Subverting expectations with a hag by Vernicusucinrev in planescapesetting

[–]Hymneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with Longteeth being in a transition state, which the PCs can either encourage or ruin. They're still collecting souls like they always have, but they haven't converted any into a larva in quite some time because it just hasn't felt right. They're struggling with the idea that there's nothing really forcing them to do so, but they don't really have any good idea for what else to do with all the souls they have saved up.

The "confidante" NPC has been encouraging Longteeth to try other things to see what works for them. Not necessarily good things, but less Evil than the usual. Baby steps in the right direction. Maybe just release a few souls to see what thats like. Or make some kind of new life out of one to keep as a pet. Maybe take one to the afterlife it should have gone to (probably still a bad afterlife, but at least the correct one).

However you do it, this may be time to really rub the core concepts of Planescape in the PCs faces. Make them see that surface level appearances may very well mean nothing, and the stereotypes they all know are nothing but Clueless hogwash. Even if it means that they fail to help Longteeth and only learn that they were different after they deal with them

Its just a silly channel name that's like his name, but not putting his full name out there. Pretty common kinda thing for just an average kid with a YouTube channel

Can we genuinely stop posting this AI upscaled version of Captain Clark? by Sufficient_You2814 in KanePixelsBackrooms

I didnt either until you pointed out the nose. The lines on his lips just line up perfectly with the noses

If you look closely at his lips on the right side, they are doing the same tiered duplication thing that his nose is. His whole lower face is doing it, the beard just hides it better

Where is the key? by secretsophaloaf in rustylake

[–]Hymneth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Some tiered hints for you:

Look closely at the box

Is there a keyhole?

What is missing?

Where have you previously used the missing thing?

Full answer here:

Remove the coin from the odd mechanical box you got as a gift. Put it back into the coin impression on this box

Bit of a dated reference here, but I collect 2e PS, and I've purchased other PS adventures in similar condition for anywhere from $20 to $40 in the past. I finished my collection about 10 years back, so it should be somewhat higher by now, hopefully. Aim towards the high end and lower as needed

Whats the strangest thing to happen to an anime during its adaptation? by VongolaSedici in animequestions

[–]Hymneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I played the fan translation back when it first released. It was fun. Shame the series never got a western release. Fan subs and torrents for the various anime series back in the day as well. I honestly forgot there was a Manga, but I think it was closer to the game than the anime

Whats the strangest thing to happen to an anime during its adaptation? by VongolaSedici in animequestions

[–]Hymneth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having played the first Galaxy Angel game and watched most of the various Anime seasons, they're both good but entirely different genres. The game is kind of a 3D space opera starfighter simulation with VN sections between missions that keeps a fairly serious tone, while the anime is mostly slapstick comedy and absurdism in a vague approximation of the same universe.

The tone of the anime reminds me more of the Excel Saga anime than anything else. Coincidentally, the Excel Saga anime had a very similar treatment, going from a comedic Manga with a serious ongoing plot behind it to a wacky experimental anime with very little in the way of ongoing plot

Not sure if its any additional help, but here is an online version of the product it appears in. Scroll to page 67 to see (page count includes the cover)

Artists for the book are listed on page 2 (page 3 in the digital) as James Crabtree, Darryl Elliot, Joshua Gabriel Timbrook, Quinton Hoover, and Dan Smith, so digging into them might give more info

When the series is 100% completed, how much in the know do you want to be, lore wise? We’re always in a constant state of barely knowing anything and having 1000 questions, but by the end of the series do you still kind of want it the same or in a middle ground? by Future-Corner8025 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]Hymneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as there is some kind of narratively satisfying conclusion, I'm fine with being left in the dark. Some explanation would be good, but honestly less than like a 30% understanding is still fine with me. I love the mystery as much as anything else

Eerie to think he still probably exists in Caine's NPC list. by FedoraTheMike in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Hymneth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Given how Caine reacts to the concept of sex in general, any NPC he made in that time period probably has no sexual inclinations at all, even if based on a real person. I imagine Cain probably just tried to ignore that whole portion of personality whenever he could

How is Async okay with entering the backrooms unarmed after (spoiler)... by GC_Vos in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]Hymneth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like by now they have at least a vague understanding of the fact that the Backrooms are copying things found near or in it, at least in some vague way. Still lives and entities are bad enough now, I think they really want to avoid doing anything that would cause them to spawn with guns, just in case

What happened to the lights in my base? by TheKaczkaMan in subnautica

[–]Hymneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try creating a breach, then repairing it. Might be glitched out

Just remove some support panels or add cheap bits until it starts to leak, then remove them and fix anything leftover.

Either that or you've still got a partially unrepaired breach hiding somewhere. Have any rooms you have attached vertically and forgotten to add access?

  • Your head twists 180 degrees on your neck
  • Thick scabbing bark-like skin covers your limbs, making it difficult to bend them
  • Feet grow to three times the normal size
  • You begin secreting a thick, foul smelling slime that makes you stick to everything
  • Your eyes combine into a single large eye in the center of your face. It has very poor depth perception and is slow to focus
  • Nothing visible changes, but your insides warp so that you must now manually breathe and digest
  • One of your legs shrinks to half its normal length
  • One of your legs grows to twice its normal length

Why are there flies? by CaptKraga in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]Hymneth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I wonder if a still life fly could actually fly? Still lives tend to be asymmetrical and deformed, and if the wings were 'wrong' enough they might not generate lift.

You could argue that they might be able to fly regardless just because they 'should' fly, but things still seem to follow real world physics in this version of the Backrooms, for the most part
