I am once again reiterating that Leo could and should be a figure skater because what are ice skates if not twin blades? What is dual blade swordsmanship if not a dance-like performance? Using the skates as blades themselves could let Leo make portals be his ice rink no? I rest my case. ⛸️

Chapter 158: That Kawabanga Girl

Again, I love seeing all the delinquents and how they all have their unique style and design. I still can't get over Rin's outfit though, I really hate it lol. Mai, it better not be a metaphor when you said her outfit gets more fabulous the more cheers she gets cuz I need pretty idol outfits for Rin. I wish I can hear Rin sing so I can be distracted from her ridiculous outfit like the people there.

So there's an actual in game reason you can't get lynel weapons anymore??

So I was looking over the monster statues, just examining the design, when I notice something I'd seen but never really twigged:

Those are nuts and bolts. Huh. That's not natural, that's been added on. In fact, you can still see part of the original scratchy lynel horn from botw underneath, even if it has mutated a bit like all the other horned monsters.

See, lynels, with lizalfos in a lesser way, are the only enemies in the game with the intelligence and cunning to forge weapons. A lizal can only manage one boomerang, shield or bow with varying spikes and occasionally repurpose some hylian armour (and often loot anyway), but lynels are capable of creating their own unique metals and using it to completely outfit themselves. Armour, bows, shields, spears, clubs, and swords, complete with sheaths and harnesses and decoration!

But in totk the particularly pointy ones are missing, leaving only shields, armour, and bows. Their weapons were subject to the Decay as well, but instead of trying to use them anyway, what did they do? They broke down their own weapons and repurposed them as enhancements to their own horns! Extra defence and a new devastating attack!

But... For what reason? They could have kept using those weapons just fine, everyone else is! It probably would have been more practical to start attaching things to the end, like the goblins have all started doing (albeit with mixed results, they seem to inordinately favour mushrooms). Why would the most feared enemy in the game feel the need to put more points into defence and intimidation, even sometimes utilising the rock armour?

What would they be feeling the need to so strongly defend from, even to the point of sacrificing huge attack power over it?

...

Link. It's Link.

The 5 nothing hero of hyrule, who built a whole community of speed running, styling on, brutally murdering lynels almost exclusively again and again and again. Moldugas, hinox, talus, they haven't changed a bit! They weren't at the center of every flashy slow mo clip since the first game came out!

But lynels in totk are running scared, they're building bigger horns to look scarier and armour to hide in, because once they need to get their short range weapons out its already over, or maybe link will just stop farming them for top tear weapons XD.

Tldr: unlike other monsters, which have branched out to kidnapping, riding flying monsters and rolling big spiky balls, lynels have gone entirely the other direction in order to try and scare the hero off after the last round of stylish massacres, and attached their old decayed gear to their horns.

Tldr tldr: botw link is the reason you can't get lynel weapons in totk because he scared them too much.

[kaiserouo]

i dreamed of a huge fucking uk gabriel as a boss in 3d maplestory with wf harrow like diamond cross helmet redesign and there's moveable parts for his cross/diamond thing as if he's a fucking robot instead of an archangel while having attack skills as fancy as the style with the bosses in actual 2d maplestory in the recent 5 years but i can't draw them out because of how colorful they are

what the fuck am i saying

Play for Today: Under the Hammer (BBC, 1984)

"So. Tell me what happened."

"Well. It was me. I kicked it."

"Any particular reason?"

"I lost my temper."

"Who with?"

"I was having a... discussion about the painting and things to do with the painting with McClaren, sir, and, uh... it got out of hand."

"And you kicked the painting?"

"Yes, sir."

"Instead of kicking McClaren?"

"Yes, sir."

"I wish you'd kicked McClaren."

"So do I, sir."

Creating a MegaDungeon pt 3 Monsters

Air Cult Elemental, MTG by Kari Christensen

A MegaDungeon without monsters is just a somewhat unusual National Park.

For The Eye, I've been spending a while thinking what kind of creatures could not only survive, but thrive in the unique dungeon environment.

Elementals are an obvious choice, unbothered by the hash weather, no need to eat, can move through the floating islands (or at least the air elementals can), and quite possibly tied into the core mystery of the entire place.

But you can't build a dungeon on elementals alone (or can you) and every dungeon needs a low level monster that's still sapient to provide some early challenge. Goblins, kobolds (lizard or dog), rat men, that kind of thing. I wanted to create my own, a creature you could believe was at home in the Floating Islands, but wouldn't completely dominate them. For some reason the first place my mind went was flying squirrels.

The Bhutan giant flying squirrel

They could glide between the islands, even as bipeds they'd be small, and with how many squirrels there are out there they'd be believable as a nearly inexhaustible swarm. But they wouldn't be the definitive, sapient masters of the dungeon.

That would be the Harpies.

Harpy by Chris Campbell

Harpies, to me, seem like an excellent 'core' to build the dungeon around. They aren't the most numerous creatures in The Eye, nor even the most powerful, but they could be the most influential sapients.

They're considered monstrous enough that no PC would bat an eye at fighting them, but it also wouldn't be that surprising to talk with one. It's believable that they might have a settlement or several inside the eye where the PCs can walk around much like any other town, with only a portion of the harpies being involved. (Kinda like vikings and Scandinavians)

Harpies can also give other inspiration too. If there's tons of harpies around the region of this dungeon, maybe we give everything a intermediate and Greek flavour. Rather than western European castles and ruins around why not more stuff like this?

Ruins of the Temple of Hera

One decision can cascade into a whole host of other ideas

[noirandchocolate]

Anyway Sooga's theme music features bamboo flute but it also has shamisen bars all throughout it and I'm not saying that's necessarily anything but I'm also not saying that it's not anything.

Anyway isn't that something?

[bloomfish]

remember when you would click on someones blog and they'd have """autoplay""" so you'd be forced to listen to some random shitty music while you raced to find wherever the hidden pause button was on their weird sparkly vaporwave theme
