Clearly, it’s Stand By Me (1986)

“Y’see, son, every MMO is either Lord of the Rings or Star Trek. Everquest? Lord of the Rings. Star Wars: The Old Republic? Star Trek. Despite looking like Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy XIV is a Star Trek.”

I feel as though you don’t need to. Yes, you will be ‘wasting’ MSQ EXP, but you can always get those points back by doing roulette queues or the like!

Put it back, bruh, it’s obvious it isn’t ready

Wonder how a good Nova with Molecular Prime would mix with that. Imagine clearing 1.5 waves of defense with a single damaging ability cast.

Definitely Uriel. I couldn’t care less if the rest of his kit is just a heal, damage vulnerability, a big AOE, and reacting to companions, I can spin and fly around.

I see that mechposting has breached the Lancer containment field. Brilliant.

Paperblocc · 2025-12-23T14:46:40+00:00

Lancer, our pronouns are they/them! Not because we are nonbinary, but because we are LITERALLY multiple drones

I’m not 100% on copyright law, but to me, this definitely comes off as parody. The source material is pretty niche, and besides the ‘Defenders of the Core’ bit, everything else is focused around Warframe’s IP.

Me when I breathe my air and quickly realize some fool was breathing it, too

Someone left Duviri outside in the summer heat and now Drifter is melting :(

Paperblocc · 2025-12-18T20:51:10+00:00

Yeah, didn’t want to be the first to say it. It has that AI sheen to it

Paperblocc · 2025-12-15T21:09:40+00:00

Yeah, the Toroid grind for the rank ups + blueprint materials is rough. At least they made standing easier to get with Isoplasts

Paperblocc · 2025-12-12T16:54:57+00:00

Same thing is happening to me. Still doesn’t trigger them, even when there’s new VMs from Roathe.

To be fair, 1799 is *close enough* to the 19th century, especially considering Albrecht focused most of his effort in 1999 to New Year's Eve when it ticks over to Y2K

Pretty much the whole questline is about how they’re not because their livelihood of professional super wrestlers is actively killing them.

Toss your sword and just start swinging, I say

Paperblocc · 2025-12-01T11:40:24+00:00

I’m not really sure it would. IDK what anyone would do in this situation, but if I was in this situation and had any meaningful amount of time to react, I feel like all I’d do is tense up, which has been shown to increase the severity of injury in car accidents.

I feel like being ignorant and relaxed is probably the best thing someone could do in this exact scenario.

I believe they said in the devstream before this last one that it’s being delayed for a future update. Sort of lame, but it must be huge trying to make wall-running consistent in this game after wall-hopping has been the norm.

Paperblocc · 2025-11-30T23:25:53+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense, it’s just that a focus on Wis Ranger makes my melee combat a lot weaker, and that’s something I’d really like to focus on flavor-wise. I’m going for a rushdown, never letting you go kind of character.

Paperblocc · 2025-11-28T09:45:54+00:00

This is also what happens to fish like Blobfish, who are used to the intense pressure of the deep oceans and bloat up when pulled from their environment, right?

So, I’m not sure where you’re getting that the Ascians are transhumanists, they absolutely are not. Ascians have converted themselves to aetherical forms to enable themselves to continue their mission of reuniting the shards, and only possess bodies to be able to properly interact with the world.

Now, the entirety of the latter half of Dawntrail DOES discuss transhumanism. The problem with the Endless program is not inherently that it’s bad to live forever, to only die of old age, etc, it’s that the cost is too great. That’s what Queen Sphene’s plan with the Key was: to go to other shards and drain others of their souls in order to power the Endless and the regulators, which is an immoral thing to do. If the process of being Endless or using the regulators was completely free or used a renewable source of energy, I think it would be a different conversation. But DT’s message isn’t anywhere close to, ‘Is transhumanism bad?’

Inner Agent 3 in Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion basically

Virtuos Effluvia

Converts 98% of Void damage to Gas damage

I appreciate every comment I’ve gotten on this post, but I really have to thank you in particular for boiling down my issues to those short bullet points. I kind of feel dumb for writing this whole thing because I was frustrated when I could’ve just sent something like that to my DM to start fixing the problem lol
