Project Moon Games: Lobcorp, Ruina, Etc.

[cosmic gorge]

Thistle is wrath gloom gloom i think

[stoic fjord]

...that is fair, yeah.

Besides Engraving the Aspect

[split beacon]

which my guy knows nothing about anymore

[stoic fjord]

Mhm

[mystic ermine]

But it does hit them like lightning
Fucking

Clickertraining style

...

Hwhat in tarnation is an aspect

[glad fable]

Do you think if you asked them about Engraving the Aspect at this point they’d just go “huh? What’re you talking about?”

[split beacon]

Genuinely I think we have none of the context to infer anything about it now

[stoic fjord]

It's the Aspect

Proper noun

[mystic ermine]

Of??

[stoic fjord]

Shrugs

Iunno

[split beacon]

Engraving the Aspect is like the one thing that Limbus has never hinted at anything for or teased or revisited

[stoic fjord]

Dante in general is mysterious

[split beacon]

Selva Obscura is a complete mystery right now

[cosmic gorge]

You could say it was

Obscura

[lean fjord]

There is the vague notion of following the Star

But yeah

[mystic ermine]

...
Say that again?

[keen palm]

Counterpoint

The Bus lacks any Sinner with a Wrath EGO and we only have one Sinner associated with red, flames, and an increasing rage against the state of the world.

[split beacon]

True

maybe Dante will become Wrathpilled

[lean fjord]

Possible

Dante still gives me mostly Pride vibes though

[keen palm]

The two Abnos associated with Dante so far are Wrath and Pride

(Doomsday and King in BInds)

[gentle mulch]

but dante

is red

checkmate

[keen palm]

that's what I SAID

[gentle mulch]

🙂‍↕️ we already have pride ego and whatnot

we need

red

[lean fjord]

looking forward to Canto 13, when we will surely find out more about Dante

[keen palm]

And Vergilus dies

[vagrant dove]

Just a headsup, pepe emotes aren't allowed on this server iirc

[mystic ermine]

Ah, I thought that was another one

I did recall something like that

One second

[mystic ermine]

And the whole doomsday clock!

[lean fjord]

I still think there's a chance he survives

but yeah he will probably stop being our Guide

[cloud wadi]

Pilot will become our pilot

It would be funny if it turns out that Pilot was casually friends with Demian all this time and he just never mentioned it because he didn’t think it was important to mention that he keeps meeting a weird kid in every nest he goes to

[stoic fjord]

Pilot becoming massively plot important would be incredible

[glad fable]

I’d believe it honestly

[buoyant stream]

so someone on Twitter pointed out that just the alternative skills for Obama have more text than Kiramael's entire kit

[stoic fjord]

Why is the icon for "Check This Out, Kiddo" green

[buoyant stream]

because Outis is green, i guess

[worthy haven]

This is so cute. Sadly don't know the artist 😭

[stoic fjord]

I love Yi Sang in the back

bro's ready to get his 3rd party

[fickle crown]

You forgot the corroded Hong Lu in the back that will nuke all of them

[tired canyon]

Unless I am missing something

Ryoshu is the only person we saw ||wielding a full power relic||

||Laevaetein doesn't resonate with Matthias properly

The eye of Odin has 3 pieces,and Valencia only has one

Vespa only has gungnir's very tip welded to his harpoon||

[stoic fjord]

spoilers

but also I think that might be true, yeah...

[cosmic gorge]

How much damage would the gungnir shaft do i wonder

[tired canyon]

WAIT NO

[gentle mulch]

🤔

||the Manchegans used the helmet of manbrino to stabl papa don||

The end-of-turn countdown has been updated to now need Envy A-Res instead of just Envy Res

[split beacon]

probably

[stoic fjord]

Muga farming is great

It's not as fast as Fell Bullet but it's less starlight negative for me and also less involved

[cosmic gorge]

i like Muga farming for thread

Shoccy Centy can't even reach turn two at full power HoShu

ate through its shield and then some

[sudden arch]

of all the times for my game to bug out.

floor 15, all adversities, final boss

if I exit I gotta do ahab and nelly again

[cosmic gorge]

oof

[sudden arch]

alright, 2nd time around was still clean

HoShu did more damage then hornet meur, ahabmeal and liu don combined

[ebon forge]

i wanna see pmoon ruina the limbus ids somehow

[tiny cave]

Library of Ruina remastered

Coming after LobCorp remastered

[ebon forge]

lobcorp remaster that's optimized with no spaghet

[hybrid lynx]

remastered lobcorp would be sick. i wanna see a different perception filter style for it

[ebon forge]

i wanna see more of ayin's "vision"

[gentle mulch]

and ayins respect to the human form

[hybrid lynx]

we are all strangling ayin

[ebon forge]

gebura is strangling me

[tiny cave]

With those thicc thighs?

[ebon forge]

:)

[gentle mulch]

with her geburas yeah

[cosmic gorge]

LobCorp but with that Panty and Stocking art style that it had in beta

[ebon forge]

bwuh

i want lobcorp FILTER_REDUCED mode

[uneven canopy]

huh, the proto tiphereths have heterochromia

[ebon forge]

gebura with the

[vagrant dove]

The jank is part of the experience atp I think (suffering) /j
But yeah a Lobcorp remaster would go hard

Ruina as well, the battle system with a Limbus budget for animations would Fuck

[hybrid lynx]

can she choke me next I am immediately eviscerated with a greater split vertical

[ebon forge]

lol

[vagrant dove]

[insert image of kishibe holding out the "I agree" notebook]

I wonder how deadbeat unc is doing these days

[atomic steeple]

There's a liu don?

[atomic steeple]

Bigger gebura hips

[tiny cave]

T Corp Time Travellers
Probably meant Cinq Don

Liu Don would go hard tho

[stoic fjord]

They probably meant Cinq East

GIVE US BACK SALUTING HOD

[ebon forge]

i love how everyone has PS1 crofts

[faint pivot]

THESE ARE ANIMATED BTW

All up to Briah

The Atziluth duo aren't included sadly

[stoic fjord]

Matthias Outis Tomorrow

I need to know how much the damage HoS Ryoshu takes is reduced by once she ganks her

Anyways all "feed all HoS units" jokes to ryoshu aside I am genuinely excited to have essentially a full middle team

Especially since she'll likely be incredibly helpful for Ricardo

[ebon forge]

why tf was it changed???

😭

[faint pivot]

IKR

I heard it was cause of feedback that tis was too similar to a certain popular show going on at the time

Not sure which one it was but ANYWAY

GIVE US BACK ANIMATED SALUTING HOD

[stoic fjord]

Panty and Stocking is my first guess based on the art style being somewhat similar, but there's a 4 year gap between the release of P&S and the first Lob Corp early access

[tiny cave]

I’m guessing like 5% considering string severance is already -7.5%

[stoic fjord]

KJH make it a full protection and my life is yours

hugot pa more pre
i jest

[faint pivot]

In exchange for that sigh you made me do you must translate this to the class

Totally not because I don't understand it by the way, I do, I simply do not know the English equivalent

[cosmic gorge]

me neither its one of those hard to translate into a single word words

[faint pivot]

Sink deeper pal~
||SINK? SINKING!??! IS THAT A LIMBUS COMPANY REFERENCE-||

[cosmic gorge]

hugot (verb? ostensibly means "digging something out", but used to mean saying something from the bottom of your heart, usually in a melancholic romantic context

[faint pivot]

Hugot also describes a genre of sad love music aiui

This ties into PMoon because music is a PMoon reference, and in Limbus, Outis is a musician - a musician of war

...say, with Facades being a thing, do IDs beneath them behave like the Facaded ID in-universe?

[cosmic gorge]

pray tell
uh
mayhaps ye were looking for the TYPE-MOON thread?
wait there isnt one here
this is a different Moon game unless you are alluding to a certain vampire from this franchise too xD

[atomic steeple]

buddy...

[tiny cave]

This can be a TYPE-MOON thread

Anyone wanna 1v1 melty blood

[faint pivot]

How did that Infinity War quote go again

Wrong movie

I love her 🥺

[faint pivot]

This reminds me of the time DQ proclaimed Canto 7 was Hong Lu's turn and I

I still can't tell if that was for real or not

[faint pivot]

Say, y'all recognize which canto this was from?

[cloud wadi]

2

See the gambling chips?

[faint pivot]

Oh damn

Missed this gem apparently

Hongers incredulously asking Faust about what a gambling chip is seems

Surreal

[cloud wadi]

Maybe he was just making content for the elders

You gotta explain the game for the decrepit old people who watch your show Y’know

[atomic steeple]

Think I'll prioritize
Grab bleed rodya id and wayfarer ego
Then grab sinking and burn stuff
Charge gregor as least priority

Sinking: Lamp gregor, index HoS
Burn: Sigh, roadya again for HoS, thumb heathcliff

There's index faust

But not that important

[gentle mulch]

ahh

the page count for middle outis is probably longer if she has flavor text..

[gentle mulch]

welcome to rodion's season

[gentle mulch]

im scared of what we're going to get for valencya's kit

midtis has a crazy word count for a gameplan of The Envy Res Team

[buoyant stream]

Well Val had fairly little text in terms of passives n stuff compared to Rien or Matt

[stoic fjord]

Praying for 5 page Valencya kit

[dusty sigil]

I now need this to happen

I'm genuinely all in on 2 of the people in selva obscura being some of the first 3 rats from Ruina

they line up well enough appearance-wise to make me genuinely take the theory seriously to an extent

@Chr1stmas12 on the evil bird app

[tired canyon]

i am glad that she is getting more art recently

[stoic fjord]

does anyone shard non-walp E.G.Os

[cosmic gorge]

Ive shared Fluid Sac and Indicant's Trial

[atomic steeple]

Hm, at times

I am most often scrambling to grab ids, but there are egos I wanna grab eventually

[tiny cave]

Ya

Can’t pull them once you have them so they’re safer to shard than IDs once you have all the seasonal stuff

Plus some egos help out teams a lot

Also I’m trying to get one ego of each slot for each sinner

[lean fjord]

sometimes

I have a bunch of old EGO I haven't gotten yet

mostly Season 3 stuff

[bronze zephyr]

Yeah I have

Blind Obsession and Binds recently

[buoyant stream]

ive been chipping away a bit at the battlepass egos i missed out on, yea

[keen palm]

Only if its something I need for an archetype

And once I am confident someone is getting more IDs that season

[buoyant stream]

i've got 17 Egos and 1 id left to shard to complete my collection

[atomic steeple]

I grabbed mircalla don, for example

[bronze zephyr]

I got tired of Heath always clashing like shit lmaaao

[cosmic gorge]

How good is binds heath anyways

[buoyant stream]

still really solid

[cosmic gorge]

Hmm

[atomic steeple]

Also sharded contempt awe ryoshu

[buoyant stream]

i just have the Season 1 and 2 BP and Event egos left pretty much

index faust and sinclair walp ego

and that'll be it at that point

[faint pivot]

Sharded Don's Telepole and Faust's Hex Nail for Envy res

Oh yeah CA was a shard for me too

And Ryo's Thora

Also sharded Outis' Dimension Shredder for Envy res

I sharded Capote and Christmas Nightmare for Hanafish

[bronze zephyr]

Oh everlasting Faust was a shard for me I think

Tho i don’t use her really

[faint pivot]

Rhime Shank was an awesome shard tbh

That's the one I'm recommending most

[bronze zephyr]

Ooh true

Think I also sharded cavernous wailing hong lu but idr

[atomic steeple]

Getting that eventually, for sinking team

[bronze zephyr]

^ this is my goal for ego as well lmao

[faint pivot]

Tempted to gun for that and Ish's Roseate Desire

[bronze zephyr]

My current prios

[faint pivot]

Hmmmmm

[bronze zephyr]

Ig I could grab 4th match over wishing cairn for Yi Sang’s slot but

Shrug

He’s last

[faint pivot]

For "an EGO for every slot" I'm missing:
1 Teth
2 Everlasting
3 Teth
4 Teth
5 nil
6 Teth
7 Binds
8 Blind Obsession
9 nil
10 Dante
11 Teth
12 Teth & Binds
13 Teth

[faint pivot]

What's got you gunning for Wishing Cairn specifically?

[bronze zephyr]

It’s between that and 4th match and wishing cairn rolls higher and gives paralyze
If another yi sang teth drops before I grab Cairn tho I’m grabbing it instead, maybe this walp…

[faint pivot]

Holy shit did not realize

I could grab this for my gunner team...

Have lots of extra Sloth there

[bronze zephyr]

It’s 2 same turn para

Also sloth fragility

Also good on blunt weak Yi sangs cuz it gives 3 blunt protection

So if ur running solemn lament then yeah

[faint pivot]

Humu, humu

Thank you for enlightening me

[gentle mulch]

if theyre good ya

[buoyant stream]

sometimes i forget that people have to shard the BP egos if they start playing after that season ends

[stoic fjord]

i lowk haven't sharded a single E.G.O yet

[buoyant stream]

i've sharded the gacha egos and the notable good S1 and 2 egos

and all the BP egos since Season 3 came naturally

[bronze zephyr]

I’ve had BP since S5

[faint pivot]

Hokay, wish me luck on my 2nd go at LobCorp's final week folks

Here's to hoping that the button lets me memrep on the same day like I think it does

Cause I'm going Through the Dark Twilight again

[main scaffold]

[faint pivot]

Discoveries & relearnings:

• The button indeed causes a same day memrep but you still aren't keeping the EGO gifts
• On day 47 at a high meltdown level ||Netzach toggles off healing bullets, Hod switches work around, Malkuth makes you unable to cancel work, and Yesod can sod it||
• When the ||red ordeal of white is present, either distract it or make sure it's bored so its laser doesn't surprise us again||

What in the world did I just watch

Peak Animbus, 10/10

[tired canyon]

i hired my stepdaughter to stare at you

[faint pivot]

Watched a clipcomp on Holocure's Surprise Quickmaths miniboss and now I'm wondering about what narrative that would map to in a PMoon Abnormality

Was hilarious so I'm sending it to #video-game-discussion

Anyway I'm reminded of the first Mass Distortion encountered in DD and sphinxes

I'm sure some variant of crushing is relevant be it from the education system, the timer ticking down, or the choking pressure exams give

...hm, I'm not sure which work/s this thing would appreciate
How do the work ratings tie into an Abno Narrative anyway?

[karmic escarp]

one dollar

[faint pivot]

1 dollar off of that achievement

Is it still in this MD actually? The "end the run with 0 Cost" achievement?

[ebon forge]

zwei ishy soon

next is cinq don, rb ryoshu, then the rest im missing ids from, and rodya last

afterwards, it's all the EGOs, so... like 48 EGO

luckily for most of them i only need 1-2 EGOs

[stoic fjord]

I don't think so

The Si Branch heishou deserve an MD E.G.O gift

As does Don Quixote our wonderful little ram

[faint pivot]

Spring Cultivation Bokgak, trust

[cosmic gorge]

i believe it

[dusty sigil]

You know, I’m kinda surprised Middle Outis’s skill 1 is lust instead of pride

Since pride is a big sin affinity for both Matthias and Outis

It’s peak

[halcyon agate]

peak

[atomic steeple]

So, what are the best ids and egos for sinking?

[faint pivot]

Rhime Shank

Ishmael's Bygone Days for Manor Echoes

The Centipede Poison from her alt Zayin is pretty nice

SL Gregor is an amazing burster

[lean fjord]

SL Yi Sang is very key for IDs

[faint pivot]

As for best, you'll have to choose between which of the 3 Sinking trends you'll go for:

1. Sinking as supplement to damage: Latest one introduced with s8. Indexers + Fauvists mainly. One could class Udjatis and Lampgor under this too
2. Deluge: Spicebush Yi Sang plus as much Sinking Count as you can muster. Focuses entirely on Sinking
3. Butterfly: SL Sang with Count support and a defender or two for the king. Blend of the former two

[lean fjord]

Butterfly is just too important

[faint pivot]

...I should've asked for what content this was for

My yapping is solely in the context of MD

[atomic steeple]

Anything, really

I have 2/3 sinksangs
I gotta grab the index units still

[stoic fjord]

Index is less sinking and ime is more poise?

[buoyant stream]

i run this for butterfly

[stoic fjord]

Spicebush is heavily outclassed at this point even if viable

Butterfly is superior

[split beacon]

you run Butterfly if you want to kill humans and Spicebush if you're joking around

[buoyant stream]

[stoic fjord]

Spicebush is for fun

[buoyant stream]

yeah spicebush is for screenshot farming imo

[stoic fjord]

Butterfly is for killing your enemies without remorse

[split beacon]

FASshu makes butterfly a LOT stronger

because Butterfly triggers per-attack and FASshu just throws out so many extra hits

[crimson spindle]

spicebush is for min turning specific boss fights

[stoic fjord]

Even in different departments... they're still looking out for each other... 🥺

[split beacon]

absolute artistry

[stoic fjord]

Both Yi Sang and Ryoshu pairs are E.G.O gear users... hrmmm...

Lamp Gregor with Garden of Thorns might actually go crazy once the full middle team is out

[gentle mulch]

Aren't you forgetting one

[stoic fjord]

...?

[buoyant stream]

Garden of thorns highkey the first Waw that should get a threadspin 5 to count as whatever sin the highest resonance is

1 AM and I haven't done MD this week fuuuuu

[stoic fjord]

MD is fast if you do it with Bladeshu ime

[faint pivot]

...nor have I cleared the event shop

So that was what I was missing

[buoyant stream]

oh that one is a bit bad

[faint pivot]

Not getting her yet since RR6 is tomorrow

[faint pivot]

Fell Bullet Go

[buoyant stream]

also i just saw someone point out that Matthias did all the shit we saw him do in the Canto without his dominant hand

[stoic fjord]

Oh, right

[stoic fjord]

...ouch.

[cosmic gorge]

Oof

[stoic fjord]

Wait how do we know it was his dominant hand removed

[cosmic gorge]

Which one of the NFs was locked in in comparison

[stoic fjord]

Mmmmaybe Rien? Not the entire time but

[cosmic gorge]

Callisto?
Ok no not locked in

Which one of them wasnt held back by some ailment of some kind

[stoic fjord]

None of them

[cosmic gorge]

Ah yeah

[stoic fjord]

Valencina is a severe alcoholic and probably either tipsy during the fight or if she wasn't drunk, hungover

[cosmic gorge]

Callisto?

[buoyant stream]

wasn't callisto the only one ryoshu didn't cut to ribbons on her escape?

[cosmic gorge]

Aside from art blick

Block

[stoic fjord]

Bro just wanted to talk about art

[keen palm]

Valencia was drunk and wounded, Callisto was specifically toying with the party until part 2

All of the Nursefathers were crippled in some way by Ryoshu though

[buoyant stream]

Yeah Callisto specifically wasnt locked in for the most part

[stoic fjord]

And then once he stopped toying with us ||he was met by his exact hard counter||

[cosmic gorge]

Yeah that art installation shit was freaky

Genuine horror movie monster

[stoic fjord]

||The second smoke war must be fucked|| for bro to have been prepared for that

[keen palm]

Oh it's true lol

He drives with his right

[stoic fjord]

Oh crazy

[keen palm]

and lost his right

No wonder he just steps on people to squish them

[stoic fjord]

I wonder who the strongest NF was

[buoyant stream]

he also lifted his glasses with his right hand in thatr one baby cg

[keen palm]

It's a tie between Rien and Matthias

Rien may, barely, ek it out

[lean fjord]

Rien I think

[buoyant stream]

this is the point where i bring up that one theory i read on twitter ages ago that Rien vs. Matthias vs. Valencina was a three-way-tie RPS

[lean fjord]

Rien was still holding back a lot during the fight

[keen palm]

By levels, it's Rien and Matthias, Callisto, Valencia, and Shiomi

[lean fjord]

Valencina might be better in a 1v1 specifically though

since that's her whole deal

[faint pivot]

Aye

[keen palm]

Valencia punches up because Evades are broken

[faint pivot]

More inclined to believe this since Hohenheim Performs

[keen palm]

Valencia solos MDE floor 15

[buoyant stream]

in Terms of gameplay i lowkey shit bricks when i see Matthias in MDE

Val is slightly less bad

Ring duo and Rien are whatever

[keen palm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e42u_cIreaQ

Sound of Death

[lean fjord]

all the Nursefather fight themes are so good

Valencina and then Matthias are my favorite themes though

[buoyant stream]

lore wise i'm a big sucker for the Matthias - Val - Rien Rock-Paper-Scissors stalemate theory

[stoic fjord]

I've been thinking about Twining Threads a lot

And how ||Valencina seemed... maybe a tiny bit less awful while she was actively at war. Like, the little bit we see, at least.||

||I imagine it's because she had to be sober then.||

[worthy haven]

Quite a bit better honestly

[lean fjord]

||the war was her good time, in a lot of ways ||

[stoic fjord]

Like she's still overly abrasive and kind of an ass, especially to a like. 5 year old Ryoshu

But... she's... softer towards her, still.

[buoyant stream]

To elaborate (i already posted this earlier this month if it reads familiar) it's basically each of their fighting styles countering and being countered by each other:
||- Rien's fighting style being so unpredictable due to the Prescript gambling and not even him knowing what'll pop out next makes it impossible for Val to predict.
But since Matthias basically fights like an animal on pure instinct and on reactions (as shown in the fight against the LCD) he can brute force through it.

• Meanwhile Val can just precog Matthias' moves and since her accel rounds make her attacks faster and faster combined with her fighting style being insanely good at drawn out 1v1s she eventually just shreds through.||

[worthy haven]

||I think it's because she hoped it would rehabilitate her maybe||

And then yeaaa

[stoic fjord]

The entire House of Spiders just makes me feel sad

[gentle mulch]

the house is very sad

and now it's being turned into WayCorp'

s new home

[stoic fjord]

I wonder what a kinder world would look like for them.

[stoic fjord]

Not that there really is such a thing as kinder circumstances in the City.

[buoyant stream]

My personal reading of Val always has been ||that she has completely and utterly lacked purpose in life since being thrown into the HoS which led to her indulging her vices (most notably alcohol). So when she got to bask in the "Glory" of the Smoke War that filled the gap she had been drowning in Alcohol previously||

[faint pivot]

1st MD of the night done

374 shop currency

[lean fjord]

yeah as much as the war sucked, it was also her glory days

[unique bane]

||that and she has someone else to take out her anger on||

[stoic fjord]

Yeah

[keen palm]

Its not her anger

While fighting the war she has hope, she is in her element, she is able to walk into a world where she is a queen and everyone gives her the respect she deserves

I think its actually a telling part of her character that Valencia drinks whiskey and vodka

[split beacon]

in what sense, that she's trying to get DRUNK drunk rather than enjoy a buzz?

or savor a drink for that matter

To me it’s telling in general that Valencina savours vices associated with relaxation - she clearly got into drinking and smoking because of the absolutely crushing stress the Smoke War put her through with no proper relief, and the Valencina of the present is adapted to that stress to the point that she misses having concrete reasons why she’s stressed all the time

She’s like a deep sea fish dragged onto land, adapted to the horrors of the Smoke War to the point that she can’t live outside of it anymore, and constantly drinks and smokes to soothe the pain while remaining unable to do anything about the combat PTSD except self-destruct more

[keen palm]

No its that she isnt drinking wine or a "refined" drink

[split beacon]

Whiskey is generally considered pretty refined

like, depending on the brand ofc

[keen palm]

Whiskey is also associated as a lower class liquor

[split beacon]

that really depends on the brand!

like, a good scotch is expensive, classy, and considered very differently than shitty blended rotgut

[gentle mulch]

iirc the quality of alcohol was touched upon in the story but i do not remember what it was

[split beacon]

Valencina drinks Old Parr which apparently still exists in the City

it's an extraordinarily expensive blended scotch

[gentle mulch]

okay thanks for the real world context yea

but i do agree that the choice of alcohol is telling, in that a high class whiskey i imagine would demand a different kind of respect than a wine

[split beacon]

it's funny that Valencina has the duality of like

[gentle mulch]

and so does kriegsspiel??????

apparently???

[split beacon]

classy, gift-worthy bottles of whiskey

which for the record, the cultural association here would be uhh

bottles like that are basically exclusively for very wealthy and powerful people to gift to equally high class friends, and then they generally sit on a shelf unconsumed for years

[gentle mulch]

and i think it's fascinating that she actually uses them

[split beacon]

but she's got Grand Old Parr and vodka she pours over her breakfast cereal

which I guarantee comes out of a plastic bottle because if they still have the concept of gifting expensive bottles of whiskey in the City they also have minimum price plastic bottle vodka that tastes like rubbing alcohol

[split beacon]

I mean, it's basically perfectly emblematic of who she is

[gentle mulch]

moments before getting Disposal'd btw

[split beacon]

She's fallen from power and now instead of receiving these astoundingly expensive whiskey collector's bottles as signs of respect, she's literally drinking the dregs of her fame alone and miserable

[buoyant stream]

yep

[gentle mulch]

it's preamk writing

[stoic fjord]

Outis not going through the door in Twining Threads is genuinely such a good bit of thematic like.

Idk it's just so fucking good

She doesn't get to treat the war as over.

[keen palm]

Never noticed his watches

[lean fjord]

That's what Temporal Bridle is

[fluid whale]

Even more than that, something is only valuable to her in as much as it can achieve her goals, as evidenced by how she treated her apprentice and Ryoshu- it doesn't matter that you're supposed to keep these aged for a special occasion, they're liquor and they taste good, so she drinks them so she can get drunk

[atomic steeple]

Her canto is gonna have the horse stalking the team

[split beacon]

I mean that's kinda whatever, if you have a whiskey collection you can drink whiskey when you feel like it

once they're out of the barrel it's not like they're improving with age

[atomic steeple]

Really?

[split beacon]

yes

whiskey is aged in a barrel

when you remove it from the barrel it just stays whiskey

[stoic fjord]

iirc the aging specifically has to be in the barrel so that like. the wood does something???

[split beacon]

it absorbs flavor over time

[atomic steeple]

Hmm wood flavor

[split beacon]

that is the flavor whiskey has

[karmic escarp]

it's not iirc
if it were though id be incandescent with rage, so red hot id be typing out curses in languages that dont even exist yet.

[dusty sigil]

Humans unironically adore the taste of wood

We just don’t like it’s texture

Most things taste far better when cooked via some kinda wood (either normal wood or charcoal) to the point where barbecue is a style of cooking focused entirely around extracting as much wood flavor into food

[gentle mulch]

oh boy weekly time

[vagrant dove]

Honestly one of the most interesting ego gifts I think

I read it as Outis' equiv to Child in the Flask (in terms of gifts that represent sinners)

-out of theme with the other medical/administrative themed ego gifts in the Greek abno lineup

-reminiscent of Outis' own symbol, a watch: time is generally quite an important theme for her (which is why she has a T-Corp id, one would imagine)

-and of course, a bridle is something associated with horses

[bronze zephyr]

Oh Outis banner soon damn

[stoic fjord]

Yi Sang is homophobic

not in a hateful way he's just scared of gay people

Redid everything?

[stoic fjord]

exagerration iirc it was something with a remodeling of the game due to a new version of unity they were using or something?

yeah something like that

[stoic fjord]

I forget, all I know is complete reinstall

[gentle mulch]

...

wait

oh no

[stoic fjord]

[gentle mulch]

that means if any part of the 14GB install is bugged i could lose progress

[stoic fjord]

fuuuuuuck

[gentle mulch]

maybe i should have thought this through...

[stoic fjord]

wait like game progress or do you mean the update itself

[keen palm]

I can't update the GAME

[gentle mulch]

like

[bronze zephyr]

MD progress?

[gentle mulch]

if the new limbus game im installing

[stoic fjord]

I'm going to assume I could theoretically reach out to support if my save gets fucky wuckied because I got all 4 collab E.G.Os and if I lost that I think I would perhaps do something drastic /hj

Oh god no

Oh god please no

Wait how are they using E.G.O turn 1

Are they getting resources from yinglong? Do they start with enough??

[fluid whale]

are you sure it's turn 1?

[gentle mulch]

envy peccas start with 5 ego resources

of all types

[neat cedar]

^

[gentle mulch]

alsoooo i hope this isnt a case where

because the section/wave starts out with a different fight

turn 1 has long passed by the time u get here

[stoic fjord]

Immediate Xishmael AoE.

[gentle mulch]

in that: i hope theyre just doing this because theyre petty mfs who want people to see unnerfed maost used against them

and not by some technicality

[stoic fjord]

In general it feels fucked rn 😭

Yinglong has some mean fucking numbers

And yes I just need to do the gimmick and it'll be okay but also

:((((((

[gentle mulch]

yeah im uh

It's fucked up

I see this is just gonna confirm all of my hatred for Envy pecs

[stoic fjord]

This is going to be the most (least [most]) fun I've had in a while with limbus

[lean fjord]

hate Envy pecs so much, they are incredibly unfun to fight

[stoic fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/anton-ego-gif-9709800945809453150

[stoic fjord]

Me fighting railway 6 having flashbacks to Lob Corp

[gentle mulch]

envy peccs are unfun and my only solace is imagining someone putting actual spite in these ones instead of yk. making another envy fight for the sake of it

[stoic fjord]

But yeah completely understandable

It is not a failing to not enjoy pure distilled suffering

[lean fjord]

the numbers on IDs just aren't made to fight each other

it just always turns into annoying rocket tag

[stoic fjord]

Too high damage vs. Too little health

Also E.G.Os

100 damage single target is not a ton on a boss

But with like, idk, 4 attack weight against a team of IDs...

[gentle mulch]

the damage numbers are not meant to be used against sinners yeah

[stoic fjord]

It's similar-ish to human encounters and like

Those get mulched

[gentle mulch]

ah wait

all those unstagger mechanics in the HoS

meanssssss we probably cant afford to 2-turn the HoS faction unless we really get all of them minus yoshihide

[stoic fjord]

Envy Pecca are conceptually neat and I kinda like mirror matches but fundamentally like Allie said they're kind of fucked

I would kinda vibe with like, a partial team with buffed health and maybe nerfed damage

[tiny cave]

wtf is with the first fight

what

[stoic fjord]

Setup for wave 4 of node 2 i believe

The 3rd turn carries over some stuff for the next time it shows up from what I can tell

[gentle mulch]

the first fight basically boosts the resistances of the other sections

[tired canyon]

One of my big criticisms of c9 is really just how many of them you have to fight in the earlier parts

Bosses? Genuinely some of the best in the game

But enemy variety outside of that is slightly miserable

Canto 9 has incredible bosses but the manikins SUCK

Which is why it's good that so much of it is the bosses

Gregor darling you have 30 SP

[bronze zephyr]

Prolly a result of the unity overhaul yeah

We’re getting a ten pull outta it at least

[vagrant dove]

One of the big appeals I think, especially in the ||gregor fight is how ally units are a piece of the puzzle||

[mystic ermine]

holy shit this railway is peam

[vagrant dove]

||e.g vergilius being your damage guy but you GOTTA make sure he doesn't clash the wrong skill and at the same time manage your Hurting Pests stacks to ensure you don't burn all your shield||

||it usually manages "you are weaker than the allied unit" without "you are just watching the allied unit play the boss for you"||

how doyou beat yin lomg?

and his bullshit ass shield phase which i get the pibns move

9i hate his 4 pbhase ass gimmick

seems like a final boss kinda type not a rail 2

[stoic fjord]

Gonna be honest, I think Railway should be harder than the story bosses

[keen palm]

dude when has a final boss been hard

[mystic ermine]

This bitch got hands

[stoic fjord]

Also from what I've seen Yinglong isn't that hard, clash the big skills and just genuinely read the gimmick

[stoic fjord]

Uhhhh

Pre nerf Lei Heng, while technically not a final boss

Otherwise

Yeah, no, Railway is a challenge mode, so even if main story content was hard I would want it to be more difficult than that

I think my main point here is that Yinglong's gimmick is straightforward and it literally takes 300 damage every time you win the clash against the skill you want to win the clash against

Like idk i don't mean to sound like an elitist prick but also it being hard is the entire point of railway

[stoic fjord]

I assume the phase 2 is harder but I'm yet to be able to play

[mystic ermine]

ANOTHER ONE?!

but the Heishou are almost all Slash?

[keen palm]

I think they meant the damage type the hos is weak to is pierce

[lean fjord]

oh I see

[dusty sigil]

Young Lei Heng and Valencina from @ R1ng041

[keen palm]

Oh the glasses are hot

[gentle mulch]

oh yeah

i completely forgot

4MF Yi Sang TS5

[stoic fjord]

Lei Heng is genuinely mogging

Artist tag appears to be chio? Chi0?

[split beacon]

people are misunderstanding simple explanations online again so I have to rant

the new abnormality risk level classification is REALLY simple

the hebrew letter (Zayin/Teth/He/Waw/Aleph) measures how bad Hohenheim's life gets when you ask him to contain this

the number (1-9) afterwards measures how bad the average LCE nugget's life gets when it breaches

a Waw-03 abnormality is an occasion for Hohenheim's headache to get worse because containing this abnormality sucks, but on the plus side it's not actually that dangerous if it breaches

a Teth-07 abnormality is easy to contain but if it breaks out you're gonna be in the shit

[stoic fjord]

Doesn't it go to 10?

[split beacon]

fuck probably

[stoic fjord]

Zayin-10

[stoic fjord]

I kinda wonder what that would be like as an abno?

[split beacon]

the evil ass murder ghoul that shreds people like butter but generates none enkephalin and all you have to do to keep it in its cell is toss it a vaguely human-shaped doll to extirpate every once in a while

[mystic ermine]

aaaalright fucken hell

re-did the envy part with some

fucked up sinking team

alright come on

[humble orbit]

feels a lot like bloodbath tbh

cannot break out. trivially easy to contain. if you poke it too much it instantly kills you

[split beacon]

yeah if bloodbath could get up and walk it would be a zayin-10 type beat

probably lower just because a 10 would have to be very inclined towards going apeshit / being very deadly in combat

[mystic ermine]

I DON'T NEED YOUR JACKSHIT MECHANICS I AM GOING TO CLASH YOU AT FULL POWER AND WIN

Much better.

[dusty sigil]

Chat, is Yinglong the biggest abnormality we’ve seen in the series? Not counting a potential bigger mountain of smiling bodies

[stoic fjord]
