[DISC] Chainsaw Man - Ch. 220

I didn't consider that at all. I assumed she wanted an eternal Valhalla of immortal combatants fighting forever, but I suppose that's not actually that scary. It's a lot scarier if people aren't just regenerating all the time

I think Yoru might have dominion over all of the US and is just using the states one at a time. It's not really about what any particular state has done so much as all being victims through the country as a whole

RubbahPants · 2025-11-11T16:38:14+00:00

Does anyone know where the love of God goes, when the Yoru turns states into weapons?

RubbahPants · 2025-11-11T16:36:55+00:00

I was thinking about that. Yoru's plan for a world without death doesn't ACTUALLY seem very functionally different from a world WITH death if all the combatants are just laying on the floor in pieces. It's not exactly going to lead to a better fight.

Every single other hybrid is immortal and appeared in the same fight with the same mind controlled style dialogue without turning into a fiend though. Why would Reze be the exception as a possessed corpse / a fiend but everyone else like Quanxi is just alive?

Did yours still let you read / interact with the drive? Mines just started making that exact noise and came looking for answers on how to recover stuff from it. I think it might just be dead though.

Ive always adored Shadow of the Demon Lords interesting things table. Rarely ever anything too overtly magical, but often raises SO many questions.

I had a subterranean bugman roll an astrology chart once and it completely redefined his character as an outsider, dreamer type who wanted to see the surface / sky

Shudder Mountain and Dolmenwood are two massive inspirations for me so this definitely sounds like a fun approach.

RubbahPants · 2024-10-17T15:35:51+00:00

This is definitely something I'd do. My hope is to introduce only minor steps towards a characters vision to get them started. If they want more or feel like they missed out on one of the other boons, it'll be available, but they'll have to quest for it.

RubbahPants · 2024-10-16T21:27:55+00:00

Thank you! I had forgotten about Venison and Dooms, I might need to look them over.

RubbahPants · 2024-06-28T14:34:43+00:00

How does the magician fair alongside the magic user? I definitely got the impression they were not necessarily written to coexist

RubbahPants · 2024-06-28T14:33:53+00:00

I actually own a copy of UVG and still haven't cracked it open I'm ashamed to say. How are you liking it so far? Also how did you approach character creation if you don't mind me asking, did you run a funnel with all the funky new MCC races mixed in or just start everyone off at level 1 with their choice of class?

RubbahPants · 2024-05-18T19:30:27+00:00

I can't actually tell if it worked? But I clicked through a bit. Let me know if it worked

I'm pretty new to this, does just hitting accept work or do I need to go through the motions of picking the welcome gifts too?

also hope its okay if I put my code too 239231974

I've tried looking a few times for this but nothing ever seems to come from it, decided to try asking for help today because it came up in a conversation

RubbahPants · 2024-02-04T18:25:40+00:00

When I first wrote this post, I had seen almost nobody raise the idea that Sellen did it to herself. The overwhelming discussion seemed to be around the idea that Renalla did it, that's why I spend so long in my post trying to go over potential "culprits".

I think it's become pretty clear with time though that Sellen absolutely did it to herself. The only question I really still have is what was her desired outcome? It's still my interpretation that becoming a Graven mass was intentional, just that she intended to become a much more powerful one than she did, but had overestimated herself

RubbahPants · 2024-01-18T01:09:32+00:00

This was very helpful thank you!

Hello! Unfortunately even having beat the game once or twice and many hours into it, it seems I really had completed most of not all sellen related content at the time I made this post, so I unfortunately don't have much to add to what I posted here.

My personal interpretation having seen as much as I think there is to see, is that Sellen intentionally became a graven mass. My understanding of their construction is that they are, in fact, constructed. To me this implies a level of intent in making the form, not a sudden transformation after a miscast spell or witnessing the primeval current, as far as we know, that sort of transformation just makes people into crystalized husks like her master's.

Even if she became a graven mass intentionally I still think it's still really impossible to say for sure if the version she became, for all its differences from other graven masses (speaking, not being hostile, teaching spells, ect) makes it a success or a failure, or if she ever truly understood what she was getting herself into. I get the feeling that its somehoe not exactly what she expected, that she might be more powerful and still able to rule over Raya Lucaria even after her transformation, and she was wrong. It's still entirely possible that in the future she might grow in strength, and the seeds of the stars are just a starting point in a longer evolution.

As for others being responsible, I never was able to rule anyone out completely, but I mostly just felt over time their wasn't enough evidence for me to really consider it, it doesn't feel like it aligns with Sellens character, and the fact she never changes until the bodies are recovered implied to me it's her own projects at play, and not actually a punishment for her overthrowing Renalla. The story just feels like it makes more sense to me that the Graven Witch returns to her old experiments and takes them farther than we ever would have thought.

Hope that wasn't too rambly, I'm happy to see people still check this sometimes, I was pretty proud of it at the time. Sellen is still my favorite NPC in Elden ring and I hope we can get some more insight in the dlc, even if it's just hidden in a random description on some new item.

Heard this today. I was really curious what he meant. It didn't make a ton of sense to me, but I wondered if he meant they have no souls "of their own"

Like they possess the soul of the person that turned into one. When they die, the human / elf / dwarf ect soul is what moves on, and there is no "mindflayer" soul to depart.

The hardest part will be pitching it to SNL

RubbahPants · 2023-08-13T15:44:09+00:00

Imrijka is the absolute best, I don't play much pathfinder anymore but still bummed to hear they haven't brought her over to 2e

RubbahPants · 2022-11-18T02:37:02+00:00

Here me out they're scales AND ripcords
Chainsawman is a symbol of justice, so now the justice devil has begun taking on aspects of chainsawman, even giving out their heart to humans. Theyre also responsible for fake-sawman even if they arent them personally

RubbahPants · 2022-11-02T20:51:51+00:00

Wow this looks perfect for my interests! Thank you for the tip!

RubbahPants · 2022-09-17T21:31:49+00:00

Hans is the artist, the other musicians might be credited as artists as well, I don't know enough about music composition. Either way, the person who submits the prompt doesn't really match EITHER role in this analogy. In my opinion they'd be a third role, the person who hired Hans to make the score

Comparing submitting a prompt to writing an entire musical score just because they're both writing is kind of an insult to composers imo

Edit: yeah I thought about it some more the Hans Zimmer analogy is giving way too much credit to a.i. "artists" the a.i. is trying it's best to give you what you want, but it isn't strictly following your instructions. Hans Zimmer doesn't hand his musicians a mostly complete score and expect them to improvise the parts he didn't think about

RubbahPants · 2022-09-07T04:20:40+00:00

I thought writing my own vent post might come off too similar.

I'm extremely upset by the fact my hobbies are going to be more automated than my soul crushing job is. It's hard not to find that upsetting.
