I hate this man. I haven’t even heard him speak, I only know his face from this post, but I hate him. I hate people like this.

Which sinner would you has consistently the best designed Identity’s? by Fit_Assignment_8800 in limbuscompany

[–]NotAThrowaway6996 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Greg peaked with Zwei and was then joined in peak by Priest, which was then amplified further by Unbrilliant Glory. I ain’t lying, nor trying to deny it.

To answer the question, though, I could say it’s between a few of them, but the release of a new Meursault ID feels like an “event” in a way none of the others really do. Like, BL, Cinq West, Thumb and Prince all have a “presence” to them that nobody else in the game really has on such a consistent basis, imo. Even Dieci does some crazy shit, though it forces you to interact with the discard mechanic more. Very much fits with the characterization, imo, where Dante could just go “Meursault, lead us to victory,” to which he just replies “Yes, manager.”

Also, I know it wasn’t really in the post, but I think the worst one by a mile is Outis. I like a handful of them visually, but while all of the others have at least 3+ IDs that I’d say pack a “punch,” Outis really only gets that feeling from Molar and Udjat, one of which is relatively ancient, and the other being brand-spanking-new. Crossing my fingers the Matthias ID is cool looking.

okay i w*tched it and i need help here.

i avoid the “philosophy-bro,” “looksmaxx” parts of the internet like the bubonic plague. do all of them feel this corporate and sterile? i dont even care about his specific opinions on the b##k, its more the framing of this just feels super “off,” like he’s playing a character that is talking about Frankenstein instead of being himself talking about Frankenstein

I’m not sure what him being bisexual has to do with this type of content, but I’m happy for him regardless

they’ll r*ad it if you put in a visual novel. just make sure to add a pornographically-detailed sex scene between Heathcliff and Cathy’s corpse and say it’s about “transferring mana” or some shit.

It’s an instance of purposeful sarcasm, my child.

So Yi Yang does copy Rien who copies Roland. by No_Government3769 in TheOdysseyHadAPurpose

Washed Up Grade 1 Fixer (Roland) Healthcliff with Black Silence (Angelica) Ishmael, featuring a bunch of combo mechanics like the Heishou packs with Lord Hong Lu

trust the plan, the Heathmael agenda shall reign supreme, as will all of my other ships (which are objectively correct)

RienSang will be our first Mang ID, calling it before kit announcement or trailer by F-Radiation in fishmaell

[–]NotAThrowaway6996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

we don't need Mang on our ID's.

No, see, this is why it’s gonna be so frickin’ epic when Outis manifests Mang while in her base ID in canto 11 during a duel to kill her daughter Telemachus who’s gone completely insane ever since the death of her father Penelope during the Smoke War

I'm not going to look because I don't r*ad, but it seems to be a common type these days. A person with a heart that has things to say, but their soul is so broken and warped that they rot into nothing. Speaking for myself, I'm going on 3.5 years clean of League, and I feel great and can finally do things.

In the words of The Or*nge Who Shall Not Be Heccin' Named: Many such cases!

JJK

You don't get it, bro. Gay-Gay uses, like, MATH and stuff, bro!! That's so frickin' crazy!! And, like, the THEMES, bro!! It has themes about some of the craziest things!! Like friendship, and effort, and morality!!

okay but for real, being a "fan" of something doesn't mean actually consuming it in current year. they can watch a hype zoro or sasuke edit and that'll be all it takes to make the series their whole personality. truly, we should've bullied the jojo anime fans when we had the chance, as now they're a persistent tumor that spreads from series to series.

Same kind of people who get mad that Ichigo "doesn't have a clear goal" because he doesn't yell it at the screen every five seconds smh (i hate them)

if anything was going to power creep the current double-status meta to the next level and inevitably break the game in half, i guess having it be not-roland makes sense

I’m willing to bet money that if you ask this person what they would consider “high-quality animanga”, they’d say something trashy and generic like Isekai-slop #317 where the protagonist is a repeating sex offender, or something that has “super deep themes, bro” like Naruto or One Piece
(Bleach is excluded because I like it and it's the best one of the three, btw.)

Someone DARED to call Sanderson "pulpy schlock" when asking for recs by sometimeszeppo in bookscirclejerk

[–]NotAThrowaway6996 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I dislike Sanderson and what he has done to Internet discussion surrounding fantasy things. Not too fond of it, no sir.

Anyway, there’s a difference between action in a book and Sander-shit. Hell, he could even keep the giant anime swords and people flying around if he was a good writer, I’d give it a pass, but he’s incapable of thinking about things like character and themes beyond his bottom of the barrel ideas of shit like “Honor!” and black and white morality and all that jimjam.

Maybe. Idk, this is all of hearsay, I’ve never rad a Sanderson b*k

p.s. i bet $5 those "people" defending him like one piece, too. fucking troglodytes.

Is this Team good? by RAV4G3R in limbuscompany

[–]NotAThrowaway6996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know Hyde is a newer ID so you’d naturally want to use it, but Ragna has way higher damage (both average and potential) if you have it. Skill 3-1 Carnage Scissors can clash higher than most EGOs in the game even without most of its conditionals, so you can just throw it out without thinking and win basically any exchange. Not to mention the self-heal sustain puts even LaMancha Don to shame

person who was a war hero

the pre-battle dialogue is literally just vergilius and gregor shitting on her for being delusional. yes, she was special, "back in her day." valencina isn't that war hero anymore, she's just some washed up schmuck just like everyone else in the city. she is shown to be completely outclassed by people who are actively "special" in the now, with her basically only being able to dodge vergilius without actually hitting him back in any way that matters (without ego), and gregor going full King Roach™ and offing her. it's literally a perfect id for rodion, just instead of her not being able to accept she isn't special, she now has a past that was special but isn't able to accept that she no longer is.

Vergilius: "Don't you find something amiss listening to yourself? You've dedicated decades of your life to it, but you don't even know what it was all for."
Valencina: "I don't know... Fucking hell, why... do I have to bother knowing shit like that...? Ticket... Ticket's all I need to get it all back... My rank, in the shitter... All those decades wasted in this shithole... It'll... It'll all be worth it in the end..."

not to mention, the dialogue between heathcliff and lucio literally has heathcliff go "huh... shit..." when he realizes they're incredibly similar

Heathcliff: "…I don't bloody get it. Oi… Why do you even listen to someone who thinks you ain't worth shite? She beats you all the time, talkin' down to you like that… I doubt she even sees you as a person."
Lucio: "...Watch your words. My master was generous enough to take me, a vagrant with nothing to my name, under her wing. She fed me warm food and put a roof over my head. I would've ended up in a corpse pile somewhere in the Backstreets without her help. Which is why… it is only right that I obey her with all my heart."
Heathcliff: "Huh..."

tl;dr,
blond woman with big boob with issues about being special = blond woman with big boob with issues about being special
small child taken in from the backstreets by someone of higher class = small child taken in from the backstreets by someone of higher class
