ToN
personal too
FormerRei@mobile
Should I play all the games to get the whole story or are some of them redundant?
ToN
some of the games summarize the previous ones like continuum shift extend has a shortened calamity trigger story and chronophantasma has summaries of ct and cs
ToN
youll miss out on smaller stuff and fun scenes, but might have a chance of understanding the plot, but honestly understanding blazblue's plot is a massive headache and even after reading a detailed digest from someone who seems really well informed I only kind of get it
ToN
also Izanami is a spoiler among other characters
Anno
izanami is great would date
Anno
my favorite girl is probably jin
Anno
it's kinda hard b/c the best character designs on the girls tend to have the least appealing characteristics for me i really really like bullet's design, demeanor, and moves but she's kind of a dick and a nobody in the story i think noel is really cute but she's also really broken and it'd be hard to to pursue anything romantic with her she's more of an imouto-type i guess i hate mai b/c fatal counter 5C can lead to 2-3k by mashing C and that's honestly bullshit makoto is top-tier makoto is probably my the most dateable blazblue
Terumi would probably make a really shitty friend but would be the most fun person to go drinking with whereas Ragna would probably be a really valuable friend but would probably be boring as fuck to hang out with Jin probably wouldn't want to hang out and he'd probably refuse to ever play blazblue with you Hakumen would probably be pretty cool when you can get him to calm down about justice and shit Tsubaki is probably kind of bitchy and annoying most of the time but i bet she's fun at parties
PANrela
tsubaki dog shit tier absolute worst character
Anno
damn she's hella flawed but idk about that
PANrela
pretty much vtuber tier

I compare blazblue and umineko in my brain because they're both complicated stories filled with characters whose plots make my head hurt but have kickass music and are good at hype

But Umineko's story isn't that complicated. Ambiguous, sure, but not complicated.

His Japanese name is literally Tanukichi, which is Tanuki with just a generic ending to a male Japanese name slapped on. So yeah, a play, but a good few degrees less subtle than Justin Beaver.

Not the most astonishing view, but my brother's apartment does get a slim look towards the downtown skyline. It's a nice apartment though. I should probably take up the offer to house-sit it while my brother and his girlfriend take up residency at my parents' cottage.

Well speaking as someone in the fold, ignoring stats and meta building, I think there's something inherently interesting about artificial races practicing things like magic or being a bard, which draws on creative themes you normally don't associate with, y'know, robots. Kind of similar to the dichotomy of a Gnome Barbarian or something. Mosto -Most of the tabletop races are pretty human, even the more fringe ones like Dragonborn still usually assume some pretty human-poi features to them. But robots don't fit neatly into that "Yeah I could still call this humanoid" since they're not organic creatures in the first place. And I think that gets some people's brain's tickling at giving them weird occupations. Dunno though.
Yeah robogirls are cute And unique characters are good so Michiru is both cute and good
PANrela
i picked it because the racial fit into the shonen protag meme lee was designed around
Anno
Yeah I'm kind of running with the assumption that PK's player is probably more like me and built the character as a creative concept rather than a mechanical one. Mostly because I can't fathom elsewise why you'd mix Forgeborn and Bard together.
I hope I get enough chances to playtest them out with or against my players ofc I will actually have to make the character pdf at some point Might post it to the site for others to use, if I like it enough

ofc it will prolly be renamed to something like "blood mage" etc instead of combat maid, heh

most what I am worried about is the points at low level the class really doesn't have many to use, and at high level it will be in 30+ range
ofc, the class feature is, that you don't regain points except through abilities. full heal doesn't bring back points, only blood

This person in an adjacent apartment is coughing every 4 or 5 seconds for the last three hours straight it's consistent and at the same intervals every time no breaks or anything it's like that every morning
i just have very sharp hearing it's not the wall's fault
i thought about sickness too but it has been going on a while and not getting worse i think they just wake up and smoke a lot of weed right away it sounds like a weed cough
When I lived briefly with my brother, that house had thin enough walls to hear coughing and such >energy efficient houses, we build thin walls so we can save on ventilation >and it will be fucking freezing during winter to make it all nill Who the fuck approved of that plan, I do wonder
I can hear a lot of the sounds in this apartment complex, but it's not too distressing. None of it's too bothersome, just sounds of daily living. One person practices their guitar. Someone stays up late and talks a lot with people. The family below me has a toddler, who is very precious, but often cries. The mom is really attentive to it though, so never for long at once.
Yeah, when people close the main door or the stairways it's very audible. behind their own doors, it's much more muffled, but i can still make it out. my hearing is very sensitive and i try to wear protective hearing as often as possible noise-cancellers or earplugs
I hear showering and bathing from one or two appartments above me, noises that resonate through the piping and heat piping and then when some stuff falls on floor directly above me, which is damn weird property of all finnish legobuildings and then ofc the stairway corridor sounds, since that is right next to me too
in this zoom call there's someone named Dr. Goldsmith and every time someone says their name i think they're talking to me until they finish saying the name

Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
someone on twitter is suggesting that you may be able to direct LRAD back towards the operators using a corner reflector
partially propably but at that rate quite a lot of its force has disperesd I think it has >Small spherical "point-source" acoustic devices follow the known inverse square law, which predicts the loss of 6 decibels (dB) per doubling of distance from the source, solely due to geometric spreading and whatever you use to reflect it back, will most likely disperse it completely
and I doubt that the weapon would have an easily counterable solution

>>846837 it's not really about 'retiring' so much as you don't have to worry about calculating taxes on your roth IRA since you aren't taxed until you take the money out. and if you're using the money to buy your first home, that's supposedly untaxed as well. I need to read up more on how that works but that's what i've been told about it. I need to funnel money into one myself.

is it really? damn... i made some mistakes >boeing peaked at 370 in 2019 aaaa... life is too cruel
>>846846 yeah, my friend was explaining it to me saying that you 'triple down' on your taxes since you aren't paying on your roth ira, aren't paying it when you use it for the house, and something about the debt on your house also lowering the amount you pay in taxes? Probably some kind of tax reduction on paying the loan down?
I'll have to do some research into it. I should have a big payday coming soon since the courts are moving again and I'll get paid for some work I did in February. I'll have some money to play with (although if I fuck it up I won't be able to pay rent in a few months lol)

yes, but it's more like thry don't ususlly give you shit for it but you aren't ment to do it
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
wtf if you do that here you automatically get a gun pulled on you

>>846938 cop trusts you to be a good customer, you trust cop not to america you simple as
Anno
Honestly as a white guy I could probably do that here too. Sure like it probably breaks etiquette and would put the officer in a weird mood but like, I can't imagine they'd demand I get in back in the car.
Would not expect that same grace to extend to people of colour though.
!C0.PerkELE
i mean here the outrage when cop shoots someone is usually "do it sooner a d why are they getting in trouble aftet saving lives" cause each and every use of firearms gets investigated and judged was it necesary last big case was a shot to the leg when a guy was stabbing his wife to death on a high way
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you basically get investigated for not shooting here
although honestly every time ive actually needed a cop they didn't show up and had to handle things myself
Anno
Like the presumption on the officer's side here if they're pulling you over is that you're not armed, unless they 're chasing you because you committed some kind of incriminating offense. So if anything, I'd argue you getting out of the car is more ideal for resolving the situation because you can't just floor your car to get away. And what, you're gonna punch a cop over a driving offense? In what world is that a smart response to the situation?
>>846946 i somehow think usa mever got the idea of trust build society, when it comes to institutions
Anno
>>846947 If there's "actual research" I'd wager it's entirely that it's a lot harder for people to not be intimidated by the police when they're stuck sitting in their car, usually lower to the ground, than the officer standing over their car's window. And that intimidation implied compliance. Can't have two people standing eye-to-eye in a traffic dispute, that's almost assuming that the officer and the civilian are on equal footing.
!C0.PerkELE
i still rememver when i first got pulled over had had my license for maybe a month the cop car had been tailing me for 10-15 minutes at that point and i was around 50m from my home when they finally signalled me to stop
they should just be able to hail your frequency like a space ship
Anno
>>846956 Solid, yeah. A total dick move? Also yeah
!C0.PerkELE
o dunno i'll rather not get off my arse, sit in the car show my license and do the breath analyzer and be on my way without ever getting out of the car
>>846959 I'm not going to enjoy being in a cramped space like a car with someone looming over me. Like I'm not even all that tall to begin with so it's not like 90% of officers are going to suddenly be dwarfed by me if I get out. But in that situation at the least I have open space behind me. It makes me more comfortable, which HONESTLY would do miles for my peaceful compliancy than being intimidated. Plenty of people get tetchy rather than submissive when intimidated, whilst people who are made comfortable tend to be by far more content to comply positively.

I didn't sleep Thursday night and slept from 1pm to around 6 I spent a wwhwhie watching the science channel and got takeout from a restaurant i like a lot I also played guilty gear for a bit and have been on /v/ a lot Still haven't tried to fall asleep yet D&D is likely canceled because the DM is sick so I haven't felt the need to go to sleept at err goto sleep yet Oh no I used a goto
I want to sleep But I don't know if I'll be able to fall asleep anytime soon I'll probably get off my phone and try sleeping in the next thirty minutes or so.
FormerRei@mobile
Often late at night wen i should be sleeping my brain is going like a mile a minute aaand i can't relax. I'm thinking about all the stuff I was thinking to do after I get up and then so the next few days. And other stuff

My sister was supposed to take it over to MIT (while she was in Boston for uni) and get it signed by sussman and ableson but she nneer did *never ;_;
I donnnn't think so. It bears some resemblance to the roundabout out front the Museum of Art but that's not the museum next to it. The fountain and pool surrounding it doesn't strike me familiar though.

i think we might have driven past that i don't remember being close to any of those big buildings with the columns in philly
Yeah I'm not recognizing the architecture there, nor the company signs on the buildings either. Might be neat to track the spot down next time we're there though.
Yeah it's definitely not that kind of show. Koisuru Asteroid was last season's Doga Kobo's Cute Girls Doing Geoscience Things show which was pretty nice.
what was that one that was going to be like a SoL isekai?
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
that's pretty vague
Anno
Yeah. Uh, Isekai Shokudou is kind of SoL-y but is instead about a guy and the ... demon girl I think? he hires that runs a Japanese eatery whose front door opens at times into locations in a fantasy world. It's not really CGDGT-y but it's quite nice and relaxing.

yea ranking things out of 10 is incredibly subjective and says more about the person doing the ranking than the anime
at my last job we used this system to somewhat approximate a x/10 score into something useful if you give a 9 or 10 its good 6 or less its shit that's it

>>847072 Took way too long well not the boss fight, but to get there the boss fight took about as long as I imagined
but I didn't get to really mess up with the players, due to 1) the roll20 fucking up with escalation die randomly TWICE, having 4 rounds TWICE without escalation die, due to weird bug 2) me punishing players for their bad luck and actions with SWAMP PUNISHMENT
!C0.PerkELE
Split reality: The eidolon splits the party into different realities. Each player rolls a d4 for their character. That PC can only perceive and interact with the eidolon and with other characters who rolled the same number. That means PCs in different realities can’t communicate or affect each other in any way. For the rest of the battle, each player rolls a d4 at the start of the round to see which reality their character is now in. At the start of each round, the eidolon can choose which version(s) of reality its allies are in. Warp time: At the start of each round two combatants swap places in the initiative order as determined by the eidolon. Alternately, the eidolon warps the momentum of the battle and the escalation die value is determined at the start of the round with a d6 roll. Reshuffle space: The eidolon swaps the position of two creatures in the battle at the start of the round. Alternately, if you are using minis and some sort of map tiles you can rearrange the tiles with the minis still on them.
I really wanted to isolate the party and pick up one or two of them only one that I isolated was the NPC companion...
but GOD am I irrateted ar the random bugs >escalation die->escalation so escalation DIDN'T WORK IN FUCKING 5 ROUNDS of a FIGHT THAT SHOULD HAVE ENDED IN LIKE 3
and then the next encounter after that ESCALATION GETS STUCK TO 1 FOR 3 ROUNDS
what the fuck

I think my dm did a tesseract dungeon once. Maybe not They've definitely done non Euclidean space dungeons on multiple occasions though.
Okay I guess tgats ssort of non Euclidean But I meant like hyperbolic geometry Oh one of the other things I was thinking of that my dm did was a dungeon where the rooms were connected like stuff on a 4D structure. So still Euclidean but not 3d.
This forest they started at the upper most corner upper left corner the mid left path led to the right path the right up path would lead to the uppest most left path and so on with some additional maps added in between
guess who forgot their little sister's birthday this faggot
Anno
Oh no I hope she's not too upset over it. Better late than never though.

she doesn't give a fuck lol Tyler is visiting for her birthday so she's plenty happy

i dug four bucks out of my jacket and was like happy birthday buy yourself something nice and she was like yaay I'm gonna get a soda from the vending machine at work lol

I have actually forgotten my sister's birthday despite us being tins. *twins
JaPAN
haha that's great
Anno
My dad's birthday is five days earlier than mine and mine's on Christmas so it's a nice square number to remember. My brother's is the same date of a different month. My mother's is today and my first younger sister's is the same number of that day but in the month and then the date is double the month. The only birthday in my family I have a difficult time remembering is my imouto's because there's no easy way to link it by association to anything. I think it's November sixth or eighth.
Anno
My problem is I never have birthdays loaded in my conscious memory. I could tell you any of these birthdays when asked but it's easy for it to slip my mind the day of because I'm not actively remembering whose birthday is when.

Pull a Star Wars and make a Clony army

From what I've heard even the basic army training teaches better de-escalation procedure than police training down there.

cops are literally allowed to commit acts that would be war crimes under the Geneva Convention

such as shooting medical personnel attending to an opposing force or gassing crowds with biological weapons
