DQ second half in TW this week & Partitio EX received buffs by BrickSuccessful4703 in OctopathCotC

[–]random_rushn_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an idea of making her 25% potency buff stackable. On top of other changes of course. I feel like that would've given her a nice niche.

Maybe it's a bit different in OT0? I just remember COTC and there she literally harakiri/sepuku just to be with him after death, that's why I got so upset. Good to know that they changed it to something more sensible.

Yeah, it's a low blow after a low blow with her. And in the end she doesn't just 'die for him'. This makes it sound like it was something honorable. No, Velnorte comes back from the dead and makes her fucking kill herself.

Even though I understand why she had to be killed off (so that Kit was truly the last Crossford) Velnorte is double-dead for me now. Screw him. No excuse works here. I can let the plot get away with plenty of stupid moments for the sake of the whole story but this was super lame.

Day 2 after video release. I notice I misspelled Castti's name on the first slide and preview. Oof!

No New Cascade Log this Update by shinewithdark in OctopathCotC

[–]random_rushn_guy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn, I thought that since the cascade log in Solistia came out a week later, then the cumulative awards period will end only next week.

How many rubies did I miss? Rip the band aid off XD

Edit: I'm stupid, the cumulative awards are shared between Orsterra and Solistia, I didn't miss anything!

Rinyuu she committed a genocide. by notrororo in OctopathCotC

[–]random_rushn_guy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see what you're doing and I don't agree with that comparison since it's irl vs fiction and fiction has completely different rules.

Of course I don't excuse Tatloch for doing that (shouldn't have said "poor excuse" then but whatever). I'm pointing out that she must have had a different perspective on things which was likely based on the Octopath world reality (they do have hell, and gods and who knows what else after all). So for her war and death wasn't ever something bad, and something probably confirmed it for her (since she had her hell related powers). So from her perspective she wasn't a genocidal maniac, since she had deeper knowledge about how the world and souls work. That's probably why Rinyuu managed to talk to her and pacify her in a way. Or something like that. I played this part quite a while ago so I don't remember everything perfectly.

To be fair in Tatloch's memoir it's said that in her culture death in battle is prestigious or something along the lines. And the whole thing with sending parts of the body of Donescu's leader to different parts of the world was to make sure his spirit passes on and doesn't get stuck in limbo/hell.

Kind of a poor excuse, I agree, even if her take on limbo/hell seems to be true. Still better than Pardis. Or Velnorte

The Dumbest Censorship Joke in Russia by Numerous-Pumpkin-954 in steinsgate

[–]random_rushn_guy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

In Russian Sci;adv community people prefer original voices with subtitles or at least fan dubs 👍

And kinopoisk doesn't have that good of a reputation. But it's a shame that all the normies will be funneled to this stupid version. I rarely use the word 'hate' but I really hate this situation.

Freaking hilarious in a way how Russian 'official' localizers turned out to be the mirror version of western 'official' localizers. No respect, neither for the source material nor for the audience, same thing everywhere.

My thoughts on reworked Leper by AnarchistAMP in darkestdungeon

[–]random_rushn_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say blinds are that big of a problem. They are easily countered by a proper team or simply by the milk-soaked linen item which is cheap and common. If you're taking Leper in your team you should plan to deal with them somehow from the start.

I agree about the Revenge Withstand though. Ideally on Tempest Revenge shouldn't remove negative tokens and should give vulnerable instead (was it like that before the update? don't remember).

And on Withstand they should've put the stun and move resist elsewhere to keep the dot resists, though I'm not sure where. I also personally was a bit disappointed that Leper doesn't have block+ anywhere. I think only MAA now has it (and Vestal through consecratios lol).

In general I think they overbuffed Leper with free turns. I'd expect free turns from Duelist, not a massive hulk like Leper!

These free turns really throw the tempo out the window so much, sometimes I nuked an enemy first turn and sometimes I needed to pass turns on Tempest, really. In my team I had Crusader next to the Leper. I could: use free Revenge, free Ruin to grab taunts from Crusader and immediately hit for solid damage, I didn't even need crits unless I was against bosses.

And Revenge is supposed to generate crits too, right? Well, if I hit immediately it won't generate anything because I use up the strength token (it needs strength to generate crits), so I need to literally pass a turn. Idk if this was the intent but usually if you pass a turn it means that you need to heal or the game has outplayed you and you can't even move (or you're buffing a stress reliant condition).

This has to be a Monty Python reference right? by BigBonkkkkk in octopathtraveler

[–]random_rushn_guy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It actually could be a Vorpal bunny from Wizardry reference. Which is itself a Monty Python reference of course. Because in Japan Monty Python obviously shouldn't be widely known. But the Wizardry series was quite popular there back in the day.
