Would a bloodfiend be taxed for using a hardblood gun?

[stoic fjord]

I don't think the projectiles would be legally classified as bullets?

[cloud wadi]

Blood is part of your body

Launching parts of your body at the enemy is legal and not taxed

Also since blood serves as currency for the bloodfiends using blood in such a manner would probably be a hard sell for them

Notably no bloodfiend actually uses their blood magic in a way that renders the blood not recoverable by them

[cosmic gorge]

Playing with their food...

[cloud wadi]

They seem to prefer melee both so that they can reabsorb their spent blood and also to drain the enemy of their blood

[stoic fjord]

what about the canto 7 spirit bomb

[cloud wadi]

Actually no

Not quite true

Don Quixote uses a bow

[stoic fjord]

...wait, he does?

[stoic fjord]

ohhhh

[cloud wadi]

She uses a bow when she copies Bari’s moves

[gentle mulch]

he lowk dont gaf

end this juvenile dream

[stoic fjord]

she is noted to be highly skilled at making blood weapons

[cloud wadi]

It’s also possible that yeah

Most bloodfiends don’t have the coordination required to launch projectiles with accuracy

Using blood magic

Even for bloodfiends famed for using blood crafted weapons most of their weapons are uh

Kinda crude looking

Yeah

[faint pivot]

Didn't DDQ nail the horses though?

[cloud wadi]

Sancho ‘s the only one who really does detail work for n blood weapons

[faint pivot]

Hm well

Okay

[stoic fjord]

still kinda blobby imo

[faint pivot]

DDQ could've done the horses better yeah LMAO

Just remembered the fucking

[cloud wadi]

Ddq does architecture really well though

[stoic fjord]

mhm

[cloud wadi]

And horses

[faint pivot]

And color

[stoic fjord]

how does an mf get teal from blood

[faint pivot]

No idea how you'd get blood to show that palette yea

[faint pivot]

Considering City tech and whatnot...I have a feeling that it's not just their looks that are better

If a mere 30 days is enough to send Xichun and Sinclair that far through Just training, I'm willing to bet that DQ's hardblood weapons have that City style in them too (not to mention how they're made through literal magic)

[cloud wadi]

We stayed in godforsaken h corp long enough that the nest guardsmen started thinking we were Xichun’s courtiers

||okay, so, still thinking about Hong Lu just neutralizing Lævateinn with his E.G.O.||

How did our boy do thaf

[keen palm]

Water puts out the fire

[stoic fjord]

Right but that's like. A relic.

Surely it's not normal fire

[keen palm]

Got hot

Water is cold

Water put out hot

[stoic fjord]

Ok

[keen palm]

I actually didnt notice he did that in the fight tbh

He just did 2 damage and I was like

"Thanks man"

[glad fable]

It doesn’t make it harder tbh, it just makes it significantly more tedious

[gentle mulch]

I'm assuming more abstractly Hong Lu imposed some of the emotions he feels onto the passion of Matthias given Hong Lu's repressed Everything and it just shut that shit down

sorta like that steven universe character huh

[cloud wadi]

yeah it disables Laevatainn's Burn effect

and yeah it's a relic and not an ordinary fire

but Hong Lu's water isn't ordinary water either

and in terms of emotional weight

I think Hong Lu's water carries more weight than matthias's little torch

[gentle mulch]

PJM also places a heavy emphasis on earnest and sincere emotions

matthias just wants to swing a toy around

[cloud wadi]

if Matthias was someone with actual aptitude with laevatainn and could bring out its heat to fullest

[gentle mulch]

hong lu has superdepression

[cloud wadi]

maybe Hong Lu's water shower would've just caused a steam explosion rather than being neutralized fully

matthias' issue is that he lies to himself

rather than strictly speaking him not wanting the right thing

[gentle mulch]

next pv we need the hong lu bath animation and it makes an auraful steam sauna 😌

[cloud wadi]

if he truly and sincerely wanted to swing a toy around

and he was honest about it

tthe weight of such emotion is probably actually equivalent to an egotist

but he always couches his true desires behind lies and superficialities

[gentle mulch]

he woulda popped the carmen question like a real light wielder and not bring some moonstones to a lab fight

L Bozo get ventilated

[cloud wadi]

i think he would've turned into a pecca tbh

[gentle mulch]

W.S.

[cloud wadi]

he's too dishonest to become a distortion

too superficial to become an egotist

[gentle mulch]

he's literally bitch made

[cloud wadi]

like distortions at least are honest about what they want

[gentle mulch]

he just does whatever fulfills his whim at the time and makes excuses

oh i want that sword ill kill everyone and cover it up awesomeeeee banished to the house of spiders

[cloud wadi]

and he can't hold onto his desire strongly enough to become an egotist

so yeah, pecc

[gentle mulch]

oh i want that fixer dead just fuckitttt cut my daughter in half uhhh it's family lol

banished to the afterlife

[signal kindle]

I don’t really think dishonesty would matter

[cloud wadi]

eh true enough that if he's at such a mind state where distortion is an actual threat he might be more honest with himself at that stage

[signal kindle]

I think he’d just distort into some vile thing only interested in fulfilling its desires. It’d have the same goal as a percetulla but either a very strong one or simply close in resemblance

[keen palm]

I think at that stage him developing ego would have been the most likely option

[cloud wadi]

emotional honesty is actually an important aspect of distortions though, I think

[keen palm]

Because otherwise things would have gone well for the DD crew

Which couldn't happen at that stage

[signal kindle]

I don’t know there is that ||big ass werewolf in|| canto 6, ||the boring one that serves as a mini boss that you floor from the drunk guy||

[gentle mulch]

carmens entire deal is "this sucks wanna just be yourself and say fuck you to everyone else? also happens to just lead you to killing everyone lol"

[keen palm]

Also yeah you can be delusional and be an egoist

See Ahab

Who skips the cutscene entirely

[signal kindle]

Ahab was true to her emotions and her goals

Because she only had one of both

[keen palm]

Yeah, and she was delusional

What I'm saying is you cant judge who will distort based on whos good or whos bad or whos determined or not

[gentle mulch]

EGOs like that sounds cool but id like to see what happens while i kill people

[keen palm]

Heathcliff is by far the most determined sinner

[signal kindle]

Determined to stove the yellow one’s head in

[keen palm]

He genuinely has the strongest will and is willing to keep going at it no matter how much he and the others suffer

[gentle mulch]

either way youre faced with a choice that generally leads you to becoming more honest with yourself (fuck you phillip)

[keen palm]

[keen palm]

MOST ego users we see at this point actually double down on their delusions

[signal kindle]

There goes another grunt

[gentle mulch]

wait

have we seen someone have like

[stoic fjord]

I mean, being emotionally dishonest isn't the same as being delusional

[gentle mulch]

a convo with carmen and then turn into a pecca?

[stoic fjord]

Nnnnno, don't think so

[keen palm]

We've never seen anyone turn into a pecca

In general

[gentle mulch]

because the pecca we've seen iirc is Ring Made and also Hohenheim implied the Monolith might turn him into one of the pecca

[signal kindle]

Imagine being at like the lowest point in your life and then turning into a pecca

Salt-in-burning-wound type shit

[gentle mulch]

but we havent seen the Carmen Special turn someone into a pecca

[keen palm]

Dongrang was emotionally dishonest and delusional

[gentle mulch]

ultrakill filth tier

[cloud wadi]

dongrang stopped being emotionally dishonest when he distorted

[signal kindle]

Real

[cloud wadi]

and then he became delusional when he developed ego lmao

[gentle mulch]

legend

[stoic fjord]

Also I'm not saying someone can't be both in some way

Just like

They're not always the same? I guess?

[cloud wadi]

dongrang was like "Oh no, I'm just a subhuman scum who goes after meaningless awards to fill the void of my heart..." (honesty)

and then he ewas like "SO WHAT I'M GONNA GET ALL THE AWARDS"

[stoic fjord]

And then went "nah being a middle manager is based as fuck I'm doing this shit forever"

[gentle mulch]

literally this

he looked at all the stupid shit he got into and how shallow it was and said "FUUUUUUCK LETS KEEP DOING IT YES HAHAHA YES"

[keen palm]

I think more than anything in that moment Dongrang was consumed by a desire to prove everyone wrong

He probably wouldnt have lasted as an egoist

But in that moment he did

[cloud wadi]

it's a pretty fragile ego yeah

[gentle mulch]

his distortion was partially a pecca or at least resembling, too

[stoic fjord]

I wonder if Xiao's E.G.O would have lasted

[keen palm]

I think so

[gentle mulch]

like dongrang was not built for this shit but did it anyways what a legend

dirtnap

[keen palm]

Xiao's revelation was pretty solid

[gentle mulch]

wait 3 years and find out

thats right

[glad fable]

Is developing EGO just the equivalent of going “fuck it we ball”
Or maybe “I reject your reality and substitute it with my own”

[stoic fjord]

What was it again?

[gentle mulch]

we're going to visit xiao

[cloud wadi]

it's declaring that you didn't do anything wrong to a world that tells you that you are wrong and a sinner

[keen palm]

She shouldnt disregard the sacrifices of her comrades or shelter them from death

[gentle mulch]

"Fuck it we ball" is pretty apt

[cloud wadi]

and that if given the choice they would DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN

[keen palm]

They chose to die for her and her alone

[stoic fjord]

It's a bit of both iirc

Like. "No. Fuck you. I'm right. You're wrong. I'm gonna keep doing this for fucking ever dude"

Ahhhhh, ok yeah that sounds pretty sturdy

[keen palm]

https://youtu.be/8cMKsks4M4Q?si=K1zE4usacQkRgqlR

[gentle mulch]

Carmen: Hey all your choices led you to this pit of despair and not achieving your goal. I'm going to tell you exactly what would make you the most emotionally vulnerable so you can be convinced to just let go and do your specific thing forever.
EGOtist: WHAT IF I DID ALL THAT SHIT

AGAIN

[cloud wadi]

"I didn't callously discard their lives. They chose to die for me and me alone. I will burn the world with them if given another chance."

[gentle mulch]

The choices I made are MY stupid choices and I'm gonna KEEP MAKING THEM

https://tenor.com/view/limbus-limbus-company-lobotomy-corporation-library-of-ruina-dante's-inferno-gif-7493275143083460731

[cloud wadi]

but yeah all the egotists so far whose struggle that we are aware of

involves some kind of rejection of sin

or more precisely rejection of the notion that what they did was a sin

[gentle mulch]

"THEY CHOSE TO FOLLOW ME INTO THE LIBRARY FOR ME AND ME ALONE.
TODAY, A STAR OF THE CITY WILL FALL"

[stoic fjord]

How did Verg manifest his E.G.O

[stoic fjord]

Top 3 aura in all of PMoon

[gentle mulch]

"Man fuck it, I'm gonna keep trying to make a better world even if it means wading through all the bodies step by step."

"I just gotta kill more people bro just a few more bodies the city will fix itself with a few more bodies"

[cloud wadi]

Carmen offered him an option to rage against the injustice of the city without checking himself basically

[gentle mulch]

Carmen basically slipped that "hey there's a way to make the city better" and Verg said...

oh.

[cloud wadi]

he told her that would be nice, but he needs to check himself if he wants to actually make a difference

[lean fjord]

This makes me think again how he calls unsealing the sword 'unwrapping' it

[gentle mulch]

he literally exists to aura farm and die like a mayfly

[cloud wadi]

some people think albina will return because her death sprite doesn't include her head and i'm like

guy

she got hit by a move called True Decapitation Strike

instead of just cutting off the neck it explodes the head

[gentle mulch]

sinclair would not leave a head behind

[cloud wadi]

she ain't coming back

sinclair told her that he intended to kill her

and he's not gonna leave behind a single shred of possibility for her to revive

[gentle mulch]

the moment ver realizes he has to YES HAHAHA YES

"this shits kinda painful dont you want to be free of it..?"

[cloud wadi]

but yeah basically Carmen offered him an opportunity to become a permanent revolutionary

[gentle mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/superman-sniff-my-favorite-smell-meme-gif-6296059268181590699

[cloud wadi]

and Vergil told her that he'd rather be king

that's why his ego is based off caesar and stuff haha

[stoic fjord]

"No. I'm HIM. I'd do it a hundred times over. I'll do it my way, and my way alone."

[cloud wadi]

he's not a rebel

to accomplish what he wants

he has to become king and dictate the terms of his new world

[gentle mulch]

basically.

and now he got attached to charonnnnn hehe

little bundle of liability

[cloud wadi]

it's why Carmen tries to counter by saying wanting that is akin to just coloring over everyone else's desires with his own selfishly

[gentle mulch]

and he says "okay"

[cloud wadi]

basically

[stoic fjord]

hit her with the ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gentle mulch]

and he's just like "well ill be king make a new world and then die of old age ig"

[cloud wadi]

but yeah there's a reason why his ego depicts him as like a conquering king

[gentle mulch]

like who gaf

[stoic fjord]

Charon being the name of the ferryman of the underworld concerns me deeply

[gentle mulch]

how else will verg move to a hell of his own karma

without a ferryman

[stoic fjord]

:(

[cloud wadi]

vergil is drenched in blood because it symbolizes the amount of blood he will have to shed to accomplish his goals

his own

his enemies

the innocents

[gentle mulch]

Limbus Company seems to be a deal of

"You will get exactly what you want. Loser. Monkeys paw. bitch."

[cloud wadi]

"Help us with our boy band and Charon will die" was the promise offered to Vergil

[gentle mulch]

Quit your office

[gentle mulch]

he's not built for this shit

he's gonna get attached

bleeding heart headass

[cloud wadi]

exactly the thing Carmen warned him about btw

[gentle mulch]

Like literally the thing he asked for

[cloud wadi]

"You aren't built for this. You will change your mind. You'll come to think you are paying too high of a price."

[gentle mulch]

"theyre MY stupid choices" okay face stupid consequences?

still kinda aura

like

there's something pretty compelling about like "yeah im doomed as fuck by the narrative and im gonna flip flop and i cant face this with full conviction because i can still change as a person.

but im gonna do it anyways because thats gonna be my fucked up unstable path."

[lean fjord]

the Leviathan sequence was great, because it does illustrate the mindset you need for EGO pretty much perfectly

though Verg is also still flexible enough to use Shin and Mang too

[cloud wadi]

i mean shin and mang isn't like uh

antithetical to ego or whatever

[gentle mulch]

dont they just need to focus on an emotion?

and an experience?

[cloud wadi]

yeah

you need to focus on an emotion to use mang

[gentle mulch]

they seem kinda antithetical to distortion imo

[cloud wadi]

shin i'm not sure about

[lean fjord]

it's sorta orthogonal I guess
but don't you still need to acknowledge your sins to an extent for Shin?

[gentle mulch]

since in distortions youre just doing the One Thing

[cloud wadi]

no, no need to acknowledge your sin

you just need to focus on an emotion really really strongly

[gentle mulch]

god

[lean fjord]

hm, fair enough

[gentle mulch]

pjm really is the power of emotions in shonen but with mildly less yelling

[cloud wadi]

it's why most people focus on negative emotions for shin/mang I think

because its easier to focus on wrath or sorrow in the middle of a fight

[gentle mulch]

lei heng's mang is actually "i feel fucking greattttt seeing yoshihide fly around with my sword and break a leg lolll"

[cloud wadi]

ezra laughing wildly as she uses her shin/mang is an outlier and should be discarded

[gentle mulch]

learn how she became so joyful^

[lean fjord]

Ezra is just too joyous whimsy pilled to contain

[cloud wadi]

vergil's shin/mang codewise tanks his SP to negative 45 and subsequently makes him roll heads easier with negative sp

[gentle mulch]

if i had moses on my team id probably be laughing while using mang too

[lean fjord]

the different amounts of SP Shin and Mang drain from the user are very interesting

[cloud wadi]

notably vergil focuses on several contradictory emotions for his shin i think

like the time he spent with his orphans joyously

but also the day they died

focusing on different emotions at once probably is the source of multiple mang rings

[gentle mulch]

i imagine it cant be very easy to focus on the fight when youre also focusing on visceral experiences in your past

[cloud wadi]

and also why it's difficult to generate more than a couple

imagine being angry and happy at the same time

[gentle mulch]

sisyphus prime

It makes some sense to use base Ryoshu during her canto from a story perspective, IDs seem to overwrite the Sinner's consciousness to some extent and Ryoshu would definitely want to be there for the entire thing

Unrelated, why did nobody ever tell us that T Corp Outis has some of the coolest battle animations in the entire game

I feel fear from this person calling Abnormalities by their Corporate Code

[atomic steeple]

They use code when doing the abno choice thing

This game is so jank
It can't display three digits in the management report, so it shows a stat of 100 as 10

The green noon robots are supposed to do 1 to 3 damage on chainsaw (which hits 9 times) and 1 to 2 on gun, but rng is bugged so it can't pick the highest numbers

This line is special, because the ID for it in the game's code includes a anim="Glad1". I haven't seen this anywhere else in the text files, so I think Angela is actually supposed to be smiling here but it's written in the wrong spot so it doesn't change anything?

[faint pivot]

A little while later, we get something interesting: a Meltdown on the Magical Girl. Meltdowns on WAW and ALEPH Abnormalities are either really good or really bad, depending entirely on if we can safely work the Abnormality in question. If we can't, we have a problem dumped into our lap that may end with someone going crazy or dying as a monster breaks out and lays waste to the facility. If we can, however, we get a free work with a high-energy Abnormality, because Meltdown works do not raise the overload penalty

[atomic steeple]

Also the mini arc of bishop doing an independent investigation and realizing the company and manager are weird, so they have a conversation

X sigh I don't have a plan.
Bishop What?
X I know you're expecting something dramatic, but… That's basically it. I don't have any plans. Ever, really.
Bishop Then how is it that our death rate has been so much lower than under every other manager?
X I mostly just let you guys do your own thing. Mizu seems to instantly get how to work with Abnormalities, and Talow somehow managed to catch things she missed. The two of them together are enough to handle the new ones. Sometimes we get bad situations like the Ordeals, but half of you seem to be natural fighters, so you mostly take care of them for me, too.
Bishop So you're telling me that you don't do anything? That this place could have been this safe all along?
X The only things I really handle are handing out training regimens and picking which new Abnormality we get the next day. I can sort of… sense which ones to pick, but that's all.
Bishop So you're a figurehead. Why are you telling me this, though?
X Let's call it a gesture of goodwill. I can't expect you to work your best if you're worried I'm planning to off you, right?
Bishop ...You're a weird manager, sir.

It can rapidly snowball into bug army incubated from employees
The gear obtained from her is good for killing the bees at least
She's fascinating, as a problem in a management game
Whenever she spores, while you can have durable agents to tank it, clerks will die and spawn worker bees. So you gotta quickly handle the problem before they kill and convert more employees, snowballing into an army

Also I wonder if Xiao gets embarassed about her EGO awakening considering no one actually died during it

[stoic fjord]

Wdym?

[keen palm]

Like his skill 3 and EGO aren't Wrath, his seasonal EGO wasn't Wrath

Lord Lu doesn't have Wrath skills

[bronze zephyr]

do you mean Happiness, Sorrow, Wrath, Joy?

otherwise he's not very wrathful

[fluid whale]

well I think that's Voy's point, is that he's not wrathful by nature but him expressing his wrath is this climactic moment

[keen palm]

His defining sin in his character arc is Wrath

Also during the check up

he was put with sinclair

[fluid whale]

and his IDs since have had none wrath and no burn

[bronze zephyr]

Mm right

[fluid whale]

granted, that's only 1 I think

[keen palm]

1 wrath

Reindeer is Wrath

[fluid whale]

I'm saying since canto 8 part 3 drop

which is just hong lord unless I've missed one?

it is, it seems like he's overdue for one

[cosmic gorge]

Odd that hong lord is Pride not wrath

Gluttony sure but that s3 tho

Maybe Hongler will do a crashout in Act 2 or Act 3

[fluid whale]

so I guess next event ID is HL? since we've got probably a down banner between bokgak and next intervallo but they're not gonna give him Lucio idt

I mean... I guess they could, he doesn't have a good burn ID because of what all we've been talking about?

He could be next banner if he gets albina or callisto

most common takes are Heath as Lucio, Rodya as Valencina, and Hong Lu and Faust as either Albina or Callisto, ive seen arguments for both

[keen palm]

Big Rick will be there bc of relation to Kira if he shows up at all

[fluid whale]

Ring is the watsonian choice cause the house is in the corridors

this rules

[bronze zephyr]

i think Albina Hong Lu would rock, it's my hope for what comes after LCB BokGak

[cosmic gorge]

Ill bring you a cursed thought

[fluid whale]

but the Thumb was in charge of the Araya project, the Pinky has an open member taken down and there's probably some way that Ryoshu gets the tag in her 0 ID, and the Index was hunting down Rien so they could want to repossess what he had

[bronze zephyr]

uh oh

[cosmic gorge]

Hongbina will ||call his sword Xichun||

[bronze zephyr]

eugh

[stoic fjord]

I think part of it is that even now, he still kind of represses it, and he especially did prior

I also almost think that Hong Lord's violence just barely escapes being wrath by being so directly targeted and fueled by pure disgust? Like I'm not saying it isn't wrathful, but I think the sin there is less wrath and more the pride of considering himself the one deserving of power and authority and the privilege of cleansing the world of what he sees as evil and whatnot

Even in one of his announcer lines, he talks about kind of repressing wrath

[cosmic gorge]

Hong Lord lacks wrath in his sin spread no

Its gloom glut pride

Theres a grandiosity to it

[stoic fjord]

That's what I'm saying yeah

[cosmic gorge]

If he had wrath he wouldnt be a bad end id maybe

Because his bad end id is defined by that uhh

[stoic fjord]

I think if he truly had wrath- yeah, he wouldn't be a bad end

[cosmic gorge]

Entitlement

To rule

[stoic fjord]

Yeah

[cosmic gorge]

His intentions werent pure

It had good effects but

Maybe he didnt love his irish american stepsister to be aggrieved enough to have a righteousness to his revenge

Wrath for the evils done by the system itself instead of disgust for its current masters

[mystic ermine]

"Keeping them sane is much harder thaj alive"

[stoic fjord]

I wonder what status each sinner has the most IDs for

[stoic fjord]

From first glance I think...

Yi Sang - sinking
Faust - poise
Don - poise
Ryoshu - tie between bleed and poise
Meursault - Bleed
Hong Lu - Rupture
Heathcliff - bleed
Ishmael - tremor
Rodion - bleed
Sinclair - rupture
Outis - Rupture
Gregor - bleed.

These may feel wrong. This is including base IDs and 00s, though

[lean fjord]

Not too surprised it's Bleed mostly

[bronze zephyr]

Need more burn……

Not on Sinclair. Don’t curl that monkey’s paw.

[ebon forge]

doesnt sault have only 2 bleed ids

[bronze zephyr]

BL, Prince, Hornet, Middle, Rhino

[ebon forge]

Oh huh right

[faint pivot]

Think of the inverse - there's no Bullet to throw an Agent into insanity, but there is one to throw them into hell. Ergo, it's easier to lose an agent to death than it is to insanity

[faint pivot]

BL hardly counts since it's on TCTB but he does inflict them

[vagrant dove]

I think the gluttony's along similiar lines- Hong Lord doesn't seem to have an end to his vision, to the point where he's seeking power to ensure he'll win a wing war (that he probably plans to start)

The very thing Xichun is advised against in Spring Cultivation

It wasn't enough for him to reshape H-Corp, he wants to reshape the City

Following a vision that consumes everything around him

Glooms ofc because he's ultimately a hollow man- unlike our Hongler (post C8) he's buried his happiness and joy away for the sake of his revenge

(I really like this id lmao)

There's def a sense of entitlement to rule there as well

[karmic escarp]

my reading comp has really been on the decline lately LMAO

[atomic steeple]

Okay so
I don't think the check up was about the characters' defining sin. Just one they had some dignificant relationship to, that made it worthwhile to see interaction with respective peccatula

[faint pivot]

As an s1 I feel like he's only hollow on the surface unlike our beloved Jade who has it as an s3

He only resembles our Hong Lu on the surface

[vagrant dove]

Yeah def

[faint pivot]

Though his actions do betray hollowness, he's filled his void with himself

[faint pivot]

Thinking back to how Maost insults Hong Lord for being hollow in reciting precepts of humanity

Makes me wonder if he's even in the Pinky in this world

[vagrant dove]

He also only resembles his inspiration (Kong Qiu) on the surface

Thematic too

[atomic steeple]

Yeah
For all the conflict with each other

[faint pivot]

Her being so cutthroat could've been hardcoded in too

Though I find it more compelling if the place Angela and A built up drove her to such lengths "naturally"

[atomic steeple]

Zeta21: If I do, you're getting us that beer machine.

X: Did Netzach put you up to this?

Netzach: Sure did. What're you gonna do, fire me?

X: I'm honestly not sure whether to fire you or be impressed by the effort.

Angela: Manager, we cannot-

X: If you can kill every one of them, by yourself, then I'll make it happen.

Angela: Manager.

Zeta21: ...Deal.

[faint pivot]

Gah

I love how hollow this X sounds with such a grandiose promise and an even grander task

Unless that employee is hyper resistant AND bringing AoE weaponry, 1vMany in LobCorp goes as well as it does in TTRPGs

[atomic steeple]

Aleph gear

[faint pivot]

Versus?

[atomic steeple]

Green noon

[atomic steeple]

Sound of a star

[faint pivot]

Ah well Green Noon is fine

Thought it was the Sweepers or Worker Bees

Where they clump up on employees as a group

But Green Noon's more manageable

It's 1 per department anyhow

[atomic steeple]

Oh, just the weapon, not the suit, so the nugget has to retreat to heal

[faint pivot]

Lmao I salute thee Zeta

[atomic steeple]

Zeta21: It's nothing personal. You're just standing between me and beer.

[faint pivot]

Ain't

[atomic steeple]

Ain't that a motherf-

[faint pivot]

I'm misremembering hard but isn't Zeta the name of a clerk that beat...was it an Aleph?

[atomic steeple]

Zeta was a clerk yeah, but I think she mostly survived stuff. Maybe killed like one enemy

[faint pivot]

He will forever be in our hearts

[atomic steeple]

Mang of longing for beer

Mang of relaxing in a sofa

Mang of clocking out early

X You'd know if you were awake before, but that's sort of our thing here. Lobotomy Corporation: Quit while Ahead, Survive 'til Tomorrow.

Angela X, that is not our company slogan.

X Well, maybe it should be. :colbert:

Angela Perhaps it is simply a matter of understanding. Allow me to tell you about our great and brilliant founder, A, and the reasoning and effort he put into coming up with a perfect slogan for our corporation…

Angela ...which is the 107th reason why "Face the Fear, Build the Future" is the greatest, and only, true motto for our great company. Reason 108 is-

X Speaking of, why is it that so much of my HUD stuff says 'MAKE the future' instead?

Angela …

X Just curious.

Angela We outsourced its creation to another Wing. As expected, their work was subpar.

X Of course.

Angela As I was saying, reason number 108 is…

[hybrid lynx]

now i'm wanting to play lob corp again

you can leave the facility, but the facility never leaves you

[stoic fjord]

You cannot leave the facility either. That's like half the point.

[hybrid lynx]

fuck

[gentle mulch]

i think one of them very much did leave the facility

[hybrid lynx]

welp, time to show roland what angela went through and to torment angela once afuckinggain

[gentle mulch]

and uh. killed a lot of people about it

but also didn't kill them because they're back now

[stoic fjord]

I think the "you must suffer as much as I have thing" is like

Angela probably suffered infinitely worse than him and he don't even know it

That's kinda funny to me

[gentle mulch]

it's the best kind of irony for just how fucked up that interaction is

[stoic fjord]

Bro suffered normal city things

Angela genuinely experienced a new and unique torment nexus

[gentle mulch]

warp train where they larp lobcorp

[faint pivot]

Glad that this got referenced

[stoic fjord]

Highkey I fw this I think this would be my first choice after a few hundred years

Would you guys LARP lob corp with me on the warp train

I volunteer to be turned into a weird flesh recreation of Funeral of the Dead Butterflies

Or really any abno with sufficient aura

[faint pivot]

I wouldn't mind being built into the Road of Gold

[faint pivot]

Honestly thought you meant Hohenheim

Then realization hit

[gentle mulch]

lmao

[faint pivot]

-# REALIZATION!?? IS THAT A LIBRARY OF RUINA REFERENCE???

I'm sorry y'all my friend's tendencies rubbed off on me earlier

[atomic steeple]

Talow: You know, Queen Bee, if there's one thing I'll never get used to it's how an agent equipping the wrong E.G.O gear makes the manager abandon everything immediately to rewind time. He can't just ask Credentia to change out shirts with Fat Sam, he has to go back in time to make it so that he never screwed up in the first place. How messed up is that, huh? ...Not that you can understand any of this.

[atomic steeple]

He knows
She explained to him
And he sees her floor realizations, in hod's he even comments it's horrible

But pain before the crime is not punishment

Plus he probably wanted to do it himself

[faint pivot]

Fucking mood

This is one helluva let's play

I feel so seen

[cloud wadi]

no you can always leav the facility

when you DIE

and go to hell

[faint pivot]

About that

Gestures towards Archival

[cloud wadi]

ah hells

[atomic steeple]

Geburas towards archival

[faint pivot]

Fair reaction, I'd scrungly Hokma too if he didn't grow to be a better person

[gentle mulch]

oh wait

kit reveals

[faint pivot]

Just an ID and EGO apparently

Maps though, not like there's much else to give other than like, Faelantern Yi Sang

What's the welfare ID y'all reckon? Lantern Sang?

HOLY

ABS Fau makes her gear not blow her up

...hum

[stoic fjord]

HOLY SHIT PHOTOELECTRICITY

[faint pivot]

Like a certain someone

[stoic fjord]

WE HAVE CHARGE SUPPORT

[faint pivot]

HOLY SHIT PHOTOELECTRICITY

IT RETURNS

Weight on that enhanced skill 3? Hell yeah

[stoic fjord]

This guy is lowkey going to be goated on walp-based charge teams, E.G.O gear is plentiful enough that you could genuinely just get a free clash power off of the passive

[faint pivot]

There also happens to be 3 Charge EGO gear users in Walp

No charge? No problem, just deploy after Gregor

Considering my fucked up non-Middling Envy team is mostly charge anyway I may very well field this guy instead of any of the Middlers

[gentle mulch]

ego passive is nice

[faint pivot]

HOLY SHIT

EMBERS PROCS BURN

Damn everyone except Rupture is eating good lately

[stoic fjord]

"Everyone but rupture is eating good lately"

Dawg they're still hibernating after being elevated to the strongest team in the game last season they do not need more

[stoic fjord]

Yeah, like. This guy genuinely might be an automatic pick for charge

KoDya, MaDonka, REAPshu, W Heath, Multicrack Faust, AEDD Gregenheim, W Outis

That's probably the team, right?

I mean I know KoDya fucks with passives but I feel like that's probably the meta charge team

[atomic steeple]

Faust thighs...
Lmao thought he had 3 s3s. Either way, finally a good charge gregor

[stoic fjord]

There's probably an alternative with no unique charges but idk

[atomic steeple]

The beasts are asleep

[faint pivot]

WARP Don & Ryo plus Rodya

Also I personally haven't levelled Wartis but I just might because of AEDDgor

[stoic fjord]

No yi sang?

[atomic steeple]

The ego art is fascinating. A city and people being incinerated

A bit like the crying children incident

[faint pivot]

Oh mb, thought you meant literal non-Walp

[stoic fjord]

...what?

W Yi Sang is standard???

[faint pivot]

My brain short circuited and thought you meant "if only Don Ryo and Ro had non-Walp charge IDs"

[stoic fjord]

Ohhhhhhh

[faint pivot]

W Sang would 100% replace Rodya lmao

[stoic fjord]

Waiting for the L5 W Corp employee leader ID. Please.

I need more proper leader IDs

Hong Lord spoiled me that shit is aura

Oh also Pequod Ishmael and such though she's far more limited

[atomic steeple]

W corp captain that is also a cannibal

[faint pivot]

Honestly I want more non-capstone leaders

Give us an R Corp. captain

[atomic steeple]

Charge rupture bleed

[stoic fjord]

Give me full R Corp Charge

Please

I need it so bad

[atomic steeple]

Charge is dead

It's a corpse walking

[faint pivot]

Count is fuel

[stoic fjord]

Nikolai Outis and Myo Don for walp please

Please

Please

[faint pivot]

Inferno is full

[stoic fjord]

Dispense is full

[faint pivot]

That one's better

[atomic steeple]

Kjh: from now on, r corp is bleed faction, with sinking from reindeers

[stoic fjord]

I'd actually blow up

[faint pivot]

Huh, exactly like the distortion with similar thematics, how cool is that!

[stoic fjord]

We already have 2 full bleed factions

[stoic fjord]

Kurokumo and Bloodfiends

[faint pivot]

Walp has a handful of Bleed too now

Hook Lu, Allegory, Hornetsault

[stoic fjord]

Please mr KJH give us full R Corp Charge. Drip feed is okay. Please. Please. I just need this. I need the gun team.

[atomic steeple]

Sweating myo don between nikolai outis and olga outis

[stoic fjord]

You might be cooking

Lowk it fucks with me massively that Molar Outis isn't walp. Like. That mf is from ruina.

[faint pivot]

She hates the other's guts (for getting in the way) and hates the other's guts (for being unhealthy)

[atomic steeple]

Honestly, I want more ammo too

[stoic fjord]

Ammo IDs are peak give me the full cohesive firing squad

[faint pivot]

Ikr?

Then there's the goddamned chef duo

[stoic fjord]

I mean I guess R Corp would only be like half guns but still

[faint pivot]

Hook office is in Walp! The hell they doing here??

[stoic fjord]

Give me ammo give me ammo give me ammo please please

Give me a full team of ammo users KJH and my life is yours

Like, a full cohesive team

I want to roll out with the firing squad

[atomic steeple]

R corp Heathcliff: That lass is spoiled, I tell ya
R corp Meursault: Any happiness in this corporation is a relief. I propose we comfort each other too

[cloud wadi]

I need a myo id

[stoic fjord]

R Corp yaoi marriage of convenience

[cloud wadi]

i'm guessing myo id will have stance shift mechanic

starts as ammo unit

until she runs out of ammo

[atomic steeple]

Leader that calls an assist attack from the entire team, where they shoot the enemy together

[cloud wadi]

and then switches to knives and become stronger

entering FERAL MODE

[stoic fjord]

Cold Sun Office has a thumb card like this

[faint pivot]

So Caposault except bnuuy

[cloud wadi]

yes

[atomic steeple]

Can't, she has sufficient ammo
Maybe it's a charge potency conditional

[stoic fjord]

Mass attack, individual, adds another die for each team member with ammo supply

[cloud wadi]

maybe its post ruina myo though

[atomic steeple]

Caposault doing rabbit hole dance

[gentle mulch]

"When Ammo reaches 0, Gain X Gashes for every Ammo Spent instead of Reloading"

[cloud wadi]

budget cuts hitting her office hard

[faint pivot]

Just remembered, honestly find that really funny

[gentle mulch]

Gashes are Spent as you use melee pages

[stoic fjord]

If it's walp, it'd be the ruina myo

[gentle mulch]

At 0 Gashes, Reload

[atomic steeple]

Trye

[stoic fjord]

But also fair

[stoic fjord]

"Melee pages"

Bro forgot what game we're playing

Also if we see Myo again

MYOLGA YURI HINTS PLEASE

[gentle mulch]

It's melee pages

[stoic fjord]

EVEN JUST CRUMBS AND I'LL GIVE MY LIFE FOR YOU KJH

[gentle mulch]

Anything less isn't faithful to ruina

[stoic fjord]

WITH NO HESITATION

[cloud wadi]

maybe we'll find that olga and her molars have found a way to return to their home office

where Myo is again trying to cajole them into joining a dangerous mission that pays super well

[atomic steeple]

Then olga pins her

[stoic fjord]

I'll kill at his command without hesitation if I see even the slightest hints of myolga yuri it's not even funny

[gentle mulch]

Honestly I'd love it is Myo found the crab shop and got staffed under them after the 4th pack becomes fugitive

[atomic steeple]

Put the crabs in the bag myo

[stoic fjord]

Jesse ICEOUT we need to cook write fanfiction

[gentle mulch]

bag the repairs

[faint pivot]

They aren't even a restaurant they crack crabs for the croil 😭

[stoic fjord]

Put the crabs in the engine

[cloud wadi]

i thought they crack crabs for the crabjunk

[faint pivot]

Oh oops

[cloud wadi]

and also the crab alcohol

[stoic fjord]

Yeah, it's for the scrap metal

And the brain wine

[gentle mulch]

and crabcohol

[stoic fjord]

And the meat even if it lowk tastes ass

[faint pivot]

Yea they crack crabs for the cretal and cralcohol

[cloud wadi]

i like meursault and ryoshu seriously discussing how to cook a crab

[gentle mulch]

"Olga. I gotta say. We've grazed greener grasses than this"
"Just eat the damn meat"

[faint pivot]

Forgot they did this

[cloud wadi]

also meursault casually bringing up that he can understand SANGRIA perfectly lmfao

[faint pivot]

...now that I think about it I'm surprised Araya survived Ryo's cooking

[atomic steeple]

"You're sleeping in the couch tonight"

[faint pivot]

One tough cookie

[cloud wadi]

the octopus sausage that didn't look like octopus

[gentle mulch]

loud indignant rabbit foot thumping noises

[faint pivot]

"Duh, Rain is taking the chair and Mika's sleeping on the table"

[cloud wadi]

ryo is a type of woman who thinks that dragon's beard candy and some salted watermelons suffice as dinner

[stoic fjord]

Okay tbf from what we've seen

She cooked fairly normally, even if amateurishly

[atomic steeple]

"Any more of this tantrum and it's the dog crab house tonight"

[stoic fjord]

The weird avant-garde shit seems to be a new-ish development

[cloud wadi]

she has been banned now from the kitchen

i think she's about to be banned from picking up takeout too

[atomic steeple]

Yield my cooking skills to stab my parents

[gentle mulch]

just like angrily planking on the couch not sleeping just being mad

[cloud wadi]

do you think myo thumps her heels like zilu

[gentle mulch]

yes

like 100%

[faint pivot]

Zilu thumps her heels??

[stoic fjord]

Almost certainly

[gentle mulch]

i think she does it more because Zilu actually has restraint

[stoic fjord]

We see it in Spring Cultivation when she gets annoyed iirc

[stoic fjord]

Mhm

[cloud wadi]

yeah I could swear she's described as like stomping her foot when she gets annoyed

[gentle mulch]

she's so moe

[faint pivot]

Both of them are

[cloud wadi]

zilu gap moe

[faint pivot]

I hope this world is one where both bnuuys get happy endings

[cloud wadi]

nah it's the stewpot for zilu

Olga and Zigong both have wonderful and amazing bunny wives.... much happiness and joy to be had in the city if one knows where to find it... much to be learned...

[atomic steeple]

Lobotomy corporation

As for how we survived without much more than a scratch? Lobotomy Corporation's code is made of spaghetti and duct tape in places, and Violet Noon's targeting is a major example. Due to a coding oversight, its initial attack only targets Agents from its department for damage. This means that all Agents from other departments are immune to its attack. It just sort of… misses them, somehow. Since Safety's members are all tanky enough to survive 100 Red damage, that means I've just let a Violet Noon fall on the head of everyone in the entire facility, and nobody died.

Hope: we meet a myo distortion in the dd intervallo before n corp. Not being a hero and olga knowing how warp trains work after being sent by her drive myo over the edge
So heathcliff and don coach her back from distortion so she tries once again to be a hero and communicates with olga

[faint pivot]

I feel like Myo being there would be too much stuff in the pan but it'd be amazing if they could pace that correctly

[atomic steeple]

Yeah

[atomic steeple]

Didn't expect queen bee to be used as an instinct trainer. Seeing two bug zombie apocalypses made me think they'd just do insight works with a high prudence agent, to get energy and the gear. They were confident they could contain the bugs every time a breach happened
