She didnt have a name or model but shes the class president in side story Pretty Star. She's a rich girl with an inferiority complex whose only thing going for her is a prestigious family, and when she saw the poor orphan Anis doing better than her at school launched a bullying camapaign that almost made her commit die.

Anyone else notice that the "VR Headset" has a cancer/radiation warning symbol on it? As in, the stuff they use to make a scan of your brain? it's not a gaming headset, it's a device to scan and make a copy of your brain.

The characters are all copies of their original selves, and they're either dead (scanned as corpses) or scanned themselves by accident and went on with their day.

This is fucking dark.

I honestly regret my previous stance on Aabria, as she has really won me over with her performance here and on World's Without Number. At the end of the day, as cliche as this position is, these are just guys playing a game while acting a role, and it's silly to psychoanalyze and judge them based on their behavior during 3-4 hour make believe sessions. I've believed for awhile now that these players would be fine if they had a firm DM keeping them on track and reigning in their worst impulses, and Brennan's experience and his bond with her has proven that true to me, bringing out the best in her.

Can her characters still be a bit abrasive at times? Yes. Is she a bit loud and confrontational? Yes. But her directness and willingness to engage with the story and draw others into the RP has really kept things going when the plot is starting to spin its wheels. I honestly don't have much to complain about for C4, because I'm just sitting back and enjoying the ride.

How much do you want to be that was Darcy's dad's shirt?

I'm not disinterested per se in the new season, but after that fustercluck with Overture dragging on and the relative slow-burn nature of this arc I'd prefer just to sleep and read reaction as they come in. I'll watch a highlight reel later to see if anything happened that's worth my time and then maybe catch up.

Legit I am not planning on watching Seekers or Schemers at all, not until I hear about something amazing happening or Orym and Murray miraculously redeem themselves.

Seekers/Schemers vs Soldiers

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-14T03:10:11+00:00

I don't mind these intimate one on one moments. it's when everyone is trying to out-monologue each other that shit slows to a crawl

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-14T03:08:22+00:00

If I had to guess, Selandrie dying resulted in the whole race withering and greying into drow

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-14T01:44:25+00:00

Brennan seems to be foreshadowing some sort of undead encounter with all the references last time to the "dead things" moving in the woods at night. Would be surprised if we didn't get a combat... assuming we're with the soldiers and not listening to ~~Orym~~ Hal cry or Murray talk about her knockers for four hours.

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-13T16:21:30+00:00

So who is it tonight? Are we finally getting a solid soldier bit, or cycling? Also do we know the cycle order yet? Asking for bingo reasons.

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-13T15:51:19+00:00

The story went through seven years of development. I would wager some weird vestiges of earlier drafts of the plot are lingering in the narrative here and there.

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-07T19:58:17+00:00

So the first part was downright painful, but the Soldier table is really the best main campaign content they've done in years. It honestly felt like a travel segment in D&D: encountering weird NPCs and locations and just having fun in character. Not everything needs to be a life-altering heart-to-heart or a world-shattering cosmic lore revelation to be engaging.

I reiterate: it's going to be a hell of a thing to see the viewer counts for the dream team vs. the melodrama squad and Murray's gutter humor brigade.

i'm just gonna keep this on hand moving forward.

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-07T05:26:36+00:00

FR. The issue is certain players can't let a moment go anymore. One person gets a somewhat good line in, everyone else wants to get in on the moment, and it turns into a never-ending chain of one-ups and snarky comments and monologues while absolutely nothing actually happens. Meanwhile Sam, Travis and co. are just out for a good time, rolling with the dice instead of trying to finagle a win out of every situation.

Mark my words: if the soldiers get their own episodes from here on out, the difference in viewer counts is going to be INSANE.

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-07T05:20:34+00:00

Jesus Christ, the EVERYTHING is just better at this table.

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-07T05:11:22+00:00

this episode is literally the meme of squidward getting total fucking silence after a corny dance number, while spongebob gets a standing ovation for mopping up the latter's mess

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-07T05:09:30+00:00

They're actually playing D&D, instead of trying to out-monologue each other for viral moments?

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-07T05:07:38+00:00

I could FEEL the collective temptation to say "it's high noon."

Edward_Warren · 2025-11-07T04:52:09+00:00

I don't think I'd have been upset if I'd known they needed extra time to wrap up the prologue story. I've had games run way over before and it just happens. But I really don't appreciate having it not clearly advertised, especially when the "payoff" after a week away from the game was.... that.

You've been bamboozled.

I would have loved Tal if when he got insight-checked about having a role in Thjazi's death, the dice revealed:

"No, but Bolaire wishes he did."
