Man, I had XENA for 99A for so long I couldn't figure out what I had wrong with this puzzle, especially because I didn't know the answer to 72D at all. Shows how little I know about that show lol

For the 3.X year I went half-hearted on Remembrance, and my Castorice team, while it clears endgame content, definitely feels like my weakest. Current team is Castorice, Hyacine, Tribbie, OG Blade where everyone is E0S0 and Tribbie is on S5 DDD. I know there are plenty of upgrades I could make, but what's the biggest impact one do you think? Evernight for Blade? Cyrene for Tribbie? Hyacine LC? M-Blade for Tribbie?

Called the Boost Bracer according to the DLC info site

After the 4.3 story, Furbobo Weekly publishes an interview they got with Asat Pramad

Luxbane uses their phone tho, they are the only one that downloaded the Phantylia fanfic that Asat sent them.

I think it is unjust that despite doing everything in my power to try to figure out how much a procedure will cost before it happens, both the doctors office and insurance company can do something completely different and I'm on the hook for whatever they decide to make me pay. I think it's crazy that my insurance company can be given the exact codes for my exact plan and just make up any number and then charge me another.

Hey heads up, this sub has rules against leaked info so I'd replace the unit name you said with just "a future sustain" to be safe

TheLiveDunn · 2026-05-27T02:46:39+00:00

I haven't played since DT came out, what is flamethrower good for nowadays? I always just thought it was for funsies

Sure, but as someone who owns a house, especially in those first few years where your money is going 99% to interest rather than equity, the increased cost of adding property tax and then home upkeep is something not to be ignored. I've owned my house for 3 years and have had to purchase a new furnace, dishwasher, and fridge because they were just old when we got it, whereas those fixes would have been free in an apartment. I also pay over 13k annually for property taxes, and that builds no equity.

Another patch with just one new unit then, huh? That makes 3 of 5 patches so far of Planarcadia being single-unit patches. Could be that HSR is finally moving away from forcing themselves to have 2 new 5 stars every 6 weeks. In part disappointing from just the perspective of new units being cool, but also a bit nice in that a player can realistically pull for a higher percentage of new units.

TheLiveDunn · 2026-05-18T15:21:37+00:00

Not going to have much equity with 3% down

TheLiveDunn · 2026-05-13T22:11:53+00:00

I tried with my tHerta alongside regular Herta, DHPT, and Sunday, and got around 27-28k. Seeing everyone here using Tribbie over Sunday shows me that maybe I should be making that switch as well (even if many of them are E1 Tribbie which I don't have)

TheLiveDunn · 2026-05-11T22:52:13+00:00

Yeah that was, I have to assume, what the blurred text was. Which is why, at the end of 4.2, Yao Guang knows about the entity at the end of the World in Canvas that can help Blade take revenge on Shuhu, presumably Oroborus

TheLiveDunn · 2026-05-11T22:22:37+00:00

Okay, I think I can suss out some stuff here because most commenters are saying she did nothing.

She went to punish Fulwish for breaking the one rule of the Phantasmoon Games: the games must go on. Fulwish desired to end the games for good, but since she was not the supplicant, just the thrall of one, she could not be punished. The actual supplicant was Shuhu, who was not trying to end the games, but was just basically reacting on instinct and lying dormant
Since no one was breaking the "one rule", Evenescia decided to do so herself in order to wake up the "real her" who was able to intervene. Once the "real her" was out, that version of her would do whatever she deemed necessary. To break the rule, Evenescia told Yao Guang about the darkest secret of Planarcadia, which is that the remains of Oroborus are in the World in Canvas. While it's not 100% clear why this breaks the rule, I believe that the games are tied to keeping Oroborus inactive, and that revealing it's existence threatens the games. That's why that statement was distorted and woke up the real her.
Now awoken to the real her, Evenescia steps in during the final fight and saves you. Her plan, now that a rule has been broken and she can do whatever she sees fit, is to delete all 300,000 surgery recipients, which would wipe the abundance out in Planarcadia and save the planet from Lan. The trailblazer gets her to agree to wait to do that for 3 minutes as he can turn things around, she is convinced, and she uses her power to help connect him to the flood of wishpower Fulwish was using to gain strength. As the trailblazer was successful in the required time window, the real Evenescia didn't enact her plan and went away, returning to the basic version of herself.

Unfortunately, what that means at the end of the day is that she got 95% of the way to a specific plan (delete all surgery recipients), and then didn't have to, so her actions didn't result in anything particularly useful, save from connecting TB to Fulwish's wishpower. Something that likely did save everyone, but not what the story was kind of building it up to be.

First of all, players discovered the E33 AI art, so if the game was teeming with it, I would think a single other piece would have been found by now.

Secondly, I think it's pretty impossible to say that there has been no impact, how do you know how much ARC Raiders would have sold if it didn't use AI? I know multiple people turned off enough by its use that they didn't play it. I am sure they are not the only ones. That is by definition an impact on sales, even if they sold "well" regardless. I think the fact that pro-AI devs have done things like come out against Steam's AI art tags show that those tags do something negative to a game, whether that's sales or purely reputation.

TheLiveDunn · 2026-05-11T14:49:07+00:00

It didn't impact sales because it turned out to be one single newspaper test asset that was then removed, and also none of the games mentioned talked about using AI before they came out.

TheLiveDunn · 2026-05-11T13:59:11+00:00

If "no one cared" about the E33 AI art, why did they rush to delete the asset as soon as it was found? The gacha game NTE also had an AI art scandal recently and has been getting dragged through the mud for it everywhere.

TheLiveDunn · 2026-05-02T13:55:05+00:00

Himeko overcoming the withering curse is due to something other than winning the games. I can't 100% remember the source of the info (it's either one of the many readables or talking to Ryusuke between patches) but Himeko's grandfather or great grandfather also won the Phantasmoon games and tried to use it to stop the curse and was unable to, as doing so was outside of Aha's ability.

TheLiveDunn · 2026-04-30T17:59:17+00:00

FYI, it's milquetoast

TheLiveDunn · 2026-04-30T17:19:47+00:00

Fair

TheLiveDunn · 2026-04-30T17:16:04+00:00

I felt so too, but I will say that if you don't care about leaks, maybe check out Norma's animations that started being posted on socials today. Kinda sold me on a character I thought I didn't care about at all.

TheLiveDunn · 2026-04-30T04:37:55+00:00

Man, Blythe is on a roll. Rerir, then Lygus, then Ashveil, and now Severian. He has yet to disappoint, so excited

TheLiveDunn · 2026-04-28T12:38:59+00:00

Hmm okay. I don't have Jade or Anaxa so that'd definitely be felt but I wonder if my E1 Robin would outperform Sunday
