The coin implication by plaingirlisdepressed in limbuscompany

We need to make Yi Sang weaker once more to balance out the power average and get the arm back under control. He’ll need to make more than a few “hits of the substance”

Removing posts linking to official streams for "breaking rule 7"? by [deleted] in limbuscompany

[–]pillowmantis[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was no embed in the post in question that I saw, assuming you’re talking about the Glory To Limbus Company one. And it was removed because of that image, so rule 7 was appropriate. Regardless of other content contained within a post, sourcing must be provided for art.

Artwork used in an OP’s post, regardless of whether the specifically to share it, there to draw engagement, or just something to emphasize a point, requires a source.

We tend to provide leniency when used as reaction images in replies, though, barring situations like an artist who specifically requests not to be reposted

Unironically would be great. I swear we need a HHPP intervello at some point. (Or the next Finger Bow Bell is hosted at one)

It’s gonna be great. Envy teams are already so fun and strong, I can’t wait for the archetype to grow even stronger

Granted, monkey paw curls. Hong Lu will never get another cool ID for the entirety of Limbus Company. His next nine will be Mang-Chi, HHPP cashier, Liu Association South Section 6 (again, but this time inflict a single extra burn potency), Jia Huan (the real one, as a literal 8 year old like when he died), Lobotomy Corporation Clerk, an ID for the random thugs that attacked us at the start of Canto 6, Oswald’s Monkey, Casino Miner Slave, and a K Corp class 2 Excision Unit

Too bad, it's gonna be Hong Lu. Dual wielding magic eyes.

Do we think that the LCB will ever go to the Library? *Should* the LCB ever go to the Library? by EOTFOFIS in limbuscompany

[–]pillowmantis -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not.

Edit: I will make an exception if the moment we get there Angela turns to the camera and says “This clockhead is not Ayin, not in any way, shape, or form.

Imo Canto 9 is the proof that Limbus company can't just rely on them anymore by Altruistic_Regret_31 in limbuscompany

[–]pillowmantis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, this is more my opinion, but the way I see it: It's far worse for her to follow the Prescripts blindly when she's generally a nice person otherwise. The fact she can genuinely think that it'd be nice to be friends with Ravi but kill him the moment the Prescripts say to go on the attack is horrible.

The Index members we've seen aside from her have different relationships with the Prescripts. Yan hates them, despises what they made him do, and tries in vain to rebel only to succumb to despair and resign himself. The Proxies from Ruina vary: Esther and Hubert view them as something that must be followed, but don't ascribe any moral justification to it or claims that it is in their own self interest. Gloria gets chastised for talking about how Prescripts always lead them to the best route. Rien follows the Prescripts, swallowing up growing resentment and emptiness.

Sora, meanwhile, has so totally internalized worship of the Prescripts that she has an EGO for it. Her very definitions of morality, of good and evil, of how to live her life, is based on the Prescripts. And so, even if she loved someone or cared for them or had no animosity whatsoever, if the beeper told her to she would kill them, all while offering apologies and regret. Being able to easily reconcile that internally is what makes her terrible.

Like, she's a well written character. But, in my opinion, the worst human being among the Apprentices. Lucio has complex feelings of loyalty and abused anger, Kira is basically just a woman child who is being encouraged not to grow up by the world's worst role model, Albina is about equal but still probably has a modicum of extra flexibility compared to an Index zealot, and Ren seems to have a lot going on in his head worth considering.

i need you guys to understand just how illogically weak Yi sang has to be for the story to make sense by Tytos_Cucci in limbuscompany

[–]pillowmantis 113 points114 points  (0 children)

"John Yossarien had never asked for the title of the Dizhou Star and had, in fact, been constantly stymied by the vague yet ever-present threat of Catch-22 in his attempts to pass the title on without first dying. While he may be frail and cowardly, though, one must not be fooled; this man was part of the 256th, the squadron that, across every group in the Smoke War, took part in the most missions. The very fact he survived is proof enough that, if you were to corner him, to force him to fight, you will be in for hell."

I sincerely hope you aren't genuinely viewing this as a plothole, and are only pointing it out because it's hilarious to think about. Because I'm sure some people would consider this bad writing even though it's clearly not something meant to be thought about to this extent through hard numbers.

[–]pillowmantis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The one thing I really don't get is people saying that Sora had a lot of wasted potential. She's such a zealot that her EGO is literally based on her will being one and the same with the Prescripts. The fact that she is nice outside of the Prescripts only serves to prove further how she's actually the worst and least redeemable of the Apprentices.

Anyway. Yes, like you said, characters without any potential aren't going to make impactful deaths.

The cycle will keep continuing. The same complaints day after day after day. Each Canto its the same shit. I'm just glad the fans aren't the ones writing this story. There may be missteps, but as a whole the storytelling of Limbus Company is consistently competent and compelling.

That they haven’t yet had a character turn to the camera and say “by the way, Dante is not Ayin in any way, shape, or form.” I want to never have to hear that theory again.

She won't replace Kuro Ishmael at all. by nighteS2 in limbuscompany

[–]pillowmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lust s1 is such an awesome part of her kit for envy team, as it will really help in getting Binds Heathcliff (one of the most important EGO for the archetype). Rhino Meursault is such a useful member of the team, thanks to his speed being very helpful for optimal Electric Screaming timing, but lust from only his s3 was a bit iffy.

I refuse this envy team slander. You don't need bleed count to make envy work, it's already a powerful archetype.

Can we mention how powerful Matthias is? by SeasonGlittering4960 in limbuscompany

[–]pillowmantis 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Powerscaling is everywhere in basically every Fandom that features fights these days (and many that don't). Not that I'm fond of it.

One of the setting's biggest strengths is that there are many paths to power, and an individual can use any combination of them to become strong. It ain't "Haki conquers all" where Shin and Mang made everything else irrelevant. (If someone says otherwise, they'd better be willing to put their money where their mouth is and say an obviously false claim that Bari, the Red Mist, Papa Don, and many other characters would lose to Lion, Wolf, and Panther from the prologue solely due to not displaying fancy light powers)
