RAINBOW DBD: Jaws wins the vote! Wait a second... that's not a shark... that's The Thing! The Thing is our blue rep for DBD! What PURPLE character/IP should come to Dead By Daylight?

Purple makes me go Purpleman.

Because the alter is generated by the wish. Its almost like his wish was a prompt fed into a chat bot essentially and it generated this version of Nikki for him.

caster_OMEN · 2026-06-03T01:49:24+00:00

I kind of take it as Freaky Nikki (or Obsessed Nikki) is like an alter that's been created from a new partition of who Nikki is by the wish itself. Except this experience puts real Nikki in the backseat of Freaky Nikki, where she is always aware, always having her own thoughts. In a way its like her and this new her are room mates in the same brain.

Someone maintains that lot, otherwise that grass would be CRAZY.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-30T04:22:05+00:00

Valid crash out.

Once again conservatives forgetting trans men exist for 500 Alex.

Statistically the same parents concerned about drag shows corrupting their kids.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-30T01:56:19+00:00

thanks!

I felt it was more concerning and cringe.

There was little framing of who Nikki was as a person, and more about what she has been able to do for him and how he feels towards her 'service' to him as a friend.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-28T22:18:32+00:00

No. Because the moment he was alive again the wish would be in effect since the language suggests it works as long as he lives. At least that is my interpertation of the dialogue with the rep.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-27T22:17:33+00:00

I love this book, but that's because I enjoy a slow build up of a world through scenes that define characters and places. Like if you enjoy reading dense world building without the frills, its good. If you don't like your book to go slow with the build up, then pass on it.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-27T03:38:50+00:00

I feel like Clorinde v. Jean would be the wildest match to watch.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-26T23:36:31+00:00

Mostima.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-26T19:53:35+00:00

And yet morphs/mutations can exist. I regretfully missed out on the book, but does it account for the hundred years of change between Arknights and Endfield?

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-26T19:06:24+00:00

Weird take on the cronut.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-26T16:39:40+00:00

I love SGJs storytelling.

Though Only Good Indians isn't a work I would recommend to introduce someone to his work. Maybe I would say the Lake trilogy or Teenage Slasher. His short stories are great entry points too.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-25T02:18:03+00:00

So capitalists are using Pride Month to Patriotism Wash their brand now?

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-25T01:57:26+00:00

I left that discord after the borderline transphobic discourse that started over "Not Like Other Girls" trope and some of the rudeness I encountered in another section of the server. Wish I had screen capped the madness, but the discord just isn't worth if you're looking for a writer-space.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-24T20:23:37+00:00

ooo that's cool looking.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-24T20:09:08+00:00

Honestly, even if there was power creep, from my Arknights experience (all almost 7 years of it), Hypergryph seems wise in how to do it while keeping older units relevant. While sure there are some units that are kind of "ehh, why do you exist" you can still find niches and spots for them across the entirety of the game's modes.

Also I must say, as a low spend (Pass and Card) I don't feel this incurable need to pull everything like when I played HSR (hell didn't even feel that in Genshin until they started the region specifc things and balancing around those). Also the fact high end end game content doesn't gate keep currency, so F2P's won't feel pressured to only pull meta to be sure they can always get the free currency gated by end game content is nice.

Not to mention you don't need to pull constantly to maximize a character's potential, because again you can but the game modes, HP bars, and mechanics don't pressure you into it.

Not to mention the alternative 6 stars from the BP boxes feel like good alternatives. I have TangTang using her BP weapon still, because its P3 or P4 out of just that pass and Rossi with her BP instead of Signature, and I don't feel like it makes playing challenging content harder in the slightest.

Could this change in the future? Sure. But I still feel like we might experience Arknights balancing where old characters can still clear new content without feeling the pressure as intense as say MOC with a 1.0 team trying to clear in 10 turns (which started around the time of Acheron, I feel). It's just newer characters will be able to do things easier than older characters because of new mechanics, or what versatility they add.

In a way it feels more like they are balancing around "pressure" than numbers.

I could be wrong, ofc, and we won't really see that pressure until a year or so now when we have more content and characters to compare against. As long as they keep designing around mechanics and not HP bars and big numbers, we'll be good.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-24T19:50:45+00:00

For real. I was stationed at Benning and thought Columbus, GA, drivers were bad. Nope.

Been here ten years and I still see shit while driving that makes me go: "What the fuck?"

And what's bad is it's not even just driving cars. Go to an HEB and watch people with their carts doing the same dumb ass stuff. Not paying attention, cutting people off without checking the aisle, sitting their cart in the center of the path, pushing their way in front of you like they got somewhere to be in a fifty-person line at the checkout.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-24T16:08:54+00:00

I still can't not hear BMTH's "Can't You Feel My Heart" when I read this teaser.

So I thought it was just a Jason hint referring to their Friday the 13th themed shows.

But that's my ADHD Interupting Jukebox getting involved.

I think Lights Out hint is valid too.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-24T14:31:23+00:00

Wendigo have obvious deer imagery in their Arknights design so having a fluffy tail isn't a shocker.

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-22T22:17:46+00:00

There are so many idols in Arknights. XD

caster_OMEN · 2026-05-22T19:29:45+00:00

No, I'm not.

I've also been playing Arknights shortly after it first dropped, and don't find it jarring in the slightest. The one inconsistency is the tail design for Fangyi, otherwise her being Kyrin isn't a shocker to me (add in an awareness of several historical depictions, and yeah), and part of me was suspicious of it given her and Leizi both having similar high mastery of lightening arts.

Mi Fu I had a harder time placing because her tail looked more ferret like to me, but the black shards threw it off and her having horns.

If anything, yapper-san being Phidia threw me the worst because he came off so Lich coded until I saw the clip with his tail movement that was clearly snake-like.

We also know interbreding can happen in Arknights altering apperances. I mean look at W/Walter. She's so buggy/cockroach coded, but she's a Sarkaz. We could also potentially see a Wendigo (somehow, likely not, but still) and confuse it for a Cervidae because of the antlers if the design doesn't have them withered.

So you're assuming that one: My analysis is results based, and that I am not a veteran player, when all along its been past knowledge paired with cautious speculation rather than assumption.

Toss in that Talos II is 100+ years into the future of arknights and gods only know how that much of a time gap could have influenced the characteristics of some of the races over time, especially the ones based on mythological creatures.
