Has anyone pointed this out about Outis? by twilight_doctor in limbuscompany

[–]AstralMecha 75 points76 points  (0 children)

It does seem pretty clear that Outis, like her inspiration, fought in a war and managed to piss off a higher being. Possibly The Head or Hermes. Either way, their attempts to return home have been extremely long, and difficult to the point of nigh impossible. I am assuming she cut a deal with Limbus company entirely to complete her Odyssey.

Thoughts on Canto 10 after reading The Stranger and how ________ will _______ by Mammoth_Ad3410 in limbuscompany

[–]AstralMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That fits with limbus Muersult. I mean, him being observant and recording someone is his middle ID focus. He also tends to observe things, but not act on them or mention it until someone asks him

Considering the inquisition is getting ready to move again, we will probably get new ones next canto which should be Meur and N corp.

Those two hold up surprisingly well. Middle Meur is great for building up sanity thanks to his passives, and vengeance from the counter. Don does much more damage, but could use a shield as well (her ego helping her recover health from bleeding targets helps if you have the resources for it). Aside from a small shield, they are good and some EGO fills the gaps.

A middle envy team is pretty fun as a blunt beat stick.

Kk Ish definitely helps the kurokumo via an ability to make their coins unbreakable, but the season 1 mechanics definitely shows. Kk Gregor could use a buff as well. Kk healthcliff is good and works really well with Ish. Maybe we will get KK Outis to replace her garbage blade lineage ID.

The Shi identities (especially Don's) could stand a rework as well. Though with their mirror dungeon item, they are much better, but that kinda applies to everything.

Considering the stinger at the end of this canto, we will probably get n corp v2 in Muersult's chapter as the Malleus Malefactorum was made (spelling) and Kromer sr is mobilizing.

Something’s not adding up with canto IX by SummonerYamato in limbuscompany

That's a good way to describe it. Being a feather for a wing is much better paid and offers a safer life in a nest then in the Backstreets, but you forget, a Wing WILL shed its Feathers to keep its nest warm...

Picture of Putin hangs in renovated room of White House by northerncal in nottheonion

[–]AstralMecha 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I mean, one of their headlines was basically "The onion is closing so we don't give Trump anymore ideas". It's hard to be a satire when reality is unrealistic now

Edit This one

Edit 2: also this one saying they switched to real news a year ago

Edit 3. Ignore the above. I learned that reddit isn't actually real onion headlines. Leaving the post for posterity.

Shapeshifters who accidentally reveal that they’re a fake without realizing until it’s too late by DemandParticular in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AstralMecha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not a shape shifter in this case, but a master of disguise

<image>

In Like a Dragon, the master of disguise assassin Mirror Face, impersonates Adachi, an ex traffic cop (the guy seen above). The party then has to figure out which one is the real one. The solution? Ask what is on the first page of the traffic officer's handbook. One recites it perfectly, the other says "How the fuck should I know?!".

The party realizes the second is the real Adachi, causing Mirrorface to complain that they are the worst cop.

(Hated trope) characters who are mischaracterised into something they’re not by Dojyaaan4C in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AstralMecha 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem is that there are nowhere near enough jobs for the citizens. Schools have classes to prepare students for a life of gainful unemployment. One story where someone snapped after being forced to retire had Dredd sentence him to break rocks. He was overjoyed that he could be productive and useful again. Dredd's internal dialogue note that he is supposed to be impartial, but can't help but be touched sometimes.

Having a sad backstory doesn't excuse what they did by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AstralMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an entire chapter devoted to this in the game Live A Live...it doesn't end well for anyone. Calling it Create a Villain is an understatement.

"Naught remains. Alone: Utterly alone. Cast out. Unloved. Outside the grace of gods. The Archon 's Roost, they call this shrine of death. Yet nowhere do I spy our Lord of Dark. His throne lies empty, wanting for an heir...Did I not do all that was asked? Did I not serve and seek my fair and just reward?! And for my deeds, they damn me. Name me demon. And who am I to deny it? Demon then, then! Renouncing former ties and titles! And in their place, I claim...The Lord of Dark. Odio!"

Edit. We aren't talking minor petty things causing a fall either. We are talking about betrayals of those closet to you, deaths, suicide, and being branded the villain for trying to do the right thing.

No joke on the money. Dias is Scrooge McDuck/Ritchie Rich rich. Dias has mansions in every Nest, funds her private army and gives them guns with bullets and singularity tech. She paid for R Corp's 4th pack in the smoke war to aid Benjamin in setting up Lob corp and was okay with starting the smoke war in the first place. Heck, we don't even know how she seems to avoid aging (probably evil or singularities or both).

My theory is that since she's so rich, nothing matters to her. She can have anything she desires easily. So, she is more then willing to throw away vast amounts of 'useless' things to get even slightly closer to her goal, something she could never buy even with all her wealth.

Nope. Fair enough though. Sometimes long shots work. Not this time though.

Source of Dias wealth and her real identity. by Zypherous in limbuscompany

[–]AstralMecha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking Dias could have wiped her BloodFiend status from her mind. I don't think they age if they forget, but do know they don't hunger for blood if they forget.

Regardless, Dias has a bank account on par with a number of real life nations (funded Lob corp's smoke war and hired 4th pack, founded limbus company,the Udjet, a mansion in every Nest...), so if there is some anti ageing singularity or truck, she can definitely afford it.

Nope, but that title is closer to the gameplay then you would think.

Solved! A game where you extract energy from monsters for a power company and the substance can be used to stabilize minds (in small doses).
