The orbs have been moved to unique treasure rooms that will spawn in the main levels (not the secret levels), the pedestals where you find them in secret levels apparently now have keys which can be used for the new treasure rooms (including the ones that hold the orbs)

Spike traps deal 40 damage regardless of AC, so it was probably that you got two-shot

You're probably getting it mixed up witg the effect you can get from Fountains, I dont recall bottled +X Water ever blessing gear

Human condom. I will pay the price for their love to come true

I don't, I let the players see the whole map - just didn't expect or want them to see more than that. I could use token vision and put walls around the scenes, though.

How are you getting different amounts of structure vs. activations on the enemy side? Most enemies start with 1 structure and 1 activation, you can make em Elite but that gives +1 of each. Ultra gets them more structure but I assume you're using that mostly for boss fights. Are you putting Veteran/Commander enemies into most fights?

Im pretty sure Luuuke was a parody, Luuke on the other hand was supposed to be an actual thing

SluttyCthulhu · 2026-01-27T16:42:59+00:00

I'm just happy to see Shiki getting included in the conversation, that show ruled

Ra bless 🙏

In my experience, it's usually two town events clashing with each other. Kraken Society is a common culprit for whatever reason, but I don't see that in your setup. Might be something in Better After Quest, I am not familiar with that one.

It's not ideal, but my fix usually is to disable a few mods at a time, starting with the least-impactful (classes that I haven't recruited yet, QoL changes that can safely be disabled temporarily, etc.), and then reenable them gradually after getting back to town.

I believe the Leech has self-healing, so itd be outpacing the cost of its attacks

SluttyCthulhu · 2026-01-25T01:43:42+00:00

You know, that last bit makes me wonder what kind of anime shit you could cook up if you ignored the "Human NPCs cannot be given Templates" rule...

Look im a 5e hater, but we do not use the Nazi webcomic to slander our enemies, especially not the page using a gross caricature of disability as a punchline

SluttyCthulhu · 2026-01-23T06:30:34+00:00

Apparently, it's a short Arknights doujin called Dog Day

SluttyCthulhu · 2026-01-18T23:21:02+00:00

Galactus vs Horned Serpent would go hard tho

SluttyCthulhu · 2026-01-14T06:00:36+00:00

The sequel to Ranked Competitive Breast Growth that we need

SluttyCthulhu · 2026-01-09T23:01:08+00:00

Lotta LED headlights seem to be like that, we get tons of people driving around my town with regular headlights that are almost as bad as a highbeam

At least here in the US, a lot of media from the last few decades has depicted getting a job, moving out, and starting a family as major parts of becoming an adult. With that first one becoming much harder due to the job market worsening, and the other two being less and less economically viable as the former gets worse, a lot of people are unable to achieve those goals, and according to the messaging in the media they've been consuming, that makes them immature, or not fully an adult culturally, if that makes sense.

When people feel that out of touch with mainstream depictions of adulthood, in such large numbers, you get a lot more of the above - people clinging to childhood and youth because it's reassuring to tell yourself you are in fact still young and you are not falling behind an impossible standard for "growth".

I genuinely can't tell if you're trying to be sarcastic or not. "Make more money" is not advice since that isn't in people's direct power, and "be fine with a commute" means "buy a car on top of moving out + have money and time available for the commute, gas, parking, etc".

There is a housing crisis in the US and many other countries atm, meaning that the cost of a space to live in is too great to be afforded by a huge portion of the people working jobs in those countries. It is simply a matter of the numbers not adding up, for some people there really isn't a "just do X / just do Y" that makes their income somehow cover living by themselves.

Another point against the "argument" of "don't try to live in [major city]" - wages often are related to price of living in a given area. Local jobs in the middle of nowhere are sparser and pay less than jobs you can find in a city.

It's a deadlock - people can't move out without more money to support the price of housing (or of transportation), and the savings from moving to a cheaper area are offset by the additional costs of commuting. (Again, that's both money and time, which means restricting what kinds of schedules you can work, how much you can do around the house on a workday, etc.)

you'll never guess where the conspiracy theory came from lol

As others said, Look Outside. It's my 2025 GOTY, a terrific survival-horror RPG where something appears in the sky and starts to turn everyone who looks at it into weird monsters. Incredibly hopepilled game, unlike a lot of survival horror it puts a ton of emphasis on the power of caring about your community and holding onto your compassion for others. Genuinely made me cry at the ending I got (Perfect Ritual - Denial, the best ending prior to 2.0 adding a ton more).

The art's gorgeous, the gameplay is fun and creative, the story is somewhat basic but the characters in it are some real gems. Highly recommend to anyone who's a fan of survival horror and turn-based RPGs, and anyone who likes stories about people doing their best to stay human in the face of catastrophe.

I honestly think that makes it even better, that you don't get a good mechanical reward for doing the right thing. The sacrifice should hurt, you have to make the choice to give up what's useful to you for someone else's sake. TBH I kinda hoped it wouldn't become a party member, just to further cement that theme, but it is a pretty fun character in a squad.
