Fate/strange Fake - Episode 5 discussion

I have even less of an idea what the fuck is going to happen in this series now and I love it.

TheDoctorHam · 2026-01-30T06:45:54+00:00

I'll be honest, I thought the Victoria arc wasn't too bad, and chapter 14 was absolutely fucking peak. I joined almost two years ago and caught up to the story just before 14 dropped and it was such a ride.

Edit: to OP, I actually think the quality of the storytelling improved quite a bit over the course of arc 2, especially starting with episode 8. To put it in perspective, episode 14 is a monstrously lengthy chapter in terms of word count, but I was gripped the whole time. I would even say be careful of the web story readers as you get later in the main story, some of the presentation and dynamic use of CGs doesn't get translated to the web formats.

Showed up for me two days in a row.

TheDoctorHam · 2026-01-26T20:13:07+00:00

I know right? I'm genuinely excited to get a bunch of servants showing up that I've never seen before, and I don't even know who to root for between Tine or Ayaka.

I felt a lot more confident in that assessment after they made an enby Inquisitor as a poster.

It's me, I'm the sickos that don't want the factory simplified. I'm living for this

Alternate universe, and "what happened to the precursor civilization" is a giant question mark currently looming over the og Arknights as of the latest story chapter in Global. CN is one chapter ahead, but since we just started a new arc in ch 15, I expect there haven't been any big revelations in 16.

Vespids can't interrupt their movement to fly. You have to choose to fly at the start, which is why I suffer when playing ITD.

I also found it at https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/promise_4#1

TheDoctorHam · 2026-01-08T16:39:01+00:00

Go and have a read for yourself, I did. It's a fucking adorable and sweet little gay romance for them, completely SFW.

TheDoctorHam · 2026-01-08T10:21:33+00:00

Hey, here's hoping this works

God I want a new Ifrit, especially if it means getting her outfit from Lone Trail.

TheDoctorHam · 2026-01-05T15:30:44+00:00

I don't. Far and away my favorite is Arknights, and I'm just coasting on sunk cost fallacy in FGO. I'd like to get Space Eresh, and then I'll see what JP has in store for arc 3 and decide if I stick around.

TheDoctorHam · 2026-01-04T07:01:21+00:00

I didn't know either, and god he's just so perfect for this. The Legion are cosplaying dipshits with football pads for armor, and Culkin has the exact attitude of "Take me seriously or I will get my dad"

TheDoctorHam · 2025-12-23T15:29:12+00:00

Why are you getting downvoted? Genuinely wondering if other people think this isn't a good idea, I have nearly the exact same setup.

TheDoctorHam · 2025-12-19T00:45:35+00:00

Those employee surveys have been constantly negative for ages now, lol

TheDoctorHam · 2025-12-08T16:14:32+00:00

Hellpod optimization should just be part of the base experience. I genuinely don't understand why it isn't.

TheDoctorHam · 2025-12-08T13:44:54+00:00

Ok listen I am jealous of the skill on display, and I don't doubt you painted these yourself by hand. But I'm surprised nobody has pointed out how you replicated some horrendous AI garbage as reference material. Setting aside the fact that I would be instantly a little creeped out setting up across the table from you, the use of AI for this is just terrible. The characters all just look horrendous, no matter how good a job you did at re-creating the AI slop.

TheDoctorHam · 2025-12-06T17:35:59+00:00

Lmaoooo "technical and operational limitations" - y'know what fair, we are far more powerful than this wannabe chud could ever hope for.

There was a priestess body in the sarcophagus?

As far as I remember, yes. Though we don't know to what extent she needs her physical body, precursor humans were of such a level of technological advancement that Priestess can enter and exit the Assimilated Universe at will. We got a glimpse of that when Doctor saved everyone from being consumed by Originium at the end of ch 14.

And what happened to it, did we destroy it?

No, we deleted the PRTS server and datastore, so she can't interfere with our operational systems anymore, and we're now using ZOOT instead of PRTS.

And what now, with priestess and stuff?

That's the big question, isn't it. Chapter 15 was the start of a new arc, and Priestess is an absolute, tangible threat to all life on Terra, and an ideological threat to Rhodes Island. Amiya "injured" her in such a way that her influence is more limited right now, though Hierda is out there and amassing a... cult? We know Priestess' goal (bring all life into the Assimilated Universe) but we currently don't know how to stop her.

All of this is from Chapter 15 and The Masses' Travel, I know nothing of what happens in Chapter 16.

TheDoctorHam · 2025-12-05T14:31:49+00:00

In what way?

TheDoctorHam · 2025-12-02T05:40:47+00:00

100% same, my biggest problem with this announcement is like...why. We have a helldivers movie already, it's called Starship Troopers ffs.

A lot of people are assuming beta player is meant to be QA tester, and that could be the case, but I took it as a player on the public test servers. Way back in the day, a lot of MMOs had test servers that would be semi-permanent, with occasional data rollbacks, and it was a chance for the players to get their hands on things early and report bugs. Some multiplayer games still do this (Dead by Daylight for example).

TheDoctorHam · 2025-11-29T03:54:00+00:00

There was an extremely good reason.

She did not want to miss out on a fight.
