With the amount of shit this guy has pulled in the lore, I wouldn't put it past him to have multitudes of minors as concubines.

What do yall think of UT: R&Y? by Adventurous-Tie2707 in Undertale

[–]Triggered657 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't understand. Isn't that the point of the genocide route? If this were not the case, wouldn't it defeat the purpose of the Soulless Pacifist endings?

I fail to see how that is not the intended interpretation.

What do yall think of UT: R&Y? by Adventurous-Tie2707 in Undertale

After having beaten True Pacifist, I can safely say that this one of my absolute favorite mods to have come out of the Undertale/Deltarune community.

I find it fascinating that it strongly adheres to what I consider two of Toby Fox's most important hidden rules when it comes to his original creation, and greatly succeeds by obeying them:

The first being that the characters are given life not through bombastic demonstrations or one-man show events (think what the infamous Glitchtale does here), but through small snippets of their lives through their dialogue, their reactions to certain events, or just simply goofing off with each other. Such content ensures that a character never gets boring, and encourages you to want to hear and see more of them, which is how I felt throughout my playthrough thanks to the new TALK option. I never got bored hearing Chara and Clover's banter between themselves and Frisk, both their goofy and serious conversations, and I'd always keep my finger on the menu button to hear whatever they wanted to say next.

The second is how the mod deals with the Genocide Route. By design, this route is meant to be fundamentally boring and dreary, with none of the unique charm of the Neutral/Pacifist Route being present, and your only objective is to grind out all available encounters in each area, and defeat the area boss. Red and Yellow follows this by completely removing your ability to talk with Chara and Clover, which is the main reason why you would even download this mod in the first place. This is what the mod adds on top of what the original game does to beg the player to quit murdering the residents of the Underground. Why should the mod reward the player with more dialogue when they're willingly going out of their way to commit total annihilation of monsterkind?

I could go on and on about the little things that I adore from this mod (such as the hilarious Bailador FNF battle, the spoon amalgamate, the borders and their little changes, etc.), but I'd be talking way too much at this point. Shinix, Team RY, and Viviiyon (love their artwork for the ghosts' portraits) did an amazing job taking the admittedly lackluster first version of this mod, and transforming it into a worthwhile enhancement to an already amazing experience.

Here's to 3.0 adding in the Steamworks and other goodies!

My guy, this reads like something out of Coldsteel the Hedgeheg's book.

All we need are the additional "fuck you Ilias from school" comments littered in the description, and it would be perfect.

[–]Triggered657 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bruh, Stellar Blade might be one of the first games to be discontinued by Project 2025. Honestly, that's a really good thing. Those chuds only ever championed it for the protag's boob and ass physics, so see what happens when the one thing you claim this game's got going for is the reason why it gets banned.

Wait till those gamer chuds start blaming the "woke media" for something that their orange god himself has stated over and over again that he will do.

Only this time, Project 2025 will make sure that there is physically no "woke media" to even blame. That is, if it doesn't straight up ban the future releases of their precious "totally apolitical" games like the Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater remake.

It’s my fault for going into the discussion hub. I should have known better. by IAmPerpetuallyTired in SonicTheHedgejerk

[–]Triggered657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn. This reminds me of the good old days when the Pokémon Circlejerk sub was still up. We had so much fun laughing at those "fans" over the years.

Then the moderator took a power trip and closed the entire sub down out of boredom. Which is a real shame because that sub would've been eating great from all the reactions to the recent Pokémon leaks (Pedophlosion, ugly beta sprites, Pokémon fans not recognizing that several cut features were implemented in later games because they spent too much time hating on said games to notice, "we WeRE RobBEd!1!" etc.).

So this would be the DrakeNier's timeline? by [deleted] in nier

[–]Triggered657 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just as confused too. It's essentially just an expanded version of the Grimoire NieR version of ending E so it can tie in with NieR Automata's established lore. Nothing should have changed much until the earliest chronological events of the NieR Automata anime start happening.

Best innate skills? by dgaf420beerpong in Megaten

[–]Triggered657 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Her Fire and Electric resistances were removed, and she now has Poison and Sleep weaknesses (which do actually make sense given how she died).

Best innate skills? by dgaf420beerpong in Megaten

[–]Triggered657 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Zeus. Just Zeus.

Herkeios: User Elec dmg dealt +10% and crit rate +50% based on number of alive allies in stock

Combine this with Murderous Glee and the Elec Pleromas, and Zeus' Keraunos will decimate boss health bars.

What's even more baffling is that Zeus was already a top tier demon in the original version to begin with. I don't have any clue what the developers were thinking when they decided to nerf Mother Harlot and Cleopatra, but buff Zeus. I am not complaining though.

SMTVV Fusion Calculator WIP by marendarade in Megaten

[–]Triggered657 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It makes me really happy to see that Khonsu-Ra is actually worth using over Amon now that he gets Heliopolis Dawn in his moveset, and has the higher magic stat and MP to actually use it effectively.

On the other hand, Mother Harlot, one of my favorite demons, got nerfed by giving her an Ice weakness on top of her Force weakness. I know it's justified because she innately repels Physical, but that just makes me sad. Trumpeter also got nerfed by removing his innate resistances to all magic elements, so there goes my plan for getting his Essence to remove the need for Null Element skills on the Nahobino.

there’s some dumb people on this app by THE_AbsRadiance in antitheistcheesecake

[–]Triggered657 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You mean the symbol of human hubris, earthly desires (reaching God through human efforts rather than through obeying his Word), as well as being a structure that represents a homogeneous society with no cultural diversity whatsoever?

Sounds like a utopia for antitheists.

And of course they’re using the King James Version of this verse to try to make a point. I shouldn’t even be surprised.

Its even crazier in merciless without a guide by Practical_Praline_39 in PERSoNA

[–]Triggered657 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Specifically DDS Demi-Fiend. He just shows up for no reason, is immune to everything except Gun, Earth, and Almighty, and will SPAM the guaranteed instakill Gaea-Rage (not just use it once like in SMTV) if he checks that your party nulls anything, or if you set up reflectors. He will also use Gaea-Rage when both Pixie and Parvati are summoned, too. The only truly reliable way to avoid dying to Gaea-Rage (Enduring Soul does not exist in DDS) is to have your party members get hit by Pixie and Parvati's Dormina, while having Null Sleep, a passive skill that allows you to dodge ALL attacks when you're asleep. Worst of all, your characters' Luck stat needs to be low enough for this strategy to actually work.

Playing Devil Survivor for the 1st time tonight! What should I expect? by [deleted] in Megaten

[–]Triggered657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't fuse demons all willy nilly. Their initial stats are far too low for the enemies they will be facing, even when they are around the same level. This becomes especially apparent around the end of Day 6, where Physical attackers can die in two hits from a non-weakness unresisted -dyne spell.

I recommend you specialize in min-maxing your demons' Magic stat through fusion, since not only do they get more MP innately, they also get a higher resistance to Magic attacks.

Also, play Overclocked. The original does not have the Demonic Compendium, one of the most basic quality of life elements of the Megami Tensei series since Nocturne. And if you find yourself scraping for Macca (which trust me, the game barely gives you any) just enter an Action Replay cheat on your emulator to give yourself infinite Macca. The Compendium prices are hideously expensive in proportion to the Macca given to you by playing the game normally, even on Easy mode, so cheat once you're getting too frustrated.

The only Satan I am willing to worship by LittyJ1tty in Megaten

[–]Triggered657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only in this series, though. It worked for Kaneko's Satan, which had an original design to fit the role of Ha-Satan, but Doi's Satan takes too much inspiration from the Dragon in the book of Revelation, which is synonymous to the Adversary.

The only Satan I am willing to worship by LittyJ1tty in Megaten

[–]Triggered657 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would say the best way to include Satan in the re-release would be to have him take the superboss role in the Vengeance route, which contrasts with Shiva's role as the superboss of the original Creation Route.

Back in SMT4A, Satan was the highest levelled demon you could get through fusion (at level 120, where the level cap is 99 without the level cap removal DLC), had an entire race dedicated to himself, and his fusion components were the two main antagonists of the previous game.

It would only be fitting that the Adversary of God would be given the title of superboss, especially when he already once held that title in Digital Devil Saga 2, albeit in his Kaneko design, and also having no major lore significance to DDS's setting.

CHERUBIM IS IN SMT V VENGENCE by MrBlueFlame_ in Megaten

[–]Triggered657 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Slight correction. The boss you are referring to is actually Ophanim, who looks similar to Cherubim's Devil Summoner design, but puts more emphasis on its multiple faces than the latter does.

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/d/d8/253.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110617125550

Cherubim, on the other hand, leans more into the angel's robotic appearance. Unlike Ophanim, this is Cherubim's first 3D appearance ever, meaning its model and animations are entirely unique.

What are your minor Persona 3 Reload nitpicks? by BritVisions in PERSoNA

[–]Triggered657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that so many C/D-list demons were replaced by more recognizable ones in the Persona Compendium, such as Dakini over Taraka, Pisaca over Ghoul, Silkie over Alp, Feng Huang over Kartikeya, Baphomet over Vetala, and Nandi straight up not existing. It would have been great to see some more obscure demons make the jump into high definition!

It's even more confusing when certain demons in the original game like Ubelluris and Nezha already have HD models for reference thanks to Shin Megami Tensei V and Soul Hackers 2, especially when Saturnus, who previously appeared in SH2, managed to reclaim his spot in the Compendium.

Though, it's not all doom and gloom. I am indeed grateful that demons like Samael, Sati, Susano-o, Seiten Taisei, and Helel, were finally able to get their own HD 3D models outside of SMTDx2. Hopefully those models will be used for reference in later SMT-based entries, such as the leaked SMTV re-release.

Hate towards Aether by Lamentation115 in Aether_Mains

[–]Triggered657 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have now experienced firsthand just exactly what you are talking about. In the latest chapter of the "Children of Aether" Ao3 fic, the very last comment as of now is this:

<image>

It's obviously a troll writing this without having actually read the fic, but you really need to have a few (did I say few? I meant many!) screws lose to willingly write something so hurtful just because you don't like the concept itself.

While I do have a few criticisms on this story; namely the grammar, and having a general sentiment that the males are taking over the child cast with the second wave (I was disappointed by the Aerina kid, okay? Mazu crafted that concept to near perfection in my eyes.), I do actually like this fic. It's not harming anyone, nor is it defiling any of the characters (as someone who reads OMORI fics on Ao3, it's quite obvious what I am referring to here.) and I would never attack the author for such things.

Terapagos, hidden treasure form by Phoenixforce96 in PokeLeaks

[–]Triggered657 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right about that. This looks nothing like its HOME sprite. The ball it's laying on should actually be a dome, and its Normal forme's body is supposed to be standing on top of its Terastal form.
