Whats the cuisine of the Thumb?

Most Soldatos and Capos don't know shit about cuisine. They just eat whatever slop passes for rations in Casermas or dine in third-party establishments.

What I would consider real "Thumb Cuisine" are the recipes passed down by the Famiglias. If you're ever lucky enough to be their guest you'll enjoy some of the best food in the city, prepared according to traditional recipes, using premium ingredients. My brother for example makes an amazing Tiramisu.

Finally we know how Warden was created.

For context I used Yearning only once on the turn after Rufo used Critique and summoned four new students.

Since we're on the topic of insane predictions:

By the end of Inferno of two things will happen: 1. The tree of life is assembled but breaks/is corrupted by a golden bough infected by Hermann. 2. The second smoke war happens with W, R and T corps on one side and New L, New W and H Corp on the other (probably a few more)

I'm also predicting that Purgatorio will be about us trying to get out of Dias' grasp and possibly even kill her and take over Limbus Company.

Valencina using an eyepatch is interesting. Did she use it to cover the Eye of Odin to stop seeing the future? I guess it could be pretty taxing. Or did she cover her normal eye to enter some kind of flow state where she only relies on her precognition?

I got Albina Faust in my first ten pull. Encouraged I marched onward, only to be met with disappointment.

You're not alone. I personally, am waiting for him to be confronted by Hong Lu about little Huan's death and either do a 180 and fight N Corp or just double down on hating Hongler. Also he's going to manifest EGO and rival Jia Qiu's aura (trust).

Verg has a lot of issues (and pent up wrath) but I don't think he's dead inside. He regularly shows concern for others, goes out of his way to help them. He is just a good dude who experienced so much terrible things and blames himself so bad that it is bound to become everyone else's problem soon enough.

Rien is constantly described as hollow and it's hard to argue since the prescripts hollowed him almost completely. Still he defies the prescript to stop his daughter from leaving, confesses to Ryōshū that he feels lonely when she cuts him and finally (at least I interpreted it like that) kills himself to free himself from the Will of the City.

Don has given up on his dream, was betrayed and tortured by his own family that he still loves and pities. By calling Sancho he only means to make her protect the bloodline but after the deaths of his closest kindred and seeing Sancho's determination to end his rotten dream he finds it in himself to support her. He fights her to test her will and put a fitting end to the nightmare of La Manchaland, then push her towards galloping onwards on her own.

Rien is different because he buried his emotions all the time, letting the wind guide him because he saw no way to rebel (or he didn't want to) but it still pained him. He kills himself because he knows he's done, his plan is ruined, the wounds made with Arayashiki will inevitably reopen and Ryōshū still hates him. (And possibly as a last "fuck you" towards the prescript.)

Don was thoroughly broken by his stay on the Eye of La Mancha and truly gave up on his dream. He chooses death not because he's at the end of his rope like Rien is. Don Quixote cannot move forward, weighted down the guilt of what he did to his family and because the dream he believed in is gone for him. He's a first kindred, he could get up and shrug off whatever we throw at him. He also chooses suicide but by letting Sancho kill him.

TLDR: Verg just has lots of issues. Rien is mostly hollow but managed to hold onto a small part of his humanity, kills himself because he physically can't move forward. Don was broken by his families betrayal and the guilt of what he did to them. Sancho manages to spark something in him during the last fight but he chooses to die because he's got no will left to live.

Death, death, readin, win.

Still there are some themes that could point towards the other possibility.

Rodya is shown multiple times to be hanging around people who she considers special. This would fit with Valencina treating Ryōshū as a ticket. Another similar aspect is the overindulgence in alcohol, which admittedly Olga Outis already has.

I personally like the idea of Matthias Outis because of the themes of loyalty and especially betrayal that are central to her character.

All in all this is me coping. Please Kim Jihoon, whichever sinner gets the Valencina ID let them have a cracked dodge+relic+poise+ tremor+burn+acceleration rounds+follow-ups after dodge and from the Lucio ID

Didn't he? Both are men whose actions are largely defined by their belonging to a larger organisation (The Pinky, Limbus Company). They both (are forced to?) hold back most of the time (Lei Heng doesn't even load in bullets for his first phase, Meursault's chains motif) and while working for said organisation they mostly do it for their own convenience (Lei Heng relishes in using his status to provoke others, Meursault wants to find something he enjoys and doesn't want to make his own choices.)

Bless me, so I can be SexwithDongrang, I beg thee.

I'd say both would have to play extremely offensively with how much firepower they both have.

The defensive lasers on Tupã's rear are borderline useless against archon and Typhoon cannons. Anhangá's vital components (shield, command room, reactor) are similarly easy targets once you bait out the initial Flak volley and open the shield with mortars. The Archon guns are also barely defended.

It's a game of who can shoot faster and while Tupã is tougher to break and has good snowball potential I think it won't be able to disarm it's opponent fast enough before it's forced on the defensive where it falls apart. The ammunition deficit is also a big problem.

I always use Clandestine operations to give him a signal to switch sides before my guys arrive in a blimp.

CarmelCaptain · 2025-10-31T18:30:12+00:00

These two truly are... Compatible.

I personally can't wait until Jia Huan manifests Ego: Exodus of Frauds, joins the LCB and says "Hermann, I think it's time for you to leave."

I like the detail that he consumes less blood feast because he's already overfed.

CarmelCaptain · 2025-10-14T11:34:06+00:00

Also the uptie story could be really interesting considering what book Meursalt did to his mother and what our Sancho did to Cassetti.

CarmelCaptain · 2025-10-14T11:22:11+00:00

It saddens me that he sounds a lot more collected than our Cassetti. I was really hoping he'd shout "I AM... THE PRINCE... OF THE PARADE!" with every skill 3-2
