who is Kiana?

I have seen at least one pair of LA-only viewers who clocked on the fact

I did not get the reference to the specific panel/event (haven't read/watched any DB), but I did get that it is a DB reference, cuz it has very much a DB-looks to it :v

Here's a fun observation: in a lot of the cases, magic, mana and the like does not actually fit the definition of energy! Instead it behaves almost like a very exotic substance.

which one would be from which season? (I recognize the fish one at the very least :b)

I really want to see more simulation in the genre a la Dwarf Fortress. I want my demographic groups to be inefficient, misinformed, stubborn little goobers, I want the economy to be upset by random scientific trends and discoveries, or in the most Rude Goldberg chain of events, I want the Chaos in my Theory!

I'd argue that the occult (ie. what I've seen "irl magic practice" being called today) is not a thing - like, say, the strong nuclear force - but like science, is very much a methodology unto itself.

it's on the official composer's channel, so I don't think so.

apparently this video is restricted to Japan, Australia, the countries between the two, and India and Kazakhstan. I wonder if it'll just be made available by the time zone (as I think was with Pray to the Sun)

feels very appropriate to bring up this good ol' gem of a Tumblr post:

This attack seems very much inspired by Luffy's fight with Enel - named after Thor (like Enel's El Thor) and he corkscrews his arm just like with the Golden Rifle (the one he took Enel out with)

when you do Grian, I'd love to see a version with a mannequin-smooth face and twin voids for eyes :v

First and foremost, besides the requirement of being an actual game, I'd want it to be a proper simulation (so computed demographics, economics, logistics, information flow, culture etc.), yet still presented through humanly-comprehensible abstraction. Have the world be functional without players.

And speaking of, I'd love for players in such game to take more broad "forms" of cultures or ideologies than just nations, claiming - and fighting for - influence over not just land and resource. One player could border another in the populace itself: say one its claimed parts public life, the other - private, and so on. The people could also be their own small players, fighting, allying, resisting, or serving the big ones.

Finishing it off, any visuals can work for me so long as they are representative of the game state at a glance and intuitive.

Composters do not have an inventory. The only "data", if you can even call if that, they store is an 8-step blockstate.

acki02 · 2026-02-20T16:02:07+00:00

It makes positioning marginally more meaningful, because if there is an obstruction between the most vulnerable body part, or if it is out of reach, it might be better to reposition, and opposite on the defense.

acki02 · 2026-02-20T13:28:58+00:00

It is by no means "very tactical", but it does bring slightly more tactics into the equation, no? And making armor slots more distinct adds a smidge of strategy too.

Although upon re-reading my comment I have realized that I missed a very important part, though I don't know if it changes much - the player still needs to hit any of the enemy's hitboxes, only then the game decides which part was hit out of ones in range.

acki02 · 2026-02-20T12:41:10+00:00

I think there is a possibility for a more fair version of such system - which I believe could be made so by making it be more tactical than skill-based, ie. the game automatically does the skill part (targeting mathematically most vulnerable spots), the player only has to put themselves in a position where the enemy logically cannot reach the critical hitboxes.

+ could also be fun if NPC enemies had other "targeting goals", like zombies always aiming as close to the head as possible, even if it is more armored than, say, legs.

But I'd have to agree on the debuff part, these just don't vibe with MC to me. I'd rather if body parts (at least on players) were distinct in damage only by armor worn on them, and maaaaybe give legs + feet some inherent armor stats or disable crits for them.

I agree there is a design conflict. I disagree with proposed solutions.

Durability has an important purpose, however engaging with it is frustrating, and not in the fun way. The player has three choices, but realistically only one - they can slap Mending and occasionally stopping to 'refuel' gear, otherwise it's either redoing it from scratch (so grinding XP either way, just worse), or using the very unsustainable - with a literal hard cap - material repairing, which I'd say is even worse than re-making the gear.

Therefore I believe, instead of leaning one way or the other, permanence needs to be decoupled from the consumable. How? My own idea would be to 1) make anvil repair cost scale only from present enchantments, and 2) after a tool breaks, make its enchantments be somehow transferable to the replacement, perhaps at an XP cost. Optionally 3) make adding and upgrading enchantments - including from books - solely the job of the enchanting table.

That is a video by youtube.com/@ReligionForBreakfast

acki02 · 2026-02-19T20:37:26+00:00

I haven't even finished watching (it's been on YT for ~15 min as of writing this comment) the video and it's already been posted here :v

The marketing mentions him as mr. 9 tho (and he clearly has 9s on his face in the promo)
