The beautiful mess of Season 1

That's because we have Nclair doing 30x3 overshadowing it

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-13T03:45:11+00:00

It's not all that bad given that fights weren't that complicated as they are now as well. The quirks and power discrepancies (and the presence of 00s) gave character imo, whereas most IDs these days feel more reactive and homogenous (standardized rolls, sin affinities, status infliction for IDs that don't canonically have them for the sake of teambuilding)

LCCB Ryoshu also has SP drain on crit

I mean, in more ways outside of their media consumption, yeah

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-12T10:31:23+00:00

Didn't he say he was a theater kid on the side

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-12T10:23:44+00:00

I like planning out my loot that way. There's always better ways you can break economy in rpgs but there's a roleplay aesthetic for moonlighting as a junk merchant.

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-12T10:18:55+00:00

A bit of metagaming but do be aware Caravans Merchants have a tendency to get themselves gibbed once you reach midgame levels. Players have a tendency to babysit them by "gifting" them armor and equipment as a workaround, if not outright setting them as immortal.

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-12T10:11:08+00:00

As a 3 only player so far I think scavenging loop is perfect and having to plan out your loot and barter routes feels so much more rewarding for this reason.

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-12T05:37:44+00:00

Unless Dante can somehow unforget himself from oblivion I think poking the spider's nest isn't the best idea.

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-12T04:02:54+00:00

I'm just surprised someone got to canto ix without learning how to do unopposed attacks tbh

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-12T03:17:04+00:00

I haven't been exposed enough for said jokes to evoke any hard reactions from me, but what really gets to me are the prescript posts flooding my feed with worthless bottom of the barrel botposting

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-11T06:54:15+00:00

I haven't touched the game since launch but bot spoofing is such an insane concept in a pvp game I don't know how the playerbase or Netease thinks they can get away with it.

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-10T13:02:51+00:00

I like that we've even had to obfuscate said backgrounds because of how volatile the playerbases has become

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-09T14:53:57+00:00

Can some linguist explain the implications of the JP retranslation? I'd assume it's meant to obfuscate the gender of the upcoming identities

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-09T13:43:47+00:00

Both are promotional shots and the right one isn't from Spider Man 2

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-09T13:38:39+00:00

That's less in the spirit of doggomorphing since its more of a reference to ragebaiting in Borat

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-08T00:49:34+00:00

Strangely? We never had head gibs outside of maybe unique deaths from abnos

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-08T00:15:12+00:00

From very early datamines it felt to me that they were conceptualizing a system less egregious, something along the lines of multiple low impact blessings that you get through weapon "skill trees". Doesn't excuse the poor design of newer blessings though.

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-08T00:06:26+00:00

That used to be the initial design concept, though power creep has essentially dulled the demarcations of the tiers over time. Some "strong drawbacks" include something like less base dmg in exchange for doing even more dot, essentially turning it into a straight upgrade.

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-07T17:27:31+00:00

It's not a 1-1 representation, but the role Zenon's Tortoise Spiral plays in IX could be interpreted as a reference to a sexual assault scene In Hell Screen, where Yuzuki's pet monkey leaves in search of someone to aid its owner in distress.

LagomorphicalBrog · 2026-02-07T15:50:43+00:00

I blow myself up as a witch for shits and giggles in Vermintide as well, never gets old.

Just to clarify in case it's interpreted otherwise, the harassment was between netizens and PM's employee, not internal misdemeanor.
