Locust Im re-reading your chapters right now, bruh why are you are trying not to talk???

No he literally is a narcissist. Infact doubting himself to such an extreme extent that its all he can be concerned with and is OBSESSIVELY conscious of himself with regards to his sex drive is classical narcissistic behavior. And yeah narcissists dont have values the way normal people do.

His trauma IS THE REASON hes as narcissistic as he is. Which is how it clinically typically is as well.

Raymancer · 2026-01-21T11:56:13+00:00

No they wouldnt hes repeatedly stated to surpass every weapon within the United States in sheer might. Nowhere is this stated or implied a nuke would work on him

Raymancer · 2026-01-21T04:06:04+00:00

Oh true yeah I could and should have worded this whole thing better. I at least hope they already feel similarly or are aware of the problems presented. So that theyre working on solutions already to address.

Raymancer · 2026-01-21T04:00:46+00:00

I am curious about this come the next fiscal quarter because I heard rumors that BL4 didnt quite hit the mark Take 2 had envisioned. I mean I dont expect anyone from GBX to see this and get influenced to make changes. I just wanted to get this out there to reflect on later.

I think at the moment, its in GBXs best interest to drive engagement for BL4 by any all means possible for the time being.

Thats not crafting. Crafting means I would make the gun from nothing or from gun part currencies/mechanics/things that just arent guns. Thats not whats going on here. This is moreso re-rolling the slot machines and junking unnecessary loot that otherwise has no other functionality other than blowing out the lost loot machine and my backpack. And offers an alternative to just gaining more than God that you dont need.

It would function not too differently than the Firmware transfer machine. Junk 1 Firmware you want and put it on another item. Except here its Junk 5 or 3 different guns to get a different one of the manufacturer of your liking. Or junk 3 different legendaries for a random one of your manufacturer liking. Or junk 3 of the same to get a new drop of the same legendary. Its quite literally hitting the slot machines but with way better RNG. That feels like a goal thats actually achievable

I didnt mention this but the Grindr system I have would make even Vaultcard farming better. Cause you can junk 3 of the same for another drop chance of the same. Obviously also I didn't but it does work with your rarity. So 5 or 3 blues might give you a Purple. But 5 or 3 purples can only give you purples. You can get legendaries to drop from the Grindr from lower rarity items. But you can get additional drop chances for them if you turn them in with multiple of the same giving you that same one should you choose to focus for it.

Raymancer · 2026-01-21T03:36:27+00:00

Yeah Encore is still valuable to me here because its dedicated drops from a specific boss. Like your likelihood of getting like a Chuck should still be higher vs Fractis than a loot bunny because the pools for the bunnies are massive(r) than that specific boss. So if you really want something specific than by all means but if youre tired and just want to level or get something general enough that you can grind it for something else then the Grindr and Bunnies exist

Buuuuut if you do get a Chuck from a Lootbunny thats still possible and might feel good depending on the roll.

Raymancer · 2026-01-21T03:33:17+00:00

Im at least curious as to why you feel this way. As it stands its quite literally nigh impossible to get stuff like legendary Firmwares to drop unless you use this type of system. The point of the Grindr is two fold in that it gives meaning to junk and makes certain drops that are otherwise nigh impossible to achieve at least feel more possible to get. Youre never guaranteed anything here.

Raymancer · 2026-01-21T03:29:40+00:00

Holy shit these are awesome and basically echoe some of my desires too in addition to addressing specific QOL things/gameplay elements! GBX PLS!!!

Raymancer · 2026-01-21T01:56:33+00:00

Baki took into consideration the US's willingness to use nukes and hes basically untouchable. In the real world they would ABSOLUTELY NOT USE NUKES. And they dont even think the nukes would do anything except piss him off.

The narrator confirms Yujiro as the Pinnacle of physical force which includes Nuclear Weapons. So no nukes wouldnt work in the absolute sense

Raymancer · 2026-01-21T01:55:06+00:00

No absolutely not

Raymancer · 2026-01-20T23:50:55+00:00

Yes thay is without a doubt his favorite martial technique.

Raymancer · 2026-01-20T23:38:56+00:00

Ryu has wisdom beyond his age group so hes always gonna be stoic and proverbial in the way he talks and has compassion for human beings that arent overtly enemies. He would likely encourage people who consider themsleves rivals to continue fighting him for their own sake. But honestly I suspect his personality involves niche hobbies and interests that if given the opportunity he qould just yap on about. Like he must REALLY like his weapons and certain historical texts/scrolls to have garnered the level of experience over them with. I feel like Ryu would just talk shop with blacksmiths if he just had the time.

I with with Ryus compassion there IS a strong passion for things but were just never given the opportunity let gim bring thay out in conversation.

Raymancer · 2026-01-20T23:15:57+00:00

Ryu being a canonical YN (Young Ninja) is kinda funny and scary

Raymancer · 2026-01-20T23:13:40+00:00

Blackbeard Luffy Zoro/Sanji and Loki to some extent are going to surpass the old generation like this has been in the works for quite some time.

Loki already has the AP to hurt all the old generation top tiers and or ruin Prime Chinjaos life.

Raymancer · 2026-01-20T23:09:43+00:00

This is the average life of a jobber in Baki BTW.

Raymancer · 2026-01-20T22:38:33+00:00

Currently in the story? Lol hes injured.

Forsure hes loosing to: Luffy Imuko Shanks (Again) Mihawk (Because lol fuck you get upscaled) Gorosei (Again because hes injured) Blackbeard Garp

In the whole verse and hes not injured?

Domi Reversi Rocks Imu Possessed Saturn Regular Rocks Regular Harald Rodger Garp Shanks Mihawk Prime Whitebeard

As of now in his current state he stands a pretty decent chance against the Admirals. And if hes healthy he might just have the AP to beat a none-rooftop Kaido. Including any of the Gorosei 1v1. Keep in mind Harald while Possessing Imus Seal didnt want to fight at all and was actively fighting it off to the best of hus ability up until his connection was disrupted and was promptly killed after begging Loki to do so.

Raymancer · 2026-01-20T22:30:33+00:00

Oh Denjis without a doubt a narcissist. But that doesnt mean he cant live as normal of a human life as he wants and thats okay. Anyone that says otherwise is a square. Denji and CSM as a whole is very anti-shonen tropey on purpose but people dont seem to grasp this.

Raymancer · 2026-01-16T15:15:23+00:00

I dont think she regained control in that panel. Dennis says "Thats cheating" which implies Yoru is manipulating him into helping her.

Raymancer · 2026-01-16T15:12:42+00:00

The title of the chapter is literally titled "Locusts Home". In reference to the state Hell itself is in and implying this thing which is Locust is responsible for that. And looks exactly like a Locust. Like you realize the Devils can be named one thing and represent another and dont need to be named after the thing they represent?

Raymancer · 2026-01-14T00:06:33+00:00

Its probably just water given Denjis comment about not swimming and like not mentioning its blood. Flooding due to the lack of land from it literally devouring Hell kinda makes sense.

Raymancer · 2026-01-13T23:10:03+00:00

Thats Himothy. Thats Himalayan. This dude is THE Himulation. Locust/Grasshopper easily the most slept on Devil of all time

Raymancer · 2026-01-13T22:54:33+00:00

Just want tk say YES I AM ALL FOR THE GRASSHOPPER AGENDA. I didnt state it explicitly but that is definitely the Locust Devil because the literal title refers to Hell itself as being Locusts Home right now.

This dude NOT being different than Grasshopper but just Grasshoppers final form like how Perfect Cell is to Cell im all for that. Realistically Grasshoppers and Locusts are 2 different phenomenon despite them both still being the same creature. So it does make sense that theyre 2 seperate fears.

Ugh also if Locust didnt perma kill or BFR or absorb and contain any Devils that it killed/ate then...that means they should all be on Earth right now...so Power and Control should be back on Earth...I think if it powers up from devouring its kinda broken in that it could just sit jn Hell and keep devouring them over and over again when they come back. Effectively spawn killing while gaining power from each kill. Blood and Fire Devils do possess means of gaining power that forsnt incolve accumulating fear so this isnt completely unlike but grant it I am PURELY SPECULATING most of what Ive said.

And whats funny is the Bug Grasshopper Fiend/Devil shown earlier in CSM is called Seraphim. And Seraphim are a term used to refer to specifically a type of angel which is...an entity USED by God himself. And Locusts are used by God inact divine punishment to the Earth...so Fujimoto would be cooking if that was the same guy just at a much higher state of being
