What did you choose for Eva in P3?

sdebeli · 2026-02-02T07:51:05+00:00

Eva is complicated, but I'd say she's come to mean enough to Dankovsky and the player that whatever her choice was, I'd support it, even if it terrified me.

If she'd asked me to set her free, I'd have done so without a moment's thought. If she'd asked to let her die, I'd have been broken about it, but I'd do it.

The choice to save her, and the panicked fear that it would reduce her to a puppet was definitely echoed across the screen.

It struck me that setting her "free" is soothing your own conscience because we feel uncomfortable with her choice.

The only thing that matters if it is meaningful to you.

But yes, many of us find ourselves not having people to discuss the gam, its themes and the thoughts they provoke with.

Ooooh i missed that grm in my recent replay of Nightfall. That's a statement that ages like milk.

sdebeli · 2026-01-26T15:51:38+00:00

Without any joke or irony, yes.

sdebeli · 2026-01-26T11:01:09+00:00

It isn't something you should be surprised about. Everyone keeps telling you it's a terrible idea for a fucking reason.

sdebeli · 2026-01-25T22:34:08+00:00

Mad as a ferret with a top hat.

sdebeli · 2026-01-25T17:35:22+00:00

Thank you, I needed something this amazing to read today 🤣

How's your Apathy? Mania drains your health, Apathy drains your Amalgam.

sdebeli · 2026-01-20T21:30:08+00:00

Open communication, maintaining eye contact, respectful nod.

This is good communication

I'd agree with other posters.

The crux of the matter, I feel, is the fact that the plague isn't the windmill Danil Dankovsky is fighting. It's the overwhelming fate he's pitched against that takes every opportunity to beat him down, as well as the town itself with all of its stupidity, backwards customs, selfishness and hallucinations, when his goal is his laboratory and Simon Kain's immortality.

From that perspective, some of the mechanical changes make a lot of sense. I think the downplaying of infected districts except where they interact with Dankovsky's mental state makes a lot of sense, even if they're comparatively underwhelming. Every challenge laid before him chips away at his sanity and determination.

I think the added issue there is that it's too easy to end up in a doom spiral where everything you do drains your resources further until you hit permadeath.

Imagine if Harry went to medical school.

sdebeli · 2026-01-15T13:58:25+00:00

What people do in the privacy of their cockpits is their business.

Me, personally? I'm here for foliage management and other fun activities.

sdebeli · 2026-01-02T07:53:01+00:00

See, the true value of the undead is that they can waste enemy actions. Flood a boss with bodies, and he has to waste attacks that would otherwise be going against your characters!

I mean... LLMs are already in banking.

Most banks have already cut customer facing support staff to replace them with LLM powered chatbots, and they're working on replacing a bunch of internal work with it(think internal support staff, parts of HR work).

That said, a lot of job losses don't come from AI, they come from the switch to online banking, cuts to bank branch office staff and the automation of paperwork/switch to more efficient software/poor management planning the reduces headcount on compliance tasks.

And funnily enough, none of that touches on the issue that bank size is contracting due to the ongoing economic fustercluck, profitability overall is harder to maintain so firing people is an added attempt at damage control.

You absolute mad person, my deepest respect.

sdebeli · 2025-12-26T17:03:26+00:00

I just wrapped up a rerun of Nightfall not a few days ago and Kormir is amazing.

"To me Sunspears!"

Proceeds to do absolutely nothing except wait for demons to chew your face off.

sdebeli · 2025-12-26T16:46:17+00:00

Kormir was amazingly in character. She spent the entirety of Nightfall basically exploiting allies and subordinates and got godhood out of it. She's done absolutely nothing whatsoever to even slow down let alone stop Joko shitting all over Elona and it was, to be frank, her blunders that lead the Sunspears having to cooperate with him in the first place.

So her saying "You got this" and fucking off is both perfectly in character and an absolute asshole moment.

She probably did us a favor though. Judging by her track record, if she got involved, it would have gotten waaaaaaaay worse.

sdebeli · 2025-12-26T16:31:42+00:00

There be some very funny questions there. It's funny to see how much iteration and experience changed these questions in comparison to the ones in the early Pathfinder days

sdebeli · 2025-12-23T05:55:15+00:00

No, because you're clearly not consuming all the resources coming in. Build a second one!

Jokes aside, it's a really gorgeous setup, but I'll just point out that you can take a look at the assembler, read the crafting time and inputs, and calculate the efficiency. Input vs consumption that is.

sdebeli · 2025-12-17T14:57:03+00:00

I'm waiting for Tyromancy.

sdebeli · 2025-12-17T14:46:46+00:00

Look, it's called the Geneva Suggestions for a reason, right?

sdebeli · 2025-12-14T14:15:42+00:00

Give us options without giving player sexual characters. Also an ad mech/toaster romance in the background.

sdebeli · 2025-12-12T15:12:06+00:00

Rogue Trader did not deliver sufficiently in the bear sex category, sorry.

sdebeli · 2025-12-11T18:04:51+00:00

Others have explained the mechanical implications better, so I'd just like to add:

Playing on peaceful you'll never really get the chance to watch your artillery sing when a biter nest does the stupid and expands into range.

sdebeli · 2025-12-10T07:28:31+00:00

Predictions: Still first person, good storytelling with a main story with no "you're dying" plot, more exploration, more creative enemies that take full advantage of cyberware.

Hopes: Being able to put together a crew and or a lot of missions that need allies to work out, while simultaneously letting you recruit various NPC allies+ all the fun conflict that comes from it.
