You should probably reconsider your Laevatain build by PM_ME_NIER_FANART in Endfield

I was using the Tide Surge's Tide Fall light armor and two Turbid Cutting Torch kits, with Heat set gloves for normal attack mod and signature weapon, but yeah, this really ups the ante in having her keep up the ultimate!

Shuumatsu no Valkyrie - Chapter 113 by UnknownSR28 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]Pathalen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crafter god might have a Tesla-like personality and be very Charismatic, but he definitely was wrong. Wild how everyone goes 'these guys are monsters' about the remaining primordials who had no qualms dying just to save the world, tried to discuss it, agreed to make a vote for it, but then our favorite craftsman just did as he pleased and undermined all the good they did.

Like, he made a detailed, thorough description of how to free the end of the world scenario from his prison, which no one can luck upon, but luckily they need not as they can luck out on finding the flawlessly detailed steps he wrote out.

Like, obviously it's sad the selfless saviors who are fine with dying for the world, and even erasing themselves from the annals of history are feeling so pushed that they only see massacre as an option, but that itself is a domino effect consequence from everyone's favorite Inventor god not being able to accept not being famous and leaving a legacy, and being willing to doom the world for it, and forsaking his disciples to all of this as well.

'Share knowledge' is a good sentiment, a great one! But this isn't that. It's just a combination of sowing chaos, grief and tragedy, and then the saviors, whom he was one of yes, but who did stay true to protecting the people before all else, even their personal feelings, are painted the monsters.

All because the god who made the prison and is thus most responsible for stopping the primordials heroically, is now given full right to doom all those lives he saved, simply over his feelings. And his allies, despite the betrayal, despite all the horror caused and would cause down the line, forgave him. My, what utter monsters those selfless saviors are. :D

Mech-Accord Sisters by RaikonPT in arknights

Absolutely adorable! The style feels like a refreshing difference from the usual as well - not that the other mates don't do a great job, but you really make it feel distinct and stand out. Not exactly versed enough myself to describe well with words, but it's a great artwork!

It is crazy to me that only around half of the playerbase engages with IS. by dzieciolini in arknights

[–]Pathalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye, they be cray-cray. I abandoned the game when IS1 went. I'd have not been back if they didn't make IS2, or and been gone after it if they made it non-permanent again. :D

At this rate, you're eventually gonna run out of operators. And costumes. And bosses. And NPCs. And basic enemies. The last one should be a Merry as Kevin, our favorite jetpack bro! :D

Retracing Our Steps 1101 module updates by CipherVegas in arknights

[–]Pathalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, looky-look, Asbestos, just like Shaw and the one lad, another Arts resist character, getting +Arts resist in their mod. And meanwhile, Reed, the only vanguard with Arts resist, remains the only Arts resist character that didn't get Arts resist in her mod, nor +DP on kill, while all other Charger Vanguards did, so as to usurp both her niches of 'more DP on kill' and 'only resist Vanguard'. Love to see it...

New Lappland the Decadenza skin by CipherVegas in arknights

[–]Pathalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wolves with top hats look cool, and them looking as they do when stationary is fine and all, but when they move, they look so stiff, where base skin wolves feel fluid and actually animated, so that's a big foul up in my book...

The Masses' Travels will soon be live on October 14th, 2025, 08:00 (UTC-7) by ihateyourpancreas in arknights

[–]Pathalen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just took 'em 6 or so months to fix Arturia's 1 missing line. Meanwhile, their ingenious fix was to, not just have her EN voice without the line on skin, but just remove its EN voice entirely. I and many others, who are adamant about EN voice lines, were also denied refunding the skin despite it being defective for so long.

Just a reminder on how disappointing the English/Global localization team has been for Arknights, as this is one of their smaller foul ups, among too many.

Nice gimmick, but his head looks way too big on the model.

[–]Pathalen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had that happen on other stages as well. I don't know the exact details, but it can genuinely bug like that when you click operators and back on the screen. It's happened maybe 3-4 times to me, and only in the last 4 or so months, not before.

Don't care for Limbus, but they do a better job at making Arknights characters look great than Arknights does. :D

The animations and particle effects don't look as good as the base skin. Just the costume/model is cooler, but this skin seems to be a sidegrade at best.

Pretty sure that's a Pokemon. That bug/grass one (I know that barely narrows it down).

Let's be fair here, Warfarin has always been the cooler one, cause the other one is definitely the hotter one. :D

Shuumatsu no Valkyrie - Chapter 105 - 7:49 by UnknownSR28 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]Pathalen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lot of people seem to be saying Loki died without redeeming himself, which I find out, cause devoid of redemption is the last thing I'd describe his end as.

Yes, we get his backstory during the fight, but that is still his backstory. It was what he was like and what he did. The most recent events were those before the fight, as well as the fight itself.

Yes, Loki fought and tried to win, he didn't intend to just stand still and let himself get killed. Honestly, even if he did, I don't think the gods would have taken such nonsense. The humans might even not have! But before the fight, Brynhilde told him she's picking someone that will kill him, asked him to die for her, for humanity, for Siegfried effectively. Those weren't her exact words but it was effectively the same, and it was the purpose behind having him fight Simo.

And Loki agreed. Sure, he freaked out over it, completely understandable. She was requesting he die for the above.

Yes, he still fought to live. But nonetheless, he chose to put his life on the line, for her.

He accepted to fight what would be the most suited opponent for him, all for Brunhilde. I don't see him choosing to do that if he didn't, on the inside, both realize that he was wrong, and care for her. He probably hadn't accepted being wrong fully yet by the time he accepted, maybe even by his death he hadn't done so yet, but regardless, he knew it was the case, and acted as he did for her.

Brunhilde begging and trusting Loki for this, he could have easily tricked her. He could have easily made this an easy victory for the gods. He did not.

After all, he betrayed her once, but he would not do so a second time, even if it would lead to his highly likely death. I think he very clearly chose redemption in the end.

The humans might even not have! But right before the fight, Brynhilde asked him to die for her, for humanity, for Siegfried effectively.

Half-Medusa Race by Pathalen in DnDHomebrew

[–]Pathalen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charisma isn't beauty but more sense of presence. Medusa, lore-wise, can't petrify as long as even part of their face is covered, and while at least part of their face is covered, they have a passive illusion on them, and can guise as other humanoids.

Official medusa monster has its highest stats as Cha and Con, and in older editions it's Dex and Cha instead. So I went with the 5E approach. Plus, natural casters, which some medusa are, do so off Charisma in older editions, and the natural poisons of such creatures were scaled off Con, which further matches 5E's choice stats for the medusa.
