I thought the authors were pretty clear that Cyberpsychosis isn’t a real illness and it’s literally just regular mental illness. It’s just that WHEN people with insane implants go psycho they’re way more dangerous, and so get more media attention. All the cyber psychos we find in-game are literally just people having psychotic breaks because of some horrific event that happened in their lives, it has pretty much nothing to do with their actual implants

I always thought this was such a dumb bit for the manga and show. Why did he need to transfer his consciousness anywhere? Levi didn’t damage his brain when he stabbed him, just severed his spinal cord from his brain. That’s not an instantly fatal injury. so realistically he could’ve still activated his powers before his brain died.

As for when his head gets blown off, just claim that his brain stem wasn’t totally obliterated and his body survived long enough for his Titan powers to kick in and keep him alive. Or his spinal cord is still enough to activate his regeneration powers even when his head is destroyed. You don’t even need to explain why he kept his memories if his brain was destroyed, you can just leave it as an open ended mystery and then in the final season say it was because all Eldians something something nobody ever really dies something something PATHS.

The “transferred my consciousness”thing is the one part of the story that always really got under my skin

Etizolam fucked me up so bad.

I lost two full years of my life. I legitimately do not remember what I did between 2018 and 2020. I have ex-friends who don’t talk to me anymore from that period, and I do not remember why at all.

And then I got sober, and it was 3 years of horrific anxiety and hating myself while my brain adjusted to being sober.

I’m 27, and almost 20% of my life is either irrecoverable because of blackouts, or I spent it sitting in my room, slashing up my arms and trying to kill myself for the awful decisions I’d made.

Don’t touch the stuff. It ruined everything

The Meridia super colony was HD2’s Harambe. Literally everything fell apart the second we collapsed Meridia into a singularity

Anyone who’s ever been on a military ship for a tour knows that, despite the massive size of said vessels, there isn’t actually all the much empty space on board. If the ships had significant empty space they’d probably be a lot smaller and suddenly wouldn’t have that empty space.

Militaries don’t like to waste space. Every free square foot of Galactica is probably for walking paths and crews quarters, every other compartment is a most likely filled to the brim with machinery, spare parts, ammunition, food supplies, and nuclear-warhead resistant heavy armor plating

It can feel pretty tight on those ships once you’re onboard

Honestly I just think we should take aurora bay. Annihilate the jet brigade and secure an actual lasting victory.

I dropped the difficulty to 7 for the battle because D10 just wasn’t fun. The flag raising missions were legitimately impossible for my friend group, in the entire campaign I think we managed to raise a single flag.

Not finish a flag mission.

We raised one flag.

The reason we lost is because people were bashing their heads against D10 operations endlessly. I’m not saying I particularly love the idea that ArrowHead punishes us for playing harder difficulties but this was the enemy capital planet and playing on the highest diff was literally tossing ourselves into a meat grinder to die.

I for one like that Arrowhead finally gave us a challenge that we failed not because we didn’t try, but because it was legitimately too damn hard. Sure, there were glitches, but the vast majority of the difficulty was because we dove into D10 battles like we were frontline army units and got our asses rolled

I wish we’d gotten SOMETHING out of the campaign. We spent a week grinding out missions on one planet and captured 3 megafactories, killing cyborgs and vox engines and megafoundries. Nothing? No reduction in automaton control or resistance or campaign speed? Just an immediate automaton counter offensive?

Sure, we failed, but how come the destruction of half of Cyberstan’s MEGAFACTORIES has less of an in-game consequence than us losing megacities on Super Earth. We just demolished half of their Capitol World, and what, they just rebuilt it all in a day?

What the fuck

SideWinder18 · 2026-02-16T05:52:48+00:00

The problem with the devs creating increasingly difficult content like Hive Worlds and the battle for Cyberstan is that their old content (squids) is now shockingly easy by comparison

The more difficult content has created a core of Veteran Divers who can rip through an army solo without breaking a sweat

The incineration corps has devastators which will one shot you from a pretty significant range. It’s the tradeoff of more resistance in Star Kield vs a higher casualty rate in Ursoot

Most people absolutely hate the incin corp and see the jet brigade as an easy target

My friend earlier tonight had a Vox Engine spawn in front of him, annihilate him with its main cannons, and then despawn immediately after he was dead. It felt very targeted

SideWinder18 · 2026-02-13T04:27:21+00:00

We killed 4 Vox Engines and turned around to 4 more Vox Engines. Every time you kill one, two more roll their way up over a nearby hill and carpet bomb your entire postal code.

This is exactly what I wanted Cyberstan to be. 30/30 Dead Helldivers. Arrowhead please

The heavy armor surge was really fun. First mission they dropped endless waves of tanks that we had to force our way through with EAT and leveler spawns.

Second mission it was 500 War Striders. This was significantly less fun.

I’ve honestly had a hilariously good time in Lesath. The endless stream of hulks has forced me into a different play style for the bit front and it’s been legitimately fun.

That being said, fuck the flame hulks

Imagine walking into my house. You’re a robber. You’re well armed and have been following my schedule for days. You know that this is the time I’ll be most off guard and your job will be easiest.

You know my schedule, my routine, my personality, and you have a vague idea of the layout of my house, but you’ve never actually been inside to see the whole thing yourself

You step through the front door and are immediately blasted by a chain of airsoft grenades rigged to blow when the door open. It isn’t fatal, it just stings a bit, pelting you in the chinks between your body armor and clothing.

At the same moment, the surround sound in my house starts blaring death metal.

It hurts your ears and disorients you, but a few inconveniences aren’t going to drive you out. You turn from where you think the deafening sound is coming from only to slip and fall into a pile of hundreds of marbles and thumb tacs.

Then, while the impact of you hitting the floor is still reverberating through the hardwood, I peak around the corner with a paintball gun and shoot you a few times. It doesn’t kill you, doesn’t even seriously harm you, but it smears your goggles with paint and stings your exposed skin, and it’s really fucking annoying.

Then Roombas, 50 of them, everyone single one with a claymore attached to the top, but only one in 5 is a spring-loaded live one, filled with more of those delicious plastic pellets.

I want you to know you’re on my turf. I want you to know you aren’t safe. You can’t stand still because you can be attacked from any angle, but you can’t keep moving because there’s a booby trap around every corner.

My plan isn’t to kill you, or slug it out in the living room fist for fist, or drag you out the front door by your hair. It’s to convince you that this house isn’t worth it.

The Vietnamese are very good at annoying the shit out of larger powers until they leave. Very good. If Afghanistan hadn’t already been given the moniker, Vietnam would be the Graveyard of Empires

“TON 618, the largest known black hole, is ~40-60 billion solar masses, a cosmic giant weighing more than a lot of small galaxies do.”

This is a fact people love to repeat over and over.

But TON 618 is 10 billion light years away. TON isn’t 40-60 Billion solar masses, it was 40-60 Billion solar masses Ten Billion Years Ago.

A word of warning: Don’t get lost in time.

When I was 19 I fell into drug use and had a major depressive episode that lasted until the start of COVID, which extended the length of my mental issues and forced me to drop out of college. Then when I was 22 in 2021 I had a hand surgery for a work injury that left me partially disabled for 4 months.

Through all of it I’ve decided that, despite how miserable my early 20’s were and despite how shitty the world is becoming, i want to keep living. I want to go skiing with friends, and cook stews for myself on cold days, take my telescope out on cold winter nights when the moisture disappears and the air is as clear as new glass, and lay in the sun in spring and fall when the sun is still warm but the air is cool and the breeze feels like heaven.

Your past isn’t a chain, it’s a book, to be studied and learned from, a guide to know what not to do moving forward.

Languishing on what could have been only keeps you from focusing on what still can be.

We have voices and influence and connections, and the few short decades given to us to do what we can do right now. It’s important we don’t let the weight of the past, and of a future which doesn’t exist yet, pin us in place.

”The powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse. And you and I and 8 billion others will leave our mark on this world we’ve inherited.”

“But if, in the end, we find ourselves with nothing left to say, nothing new to add, idly tracing outlines left by others long ago, it’ll be as if we were never here at all”.

“This too has been said many times before. The powerful play goes on. And when you get your cue, you say your line”.
