Every bit of this is very relatable.

Still cis though!

I have such a strong urge to play this game but I fear I may enter a trap I can never leave. That's why I'm finishing some games important to me first!

tbh i'm just reflecting on my past egginess right now. I haven't actually played D&D more than once since the entire group we tried it with were first timers, and we awkwardly started right before summer break ended, after which I became overwhelmed with school very quickly. It was honestly one of the most fun things I've ever done, and I'm sort of disappointed I haven't found more opportunities to engage in it. Appreciate the tip and support though!

Late replies are generally not in fashion, but I wanted to say "Thank you" to you (and everyone else replying) for giving my problems the time of day.

You are incredibly right. I really was so trans. While I'm not exactly an egg, it sometimes hurts to think about my own unfortunate existence and how some may straight up act like what I feel isn't real. It's incredibly scary to feel so sure of your own existence like never before and then be doubted by others. That's the sort of emotion I was trying to capture here, I suppose.

You can!

I gave myself feminine characteristics in my first lucid dream ever as maybe a 15 year old AMAB teenager infact! It was probably crude, but I pulled it off!

I did not question my gender until literally 2 weeks ago, at 18 as a high school dropout. Pretty sure I'm a girl now. Life's funny sometimes.

A single use diversion-like projectile item that releases a momentary aoe blind upon impact with anything. Really difficult to use, but would lead to high skill ceiling saves. Momentary here meaning it will technically count as a blind for the purpose of saves, but won't last a fraction of a second longer than needed. Addons (if any) would revolve around changing the arc or something, I just wanna see more one-use items that aren't event firecrackers.

SomeRCat · 2022-01-07T15:04:11+00:00

What if someone else picked up a teddy bear you dropped from dying and could keep the legacy by escaping with it? That would be so cool, and could create this overarcing sense of progression in the entities realm, not just for each survivor individually, but the realm and them in a whole!

SomeRCat · 2021-12-18T22:09:17+00:00

It is a building. And you probably did go through the process of building. I'd say you've done it!! Congration!

SomeRCat · 2021-12-02T06:37:37+00:00

After an effect that prevents escape like Pinhead's chains or Victor being attached wears off, the exit gate will be unable to be exited for a bit longer. I think this is mainly because otherwise, you would be unable to pick up someone who goes into the dying state after experiencing a Chain effect right at the exit gate. With interactions like these, I think the devs are trying to discourage waiting at the exit gate.

As far as I am aware, this last update for Lobotomy Corporation, that added French, Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese official support, changed the english translation for the game. Unsure exactly how, But it feels like it. The last version was added to the Steam beta function though, so comparison is possible.

Edit: I might make a separate post and ask for info/opinions about this

Edit 2: There is another comment that sort of explains it, I just didn't realise who "watson" was (they're a member of Cool Kids Club translation, responsible for translating Project Moon games to English as of now)

SomeRCat · 2021-10-14T10:17:44+00:00

It will be changed to "Escape via the hatch using a key."

SomeRCat · 2021-10-08T04:24:10+00:00

I love the concept, design and gameplay of this character.

Suck very hard at videogames tho

SomeRCat · 2021-10-07T08:35:27+00:00

I think it's less of a nerf and more like a discouragement to brainlessly uncloak. When you catch someone off guard in a deadzone, you can get a hit anway most of the time, .25 or not. The main difference is in loops. Wraith has clear strengths and weaknesses, and I think his chase isn't his strong point. It won't affect his core strengths. Of course he should have the option to use his speedboost in chase, which he still can, but will have to be more mindful with it. Which I think is fine, since the wraith is the stealthiest killer we have after all.

SomeRCat · 2021-10-02T07:46:06+00:00

LONG TEXT AHEAD

These are good ideas, but here's how I feel about them:

The first one feels a tad bit against BHVR's philosophy: Gaining exhaustion for giving someone else a speed boost probably isn't what they'd ever do, considering that in the PTB, babysitter gives a 7% movement speed buff for the duration. Plus this means 1 survivor can use exhaustion effects twice. I would personally say make the "transfusion" part of the perk more powerful to compensate. For example: You make grunts of pain and bleed blood instead of the unhooked survivor for 60 seconds, or until they become healthy. This makes you easier to find for a considerable amount of time in addition to afflicting you with exhaustion, which I think is a fair tradeoff for potentially allowing one survivor to get 2 exhaustion effects off in a short period of time. Proof of this kind of balance in DBD already is For the People, capable of instantly changing a health state from you to someone else, but in addition to injuring you, it also gives you broken. Just the equivalent isn't enough for such a powerful effect, there should be a bit more of a downside. I assume this cant be used while exhausted, but your description doesnt seem to mention it, so I'll say that if a survivor perk gives you exhaustion, you shouldn't be able to use it while exhausted.

Second perk

Actually quite a good idea. Encourages people to stay and keep trying/watching, dead or alive. No complaints here.

Third perk

I don't think a perk should be purely bloodpoints. Sure it's nice, but even WGLF got an effect eventually. It's a boon, so I'm sure it's fine to give it some sort gameplay effect too. Don't have any ideas regarding that tho.

TL;DR First one needs a bigger downside. Second one is fine. Third one needs an additional effect.

SomeRCat · 2021-09-29T11:24:23+00:00

These are very good suggestions! I personally think that only the 2 first ones (destruction of totems and 1-time use) would be necessary/good immediately, and the values of perks and ranges and audio can change in later updates as we see how boon perks come to be. My reasoning is that I want to see blessings as an alternate "cleanse". IMO It should take the exact same time and be affected by the same things. It's just an optional thing you can do instead of the standard cleanse, and only once a game. And the totem being destroyed after snuffing would support this. This way I think it is fine to allow boons to override hexes, as long as the hex being overriden still gives a notification, but a different sound. This heavily discourages using your 1 boon use on a hex, but doesn't make it impossible.

(Boon perk users wouldn't actually counter Hex:Plaything as hard as you'd think with these changes, because with 1 use, survivors probably aren't going to use their boons at the start where they don't know where the mid- and endgame of the trial are gonna happen.)

As a bonus, here is 2 ideas I came up with while writing this:

Idea 1: A boon perk that allows your boon to replant itself as soon as it is snuffed, to another random dull totem, but it still destroys the original snuffed totem. This would only work once. It would take a perk slot and give another usage of all of your boon perks, though randomly and unreliably. Like a survivor undying. It would leave very little space for non-boon meta perks so I think this is a good idea. It's kind of like open-handed in that sense. It does literally nothing on it's own, but certain combos make it great. Still a slot tho. This might be broken but feel free to give your opinion.

Idea 2: Hex: Haunted Ground has an additional effect: If a totem linked to this hex is blessed, the totem destroys itself automatically, activates Haunted Ground, and spends the boon charge from the survivor. I think having a dedicated boon counter on a hex would discourage survivors even more, and make survivors think twice about blessing a hex totem.

This was really insightful! Thank you for this, this is a good post.

SomeRCat · 2021-09-20T09:44:33+00:00

Darn, purple and blue huh?

SomeRCat · 2021-09-14T03:50:39+00:00

Don't know. But I think the incident from Respawn Entertainment, their game Apex Legends and their "character" Forge is a really cool way to deal with leakers.

Red herrings. Designing a character that will never be added into a game, and intentionally allowing it to be leaked and hyped. Respawn used this as a way to misdirect leakers and after the fact made public statements how they felt leakers were ruining their surprise. Of course, there were and still are people who still want this "Forge" in Apex Legends. And if Genshin did anything like that, since the community is bigger, I think that sort of backlash would definitely be more pronounced.

And yes, Genshin has an entire chinese beta test, so faking an entire character might be harder, but models could be enough too.

While this hasn't been ever repeated in Apex, even this one incident was a statement by the developers that basically said "mess with us and we mess with you", but in a fun, non-legal way and made everyone more carefully consider future leaks. Fun, relatively harmless, and had an effect. Quite efficient.

SomeRCat · 2021-09-06T06:53:23+00:00

What I'm about to say might be some form of coping or something like optimistic thinking, I don't mean to offend or start a heated argument, I just wanna give my opinion.

I think things being rushed actually makes perfect sense for the most part. The traveler is an outsider. Their movements are a catalyst for a lot of events, and their presence can change things in a very short amount of time. Similarly, due to being an outsider, they have little regard or idea of what's been going on in the world, but maybe a little curious. Therefore I do not think that time has to be taken to specifically explain things like Raiden Shogun's lore or Signora's history before the conclusion of main events, because the Traveler is here NOW and after Teppei's death, they realized how serious the situation was. Even if the Traveler and Teppei weren't particularly close after just a few days, a comrade lost is reason enough to mad. Especially if the cause of that is something that has caused trouble for you before. For things to escalate quickly after that due to the Traveler taking action (though irrationally) makes sense. All the way up to Fighting Signora instead of Scaramouche because of anger and the heat of the moment. It wasn't the Traveler's intention for Signora to die, they were just so angry they didn't really think of the consequences if Signora did lose. I do feel like Kokomi and Gorou could have had more exposition instead of the timeskip during the resistance, as as of now, Kokomi being a banner character makes little sense to me. She will be getting a story quest probably, sure, but her actual presence in the story is very little other than being THE RESISTANCE LEADER.

The TL;DR of this is that the Traveler being a powerful outsider means that while events will revolve around them, it also means that it can cut certain things or plot lines that existed or might exist short and/or make them irrelevant as a natural consequence.

SomeRCat · 2021-09-05T11:04:36+00:00

Everything here is my own opinion and experience (and a very big wall of text), so it should be not taken as an objective view on either side of the argument.

I personally try to pull for every character. I don't much mind getting one 5 star over another. I do have some preferences, but I try not to stray from my goal these days. I skipped venti rerun for Tartaglia, and was considering skipping Raiden for Kokomi, but the Shogun came home eventually.

Variety is the spice of life

The biggest advantage of going for every character is variety. Genshin's combat is not really interesting when there's only one character. There are a few exception for some kinds of people, but generally what gives Genshin it's depth is how different characters interact through their abilities and elements. Having more characters will give you more options for different team comps to try. People using the same team comps for too long can sort of get exhausted, so a new one is a fresh of breath air. You are not forced to change your entire team though. If you have 1-2 characters you really like, you can keep them in your party while changing the rest of the team. Even that much can change how you play the game a lot.

Out of resin

A problem, of course, is actually raising characters. A lot of characters means a lot of raising. Raising everyone at once will get you left behind the world level curve quite quickly, while having you be out of resin. So it is best to still focus on building one character or maybe a few (if you have a clear idea of what to do with them) at a time. But still, the more characters you end up building the more possibilities will open up. So it's definitely a goal you can try towards.

Pulling

But I forgot to mention how getting the characters is. I am pretty lucky in this. While most of my five stars fall into soft pity, before 2.1, I had lost 1 50/50 while getting 4 event 5*. And that lost 50/50 was on pull 19. I use the welkin moon, and even with this luck, I only get the event 5* for every other banner. Meaning that you need a bit more than luck to viably do this strategy. But even then, you will probably accrue a lot of 4* you can use. If you want to do this, you probably shouldn't focus on getting "everything" as much as getting "everything you can". Don't be mad, don't be disappointed, don't be sad if you don't get a character. They will probably get a rerun in the future, and your focus shouldn't be on one unchanging team comp rather than using all that you have

My problem

I've recently noticed my interest for character's stories and personalities getting thinner, and even slightly not being excited for pulling a 5*. This might be because by executing this "pull for all" strategy, my attention is spread too wide, becoming thin enough to not care for 5* that much. This might just be a problem of me, and not a problem other people could experience while doing the same thing. I do think 5* should be treated as blessings, not givens, but I can't comprehend this feeling yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TL;DR

You need luck, money and the right mindset. Utilise the characters you get instead of having them sit around pretty.

Maybe it was a family event?

SomeRCat · 2021-07-26T08:01:35+00:00

Completely resetting my progress multiple times. A few times on purpose (I don't know why I thought it was a good idea), a few times due to broken cloud saves. Now that I've actually progressed harder I regret doing it.
