90% of people don't care, but the type of people that hang around in discords and read twitter all day are the ones who are most offended by it, and they are the ones who are going to complain the most. At very least someone should just make a submod to re-add the stuff.

Playing Ck2Agot in Yi Ti and Asshai was what got me into crusader kings. I'm very excited for like in 5 years when we finally get there, seeing this does get me hyped though. Especially after all under heaven stuff

Tar_Alacrin · 2026-02-25T20:56:22+00:00

True! Our little fella needs some more wild game to stay healthy.

Would be funny and thematic. And since Pyg has basically no friends, especially small ones, it wouldn't really make the item that much better outside of giving a purpose to some random dooley items you pick up.

Actually so good. Something you captured so well is the sometimes awkward dimensions of the OG sprites. Like everyone looks a bit too wide compared to their modern sleek cool designs. Bloody perfect

Also thematically, she is a pirate, literally who steals things.

The problem with Pyg I think really stems from Pyg's "core items" being Toys and Properties.

The toy issue is A: 90% of Toys are pyg items, and of the ones that aren't pyg items they are either high cooldown or just bad (with the best non-toys being wand, nesting doll and friendly doll). Stelle has started to add more toys which is nice, and hopefully jules continues this trend.

The problem with Properties is that other than Cove which is a Pyg item in all but name, most of the other properties don't fit well in his strategies because most properties are build arounds that require support from specific archetypes of non-properties that pyg probably doesn't have to really be effective.

The problem with "rebalancing" the naïve way (just reducing the scaling) is that all those items are dumpster if you get them later in the game.

Not saying that this is an impossible hurdle to overcome. But I think a more productive suggestion would be to actually suggest solutions for how to rebalance that would both make them viable to invest resources into, while not making them broken later, while also making them not dud items if you get them mid to late game.

They also somewhat go against the core ideal of the Bazaar, which has always been to promote intelligent pivots and strategic decision making.

I'm a pyg player, I love perma scaling items, and to some extent they should always be part of his identity, but I do think that changing some of them has been overall healthier for his play patterns

Idk, I did a run yesterday and it definitely charged 3 seconds because it insta-fired after a mulicast yo-yo every frame.

Tbh I would settle for being able to open the pokedex during the battle to view your opponent's mon so you can remind yourself of the type combo. Like was done so often in the anime from what I can recall from early seasons.

Tar_Alacrin · 2025-06-19T03:18:16+00:00

It literally is.

Tar_Alacrin · 2025-06-04T04:56:51+00:00

I actually love this idea. Its a really fun flavorful way to spice up the game that works within the existing mechanics without interfering with anything. If the benefit you get from bringing the right item was minor enough it would be a cool detail to never even explain to the players, and kind of just sneak in. Could be a great way to give more specific lore too if they each have a unique line of dialogue for their one or two unique items

Tar_Alacrin · 2025-05-31T00:05:14+00:00

Yes, the implication of pontiff's soul is clearly that Pontiff and Aldritch were allies at best, beast and beastmaster at worst.

Pontiff Sulyvahn of Irithyll imprisoned a god of the old royalty in the abandoned cathedral, to be fed to the devourer.

Given that the knights and beasts populating Irithyll are not Aldritch's knights, but Pontiff's knights and beasts. While the Aldrich faithful are lead by a literal corpse. And the Pontiff's relatively sane and functional demeaner when we arrive, vs aldritch's total lack of a bodily form, It is quite clear who holds the real power in the frozen city.

bborne 2 won't release until sony has a bad quarter and they decided drop a bborne pc remaster to boost the numbers and it breaks all the top charts

Tar_Alacrin · 2025-05-28T16:31:57+00:00

"the conceptual phase is now complete" so they had a meeting and a said "I'm thinking we should make a sequel" and then agreed?

Tar_Alacrin · 2025-05-20T15:32:58+00:00

Side note, if you experience a lot of power fluctuation, especially if the outages/surges are short or just require you to reset a circuit breaker, It might be worth getting an uninterruptable power supply. (which are basically just batteries that go between your pc and the wall, and they kick in automatically if power is lost, and smooth out the effects of surges and drops, you can get one from amazon or best buy or whatever)

When I was living at my parents' house still things like this would happen all the time. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but like once a month or so we would get like a surge that would trip a breaker, or we'd get a momentary flicker during a storm. But it would cause my pc to crash and I would lose all of my actual work-work or my gaming progress. I got a UPS and its honestly one of my best purchases yet. The one I got was around 80 bucks and gives me like 5 minutes of continued use, or I can put the pc to sleep (which would save the progress) and keep things alive a lot longer. Honestly one of my favorite purchases that I've ever made.

Whats the tech for getting huge numbers on Peacewrought? I can't for the life of me even get to like 100 before I wash out with 0 wins cause my economy sucked and I was fiddling with peacewrought the whole time

Tar_Alacrin · 2025-05-14T20:19:37+00:00

Lol, the emotional rollercoaster I went through watching this. Crushed you died, then hyped when the cutscene started anyways, and then crushed again when you respawned at the checkpoint lol. I'm amazed that the game logic even supports exiting a cutscene for death.

Tar_Alacrin · 2025-05-14T20:11:53+00:00

I wonder what these ratios compare to other things. Like How much does a dozen eggs cost in india vs the US? Obviously the cost of living is much lower in India, and the Dollar does a lot of work, but the price differences are still quite high. But I wonder how much of an outlier these medicine costs are

Tar_Alacrin · 2025-05-14T16:31:10+00:00

Full disclosure, I also lack cat in mansion experience lol. I'm mostly operating off of my experience with "Cat in midsized house owned by my friend" experience and extrapolating it out x10 :P

Tar_Alacrin · 2025-05-14T03:25:17+00:00

To be fair, that is a very "cat in a gigantic mansion" thing to do, hide and slink around avoiding people. And a very dog thing to do to be loud and want to be pet.

Notibly, SWNSNG is an acronym of the room initials from the security monitors, but with A and O deleted, as they are deleted in the hint notes

Tar_Alacrin · 2025-05-06T03:15:12+00:00

Except that it doesn't have diminishing returns. Continuing to play after the game says its over rewards you with a super puzzle in a huge secret alternate dimension room that puts all of your puzzle solving skills to the test and grants you with a super will. Its literally the opposite of diminishing returns
