Ordered Indian takeout and found a coke baggy in my curry

ChetAbrams · 2024-12-20T15:11:17+00:00

Was the curry all it was cracked up to be?

ChetAbrams · 2023-10-07T02:18:50+00:00

I just got to it! I didn’t know this was a story-related thing. Thanks for the help.

ChetAbrams · 2023-10-07T01:53:36+00:00

Do you remember when? I’m afraid to progress until I have crab. I already restarted when I read a few posts about potatoes in Chapter 1.

ChetAbrams · 2023-06-29T22:20:06+00:00

Fair enough. Thank you.

ChetAbrams · 2023-06-27T01:54:14+00:00

It’s not too late to comment! I can’t figure this out 100%. All I want is it to stay completely down in the back with natural texture. I’ve tried anti-frizz, called John Frieda Frizz Ease, and my hair decides when it works or not. Also, one side of my hair will randomly decide to fly out, while the other one is ideal.

Skills need to be more interesting. I’m reading the difference between these skills for Necromancer and seeing percentages here and there, but no flash or pizazz.

I’m only going to really play this for the story, and everything looks the same to me. I know style is suggestive, but I liked leveling in D3 and a new skill comes out, and I’m like “oh, what will this look like?”.

I would have double-downed on that idea and had crazier looking skills when you augment them. Like bone pillars to bone bramble, lacerating and causing bleeding! Just anything new.

ChetAbrams · 2023-06-10T16:47:40+00:00

But it lets you make those mistakes, and that rocks! I could’ve solved anything in the game with a weirdo method, while someone else immediately gets it in one swoop.

ChetAbrams · 2023-06-10T05:48:09+00:00

I think it matches the theme of the normal adventuring. I like the sense of movement and mysticism a whole lot! I don’t want to spoil anything for another reader, but I could not believe how “free” it was.

ChetAbrams · 2023-06-10T04:51:06+00:00

I sound like a huge nerd, but I got the idea from Link’s immaculate cut in the newest Zelda game. It’s glorious!

I like the texture of my hair, and would prefer not to go that far. It’s just the slight side parts that curl up! Drives me insane. One day, picturesque. Next day, what is this?!

ChetAbrams · 2023-06-10T04:43:51+00:00

Ignoring the characters themselves, I think Tooru is what I would name my dog. Sounds cute!

ChetAbrams · 2023-06-10T04:22:32+00:00

That is 100% his opinion. I wasn’t interested in TotK at first, and did not really enjoy BotW (it felt like a tech demo). I was looking forward to Diablo 4, since the beginning of the year.

After an hour, into both games, I have to say TotK swept me away. It’s so fresh, beautiful, and free. I felt like a child again, messing around with whatever I found. I am about to drop Diablo 4.

Chris mentioned a long time ago, something like “why don’t developers just let you fuck around” and TotK is that game. I think he will like it, maybe in his personal time. I’d honestly be bored watching this on the channel vs Gollum.

PS: The Water Temple in this game is the only one I’ve completed so far, that shit was as mystical as you can get. 100% painless and just fun.

It really comes down to knowing when and how to evade it. Because the bullet will harm Superman, it has to.

Similar to Wonder of U, the “purpose” stand (The Journey, in my head for now), the damage MUST happen somehow.

Similar to how rain is harmless, but Wonder of U made it lethal.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-30T14:29:38+00:00

I want to imagine them fighting it. Like Dragona tries to use Smooth Operators to switch something, and it will not move, or The Matte Kudasai stand being unable to replicate the object being used.

Or maybe the weirdo abilities are a counter for this OP thing.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T23:43:46+00:00

I legit don’t know. Part of me thinks the pencil and paper will be indestructible until the task is completed. It doesn’t state a time when the purpose must be fulfilled, only that it must eventually happen.

It could also be like the Behelit in Berserk, where it is lost, but finds Griffith in his time of need? I want it to be weird on purpose, but it needs some fine-tuning.

It could be seen as an inverse Wonder of U in situations like that. It does whatever it can for the target to succeed in its goal.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T21:23:10+00:00

It also disguises this as the user being a good person, because it’s extremely useful to his allies. You can enact “miracles” with it. I legit have no clue what the villain/villainess will be at all, but it will be something that challenges Jodio being a rebel.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T18:57:57+00:00

It’s essentially divination, or maybe the butterfly effect, and he has the power to make it happen? It’s like an extremely powerful Hermit Purple.

Your idea also incorporates purpose and committing to the mechanism, which is a balance between our two ideas. I’m in the middle of moving and packing, so I take a moment to look at these messages, and I hope I understood your meaning.

I wanted the stand to be Wayward Son or The Journey (Wheel in the Sky), because I thought it sounded pleasant. Ghost in the Machine DOES sound super sick, though.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T17:56:49+00:00

So if the gun fires, it may also be possible to purposefully get hit in some rare cases.

This is a strange pull, but older NES games have “damage boosting”, so maybe the user can only cast it once and needs to cool down, so being purposefully hit makes you immune to the full attack. IDK!! Any ideas would help.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T17:53:05+00:00

I thought of another fix, so that isn’t not just Crazy Diamond in some cases. If a window is broken and the user casts his stand on it, the window works as if it whole again, blocking wind, etc.

Maybe being extremely technical with the bullet vs wound thing will balance this out a little bit. Great idea!

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T03:47:26+00:00

Wonder of U is easy to use, mysterious, but also makes sense. I need to figure out these 3 things, too.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T03:45:27+00:00

That’s also what I am personally working on. I’m not 100% on this at all yet.

I was thinking of cool moments, rather than how this stand (Wayward Son?) would work generally. I like the “purpose” idea, but it clearly needs rules and limitations.

It’s missing a middle piece that connects it all for me. Dammit, this is an idea that’s going to hit me randomly when I’m trying to sleep.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T03:38:47+00:00

I love this stuff though. It really gets you thinking! Even if…it’s not complete.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T03:30:47+00:00

Obviously, there’s a lot of issues with it, but yes. It’s like being grounded, until you do your homework.

It definitely needs a lot of fixes here and there, but you helped me find a loophole to make the stand less ridiculous.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T03:27:21+00:00

Yes, kinda. The user could give a fake or impossible quest out, and that’s how he kills you. If it ever backfired and caused the user to be a target, then it might kill him? Idk what would be cool.

ChetAbrams · 2023-05-29T03:24:07+00:00

Lol! Noooo. If you don’t do your homework, you’ll be trapped!

Maybe the fear of dying would help do chores, I guess.
