The children's version of PSO and HHJ are so cute and in line with the adults. Not surprised that the teen PSO said he would pour water for an incorrect answer or his exasperated signs and that HHJ would try to downplay it.

they are SO so So cute!! and such good actors! they emote so well, and they really do make us believe like we’re looking at younger versions of heejoo and saeon!

like you said, they do and say things that are very in character for them, things we’d imagine they’d do as adults, tho it’s very obviously more in-line with their ages? if you get what i mean

eh the pouring water over the wrong answer reminds me of the way he was with yu-ri when she first joined the station and he was being strict with her! same vibe for sure

With this talk of a Generations remaster, It's got me thinking about how recent Sonic games (Colors Ultimate, Superstars, even Frontiers in a way) feel like 'safe bets' on both a creative and brand-management level. Would you say the 2000's era of Sonic games were a creative and/or financial gamble for Sega, or is all of my analysis wrong?

To me, Sega's creativity died after the Dreamcast. When Sega was developing their own hardware, they were really swinging for the fences on all fronts, really pushing for new and innovative and artistically interesting ideas. They were really crystalizing the concept of a "Sega Identity" as much as possible.

PSO? Samba De Amigo? Panzer Dragoon? House of the Dead? Rez? Space Channel 5? Jet Set Radio? Crazy Taxi? These are key games that only Sega could make. They are Sega's entire personality.

And that spirit almost entirely vanished when Sega became a software-only company. What few games came out (like Jet Set Radio Future) were technically already in development for the Dreamcast and got shifted over to platforms like the Xbox after the fact.

Post-Dreamcast Sega was trying to compete in a much wider market and kind of homogenized their house style in trying to appeal to more people across more platforms. I mean just compare Sonic Adventure 2 to Sonic Heroes, you know? That punchy pseudo-realistic "Sonic hates cops" vibe is gone as they basically went back to the Sega Genesis Aesthetic of bright colors and checkerboard hills again, a well they would go back to over, and over, and over, and over in the years to follow.

The entire point of Sega's big multi-game announcement a few months ago was to try and bring back that "Sega Identity" again.

To some degree Sega's had its tail between its legs and licking their wounds over the Dreamcast for 20+ years now.

I luckily saw your edit tags before I asked you anything but I also like the idea of your original misread tags so I’m going to ask you Both.

FIRST OFF. What does Sky think of Jinx? I only feel confident asking about Jinx because you are the 1. jinx lore knower (I have dubbed you that officially) AND because I want to know what sky thinks of her with more words.

Also for the funnies, picking from your OC’s list thingy from forever ago.

What does Marci (Project Scepsis OS) think of Marci (beyond the graves)? Idk if they have ever met or you’ve ever thought about this, but for the laughs I ask this. What do they / would they think of each other?

What does Sky think of Jinx?

Every time I think of Sky and Jinx interacting I am reminded of the fact that there is a timeline out there where Jinx ended up with Sky instead of King. Thank goodness we don't live in that timeline

Speaking first in WTSS canon, I think Sky would dislike Jinx, but not that much. It's a mild dislike. They just... don't get along, that's all. Jinx didn't pass the vibe check. Whereas, in RTTH canon, Sky absolutely fucking hates Jinx. With the undying passion of a thousand suns. Sky thinks she's is a horrible person and refuses to waste any of her time with Jinx. I wonder why.

What does Marci (PSOS) think of Marci (Beyond the Graves)?

To avoid confusion, I will be referring to PSOS's Marci as "RC1" and BTG's Marci as "Marc".

Wow holy shit a question about Beyond the Graves. I never expected to talk about that story on Tumb.

I'm gonna be honest, the Marcis are very similar in character. There is no possible timeline in which they can meet (Marc is dead, which makes it a bit difficult to interact with people), but if they could meet, I think they'd be friends. Ish. Both are socially awkward beings put in rather unpleasant circumstances, so I think they'd bond over niche special interests and Cool Autism Facts™. They're both a bit neurodivergent and will infodump to each other a lot.

They can also bond over trauma! Both of them have a "possession"/villain arc of sorts (Marc gets mind-controlled by the main antagonist and RC1 accidentally creates a hivemind), being The Puppeteer and Scarsi (pronounced: Sar-see) respectfully. While Marc and RC1 would bond over having traumatic villain arcs, the people they are during that villain arc would despise each other. Puppeteer is a dramatic asshole who wants to burn the world down while being the center of attention the whole time, while Scarsi is quiet, impulsive, and basically a rabid animal. The only thing Scarsi hates more than being perceived is being the antagonist, while Puppeteer is having the time of their life being a manipulative jerk. They would hate each other.

Despite all those reasons to get along, I hesitate to say they would be good friends, because at the end of the day, RC1 is an optimist. Sure, it's been through hell, but it's survived and has made friends and found reasons to keep persisting. Marc, on the other hand, becomes more and more of a nihilist as the story goes on until they eventually give in and join Majesty, the main antagonist, so that they can finally have some sense of purpose in their life. Although they may be similar in personality, it's their character arcs that drive the two Marcis apart, and for that reason they're more of good acquaintances than friends.

For the sake of participating I add:

Although the PSO song makes me feel nostalgic for a game I picked up a little over a month ago, so I'd say that makes it a pretty incredible title song as well :3

This could be nostalgia talking, but "A Song For Eternal Story" may very well be the best title screen music to any video game ever, and I defy anyone who listens to it to disagree with me.

Alternatively, share your favourite video game title screen music if you think that's better :P

doip. / 9.15.23: Axeholm, again

joins call. jorb tells me that they're discussing if we'd rather fight one horse-sized spoink or several spoink-sized horses We Are Now Talking About Pikmin.

LAST TIME, ON DERAGON IF ICESPIRE PEAK: OUR HEROES ARRIVE AT HTE OFORGOTTEN DRAWRVEN FORTRESSO GF AXHOLE . WE . FRONT GATE LOCKED. CAREFUL INTILFRATION , IM FUCKING THIS UO PSO BA D. DAUBLE. HOWEVER, A HORRIBLE STENCH PERMEATED THESE HALLS, AND THE SOURCE WAS QUICKLY DISCOVERED TO BE FOUL DWARVEN GHOULS ROAMING THE HALLS. AREPO'S RESEARCH SUGGESGTED AXEHOLM HAD FALLEN TO A BANSHEE IN AGES PAST. WILL OUR HEROES BE ABLE TO SECURE AXEHOLM? FIND OUT…….. TODAY! THIS SUCKS SO BAD

Last time, on Dragon of Icespire Peak!

Our heroes arrived at the forgotten dwarvern fortress of Axeholm, seeking to ensure that it's safe for refugees from Phandalin should the need arise. Upon arrival, they found the front gate locked, but after a careful infiltration through arrows slits in the walls, Dauble was able to open the doors for the rest of the group. However, a horrible stench permeated these halls, and the source was quickly discovered to be foul dwarvern ghouls, roaming the halls in undeath, including one carrying a signet ring with Axeholm's crest. Arepo's research suggested that the fortress had fallen at the hands of a banshee in ages past, which may well still be haunting the lost fortress. After several battles against the risen, and more yet to come, will our heroes be able to secure Axeholm? Find out, today!

DIRECTLY INTO INITIATIVE! right i forgot we left off right before an encounter fixing the issue from last time of "deleting tokens blows up initiative" by putting invisible men under the ground. like fallout nyx put on 1 Hour Of Silence Interrupted By Pikmin Noises and got jumpscared

green: my father was a pikmin jorb: oh! green: don't ask.

arepo's up to bat! time for vicious mockery. oh hey we can see healthbars now jorb: how are you giving kepesk bardic inspiration? green: you just hand it to me.

[insert the "dauble!" "boggle!" conversation Again - NYX HAS ONCE AGAIN BEEN JUMPSCARED BY PIKMIN nyx: ok im normal, im normal. i have a pikmin on my shoulder but its vibing, im here jorb: wildshape into a pikmin. 2 inches tall

dauble does not wildshape into a pikmin. dauble is using word of radiance! -oh they're not close enough nevermind. wait no they've moved into range. WORD OF RADIANCE!

oh right. walls exist. kepesk sadly cant clip through walls. thankfully attack of opportunity bounces right off him!

hm. gettin kinda crowded in here

HOLY SHIT MY CROSSBOW WORKED. IT ACTUALLY GOT A KILL FOR ONCE. WILD . also used a nat20 to annihilated a guy with 2hp left Consultation Saving Throw - ah oh no dauble is now paralyzed . that's an issue. OH GOD THEY GET AUTO-CRIT NOW IF ANYBODY MELEES THEM? THAT'S AN ISSUE

jorb: you feel necrotic energy seeping into your limbs and you cant move. nyx: or speak. jorb: your mouth is a limb! leo and jason: Hm.

arepo is casting sleep! OOPS NEVERMIND UNDEAD AREN'T AFFECTED BY SLEEP. time for another vicious mockery (and also whacking dauble with bardic inspiration. 🎶 walk it off walk it off walk it off) jorb: dauble, it's your turn! you are paralyzed and inspired! hooray, the inspiration got dauble back on their feet! still surrounded by ghouls (and lizards) though

kepesk being the change he wants to see in the world (killing people)! ghouls cant fall asleep but they CAN feel shame

green: [rolls a 23 on a con save] jorb: would you like to use your bardic inspiration? green: UHH?????? (she was fine)

jason: i think i broke something. leo: WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU?? (apparently he rolled two nat10s back to back. he's also fine)

DAUBLE KNOWS INFLICT WOUNDS. SURE. A NECROMANCY SPELL. SURE. anyway they are inflicting the hell out of those wounds

nyx: im going to grab [the ghoul] by the neck and bash his head into the floor. leo: HOLY SHIT jason: i ""cast"" inflict wounds nyx: and he's going to get fucking raptured. he's going to wilhelm scream himself out of existence kepesk: I DIDN'T KNOW THEY COULD DO THAT!

well! that's one way to end an encounter! don't you hate it when you're paralyzed so you have to reduce a zombie to a fine dust

arepo has found a platinum amulet with a hammer and anvil! and also a little chest. jason: what horrible monster have i unleashed. jorb: the mimic eats you. um - oh hey arepo finds another potion! oh its labeled this time so he doesnt need to drink to find out. superior healing!

dauble's hoarding instinct is kicking in. wuh oh alidaar: i put a hand on dauble's face and shove them away like a misbehaving cat. hmm. dauble doesn't like the amulet, actually. oh its the symbol of moradin, the dwarven god of creation! alidaar's holding onto it for now.

jorb: so you're heading up the stairs, dauble? leo: dauble! green: dauble! jason: daubling up the stairs.

WUH OH. BANSHEE.

jorb: its face becomes a mask of rage as it screams G [cuts out]

dauble: uh. guys? kepesk: treasure? :D alidaar: i dont think treasure screams. arepo: well, sometimes. alidaar: …do you have experience in screaming treasures?? kepesk: i had a treasure that screams, actually. …it's a long story. alidaar: huh. neat. kepesk: it doesn't scream anymore though alidaar: why does that sound so concerning

kepesk: [to the banshee] dude, you gotta get out of here, there's a banshee in the castle TIME FOR INITIATIVE

leo: [checking tracker] ooh, she has a name! (jorb: how's the pikmin noises going?) jason: most people have one. she has a "hello my name is vyldara" sticker (she does not)

arepo leading the battle with vicious mockery! and telling the banshee she's off-key for 1 psychic damage.

jorb: she uses horrifying visage. so everyone in 60 feet that can see her - green: alidaar can't see.

jorb: i'm assuming he's been looking around the corner! leo: yeah he's peering around scooby doo style

WUH OH . everybody but arepo failed their wisdom save! - nevermind, dauble got advantage bc They've Seen Worse. the reptile duo are now scared shitless what are lizards afraid of that mammals arent? pufferfish.

ah no this sucks. we can't move willingly closer and we have disadvantage in line of sight. thiiiis suuuuuuucks kepesk tries throwing a javelin! unfortunately, shaky hands from Absolute Terror makes a miss. man what am i gonna do

green: if we win, i'll pick [the javelin back] up. nyx: IF???????

OOF. NAT 2 AND NAT 1. kepesk has dropped the javelin on his foot

the fact that the two heavy hitters are frightened is not good, actually. i mean dauble and arepo are pretty good at what they do but kepesk and alidaar are both the up-close brawlers and they are currently unable to get up close and have a disadvantage on brawling.

DAUBLE WALKS UP. SMACKS KEPESK UP ON THE HEAD. "GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER" it is REALLY funny that the tiny halfling and the bookworm bard are completely unaffected by this and the two beefy lizards are weeping and wailing in terror

kepesk: you wouldn't get it, it's a lizard thing, alidaar: she's a pufferfish!

dauble knows turn undead! apparently they did this before and i forgot

nyx: im going to hold up my - jesus christ i forgot about the pikmin. jorb: you hold up your pikmin!

dauble is using shadow clone juitsu! sure. dauble 2: the second one. green: cmon kid we've gotta save dauble… 2!

discussing if we can throw kepesk or not. unfortunately we cant green: so long, gay kepesk! jorb: thank you for playing my game!

I Am Going To Shove Kepesk . i have shoved kepesk

kepesk: [TERRIFIED SCREAMING AS HE IS SHOVED FIVE FEET TOWARDS THE BANSHEE]

alidaar ducked out of line of sight and shook off the fear! shoving kepesk made him feel better.

jorb: arepo conjures a spray of spectral black lotuses. jason: i'm trying to think of a magic card with ugly art to be like "oh, you think that's bad?" nyx: he throws pot of greed. green: wait, but what does that card do?! leo: IT ALLOWS ME TO DRAW TWO CARDS AND ADD THEM TO MY HAAAAAAAAAAAND

arepo has showered the banshee in a spray of ugly-ass cards.

wuh oh. arepo and kepesk having to make con saves against a mournful wail! kepesk rolled a 1 but thankfully he has bardic inspiration - ah wait no he's one short. AH OH GOD DIRECTLY TO ZERO

Dauble Has Entered Kill Mode . INFLICT WOUNDS!

………..oh my god there's no effect.

green: ..so what happens if we all die? like is that it, we delete the discord, [..] jason: is kepesk still afraid while dead? green: kepesk is on a second adventure in his brain where it's like YOU'LL FAIL and he's like NO, MY FRIENDS ARE WITH ME

The Unconscious Kepesk Is No Longer Frightened green: in my dream state, im having a miniboss battle

hm . i cant really do much from where i'm at even after running up, i'd have to close the distance somehow before using any of my runes… jorb: you could use your crossbow! leo: alright. fuck it.

leo: WHOA! [..] alright, i'm using my crossbow again!

leo: … [strained] i love my crossbow, it sucks so bad

arepo has given kepesk the superior healing potion! wahoo! chekhov's potion in full effect green: the potion was cursed and because you used the action to give it to me, i'm fully cursed. jason: why would you say that? kepesk hugging arepo and weeping

huh. the banshee has Left. well. kepesk is giving chase through the closest door!

leo: [EXPLOSIVE LAUGHTER] jorb: what, what's happened?? leo: the - the state of the room! green: not just the state of the room…

green: …you'll see it is NOT CONNECTED.

kepesk stomps out of the room and his rage activates on its own ah. the room kepesk went in has a stone tub full of gnawed dwarven bones. great!

nyx: i have a question. is the banshee smart enough to know dauble 2 isn't real? jorb: is kepesk smart enough to know dauble 2 isn't real? green: kepesk 100% thinks there's two daubles.

hm. alidaar can't get in the room. CROSSBOW TIME jason: oh, he's shooting into the door? jorb: alidaar shouts "dauble, duck!" nyx: both daubles duck.

crossbow just BARELY hits - leo: i'm using my fire rune! GUESS WHAT I REMEMBERED - guess what i realized my crossbow counts as a weapon!

rolling my physical dice bc i like doing that once a session i guess! oh god i have to get on the floor to roll my physical dice . oh god ive unplugged my headset. great googly moogly its all going to shit

OH . GREAT. SHE HAS A RESISTANCE TO FIRE AND IS IMMUNE TO BEING RESTRAINED. AKA THE TWO THINGS MY FIRE RUNE DOES. MAN

we have another pile up.

green: IF I COMPEL DUEL THEM, WILL THEY GET AN ATTACK OF OPPORTUNITY FROM ALL THREE OF THEM? [..] jason: definitely cast compel duel on the creature that's demonstrated an attack that goes in a straight line [and kills us instantly].

i appear to have spaced out at a bad time. is green rolling to see which ally to slap to keep kepesk's rage going nevermind, kepesk has bit a ghost. jason: refreshing, tangy ectoplasm. jorb: it's kinda like biting a lacroix?

jorb: using your noggin! leo: you're THINKING! nyx: i'm thinking!! jason: Now You're Thinking With Daubles [...] jorb: so true, bestie. i mean, b-slur nyx: WHY WOULD YOU CALL ME A SLUR NOW OF ALL TIMES green: I SPACED OUT FOR A SECOND, HUH? leo: ME TOO?? (nyx has a running joke where he says b-slur instead of bestie)

HERE COMES ALIDAAR WITH A STEEL CHAIR!! jorb: how would you like to do this? leo: ……………i don't know! alidaar fuckin Vaults over arepo and slaps that bitch apart. LET'S GO

alidaar pets dauble on the head. alidaar pets dauble 2 on the head. dauble 2 evaporates

dauble stares kepesk down and tells him "be more careful next time. i can't afford to lose you." alidaar holds out the most awkward fistbump and goes "aayyyyy, gettin knocked down and yelled at for it buddies…!"

jorb showed off the banshee stat block and it has SO MANY RESISTANCES AND IMMUNITIES. ITS IMMUNE TO COLD. FUCK MY LIFE FOREVER

jorb: there's another bedroom [..] who puts their bed in the middle of the room, god damn. GOD DAMNIT I ALERTED THE HORDE (STIRGES) dauble wakes up, goes FUCK YOU, and explodes a stirge

arepo: there's bugs in there. kepesk: ew!

jason: are they bugs? jorb: they look like this but smaller. [posts image] green: every time you show me this it looks more and more disgusting.

arepo has viciously mocked the final stirge . arepo: the rest of you already left, what are you still doing here =/

alidaar has rolled an 11 to smack the stirge like a mosquito. that's a miss. this is incredibly embarrassing EVERYONE IS TRYING TO SLAP THE STIRGE OFF ALIDAAR. AND FAILING NEVERMIND. KEPESK HAS FLICKED THE STIRGE INTO A WALL WITH A NAT 20 UNARMED STRIKE. FUCKING CLOWNSHOW

things the fireplace contains: 100 more stirges, a banshee, the second boar, sephiroth,

Everyone Has Become Fascinated With This Fireplace

jorb: any magic items you miss will go in the dragon hoard. nyx: jorb i am going to go to your house and eat you jorb: that's what i've been doing! any loot goes in the dragon hoard! leo: we've been REALLY bad at looting things.

dauble has found a chest! time to put the signet ring in it dauble: put the ring in there. kepesk: oh, jeffrey! nyx: dauble stares at him. green: i don't know why it's jeffrey the ring on my character sheet.

kepesk: nooo i dont wanna go in there, youre gonna cask of amontillado me! dauble: i will if you dont put the ring in there!

ooo! fancy helmet and fancy gauntlets! green: [hopeful] wearable for lizardpeople? jorb: eh, you can make it work.

dauble has decided to shove the items in their bag and scoot out. dauble please. dauble you have 10 magic items. dauble we're dying

oh hey this place has hot water! and also bones in the tub but that's fine

I Roll An Eight On Animal Handling To Find Out There's A Naturally Heated Hot Spring Underground

okay i guess we're cleaning the bone tub. cool

WE HAVE KNOWN AREPO FOR LIKE, A WEEK, WE ARE NOT GETTING NAKED IN THE BONE TUB WITH HIM arepo has decided to walk away. kepesk doesn't shower. Roll To See If Dauble Has Seen A Capybara (they have not)

jorb: alidaar, what are you doing? leo: staring at the binturong. wondering how his life got to this moment. alidaar sits in the tub with his entire armor on.

Advancement Unlocked: How Did We Get Here?

Time To Interrogate Dauble (in the bath) hoo boy! alidaar is very suspicious of dauble's newfound necromantic magic, but dauble keeps brushing it off because they dont want to lose anybody else - tobias isn't the first person theyve lost, and if this helps them keep people safe, then its fine. alidaar tells them "if you didn't want to lose people, you made a bad choice becoming an adventurer." it gets Supremely Awkward bc of them being in the Bone Tub and alidaar exits stage left

jason: does the binturong popcorn smell get stronger when wet?

Kepesk Is Now The Chosen Lizard (binturong has climbed up on kepesk's shoulder) nyx: dauble is not speaking to any of their lizards right now.

hm. the walls in here are covered with weird secretions that would allow creatures to walk on walls and ceilings…. like a gecko…………….

GIANT GECKOS (hey remember last time when i mentioned jorb said he needed to reskin some monsters)

jorb: first up is the immune to ninjas dauble "dauble!" "dauble!"

unfortunately arepo is out of spell slots and wasnt able to regain them on a short rest. this will be a problem most likely

WHAT . ALIDAAR TWOSHOT A GECKO . SURE (breath weapon + dragonslayer crit) and kepesk follows up with nearly taking a gecko down! off to a great start :D

OH NO IM BEING YOSHI'D

jorb: do you have any bonus actions? leo: uhhh, i do, but i dont think it would help me any.. or be good for anyone around me…… jorb: your breath weapon? oh, no, that's- leo: giant's might. |D; jorb: oh! green: shove kepesk down the stairs. jorb: that's a wall, not a railing, so.. green: smushes kepesk against the wall. nyx: you hear - [mario super mushroom soundboard] - and kepesk gets smushed

(i have decided to not use giant's might)

jorb announces the start of a round with "[name], you're up! with [next] on deck." and it's very fun. it reminds me of being in theatre for some reason

jorb: and that's a natural 1! nyx: take double damage! -no not actually jorb: i believed you! you could've lied to me! leo: always lie to your dm. it is always morally correct

I HAVE FINALLY USED MY INSPIRATION . leo: i have had that inspiration for a literal year. green: WHAT

GIANT'S MIGHT TIME . where's the funny button [SUPER MUSHROOM NOISE]

meanwhile, kepesk continues killing

arepo gives alidaar bardly inspiration by playing the godzilla theme. or jurassic park because that's the only one any of us can remember at the time. wait no green remembered it, jorb had to google it though

jorb: how do you want to do this? leo: UM. I HAVE A FUNNY IDEA BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS,

GIANT LIZARD ON GIANT LIZARD WRESTLING MATCH . alidaar chucks a gecko down the stairs. amazing way to end an encounter YET AGAIN . the gecko also has a very delayed explosion after we leave

kepesk's time for a fireplace adventure! a gecko eats his head and he dies instantly. no hes fine

OKAY! one nap later and we've cleaned up axeholm best we can, so time to go back to phandalin!

…ah . uh oh. there's a shadow over phandalin. cryovain swoops down, then flies off east. BOOKIN IT TO PHANDALIN AAAAAAAAAAA

nyx: oh god, did he take the barrel crab?! green: NOOO! THE BARREL CRAAAAAAAB!

oh god. ice and talon marks outside barthen's provisions. everybody's in a panic. OH HEY SILDAR'S HERE sildar was kepesk's traveling companion! and also became barry bluejeans in another universe but that's not really relevant. rest of the wilders are in neverwinter though

NOOOO OH MY GOD CRYOVAIN STOLE VINCENT…….. MAN………………..

OH . SURE. we have gotten paid 250 gold for axeholm! also alidaar is trying to be the coolest guy in the room, sorry kepesk </3 alidaar has handed the 250 gold over to dauble. we are never getting it back

sildar: do you know where the dragon's lair is? alidaar: [nervous sweating]

oh thank god. dauble does.

sildar: i wish you best of luck as you go out to slay… the dragon of icespire peak. leo: YIIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(there was also some after session discussion about what dauble's deal is! apparently something that got left out of my notes TWO YEARS AGO during the dwarven excavation was that dauble got the cursed necklace from the body of a dwarven cleric. their name being dauble is a Recent Development, and it happens to translate to "treasure" or "valuable". they've become very possessive of the party, just like they've become possessive of any treasure in proximity. they dislike the moradin pendant. I'M SURE THIS IS FINE.)

The Dark Beginnings ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Chapter 0 (5/6) ~

[Scenario : Courage - Fumie Kumatani, Warsaw Philharmonic]

*Rumbling+Perfect Chaos Roar*

Eruka Frog : I don't like the sound of it! If she combines the anger and Sadness to unleash the power of Shattered Resonance, we're history and so does PSO! We can't let that happened!

Ashley : Right! Which is why need to find a way to calm Kimial down before Shattered Resonance will be unleashed and this entire place inside of an MMO will be cleaned out! I gotta find a way to calm Kimial Down! [thinking] What to do? What to do?

Eruka Frog : Hurry! There isn't much time left! We need thinking thoughts straight and get ourselves in the game! Rupika, do you know how can you find a place to calm herself down?

Rupika : I know just a place!

[scene later transits]

[Rose Confession - Hideaki Kobayashi, Yutaka Minobe]

Ashley : Huh? This place? It feels familiar. So this is...where the Humarl was at. Rico was it? An NPC who went missing after being possessed by the big bad himself, Dark Falz. I heard that she was one of the first known HUmarls that wanted to be a part of the Hunter class, but Sonic Team denied when Sonic himself reported Rico was the missing Humarl that fans of Sonic really need. But thanks to Dark Falz's shenanigans, Sega love to have the nerves to make female characters dead. That's why equality is the thing we needed before the law.

Rupika : Uhh, that's referring to the state of Nebraska.

Ashley : Right, which is necessarily not in order. So, here we are. This is where we need to calm our nerves down. I mean, Kimial's nerves down. Hopefully calmness will help her lower her Shattered Resonance. This might help her do some therapy. I heard that one secpter that has the power to control the four vibes. The Vibe Secpter.

"Long before the Ohkuboverse was created, outside of Real World AU, there was a powerful Sorcerer that offered Angel vibe to give him the powerful staff that control's one vibe and he call it the Vibe Secpter, it is a powerful weapon that has granted it's own wishes by uniting the four vibes into one great warrior. So with the Vibe of Light's aid, Vibe secpter became a great success as it is the most powerful to control anyone's powerful vibes that are the emotions of hearts; Burning Rage, Sorrowful Sadness, Joyful Glee, and Calmness. These vibes can bring such power that will ultimately unleash into a powerful warrior that is a princess. However, despite it's creation on it's failed attempt of destroying the old world, Shinra foiled demon vibe plans and gave Soul World it's very foundation with the Kusakabe Legacy, that was simply a family tree of his own. Then the Time Eater arrived as it begins to destroy his world that he created was a facade and started an extermination event, but the last one survived and went insane. The witch that started it all was Inca, the first of the Kasugatani and true mother of Witchkind.

"As before the Ohkuboverse's destruction was being erased in half, Inca used the vibes of Rage and Gloom to combine a deadly force that has the power to shatter things and including the hearts of all, the one she calls it Shattered Resonance. And thus, the Shattered Meister was created and as well for the Shattered Soldiers. And they are forever remained in secrecy by the Men of Shinra's influence."

Ashley : Now what I really understand that the rumbling and that roar of a god of destruction, Shattered Meisters are actually people who gone into the despair and causes nothing but destruction. Maka, that girl and self-proclaim hero of Soul World, was the one that started the explosion on four-fifths of Japan's population, and the second explosion that started in Tokyo which is my partner. That's where the vibration and that roar is coming from.

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : True. Because the Kusakabe thinks that Inca's or her people were leeches, but that doesn't mean a single thing. Shinra and his people were killed by the hands of the Time Eater, and I was not the one that is a tool to the devil's will. I used to be a fire soldier in his old world, but then the Time Eater removed me from the Ohkuboverse and brought me into the real world, where I became the member of the Phantoms of Society! Shattered Meisters are very equivalent to the Shattered Soldiers, and Kimial is one of the Shattered Meisters as well. The Great Phantom knew that the Shattered Meister I found in Vermont are linked with each others, by connecting one's heart or one's soul. With them following on their path to destruction, Shattered Meisters will break us free from the will of Kusakabe, relcaim the Kasugatani name and her position! That is what we were ordered by the Phantom to look after the Shattered Meisters and we must protect them from ever bringing destruction on the planet. I wanted her smile to be protected and we are the only ones who can protect her smile.

Kimial Diehl : (in Joyful Glee) Jacqueline, promise me that you'll finally be what I wanted for our future. The sky is peaceful, the birds are singing, and I'm in a field of beautiful flowers! My only wish that I would be together to start a future for the ones that I loved, to cherish and protect. And you would protect me from of all bad things that will ever happen to me. You certainly who you really are, Jacqueline. I consider you to be my hero.

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : (blushes) Oh, ummm...It is my duty to protect you as a hero, I won't let you cry and neither you'll be angry, You stay perfectly as a good girl that I would proclaim you as a my future bride. You knew the place that where we first met...on that day in the Green Hills of Vermont, You and I, the tree where we made our love at first sight. Desperate to be forbidden that is a forever a secret.

Kimial Diehl : (Joyful Glee) You finally knew our secret honeymoon! I want a perfect person that I wanted to be my type, and you Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre, is the person that is the love of my life! (holds Jacqueline hand) So hear me out! In our futures, in our dreams, we could start a life! We would be groom and bride, you and I! But if you still hadn't figured it out that I was one of the Shattered Meisters, I'd still be the one you loved dearly.

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : ....Kimial. (comforts) I'm glad that you finally answered. When we do something for our marriage, I will do an Equivalent exchange, I'll give you half of my life, and you give me half of yours. That is what Edward predicted our marriage.

Kimial Diehl : (giggles) Jacqueline...

Eruka Frog : So much romance and drama, I might be better to get going then. *heartbeat echoing* Hmm?

Eruka Frog : That's strange. I don't remember that heartbeat echoing through the sound. Is that another resonance, or I wonder if there's a person inside?

(Kimial and Jacqueling laughing togther)

Ashley : (looks at Eruka) Wait, what are you doing now? That monument...!

Eruka Frog : Hey, guys. Since Kimial and her "hero" is a having romantic conversation, I'm just gonna sit over here on this nice...

Ashley & Rupika : DON'T GO NEAR ANYTHING, YOU TWIT!

Eruka Frog : What, guys? Go near what? Relax, fellas. It's not like that I'm not gonna do anything...(touches monument which changes the flora into a field of faces) stupid?

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : That doesn't look good.

[The Nearest Place to the Heaven (Attack) - Hideaki Kobayashi]

Kimial Diehl : Eruka! What did you do!?

Eruka Frog : I don't know, man! I was trying to go over here to have a seat at the monument! It-It's not like that I triggered something anything to rise an attack!

Kimial Diehl : You idiot! You did not go near the monument to take a seat, you triggered Dark Falz's defenses! And now he's going to wake up to find out that we're here! Any idea how are we supposed to deal with this mess!? We need some fire power to take these spinning things out of the field! This entire place has become one deadly booby trap!

Ashley : Of course, partner! If only that froggy idiot would never go near the monument and awaken the Final Boss of this MMO, we would've left here before she completely blew it off! Now we're gonna be in deep sh*t! Now help us out and get rid of these spinning spiky things that are Dark Falz's Defenses! I'm gonna need to cast a fiery spell on this!

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : Leave this one to me! I've always prepared to fight with the power of the flames! So here I go! I'm gonna make this game to the next level! Feel the power of flames, evil must be perished!

No matter what, you will always be related to the sky for me. Not only has it been in your users but its also just the vibe you give off so i just always type in ‘sky’ when i try to @ you but quickly remember you changed it /pso

[dark-falz]

heyooo, first thanx for waking up my need to play pso again.. and second uhhh can i ask if you got some time, could recommend me some kind of symbol or something pso inspired, not that big, as a tattoo?? this game is just an amazing aesthetic vibe that needs to be also on skin.. please thank you

ANYTIME FRIEND welcome back to the grind!! :3 ❤️

ALSO ID LOVE TO 🥹 A lot of it is going to be your preference of course, but some smaller things I've thought of for pso tattoos are;

RAPPY/RAPPIES with this you can pick from a broad art style and work with a tattoo artist or comission an artist or find an artist that can do a close to identical pso rappy the possibilities are ENDLESS but with going with a tattoo specialized artist you can have a flexible placement and the artist can compliment the art to your body part (if this makes sense)

There's lots of forms of rappies, from all games and they're all a little different. BUT THATS WHATS GREAT ABOUT THEM THEYRE ALL GREAT

The section ID of your name or fave character? Something I went with what the Xbox version assigned me for me legal first name, which is Skyly. I have mine on like the part of my spine that sicks out between my shoulder blades where it becomes your neck.

Any favorite spells? Photon Blasts?

Hunter ranger or force preference? The little icons for each would make good stick & pokes 😂

What's your favorite mag? I've always wanted to get 1 Devil wing and 1 Angel wing of the mags tattooed behind each of my ears. I've also thought about a Sato, but am unsure if I'd want a shoulder blade placement (have other ideas planned)

Are there any meaningful quotes or sayings? To you or memorable from the game? You could put that in PSO font, there are files downloadable online :3 Here is a font pack I've downloaded before, and just downloaded again to confirm. (Just not the one I've been using, thicknesses seem to differ)

There's the meseta symbol with the spinnies in the hunters guild?

I also believe I've seen a much more simplified version of the seal before without the text. And similar;

Just the oval with the 3 dots? I think that may have been part of a loading screen as well if I remember correctly.

Maybe other people will have ideas too cause I can think about stuff all day with PSO tattoos :3 thank u for asking ;~;

Media Log 2024 Entry 18 - ATLYSS - 5/5

An honest game, made by an honest developer.

Unfortunately, because this game is in early access, there isn't much to say. However, what little I can say is entirely praise!

ATLYSS is a fantastic action RPG with super tight, free-flowing combat, fun character building with a variety of strategies, and a world that, so far, is very fun to explore. The vibes are off the charts, too - booting it up really felt like starting an old MMO from the 2000s, like Phantasy Star Online. PSO is an apt comparison, actually - they're both action online RPGs that revolve around smaller, more compact areas than larger areas, though ATLYSS has a proper overworld unlike PSO1.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is also an apt comparison for reasons I will not get into here. Kiseff is very honest.

I have enjoyed my time with ATLYSS immensely, and for a while it was the only video game I played until I'd done basically everything with my first character. It's very easy to just hop in, do a little grinding, maybe poke around in some of the public servers - it's very relaxing for an action RPG. That owes in part to the vibes and sound design for sure: the OST is very ambient in the overworld areas, commonly giving way to simple ambience as you whack slimes with a stick.

Speaking of sticks and your stick options, I really like the three classes! They all feel totally unique with no overlap between them, and they can all be built in different ways within the class itself.

My one gripe with the game is some of the enemies - there are some enemies, notably concentrated in the Crescent Grove, the game's current highest-level dungeon, that are really fucking annoying to fight. Twitchy status-inflicting enemies and huge HP sink enemies that don't get stunned are... certainly the results of game design decisions.

Overall, ATLYSS is a really great time! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an action RPG they can play with friends, horny furry or not. I'm excited to see where the game's going after this, as it's in early access right now. Kiseff, you've done good!
