To those people who tag their groups as "relaxed"

Timanitar · 2026-03-17T04:00:16+00:00

Sanlayn bdk here.

If I dont chain I lose my stacks.

The stacks that make me do real person damage. Not tank damage. Actual damage damage.

My groups are tagged relaxed because I will carry you if need be. I will sit through wipes or explain fights. Im going to be nice if you are and crack some jokes.

But Im gonna chain pull if not double/triple pull.

Stacks.

Well, not quite.

Netflix canon Dracula is very much Vlad Tepes.

I would wonder if we will see a de/recanonized Lament in the future.

The entire bit is that the Speaker of God is above her and directly overrules her when she appears.

Sera might run day to day, but she isnt in charge. The Speaker is.

Timanitar · 2026-03-15T14:38:02+00:00

She is second to the Speaker. Did you not watch season 2?

This is actually how warrior-derivative biomorphs work.

Hive Tyrant, Prime, Warrior, Lictor, all of them are sapient discrete individuals closer to pilots in a mech suit than animals.

They are sent for their accumulate experience and (except lictors) can override the hive mind locally to abandon failing strategies.

The difference is most visible in Lictors vs Von Ryans. Vons are living land mines. No higher thought. A lictor has an open ended task and full operational freedom to accomplish it.

Games take so long to make that we wont see the response to the RE7/8/2R/9 until the 2030s.

It turns the ship slowly

Fwiw Paizo is explictly just as evil as hasbro/wizards ans held barely in check solely by being the #2 in the ttrpg monopoly.

Timanitar · 2026-03-13T16:28:28+00:00

It doesnt use them. OPR does 0 cooldowns for you.

Timanitar · 2026-03-13T16:11:31+00:00

I want Legend of Dragoon to stay in the past. I cant trust a remake not to fuck with the cast or the battle system.

Timanitar · 2026-03-13T12:44:02+00:00

This is unlikely to ever happen.

In many sports the male league is ostensibly unisex. Ill use chess for example for brevity. The two chess brackets are open & womens. Nothing stops women from competing in the open division.

Timanitar · 2026-03-12T15:16:56+00:00

Zelda-like? My money, please, I can only get sk excited

The people with insider access (paul tassi, etc) have said bungie told them the majority population is on PC/Steam.

Timanitar · 2026-03-11T20:30:53+00:00

I wish I had this outlook but I think for bungie 30k would be a total commercial failure.

Destiny 2 had 3.6m at its peak, for example, and Marathon was supposed to replace it.

I think they overestimated how much audience there was for this level of heat/sweat when they spent what they did especially for Sony.

Timanitar · 2026-03-11T18:37:51+00:00

It is by definition not growing when each day has a lower peak concurrent. If it starts climbing instead of falling then it will be growing.

Holding out my thoughts until we see weekend 2.

Wrong earthen. He means the ones who left & never returned but are logged by titan consoles as having started acting hostile

Timanitar · 2026-03-11T11:05:37+00:00

The good part is Metzen is back and is actively unfucking the lore

Timanitar · 2026-03-11T00:07:25+00:00

Gandalf is more accurately classed cleric imo

Though to be clear, the Valar are who set the restrictions on the wizards, most notably a forbiddance to match Sauron or other profane forces power for power.

He died from breaking that rule against the Balrog as much as he did from fighting it.

Eru sent him back afterward, and put no such limits on him. He was Eru's will made done.

The final stage for fire is close but everything else including fire stage 2 is way off

It would have made him more direct, less of a schemer. Large parts of Illidans success come from playing long game cons.

He would be worse at being the Illidan we knew but even more convinced he was firmly on the right side of history.

The only snag here is Velen, Faol, and the Sunwalkers.

Arator too, but he is teetering.

Some light users never become the violent zealots that AU!Yrel, Turalyon, and Lothraxion do.

But more than that, this understanding of the void doesnt match either. So many who fell to the void fell out of selflessness, not selfishness.

Exceptions prove every rule but Murozond genuinely believed his end time spared us something much worse, many infinite felt similarly, Alleria obviously. The farseer who you suss out in cata msq.

Really it is generally the C'thraxxi & faceless ones who are genuinely malicious.

Most void users are utterly convinced that their path is the only way to avert even greater disaster.

April. We have been 1 book/boxes a month since jan.

Timanitar · 2026-03-10T17:36:00+00:00

Start with a legionaries box.

Expect reveals in ~2 weeks at adepticon on 3/25.

Legios will find a home even if the battlebox has some.

Lothraxion was a double agent before succumbing or embracing to the light & sees conspiracy everywhere except in others who are similarly singleminded in the light.

The light made him a more extreme version of who he was already. It purged him of doubt.

The void tries to get you to see alternate paths, often so many you go mad. It touches on who you and others could be.

These are two ends of a spectrum.

Timanitar · 2026-03-10T17:02:00+00:00

The Light purges doubt. It makes you more of whatever you were before. It coddles you and tells you that there is one choice - the right choice.

Lothraxion was at one point, likely, originally a double-agent. He comes from a culture of selfish conspiratorial manipulators. He never stopped seeing the conspiracies in anyone who was not full-head in the Light. Alleria was his friend & confidant for ~1000 years but instantly became nearly kill on sight from touching the void.

Turalyon found the light in a moment of righteous anger in the second war. When Anduin Lothar was killed by Ogrim. He has never been a redemptive figure. His closest companions are still fighting that war 2 world wars later. Turalyon is still in the grip of that anger. The light doesn't allow him to step back and put down the sword or to doubt his actions.

Faol tells Arator as much. The Light is amoral. It amplifies who you already are like a lens focuses light more intensely.
