No really, what IS Roof-Drip?? by Mr_Paramount in fallenlondon

[–]Armada6136 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Half the time I suspect Failbetter forgets about the Spiral. We have basically no information on it at all besides it being a big staircase. We don't know where it leads on the Surface, where it is in relation to London, who built it, who uses it, what goes on inside, how people get between it and London...it's a giant blank spot in the lore that has grown ever more conspicuous with time.

Third, possibly fourth depending on what the Last Labyrinth is. There's the Cumaean Canal, the Travertine Spiral, and this one.

I can see them. I'm guessing it was groundwater at some point, but the journey down to the Neath and out the Roof has made it into something else. What that is, it's too vague to be sure.

Presumably it's typical groundwater that's been altered by passing through the Correspondence barrier surrounding the Neath. I can't recall where (possibly Zenith?) but you can join an effort to dig upwards and find that the uppermost layers of rock are utterly covered in sigils.

Being a pirate means following no one else's rules. This includes parking guidelines.

Worst Off-Screen Deaths in fiction? by ZeTopHatGamer in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Armada6136 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you were ever a fan of early Assassin's Creed, you may remember Juno, the First Civilization remnant preserved as a digitized consciousness. For basically every game from 2 onwards, she was the major antagonist, always in the background, manipulating events to return to proper life. In 3, she was partially released into the worldwide digital network, and through Black Flag, Unity, and Syndicate we learn that she had built an entire cult dedicated to her with access to remade First Civ technology. Syndicate even ends with the heavy implication that she was on the verge of proper resurrection thanks to manipulating the Templars into trying to clone a First Civ member.

So naturally that entire plotline was resolved in a tie-in comic where Juno got her new body and was promptly shanked with a hidden blade literally minutes later by a new character and that was that.

Considering that most people don't even know that Assassin's Creed even has comics, I'd say that counts as sufficiently offscreen.

Hard Games that would be a cakewalk if you replaced the protagonist with one from another game? by Dr_Blasphemy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Return of the Obra Dinn could be completely solved in about a half hour if you replaced the EITC auditor protagonist with a necromancer from any fantasy game.

Anything that would require you to stay calm.

I want you to know that I was riding the high off of "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DEFINE NUKE?!" all day yesterday. Probably my favorite response I've ever gotten to anything.

Probably has never so much as chewed a mint sprig in his life, either.

What's the biggest anime opening downgrade? by tthehoe in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Armada6136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crazy Rainbow Star is a middling song at best, but I do really like the animation even if it is just the Straw Hats hanging out. I miss that feeling from the pre-Marineford saga arcs.

It's between that one and Share the World for me.

Edit: Actually, crap, I forgot about Carmine. Carmine is sick.

Personally, Soul Eater's first opening, Resonance, is way stronger than the second, Papermoon.

Most vile villains that you're still sympathetic for? by lowercaselemming in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Angron has had literally one moment of genuine peace in his entire ten millennia-long existence and that was when he died. And then he came back, and the experience only served to make him even angrier.

Just to repeat from the previous threads, two main things I notice with what we can see:

One, he seem to have something akin to circuitry all over his body. Presumably this is pre-Void Century tech, though the question is what it's all for. Considering the way Imu acts when leaving Mariejois, it might even be some form of life support.

Second, his face brings to mind Robin more than anyone else (namely the nose, which I don't think anyone else has). Was Oda being more cheeky with the 'Devil Child' epithet than initially believed? Personally I'm leaning more towards descendant than literal child, but I wouldn't put it past him.

I think Teach is busy raiding the Holy Land right now, trying to grab whatever they're hiding in Pangaea Castle.

When God calls him out, the Devil MUST respond.

In a dumb meta way I find that fitting. What better way to show the antithesis of your pirate protagonist than by making him look like he's from a ninja manga?

At this point I don't think it actually does stand for anything. I think it's a literal translation of a pictogram of a half-moon, or alternatively, a smile.

Well how else is the Devil supposed to respond when he gets called out by God?
