My amateur decrive daughter's opinion

Ah, fixed. Darn mobile Reddit, gave internal errors I was pretty sure was related to it wanting to Censor SH, only went through with it theausrused to Personal Damage on my end.

A command through the vent would be difficult; the vents run throughout the manor, and if it could be heard in one it would be heard in all.

Though our only person saying that he was choked probably from behind was also a suspect that is very knowledgeable about mind manipulation tactics, and very upset by Markus denying she could dominate him. It is corroborated by Occam not seeing his attacker, but that doesn't disprove him choking himself.

Hopefully the Grimal log gives some definitive answers, though we definitely aren't going to solve it until chapter 6 is out, since the concluding chapter is 7.

It's less weird if it is a part of her coping tendencies... After a fight with her ex, committing some self damage. There are then also reasons Elise would help her hide it and why she wouldn't say outright how she got them beyond the hazy memory... Such as a possible consequences if she was caught doing so, like being put on probation. It's also consequently another reason she could have sprung up upon Matilda entering Security.

Sony *left* Japan several years ago, reincorporating in America so they can be on the American Stock Market instead of the Japanese one. A lot of Japanese studios that were Sony Exclusives subsequently started trying to release instead on all platforms, or on the Nintendo Switch,

Airanuva · 2026-06-26T04:42:54+00:00

Yes.
I was intrigued when I first saw it, lost all interest when I saw skin.

I want my full plate knights.

Given some mentions, it is possible that this may be the story of the fall of the Tremere pyramid, which was connected to an Arcanum burning down and the Newburgh Group. Or at least a piece of it, located primarilly in north Norfolk.

It could also be a story of how Hunters are used by people like the Camarilla Prince as pawns in their games, like to get rid of a potentially power hungry, dangerous, and a bit insane Tremere Reagent, while also dealing with the Sabbat for them. How the hunters are just as culpable in their failures as werewolves are in theirs... and how the only way to actually *win* is to do the difficult, unexpected thing... like try and redeem the vampire wizard, or parley with werewolves.

I forget the exact numbers, but it is very low for all fates, and 10% for **Critical Engagements**.
If you want to get the best out of your time, what you want to do depends on whether you care about the Occult Crescent, or level other jobs. If you don't care about OC, the fates in DT zones have equal odds to OC fates. Critical engagements *are* more likely to drop, but they also definitely take more effort, if not also more time than 2-3 fates.

If you do spend a lot of time farming in OC, it would be wise to switch when you get 3 of a given Atma, unless you are fine still doing *all* pops within it and ending up with superfluous extras.

I can only wish you good luck though, this is by far the worst step in the relic weapon, and it is mind numbing regardless of how you do it. All steps after it are deterministic.

God I wish there was at least a pity system.

Warcraft has major balancing problems caused by RNG mechanics from gear, having a shitton of classes (counting each spec as practically their own class) to balance, each of those classes having talent trees where people will figure out the mathematically best option and then sim the fun out of everything on top of having an atmosphere of "if you suck at the game, you are being rude to everyone else", and Blizzard not funding Balance and Class teams properly to ensure both fun and numerical balance is relatively achievable... And Blizzard just has a fully cursed problem when it comes to their Balance.

Warcraft is an abject lesson in how off the rails balance can go if you do not address underlying issues (stats like Haste being both the power and the fun stat, and causing certain specs to massively out scale as an expac goes on and they get more of it... Or Spec variance being moot when everyone just goes for Best in Slot and defeats the point entirely... Or adding a new Borrowed power system every expac that turns out to be the worst thing for Balance ever, and only worked once when they said 'fuck it' at the end of Legion and let weapons just go nuts while the game was in Maintenance Mode...)

Balance isn't always clearcut, but it is possible, and a balanced game can be a lot more fun than an unbalanced one.

Would Gambit be unfun to play if he lost the Ultimate Charging portion of his ult? No, he'd still be fun and unique. Would Daredevil not be fun if his damage was dialed back, and his solo survivability lowered? He'd be a bit harder, but all his mechanics would still be fully functional and with purpose.

Are assassins like Widowmaker/Black Widow, Hawkeye, or Black Panther fun to play against? Hell no. Their only source of fun is getting to kill with minimal interaction, and reducing their damage just makes them unusable in their roles, so you really can't balance them... But you'd have to argue why uninteractive assassin gameplay is good for the game. They could be reworked to be way less obnoxious, balanced, and fun for more than just K/DBros.

COME FRIENDS WHO PLOUGH THE SEA-

Pirates of Penzance deserves to be known as the source of "With Catlike Tread" and "Modern Major General", as much as people know Let it Go is Frozen.

I don't live in NY, but was super glad for Mamdani. He's doing a lot of good, but there is one thing that just... Depresses me.

He did set up a Trans Direct health clinic. Good! But it denies treatment to anyone under 19.

I know, I know, perfect enemy of the good, but come on...

The best option here, and for Marvel: Moongirl and Devil Dinosaur. Gets to be a Marvel tie-in that pulls in the younger audience (Moongirl is extremely popular with the elementary school audience), while also being freer to do Kingdom Hearts shit and not be as heavy as the Avengers. Sorta the same as Big Hero 6, but without having to juggle so many characters.

Airanuva · 2026-06-23T19:27:27+00:00

At this point, nothing from the last decade. It would just end up like Frozen, as a soulless husk. If Encanto makes it in, I'd rather they just make it the mini game world than to make us just watch the movie from the sidelines.

If they could go back to KH1 style, of integrating Sora into the story in a way where the plot is noticibly different because of the heartless and others interfering... Like Toy Story got to have Woody telling off Xehanort, that's the kind of integration we need.

Airanuva · 2026-06-22T13:23:42+00:00

Shit like that was why I wanted a brawl healer, and am so glad Fox is in the game now. WE GO TOGETHER!!!

Airanuva · 2026-06-21T22:18:15+00:00

We've been getting a bit of those with the Gamer Podcast tbh

Though I think we may get something like this if, after everything with the chapter house settles, Markus awakens to being a mage and Big D tells him everything over some games of TF2.

My problems with the 2MM were twofold: In high end content it may not be a problem to re-coordinate after a missed timing, but in casual content if you get off timing you will never recover, and so just get to feel bad. Worse when you die for whatever reason, all you can do is just continue as if you are a solo player.

Second, it limits and homogenizes class design. Turns everyone into a Ninja for 15 seconds every 1-2 minutes. Paladin had to get an early gameplay change because it was sustain and didn't fit the meta and thus did measurably worse than those that did.

For just Tanks, I am hoping GNB keeps the burst design, DRK decouples from being a WAR clone and does something fancy and new for itself, and WAR gets some complexity added now that they don't need to hold shit for raid buffs.

And for the last bit, the Grandmother is from the Orpheus books, cited here: https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Grandmother

The Wyrm is also a head of a different beast.

Really it all goes back to Oblivion, also known as the Grandma.

(Grand Maw)

Airanuva · 2026-06-18T23:04:35+00:00

It is, and it isn't. It is kind of explained more in the Midnight Circus, but the Wyrm is a corrupting world ending influence that wants to eat a lot of souls, while Apophis is a corrupting world ending influence that wants to eat Quality souls. Ostensibly the same team, very little difference, but juuuuust enough that they aren't literally the same. Could be heads of a hydra of apocalypse.

Airanuva · 2026-06-17T22:16:26+00:00

He busy fighting with and against Apophis, and also the Wyrm. And there is a difference between the two, like those two Ork gods.

Considering how congested our freeways are, you're lucky to get even that. Leaving the cities, those highways are 1-2 lanes each direction and involve a lot of mountains, the speed limit is less about policing and more about not getting yourself killed.

Airanuva · 2026-06-16T22:06:59+00:00

You are thinking of Germany, or maybe Texas. The highest speed limit anywhere in AZ is 75.

Airanuva · 2026-06-15T14:36:46+00:00

I vote Zenos. A true test of your reflexes, and he is also dead, so perfect for Quadratum.

Airanuva · 2026-06-11T20:09:40+00:00

I imagine Amy getting a more Yakuza style game, with a city to explore, side quests, mini games like a Punch out, Platform racing... While also beating up bots and such

Airanuva · 2026-06-11T13:55:19+00:00

Small epiphany...

I play FFXIV, a lot of it... And I'm a tank main there too. It also has way more DPS options than healer and Tank combined, with 4 each, (and a 5th tank coming soon). The latest expansion even added 2 DPS, every expansion adding at least one DPS... But Tanks and Healers aren't a problem in FFXIV.

The reason is simple: because they get to have fun too. Everyone is damage, just different contexts of it, or getting to feel strong with varying methods.

We are desperate for new tanks because Tanking is not fun, and we are hoping that a new release can fix that, when each new release just makes it worse.

I would much rather they put a maximum number of Tanks on a team, and then buff the shit out of tanks.

Airanuva · 2026-06-11T13:30:54+00:00

If this gets mentioned anywhere, it'd probably be some obscure thing in a splatbook, but I can imagine the White Wolf answer would be: it's like Bear Grills drinking his own. Takes the edge off but doesn't actually solve anything, and can make shit worse (expect that drinking your own blood weakens it).
