor orchid]

Tagetes?

why don't you manufacture yourself some-

[last leaf]

he was then an orphan after SSC's copyright lawyers got to his parents.

[last leaf]

Lancer 2

[balmy obsidian]

Well actually the Tagetes's only relation to the Sherman is that it was made to be better than the Sherman since the KTB and HA are butting heads on the frontlines, it was made solely as a colaboration of the KCC and a collective of Ispahsalari designers.

[west phoenix]

they do deserve their own licenses and manufacturer in lancer 2

i mean the KTB SUCKS!

[balmy obsidian]

Literally made to be a superior sherman

can the sherman turn the Andromeda Pattern Heavy Laser Rifle into a Rifle? I think the fuck not
But Tagetes can
Literally fixing HA's mistakes

[minor orchid]

come on

it can't be that bad

[west phoenix]

can the tagetes stay in nuke cav range?

[last leaf]

i think they're actually the one most qualified to tbh

[west phoenix]

youch???

[balmy obsidian]

Yes it can it's got heat clear for itself and it's allies

[supple carbon]

Nonbinary yaoi or something

[balmy obsidian]

It's called y i

It was a bit up ago

[west phoenix]

i know what it is, the name bothers me

[clever cloud]

roland would enable every single bad impulse archi has just to gain favors and then hold each favor against you like a sword

[west phoenix]

simple stabilize and stay in the danger zone

[noble ivy]

would you prefer yippie?

[balmy obsidian]

Stabilizing is a loss of actions Imma do it as a protocol thx

[west phoenix]

i do really love the design of the tagetes tho, i love frames that make loading weapons fun

[west phoenix]

not me thats why i just stress myself

I think i am

not until you start taking estrogen you aint

"While benefiting from this soft cover, you and allied characters may clear 1d3+1 heat as a protocol. "
The heat clear is the protocol you fool

[west phoenix]

AFTER you stabilize?

[balmy obsidian]

bet

[west phoenix]

hhmmmmmmm????/

honestly i should play a sherman so my goofy ass would actually stabilize

[balmy obsidian]

<- never stabilizes

[west phoenix]

yeah well you're a baby that never gains heat or takes any risks

[noble ivy]

-# Are we finally putting the force in forcefem??!?

[west phoenix]

[last leaf]

black thumb and get your pilot to clear heat for you

i don't have the points for that

[balmy obsidian]

I mean, if you don't overcharge why do you have an engine in the firstplace?

[west phoenix]

i paid for the WHOLE reactor

[balmy obsidian]

No because Disney's lawyer's will be on your ass if you do that

[last leaf]

now you're talking like a tokugawa player

[west phoenix]

honestly i just want heatfall coolant systems in any build

[noble ivy]

WHY DISNEY???

[balmy obsidian]

I overcharge three times in the first combat of every mission without fail

Disney because Force is star wars and star wars is disney

[west phoenix]

i also like builds with limited systems too much. sunzi, iskander, gilgamesh...

[clever cloud]

F = ma
QUICK! Someone contact the disney lawyers!!

[last leaf]

I simply do not need to take actions. I am free. I am happy. I can live within my means.

That heat is being stored for higher purposes (like spamming saladin abilities)

Heatcap my beloved

[west phoenix]

honestly the hardest part about playing a gorgon in your campaign wren is gonna be the yee yee ass heat cap

scylla and that exotic assault cannon you gave me is gonna cook me lmao

i hate having a low heat cap

[balmy obsidian]

What heatcap do you have?

[minor orchid]

Gorgon has base 5

not bad not worst(?

[west phoenix]

with the sunzi only the base 7 because i need systems
also 7 with 1 eng with the big sag, not quite at the gorgon yet

gorgon will also be 7

thats WITH eng

[west phoenix]

baby numbers

Nono, this is the IGF chat

this is totally related

In Hipo's game i think we will take a while before we make a name

[west phoenix]

i think chapter 2 is a safe spot to feel stuff out

both of my games have created a name around the same point

just from riffing mostly

[balmy obsidian]

Chapter 2 is where we got our name from

[west phoenix]

"Jerry's Dream Team" and "Creative Solutions"

[balmy obsidian]

though it didn't get "canonized" (?) until midway through chapter 3

[minor orchid]

so you too got the name around late ch1-early ch2?!

heck

[west phoenix]

my wallflower gang is okay with just being called "lancers" and i don't like it

[supple carbon]

0 whimsy

[minor orchid]

Don't worry

they will hate it

eventually

[balmy obsidian]

You've gotta threaten them with a stupid name that will follow them forever if they don't pick one

[supple carbon]

Did they do some stupid thing? Make that their name?

[minor orchid]

indeed

part of the fun

or at worst? get temporary!

you're a genius...

yea dont stress it

[supple carbon]

Yeah right? At most we are newcomers and that isn't all that good of a name

it was all that strider. that guy deserves a promotion and instead he just got incinerated

the one strider we didnt incarcerate

[balmy obsidian]

AIR FRESHENERS CAUSE ALZHEIMERS I KNEW IT

[vast zealot]

not to inflate my ego even more but I do deeply love what we cooked up for the Wyrm license.
Line weapons my beloved :D

[noble ivy]

my core memories leaking out my ears just because i wanted my room to smell like lavender:

[west phoenix]

i do like your wyrm gavin

[minor orchid]

but your room smells like lavander!

[west phoenix]

its really cool

we had like, opposite ideas

you created a safe artillery frame and mine just fucking runs at you and blows up

[clever cloud]

hey... yall know why air freshners were so fucking instense? smoking... people smoking in cars.. people smoking everywhere

[west phoenix]

yes

i hate smoking

[clever cloud]

people smoking in the mcdonalds playplace

[west phoenix]

i cannot be near any of it

[balmy obsidian]

Both my parents smoke and cigarette smoke tends to give me headaches

[clever cloud]

i get nauseous with most air fresheners

[west phoenix]

same leo

i haven't lived with them in like 10 years tho

uuuugh there's other stuff i should work on but now i have the brain worms to work on that license idea i had

[vast zealot]

having playtested it, it is only 'safe' if you remain well away from the enemy. Otherwise you're in a lot of trouble

[vast zealot]

go for it, it sounds awesome :D

[west phoenix]

i NEED an offensive HA defender, i've been sitting on this idea for a while

[noble ivy]

-# worldkiller mk1 is right there, Meow

[west phoenix]

i need one that actually provides defense

[last leaf]

ive got ideas for a terrain focused ww alt rn

[west phoenix]

[west phoenix]

bro flashed his big naturals

[noble ivy]

-# what about the Southeast Asian wizard?

[ancient crag]

still wacks me out how Gandalf and the Balrog are just the same thing

[clever cloud]

h-how?

[balmy obsidian]

One of them's hot

[willow needle]

both are angels! said in the most simplest of ways

[west phoenix]

and it ain't the balrog

[balmy obsidian]

What are you talking about
The Balrog is literally on fire

[vast zealot]

I'm currently working on a very silly frogge mech based around grappling and eating other mechs (including your allies). It's not good or balanced but it is funny

[minor orchid]

mmm frog of mechs

[west phoenix]

frogge

[supple carbon]

I though it was gonna be the naked variant that nana sends me sometimes and got scared

[ancient crag]

they are both Maia, Gandalf sent in the Istri form from Eluvitar (Believe thats how you spelled it) and put under strict conditions whilst the Balrog is a Maia servant/warrior for this world's satan figure: Morgoth

[west phoenix]

size 3 speed 2

bro is fuckin STRUGGLING

[ancient crag]

WHAT

[willow needle]

https://tenor.com/view/gandalf-old-man-naked-take-robe-off-funny-gif-17224126

[last leaf]

bro is hoppin actually

[ancient crag]

curse

hell

[west phoenix]

nvm i see that this dude can just fucking yeet itself

[ancient crag]

Saruman and Sauron are closer to being brothers then anything

[supple carbon]

Frog mech?

[ancient crag]

they both served under the Father of Dwarves Mahal

[vast zealot]

yeah the intended gameplan is you load up on allies and then use the hopping system to yeet yourself over to the objective. Then you hold the location

[west phoenix]

bro saw a battletaxi and decided nah, battletoad

[supple carbon]

Damn battletoads are OLD old

[west phoenix]

thats your great grandpa

[supple carbon]

I believe it

[west phoenix]

also reading through this means that if you swallow a ghengis and use your active it can just explode

i know it doesn't have to, but it is a really funny visual

like a cartoon character eating a bomb

[vast zealot]

yeah the Genghis AoE becomes your AoE because swallowed characters occupy same spaces as you

its very silly

[west phoenix]

wait it becomes a size 3 burst 1???

[vast zealot]

I have no idea if the frame is completely useless or utterly cracked tbh

[west phoenix]

i mean its a battle taxi, those are really cool

there's a reason why so many builds turn into battle taxis

[balmy obsidian]

Everybody loves a party bus

[vast zealot]

it works a lot better than a lancaster stack

[west phoenix]

then that means its fucking good lol

[minor orchid]

Beegcaster

[supple carbon]

Damn
