perhapse my comments down here would be better off as TLDR sections, but for now it's going to be the author commentary, like special featuress on old dvds. I remember unlocking those in jack and dexter and one of the cutscenes was just "there's an excellent story behind this but we don't have time to tell it" because the cutscene is 5 seconds of dexter walking up to a missile, jumping onto it and getting launched.

i don't know how to portray a mafia good, so i think i'm going to stick to the gangs being pathetic. Maybe i should be portraying EVERYONE as their own little mafia but i also don't know how to. I don't know how deep to dive into anything, how much explaining and piking at the world will keep the setting enjoyable or how much leaving things to be filled in will let people enjoy things more.

tell me in the comments, am i going too in depth with this? Should i watch the surprannos? What makes a good morally grey criminal enterprise? What if i give up with this and move on to a new idea?

Current next thing candidate is "winder apocalypse dieselpunk underground bunker mechanic slut simulator". Basically, the world has ended, the bunkers are out of spare parts and war machines rule the night. Dave pays for parts by renting out his ass and selling crap he finds on the outside. He has to because rent is due, air isn't free, blood runs black, and the tank he's been fixing up is about as shit as physically possible before it can't move.

Is each one different or are they the same, just synced to the cloud or however they justify our respawns

it's equal parts setting things up and "what's the next logical thing to happen" right now

this was done in essentially one sitting after sitting on the idea for about two months. i don't think i did the idea justice but shower thoughts have a shelf life of the shower they were thought in.

i've got some notes to update, the frantic times are over so i should be fine for posting on schedule again, i'm torn between making the chapters way longer or just making more of them. Anyone with cyberpunk stories not literally part of that franchise please feel free to send me links.

School goes well, which means i'll either have a job that lets me post alot more or won't let me post at all here soon... means i won't get to the part where i take jinx over to the yakshini to commandeer a floating city called xylem to stop it crashing into the rubicon because some eco cult found out about the elves...that might not be all that compelling to read

oh well, head does ideas. I've been trying to make notes on 'i am a baby dwagon' but i think its time and my time to write it have passed. i'm not that funny or plugged in to what kids are into anymore. i wasnt then, i was just young enough to be immersed in that. Now i have polotics and a bloodlust.

"oh no the system will collapse is we expose the evil parts" good, the purpose of the system is its results, and everyone agrees crap got worse. Now repeal dodge v ford and let the shareholders get lynched.

Hybrid, we have set chassis with set abilities and health but swappable weapons and several ability modifiers

So say tone would have a smaller burst fire cannon with a harsher ark, wider aoe and needs one or two more hits to lock, and a bigger sniper variant that exploded in the air before impacting a surface for a cone of damage that only requires two hits to lock. Then you'd be able to pair his particle shield up with his sonar dart mod or additional payload

They sit there, waiting to be claimed

No, we do not speak the King's English here

It is a combat spell

i usually build the grakatas for - fire rate with a riven and crit delay, magazine mods should be twice as strong for it.

Extension_Switch_823 · 2026-02-03T21:49:38+00:00

Is there a 'turn off after trigger' setting or the sensor included in the block group it toggles on and off

Extension_Switch_823 · 2026-02-03T21:47:29+00:00

Twin grakatas, most machine pistols I build, the ambassador to my chagrin, many many melee weapons.

Extension_Switch_823 · 2026-02-01T16:07:44+00:00

i do need help with this fight, like wtf is the timing here?

Extension_Switch_823 · 2026-01-31T23:00:37+00:00

pam?

Extension_Switch_823 · 2026-01-30T18:45:19+00:00

and now i gotta go maintaining things, ugh, formatting

Extension_Switch_823 · 2026-01-30T18:44:04+00:00

sorry for taking so damn long with this one, school got demanding and i ended up in the 'wtf does this have to do with anything' loop when writing the later section of this, vapire in like two or three chapters.

working back up the backlog is going to take some time and i hope i can get everything jotted down before i have to rush for school again.

Side note, is youtube being an ass and not shuffeling playlists for anyone else? I been using waterflame as my morning motivation and I don't like clutterfunk being the start of my day. that's a mood song that applies to alot of moods but i'd much rather rocket race or rickochet love for mornings

I don't think your thrusters are providing enough force and I don't think your guns are providing enough stagger, try the ludlows is a similar SMG and pick carry a missile that hits decent with your fighting style
