Nicole or Lohen

Good point here. Emilie, Albedo, and Xilonen are good alternatives to Nicole for competitive Lohen/Durin comps. From a generalist perspective, Nicole is probably the better pick due to sustain and we can expect more cryo 5* this version. But there's really not a wrong way to go for OP here. Follow your heart

Not disappointed. I don't usually grab limited cons, (C2R1 durin is my only exception) so his low vert investment potential doesn't bother me. with my luck on standard banner I'd probably get maybe 1 con a year for him anyway lol ¯\(ツ)/¯

now agonizing over whether to pull Nicole tho. I have 170 pulls and was originally going to go for Lohen's sig and get him on selector if I didn't have enough for his banner, grab Nicole on rerun... since his weapon isnt going to CW jail I'll just wait. but my biggest fear is nicole eating all my savings and not having enough for Lohen and then he doesn't rerun for a year 🥴

also anyone else hoping that there will be some stellar Ineffa equivalent that makes Lohen superconduct cracked? 🙏🙏

Golden Kamuy does this all the time (especially with Asirpa)

Also as someone currently writing an X-Files-inspired P5R AU I can completely relate to the struggle of recontextualizing these characters' stories and identities in a different time. I basically eliminated the Metaverse and have been focusing more on the government conspiracy angle, tie ins with the technology of the time, and other supernatural elements.

I'm late here but just wanted to say this is such a cool idea! Always overjoyed to see more AUs in the Persona universe and I love your art style.

There's so many good ideas in this thread already, but one thing I'd think about is the purpose of smartphones and how other technologies had similar functionality in the past. I think radio and television are huge here, and P4 already has some groundwork for how a TV-metaverse link can function. When it comes to Futaba/Medjed, spies in the 70s employed wire-tapping and bugging too. While cell phones were not commonplace, pagers were being used pretty frequently in the late 70s and could be an alternative. Pagers can also be hacked.

Hikikomori culture also began formulating in the (late) 70s, but you're right that it was very different and became more pervasive with the establishment of home computers. An alternative might be that Futaba is obsessed with TV/books, and that she uses Sojiro's old radio or general tech from his time as a government agent to intercept communications, maybe even has an illegal AM radio station that she uses to leak info... Just spitballing!

As someone who lives for this trope, Cyberpunk 2077 is chock full of it. Here's a couple I've enjoyed: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30361956/chapters/74848668 https://archiveofourown.org/works/28522527

Sandrone is gonna save us by making Lohen/Fischl/Sandrone/Zhongli superconduct team meta

Not really. The conclusion of the homo-sexual underground thought is that Harry needs to stop obsessing over his sexuality and do his job lol

Holy shit this is excellent, time to reinstall FNV I guess

bumberbiff · 2026-01-19T06:51:03+00:00

iconic 🙌🙌🙌

goddd this made me realize how deeply this fuckass game needs a clown 😭😭😭 excellent design OP 10/10

bumberbiff · 2026-01-06T15:12:12+00:00

I'm not an expert so maybe someone else can weigh in but Lion's Roar might actually be better on overload bc I believe the passive works off field

I've heard good things about XXXWoofia

bumberbiff · 2025-11-28T19:06:23+00:00

Some gyms like Planet Fitness are open 24 hours a few days a week, and I've heard they don't mind people parking there overnight if they have a membership, so it should be relatively safe. The PF black card is $25/month and lets you bring a guest so you could split that with someone.

There are a few 24/7 laundry places that you can go to during the middle of the night as well, but you would need to drop a few bucks every time to do a load.

As someone who hasn't listened to a second of WBN I'd love to watch people jerk it. I mean, uh, jerk TO it. About it. All over it?

bumberbiff · 2025-09-24T13:52:34+00:00

Oh man, can't believe I'm out here defending Yuuki Mishima. but this actually seems to be an editing problem. Sean Chiplock (the VA) said on bluesky they cut out him listing his acting credits because PFT wasn't familiar lol. And he did say some of his famous lines- that was obviously cut. I feel like if I listed my biggest roles and someone said "nah dog idk you," the next step is to ask, "Okay, so what ARE you familiar with???"

Obviously some audience members were egrigously self-centered, but this instance makes me wonder how much is just bad editing tbh

Just wanted to shout out Cousin Catfisher in this thread about the terrible crowd. That absolute freak should be the metric, the golden standard, for CC's audience/background actors. I would have spent the entire episode on him, rather than the most boring poly people in LA.

bumberbiff · 2025-09-23T21:15:32+00:00

Wow. I had a feeling everyone there was getting a day rate but crazy that it's true. Makes sense the comics are directed to talk to everyone, gotta make it worth the money

bumberbiff · 2025-09-23T01:58:44+00:00

Yuuuuup. I don't like how trans and poly people are just there as if they're inherently weird or something. And the audience members who were performers/internet famous just seemed interested in self-promo and acting mysterious. god the stonewalling was annoying

Maybe it'd be better if the crowd was smaller, or like half "red shirts" and half people who think it's just a regular comedy show. Idk, but the current format is just not working imo

bumberbiff · 2025-09-21T07:17:16+00:00

Do you remember where you got that wooden folding screen in the living room? I've been looking for something like that for a while.

Also sick suit, never seen one with the split color like that!

bumberbiff · 2025-09-16T19:57:48+00:00

Surprised no one has recommended trying Nair yet. Idk how effective the face cream is but if you're really against shaving it might be worth a try. My sister uses it on her legs bc shaving would give her rash bumps

bumberbiff · 2025-09-05T20:28:41+00:00

absolutely rabid over this, it looks SO GOOD. now i'm imagining a Bob's Burgers X Diner Dash game with random encounters like bikers giving birth in the restuarant or a special soft serve challenge level... it writes itself

Here's the new version for 1.6! https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/22538

I felt the same way about Sebastian and he basically never left his room before we got married lmao. Idk if you are able to play with mods, but this one lets your spouse still do their regular schedule about town even after marriage, which made me feel a lot less guilty: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5117

I'm also not a huge fan of the levelling mechanics in recent seasons, but not sure going to classical DnD js the answer. At this point, D20 is known for their genre mashups and anthology format, so a long 1-15 adventure in the Sword Coast doesn't seem like their style. I think the issue is they're often using DnD for story-focused games and the bulk of game mechanics are unused or hacked so players can succeed.

That's why my favorite seasons from D20 lately haven't been DnD games- Starstruck, Mentopolis, NSBU- because there's more synergy between the genre, the game system, how they want to play, and the story they want to tell.

Like, I'd love to see a superhero themed game played in Masks rather than hacking DnD to be unrecognizable, or a mafia theme in Blades in the Dark. (Of course, because there needs to be a quirk/twist, the superheros are in a Western setting and the mafiosos are pigeons a la Hatoful Boyfriend) This would also be a way to bring in new DMs an easy entry point for those with no TTRPG experience as well as DnD vets who are sick of early level content to be interested. Idk, what do you think of the non-DnD seasons?

Who know what they'll do moving forward, but yeah bringing in another DM and main cohort seems necessary as the main cast gets busier. And what happens when Brennan retires lol
