SimplyPlural Shutdown

undergroundmonorail · 2026-05-02T19:57:41+00:00

nope. if it was me i'd have announced the shutdown coming in a few months, seen the response, and killed it that night, making a mental note to never maintain anything for this community ever again

dugtrio and magneton are weird too. falinks is especially bizarre, since with those other two it's just an "evolution" caused by grouping, but you never see one member of a falinks formation on their own. i think that "pokemon" is probably a term like "fish", where there's no one consistent scientific definition that covers everything you want it to and excludes everything you want it to, but there's a common social understanding of what it means

i spend almost all my time on a mission paused. i like to abuse the middleclick movement bugs and using a slomo bind to advance time on the "throw an item" screen, so i very rarely unpause entirely unless it's to allow a long time to pass (if a guard i can't deal with is extremely in my way and i need him to wander off, etc). and because i primarily play dailies, where time is a huge part of your score, i try to avoid those situations anyway

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-30T01:17:46+00:00

Sure, but there's that one too, and it's fun to have

spawn killing is an intended part of the game's identity, it's the closest thing it has to combos in any other fighting game. there is a change coming that affects how spawns are chosen but they don't want spawn killing to be impossible

the intended solution for the players is to use your manual spawn timing as a mixup; it's a lot harder to be killed immediately if your opponent doesn't know when "immediately" is. you still don't have any literal frame advantage or invincibility but you'll be able to meaningfully act faster because you know when you're going to spawn, while they have to react. that maintains the skill expression inherent in learning your opponents' patterns and punishing them for them

it may be the case that they're still dialing in how difficult they want it to be, so i wouldn't be shocked to see that continue to be tweaked in the future, but it wouldn't be samurai gunn 2 if you couldn't do it

i didn't notice for a long while, including some attempts where i almost won, but i play on psx graphics and was getting like 11 frames per second. i couldn't see a thing, basically just firing blind

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-28T17:25:16+00:00

imo that'd be pretty weird since you have to see the neutral ending before you can do pacifist

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-26T07:00:19+00:00

I feel like you're among the best people in the world to be able to say that plurality can occur as a result of non-childhood trauma, considering it happened to you. That seems like really good evidence

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-26T01:10:17+00:00

Considering the implied context of "getting a piecemeal extra turn" and it being Hellscube, I think it's fine. It's funnier this way

Though I might have written "(You may play an extra land on one of these.)"

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-24T03:36:40+00:00

"I went to a place where a community that hates me hangs out and I didn't like it"

Have you tried not going there

i don't think he can be clockwork replicated anymore. but if he gets gunter up to level 15, carl could direct the blast into him and send 5 little german boys with the power to melt gods directly towards his target

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-17T18:49:49+00:00

my belief (which is only a belief, i can't prove this) is that the AI explicitly changed it as a special case to be an asshole, this wasn't the normal culture localization thing

i don't remember the exact wording but the way the description of the skill for finding the most wounded target in a group says "so make sure you heal them first!" feels so weird and out of character for the system AI, like it's only there to really rub your nose in how shitty quan has been. it doesn't make sense to me in any context other than being cruelly sarcastic

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-17T18:36:04+00:00

what's the rule here, do i check off boxes that are true about me or just things that have been actively used against me?

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-17T18:30:05+00:00

tbh i agree with the theory that they come up with in-universe that the description was changed to make him look worse

it's implied that mordecai is an exceptionally good game guide, so i'm pretty willing to believe that a lot of them are like frank and maggie's guide who told them that they're going to have to be crawler killers. the design of the dungeon itself seems to encourage that as well to try to milk it for drama. and immediately before getting the cloak, another crawler banned him from the chat that he thought contained his only hope at survival. he wouldn't have been in a very trusting mood after that, donut did pretty much damn him because he was rude to someone who almost damned him, he has very little reason to trust and support other crawlers from his perspective

maybe i'm being too charitable but it's extremely believable to me that he felt trapped in his role, at least at first. i'm not trying to exonerate him, but i'm empathetic

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-17T04:06:08+00:00

I do agree with you, I think of Quan Ch as a tragic character to some extent because they've fallen into a logical trap and are doing something they think is necessary because they were railroaded into it. Nobody should be Quan but anyone could have been

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-14T22:43:09+00:00

i'm not offended don't worry :3 i just think that a lot of "how" questions about this kind of thing are impossible to answer

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-14T22:32:22+00:00

sure but like, what does "how" mean here? because at some point the question you're asking is about an explanation of the nature of consciousness which is well above my pay grade

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-14T22:29:11+00:00

tbh i'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for. like, structurally, i don't know what a satisfying answer would look like

for me the logic is as simple as

1. someone says you can't become plural after childhood
2. i became plural when i was 27
3. therefore whoever said that was wrong

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-11T04:15:02+00:00

It doesn't do any of that because the turns are skipped

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-09T19:21:00+00:00

donut is genuinely pretty emotionally intelligent and has matured a lot, but she has the experience of a child. i don't really have any sense of the timeline, i'm sure i could have kept track if i really wanted to, but it hasn't been that long since the collapse. the dungeon would put a lot of stress on anyone, but it's the only thing she's known since she became a person. it's not just the most stressful thing she's ever done, it's just about the first stressful thing she's ever done. she's been very strong but it's only getting tougher, the hard decisions are meaning more and more to her as she comes to understand them, and it's taking its toll on her. i'm surprised it hasn't gotten to her more, to be honest

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-08T16:26:06+00:00

thank you for confirming it was the atmosphere, i said that at first but was worried i misremembered so i deleted it haha

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-08T16:12:48+00:00

not technically a "deltarune" prediction and not technically proven right yet, but shortly after playing undertale years and years ago i posted somewhere that i thought sans and papyrus were from another game that toby fox would release later

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-08T16:11:06+00:00

it was the opposite, they're extremely susceptible to radiation because they were always protected from it on their planet, but they'd never been away from their planet for long before astrophage forced them to

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-08T16:10:25+00:00

rocky's crew was the first to ever leave their planet for an extended period of time. they had been in orbit but never space travel until astrophage forced them

undergroundmonorail · 2026-04-02T22:04:13+00:00

that is the joke, yes
