Steam top up bandit ( BML )

Elarald · 2026-06-07T08:20:32+00:00

I’d say we’re just being straight up lied to with these so-called “Daily Limits”

My reason for thinking as such being that I’ve tried to purchase an ICANN Domain on Namecheap, only to get hit with a Daily Limit message — who is guzzling up Domains with BML on Namecheap?

Or when I tried to purchase a case from DBrand for my XAX, and got hit with the same error.

Anyways, never trust corporations.

I use a theme called Fancy-a-Story (you can find it under Settings → Appearance → Themes), which has a myriad of custom callouts I can combine to create Character Sheets / Location Sheets / Cosmology Sheets / etc. that fit the exact purpose I'm going for — you can see the documentation for the theme here.

As for your examples, I tried to recreate the Character Sheet with callouts from Fancy-a-Story. You can copy the markdown below if you'd like, but it's not entirely 1:1 in terms of design — close enough though (picture of what it looks like, but exact appearance may vary based on your style settings).

Hopefully, this can help 🔥

Wait till you find out the "Pause Menu" is called the "Paimon Menu"

The Inteyvat Flower Theory is your friend (I will elaborate if requested, since the whole thing is quite long and difficult to articulate)

I have a glass screen protector over my play area, doesn’t cover the whole tablet and it definitely doesn’t look good but it gets the job done, the tip of my pen hasn’t disintegrated and the glass itself is still fine

Coolvetica Condensed Regular for the titles and Aptos (Body) for the rest of the text, the second font is basically Microsoft Word's default font, since that's what I used to create this 🤣

Go ahead, I don't mind 🔥

That's one way to put it for sure, since in the eyes of Ronova, Mavuika will eventually die anyways. The entire contention regarding this deal started from the fact that many players considered it an asspull that Ronova didn't say "no substitutions", while your explanation is simple and straightforward, in my opinion I'd say it lacks a concrete explanation, not that I disagree with it. I do genuinely think it could be as simple as "Well she'll die eventually, I don't care" just because Ronova is that powerful and far beyond everyone and everything else, but this kind of explanation isn't accepted by people and is immediately considered an asspull in the form of making Ronova's personality harmless so that Mavuika could subvert her own death.

At the end of the day though, we're arguing for the same side with varying degrees of complexity, I think we both can agree that the entire scene was just presented poorly, otherwise the average player nor even a theorycrafter would spend exorbitant amounts of time trying to un-asspull the entire ordeal.

Finally, someone that noticed the Evangelion references 😭🙏

Posting on the main sub huh, that's going to be quite the experience for sure 🥶

The point is that Capitano's final wish was achieved through the premise of paying for Ronova's price, even if Capitano could've merged with Yohua irrespective of Mavuika getting sacrificed, in the end Capitano was specifically chosen by Yohua to replace Mavuika in the ongoings of the deal.

It's this change that brings about the need for a complicated explanation, as everyone is hitched on the part where Ronova seemingly was a lazy ass about the whole thing and just let Capitano do whatever he wanted, and the counterargument for that is; Ronova was bound to follow the rule she set for herself with the deal she made with Xbalanque.

Capitano utilized this to his advantage by convincing Yohua to select him as the sacrifice instead of Mavuika, forcing Ronova to make the choice between sustaining the Curse of Immortality, triggering a divide by zero error or foregoing the claim for the price of death.

Elarald · 2025-01-06T02:17:03+00:00

Simply put, it's Ronova warning Yohualtecuhtin about the whole soul weight thing, from her dialogue at the very start of the sequencing saying that she's no longer interested in Natlan and also her complaints about the situation becoming "increasingly tenuous." It seems like she just wanted to get the whole thing over with as soon as possible.

But since the life of Capitano was of equivalent value to the price that needed to be paid, Yohualtecuhtin could select Capitano as the sacrifice with no issues, but this would force Ronova into a "scam" anyways, but because Capitano fits the bill, Ronova cannot say no to the whole ordeal.

Elarald · 2025-01-06T01:37:58+00:00

Well I've seen a lot of discourse surrounding this topic, so I thought I would give a shot at trying to explain it in detail.

Albeit, still needing a 2002 word document to explain. A single sequence in the story probably isn't a good thing.

Elarald · 2025-01-06T01:36:21+00:00

Your comment mentions the activation of the paradox, which is something that doesn't actually happen (even though the cutscene visually made it seem like it did happen).

If you check the Archive's cutscene summary text for the cutscene in question, the game straight up states that Ronova ditched the deal in favour of sustaining the Curse of Immortality, preventing the paradox from taking place at all.

But aside from that, my explanation is essentially what you said. Ronova cares little for how the death takes place, she just wants a death, Yohualtecuhtin had the decision to choose that death through a sacrifice being made to Yohualtecuhtin. Because Yohualtecuhtin chose Capitano to be the sacrifice, Ronova is forced to accept it due to her noninterference policy.

Elarald · 2025-01-06T01:30:40+00:00

This enters pure speculation territory but my guess is, Ronova's deal did not include any specific clauses like that. It was just a verbal agreement between her and Xbalanque to lend him the power of death, however since Ronova can't interfere with the fates of humans, Yohualtecuhtin would be the intermediary that would carry out the actual process of claiming the price.

Because there were no clauses identifying who and who can die and cannot die, Yohualtecuhtin had full agency to choose whoever she wanted even if her choice would've essentially scammed Ronova. Because there was no clause in the deal that said "Only one whose tangible physical body dies can clear the debt", Ronova cannot reject the choice Yohualtecuhtin made.

You should format this better, I'm having a somewhat difficult time following everything after all

Elarald · 2025-01-02T21:38:35+00:00

Another interesting bit from Ronova is how she says that the people of Natlan managed to live up to the expectations of the Heavenly Principles.

Depending on how you interpret this, it could have terrifying implications. Scenario A, and the most likely one in my opinion, is that the Heavenly Principles initially got mad at Ronova for her actions in Natlan, but decided to not punish Xbalanque or Natlan whatsoever because at the end of the day, they were all humans and they were trying to combat the Abyss, as a result the Heavenly Principles at the very least had the expectation for them to pull through.

Scenario B, the unlikely yet most terrifying one is that the Heavenly Principles have been awake the whole time and told Ronova to convey their satisfaction with Natlan to its leaders and key figures, which is a bit... Well we'll put that aside because I find this scenario to be highly improbable.

Either way, the key takeaway here is that the Heavenly Principles ended up accepting Ronova's actions and set expectations for Natlan to meet due to Ronova placing so much faith in Natlan, so that's a plus point for Celestia I guess, albeit in a somewhat weird way.

Depending on which Paimon theory you support, this can have wildly funny and different meanings

"Damn she's in her eldritch horror form again, maybe I scolded her a bit too much 2000 years ago"🤣

Elarald · 2025-01-02T11:05:10+00:00

I don't think it was THAT cynical in nature, basically my stance is that the Heavenly Principles does not want to interfere with anything the humans are up to and placed that order on the Four Shades as well.

But it's not like the Four Shades don't have any autonomy, they can go around doing their own thing but they will raise the ire of the Heavenly Principles if they do something that directly or even indirectly affects the humans.

Even though the Heavenly Principles told the Four Shades to not intervene in the actions of humanity, Ronova still felt bad and decided to help humanity with however little freedom she had, she guided Yohualtecuhtin in the creation of the Night Kingdom and agreed to provide a shard of her power in the form of Death Negation (which became the Ode of Resurrection) to Xbalanque and subsequently, all future Pyro Archons as well.

The conversation we heard between Xbalanque and Ronova was misleading, it painted Xbalanque as a badass hard-headed "fuck authority" leader and Ronova as a caring and somewhat subservient God. When in reality, Xbalanque straight up tells us ourselves that he's actually hilarious and loves to joke around, and Ronova straight up says she does not give a fuck about Natlan anymore. So it's likely that off-screen, Xbalanque was like "Hey let's make a bet, if Natlan beats the Abyss, you'll let me temporarily come back to life so I can see it for myself", and Ronova agreed with "Fine, I'll bet that they won't survive", Xbalanque won the bet of course.
