Don't we have a "death race" set with a bunch of Vehicles (and probably mounts) coming soonish?

Yeah the Survival mechanic is a lot of "stealth" support for that.

Nice flavour.

Goes well in Greasefang.

If y'all been checking out my comic lately, there should be a new one either this upcoming or next Thursday (really wanting it to be the former!) Til then, this was the week prior's!

I've been putting a ton of my passion and energy into it recently, and so I'm really excited in general to just get back into comics after one year of hiatus :oD

New comic is UP!

This one is short, but another longer one is already in the works >:o)

So In the original X-Men comic where Magneto appeared, before any kind of civil rights metaphor was a glimmer in anyone's eye, he was doing a fairly unnuanced "Bow-before-me" routine, seizing control of nuclear missiles because he was a supervillain and that's what you do. In the original Ultimate X-Men by Mark Millar they reproduced that basic dynamic in the first six-issue arc (although not with nuclear missiles, but something equally high-collateral and terroristic.) He had much more of an express ideology there- a very simplistic 2edgy4me blanket misanthropy about humans, tinged with malthusian ecoterrorist vibes- in a way that harkened back to the cartoonish completely unsympathetic and unnuanced silver-age faire while also gesturing in the direction of a guy with enough of a party line to build a global cult following around. This was deliberately incompatible with an eventual claremontian face-turn but it was something.

Anyway I think a lot of people want Magneto to be a hero or at least an anti-hero these days (understandable, he has a very cool helmet) and so for a while I've been thinking about how and if you could hybridize all these beats. I think it's doable. I think you could build a version of Magneto where him stealing a bunch of nuclear missiles from the government is framed as basically morally neutral at worst, honestly kind of a lateral move, where it's more about not letting toddlers touch the hot stove. Magneto who's magneto less out of identitarian mutant supremacy and more in a way where he's exhausted with the human condition and fully convinced that the only way the children are going to stop stealing each other's lunch money is if someone with the requisite power (I.E. him) makes them stop. (In a way that functionally wraps back around to mutant supremacy, but that's not the explicit party line). A guy who'd intervene in the same way Daredevil or Spider-Man would if he saw someone getting mugged or threatened, who then immediately turns around and bloodlessly steals an entire bank vault to fund his asteroid house, because he's not about to take a moral lecture on the sanctity of property from fucking Goldman-Sachs. A guy who's pissed at Xavier at least in part because if he had globe-spanning psychic powers the world certainly wouldn't still look like this. Do you see my vision.

A london newspaper wrote an article about Panzr and his various blogs. This article shows that he lied in court so he’ll probably get a longer sentence now. It details his posts for years.

this nigga is so corny but also

mind you this is after a series of recorded tumblr posts one of which said something along the lines of “I want to find and rape a stranger off the street.”

what’s funny is that when he gets out this whole thing is probably going to make him even more popular among his ilk of 2edgy4me weirdos and the mentally ill teenage girls they groom.

I don't have Yuu but I've been dying to know what she looks like in live2d. Vivi posted these images in the discord last night but I wanted to see her for myself in motion. Luckily she does indeed appear in the event, so

I think it's interesting that unlike every other magical girl so far, she has this crooked neck. Even more interesting, it's present also outside of her magical girl form.

There's something a little off about it. I know this gal is like, 2edgy4me but I genuinely really like a lot of the design decisions made for her. She just comes across as otherwordly, from her witch-like magical girl design to how she stands differently from other magical girls, to her blank eyes and hidden mouth. I just really like it.

If any girl deserves to be void: it's her. I can genuinely believe she snapped when she made her wish and that whatever we're seeing now is someone very different from the person she was before. It's almost like she's an animated doll walking around, a body that doesn't know it's dead yet. I'm fascinated.

Final Squad for Alain was the "Cornian Cavalry" : Alain with Renault and Clive on the front line, with Josef (with the ring of the maiden!) and Monica behind - they couldn't do shit in Albion but at least they didn't die lol

I wasn't that fond of Shooters because I felt like while Liza could withstand one or two hits and not die afterwards, she tended to, well, still die when put on the front line, maybe my team wasn't optimal though but yeah, her dmg output is nothing to scoff at and unlike Berengaria, she knows how to use her great shield.

Yeah same, I wanted to get a lot of rapport convos but ultimately couldn't do it, fuck those 2k gold Albion sandwiches :(

I got more use of the Feathershields and Featherbows in the final DLC/added quest where you can play with Ilenia and... Alcina, Gary, Beaumont and Eligor :(

(I laughed way too much when one of the generics who joined with Ileina was named "Casimir" and I was just "daww that's Alain's mom who last saw him when he was 7 so of course she brings kid!Alain's favourite knight who used to tell him bedtime stories!" and then I had sad feelings (tm) about the entire situation because can you imagine the WTF Ilenia must be going through after the plot ends?)

The Sages mention something like "causality" but imo, isn't this map basically an AU of what happened in the Norbelle ending ? Basically everyone is red and/or unpromoted (or they are at the level of promotion you get them) and you fight against them on a map that has the BGM of each final stage.

Fave character, personality wise would be Gilbert or Josef himself!

Utility wise, given how Jeremy doesn't know how to count and slaughters units with some bastard cross that has between 10% to 20% of chances to hit, I'll give it to him.

WDYM only Alain can get the killing blow on Baltro???

TFW the Tricorns keep on whacking him to no avail, ditto with Magellan :(

even if plot wise it makes sense

@pandp-author Feathershields are absolutely ridiculous lol, Fodoquir basically exists and makes mage teams/teams where Sorceress try their "surprise you're frozen !" combo completely meaningless !

Sanatio's healing is completely stupid too lol, too bad we can't play more maps with the angels/feathered people, because they're fun to use!

I'll make a more detailed post about the epilogue later but plot wise for the final chapter, as expected, Gharnef Baltro backstabs the Red Emperor, it is revealed Ilenia - Alain's mom - survived in the prologue, but Red Emperor Galerius Galvius when defeated body/soul hopped on hers so she became his unwilling medium (which raises all sorts of questions here, when Alain kills Galvius during the "Rescue Scarlett" mission, did he aleady kill Ilenia and Baltro resurrected her, but she's somehow still alive and not a zombie?) but ultimately she is free when Baltro uses Galvius' soul to open the "gate to the netherworld" or something, to use the souls of the Zenoiran currently in limbo as fuel for his spells.

Given how Baltro notes that the Cornian Royal fam has the blood of the Maiden who survived the sacrifice of the Unicorn and its curse 800 years ago, I guess he implies that is the reason why Ilenia makes for a better host than the random Valmore - the previous human who was Galvius' host - but then it raises the question of Giethe hunting Virginia : wouldn't she have been used as a spare ? Granted, given how Galvius incarnates in the flesh of people who defeat him, the only way to incarnate in Virginia would be for either her or a random to kill Galvius while he's using Ilenia's body (and Virginia would later kill the random).

So I guess if Giethe brought her head Baltro would have been "you dumb fuck", but Alcina's plan to uwu with Gerard in Alain's body wouldn't put a dent in his plans, since he could get rid of Gerard in Alain's body to put Galvius instead if needed.

As cheesy as it was, I liked how the plot unfolded here - despite his "perfect lord" appearances, Alain still wants revenge for his mom and didn't forget what happened 10 years ago : if the player chooses to give Alain his vengeance, despite learning the plot and the truth about Zenoira, he... actually kills his mother, and Baltro is still Baltroing around.

If he acts as the better person and the "saviour", he tries to offer mercy to Galvius, despite him killing his mother and plunging the continent in a sea of blood, which gives Baltro the occasion and opportunity to betray Galvius, thus freeing Ilenia without killing her, and it gives the party the occasion to kill/banish him to oblivion instead.

The usual "follow the plot = you're rewarded + vengeance is meaningless" trope.

Of course I can't talk about the final map without ranting about the green NPCs that are here to "help" you - nice nod to have them be Drakengardians to echo Gilbert's earlier (at the end of arc 2!) words of sending Drakengard's help to help Cornia when it will be needed - sure his help is green units + Hermann (one of his retainer that is blue this playable \o/) but it's a nice nod to the former plot and you can honeypot about the political ramifications of this move (the Liberation Army led by the Cornian prince helped free Drakengard, so now the Drakengard Army will help the Cornian prince to free his country?).

No such lines about the enemy Bestrals - who as Bestrals can't be soul snatched - who are recruited by Dyna who basically tells them "wtf dudes stop fighting with them and join us instead!" but I confess I laughed at their names (il y en a qui s'appelle Paulo mdr, pourquoi pas Bébert pendant qu'on y est?).

Too bad the named minibosses aren't more developped, but I wonder if in the Norbelle aka worst ending we get to fight Reimann and pals instead.

Oh well, I'll have other occasions to replay that map to get the different endings - at least the normal one on this PT (the one where Alain kills Galvius but fights off the possession thanks to his magical plot ring that resonates with the plot ring of his partner).

i just saw sonic 3, could you imagine if in c.2005 they had made a kurtis game ala shadow the hedgehog or fellow edgelord game prince of persia warrior within?

oh my god it would have been so unironically good lmaooooo, like both kurtis and shadow have a gun and a motorbike and they are Very. Rock.™®© \m/

and of course this banger

like i hate how warrior within did away with the sands of time vibes and sands of time is always going be the better game (and probably my favourite game EVER), but just i love how absolutely ridiculously unfittingly edgy warrior within's aesthetic is, i unironically LOVE the music, you simply had to be there in 2004, if you get it you get it, and if you don't you could NEVER UNDERSTAND what that kurtis game would have been like

is that really too much for a girl to ask for ;_; in another timeline we have that 2edgy4me kurtis game reeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The dichotomy between what's popular according to booktok (from what I've see) from the most blandest books imaginable to the most taboo erotica you can think of is kinda wild.

I think that what gets me with taboo books recommended by BookTok is that they're usually very poorly written. And if the writing is poor, you're not really getting the full "shock" value.

Like, when you read Sierra Simone's Thornchapel series, the scenes read as really intense because Sierra is an excellent writer. In contrast, a book like Hooked (that one dark romance~ modern Captain Hook book, a concept I was very open to and wanted to like, for the record) is very badly written. There's taboo content and a horrible hero, but like... It just reads juvenile.

I'm about 65% through A Kiss at Midnight by Anne Stuart, a historical romance that is QUITE dark, but the writing is frankly fabulous. Because Stuart can write, the darkness (which is not like, the corny "oh he's so bad he's in a motorcycle gang" torture sequence stuff--it's TRULY intense and pretty accurate for the era) is balanced out by emotional progression and honestly? A very dry, at times dark humor. If a lesser writer handled this plotline, it would just seem like shock factor after shock factor layered on just to get people talking. Very 2edgy4me.

And I'm gonna be really real here. Some fanfic authors are made to transition to actual published books. I think Ali Hazelwood writes a really solid contemporary romance. I really enjoyed You, Again by Kate Goldbeck, and that's based on a fic I actually read. The Hurricane Wars works as a book. (And mind you, let's not take away from the work the editors and authors did to rework fics into actual books here.)

Some fic authors are meant to stay fic authors and to excel at that. I personally think that one of the reasons why we have so many blaaand romance novels right now is that a) some of them are written by less-equipped fic authors trying to write real books and b) some of the authors have read less actual books than they have fics.

There are some tensely plotted, exciting fics out there. But personally? I think the standout nature of those fics--fics like Manacled, which... I think.... is not.... for me. However, bland it is not lol--makes people think that is the NORM for fic, when it's not. The norm for fic, and what I think a lot of more casual fic consumers and people who read more fic than they do books (compared to a lot of romance readers who turn to fic to supplement their reading habits) is very plotless slice of life stuff.

And that's not meant to be derogatory. It works, especially when you're writing about characters a lot of people know and love and are PROGRAMMED to know and love. Even if it's AU and they're basically other people, if you're writing a modern, sedate romcom about Katniss and Peeta and she mentions going to archery classes and Peeta being a baker, people are like aawwwww and they enjoy the nicely written scenes that are just people being people.

That.... ultimately creates a bland story when you're writing a book about original characters nobody has a preexisting investment in.

"the human world disrupted this harmony" "humans are a unique type of pest" Henry did the mindflayer tell u that be honest with me honey

Actually Henry's monologue makes to much sense if you look at it from the perspective of someone connected psychically to an interdimensional eldritch being just saying and good night
