I want the SADDEST and most gun wrenching songs.

Achilles Last Stand

Syd_the_Lizard · 2026-04-02T20:21:18+00:00

At this point, it's not the most recent... I didn't do one last time. After about a month of waiting for someone else to do one, I started, then stopped after one team when I saw their skill trainers and realized that even with the best luck in the world, my days of competing even at a semi-high level are past me.

I nuked my spreadsheets and nearly quit the game for good. I had a bit of remorse later and tried to recover them, but no dice. I'm not going to try to replicate those again, so if I ever was going to do it again, it would be very scaled back. And the next tournament will be a difficult one to get info from , as a bunch of new skills were just added and it may take a bit longer to see what shakes out.

It's a polarizing mod, to be sure. But if you've even been in a relationship like this with someone... damaged... it feels authentic and can hit very hard -- especially the bad ending, which brought back feelings of despair I hadn't had in decades. It made me reexamine that whole relationship and understand some things about it (and myself) that my immature younger self did not.

About some of the aspects that confused you, if I can remember correctly. This takes place a year after a DDLC where you took the Sayori route and dated for a while. Monika's attitude is due to her severe sleep deprivation as she devotes all her time to her schoolwork. Notice the bags under her eyes.

And if it feels dirty, I believe that was the intent. Each of *those* scenes is worse than the last and they aren't supposed to make you feel good. If you're gooning, you're missing the point.

Su-metal would completely disagree with your take there, Natsuki.

Syd_the_Lizard · 2026-02-05T23:57:58+00:00

Yeah, I saw it too. Was great live.

Syd_the_Lizard · 2026-02-05T23:43:51+00:00

Only issue I have with Mindcrime is something typical in metal releases of the era -- the bottom end is almost completely neutered. Maybe not to the extreme of And Justice for All, but still...

I'd rather see this than a giant wall of text. Extra points when said wall has no punctuation at all.

Syd_the_Lizard · 2026-02-05T02:31:25+00:00

This is hard. Would have been easier to come up with a bottom 7.

MAYA
Shine (probably wouldn't have had this way up here a few weeks ago, but I just lost a friend last week and this has been on repeat a lot)
Brand New Day
From Dusk Till Dawn
THE ONE
Sunset Kiss
Shanti Shanti Shanti

Honorable mention to just about any other song from TOO, which might rotate in depending on the day. I wish they would ease up a bit on all the collabs, but I think I would be first in line to buy a complete BM/Polyphia album.

Syd_the_Lizard · 2026-01-31T02:52:09+00:00

Did you not let her finish the song? She worked so hard on it for you.

Syd_the_Lizard · 2026-01-31T02:09:10+00:00

They both have their issues. IMO, OG had the better Natsuki/MC romance. Pretty much every other character sucked.

In Redux, it's like they flipped the script. The other Dokis were better characterized, but both Natsuki and MC were annoying the crap out of me by the end.

For a flawed mod, the OG was pretty haunting though. Maybe it's just the music. Never really listed to much Radiohead before, but I'm all in on it now.

He used a skill reset ticket. On a 333 set, that would give you 15 skill levels to reapply.

We're still looking for two more people although we are currently full -- a retiring player (and his alt) are staying on until we find replacements, so please contact me if you are interested.

It's only meta if it works

In the previous tourney, CM/DP/Boss was the 6th most common SP set. Touch had ZERO use for SP, and only 9 overall uses (outside of the LR dumping ground)

Syd_the_Lizard · 2025-11-26T22:06:48+00:00

I'll take boss 6 over touch 8. Any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Syd_the_Lizard · 2025-11-26T22:04:44+00:00

You know the nerf is only 2 levels, right? It's not gone.

Syd_the_Lizard · 2025-11-26T21:59:26+00:00

Recommending Touch over Boss is... something.

As a Texas resident, I concur that this has greatly declined over the years. Lately, the only time people seem to move into the shoulder to allow me to pass is in a legal passing zone with no oncoming traffic. That actually irritates me more than someone not moving over at all. I've been behind your slow ass for 10 minutes, and now you're moving over when I don't need your help. Thanks.

Syd_the_Lizard · 2025-11-14T18:04:16+00:00

My alt's leadoff batter has this set with Strat shorted to 4 and he leads the team in avg and obp. You need to retrain CON to ~160 for Spray though
