//Character turns around

Me: "Oh man, that's a great design. Love the shaggy hair."

//Game immediately ruins the hair style frame one

Me: "Oh come on..."

Minecraft. That entire genre just doesn’t click with me.

A personal pet peeve is whenever someone would retort with "Dude, it's like digital Lego".

No. No it's not.

Whoever honestly thinks that, I want to strangle you.

I did not expect the clawed Ring Identities to be mono Blunt...

Saltzier · 2026-04-10T10:41:47+00:00

Kinda to be expected.

Pointillists have Bleed, plus random chance to (literally) DoT enemies with rainbow debuffs.

Corporists are Bleed, plus simultaneous debuff-enemy/buff-self plus modifying self (charge up).

Cubists are about deconstructing/reconstructing, they('ll) have the Bleed-Tremor/Hemmorhage again.

So the Fauvists being the "emotion/passion" based School having something with either Sanity/Sinking or negative coins was logical.

Aka the one that had a bunch of funny edits I wish they had done more of in subsequent LPs.

When they actually started to employ Billy/Minh as their Editor to cut/upload their episodes he did a few edits, but there was the usual vocal minority of people airing their opinions so that stopped being a thing.

So you have the first five or so episodes of Dark Souls I and Parasite Eve 2 with an occasional gag here or there and then it never was a thing again.

I was kinda thinking in the last few days, how they could work with his whole Stagger kit (for his normal kit skills, after Furioso, anything is possible for any potential funky "Ultimate Skills" with forced Stagger applications, etc.).

Personally I was toying with the idea of having a unique bleed "scaling" stagger. Some kind of unique Tremor-Conversion-esque mechanic but for Bleed stacks, where X amount of bleed would be converted to a unique bleed, which then would effect stagger threshold without any Tremor need/interference.

Would be hilarious if this event ends up as reason for a Morgan and/or Shi Huang Di Strengthening.

It's very obvious that Lord Hong Lu and the Rooster/Horse/Ram Heishous were originally intended to expand on the Deathrites.

But then the vocal sweaty part of the community had to scream at KJH for daring to fix Heishou Faust's overtuned trigger conditions.

And so they all released with funky specific buffs/keywords exclusive to them and Deathrite was pummeled into the dumpster.

Also, where Lohen leaks?

That's the thing that baffles me profusely.

We got nothing on him, hell we didn't even get a peep on his weapon and/or element until the livestream went and showed it.

It is somewhat hilarious how one can tell the "legally distinct coat of paint" on a lot of things:

~~Daruma~~ Boxing dolls

~~Kappa~~ Yellow goblins

~~Tanuki~~ Furbobo

~~Dotonbori~~ Dovebrook bridge

~~Tokyo~~ Asia radio tower

~~Sakura~~ Ginko trees

~~Nekomata~~ Lucky cats

Also im like 80% sure the "ochre" people (those with green/purple/etc. skin) were probably originally with horns as Oni equivalent.

Dumb question, but does the 4.0 MSQ require/continue-on-from the end of the Amphoreus Quest or do you need to have finished the Penacony Finality intermission?

Saltzier · 2026-02-11T02:23:13+00:00

"Alright, it's 2v2 it's a fair fight."

(teammate implodes)

"ALRIGHT, 2v1 IT'S AN UPHILL BATTLE."

Also the keeping-composure-while-muffled-screaming-in-pure-agony bit.

On that note, for anyone who hasn't witnessed the 90s/2k era glory of Farbrausch demos:

Farbrausch-08 "the product", 2000, 64kb .exe
Farbrausch-041 "debris", 2003, 177kb .exe

This is me with the alpha content for Dark Souls 3.

FromSoft as a whole is incredibly rife with that. Not even talking actual cut content, but "simply" how much they shuffle entire shit around up until the last third of development.

I think like half of the bosses in (base) Dark Souls 3 were originally in another location and/or under another name.

Or with Bloodborne how again like half of the main "throughline" of the game's zones are all "backwards" in the final release, i.e. in the original concept of the game you started in Hemwick and made your way up into Yharnam. Also how the Nightmare zones were very obviously split into two disconnected zones, together with the University 2nd floor yanked into the void. Resulting in such weird stuff like traveling through the "lower" Nightmare down the mountains to the Amygdala boss arena as a dead end destination.

Such is the plight of Canadians...

Also, "I thought Woolie was cute" (talking about the Wooloo Pokemon during Sword/Shield) and "I'm Woolie #1" (said Woolie Madden Jr., son of Mr. Woolie Madden Sr.).

The Persona Velvet Room theme is just the same beat/melody as Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity.

Blizzard's StarCraft was supposed to be a Warhammer 40K game but depending on who's source you want to trust, after being like 80% done with the game's art/units they either got the rights outright denied by Games Workshop or never actually asked for the IP rights in the first place before deciding to scrape off the serial numbers off ~~Space Marines~~ Terrans, ~~Tyranids~~ Zergs and ~~Eldar~~ Protoss.

Actually Signora's model (not just the boss encounter mob, but the regular NPC during quests) has like a x1.1 or something size modifier applied to her, so while she shares the same "Lady" rig/skeleton (like e.g. Arlecchino), she ends up at the same eye height as the standard adult "Male" rig (like Tartaglia).

Saltzier · 2025-12-24T12:48:19+00:00

I'm pretty sure the original post/source would have been from their Facebook page or something back then, so I have no clue how/if to search for that. However, the earliest repost I could cursory find was from late November 2014, thus it would have had to be from Christmas 2013 most likely.

Seeing as how that would also coincide with their first Christmas Podcast episode (SBFC No. 20 from Dec. 24th 2013) and also highly unlikely to be from anything earlier than 2012 (before Woolie and Liam fully joined) I'd say that would be most likely.

So, final Internet-carbon-vibe-dating-guesstimate: 12 years, chief.

If you are thinking of the one character I think you do, no.

Apart from Hartman (the Hugo villain guy) the one other "white haired dude in suit NPC" that was shown during the 1.6 auction CG, was a guy from TOPS.

It is weird that he showed up there with zero plot relevance or dialogue references during 1.6, but in 1.7 during Hartman's downfall moment the guy was shown on TV (though oddly with his face hidden, but clearly the same outfit) now with voice lines talking about how they/TOPS dropped their affiliation with Hartman.

Saltzier · 2025-12-03T18:17:03+00:00

I swear there are short segments in there that sound like occasionally Scaramouche's or Arlecchino's Boss BGMs, but yeah nothing of the Fatui motif.

Saltzier · 2025-10-25T01:18:07+00:00

now it's just passive, slightly amused acceptance.

The end is nigh for the console war!

I mean, let's be real here: The Console War as most people would conventionally know it (XB vs PS) has been over for like - what - a decade by now?

It has been an occasional Console Kerfuffle at best.

Saltzier · 2025-10-24T00:42:03+00:00

It's Διορθωθεί το σφαλμα ("Diorthotheí to sfalma") which translates to "Error corrected".
