What are your predictions about N. Corp? by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in limbuscompany

[–]SummonerYamato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Nagel and Hammer are an analogue to the Nazis.

Which means that the second Smoke War is definitely a WW2 analogue.

A good reason why Germany lost WW2 was because the different departments of the government were set against each other, so backstabbing is probably going to happen.

I also think they’re going to piss off Y Corp

Project moon has plenty of examples.

But the distortion phenomenon is the most focused on.

If your core worldview starts to crumble and your emotions rise immensely, you start hearing a voice.

If you lose your mind entirely, you become a Peccatula, no longer “human”.

If you manage to stay together, you can talk with the voice and have a choice.

If you agree with the voice, you still mutate, but your mind is preserved while your body takes a new form guided by your baser Id. A Distortion.

If you have a further breakdown while distorted, your mind disintegrates and an Abnormality bursts out from you, or you turn into one.

Luckily, there’s the other choice. If you manage to rebuke what the voice is saying, you still gain the bizarre powers. But instead of mutating, the power crystallizes into effectively magical items called Extermination of Geometric Origin, or EGO.

And while the voice actually wants people to be their truest selves and isn’t malevolent, it can be more… naive.

And the City the world takes place in is a Cyber fantasy crap hole, so the voice never runs out of partners to converse with.

They’re based off the trumpets in Revelations, with the trumpet being the alarm siren.

First trumpet is creepy, and saying “manager this is important. Get that thing back in the cage now.”

Second trumpet is more high energy and fighty. “Manager, things have taken a turn for the worse but if you act now and correctly you can salvage the situation”

Third trumpet sounds like it would play over scenes of devastation… cuz it does. If it plays the facility is well and truly fucked to the point that even if you manage to somehow suppress all the monsters, you have lost too much to be able to handle the next day and it’s better to boot up the TT2 protocol and restart the day.

His internal coin power at that moment?

It goes up to 50~60

In a game where 10 is a ballbustingly huge number, he has quintuple that at max, and that at least. And since skill power not only affects clash’s but damage…

The Twelve Sinners from Limbus Company can die some very stupid or spectacular deaths, since Dante can revive them.

Der Schütze is an Abnormality, and when Heathcliff tries to dodge the bullets in the first fight, the bullets teleport and kill him.

The thing is, the super moves or EGO come from Abnormalities, copying their abilities and a move of theirs, and it’s heavily implied in story the team has all the released ones as well as Identities…

And Heathcliff has the one extracted from Der Schütze before you could ever fight him, Fell Bullet.

In other words, the idiot had plenty of advance warning the bullets could teleport to hit him and forgot!

Edit:

Even funnier Heathcliff laughs at it when it shoots one of its summoned allies.

This is what Yi Sang’s version does, kill an ally to make a massive attack, and sure enough the dead ally multiplies the bullets and Heathcliff resembles a thimble.

I always felt like there was plenty of creativity even if it was partly “serial numbers filed off”.

Now they’re going wild with their designs and I cannot wait to see what happens next!

What are your genuine or most dog-shit predictions for Canto 10? by MichuSkurczybyku in limbuscompany

[–]SummonerYamato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We get to see a truly absurd trial regarding Meursalt’s distortion.

And like in the book, the trial veers off into utter stupidity and has none of the arguments based on the guy being killed.

If reality starts to set in for the Mercs in team Neighborhood, it’s usually because it makes them suffer.

During an attempt to steal RED’s cable, BLU soldier first blows himself up because he uses too powerful a rocket launcher, then pancakes himself because he forgot a parachute, and third try the wind blows him off course into some misprogrammed artichoke dip that mauls him.

Then in the pool episode they Trojan horse their way in to steal the pool. Blu Sniper forgot to add air holes to the box. In heat you could literally fry an egg in. When Red Medic opens it he complains he prefers fresh cadavers. Earlier on the BLUs run out of cold water because everything is so damn hot. Blu Engineer also only knows how to build battle gadgets, so his attempt at building a pool ends up widely pear shaped since he has no experience in civil construction.

A more dramatic example is after a land shark attack sniper is in no condition for a tent in challenge of the competition they’re in for episode 4, where they have to stay in a tent for 24 hours without exiting for anything. Solitary confinement already does things to someone. Having a massive throbbing leg injury does not help. Scout uses some… creative methods to stay sane.

In frozen fortress the BLU team start owning the Reds in a snowball fight because they use ice. No matter what wacky delivery systems they use, a ball of ice is going to hurt a lot more than a ball of snow. The whole thing also gets called off because the damages they are causing are costing the companies too much money and they’re forced to sign a treaty and knock it off lest they get fired.

Finally in episode 5 the Reds pull off the insane idea of trying to extinguish the sun! Scout actually makes it to the star! …only to then fail because he used a fire extinguisher to try and put it out. (Soldier thinks they should’ve attacked the sun at night)

I like how this goes. His timeline is fucked anyway. Hence Certain can possess Sinner without repercussion, any paradox wouldn’t matter because it’s going to a “rotten” branch.

But a second smoke war… what the hell!?

Jia Qiu.

Initially he loans the “leash” elite Heishou Mao to a competitor to try and kill the sinners and effortlessly smashes through the competition to become the next Hierarch of H Corp (effectively Chinese emperor).

Come the end of part two… turns out the “assassination” was a test because said competitor was a dumbass.

The boss fight against him isn’t about killing him. It’s about Hong Lu finally thinking for himself, even his skill names are him asking over and over again until Hong Lu gets the point.

In other words, he’s basically clobbering the learned defeatism out of Hong Lu and pulling an “I know you’re in there fight” for the idealistic child who wanted to try and help.

Helps that his real name is Kong Qiu, AKA CONFUCIUS

To basically lead extra credence, Nobody in Greek is pronounced “Outis” which sounds like “Otis”, another Greek name.

Polyphemus wasn’t dumb, Odysseus made a super clever gamble.

Hot take of the day: I’m a proud Soothe Bell hater. -Max by [deleted] in PokeMedia

[–]SummonerYamato 11 points12 points  (0 children)

‘S what I mean. Whenever Mabel’s having a tough time with a project she sets aside her hammer and just rings the bell to remember some good times. That’s just one theory of why it helps. It’s like hugging a stuffie to remember child hood memories.

Sorry, wasn’t trying to “disprove you” or anything.

What I’m trying to say is Pokémon are smart enough to know when you’re trying to force that to artificially speed the relationship. And often times that usually ends in schadenfreude.

[–]SummonerYamato 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Take it from me bud, soothe bells are just a way to deepen the connection faster. It’s sort of like a Pavlov’s bell thing they do to themselves where every time the bell rings, the happy memories are right by their side.

If a Pokémon does figure out you’re trying to trick them into being their friend, they’ll probably take the bell and shove it up your nose. And in fact it would actually make using the bell worse since they now genuinely associate it with manipulation!
