Apparently we need to wait for Monday before the gates open


Only these two emojis?

I guess beggars can't be choosers, but there are so many other blobs missing, like the glorious guy with the raised sword and the sushi blobs... I guess I'll have to make do.
Uwah, really?

Don't tell Aaqil and BernKatstel then. (I would include Shizuki... but I doubt she cares about being the cutest unless it's Boi saying it)
Both have their charm, Aaqil is sweet, tender, and cuddly, BernKatsel is 70% dark chocolate with sudden candied bits. You are both things. No offense to Shizuki, but she's not even in the competition... There is only one other cat that could perhaps approach your cuteness.
Okay, here's a collapsing neutron star! >_o - ?

It is different, I have to make something that makes sense for the SHHS lore, after all. The thing that allows Humans to exist outside of the Droplets is a Spark, which grants them all their godlike abilities, and it's granted a name describing a power unique to them. I believe the Heroine's is the Spark of Imagination? Though that's only tentative. Ssemouy is never supposed to have one though, and it may or may not have been forced upon her by a certain someone.
Finally, here I find the inspiration! The Spark is indeed the characteristic that allows planeswalkers to travel between planes in the Magic: The Gathering multiverse, which would have an incredible lore if it weren't poorly managed by incompetent writers who lack courage and are unaware of their audience. An IP mistreated, but with a lot to draw inspiration from. I remember you mentioned these particular powers in a thread, and they immediately caught my attention.
Would that certain someone be Matcha or Seymour?
Thank you, but I couldn't really call it original. It was inspired by a crack theory on Youtube about the Dreamlands about the Lovecraft Mythos. It said something like "Everyone exists in the Dreamlands, and beings in the material plane are just them existing as actors. They forget everything, so that's why they experience madness confusion whenever they see things outside of it - because they aren't supposed to see things akin to their true selves."
I also play lore videos from various IPs in the background, and I draw inspiration from them.
I'm convinced that your version is defined and unique enough to be considered original. A rich and imaginative fantasy, a unique journey that you have developed with great detail, and I imagine it wasn't easy to put it all down in writing. This is a talent you definitely have; I've understood that from my interactions with you.
The whole is original in its entirety, and it's something that cannot be replicated in the same way by anyone else.
After all, it's not the fabric that makes the suit, but the one who has skillfully embroidered and assembled the parts using their creative thinking.
So that's why you voted for me in the who deserves to be in jail thread...
No, absolutely not...I would never want to imprison you... ahem.
I believe that's what the keys were originally mapped to? You changed spacebar to pause though.
I'm discovering things as I go. The interface and tutorials aren't exactly user-friendly, very old-school in their approach, and that's part of its charm, I must say.
Yep, the scene with Don completely changing her tone of voice was also memorable... which makes me question things since all of her fixer IDs become the director of an association. Do tell me what you think of Rodya once you finish the Canto.
Yes I remember well that change in tone of voice, I thought "Oh shit, here we go again." kind of like when she shatters the glass with SUENO IMPOSIBLE at the beginning of CANTO 3...
I really liked the way Rodya handled the game.
Dostoevsky is definitely one of my favorite authors, so I immediately took a liking to Rodion/Rodya as a character, and it's commendable how they interpreted and twisted the original story while maintaining its original sense.
Showing the extremes to which idealism can lead is definitely my cup of tea, the conflict between interventionism and pragmatism, between acting and deliberating. The clash between social classes is also a theme that never runs out of things to write and talk about. Moral dilemmas are the fuel of great stories, especially the regrets that come afterward. So I appreciated CANTO II, except that... yes, the ending is lackluster, as you said.
You can't entice me like that and then leave me without resolution, not even a decent boss fight... I mean, the boss fight is completely missing. I understand that the story isn't finished, but there should have been a boss fight.
I believe there are two reasons why it ended the way it did. The first is that they wanted to maintain a "fun" atmosphere, perhaps as the calm before the storm or as the last happy moments before the suffering. The second reason is that it's a gacha, and I finally realized that. The first two cantos are a trial to attract the unsuspecting, making them think it's easy and F2P friendly, but from the third canto, the difficulty suddenly spikes. For example, my team was at level 15, and suddenly the minimum requirements became level 20. Leveling up by repeating previous levels is unthinkable considering they require a lot of energy, so you have to use tickets that you have to grind for in events, and even there you need refined energy. So from the third canto onwards, it effectively becomes a gacha, and the grind sets in unless, of course, you want to pay.
Anyway, it's appreciated that when you unlock the third level of an ability, it shows you a piece of the identity's story. I didn't expect that
You're in luck, the recent Canto and events reveal a lot about her... might take you a few months to get there though.
Now I understand what you mean... I'll have to grind a bit before getting there.
I may or may not be tone deaf.
Love is not only blind but also deaf.
All the numbers in ancient records are a bit unreliable, yes. It should still be more than 500 though.
Any force that has the energy to be casually spacefaring should have the capacity to construct spaceships as easily as triremes, if not easier. Just take into account the US' industrial capacity in WWII, now imagine if they had an entire asteroid field to tap into. Though I'm not sure if Shizuki is mining the Kulper Belt or just yoinked all her materials from earth.
Yes, what you say makes sense, even though I haven't clearly defined how Shizuki obtained her fleet, whether she built it in the SHHS universe or it was isekai'd there with her.
As for the Soviet fleet and its soldiers, I see it as part of Slavic Mama's "Dominion" or a Reality Marble, to cite Fate.
I think randomly saying 690 in total could be a number of ships I'm confident in accepting.
[A true performer would know how to set up a spectacle befitting a grand theater. This superfluous behavior only makes the fireworks dimmer from where I stand. Don't you think this performance is a bit lousy when you're up against the Eldritch? Why, had they not been shaken from the betrayal of one of their kin, I doubt any of them would have succumbed at all.]
I accept criticism when it comes from you, my beloved. You truly deserve the best, and I will strive even harder in the next chapter in the hope of at least slightly approaching your ideal. I like impossible challenges and lost battles, after all.
[In the end, the clones are not connected in any way. Can it truly be said to be Theirl's misery, or the insignificant suffering of millions of background characters? Would not the despair that taints Pixy's heart when she comes across a force that her, as an individual, cannot even hold a candle to be painted blacker than any battlefield she may find herself in? As for the zombie daikons... I have no comments regarding them.
In the end, that too is true for the bot and SNVW - as each and every machine they connect to becomes a part of themself. Each loss, each inch closer to defeat would feel like their flesh being callously stripped from their bones. It can be said to be more colorful than the suffering of any biological being.]
Ultimately, you're right. It's a flaw of mine to dwell on the insignificant lives of background characters, countless ants without sentience or a true personality. However, I perceive their emotions, the same survival instinct I see in myself, the true root that connects us. In every life, I see this struggle, this desire to exist, no matter how futile it may be.
But as you say, a synthetic life is also a life. Perhaps it's harder to empathize with them, but that's more of a skill issue on my part rather than a difference between organic and mechanical. Thank you for always enlightening me with your ruthless wisdom. ?
