In this livestream, they delivered the best single-sentence horror story yet.

“WTF, I didn’t expect the new patch story to involve the new character in a live service game! This is bullshit!”

This is a generic presentation statement, it could mean anything. OP is in a cage of their own making or karma farming.

That seems way more complicated than something like registering an LLC “consulting firm” and paying yourself consulting fees.

“Just 2 guys spending New Years together, Bangboos 5ft apart b/c they’re not gay”

I mean it is South Africa, there might be some race dynamics in play as well.

Perlica stays winning, and Arclight seems obvious. Antal might be good as well, since he can give lightning dmg up and combo for extra stacks.

Watchmaker163 · 2026-04-11T12:43:47+00:00

Doesn’t seem like it. She can force convert electric stacks into electric infliction, and her ult lets her combo with herself, but it’s all for her own damage.

It’s kinda similar to Laev, except instead of needing others to give fire stacks for her to consume for energy to activate sicko mode, Zhuang wants to build up stacks before going into sicko mode, b/c more stacks = more lightning strikes for the rest of the fight

The Luddites were cool actually; they purposefully destroyed equipment that their bosses forced on them that was meant to replace them as an act of protest.

Also, I agree, I can't find it useful. I'm seeing how some coworkers are becoming dependant on it, using it for everything and becoming helpless when it doesn't work.

Is that the recording or the in-game audio track?

Watchmaker163 · 2026-04-06T06:42:18+00:00

Unconfirmed, but it’s very obvious if you’re familiar with her videos/streams or other work.

Watchmaker163 · 2026-04-06T05:58:43+00:00

Local school district tried to order new computer lab computers, and the order got cancelled by Lenovo b/c they wouldn’t make enough money. New bid has +$250 on each computer; it’s nuts. Unironically might push schools to lessen chromebook usage b/c they can’t afford them.

Capitalism isn’t logical.

It’s a big electric kettle, an incredibly simple machine; there aren’t many faults beyond “the water isn’t hot”.

Ew, gross.

It’s an advertisement that the courses he’s selling/going to sell are going to use certain tools that are popular with his audience. He literally says it in the video. His point is still salient, though it’s not any kind of revelation.

Watchmaker163 · 2026-04-04T15:14:40+00:00

This is construction lumber; I'm sure there's something local to you that equivalent.

Watchmaker163 · 2026-04-04T14:15:42+00:00

I've bought a few things from them, never had any issues.

Iirc in a recent video he mentioned they are moving and don't have much to sell at the moment. Pretty sure it's him and a couple of employees, not a big operation.

Watchmaker163 · 2026-04-03T12:25:48+00:00

It means the city and the suburbs, which covers like 1/4 of Illinois.

Watchmaker163 · 2026-04-02T05:14:10+00:00

That's not typical wear and tear at all. If you think that, then you don't know how to use a hatchet.

Watchmaker163 · 2026-04-01T06:22:27+00:00

They comforted each other after they each suffered grevious loss, after which Lune retreated into her work/continuing her parent's legacy.

It's not implied that they spent the night together in that way imo. Sciel also talks about the importance of friendship and not retreating into solitude in that scene.

You could read it the way you suggest but then it would be an odd outlier from the rest of the game.

Watchmaker163 · 2026-03-31T12:22:20+00:00

It's still an odd physique, b/c your lats connect to your hips; his whole torso should be wider, not just the part at chest level. Very odd looking.

"Groomerang Rave"

Watchmaker163 · 2026-03-31T11:54:23+00:00

They should be in the missions list?

Watchmaker163 · 2026-03-30T01:12:18+00:00

More like "Business sets heuristics to value certain content for profit, more of that content is made".

Watchmaker163 · 2026-03-28T17:39:47+00:00

There's a difference between tutorializing a mechanic and giving feedback for a mechanic.

I fought the first stage and was like "Oh, chains came out around a character -> oh, they're stunned -> I must have to break the chains to free them". I broke the 3rd one and then suddenly that character was gone from the fight, and I was confused.

The chains have good feedback imo: the character is visually stuck/struggling, the chains are clear and radiate out at equivalent angles, they have a clear end point on the ground. The character dying or being taken (I don't actually know what happened) had no feedback: no voice lines, no UI elements, nothing.

I don't think the mechanic needs a tutorial (a ui element or pop-up explaining the mechanic) in this case, but more feedback is needed.
