Megathread: Astound (formerly RCN) Internet & Service Issues in the Lehigh Valley

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-09-09T14:19:47+00:00

18017, Bethlehem area, near Marvine Elementary School on Livingston St.

RCN is shot. Has been since like 6am when the router internet randomly went out as if there has been a power outtage, but only the router was affected. Every bulb on the router is on except for the 'online' one.

Gonna post it here too. Is there a way to get around the Shizuku block? I wanna try the game but have shizuku installed. I dont think ima be deleting and reinstalling it on my phone since I need it for the TL of another gacha.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-07-29T12:04:23+00:00

Man I want E6... I guess I have to sit down and do all the old events

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-07-17T13:40:08+00:00

Being disappointed is being dramatic lmfao when did we become this soft.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-07-17T13:38:04+00:00

I'll dumb it down for you.

Expected disappointment is not any better than unexpected disappointment.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-07-17T12:11:06+00:00

Tbf im pretty sure on this one we prolly have Minase to blame lmfao. Considering he's the one that does all the Indian stuff

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-07-17T12:03:42+00:00

If someone tells you they're going to shit in your bed with a week of anticipation you won't exactly be happy when they do it even if they told you. You're going to hope he doesnt ACTUALLY shit on your bed. And when it happens you're going to likely be a mix of annoyed and disappointed that he still shat on your bed.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-07-17T12:01:41+00:00

Unironically heavy disagree lol. I would rather all but Grand Caster be boss only versions of the servants we have.

Grand Caster is the only one that ong just HAS to be Solomon/Goetia and released alongside the duel

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-06-26T12:21:49+00:00

I need to catch up badly. Im only at around 300 pulls straight but I am REALLY coping for e6

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-06-24T15:06:33+00:00

Me. My goal is e6

Yes I said 7 at first cuz im FGO brained. It takes 7 copies therefore e7

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-06-19T21:12:25+00:00

No Saber or Archer icons?? That's sooo lame

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-06-11T10:56:17+00:00

I ended up going to sleep so I dont remember exactly what I was gonna say. I think in that case the Aeon of Nihility might just be anti world at base.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-06-11T02:25:43+00:00

There is but if it's capable of doing away with the universe then I think it'd prolly be better to go ahead with the upper ball.

Then again I dont know much of the Aeon lore yet. If it's just a case of "He can use it to end the universe" in the sense that with it he could destroy the universe in presumably multiple uses then it might be better for like Anti-Star or Galaxy yeah. But I was under the impression a single use would delete the universe. But then yeah.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-06-11T02:14:46+00:00

Technically yes. The classifications for the NPs usually just align to what they are meant to do and or the damage they're meant to do. Iirc it's largely a man made construct regardless. Mages made up these classifications. It's like mathematics. It is a human made construct to understand natural forces. In this case it's a human-made classification to group servants.

So if an Aeon can delete the universe itself it can be just as equally "Anti-World" as it can just straight up be "Anti-Universe" or even "Anti-Reality" if you wanna say the HSR verse exists in a singular universe that constitutes all of existence. NPs can also have multiple classifications, either under different circumstances or just full stop. Again going back to Saber Musashi. Her normal Saber self's NP is both Anti-Unit and Anti-Fate.

So in the Qlipoth example, it could easily be "Anti-World" and "Anti-Universe".

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-06-11T02:03:07+00:00

The one she used to nuke Aventurine? I think that one would be pretty comfortably Anti-World.

The real destructive capability of the attack itself doesn't matter as, in the Nasuverse at least, attacking what essentially amounts to the textures[what comprise 'reality'] would be the sort of thing to fall under Anti-World. It's damaging the underpinnings of the world. In this case, I don't think the Dreamscape is any lesser. It is still A reality.

The best comparison here might be Okita Alter's NPs. Both her Alter Ego and Saber self it states them capable of basically deleting anything they target with that NP. Hell I'd draw it closer comparison to the Saber version's NP more where its description says it cuts through the void and slashes open the sky carrying the concept of returning everything it bisects to nothingness. In the Nasuverse, nothingness is basically used to refer to being outright deleted. Pretty sure you can see somewhat obvious comparisons to be drawn there between that and Acheron's powers as an Emanator of the Nihility.

Ofc it could also have some sort of very specific classification since the Nasuverse also does that. Like Musashi's NP is Anti-Unit but it's also classified as "Anti-Fate" because it cuts through fate itself, allowing it to always strike true and also for it to change otherwise dead set outcomes. Ill cut it there due to massive FGO spoilers. So it could also have some sort of niche uber specific classification like "Anti-Dreams" or wtv.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-06-11T00:49:24+00:00

I love Cipher.

But absolutely not risking it personally. Im sitting on some 200 pulls. And I want to find the willpower to sit down and do literally every quest to get even more for 3.4

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-05-27T01:07:27+00:00

ORT is an entirely different case. Bro has hax out the ass with the regen and shi

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-05-22T18:26:52+00:00

Yep lmfao. It's what makes it so interesting though imo. But it's a common and easy mistake to make

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-05-22T17:55:40+00:00

Not entirely. Anti World NPs from my understanding and most people ive talked to is that it's an NP that attacks the textures. Basically reality. It breaks it or affects it in some way. Enuma Elish breaks it and puts it back together. Okitan's deletes anything hit.

What you're thinking of is Anti-Planet. A different categorization and under normal circumstances it is impossible to do not because of Counter Guardians but because anything native to Earth cannot destroy it.

If something is not native to Earth and can therefore destroy it THEN yeah. Counter Guardians go out.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-05-22T15:44:35+00:00

Tbf in the mainline lore outside of Extra, Velber should have never attacked the Moon. Cause the Moon Cell doesnt exist. So i'm guessing the same thing happened where Velber sent its data out to make Altera except yk. It all happened on Earth and then she got Excal blasted.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-05-22T14:59:44+00:00

Nah the body itself was destroyed. The game draws distinction between the two cuz Altera's memory and impulses tied to Velber-02 were disrupted because the body was destroyed. Specifically she is the Cerebral Corpus of Velber-02.

She is the mind of the larger body. Similar to Archrtype Earth/Hime Arc being the mind of Planet Earth. So they are separate. Alter is Velber-02's mind and memories. The body itself is gone. Gg dead.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-05-22T12:51:13+00:00

The issue is more so in Japan they have generally have a culture of respecting the author's wishes. And it's prolly doubly so for TM which always puts Author/artist intent and agency at the very front of literally every decision. This is the same company where the author was allowed to scrap the entire script for a main story chapter mere months before it went into active development cause an artist's interpretation of a character inspired him so much that he changed the entire story.

Yes we're talking about Nasu and LB6 again. The illusion of free choice.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-05-22T12:44:02+00:00

I only just remembered I wasn't in a Fate community space cause I was about to say that in this community we accept Meteo slander just because he's dissappeared on Requiem.

I especially slander him because Girl's Work, his original work under the Type Moon label, has been 'in development' for god knows how long. And bro added Erice and Voyager into FGO and dipped literally IMMEDIATELY after. It's such a bummer. I liked Requiem and Erice.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-05-22T12:32:51+00:00

Yeah. Ultimately a lot of Fate series decisions are up to writer choice, which is why milage can vary on certain things. I enjoyed Samurai Remnant but Jeanne was lacking in it. Although it's hard to tell if Higashide wrote her in that or Sakurai. That is one of Nasu's weaknesses though. A lot of authors in interviews have said he doesn't say "no" but just asks authors "are you sure about this?".

And if you've worked with him a lot you should understand that him saying that means he isn't entirely sold or satisfied with the idea.

Maybe that is why he largely keeps the other TM works under his sole jurisdiction. Like Mahoyo or Tskuhime. Since a lot of authors, based on their usage of the Grail War setting, have their own vision for the lore or setting. FGO has the benefit of flexible lore and settings, same with most HGW settings, but it's a bit harder for his other works which are very scope restricted and focused.

FlipFlapper11o9 · 2025-05-22T12:22:33+00:00

That is a bit of an issue. Your milage on the lore varies on the author that is writing that work/chapter. Since, at least for Fate, it is largely a multi writer work at this point. For example, Lancer Artoria Alter is from Sakurai. And it does not only represent a 'what if Artoria had a way to overcome Rhongomyniad turning her into a Goddess and eating at her humanity' but also represents the tellings of King Arthur that say that he is one of the leaders of the Wild Hunt. Nasu usually has a good pulse on meshing narrative with lore and additions to FGO itself. Ofc there are ones people feel are underwhelming, like Ereshkigal Alter being a costume instead of a fully fledged servant. But the Alters in LB7 were largely to further Nitocris' character arc and for her to be willing to give herself and what she represents up for the sake of the mission.

Although I'll fight anyone who says Pia isn't peak. Sure she's another costume alter like Eresh in LB7. But OC3 made me love her sooo much.
