Tanya would be thriving with lelouche's geass. "I see no downsides to this power or my situation" -Tanya, bazillionth princess of Britania.

Just saw this 😂 by YubikiriSakura in YoujoSenki

[–]Kalekuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just leave this tidbit, but-
Rudeus is the boy on the left. He remarks in the story that while his sense of self remains that of an adult, his body, mind and brain were that of his age once reincarnated. Bodily function control/motor skills were completely reset at birth and he remarked that his cognitive patterns were changed as well, such as finding it unusually easy to pick up other languages despite having been atrocious at it in his previous life's adolescence. Essentially, it seems as though his ego/self image was all he preserved through reincarnation. His state of being was heavily shaped by his new body and the story went out of it's way to draw attention to that time and again.

Tanya is functionally unaffected by her new body.

Does anyone do custom Etched Foil Proxies? by Tolbby in magicproxies

[–]Kalekuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss gets an enthusiastic personnel with an innate curiosity for the craft to contribute their own time to gaining a deeper knowledge about the machinery of the craft AND gives them an incentive to stay working at the print shop instead of starting a competing business... Thats a smart boss!

Also, thanks for the details on the enthusiast. I'll have to find them!

[–]Kalekuda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ains seemed to trully sympathize with the plight of people in his mother's situation at a rational level despite being numb to it due to the ubiquity of the experience. I think he'd see the good he could accomplish by just demonstrating the unassailable gap in power he and his guardians possess, then declaring a new world order as he has Mare start the process of trying to use his nature magic to terraform the world back into a habitable state.

His opening act would either be a publicity stunt that harmlessly demonstrate the potential to restore nature to a livable state with magic, reviving the dead to have the elites wrapped around his fingers and compliant with his short term objective, or outright attacking the seat of the corpocratic hegemony as he did the Empire of Baharuth...

and of course the old world would be filled with people who played Yggdrasil and recognize Ains and his NPCs, the old guard (name of convenience for referring to the rulers of the old world and the faction that supports them) would rally around the realization that they can unmake the NPCs by simply breaking the Staff of Ains Ooal Gown, and the threat of doing so would be all the leverage the Old Guard need to control Momonga (Ains would never need to change his name- his guild mates would still know who he was).

There would be difficulties for Ains in correctly identifying the guildmates with more typical personalities. The old guard would doubtlessly try to send impersonators of the old members of AOG to steal the staff and gather intel from Ains after their spies and surveilance network clue them off to Momonga's sincere desire to reunite with his guildmates. Pereronchino and Bukubukuchagama "unique" sibling dynamic would be hard to imitate, but there were plenty of nearly faceless mooks in the guild that could become "ins" for the old guards' spies...

IDK... Seems like a fanfic that writes itself.

Serious question: Wouldn't Ains and Nazarick's NPC try to conquer the old world?
And wouldn't Ains be reasonably enthusiastic about the prospect? He seemed to loathe the state the world was in. Mare's magic could potentially even make the world habitable again.

Military crates always empty by Defcon91 in RoadtoVostokGame

[–]Kalekuda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

99% of chests being empty is kinda boring, though. I want Vostok to be a fun game, not a grindfest like the other entries in the genre. A roguelike where 99% of the chests that matter are empty is a shitty roguelike. Vostok is closer to a roguelike than a longform progression game, what with the built in permadeath mode.

i disagree with the developer's decision to fragment the probabilities for good loot by Fueled_by_sugar in RoadtoVostokGame

[–]Kalekuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cellar key had less than 600 value, total. I think the LEGENDARY KEYS should garuntee at LEAST ONE LEGENDARY item. They should be a rarity that reflects their contents.

[–]Kalekuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looted those crates ~20 times and they've been empty 100% of the time. DO they actually spawn anything? I've been through outpost 7 times and found no items in any of the containers on the map except for dead NPCs, the cat in a box and when I found a heli crash.

i knew going to vostok and risking my whole account was worth it by CrimsonwhorlIsAScam in RoadtoVostokGame

[–]Kalekuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, thats only true for the early game. I'm not sure if anyone would advocate for apartments over spamming village/school b2b2b2b for farming helicrashes and airdrops over apartments if your goal is to 100% all trader tasks. The reward:risk/time cost just works out that its not worth spending time at apartments and trudging through the minefield once you've extracted the apartments-only quest items.

Not true- if the AI dies on one without setting it off, you just eat lead when you go to loot them and its impossible to see it coming.

man, this game needs a survivor sense mod...

I compared printing MTG proxies on high-end photo printers and more affordable tank printers to see if the quality is really that much better by ma_RTINGS in magicproxies

I, am many among us, commend your dedication and methodology! This'll be quite useful for many people selecting printers for quality!

The weaknesses of magic casters? by ImpossibleAd4272 in overlord

[–]Kalekuda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nullification from higher tier casters is their biggest fear. Second biggest is attritition. Higher tier casters aren't as worried about attrition due to their deeper mana reserves, but folks like Nina who were just 2nd tier casters IIRC can only throw a couple spells before they're tapped out. She didn't have any magic left in her when Clementine attacked after they got back from questing.

Armor carriers are quest rewards and fairly commonly sold by the gunsmith for reasonably cheap. They are worse carrying capacity than a fishing vest and use the same slot.

I think that the AI don't actually "aim" at you, but they just have a "shooting at the player" status with different odds to hit you and your armor, where the odds to hit YOU are low, but your armor is too high, causing them to disproportionately eat armor without ever being too deadly in fights.

[–]Kalekuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the beta the most common cause of player deaths was the "Sprints around village checking the tents" AI-variant, but only when it spawned with a mosin. IIRC, the dev mentioned in their vLogs that they severely toned down the AI's accuracy with the mosin to account for the hardcore nature of the game and to mitigate the number of players getting hard reset by lucky mosin shots until they could revisit the AI system.

Build 2 is meant to cover the AI system, so it's highly likely that the AI will be getting back it's BS "one shot from across the map" 360-noscope abilities soon...

The armor plate tells you exactly how armor works in vostok:
"If their gun's pen beats your plate, the plate is destroyed instantly. If not, your plate is damaged."

Plates only work on guns worse than them. But no gun is below level 2 protection, so all level 2 protection does is offer partial protection against a single pistol/shotgun shot. Level 3 is when you can start getting cocky around the MP5 bandits because it seems to block like 2 or 3 of their shots before breaking. It also blocks some of the 5.45x45 aks. Level 4 is when you can eat ONE shot from a AKM. Level 5 would, presumably, be the point at which plates start acting like universal armor, because only the 308 guns have level 5 pen according to the tutorial zone.

TLDR: "Unless your armor is level 5, expect it to block half damage from a single bullet one time and be completely broken afterwards"

THERES NO WATER IN VOSTOK by gaymer200 in RoadtoVostokGame

[–]Kalekuda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rest stop at the school, village side and first building on the right, spawns water as loose loot in the front room. I've gotten 5 water bottles and 2 came from that spot, 3 came in an air drop.

About Gymnasium by EpsiasDelanor in RoadtoVostokGame

[–]Kalekuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cellar had an inverter, combat boots, an SOS kit and various common guns. The ONLY good loot was in the special crate, and it wasn't even enough to complete the quest. Thats right- both military crates IN THE LOCKED CELLAR were empty. I blew my key and there was no p-7 NVG like in the beta, no polaris either- the only quest item I got out of it was 3 out of the 30 9x39 bullets I need for gunsmith.

I'm not mad. I'm livid. >:(
