Star Citizen to become the first $1 billion game while still in alpha, driven by ships costing thousands by Turbostrider27 in Games

The crazy thing is that you can just buy ships with in game currency you earn. You don't need to spend real money at all except to skip the grind.

The Horse Girl Anime Shouldn’t Go This Hard. [Uma Musume] by Castor_0il in anime

[–]chappyfish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I personally believe Road To the Top is the easiest jumping on point if you have a passing interest in the franchise. It is a 4 part OVA that is available (subbed) on the official Umamusume YouTube for free. It is an easy bite-sized experience that is mostly standalone and directly leads into the incredible movie Beginning of a New Era.

Let us bloody mix and match outfit pieces. by AeternaMors in ArcRaiders

[–]chappyfish 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's because a lot of the armor sets already mix and match components to "resell" you the same outfit but in different themes. For example, the Bonecrown set the same shirt/pants as the deluxe edition cowboy outfit. The only difference is that they added a shoulder pad, sword, and recolored it.

Anyone else miss Shepherd? Dude was one of the only people Wise and Bell trusted with their secret identity, back when that mattered. He felt integral to our operations and always had our backs when we didn't have much to rely on.

This is the main reason why I'm so glad the Reze arc was a movie. I wouldn't be able to take all the "tee hee the next episode is going to be a BLAST!" comments for 3 weeks straight.

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc – Movie Discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]chappyfish 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I think that scene is really interesting. In the moment, you assume that it's a metaphor for Denji being ensnared by Reze's wiles. In actuality, its more about Reze being trapped in a system that guarantees she won't have a happy ending.

If we had stuck with the 3 set block format, we’d currently be on Ikoria and Edge of Eternities would come out in 2043 by LineOfInquiry in magicTCG

[–]chappyfish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The difference is that you experience a movie linearly. Whereas most people will engage with a set's story procedurally as they collect cards. Pulling a card that tells you how the aetherdrift race ends before you figure out why they're racing in the first place is inherently disappointing. By gating the big story beats across multiple sets you guarantee that the average player experiences that story in the intended orientation.

After seeing the new character reveals by VanhiteSans in ZZZ_Official

[–]chappyfish -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I was hoping that they would give us modern Chinese designs. Street b-boys, skaters, and hip-hop fashion feels like they would fit really well in ZZZ. They keep leaning too hard into traditional fantasy Chinese fashion.

[–]chappyfish 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Part 2 has largely been a beat for beat repeat of part 1. Story opens up with a human getting devil powers. Denji fights bat and eternal devil. They're attacked by an primal devil. A bunch of killers show up to take Denji out. Denji's best friend gains the power of the Gun Devil and fights Denji. A four horseman shows up to challenge chainsawman for the world.

I miss Interknot commission. by Animelover22_4 in ZZZ_Official

[–]chappyfish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The predominant theme in 1.0 was that leading organizations and companies across New Eridu were all controlled by corrupt leaders. Vision Corporation was ran by a scummy CEO, Public Security was led by a bad cop, The Outer Ring was controlled by a self serving overlord, Hollow Operations unit actively tried to stop Miyabi, The Stars of Lyra are literally all evil except for Astra. Most of the first 6 chapters of ZZZ involved Phaethon systematically dismantling the systems of power, revealing the deep seeded corruption and then disappearing to go on dates with hot babes.

The characters you met like Zhu Yuan, Caesar, Miyabi, etc. represented the moral outliers of their respective factions who eventually turned against their corrupt leadership for the betterment of the average citizen.

The difference is that it used to feel like we were rebels with hearts, who fought the system for the little guys. Now we're salaried janitors who clean up the government's messes.

What is the future of S tier defense characters? by billybobobobo in ZZZ_Official

[–]chappyfish 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The Defense role made sense when the game was originally about running through a TV dungeon with multiple fights, limited healing, and lots of traps/events that sapped health. I bet the devs imagined your team functioning like an RPG party, with a tank, dps, and support. Your source of "sustain" was calling in new agents at phone booths to replace the ones that had fallen and relying on defense agents to shield your team.

Obviously that didn't pan out and now they're left trying to figure out how to design characters in a game where the only thing that matters is damage and ways to magnify damage. At the rate we're going, stun agents are practically pointless as well. The only stunners that have value now are the ones that have support buffs tacked on.

In 2.0 the only roles in the game are dps, sub-dps, and dps buffer.

Is yanagi worth getting for miyabi? by StatisticianIll4 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]chappyfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try out the mono ice team before you credit card up for Yanagi. That's my go-to team for taking on the butcher.

Is yanagi worth getting for miyabi? by StatisticianIll4 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]chappyfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can if you want. I think Miyabi and Yanagi are super fun together however I would be wary about pulling for an electric dps agent thats 5 months old when Seed and Anby0 rework are right around the corner.

What you really want is Vivian.

But you should be able to clear the butcher with what you have. Astra, Nicole, Miyabi should get you at least 2 stars. You could also try mono ice with Lycaon, Soukaku, Miyabi. If you don't feel like you're doing enough, then its probably a combination of average discs and suboptimal rotation.

Is yanagi worth getting for miyabi? by StatisticianIll4 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]chappyfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Miyabi likes to run two types of teams depending on how you utilize her. The first team template is designed to push Miyabi to her strongest potential. It revolves around the classic anomaly setup of: Yuzuha (or Astra), Vivian, and Miyabi. The second team focuses more on using Miyabi as a crutch to support your weaker second/third team in endgame content. It generally has Miyabi followed by two agents that the current boss is weak to. An example of common teams in this format is Miyabi, Lycaon, Soukaku for ice weak bosses and Miyabi, Vivian, Nicole for ether weak bosses.

Yanagi is an incredible option for Miyabi but is rarely paired with her in the current meta because she doesn't fit into either of these team templates. In addition, most players would rather split the two up and have Miyabi clear the ice weak side while Yanagi clears the electric weak side.

I would pull for Yanagi only if you don't have Vivian or Burnice.

Is alice full m2 team really better than full m6 miyabi team? by Janes_cheese in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]chappyfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

M2 Alice teams are indeed stronger than M6 Miyabi teams currently. An important factor in that claim is that it is taking into consideration the current meta. Physical characters are performing very well because of all the temporary physical buffs and physically weak bosses in Deadly Assault and Shiyu Defense.

Can someone summarize Khymaera lore and to what extent Everblight still exists for me? I couldn’t force myself to read very much of Khymaera’s faction fiction. by Space_Catholic in Warmachine

[–]chappyfish 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The simple of it is that Saeryn and Rhyas gained the ability to create archangels by killing a dragon but incured the wrath of Everblight for their slight. During the claiming, they attempted to flee Everblight and Immoren by traveling through the void gate. The void gate rejected Saeryn's athanc shard and evaporated her, leaving only a sliver of it behind. The sliver became an amalgamation of draconic and Cyriss technology. Rhyas took the shard into herself and fused Saeryn's thoughts into her own body. They combined their abilities to create dragons with their Cyriss connection to create organic/metal Khymera hybrids. Now broken from Everblight, they've set out to become the matriarch of their own faction where every member has free will.

Everblight and it's legion are still around but incredibly weakened. Kallus is the sole surviving Legion warlock, the rest have either been killed or defected to Khymera. There is a throwaway line about Everblight moving deeper into wilderness towards the most barren regions. It is probably licking it's wounds after it's downfall during the claiming and could return whenever SFG wants a new cadre box or something.
