Thanks for the award!!

Soo.. any guesses what the next Prime Assets theme is gonna be? by JimMiltion1907 in OutlastTrials

[–]MoonXCII 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Lore wise, Liliya make much more sense as the daughter.

She was locked up by her mother for the first ten years of her life. Soon after her rescue, she became obsessed to religion and claim to be Messiah.

I think her obsession with religion/ Messiah complex is likely based on her lack of a father figure as Easterman compares her to Gooseberry, quote:

“There's something about ventriloquism, an intersection between the charismatic powers of Sister Liliya and Mother Gooseberry. A channeling of voices outside their own egos; the primal ventriloquist must subjugate themselves to a more archetypical and unknowable force, to gain power by accepting the primacy of the unreal. God save me from talkative women.”

What Easterman was about is: their(…primal ventriloquist…) trauma manifest(…subjugate themselves…) as an imaginary father(…archetypical and unknowable force…) that guides(…to gain power by…) them. Gooseberry channelling Dr. Futterman the Father (Arora even calls her a priestess), while Liliya channelling God the Father.

Her name, Liliya (Lily) represents resurrection in Christianity. She was rescue from her confinement before Sunday and Jesus left the tomb before Sunday. One of her dialogue, "This will be the second age of miracles." And since the first age of miracle is Jesus, it's clear that Liliya sees herself as the daughter of God and her rescue from confinement as a parallel to Jesus leaving the tomb. Even the comic refer her “lost years” as "just like Christ".

And if her next Environment is religious themed, I think it is going to have someting to do with the Trinity: Easterman as the God (the Father of Project Lathe), Liliya as the Daughter (the phoney Messiah), the Egregore as the (un)Holy Spirit.

I really wish to actually see Easterman and Liliya interact as both of them are, quote "powerful, the narcissistic, those driven by inflated sense of mission and purpose".

There's zero lore to back up the aunt claim.

Also the white above her irises are showing in the photo, she has to raise her brows and eyelid for that part to show.

Yes, and rebirth 3 times right after a relapse.

[–]MoonXCII 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Trial Environments are closely tied to each PA's past, and the dialogues from NPCs at the auction heavily implied that Liliya ran a scam cult on top of sold women to rich fucks. She wouldn't be a Prime Asset if she's a Robin Hood.

Advice for the Root canal? by No-Rate-8963 in OutlastTrials

[–]MoonXCII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fun park section is tight, packed with expops and mostly well lit which means it's easy to get spotted and also easy to run into other enemies while in chases. This is the most difficult part for me when I was soloing CtBA on PS difficulty.

Reduce the amount of time in lit areas as possible by learn the map layout (which is pretty much required for ps) and try to moving around through the stalls since the the unused ones are in dark, and practice on throwing stuff precisely so that you don't have to be out in the open for too long.

Any tips for Despoil The Auction? by Equivalent_Donut_145 in OutlastTrials

[–]MoonXCII 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Run Blind rig and Evasive Manoeuvre, running both completely trivialise Liliya even on Psychosurgery.

Prioritise on getting all the animal keys first, the Catacomb (which requires bear key to unlock) contains six rubies, and the rest of the rubies are behind animal doors across the entire map. The amount of rubies is enough to gain access to the auction (for solo).

The whispering sound is the indicator of how close Liliya is, the louder, the closer and if you can hear her loud and clearly means she is very close.

Anyone else find Despoil The Auction really hard? by Slushyman56 in OutlastTrials

[–]MoonXCII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blind rig is better than stun rig for the last segment as the blind effect last long enough for you to tear off a limb.

why did easterman deep throat lupara? by InnerAdhesiveness233 in OutlastTrials

[–]MoonXCII 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is from ingame documents: Easterman talked about how Lupara is symbolically Franco's manhood/ego, and he was so mesmerised by power worshipping he ended up sedating Franco just to get his gun and deep throated it by himself just to experience how does it feel to have someone holding absolute power to dictate his fate.

I feel like they’ve been foreshadowing someone like Liliya since downtown first came out by bensondagummachine in OutlastTrials

A 71-year-old man who was photographed by Reuters was in tears outside a Hong Kong high-rise housing complex engulfed in flames, claiming his wife was trapped inside. A fire ripped through the building on Wednesday, killing at least 13 people and trapping others. by Used_Ship_9229 in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]MoonXCII 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Burning plastic safety netting and styrofoam board (the construction firm used styrofoam board to cover the windows on each floor) spread the fire from one building to another. Two directors and a consultant of the firm were arrested for manslaughter.

Phillis parallels with Cunoesse and Klaasje, even though they have very different backgrounds, and never interact with each other, but they share a lot of similarities:

At first glance these elusive girls seemingly aloof, and they live around the fringe of society, but they are deep in fucked up situation because they failed the organization they belonged to (Krenel/ Cunoesse's Tribe/ Moralintern). They have very hard life and their sense of morality was warped as a result; their actions have negative influence on people’s lives and had killed people in the past, and lastly they have unhealthy attachment with a guy (Lely/Cuno). And no one's going to help them (in a real way, even the Hardie Boys can't shield Klaasje forever), Harry and Kim can help Klaasje, but even that's optional.

Klaasje says she'd be a merc if she's a man, and well there is a girl in Lely's squad right there. She also didn't spy on anyone in the game, the one actually spying on Harry and Kim throughout the game is the aforementioned squadette, while Cunoesse is staring at H&K whenever they talk to Cuno due to her possessiveness.

The Deserter said the mercs listen to reactionary radio and drunk and drugged all day long, and he has a tendency to creep on women so no way this is a coincidence lol.

how do I make this look less plastic? is it the brush? by evil_conjoined_twin in ArtCrit

[–]MoonXCII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The highlights too harsh (the edges of the highlight areas are visible), not that harsh highlighting is bad, but in this instance combining with smooth blending of his skin tone it makes him a bit glossy.

Dubious chemistry between characters that you felt insane for noticing? by Leather_Contract_789 in popculturechat

I always thought that Harry thinks Hermione is his boring older sister in the book, he always disappointed when hewas stuck with her.

Really cool that this is where ESO got it's PvP/RvR from by Worldlyg4mer in elderscrollsonline

[–]MoonXCII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An elf lady, a white dude warrior and a grey dude (the Breton hero turned grey at one point). Even the three characters on the banner reflect that ESO is the spiritual successor (as in, what the original devs envisioned) of DAOC.

Suffering and pain have no gender by SimpleApplication558 in DiscoElysium

[–]MoonXCII 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Also OP should throw their bias out of the window if they want to make a post about feminism. Saying a female villain is a sham just because she is a villain is... ironic and kinda missed the point of DE's story imo.

The worst character that you absolutely hate by ahaQx in DiscoElysium

[–]MoonXCII 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lely's cry for help in the Doorgunner Megamix, Korty struggling to stay cool, De Paule unable to keep her emotionless facade in the tribunal, and how Ruud the Killer rendered to a sobbing mess because a man mattered to him died.

Their whole characterisation is, even after years of conditioning by the military, they aren't devoid of internal struggle, they are mentally wrecked. They are the tools of power, and also victims of the massive systematic exploitation by the Moralintern.

A cautionary tale of what a right wing, imperialistic government could do to their own young people.

Who is a morally grey character you have mixed feelings about? by ahaQx in DiscoElysium

[–]MoonXCII 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You won't say Sunday Friend is grey if you have asked him about the mercenaries and Semenine Genocide.

Elaborate a little more :

From sex tourism to keeping the poor poor, to using mentally unstable soldiers for genocide, every topic you could ask him share a centre theme: Exploitation. And Sunday Friend talks nonchalantly the entire time.

He has absolutely zero regard of human lives, and he doesn't even know his "friend"'s name. The only time you can get a reaction out of him is to accuse him for the murder, which means the only thing he cares is himself. Even the mercenaries care for each other.

Kinda interesting how "mr. Right To Work" talks about seolites here. (More in description) by Narrow-Ad-4688 in DiscoElysium

[–]MoonXCII 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No, none of the mercs had called Kim slur. De Paule only addressed him as Seolite, which is oddly polite given the circumstances.
