#ex-company

[notasdriedapricots]

I saw someone saying "It's not like I wish them bankruptcy, but-" I do. I do wish them bankruptcy, because they've proven with everything leading up to this point, they're a bad company. I don't say this (only) out of spite or from a place of moral judgement, but from a strategical, objective point of view. They are where they are because of seasons 1 and 2, and because people are or at least were engaged enough to spend money and watch ads in order to continue the story. They had everything to succeed, the concept (which wasn't even theirs, mind you, that was handed to them), the writers, the artists, the programmers... They killed the hen that laid golden eggs to make nuggets. They are dumb.

And I know, okay? I know it's because of something beyond their control having to do with something related to the app not being supported anymore and whatever. That's precisely why I say they're dumb. Because now we feel betrayed; there is no way they found out today this was happening. I have an old computer with old windows and Steam has been letting me know since January it'll stop working next year. I call bullshit. And also, I refuse to believe that, in this day and age, there's no way to salvage the assets and translate the code to not lose everything. Maybe I'm wrong, and there really is absolutely no way, I wouldn't know, but I don't trust them to do even the bare minimum anymore. At least offer to transfer gems to the other app, as a sign of good faith, SOMETHING. Because they really showed their true colours with the losing all your gems thing... Just ask for the email and transfer them, you greedy, despicable creatures.

As a company, they deserve to fail. Because they're dumb. And also I think we should recognize our share of fault here as well; the boycott after they fired the writers and artist lasted less than a fart in a basket, so the signal was "we don't care, we'll keep consuming it regardless".

Personally, even though I stayed away for seasons 4-6 and only returned a couple months ago, I was playing season 7; but I'll stop. I'm not saying anyone should, for the record, it won't change anything and respectfully I don't give a fuck what you choose to do, you do you. I never gave them a penny, but whatever little they're making from me watching ads for gems, I don't want them to have it, if anything at least out of principle. I'll spend that time replaying Lucas' route and recording it.

It's such an incredibly dumb move I honestly still can't believe it.

Well, I guess this is the end then. What a shame, but also not surprised as fusebox has run this game into the ground 💔

what the fuck

[cod-dump]

*Shadow Company + KorTac team up*

Roze: No one wants to hear your opinion every second, old man

Graves: Don’t talk to me that way, young lady

Roze: Ugh, whatever DAD

Graves: *glares at König*

König: Wha- Why are you looking at me??

Graves: Do you not discipline your soldiers? She was not like this when she was a Shadow

König: Discipline- She’s not a child, Graves! Especially not MY child!

Roze: *gasps*

König: No no- You don’t get to be hurt by that!

Roze: *dramatic sob*

König: No-

Graves: Fuck it- I’m taking custody of her again

König: CUSTODY??

Hutch, watching from a distance: Wow… who needs a K-drama when this is our daily?

Horangi: This would make all the K-dramas weep

Hutch, nodding: Would put them out of business

to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money

Larry's random conversarion lines 🍙

Pokémon Masters EX spoilers ahead!

Random conversation 1:

Ever since I met a certain individual, I now find myself gazing up at the sky every once in a while. There's scenery you'll never even notice if you stick to flat, well-trodden paths. Just something I've observed. I don't dislike the vast, clear sky... But I don't think I can reach it. It's nice to know that there's something like that out there, though.

Random conversation 2:

Pasio seems to have many good restaurants. Ah, I'm not asking for specific recommendations, though... I actually enjoy walking around and looking for a place I might like. That's part of the experience. I seek the exceptional only when it comes to food. Pasio has a variety of cuisines to choose from, so it's hard to stick to just one.

Random conversation 3:

(Player), which do you tend to favor: the exceptional or the average? I was thinking of inviting you to have a meal sometime. Casually figuring out your client's preferences is a special skill that you learn as a salaried employee.

Random conversation 4:

Lunchtime is one of the few things that a salaried employee like me can look forward to at work... We can decide whether to spend that precious time eating something familiar or trying out a new restaurant. It's not just about the meal. The decision-making process leading up to it is also something to look forward to.

Random conversation 5:

People, Pokémon... There's no need to overcomplicate things. Nowadays people only seem to want a shock factor. Something weird, something bizarre. When all's said and done, simplicity is strongest.

Random conversation 6:

You don't necessarily have to follow every instruction from your boss. But I pretend to follow them, at least, so I can avoid hassles later on. That's a technique you can use to get by in the workplace. Keep it in mind.

Random conversation 7:

I'm here in this famous tourist spot, but I can't really spread my wings while my boss has her eye on me. I guess I'll do what I usually do on my lunch break and find a spot to Roost...

My Ex-Morning (Trailer)

[melonisopod]

Canto I: Abnos have a theme of "transformation," where they act in stages you need to disarm (heh) to fully get through (the Calendar's 'dormant' phase where you can only attack the Masked Dolls, Ebony Queen's vines you have to detangle, the Golden Apple's first phase before it unleashes its mass of maggots)

Canto II: Abnos are never fought directly, instead have a theme of enslavement/possession. What you fight instead are its 'minions' (Become Strong has the augmented robots, Pink Shoes has possessed corpses and robots, Baba Yaga has the frozen neighbors), only Pink Shoes is properly "neutralized"

Canto III: We technically never see a "straight" Abnormality, instead what are fought are human Inquisitors using EGO suits often Corroded. Kromer is a *weird* case as she is (probably) a human who behaves mechanically like an Abnormality (her lack of SP gauge and what *should* be either manifesting EGO or Distorting, while giving indication of neither)

Canto IV: Abnos all have a theme around tears/sadness/water; So That No One Will Cry is an obvious one just from its name; Brazen Bull who is always seeking water to relieve its suffering; Fairy Gentleman who offers you a glass of Fairy Wine; Shock Centipede, who is either given electric shocks or dropped in a tank of water; and Drifting Fox, the abandoned mutt caught in the rain, with only ragged umbrellas that can't keep it dry.

Canto V: Abnos have a theme around "miniboss sidequests," the main entity being surrounded by targets you have to kill first before you can properly fight the main target. Ambling Pearl has the Slime you have to attack so it can't 'eat' to boost its strength; Skin Prophet has its candles you have to light so that it can see you; Dream-Devouring Siltcurrent has the Flotsam you have to break both to breathe and to have it charge into.

Canto VI: There are no Abnormalities here this is just Heathcliff working out his childhood trauma and relationship problems.

"Will you help him, the little pilot?"

*The faves getting zapped by "Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs beam"* Specks of life, sadness and soul-wretching analysis about the self, will ensue.

Our heroes pack it's composed by: Helga: German Shepherd Clayton: Pointer Sykes: (maybe a bigger dog breed would have been more suited, but I couldn't help but have fun with the more predictable choice) Dobermann Pincher Rourke: Rottweiler

Bursts of creative madness comes in the most unexpected crossovers mmm

May Canto V be yuriful as it is utterly damaging to Ishmael's mental health
