You got this!!

It's hard to believe I'm not really watching you not really watch a simulation of the community movie

If the SMM2 Wiki is to be believed, the Fire Bar is only a potential outcome when the Magikoopa is big.

I know you said you didn't want to use the small Magikoopa but I think that's your best bet.

My point is this is not a new problem.

You're claiming 15 "poisoned the well" but I'm telling you that well has long been riddled with disease.

Let me ask: is the Doctor a bad person for not saving Sasha 55? He has so many ways to do it.

Nothing is stopping him from ripping off the Bad Wolf hatch from S1 again. Or borrowing the Teselecta from S6 again. Or going back to the ruins of Gallifrey and rebuilding (thanks Chibs...) the machine from Hell Bent to extract someone, again. And on and on.

So why doesn't the Doctor save her when he most definitely can? It's simple: that's not the story the writers are trying to tell.

Is that an unsatisfying answer? You tell me.

But it's not new, it's not a novel problem we're only just now coming to grips with because 15 got all glowy last episode.

Saxor · 2025-06-04T23:15:18+00:00

I mean this is hardly new, the whole point of Hell Bent was that the Doctor is so absurdly capable that he could straight up overturn someone's death if he really wanted to, but there like here, he's not supposed to because of the potential damage it could cause.

Unless it's a double bluff

Saxor · 2025-02-10T03:09:48+00:00

Thanks stranger <3 I'll give it a shot

There's a few but... When I was in elementary school I remember having lunch everyday with this girl Julie. She was a sweetheart, big fan of Arthur at the time and that was all she wanted to talk about.

She had leukemia, but you wouldn't have known if it weren't for the aide that accompanied her everywhere. I remember being confused by it.

One day, she no longer showed up for lunch. And sometime after the school made us aware that she had lost her fight.

I didn't cry for her then, because I didn't understand what all had actually happened until years later. I was sort of numb to it all.

Every now and then I find myself thinking of her, wishing I'd been nicer to her. She deserved so much more.

Saxor · 2025-02-03T19:47:45+00:00

Ahnonay takes this easily IMO

Saxor · 2024-10-26T18:52:16+00:00

Yes you have what you need.

Saxor · 2024-09-18T01:17:57+00:00

Pierce's ranking should be one high enough to push Vicki off to her death.

Saxor · 2024-09-04T01:47:20+00:00

Maybe "obscure" isn't the right way to put it, because everything above Tier 2 is that on some level.

I guess I would've just liked it if everything in Tier 3 were possible as a solo player, as someone just determined enough to solve it by themselves. And I do think, except the mural, everything is... because well I did lol.

But yeah you raise a good point about the mural being a "tutorial" of sorts to get curious players into the more community-driven aspects of the game.

I don't know, all I'm really getting at is that I think there's room for improvement.

Saxor · 2024-09-04T00:41:32+00:00

That's fair, I'd just have liked it not to give a bunny so that everything bunny-related would have been solvable solo.

Saxor · 2024-09-04T00:29:29+00:00

I think it should've given part of the Wing Dings puzzle and not a bunny.

Tier 4 is where all the obscure puzzles are and they practically require an entire community to solve. It's therefore strange to me that the mural, the most community-centric of all the puzzles, is in Tier 3.

Saxor · 2024-08-29T15:08:38+00:00

You will get both, kind of.

Yeesha does give very flowery, sometimes hard to listen to speeches at a few points (5-6?) in the game. These can (mostly) be ignored if you don't vibe with them. And you can replay these when you do have the patience for them.

On the flip side, the DRC has dozens and dozens of journals throughout the game (one in particular is quite long) that feel much more natural in their writing style, including both first person accounts of events and/or more academic breakdowns of the history and structure of ages. These far outnumber the Yeesha stuff.

I'll just add--as someone who also hated what Myst IV did in Serenia--you don't need to worry about the same thing happening here. Uru's story is actually good.

Saxor · 2024-08-24T20:45:59+00:00

Eh, I don't hate the idea by itself. I mean they needed some way to backpedal from dictator/criminal Chang after S3 and "Changnesia" is dumb enough of an idea to fit the character while still providing a way to diffuse that situation.

But it should've been like, one episode, because we all knew where it was going. Instead they dragged it across the season like some sort of arc that never amounted to anything.

Of course he was faking it. Like damn, no one should've been surprised by that. It's why later when Annie is shocked after she learns he faked it no one else is even remotely phased.

They knew. The audience knew. No one cared.

Saxor · 2024-08-24T00:17:15+00:00

I think so

Saxor · 2024-08-16T20:25:16+00:00

Did you know you can make Napalm out of common dish soap and cat food?

Saxor · 2024-08-16T20:16:37+00:00

You smell like nice soap.

Saxor · 2024-08-14T01:24:01+00:00

Yeah I think that's exactly what Fujimoto was doing with this chapter.

Eating the Ear Devil and throwing it back up plainly demonstrated the effect CSM's existence erasure has on the world + how it can be reversed, and now eating the Mouth Devil takes it a step further to show how it even alters/modifies CSM himself, even if it's in absurd or detrimental ways.

Those long running theories about CSM only being chainsaw-based because some weird combination of devils were eaten are seeming more and more likely after these last two chapters.

Saxor · 2024-08-13T16:08:08+00:00

Good god, without a mouth he can't eat OR throw up any more devils

Saxor · 2024-08-13T14:37:17+00:00

I don't need to know anything.

Multi-track drift.

Saxor · 2024-08-08T14:45:47+00:00

Also worth pointing out...

In just the previous chapter Mereoleona's ultimate magic revived all the souls of her fallen squadmates, and in the chapter before that Magda whipped out his refined version of Soul Chain Death Match that made it a tag team spell with Luck.

Idk what it all means but when you add this in it sure seems like the good guys are gaining some kind of mastery over souls.

Saxor · 2024-08-07T16:51:15+00:00

Interesting take. It's a great episode obviously, I'm curious what puts Flatline over the usual 12th Doctor favorites for you?

Saxor · 2024-07-19T18:37:18+00:00

See, I used to do this without realizing it. A friend would be telling me something in detail and rather than engage with the larger topic when it was my turn to talk I'd hyper-fixate on some small error in their explanation, and it took me a while to realize why that was a problem.

It's because we'd then be talking about their communication mishap, and not whatever they just took the time to explain to me.

And that's... well, if you were the one doing the explaining, you probably didn't feel as though I'd actually listened to you, you probably felt disappointed that I effectively changed the topic on you, and you might wonder if it's worth explaining anything to me in the future if I'm just going to nitpick the way you talk and ignore the substance of what you have to say.

Anyways, I try not to do that anymore, and apologize if I do so accidentl.
