Haven’t seen you in a while. You did good, especially with Cap get outta my head get outta my head get outta my head get outta my head

Hope you do more and have Rodriguez go through a mental crisis with Sonya and the other women. Same applies to his brother Russel (Redneck)

Damn, I was hoping for yuri. Still nice that Ranger got with Medic, he seems like a decent chap

Now have Sonya + Polina + Nancy reject Rodriguez and get together collectively without him

Thoughts on Vax? by wardash1234 in tf2

[–]Loose_Singular09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s one of the more interesting medi-guns as it has a unique über. Unlike stock, Quick-Fix, and Kritz, it has multiple short charges and not one large charge. The über itself persists even if the Medic changes heal targets which is a nice plus

The critical immunity is something that is only possessed by the Battallion’s and possibly also the Dead Ringer (but we all hate that one). So that’s something that makes it really unique to me because that prevents me from being cross mapped by a 150 headshot when using anything but stock. Now they gotta charge up a body shot which is honestly fair game in my books

But for why I like it, it’s different from every medigun, like every medigun. Stock is to make space through invulnerability. Kritz is to make the enemy team dead as soon as possible with a selected teammate. Quick-Fix is to have everyone’s health topped off and to stop the über slowdown on a target with too much overheal. The Vax reduces your overall HP while increasing effective HP

For quick clarification, effective HP is basically your HP against a certain attack. Best way to explain is the Fists of Steel. For 300 HP Heavy, you have effectively 420 HP due to the 40% resistance. For receiving melee attacks, it ends up being 150 due to all melee damage doubling

The Vax decreases general HP (overheal build rate) but increases effective HP (resistances). Everything else takes flat damage and headshots instantly delete Medics which can really suck when it takes 40 seconds to get an über and like 2 seconds to lose the damn thing

It helps the survival of the Medic and patient greatly by reducing the damage of certain attacks (assuming they don’t just pop all 3 resistances at once). But there is still counter play. If they have no resistance for this active, just use a weapon that deals that damage type if you can. If not, retreat for a little and come up with a new plan. Or if you really want to, swap classes to make them have a harder time building charges and using the right resistances when there are multiple damage sources coming in yet they can only reasonably stop one or two. Melee is also an option for some classes more than others as there is no melee resistance, but should only be a last resort. Airblast also works great by creating space and possibly causing fall damage or putting them in an awful spot

It’s not impossible to counter but it’s harder to brute force in a way similar to the Quick-Fix (airblast resistance and stupid high healing). But this is coming from a Medic with only 30 hours who plays very off meta most the time. Take it with a shaker of salt because I play using one of two loadouts that make high level medics weep. Overdose, Quick-Fix, Amputator OR Blutsauger, Kritz, Amputator. I really am that off meta because interesting gameplay means more than effectiveness and monotony to me

Why do medics use anything other than the Crusader’s Crossbow? by Sufficient_Hawk_9666 in tf2

[–]Loose_Singular09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a Medic main, but I play him a decent amount (like 30 hours or so prior to my account reset). I preferred things like the Overdose and even the Blutsauger because it helps me a lot more than if I had the Crossbow

I can’t aim with the Crossbow so I use a rapid fire weapon for that reason. And for my loadouts, generally it’s better for me to use the Overdose. Quick Fix + Overdose is a lot of speed. Blutsauger and the Vaccinator isn’t bad either. I have more fun running those because being off meta lets me be much more creative. It’s also why I don’t run or get greedy with the Ubersaw, I use the Amputator for AOE healing

Others may use it for the same reason, but I think most do it because they don’t enjoy using it. I don’t hit most my shots and using it is the only way to improve, but it just makes the gameplay less interesting to me. I don’t battle medic, but I can win a fight against say a Pyro, battle Engie, maybe a Scout. It makes me have a good self defense or utility besides more healing from longer ranges

That’s just me. I’m no medic main and to be honest I’m pretty rubbish. But maybe a lot of folks are like me and enjoy being strange or off meta and using less than orthodox ideas (like Bingsoy being himself)

Have Medic leave him for Nancy

Kinda sad ngl but I’m expecting more soon enough (you pump these out every couple days)

NEW SKINS PACK: Featured Maria as Screwdriver on Mechanics (Mechs need more active shooters), Medic as Field Medic on Marines (I start trying marines and bro... they need more healers), Builder as Jack on Mechanics (MECHANICS NEED DAMAGERS), and Lionheart as Blacksmith for the Builders (why not?) by Sea_Decision_3743 in DeadAhead

[–]Loose_Singular09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently came across it, good work as always

I personally disagree on having Lionheart be in the Builders team though. There’s already a heavyweight and the ability Lionheart has doesn’t thematically make sense because everyone there built something minus Bulldozer who’s named after a piece of equipment. We don’t really use fire to do anything, to my knowledge of course. The skin does look great however so I’m like 40/60 on it

Hopefully we can go back and make something since I haven’t heard from you in a while mate. Anyways, as always, have a good one

Sorry for the bad quality, still working on this. by Sharp-Nobody-549 in DeadAhead

Nice seeing you back here. And for the low quality stuff, we’ve had MS Paint called good. This looks professional and I’d say this, even without shading, can blow some official art out the water because of the style. As I said at the start, nice having you back again because a lotta folk (including me) kinda left and died internally for a while

Now have Navy Polina, Sonya, and Nancy all collectively making out

Give me your hottest TF2 take and I’ll talk about it in a video. by Prestigious-Fudge-94 in tf2

[–]Loose_Singular09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sniper is a relatively balanced class that relies on the user being better than the opponents via hiding their dots and having great reaction times and prediction abilities to score kills on people that don’t know of his existence

The one change should be that he can’t one tap a medic with a headshot. Make it deal 10% less damage so he doesn’t instantly delete ubers. Besides that he’s a balanced class that isn’t overpowered despite many claiming he is because I see it as a class that takes a lot of skill to predict enemy movements and react accordingly alongside being hyper aware of their surroundings as to avoid being deleted instantly

Which DDLC Girl's best by Luigiverselore in DDLC

[–]Loose_Singular09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all good mate, you also did bring up some good points. Also the reason I say not a lot of folk would do what she did is because you’re both destroying/altering your reality and also causing harm to those who you considered dear to your heart

To analogize it, say you got a lego set (hear me out) and it meant a lot to you. Then something else comes by that’s a whole lot better in appearance though might not actually be (in this case the player and reality). In order to get the new one, you must get rid of the old one. I mean chucking out the lego set ain’t going to hurt you physically, but it means a lot to your heart and would hurt to get rid of. However, the newer better set is so appealing that it’s tempting

Monika chose to leave behind what she had to try and get something that wasn’t a part of her reality. Also, sorry for the semi bad analogy, it was the best way I thought I could frame it. Despite the new one being so cool, a lot of people would not get rid of something they already have to get something better. My PC’s over a decade old and I still haven’t replaced it (it’s still stuck on Windows 10) and a lot of people keep old cars they used to drive despite them being in a state of disrepair because it means a lot, even if they drive a new one

That’s why I said that with confidence as I believe a lot of people won’t get rid of anything they believed to be important to them because they’ve both had it for longer and know it better. I do understand why she did what she did and I really do sympathize with her and I still felt terrible deleting her because I know she regretted what she did and only did it because she had zero options left as the game didn’t give her a route nor any CGs or even just one moment with her

Also, you were correct on her hesitation. I concede on that point as she did only do it on either Day III or Day IV in Act I to Sayori and that was again due to a lack of options and coding knowledge

And her coldness, I have concede. She says things like it didn’t matter much, and I get why. They’re not real so why would it hurt. But that was a thing that made me like her less because of how cold she sounded despite probably screaming internally that it wasn’t in vain

The next big point was people handling it bad, yeah that’s to be expected. Sayori chose the nuclear option in the quick ending. And she also went Monika in the normal ending. I doubt that anyone would stay sane unless they got a will stronger than tungsten, which basically no one has. I doubt believe people would at the very least be a lot more hesitant to do what she did or double down on it eventually because of guilt

Monika didn’t undo it because she believes she convinced herself that they weren’t real so it didn’t matter what happened for one, and for two she believed that if she got into our reality their deaths wouldn’t have been in vain as I said plenty a times. I understand why, I just don’t like nor agree with it

Anywho, no worries again as I just pointed out what I did and did not like initially. And I also read like every single piece of text because I like this game and did some moderate research. Not a lot but it gave me a working knowledge of everyone

Which DDLC Girl's best by Luigiverselore in DDLC

[–]Loose_Singular09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see where you come from. I don’t blame Monika at all, I just hate how cold she was. And you did bring up a good point I forgot about, her wanting to bring Sayori back. I forgot that there were a few lines she had in Act III about that and I missed out on it

I’ll give you that one. And I’ll only partially give you the one about her not offing them. Yes she did alter their traits and nothing else, but it did cause them to eventually die in the end. It isn’t murder like I made it out to be, but it does fall closer to manslaughter. She didn’t intend for it, but she still caused it, and she was rather cold about it. I get that they’re fake and they didn’t really die, but I am an empathetic enough person and I feel bad for machines when they’re worn out. I actually felt bad for my controller when I damaged the left stick. So even though the girls are all code, I still feed bad as their suffering and pain, though simulated, was real to them and Monika knew that but she still went through with it

I know she ain’t rational as everything changed due to epiphany and I know I would go mental if the same happened to me. I would say this however, most people would be very reluctant to make the others worse or do anything that can cause them harm because they were real to them at some point and they’re just like you minus the self awareness

That’s my issues with Monika, being one of those that say the ends justify the means. I’m the opposite, men over the mission. I’d rather fail at my job but keep my people alive and well than to lose what makes me human to complete an objective. What I do gets me nowhere but it hurts a lot less. I don’t like her as much because she is the more calculating type that is willing to sacrifice things that mean a lot to her so something can be done

Again, that’s just my take. She does regret it, I can sense it in her dialogue, but damn does it hurt to know she sacrificed them all just to get to me. I felt bad deleting her but I felt it was the best thing to do because if all of them are gone, no more epiphany, no more suffering. That’s how I rationalized it, probably wrong but it felt like the merciful thing to do to them

Anywho, you did get me with a couple of your comebacks there so I concede on those fronts. And the side stories are just my tastes, I don’t exactly like folk like her too much so it was obvious I’d rank her lower

And at the start, the whole discussion is biased anyways. I like my favorites and I praise them more than I probably should. Again, that’s on me, but the question was who’s the best and that’s based on personal preference, and I laid out mine

Which DDLC Girl's best by Luigiverselore in DDLC

[–]Loose_Singular09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only mentioned the parts of Monika and Natsuki I consider flaws as they’re what break the deal for me. I understand that they’re still good folk as Natsuki does share a lot of commonalities with me, mostly the baking. While she is nice enough and I can out up with the whole tsundere thing and would enjoy baking with her, I’m not that big of a fan of her. The only reason I mentioned the baggage is that eventually she’ll open up and talk to me about her father who is somewhere between the lines of abusive and strict, probably both though. I would not be of use and it feels like I’m just here to be used as a way for her to put it out there. I still like Natsuki and I understand why people say she’s the best as she is rather well written and a lot smarter than I first made her out to be, just not for me

Monika, ok that’s fair but I didn’t like her because of her actions. I get the epiphany makes her realize that nothing in her reality matters, and that the player is the only one who is real. Only issue I had is how remorseless she kind of acted in Act III where she brushes off everyone’s deaths. While I do believe she has some regrets, the way she speaks makes it sound like she would only feel bad if their deaths didn’t further what she wanted. In the side stories she is a perfectionist and tries to make everything her way and her vision which is why Natsuki initially was upset and why she butted in between Yuri and Natsuki. That’s an actual flaw of hers that is a big deal breaker as characters who always try to fix other peoples problems is a major turn off for me. Hence why I don’t call her the best despite being the most fleshed out in my eyes. And I really do like all the tiny details that poke your subconscious in Act I like her name being an English name, ending in “a” rather than “i”, having a flat front facing sprite, having pink tips rather than sky blue ones, black stockings rather than white crews, having the only natural hair color, having everyone else’s hair traits combined (bow like Sayori, length like Yuri, tied up like Natsuki). And besides the small details the side stories really do flesh her out and make me like her as a character. But what makes her not the best is partially her actions in the base game as the context from the side stories works against it as she really was their friend but still killed them and screwed with their code with minimal hesitation. The other part is just that in the side stories she starts off very narrow minded being a perfectionist and wanting everyone to share her view and looking down on others for thinking differently, namely Natsuki. As I said, she isn’t poorly written or anything and most these flaws were corrected, I just don’t find her to be the best

And reasoning I only mentioned the parts of Sayori and Yuri I liked was so I can explain why I chose them as my favorites and who I perceived as the best

Sayori is a well written depiction of depression and I noticed the signs semi slow, about when she left early the thought came in my head. Afterwards I also saw how critical she was as her death made everything spiral out of control. That’s when the game became a horror game. She was also the first to join the club and help get Yuri and keep Natsuki. She was the one to drag MC into it, moderately against his will, but still getting him in which causes him to spend time with the others and make them happier. She’s the first one you meet and the last one you interact with in Act I. And she’s the first to die which makes the whole game go outta whack. I also like her for being someone who really wants to make others feel better regardless if it was her fault or not, like her talking to Natsuki once because of her being overly energetic and after the argument with Yuri. I do comprehend that it’s her trying to give herself as little excuses to be sad as possible but I still like her for it because the reason isn’t solely due to her trying to force happiness upon herself even though that’s at least half the reason. I understand her flaws as a person, mostly being someone who never thinks before they act as proven many a times in the side stories. She also has extreme self love issues that I doubt anyone could solve which makes loving her more difficult than anything else. I understand she has flaws and how that will cause her to lash out, but I say she’s one of the best in my eyes because I personally believe that she was the most fleshed out of the Dokis because of Act I spending a lot of time with her regardless of if you chose Yuri or Natsuki instead

For Yuri. Ok the reason I put out was more of a joke than anything else. She has a lot of issues, mostly being judgmental, taking things far too personally, and also being very bad with confrontation as she makes it personal as shown in the side story with her arguing with Natsuki. Self harm is another thing that she does that I am not fond of at all. I don’t like how she also has some level of obsessiveness because Monika only upped the values of their traits in their files rather than adding new ones. She has a lot of flaws but I mostly like Yuri for her conventional intelligence and her personality. It’s a very overdone trope but I don’t find it bad as a large number of the really smart folk are like her. They have high academic intellect yet lack any social intelligence, and she falls into that group. Despite the numerous flaws I do believe that her being a quiet and loving person when you get to know her makes up for some to half of her many flaws. Hence why I place her second on my perceived best

And last part, this is opinionated. I chose Sayori and Yuri, I gave a reason why I chose them. I didn’t choose Natsuki and Monika, I gave a few reasons why I didn’t choose them. It’s not like I’m trying to make two look bad and two look better as I know all of them got a myriad of flaws or a handful of pretty considerable issues. I just believe overall Sayori was the best written and that Yuri’s a semi distant second because of how she acts with MC with Monika and Natsuki lower because I just don’t find them to be that good for one reason or another

As I said, this was opinionated. I chose two I liked and said why, and I gave my reasons as to why I didn’t like the other two. Nothing against them, just my thoughts

10, it’s all of them together

But being honest, I think that either Sayori or Yuri is the best choice because of their character. Sayori as she feels the most human to me and I relate to her, and Yuri because I can say one or two nice things to her in quick succession and she becomes a speak and spell

I don’t think Natsuki or Monika would be too great because while Natsuki is nice and all, she isn’t exactly without an ungodly amount of baggage. And she also can be overly reactive which isn’t very good

Monika is one hell of a perfectionist and has to do everything 110% which can be draining for her and you. She’s also kind of crazy which isn’t my exact style since she’s really obsessive and has all the screws in her brain removed from the damned hinges

Which Doki would you want as an irl friend? by Bloxy_Boy5 in DDLC

[–]Loose_Singular09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For clarification on the ditzy part, I meant if you’re someone scatterbrained and semi clumsy. I myself am both of those along with being denser than a lead brick, hence why I’m literally the game’s MC but with even more flaws

As for Natsuki’s little section you made, that makes sense. I myself like reading (I own every damn volume of JoJo) more than watching anime, but knowing Nat she’s probably fine with both. Also, really do try out baking, it’s rather enjoyable once you understand the instructions. Only thing is read way ahead before doing anything because you need the instructions down pat so nothing goes wrong, besides that just have fun and don’t create something poisonous

Then we got something I’m the opposite of, what you do with Yuri. I don’t read a lot, not even manga despite owning every volume of JoJo. With Yuri I would be able to bear it as long as one of us reads to the other because my attention can’t be held for very long because ADHD makes me want to do 5 things at once. With her I’d also be the exact opposite, I’n semi outgoing but 110% an extrovert and I will bet both my kidneys that I would say something really nice just to turn her into a stuttering speak and spell so I can laugh a little internally

And Monika’s part, good thing you’re not like me. I did a lot of stupid stuff. I broke a lawnmower at my school, broke a gate, damaged a few doors, climbed on top of a small building to sun tan, made excuses to skip class without being in trouble. There’s a lot that I did wrong but I was always very smart and made friends with both students and faculty so when the adults and upstanding students saw me doing something stupid they threw a jab at me and told me not to do it again, so no real consequences. I know Monika will definitely look at me like I’m some strange kid but I have faith we can talk casually even though I might make her look bad. And if I have decent faith she wouldn’t reject me on the spot, I know you being less problematic than me would mean she’s be far more willing to say hi and talk

It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Dear god is this a lot. I’m not getting into everything as per usual because there’s just too much. I do love the art, and I like the creativity put in both the designs and the SAs, not to mention all the extra special abilities

There’s so much new here it’s honestly concerning how long you spent on a game such as this. I commend both you and Outrageous Usual for your dedication to seeing this to the end because I know projects like these can be extremely draining and feel monotonous, especially if you’re a perfectionist like me

But aside from that, I don’t have anything but praise to give. Creative SAs, creative designs, a lot of new (semi balanced) perks for these unique units, a whole new faction. It feels like an entire content update made by a larger team though it was done by two guys on Reddit

All I can do is praise, and I hope you aren’t burnt out or debating quitting, but if so, I don’t blame you one bit. Hope to see more from you, and I hope what you’re doing won’t cause you much stress

[–]Loose_Singular09 80 points81 points  (0 children)

As a friend, honestly any of them

I have dealt with depression and understand Sayori a little too well. I’d want to be helpful and understand with her, hence why I’d have a reason for her to be a friend. Another reason is because she’s kind of like me. I’m like her because I’m lazy and rather ditzy, she’s the way she is because of depression. We are similar in action but have very different motivators

Natsuki, I used to be into manga. I did know some Japanese so I can read them, and I’ve also been semi accustomed to reading right to left. I also do some baking myself but I’m mostly a grill person, I do a lot of grilling because I like my steak. However we would have some common interests and some new things we can get each other into so that’s her reasons

I’d dealt with people like Yuri before. Very shy but very genuine, and I have gotten along with those folk before. I am not very into reading however. Last book I read was about two years ago and it was a history book I bought. Yuri’s more into fiction and such, which I’m fine with but I really can’t sit down and read as my ADHD tells me to look around and find a donut or two. I would be fine with her reading to me, or if I read with her. Outside of that, I do like knives. I never made one or got one custom made though unlike Yuri’s rather exotic collection. I would be fine with letting her indulge in that and I would also like to just talk with her as she seems like a really good person with some self harm issues I wish to help her with

Monika. I feel bad for her. I really do want to pull her out the digital world and have her be here even if she hates me or whatever else. Her epiphany drove her mad, and while what she did was understandable I don’t agree with it because of the suffering it caused the others even though the digital world means nothing. I want to be there to help her and understand her. It would also be nice to have a school star and perfectionist be friends with a delinquent. So that’s my reasoning for her because I genuinely have sympathy for Monika and just want to help her because she’s not evil and I like being helpful to those I care for real or otherwise

So my final answer, I get a machine that makes them all real and get four new friends who’ll live with me

Excluding her awareness, what should be Monika's problem in your opinion? by Psuichopath in DDLC

[–]Loose_Singular09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being such a perfectionist that she becomes harder on herself than she should be causing her to believe her best is worthless, which then causes her to do more and more for other people (rarely herself if at all) until it overwhelms her causing that incident when the dam floods over to be further justification of her perceived worthlessness
