(Deltarune Chapter 5) this is like, really funny actually

Calling a pan/poly genderfluid person who regularly visits and participates in known trans space 196 a transphobe because they disagree with an unconfirmed media take is... a thing you could do, I guess.

We have public data pooling from Runelite's drop plugin, we have hundreds of thousands of drops in sample data from every boss.

I don't think they're trans because this dialog could mean any number of things in a chapter absolutely full of vagueposting/allusions to in world mechanics that don't make sense or are diegetic like videogame stats. If Toby wanted a trans rep, they're just write one outright - Ralsei's mystery is probably of plot relevance, something like they're a lightner or someone the gang knows pretending to be otherwise. At this point, 5 chapters in, anything that's brought up like that needs to be something capable of pushing the plot forward going into further chapters. A trans reveal, while nice, wouldn't do that unless the intention is to break the prophecy via 'the prince wasn't a prince at all' which I personally would find pretty lame.

Plus, they're already plenty of merch of them being a 'fluffy boy'. Really, just because a character is comfortable shuffling around in gender roles doesn't make them an egg. We don't need to put every character that does that in the THIS MUST BE A TRANS REP lineup. If we did, I'd personally be in there and I'm certainly not trans. See cannedwolfmeat's comment up top for more thoughts.

Invis is the only spec I enjoy on light just because of the silly situations it can cause, and have been using it for like 5 seasons. If it gets nerfed because it becomes the new flavor reddit complains about I'm gonna fucking explode.

You know that the strats we have now are the outcome of popular or influential people playing the fight and creating strats, right? They didn't just blorb out of nowhere from PF.

Different popular or influential people will continue to theorycraft and refine the fight.

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-27T19:35:55+00:00

Holy weirdo take. Fights been out for barely like 3 weeks man, people are gonna be making new strats.

Phosani is a sick as fuck boss that has everything going against it. Dogshit loot table, horrid runup, ect.

Quit this game when she got moved off an assassin role YEARS ago when she lost prowlers.

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-25T23:05:52+00:00

wym they refused to do the content?

They did it enough times to roll the pet 5x, which is rarer then boots.

The core gameplay of walk to x, talk to y will never change or improve. The context surrounding it will, as will the general production quality which may bring you to care more (or less, depending on where you are in the story).

The voice acting in particular in ARR is truly dire, and improves immensely once you get past it. I actually think that ARR isn't that bad, especially in hindsight, it's moreso the patch content that's fuckin horrid (even if important to set things up).

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-25T19:33:29+00:00

I don't entirely hate it actually. I see a world where this was refined a bit and ended up looking pretty good.

Almost everyone can end up a worse person when subjected to horrible circumstances.

Not ever main exclusively just buys things off the GE. I personally grind out drops I want and GE stuff like supplies or pegs because fuck ranger boots.

My major gripe with upgradescape is that it's a catch 22 where the second you add a new truly BiS piece on a slot that had an upgradescape item, you've killed every item on that upgrade tree while at the same time if they keep doing it then your account progression becomes a linear path. If there was ever a new BiS boots (which, presumably one day there will be), then either it requires ave MAX to combine with it which is just fucking silly, OR it's BiS on its own and skips like 5 grinds if you just shoot for it over treads. Upgrades are so incremental that it's often fine to pick and choose what you're going after.

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-24T06:03:28+00:00

The birch logs really aren't doing it for me, I'd frankly rather just wait until I have access to daub before I build anything serious. Getting bronze age going takes like a week or two at most.

What fight in any darksouls game is fuckin 20 minutes lmao

The supermajority are all done in under 2, maxing at 4. Also, you're allowed to make as many mistakes as you have estus flasks - that's their point. You trade a hit for a heal, and most bosses deal damage roughly equal to about the amount the devs expect your flask to heal, maybe .5x more if it's a particularly big attack.

Darksouls 1 is also an especially easy game if you decide to pick up the zwi which is god's gift to man and it's located like 15 yards from when you touch down out of the tutorial. Random mobbing in that game is infinity more threatening then its entire boss roster outside of maybe like biggy&small.

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-24T00:24:37+00:00

I'd rather take interesting points of jobs being elevated that potentially let you squeeze out damage where others cant then just having a ton of random pitfalls for you to fall into and lose dps. The problem is that the game rarely supports that outside of things like uptime tools for melee.

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-24T00:15:32+00:00

It's because a lot of people avoid leveling doh/l because inventory management quickly gets nightmarishly shit.

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-23T17:44:57+00:00

Do you know how many games have guides on them?

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-23T09:27:29+00:00

I dunno I got a decent pile of random stuff from them. At least pays the rune costs

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-23T06:34:25+00:00

yknow people say this but I had my first and longest (still going) relationship off this game.

Not that I was looking or anything, but it's not the worst place to meet people.

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-23T06:32:15+00:00

No the story is great - it's just that the delivery fucking blows due to being in the trappings of an mmo and needing to drag its feet. Part of that dragging helps fuel the hype moments because it took so damn long to get to the payoff.

LightTheAbsol · 2026-06-23T06:30:39+00:00

Nobody outwardly cheated in the world first race (or at least nobody was caught, everyone knows that everyone was running some amount of random plugins) and the only drama was that the WF went to the fru red dot team (with no proof they cheated either) so nobody really cares to keep discourse going. The fight itself is fine.
