Maybe I'll give it another chance someday... I was thrown off by how clunky it felt and that nightmarish climbing mechanic

Hey Danny, have you just started playing Genshin?

 

[DannyTheDaikon]

Hey Danny, have you just started playing Genshin?

Yep, I gave it a try after being completely hooked on Honkai: Star Rail

yay! I'm trying to like it, but I'm suffering from "but it's not HSR" and "HSR does x better" so I kinda gave up on it. Maybe I'm gonna give it another try

 

[Simple_Russian_Boi]

so anyone want to play co-op in genshin? (UID: 601796225)(just know it's in the american server)(and i'm still online inside genshin)

Ah. American servers. My only weakness!

Well, Genshin is quite fun even though there are some things that I find less interesting, but it's quite fun, especially if you ignore the existence of Paimon

But paimon is emergency food!

I'm quite surprised that you have weaknesses, my friend. I thought you were an absolute beings who had absolutely none
concept of weakness

 

[DannyTheDaikon]

Seeing how both you and Midnight talk about Paimon I'm guessing it's not getting better in this regard I'll probably give it another shot... Maybe it'll get better once the game opens

 

[SsemouyOnan]

Ssemouy...
*blesses you with +50 intellegence*

*Immediately reallocates intelligence to other stats*

Why would you eat those knives?

I wanted to be like those sword swallowers, but with knives

 

[SsemouyOnan]

I've only played Genshin until around the release of Sumeru. Reached AR 56, pretty fun until the novelty wore off. I'm impartial towards Paimon

 

[Simple_Russian_Boi]

What absolute being? I'm just a simple Russian boi!

*Immediately reallocates intelligence to other stats*

Motherfu-

[Guinaifen approves]

*Immediately reallocates intelligence to other stats*

is resistance to talk-no-jutsu one of them?

 

[SsemouyOnan]

Motherfu-

INT is my dump stat

[Guinaifen approves]

I've been too busy to play HSR beyond dailies for a while now... looks like I won't make it in time for the event's end...

is resistance to talk-no-jutsu one of them?

Is that a stat?

Downloading progress 63% ATM...

Are you missing anyone important from the list?

Is that a stat?

Have no idea

I was planning on writing a response from Heroine Ssemouy's perspective... but I don't even have the Villainess chapter done. At this point it'll probably be a retrospective chapter, but that's fine with me too.

It's a pity, but I'll come to terms with it. Take all the time you need.
I'll patiently wait for your chapter, as little George says, "it will be ready when it's ready."
A retrospective wouldn't be bad, or even an additional alternative timeline. We can always find a way to make it all add up.
After all, I'd read anything you write, even an instruction manual.
Especially Seymour's...

Mm... I consider decline in quality a skill issue or a result of stress from needing to keep regular releases rather than a negative of a character-driven plot.

Ouch, that hits hard... but i can't really argue with that...

It'll be wiped off the face of the planet at the same time as Britain, as with due process.

I won't shed tears for perfidious Albion, but I would feel sorry for Lady Nahrenne.

Heads up, you might not want to go browsing for memes and references too much. They contain a lot of spoilers, which reduce the impact of certain points in the story. I unintentionally got spoiled by a meme and it basically ruined the ending of a certain Canto for me.... Though Lobotomy Corp and Library of Ruina references are fair game, I doubt you'll be playing them(way too grindy).

I haven't read Demian either, so I can't say much.

I will carefully avoid them then. If I may, I'll use you as a source of information about the game, especially since I'm mainly interested in the story, and having it spoiled by random memes would be a shame. So, I'm counting on you.
I don't like games that are too grindy; Sadly I don't have the time. However, I'll keep them in mind if I really enjoy Limbus Company.

One of the lovely things about the game is that basically every single game mechanic has an in-lore explanation. Both the gacha pulls and dungeon grinding both have in-lore explanations... hell, even levels do.

It's the right way to design a video game, especially those with a strong narrative. Even mechanics can be narrative; developers often forget this, and the game and story feel like two separate entities. Metanarrative lies in being able to use all fields to tell a story:music, gameplay, images, etc.

Yep, I resonate a lot with Don for reasons you will figure out in the story. I liked Faust second best... at the start of the game, now it's a toss-up between her and Meursault.

I have high expectations. For now, also due to the similarity with the voice of the voice actress, she reminds me of Nero from Fate.

***

So I downloaded Limbus Company on Steam as well because I wanted to activate the crossplay feature (by the way, I still haven't quite figured out how to do it; I saw a post on Twitter, but it's a convoluted system).
I tried pulling on the Walpurgisnacht banner both on the app and on Steam.
On Steam, I got a 000 Sinclair identity. I don't think that's what you were referring to. But he seems strong.

Spoiler

Also a very cute 00 Faust maid...

On the phone, I only got 00 identities and an EGO for Ishmael.

Sadly, no identity in either account for Don.

Which of the two accounts should I keep?
I sent you a friend request with the Steam account.

Eternal dreams happen to be a reoccuring theme in my stories... and it's not even intentional!

For me as well, even though I use them as a metaphor for the afterlife. By the way, an idea that's been swirling in my head for some time leverages this concept in a sort of digital cemetery where the dead are connected in a virtual world.

 

[MatchaChocolate69]

I like it~

I would have never hoped for this! I'm really glad you like it.

It's an exercise to help me keep my perfect Daikon shape I have to be nice and round as daikon

Well done, Ane-san! I also had a heavy training session today. Maybe I overdid it; my muscles are burning, but I'm very satisfied. I feel great, though. If I weren't so lazy, I should do it more often.

*nom*
Happy Easter!

Happy Othodox Easter!

*swallows the knives*

Do you by any chance want to break my record?

While we're drinking tea, singing songs and stabbing people, Shizuki is fighting fockin Demons.

Reading the messages in sequence, I almost choked from laughing! Shizuki is really funny, which is why she's one of my favorite characters to write.

Spoiler

Wrapped in biting wind
Hearts will never bleed
Frozen and banished
Out of grief

In their restless dreams
They try so hard to breathe
Pulses flutter and sting
Within this bleakness

Pain will come with the blade
Pain will wake up the despondent crowd in this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe a sword not to kill
Unsheathe a sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up, it's time to gather now

The only warmth remains
In hands clasped so tight
The only fire exists in brave hearts
Seasons that refuse to change over the years
Will find their way back
Back on track

We've made a choice, go fight against your fate!
Pain will come with the blade
Pain will wake up the despondent crowd in this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe a sword not to kill
Unsheathe a sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up, it's time to gather now

Forget about the rules written on weathered rock
There were chasers of light
Find the way or get lost
We have no way to know where they all headed for
See the light from afar, just blaze through the thorns
We know it's right over there
We have something to declare
Whatever is arriving, we'll be prepared

We've made a choice, go fight against your fate!
Pain will come with the blade
Pain will wake up the despondent crowd in this dormant world somehow
Unsheathe a sword not to kill
Unsheathe a sword to rend those clouds above the ground
Wake up to hear the cheering sound

So good, I loved that Boss Fight.

yay! I'm proud of you Matcha-kun! Intense workout shouldn't happen too often, so it's better to have some time to recover Ane-san is very proud of you

I should workout too, but unfortunately my gf passed a cold on me, so now I'm dying too much to work out

So good, I loved that Boss Fight.

It was great humu humu Did you reach Xianzhou yet? The bossfight there is really good too, actually all of the bossfights are so good in this game
