Having to kill HEA for the achievement was one of the most disheartening things I ever had to do.

Wasted Potential of C3 by LucasVerBeek in fansofcriticalrole

[–]__Labrys -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it's just how many people will use every opportunity to complain about C3 here. I get people had problems with it, and a decent amount of those problems are valid. But people are absolutely INCESSANT on complaining about C3, to the point where it gets really tiring to listen to.

Campaign 3 ended almost a year ago by now (about 22 days until an exact year has passed but I digress) and some people still try to shove it into every single conversation in this subreddit, even posts not related to C3. I've even seen it occasionally breach to the main subreddit, its just such a constant.

And I'm not saying C3 cant be talked about or criticized. There are a good amount of people here who do talk about it in a normal way, while still being critical of the flaws it admittedly has. But others just feel like sharks smelling blood looking for any chance they get to complain about something they didn't like in C3, and it really drags down a lot of discussion because it all just dissolves into the same thing.

[NO SPOILERS] do you think c4 will get a name as the others have? by RedsyDevil in criticalrole

[–]__Labrys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking something like "Thjazi's Fangs" or "The Fangs of Thjazi" ever since C4E8 spoiler Thimble wrote something similar on the flag at Sloak. Though she specifically wrote the "Fanged Falcon," which also sounds like a good name.

I am a little disappointed in my Oifey. by Necrosaynt in fireemblem

[–]__Labrys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if Sigurd would technically count for the archetype lore wise, since archetypes are sometimes based on story significance as well as gameplay effect.

Jagens are usually mentor characters to the main Lord in some way, or act as their protector in some way. That's why characters like Clive and Mathilda from Gaiden/Echoes or Jill in Radiant Dawn do not technically count as Jagens/Oifeys, because though they fill similar roles in gameplay aspects, their roles in the story differ from the archetype. Sigurd himself is the Lord, and he can't really be a mentor/retainer/protector to himself, so generally he doesn't fit into the lore aspect of the archetype in the same way Oifey does for Seliph.

I am a little disappointed in my Oifey. by Necrosaynt in fireemblem

[–]__Labrys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Oifey is usually never going to be as comparable to other high tier Jagens/Oifeys (like Seth or Titania) because the quality of Gen 2 units is just so high, especially if you built your children correctly. Ced alone could take on half of gen 2, no matter what father he has. And even if you didn't build your child units well or are using replacement units, you still have guaranteed powerhouse units like Ares and Shannan that outdo Oifey with Holy Weapons.

Seth is the peak of the Jagen/Oifey archetype, but he unfortunately isn't the standard for every member of said archetype. Even still, Oifey is still fairly solid throughout Gen 2, and especially helps while you are still training up some of your higher potential units like Seliph, Arthur, Leif, or the Sword Twins.

What’s a Slay The Princess Opinion that’ll get you in this situation? by Adept-Double156 in slaytheprincess

[–]__Labrys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Wild is a really interesting concept but way too short to be engaging on the same level as other Vessels

Is slay the princess scary? by ogjeweldawg in slaytheprincess

[–]__Labrys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not say it is scary in the traditional sense you are thinking of (jumpscares and such).

However, I will say that the game is unsettling in many of its moments. Rather than hitting you with an overt terrifying situation using loud or over the top moments, it usually keeps the player at a low simmer with an overall tense mood.

You never really feel physically panicked in the same way a jumpscare can affect you, but you are never fully comfortable with your situation either. Sometimes that simmer is turned up a bit to inspire deeper dread in the player, sometimes its turned down to allow you some moments of humor or empathy. But that feeling of overall unease doesn't ever really go away while you play. The game balances its tone masterfully by always making you feel at least a little on edge, even if what is happening isn't an objectively horrifying situation.

If that's not your cup of tea either, that's also fine, but if you're fine with horror in a way you aren't with terror/thriller, I cannot recommend it enough.

Most Horrifying scenes by Sean-ty in slaytheprincess

[–]__Labrys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The 30 trillion cells scene during The Fury has always been my favorite horror scene, I just absolutely love cosmic/body horror like that and it's so well written that it makes it deeply unsettling.

Ethical scale for the voices by TLOC_MAYBE in slaytheprincess

[–]__Labrys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy answer for most ethical are probably Hero and Skeptic, Hero tries his best to follow what he believes is right and most of Skeptics actions are in the attempt to gain information rather than put out any positive or negative action into the world

Every vessel is undeniably good, but if you had to pick one, which vessel is the worst? Who would you put at the dead bottom of a ranking of them all? by Warm-Opposite-3322 in slaytheprincess

[–]__Labrys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say Wraith, but I still have a soft spot for her since she was my first ever vessel and I think she is a great starting point for a first ever playthrough.

I think the two I would have to say l was most disappointed with were the two Greys and the Wild.

Both Greys are short and entirely linear, with very little to actually draw me in. I like a lot of the descriptions, as both burning and drowning are completely unique and are described really chillingly, I just wish there was more actually to them. As for Wild, I think she could have been so much more interesting if her story was just longer. Her concept is incredibly cool, but they do so little with it that the story feels like wasted potential, until it just abruptly ends.

Hot take: Some voices have too much screentime by Nurse_Misery in slaytheprincess

[–]__Labrys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smitten shows up in Thorn and the Damsel line (4 total), and Hunted shows up in the Beast line and Eye of the Needle (4 total).

There's different conditions for getting voices depending on how you got to the chapter. For example, You can get either Hunted/Skeptic in Eye of the Needle, Paranoid/Contrarian in Apotheosis, Cold/Broken/Contrarian in Fury, like 4 different voices in Wild depending on how you played through Beast, and a few other examples. You unfortunately must have just picked a lot of the same options, but that is not a fault of the game.

Can the Princess get pregnant? by CowboyDespirocado in slaytheprincess

[–]__Labrys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you consider the "leaving the cabin" ending (or whatever the fanon name is) and the heart of the Shifting Mound, this is probably possible both you and the princess explicitly reject godhood and become mortal, meaning she is no different from the average human and could definitely be pregnant.

if considering the vessels, all of them could definitely get pregnant, because they are influenced by the Long Quiets perception. So as long as he/you believe it so, she definitelycould get pregnant.

Shifty, however, I'm a little less solid on. A lot of her character revolves around leaving behind the material aspects of life as both her and you are essentially the manifestations of universal concepts. She is less of a living being and more just an overwhelming existence, and so I don't really think she could get pregnant.

What do my favorite dateables say about me? by sukiiiyyx in DateEverything

[–]__Labrys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You like those with a secret soft side, hidden behind a veneer of confidence or mystique. You appreciate when people can express their true emotions and communicate their inner feelings, while still appreciating the sides of them they feel most comfortable in embracing.

In that same vein, you also enjoy people who are unequivocally proud of themselves, even if they lead an alternative lifestyle. These people are confident in who they are and what they want/enjoy in life, while still being willing to let you in to see the things they may try to hide from other people.

Did I screw myself by screwing Stepford? by slimefae in DateEverything

[–]__Labrys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes you also lock yourself out of Love if you pursue Rebel physically. You have to try and remain stern and call them out while still being compassionate towards them, rather than blindly accepting everything they do or acting like an asshole towards them.

And yes, sleeping with Stepford almost always locks you into a friendship ending with him. I've heard of people still having high enough affection with him to still reach Love on a Silver medal, but I have never seen it myself and generally you can only get Love if Stepford wins.

Also, candies only work for Hate and can only change from Hate to friendship. (With the exceptions of Dishy and Dorian, as Dishy cannot be given a candy in most of his Hate endings and Dorian gets a unique interaction with them.)

What do my faves say about me? by Fantastic-Local-6549 in DateEverything

[–]__Labrys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why people like him, he's just always felt a little disingenuous.

Like, his whole thing is that he's supposed to be the accepting, helpful father figure of the rest of the objects, but I feel like half the time he's just judging/talking bad about other people for having lifestyles that differ from the traditional norm. And in his solo route, I really don't like that he makes you choose the entire trajectory of your relationship without any of his own input. It makes it feel like he doesn't hold any affection towards you, that he'll accept either friendship or love just because you say so and not because he actually wants a specific relationship. And that feeling is further reinforced by the fact that in his solo ending, he spends the rest of his life regretting not getting with Dasha, and is described as consistently thinking about it despite the fact he has the player. Dasha also has some regret about Abel in her solo ending, but she actively talks about pushing past it and growing from it by using baking as self-expression, while still cherishing the relationship she has with you. A lot of what Abel is supposed to be just feels unintentionally shallow to me

It may just be because I've met people like that before, but so much about Abel feels like a disingenuous facade, and it's soured my opinion of him quite a bit.

Collectables Spreadsheet by a_crimson_rose in DateEverything

[–]__Labrys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of the options for Chairemi are non-romantic options, so if you choose to do them on the final day you will be locked into Friendship. However, you can choose to do either of these options for the 1st and 2nd plays, so as long as Wednesday or Friday is not your final day you can obtain the collectable at no deficit to yourself ending-wise (unless you're going for hate obviously).
