:meowsip::blobsip:
Only these two emojis? :blob_pat_sad: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. :meowsip:

We'll have to wait two more years, then Lord Tony will alot us another 2 blobs :blob_okay:
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. :blob_hmm:
Oh, and who is this other cat? Just curious, most certainly don't have any devious schemes in mind :blob_evil:
*dies instantaneously but happy*
?:blob_ghost:?
Here, a 1up ?
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.
I called it a "Spark" due to Jumpchain's interpretation of it, which strictly refers to Oldwalker sparks. I consider it a homage since Jumpchain is a big part of why I got into writing in the first place.

Funnily enough in Jumpchain there's no practical difference between a Jumper with a spark and a Jumper with a bunch of OP perks, aside from the fiat of being qualitatively superior. Which applies to my cosmology too.
Would that certain someone be Matcha or Seymour?
Seymour's goal is to gain a Spark so she can stop being a Villainess, she wouldn't be able to provide one... let alone Matcha
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.
❤️
No, absolutely not...I would never want to imprison you... ahem.
As if prison can hold me down for long :blob_evil:
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.

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... :sweating_profusely:
She may be responsible for a TPK, but she's just being a lil' goofy

I really liked the way Rodya handled the game.
Rodya taught me the key to gambling is confidence, meaning if you're confident in your luck you always win the gacha
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.
The ironic thing is Rodya never really did things for the greater good here, she did it for the sake of her own ego. Something that would gain the approval of a certain someone responsible for the White Days and Dark Nights.

Sonya is very suspicious, considering how hard it is to make a difference in the City. Either he's hiding something big... or the world he showed Rodya was a false reality in a very literal sense.
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.
PM loves to play with boss fight mechanics. You may not have noticed it, but from the second wave onwards if you can't clear a wave in 4 turns, Baba Yaga catches up and Instakills you. It's a boss fight focused on spreading damage between enemies so you don't overkill and waste skills(which do not get used when targeting a dead enemy), while handling the fact that the enemies have more slots than you.

That said... it wasn't that well designed to begin with, and recent IDs absolutely crush the fight so much that YWTGBH? feels more like a boss fight than it. Especially if you used my Ryoshu since she has AOE, reuse coin and slash damage.
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.
An infamous meme in Project Moon game is "The difficulty spike is vertical." And yeah, 3-6 is an example of it. Funny thing is most of these fights were already nerfed.

I think you can clear with underleveled IDs perfectly fine, I never bothered grinding until I reached the final boss of Canto 3. If all else fails, just use my Middle Don and treat everyone else as meatshields.

And, I hope you're prepared for the final boss of Canto III. On release it took me 5 hours of retries with level 20-25 IDs. You'll definitely have an easier time because of the nerfs, but I don't think the impact will be any less. Make sure you're prepared before taking on the story dungeon, it there's 2-3 hours of content inside. My tip is that Uptie III matters more than level as long as the difference is not more than 10.
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
Yep... some of the ID stories even have unique OSTs, mostly the ones based on bosses though.
Now I understand what you mean... I'll have to grind a bit before getting there.
You're lucky you just have to run luxcavation for xp tickets... back in season 1 we had to farm an entire mirror dungeon.

Speaking of which, have you tried the Mirror Dungeon? Were you able to clear Simulation? I'm curious since they made the Mounting Trials a lot harder compared to last season. It might be hard without the 3rd skills of IDs.
Love is not only blind but also deaf. :blob_uwu:
At least it's not without taste and touch
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.
Yep, though from bits of Shizuki lore she's conquered several universes and is the head of some big-shot department of a company. So she's definitely quite resource rich :sweat_smile: (Azure may not have wiped out her entire force on arrival though, so she may have had to start from scratch)
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.
I see :blob_hmm_two:
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.:blob_paint:

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. ?
[You better not disappoint. I'll be preparing for my grand debut in the meanwhile.]

Forget all this war business, we've got a knife! Watch out, the cute mascot character has a knife!
Hahahaha! Now we're unstoppable! Only a robot vacuum with googly eyes and a knife taped to its could possibly compare in power to our deadly cuteness.

How else are we meant to build an immunity to stabbing if we never get stabbed?
By stabbing yourself, like I do?

Or perhaps you can do it in a safe and controlled environment with trusted individuals, I'm not so sure.
Sans Undertale???

The googly eyes will be included in the retrofit (with 100% more knife)

I'm rather attached to this body, it's my original one. I can give you a different corpse tho. :blob_evil_two:

I'd say it's a good thing you're here. It's always good to have interesting people around.
