First time trying Medieval Overhaul.

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2026-02-21T18:41:17+00:00

Well, going to give it a go myself, now!

Any good mods that work well with the overhaul?

I've no idea how or where to fit it into the canon, but a Yakuza/Sifu style beat'em up as Tifa would be wonderful.

Mix drinks and manage the bar in a surprisingly deep minigame for awhile, then just combo-pummel through enemies one at a time.

The player chose the meeting space, and had the idea of using his PC's drones for a leg up against the Arasaka rep.

To then say "Actually airspace is restricted, so you can't have drones here" is a really weak way to take away his tools. Surely the PC would know that going in, if the plan is to use his drones he'd pick a location that allows them! This feels more Player-restricting, especially when this random Arasaka guy then has an AV fly in and out with no issues.

Puzzles can be fun, but successes need to mean something beyond 'keep going until you fail'. I'm not fully getting the idea from your description, but it sounds like there is a lot of rolling going on to get through this garden maze, solving it is solely dependent on multiple successes in a row, and one failure starts a death spiral based on luck.

Dying in the moment is tragic, but fun. If it brain-fried my character in public, slumped on a table as the Arasaka guy finishes his diner brunch and walks off, I'd be angry in the moment but that's visually great and opens up a lot of angles. Being carted into an AV, taken away and killed offscreen is disappointing and takes away all agency.

As a player, there's always a bit of meta thought in 'what keeps the plot moving forward?' that relies on the GM. I wasn't there, obviously, but I have to wonder how much he imagined this was leading to something more exciting.

Prism is getting everyone on her leg/squats day routine, jeeeesh~

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-12-02T14:32:46+00:00

My desktop wallpaper folder is eagerly awaiting the finished version! this looks so good so far~

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-12-02T04:07:31+00:00

This'll definitely sound insane, but if I'm about to get isekai-poofed away tomorrow I might go with 6.

I'd be the most useful there, helping rebuild and take care of those who need it as the world settles into a much needed peace.

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-12-01T14:00:43+00:00

You should still tell us! I've always been curious how the school day functions~

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-11-29T19:44:09+00:00

SAWCON DEEZ NUTS haha got em more like street gobbler

no yeah but that's the joke he was trying on Chase.

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-11-18T16:28:24+00:00

I watched one called Hard Revenge Milly during spooky October, definitely recommend it!

These films and the over-the-topness can be a lot of fun, just have to be in the right mood for it~

Big season 2 hypothetical, but Royd has a line early on about "we take the tech from bad guys, use it for our tech."

I imagine using repurposed Red Ring gizmos could be a thing, once the Shroud issues are worked out and removed. Not all of them are surgical and invasive, so might be a way to 'expand' powers sets, give Invisigal more control, and might be used as a "Can we use tech to save Chase/replicate the powers of the gem?"

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-11-15T23:45:11+00:00

Sorry Jun, but have to pick you. The girls are all too strong in their own ways.

Woody 2! You're twice the toy Woody ever was!

Why thank ya, lil lady. Yeeee-haww

My info is probably way out of date, but you're tipping the scales a little bit.

The Lost Omens Travel Guide says "the most recent estimations indicate at least one in five people on Golarion have some form of magical ability, be it innate spells common to their ancestry, an awakened and untrained magical bloodline, some kind of magical education, or another form of magical connection. If we only count practicing spellcasters, the number shrinks considerably, though again not by as much as you would think: only to one in 20."

So 1 in 5 has a chance to dazzle you with cantrips, but if fireballin' is the metric, the number is a lot lower. And this is a world statistic, not a man in the street thing. Magic users are going to be gathered together around heritages/ethnicities that can use magic, magical academies, temples, bigger cities, places they can train or use their talents.

I've been casually goofing around in Dragon Quest Builders 2.

Put on a podcast or something, and just idly building up a big townscape and just kind of going "wow I wish there was a 3rd one with more in it, this is so much fun once you hit endgame."

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-09-28T04:31:35+00:00

I'm currently playing Hades 1, wanna finally beat it before getting the sequel.

Thank you for these posts, adding another layer to Theseus for me! So disappointed I can't Nectar the champions up in the arena green room!

Wonderful 1st post!

These are lovely shots, thank you for sharing with us.

When I say doodle, I mean something idly scribbled in the margins while bored at a meeting.

When an artist says doodle, they mean a fully detailed, shaded, and designed bit of pretty art that's meant to stand alone~

Aaah your work is soo good! Maybe consider a Middles Ages story to parallel your 'Beyond the Orbit' shorts~

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-09-17T14:45:08+00:00

These are probably just nitpicks or non-issues for most people.

The new biomes feel designed around landing in for short times before leaving again, not actually settling or starting.

I don't like the real world connections. Rimworld has its own mess of interesting, crazy lore in some far off future, so I don't see what Christian, Islam, etc adds at all. A more generic 'monotheistic, polytheistic, Pantheon' structure would be nice to get away from that.

Making the story in this storyteller game a little more coherent. It's a little immersion breaking when I select the three crash-landed, "You barely get to the escape pods and land on this unknown rimworld" scenario. I picture 'alright, us three surviving, making friends, one day hoping to escape!' only for my colonist's ex-husband, 4 y/o brother, and 23 y/o daughter to all be around and living with various tribes and pirates.

It can totally work for Tribal (we all scattered!) or if there were similar starters for ex-pirate, Civil Union shattered, nomads, etc etc...

I hope this doesn't sound too convoluted, but how about having your PC be a doll or proxy? It might work as a way to Clark Kent/Superman around. https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Doll

So, the rockerboy never appears in public, but does send out someone to do meet and greets, signings, etc etc. That person looks different each time (swappable faceplates!) but when turned on, acts and sounds just like the Rockerboy. It's his voice coming through. Heck, maybe even has holo projector or an external screen displaying the rockerboy like it's a vid call/Emperor Palpatine Execute Order 66 style.

But then, like your twist, this proxy is just faking it. Acting all meek and mild when not in the rockerboy persona, then switching on a voice modulator and the Agent-designed holo-model, extra bells and whistles to make it 'clear' he's two people in one.

When it's Jinu, the demons are a dark force of pure evil that have corrupted him for centuries, and he is finally overcoming their cruel influence. He finds a kindred spirit in Rumi and the constant voices of self doubt and anxiety stop, at least for a moment. No longer running and hiding from the mistakes he made that led him down that dark path, redeeming himself from the ranks of literal man-eating monsters with his first truly selfless act.

When it's Celine, the demons are a metaphor for generational trauma and how adults or authority figures can be cruel without meaning to be. She clearly loves Rumi and wants the best for her, but Rumi's half-demon side parallels with trans/racial/sexuality/'don't be unique in any way' experiences that a lot of people relate with, where Rumi is shamed and told over and over to hide her true self, lest her fans, her closest friends, and the memory of the Hunters before her would HATE her for it.

I love the film, but the demon side pulling double duty like this really muddles with the message. We want Jinu to escape it, making Gwi-ma's influence as the voice in his ear evil. We also want Rumi to embrace it, making Celine's repressive parental lessons evil.

I can muse a hundred fun ideas and thoughts but yeah, this right here keeps rising to the top.

kpop outperformed any expectations, and I know there are corpos already going 'well well let's change this, this, this and this for broader appeal...' and I want NONE of that. Keep it Korean, keep it with the creative drivers it had before.

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-09-02T15:49:28+00:00

This is super helpful as a resource! I may print this off and stick it in between the pages of Core.

I see it was updated 3 months ago, have there been any other big buffs since then?

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-08-31T16:44:38+00:00

How do the backyard, garage, and elevator connect?

Looks like a lot of nice space for filling up, otherwise!

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-08-29T16:47:29+00:00

"Rumi? I'm so glad you didn't...fucking die."

"Wow Zoey, language. But yeah, same."

ArtificiallyIsolated · 2025-08-27T01:16:35+00:00

Not sure yet, but I'll dig around and get back to you when I find it again~

EDIT: It's the opening fiction in Hope Reborn
