What's this?! Joltik has acquired a multicolored hat and an extra boost in electricity! It looks like it is ready to battle!

Seriously, Joltik looks cute with a mini Stellar crown!

So I have been playing through Limbus Company, and I was wondering where the classic Project Moon vertical difficulty spike was, as I was having a suspiciously easy time progressing through the game, well I'm on Canto 5 now and it's safe to say I have found it.

Shining Force III Scenario 1 (Camelot Software Planning - Sega Saturn - 1997)

comics are great because they’re actually several dozen smaller drawings in a trenchcoat and you can use all of them to procrastinate working on all the other ones

cam mj and angela NEED leah & quinn in this house to take at least one (1) shot at the triplets if they want both a path to f2 and any sort of win equity (well angela is toast but whatever), not getting kimo out maybe benefits chelsie a little but everyone is clearly refusing to think about what happens when they’re on the block or in f2 with one of t’kimobina bc what happens is THEY LOSE

How to kill all of the Pikmin 3 Bosses with ease, aka, how to drop kick six toddlers

Yes, I'm doing one for Pikmin 3, because I also have played this game too much. SHUT, I had quite a while to play this game, and I have learned the ways to beat the shit out of the local six children of this game, aka, the bosses. (Spoilers for Pikmin 3 and it's bosses down below, btw)

FIRST OF ALL, I'm just going to say this once. Unless a boss fight demands you use Rocks, never bring them to a boss fight*, they are ASS at fighting. Bring Reds, trust me.

*There is an ONE exception, and we'll get to them

Armored Mawdad

So this boi is really easy after the first ten seconds. You basically go for the very back of his tail (The tip thing) and break that. He will shake off Pikmin and rest on a wall. Rush the creature with your Pikmin (Reds first) and watch as he gets capped at 1 HP. Then when he comes down again throw one rock at it and dead

Vehemoth Phosbat

Fun fact, you only need to build half of the bridge. No joke, choose which pile you want to bring over. You can put one Captain in the dark to lure the Phosbat over, just keep in mind that you should rush the pile as soon as it starts to try and eat the Captain (It will fail.) Once half of the bridge is built, wait for the Phosbat to try and eat the Captain in the dark again, call them over, throw 20 Yellows and the Captain over and light the room up. From there, you can just bully the Phosbat with the lights you never turned on because yes they still stun the poor bat. GG easy no re.

Sandbelching Meerslug

Easiest boss in the game, like not even by a long shot. The strategy is simple, bring 100 Reds and win. That's it. Just bring 100 (I think 60 should still work, you just got to be more careful), and when the slug does his sink hole thing, RUSH THE MOUTH. It shouldn't kill any Pikmin, and it forces the slug to come up. Bombless and way easier than before.

Scornet Maestro

First of all, why do you need help with this boss. Second, if you are having trouble, just bring another Captain and have the attacks go onto them. Just remember the attacks the Maestro does don't lock in immediately, they can still switch.

Quaggled Mireclops

Alright, you got two options. ONE: Bring 100 Wingeds, and some Spicy-Spray and auto win, or two, Use Blues and Suffer. I suggest the Winged strat, as it's easier and more funny to pull off. Just rush the guy, then rush him again. Also keep an eye on his health as half way, the tonuge attack changes.

Plasm Wraith*

*(THIS IS THE EXCEPTION TO THE ROCK RULE)

ROCKS. This is the only boss fight I'd recommend using Rock Pikmin, for the shear fact that the main attack this Wraith does WILL NOT KILL THEM. The only things that can kill them are the elemental attacks and as long as you don't suck, you should be fine. Rocks can take out Fire and Rock elemental attacks at any time, electricity you gotta be fast, and Water is a don't even try. Other fun facts with this fight, one, if the Wraith is floating, just walk away. If it has nothing to attack, it's forces to land back down, and two, if the Plasm Wraith feels as if it's surrounded, it will walk into one of the elemental attacks. Try to whistle your Pikmin back BEFORE that happens.

You know what? Now that I know I'm not the only one, I kind of want to see how this poll pans out....

Lionel Concept Art

Lionel's concept art! Translation notes and image id under the cut.

Translation notes:

The word I translated as "giantess" seems to be a Japanese slang term for a tall/big woman. I couldn't find it in any dictionary, but I found the term used in a few news articles/internet posts like this one, where it's discussed as a trending conversation on Twitter.

The sound/mimetic word that I translated as "CHHF" was probably something closer to the sound of grating metal, but I wasn't sure how to get that sound across (Cshh? Crshh? Grshh?). The literal translation was probably something like "gu-shaaaa'.

Abacus was actually "soroban", which is the Japanese version of the abacus.

Image id:

[id: Two pages of concept art from Triangle Strategy focused on Lionel. The first page has Lionel's canon portrait, both a colored and uncolored version. There is a note at the bottom that reads, "Ikushima designed that abacus case attached to his waist. It's really cool! (Urushihara Tatsuaki)". On the second page, there is an image of Lionel and a taller woman, who's messing with his hat/head. Lionel is saying, "Hands off, giantess!!" and the woman is saying, "Shut up, you little geezer." There is a note saying "Hats and clothes are the same." There's also a note that points to a close up of Lionel's head that notes that his feather on his cap is only on one side (likely as a note to the pixel artist). There is also a note labeling Lionel as in charge of salt, and the woman in charge of iron. On the bottom half of the page, there are several alternate designs for Lionel. The first has a squarer face and a gold cape, the second has a square face and a red cape, and the third has a longer round face and a brown cape. At the bottom there is an illustrator's note that reads, "Initially, it was an odd couple, a man and a woman. I created the characters with the idea of a stand-up comedy routine in mind. (Tatsuaki Urushihara)" /end id]

two common talking points about non-voting from the left:

1. depriving the Democrats of your vote will show that you will not empower genocide and punish them for doing so

2. the Democrats will not be affected if the Republicans win power because they are the same class

does anyone else see a contradiction in terms here?
