On March 11, 1984, the last "Star Wars" newspaper strip ran. ("The Final Trap" story arc, Star Wars, Newspaper Strip, Event)

[thefirstknife]

Did the Cosmodrome leg of the finding Archie quest as soon as it dropped, like many others did, and was very hype to see the references to D1, including the vandal himself, Randall.

I was in fact so excited that it wasn't until this afternoon when my girlfriend ran it that I noticed that Archie's presents so far have something in common. She asked me what the deal was with the spinfoil hat, and I explained what it meant as a community term, and that it was also a random discardable drop back in D2 year 1. My specific phrasing was "yeah, it's a community play on Tinfoil Hat, usually for wild conspiracy fan theories with no evidence. It was also a random drop for doing bounties... from...... Cayde. It was a Cayde thing.... like the ramen ticket."

At which point, I walked out of Ada's room, looked over to Archie and just kinda.

"Hey buuuuuddy? You lookin for somethin out there little man?'

Not to go all 'OMG CAYDE!!!' (partly because that's a thing that's been driving me up the wall for years to the point that I'm still not sure how I feel about his return) but I gotta wonder if we're gonna get a teaser in game about him leading up to FS. Might be a cool way to get new players a little more up to speed on why this is A Thing.

Anyways, the way I figure it is once is an accident, twice is coincidence, three times is a pattern. So until next week I'm not quite ready to squash the helpfully provided spinfoil hat onto my noggin just yet, but part of me is hoping Archie finds us an ascendant artichoke in the next few weeks.

Oooh that's interesting. I noted the ramen ticket, but the tinfoil hat I forgot about. It just seemed like something jokey to put in as the item. I'll definitely pay attention for the next week's item. It genuinely might be a cheeky little easter egg hint.

Either way, I love the Archie quest. It's really fun and cute and gets you sightseeing a bit. And the items?? With the text that if you dismantle them, Archie will be sad? And if you do dismantle them, a sad Archie noise plays?? EVIL. I can't delete them now. But you'd have to if you're doing the quest on your other characters. So now I can't do it again. I can't delete the items and make Archie sad!

Destiny 2: Relief Through Grief

[doom-nerdo-666]

MetaDoom explained part 3, check this tag to catch up.

Weapons:

MetaDoom has a lot of fun toys. Some of them have designs meant to mix up different designs and elements of certain weapons.

Some also have alt fires as a nod to D4 and to make things more interesting. There's also randomization rules where for you to pick up X, you must get Y first except for the melee weapons for some reason. Also, when switching weapons, it’s a bit quicker when they’re the same slot

FIST:

Has its own keybind as is a simple move that makes enemies drop health pick ups when punched, as in D4 fashion

1st slot: EGM SIDEARM:

Pistol whose design sort of resembles D3 and 4

Has infinite ammo and shoots laser instead of bullets

Alt fire is a lantern, which could resemble D3 BFG edition but it's actually based off D3's duct tape mod (Or at least Xbox version of D3RoE)

Menu option turns off intinite ammo, so it uses bullets as ammo, obviously

2nd slot: COMBAT SHOTGUN:

D64 look but still has a normal reloading animation

Alt fire is D4's grenade shot, costing 4 shells

Drops shell casings.

2nd slot: HOLY WATER PISTOL:

From D2RPG

Main fire deals low damage but makes most foes cry and run like cowards, while instantly killing LS's (Originally, it just stunned them and dealt more damage on LS's and maybe Archies too but less on zombies, but i might be wrong)

Second alt fire refills your health but wastes more water

To refill its ammo, just stand on most liquid textured floors (Originally it was filled with water tanks/fountains and using toilets)

When you refill with water, you may heard a sound that is RPG related

Has its own bindable key

3rd slot: SUPER SHOTGUN:

Has D2's design but with different sprites, animations and Doom Eternal’s meathook, which seems based off the Doom alpha/beta bayonet rifle blades and painted gold

Primary fire is the same

Secondary fire shoots the meat hook and if it hits an enemy, they’re stunned and the hook brings the player to said enemy, which has a lot of traversal potential

Meathook has time based delay if successfully used, hence the lights in the weapon indicating how much time left

If you miss, you can shoot it again

It also works on UV co-op players

The movement itself is not as complex or “web slingy” as Eternal’s

Meathook can also bring some gameplay breaking issues at times, so be considerate

Can show up in Doom 1 sometimes, by replacing Shotty placement

Drops shell casings

3rd slot: FIRE EXTINGUISHER:

Doom RPG weapon that can put up Lost Souls, fireball projectiles and even flames/fires from certain props

Second fire can save you from Archvile's fire attack (I think originally it was mainly used to put up fires blocking paths and deal more damage on LS's and Archies)

Has its own bindable key

4th slot: ASSAULT RIFLE:

Doom 3's machine gun, which sort of resembles classic Doom's chaingun, but apparently it fires one tick faster, due to complaints of it sounding weak

Alt fire is D4's micromissiles, which wastes a lot of ammo and they have a short delay when sticking to enemies before exploding

Drops bullet casings

4th slot: CHAINGUN:

Design mostly represents D64 and 3, but painted blue

Primary fire is obvious, more damage at the cost of waiting times (I thnk it also uses a beta D3 sound)

Second fire: D4's turret mode, unleashing three barrels to do more damage at the cost of ammo (It also prevents you from walking instead of just walking slowly)

Drops bullet casings

5th slot: ROCKET LAUNCHER:

Design represents D1, 64 and 3

Firing sound is Eternal related and fused with 3 firing sound

Alt fire is from D4, detonating rockets in mid air that can drop fragments that deal damage (Based off an upgrade for this alt fire in the game)

5th slot: GRENADE LAUNCHER:

A weapon from D4's multiplayer DLC

Like a traditional GL, its grenades either bounce around and explode shortly after or explode on impact with enemies

Second fire is a gas grenade, that drops short lasting gas, that continues to hurt enemies (Or sometimes you)

Grenade sprites may be Duke Nukem related, while the green cloud is probably from Hexen

In D4, the official GL shoots a harmless smoke bomb but D4's MP has a Plasma Rifle whose alt fire is an harmfull energy floor like a Cybermanc attack

6th slot: PLASMA RIFLE:

Design and sounds represent classic Plasma gun and D3/4 (Could resemble all versions, actually)

Has no recoil

The screen on the weapon shows bars being filled when firing, this is so when they're full, you can use the alt fire

When each bar is filled, there’s sounds from Eternal being used

Alt fire is D4's heat wave, which seems to be composed of stronger Plasma balls than a simple Plasma wave

It also affects your surroundings in a 360 degree angle, something that 2016’s heat wave did but not Eternal

6th slot: LIGHTNING GUN:

D4 multiplayer weapon, whose primary fire is a string of electricity that shocks enemies and wastes a bit more ammo

Alt fire is borrowed from the Plasma gun in D4, which is a harmless projectile that stuns enemies

6th slot: GAUSS CANNON:

D4 weapon, that is pretty much a Quake Rail Gun, kinda

Design sort of represents the original BFG9000 or at least early sprites and the toy they used for it

Primary fire even has that spiral effect from Q2 and Skulltag

Second fire is just a scope for the sake of balance and maybe a page taken from the Vortex Rifle (Its design still resembles one of the Gauss Cannon's alt fires)

If you're too close, it can cause splash damage and hurt you

7th slot: BFG 9000:

Design represents D64 and 4

Uses separate ammo from Plasma gun (Argent core)

Main fire may deal a bit more damage than usual and the projectile can damage enemies nearby, as inspired by D3/4

Second fire is a stream of BFG balls based off an unused BFG fire (It can even bounce on floors/ceilings) but there's no red projectiles

7th slot: UNMAKER:

Doom 64's hellish weapon whose design also represents the Reaper (D4 multiplayer DLC) and because it's originally nameless, it's technically nicknamed after a Doom bible weapon

Like the original, it starts off as an odd cousin of the Plasma rifle, but once you pick up the demonkeys, it fires faster and gets to shoot three projectiles at once (Though it may not be entirely faithfull, at least if you look at that video by Decino or the ClassicDOOM channel)

Said demonkeys can spawn next to BFG/Unmaker spots and in D64 maps (Consolation Prizes), they're where they're supposed to be

Demonkeys also unlock and upgrade an alt fire, where you charge up 1 to 3 laser beams

7th slot: SOULCUBE:

Doom 3's magic cube whose design is based off Doom 2's spawn cube and it smoothly shakes on screen when used

Once picked up, enemies start dropping "soul essance" and you need at least 10 of those to make the weapon work (May be based off D4's MP mode called Soul Harvest)

Once you got 10 souls, you can use the Cube to instantly kill one enemy and they'll drop ammo/health/armor like in D4 fashion

Despite being a BFG replacement, it can replace chainsaw in rare occasions (E2M5, Map 10)

Has its own bindable key

8th slot: CHAINSAW:

It's design and sounds mostly resemble later designs but it's technically just a yellow chainsaw, so it may not matter that much

Primary fire is the same, while second is just a strong and slow swing attack

Press the FIST key and you get an attack that makes enemies drop health goodies

8th slot: FIRE AXE:

Doom RPG's axe, which normally had a black head and yellow handle, but who cares

Primary/second fire: Slow melee attack that makes enemies bleed and drop health for a while, but zombie types die instantly

Can destroy barrels without exploding them, this can be usefull

[ioannemos]

[wizardouxie]

Any fluffy head cannons and/or facts abt post-redemption Douxie and Ash Dispersal Pattern?? -M.H. Anon

Heyo!! I missed you :((

He goes on a Star Wars movie marathon with Ash Dispersal Pattern

Would give his life for Chewbacca, R2-D2, and the Ewoks no joke

Mixed feelings about the scene between Ben and Han Solo in the new series... if you know, you know

Wonders why he never thought of turning his staff into a lightsaber

Though it’s probably for the best that he didn’t know at the time

By the end of the last movie everyone is asleep except for him and he pulls a blanket over them

He is Ruthless at chess

Demolishes the old people in the park without mercy

He teaches Jim how to play chess when the trollhunter remarks that he used to pretend to be in the club in order to keep his identity a secret

Jim gets almost as good as him tbh, the strategist in him is strong

But he sets the kid up by teaching him a weakness that he could exploit cuz he’s mean like that lmao

Considers touchscreen devices magical

Seriously how the heck does it do that

He could spend hours just tapping the same app and seeing the transition from home screen to the app screen

Archie has to pry the device away from him because he’s obsessed

Big Mistake

If there’s an Arcadia Oaks adaptation of the game Candy Crush, I hope he never finds it

Meets Zoe at Hex Tech because ultimately he does break the stupid tablet

She squints at him and asks him how on earth he broke it

He gets super defensive and is like ‘what does it matter to you just fix it’

And she’s like ‘lmao with that attitude? not a chance’

He stares at her and then gives in saying sorry and she smirks...

He is going to wipe that smirk off her face just you watch

He likes to accidentally spill water on Karens when he’s a waiter

Come on it’s not his fault he’s so clumsy and definitely not his fault they’re so infuriating

He just drops off a stack of napkins and smiles smugly at Archie who nods in approval

Always ready to comfort his worried manager

“Ahhh there goes another customer! We’re going to lose business,” 

“They talked crap about the food which our chefs work hard to make, I’d hardly call them a customer.”

fic reading asks: d2, c4, and b3?

B3. What’s the best device to read on (phone, laptop, tablet…)? Why?

The easiest is my phone, it fits perfectly in my tiny hand, I'm generally already on it when I run into a fic, and I can't see the scroll bar to judge if this is a good idea to read at this time or not. Not that that generally stops me, but still. If I want to leave a comment though, definitely my laptop, I need to jump between the fic and my google doc, which is a bitch to do on my phone.

C4. What thing that fandom loves do you actually kind of hate? Why?

I don't know if this is a love thing, but it is a tendency. Fics where the Riverdale parents are substantially better or worse than they actually are drive me up the wall, as do asshole!Archie fics, although those are really rare now. But yeah, I have a very specific range of asshole and terrible parent each Riverdale parent needs to fall into, and if there's no explanation for why they fall outside that range, I get twitchy and sometimes avoid or even ditch the fic.

D2. Who/Where did you get your last fic rec from?

Hm, generally by the time a rec list makes its way around, I've already read, tried to read, or decided against reading everything that shows up on it. Let's see...I think it might have been @heartunsettledsoul's rec for the devil's daughter by meditationonbaal right when it first came out?
