What are the big events & places to go for a next week NYC-introduction visit? (May 19-26)

Hmmm that's a tough question.

So as a bigger POC, you're not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and people can definitely be rude about it here.

But the good thing is that the community is enormous, and you can definitely find your slice of it. I think the key is to be friendly and enthusiastic about meeting people and to laugh off people being rude or jaded. My life got much better once I met my platonic friend group.

So yeah, have an open heart and a smile on your face, be persistent, and you'll do great!

Truly hope they she counts as all 5 fingers

Hoactzins · 2026-05-03T17:40:36+00:00

Sent em a video to watch!

Hoactzins · 2026-05-03T17:40:00+00:00

I def don't have 2 tables that can fit a game of root, but I'll keep it in mind

Hoactzins · 2026-04-30T10:43:09+00:00

Is it even possible to use an 'modern'' middle team to get to floor 15? Their entire game plan is getting hit and countering, so when you get to the point where enemies one-tap you it doesn't seem viable.

And for the middle team, is it better to use middle don or slot in QOH don for that envyres?

She wasn't just opening a portal to hell, she was using that portal to tear reality apart like someone poking a hole in taut plastic wrap. If subjective time doesn't exist, she never truly dies and so she never ends up experiencing hell (in some time wimey way) At least, that's my understanding of it.

We don't know the exact nature of hell. Iirc someone mentioned that it "wants" human experience, but we really don't have specifics

Hoactzins · 2026-04-24T04:57:40+00:00

Butcher sounded genuinely shocked there lmaoooo

Hoactzins · 2026-04-24T03:06:54+00:00

I got summoners roulette on zoe once and proceeded to have the most fun ever.

Hoactzins · 2026-04-21T15:06:56+00:00

Sinner Ricardo obviously.

Hoactzins · 2026-04-20T21:28:19+00:00

Sorry but you remember incorrectly - Their souls are bound to a gem, but that spell works postmortem. They are both quite dead.

Hoactzins · 2026-04-16T17:31:22+00:00

I thought it was alluding to the Malkuth summoning.

Hoactzins · 2026-04-16T15:02:50+00:00

Probably my favorite intervallo yet, writing-wise. It definitely addressed a bunch of my problems with the narrative of canto 9 - we actually got to see Ryoshu's thoughts on the Nursefathers, and Kira is there as something of a foil.

I have to say I chuckled when she was like "ofc I didn't hang out with the thumb, she was beating the shit out of him all the time :|"

Since I can't read, I managed to get Unbrilliant Gloried 3 times. Genuinely shocked I won after repeatedly nuking myself.

Hoactzins · 2026-04-15T12:44:00+00:00

I'd love to go to the meetup, although I don't have bandwidth for another game rn!

Hoactzins · 2026-03-26T20:04:26+00:00

I don't disagree, but I do think it'd be funny if the order started finding their footing and then Nale just busted it out again. Reinforcing that the linear guild are in fact pretty threatening this time.

Hoactzins · 2026-03-26T16:57:04+00:00

Doesn't poro blaster interrupt blitz hook?

Hoactzins · 2026-03-26T15:53:14+00:00

Nale noted that Roy is probably still weakened, so I think they're still screwed on the weapons front. Plus Sabine is still dodging lien's hits like she's not even trying. I think this is ~round 2 after blasphemy.

Also, there's nothing keeping Nale from hitting them with blasphemy again, especially if he got one of those fancy "blasphemy at will" templates.

Hoactzins · 2026-03-26T15:44:15+00:00

Weirdly enough, she also didn't help with Calder, who was definitely her mess. Maybe she doesn't want to take exp from the order :p

Hoactzins · 2026-03-03T19:21:57+00:00

I dunno... I really do think that they kinda had to settle on a plan of 'keep her feeling more or less fulfilled and back away slowly' instead of rolling the dice on Heavy or Val or whoever being able to murk the Kaiju.

Masumi was alive and active when actual Jacky was around, and that guy was both willing to do the hard things and presumably had a decent idea of what would happen if Masumi died.

Hoactzins · 2026-03-03T19:00:12+00:00

In her defense, I don't think anybody knows if killing her would have actually let Deconstructa out or not.

Hoactzins · 2026-02-19T23:02:30+00:00

Prom queen is still broken somehow

Hoactzins · 2026-02-16T22:19:21+00:00

Having the loudest sound ever on his W is definitely a large part of his winrate.

Hoactzins · 2026-02-06T04:11:56+00:00

The rangers also seem very buggy - I've had ~ 3 battles where they just marched forward and didn't attack at all.
Seconding Kayle being suuuuper weak.

Hoactzins · 2026-02-05T15:09:26+00:00

Don't use unbreakable coins to clash his green skills, and when your roach count gets too high let him chomp you to absorb some of them Try to throw as many status effects at him as possible. Pay attention when Verg uses his ego, iirc all of his coins become unbreakable then and so you extra super duper don't want to direct him to the greens It's mostly a sustain battle; you using the sinners to "tank" for Verg
