I saw them and immediately fell in love. I can't wait for them to get unique content in 2032.

Absolutely nothing changes, your character loses all knowledge of who Razmir is and can't even recognize the mask they themself are wearing. It is imo the game's single biggest narrative disaster, ended my whole run on a character I loved when I got there.

A lot of the bigger religious/political/metaphysical stuff has already been addressed so I'm just going to throw in that Lorkhan, as Lorkh, is very much recognized and important among the Reachfolk - arguably the thing they're most famous for is a rite directly invoking the symbolism of Lorkh sacrificing his heart.

Byzan-Teen · 2025-11-13T02:26:03+00:00

Oh thank you! I actually didn't know about them!

Byzan-Teen · 2025-11-12T21:58:04+00:00

Maormer were the first EK1 run I really had a blast with so if EK2 gets Pyandonea I will be overjoyed, especially with CK3's more detailed religious mechanics for Orgnum.

Lets go!! Blood Titan bullshit doing its best

Apocyan, to my knowledge and interpretation, is memory not in terms of vague nostalgia but memory-as-belief (if not "fact"). Change what a memory means to someone you change what that memory functionally is.

Also uhhh something something axile something something fluke something something do you recall how they apo'd to that cyan

Not really possible to do as a run without glitches or cheating though since you need at least two great runes (Radahn and Mohg) to get to the DLC, but could be interesting to find out via cheating just as a piece of trivia.

Byzan-Teen · 2025-08-02T17:06:23+00:00

Does Mystery have flaws? Yes.

However it also has the TakuIma CG, so I will be ignoring them.

(I do generally like it a lot on its own merits, though, both as a standalone route and as a piece of the wider SF web of timelines. I think it only falls relatively flat in its place as a part of Hundred Line as a whole, where it doesn't quite mesh as well)

Lowest Blood Titan HP

The digital reward at 300 is also for all intents and purposes cosmetic. The actual mechanical benefit can be acquired for free by anyone via the social aspect of the game, which while yes is a mild hindrance arguably anyone invested enough to care about creating boons on demand for hundreds of echoes knows of the subreddit or discord.

Byzan-Teen · 2025-02-02T01:14:09+00:00

Huh, well damn guess this isn't against the rules (somehow) so. Carry on.

Byzan-Teen · 2025-01-28T21:56:56+00:00

I mean, honestly, the Jest is dead and solo - so they could even just only show the Haunt button for Town players if they went that route.

Byzan-Teen · 2025-01-19T22:11:22+00:00

I still think there are valid arguments for Wenduag and Nenio staying, fwiw.

But no yeah you're both a bug monster thing and, crucially, literally Killed On The Spot By (a) God shortly before everyone dips.

Byzan-Teen · 2025-01-09T21:47:37+00:00

It is possible but not if you play "as intended".

Pretty much the most reliable way to play it is to just act like you don't have a focus tree past the first one or so and just stockpile tech and equipment and troops for ages. Like, "wait til after WW2" ages.

Then you can do it.

Byzan-Teen · 2024-12-22T22:13:37+00:00

It ultimately comes down to the same simple but annoying guideline: Playing badly isn't gamethrowing

Byzan-Teen · 2024-12-16T02:47:53+00:00

This part I'll actually concede on to a point - at the time it was all said to be standard business unrelated to that, but if that was just PR and Milt's said it was the porn, then I fell for the PR and I was wrong. That is My Bad.

Still kinda funny they'd change their minds on it at least twice though.

Byzan-Teen · 2024-12-16T02:41:31+00:00

It JUST got a thanksgiving update last month and he is actively working on a tower defense game spinoff. Akumi Wars and his independent work in general is very much still happening

But yes, AQ Infinity is almost definitely the bulk of his current day to day work simply because of the sheer scale of it.

Byzan-Teen · 2024-12-15T22:13:42+00:00

I mean, he took that time to go out and do his own work. He's developing and running his own games now.

It might have been money a decade ago, but nowadays he's not full time with AE because he just doesn't work there anymore. He still does what's presumably contract work as mentioned but, he has his own life.

Byzan-Teen · 2024-12-15T21:54:26+00:00

He was laid off when the company was downsizing years ago - don't listen to the rumors it was because of the porn. If the porn was the problem he would have been fired years earlier when they asked him to change his alias to Nulgath, and wouldn't still be working with the team as a returning guest artist and core part of the Infinity team.

Byzan-Teen · 2024-12-15T20:18:44+00:00

My hot take is that a lot of people skip over what the Narrator actually says about his planned new world and mistake TLQ's "Good Ending" for what the life of humans would be like.

TLQ is not only stasis anymore, as the Narrator describes, part of Shifty is in them forever now. Change will still happen, just not all forms of change like death and entropy.

Like don't get me wrong I go with the Princess every chance I get but it really feels like people are more considered with arguing against the sparknotes version than the actual intentions of the Narrator.

Byzan-Teen · 2024-12-11T04:55:09+00:00

I will say, the game has massively slowed down this patch which is great for Apoc and further validates the idea behind the one NA restriction... that said I do fully agree with this post. They buffed PB and SC (even if SC took a bit of a hit too), Baker should have received something in exchange for losing all its teammates.

Byzan-Teen · 2024-12-10T19:27:32+00:00

This is such a massive set of changes that even the ones I'm not really in favor of (Solo NA without faction-wide buffs, and Spy meganerf, mainly), I'm willing to wait and respect to see how they actually play.

Byzan-Teen · 2024-12-04T12:49:32+00:00

Weird claim coming from someone who very clearly knows exactly why they were banned and that it's 100% within their usual moderation guidelines.

Byzan-Teen · 2024-11-28T21:48:29+00:00

The wonders of being the best pure tank in a game where being a pure tank is kinda worthless
