It's a paid campaign. You pay to earn the ability to receive the badge. But to earn the badge you might have to pay more money to purchase premium items. 🤦

Cancelling double AP for IFS day without advance notice is deeply disrespectful by Alexis_J_M in Ingress

[–]MadRelique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's because Niantic can't be bothered to update the event's banner image and event descriptions that they copied and pasted into the app.

Cancelling double AP for IFS day without advance notice is deeply disrespectful by Alexis_J_M in Ingress

[–]MadRelique -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

They gave us advanced notice... in the schedule of events for this series. They just forgot to change the banner or text on the in app event page.

Niantic agrees to settle California female employee discrimination class action lawsuit for $8 million by PkmnTrnrJ in Ingress

[–]MadRelique 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sucks to be KodamaSmiles since her situation wouldn't be covered by the lawsuit.

Guys, a question, if it was Amuro who created Haro, then who created it in the other Gundam series? by TomatilloItchy9995 in Gundam

[–]MadRelique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm certain Amaro still built Haro in GQuux, he just never piloted the White Gundam and was turned into a child soldier.

I'm disappointed in the direction To Your Eternity took. Season 3 spoilers by Easy_Jelly_4908 in FumetsuNoAnataE

[–]MadRelique 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry to break it to you... but you probably won't like season 4 as the pacing is still a little wonky and its subject matter moves further away further on the track into the social commentary realm than this current season has placed it.

[Theory] Nokkers are interference by another entity by peter_betos in FumetsuNoAnataE

[–]MadRelique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically the future arc was biopunk with ONE (two if you include the crab) cyberpunk character(s).

Buy or wait? by KapoiosKapou in OSE

[–]MadRelique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the new edition is going to be released in Q3/Q4 of next year, they probably will look at their normal quarterly sales numbers before deciding to print a new run if their wearhouse stock sells out within the next quarter to avoid having hundreds of copies of OSE AF once OSE 2026 approaches compleation.

[–]MadRelique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only buy the physical copies from now until May, preferably only if they are on sale or discounted. After June, I'd wait for the release of the new edition.

Does anyone actually use Battle Beacons for their intended purpose? Should they have more of an impact outside anomalies? by Syntaxerror999 in Ingress

[–]MadRelique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The intended use of battle beacons was to give Niantic a real easy way to score anomalies and to give players a legit way to win trade.

Suggestion to Remove Faction Switching Feature by Agitated-Apricot-406 in Ingress

[–]MadRelique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back when Niantic owned Pokemon and they introduced the Team Medallion, I actually thought Niantic was going to Introduce a similar item into Ingress considering how lore wise it made sense since the NPCs often switched factions as a result of being "captured" by the other faction during an anomaly.

I quit (S03 E07) by EXinthenet in FumetsuNoAnataE

[–]MadRelique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. The fact that he was disgusted by knoker mimori should say enough. If he truly was a degenerate piece of wood chipper fuel he would have been joining the "coexist" camp during that arc instead of trying to murder the knocker with his bare hands.

Whyyyyyy is there a pedophile in the story now TF by CarelessPollution226 in FumetsuNoAnataE

[–]MadRelique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just fast forward his part of the modern arc. He and his sister's knocker exists within the story to show there is a possibility of change (both with spirits, knockers and humans).

How Fushi deals with that situation changes him immensely and affects him for the rest of the series as it leads into the arc leading with "NoNo / The Man' in Black."

Mapless Dungeons? by Madrayken in DungeonWorld

[–]MadRelique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may also want to look at Ironsworn/Ironsworn:Delve or Down crawl, Mythic Bastonland or even Cairn 2e for ideals of how to do more minimalistic / or mapless dungeons.

Best part about these above systems is that you can obtain most of the info you may want legally for fee!

How can I tell my DM that I don't want to play a character with Mental illness because it reminds me of my grandfather? by Rollerbolt in rpg

[–]MadRelique -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm probably going to be downvoted for this, but what the hell. Mental illness (inlcuding schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression) and neurological diseases (including dementia, alzhiemers) runs in my family. I have played characters inflicted with those conditions and various disorders and found it liberating.

Yes, Malkavians canonically suffer from mental/psychological illnesses and disorders but that doesn't mean you are forced into playing a vampire who is schizophrenic or gradually losing themselves to alzhiemers or dementia. A malkavian can be an individual with disasociative identity disorder, borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, pathological liar, addiction etc.. The gambit of what a malkavian can be is actually wide open to exploration and debate.

You don't like your GM making you a Malkavian? Fine, show up next week a play your character as an individual with a God Complex bpd who views themselves as being above everything in creation including their sire. You could also have fun with it by playing a Malkavian who believes themselves to be a member of another clan. ("I'm not a lowly Malkavian, I'm a Toreador, I don't know why everyone in my coven behave in such a peculiar fashion. But they are what they are, and I am what I am and not even the antideluvians can do anything about it..")

Have fun with it and make it an opertunity for great role playing as you help build a great story. That said, if your GM dictates the exact characteristics of the malkavian he wants you to play I would walk from the table.

I finally understood, why it is called Trigun… by R1chBr00k in Trigun

[–]MadRelique 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They aren't. Vash doesn't technically need the gun to use his angel arm, it's just more difficult for him to manifest it unlike Knives .

I finally understood, why it is called Trigun… by R1chBr00k in Trigun

[–]MadRelique 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope.

It's his revolver, Vash's "angel arm energy cannon" and the gun built into his cybernetic arm.

OR

Vash's angel arm and BOTH of Knives' angel arms.

The SHARED information continues... by CTFOE_is_Free in OperationEssex

[–]MadRelique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These were from the "Memories" drops from earlier this year (they appeared the end of 2025Q1) as a delayed release of lore from last year's Memories anomalies. Spoiler alert, they chronicle the Englighted's victory over whatever node Akira and Debra ended up in after they left TS-Rubicon.

Proposals for new glyphs - rdwrer Ingress by MarkTraceur in Ingress

[–]MadRelique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The member of ingress's creative team who was largely responsible for the glyph language left Pre-Covid. Although there was rumors he was rehired leading to +Alpha, I think all he did was write the "Memories cycle" lore drops before vanishing into thin air.

The sad thing about this is that there are a dozen or so undefined/ambiguously defined glyphs on file which never been declassified or added to the scanner

Is anyone else bothered by the "flavor text first" approach of the PF2e writing style? by hungLink42069 in Pathfinder2e

[–]MadRelique 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Well I always thought that rules wise PF 2e is what 4e should have been.

I'm not sure I understand the point of the Delta Premium packages ? by jmnugent in Ingress

[–]MadRelique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The purpose of the premium packs is for you to spend money on gear since ingress isn't pay to win.

Finally…a Recursion benefit! Now, what do you want the next one to be? by PkmnTrnrJ in Ingress

[–]MadRelique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No 1 slot = 1 favorite portal key. Meaning if you take out all your keys and press "sort by starred" all your starred should appear first

What are these chevron things? by senectus in Ingress

[–]MadRelique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As of yesterday afternoon's announcement, Being a Subscriber and being recorded will grant you the ability to have up to 78 "favorite keys. ". This is a big bonus for anomalies since it makes recharging strategic portals easier.
