IDs for Limbus

SO i have just had a funny idea cross my mind basically we all know that Xiao ID will come someday, right? much like Yan, much like Kali, yada yada yada and we know these three all have their 'cool awakening' skill that PM will integrate in game (i will personally ensure they will) so what if we tie their awakenings to sp and conditions say kali id, upon reaching 45 SP and killing X guys can use her defensive skill to manifest Red Mist. this changes her skills, replaces ZAYIN ego with Great Split: Horizontal or something, and to represent the original passive, upon failing to inflict X damage with her skills her stagger threshold rises a bit Xiao ID -- basically the same thing, upon reaching 45 SP she manifests Iron Lotus and burns down the house but Yan? imagine if they did the opposite. he starts as a perfectly normal Proxy unit, discarding his skills, benefiting from Singleton (somehow), but upon reaching -45 SP he DISTORTS and changes his passives, skills, speed, resistances and everything to that of a DISTORTED YAN BOSS. like IMAGINE THAT. and because he doesn't give a single fuck about what people tell him and follows prescripts only, he gains 'indiscriminate' on every skill. and to deal with him he has a passive that's called 'The Weaving Word' or something that basically acts similarly to Pluto's contract his teammates have to follow the 'prescript' which is given to them at the beginning of each turn if they carry out their prescript Yan ID cannot target them if the fail, however, there is a chance he will attack them and he has his AOE attack replace his ZAYIN ego too obv

and dont get me started on Ensemble IDs who all imo should have their double-down distorted modes built into them. Macrosis' Ensemble Rework is canon and i simply do not care. let my boy Blue Reverberation blast his theme for everyone to groove. LIKE IMAGINE THAT

#limbus #limbus company #i think im getting the hang of tumblr #if i feel funny i might even try to make this an id card #like that one guy from lc reddit makes yknow #the quality ones #love them #rant #GIVE AHABMAEL AN OPTION TO MANIFEST HER OWN GASHARPOON AS UPTIE V UPGRADE

hey um so anyone else find that zombies run made a bunch of marvelous and uncalled for improvements to the app and now it doesn't fucking work anymore

#zombies run #psir #anyone else find that all anybody wants is for everything to stay exactly the way it was and yet companies keep fucking upgrading everything

thank god for indie devs making like tiny little maximum 10 megabyte freeware games on itchio keeping the art of filesize optimization alive. ASSET REUSE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#im watching a video about wario land music -> 'the bizarre music and sound design of wario land 4' by geno7 #good video so far! i like this guys stuff. he talked a bit about how they did some of the sound effects for warios voice #a very like. chopped and remixed sample style of doing his vocal lines. which is very cool 1) because it saves a bit of #precious space on that gba cartridge BUT ALSO 2) it just sounds cool and interesting stylistically #and man sometimes trying to keep a file size down really does give way for some really interesting stuff #on my own personal interests in games i ADORE rpg makers rtp and how people can find creative uses for it #i love that a bunch of games can draw from the same asset pool as one install on ur computer #no bloating your hardrive with a bunch of copies of the same assets - its just already here! #and from a developers perspective i love when they reuse old assets from other games in new weird ways #some small visual novel companies will reuse backgrounds and other assets #altho i dont mind a bit of bloat with VNs since a big draw can be the big pretty images and big pretty sounds #but its still cool when people find ways to get creative with space saving. and from a players perspective its also nice #space is cheap nowadays. but its not Free. we can swallow terabytes whole with micro sds and everything #but a lot of players dont get the chance or ability to upgrade their internal memory that often. so i think being considerate of filesize i #very important. and thats not even getting into the download bandwidth limits - a lot of people all across north america can only get like #internet from 1 provider and that 1 provider often likes to upcharge and limit shit because they can #we might live in a future where a lot of powerful technology exists. but access to that tech is another story #so remember the filesize. remember the filesize. #dies in your arms

I love that the upgraded image actually shows less of her skintight suit.

And that Sinclair is actually the one showing skin in this summer event...when upgraded.

#limbus company #back when i was playing valkyrie connect the upgraded images were usually the same sprite but showing more skin instead #also props to ishmael's expression

DMC Questions Anon here!

A Devil May Cry spinoff that is set to be led by one the female cast has been announced, and they've asked you to make the game. Which of the women of Devil May Cry will you choose to be the main character? What other characters will you want to appear? What's the plot of the game? (You can also go deeper into gameplay mechanics if you desire.)

Hi, dear DMC questions anon!)))

I think my answer is quite obvious) (psss it`s gonna be Patty)

Contradictory I`d like to say some words about other ladies as protagonists:

Lady can get her chance to Finally Get Some Characterisation. This woman is middle-aged and her character has been 'teenage girl with a rocket launcher' The Entire Time, This Is An Actual Crime. Her only bit of character is (1) throwaway line in 5, ONE. Lady has been dealt a very bad hand by the franchise, but if she were to have a spinoff game, maybe she could have gotten at least a good goodbye arc, though it`s hard to give a proper goodbye to a character if she never had any arc in the first place. Lady is kind of doomed by the series at this point, very little can save her, F.

Trish and Lucia are equally good choices here. Both of them have...some character, also they are both demons and demonic culture or lore could have been explored. They have a very basic foundation (which is much stronger than Ladys), but its strong enough to jump-start a good story and give them some light. Personally I would prefer Lucia, just because I like her more.

Now, onto my favourite DMC girl)

As a major cerified Patty Propaganda enjoyer, I would love to see nonsexualised young adult version of Patty! There, however, are some additional reasons why I'd love to see more of her:

no power creep. Patty is not a Sparda, and Spardas are known to suffer from insane power creep, and she just wont be able to handle that. Patty can explore the more down-to-earth struggles of a modern world where demons are an actual thing. She can handle like domestic demon problems or some small infestation, but if she steps into something she cant handle she Needs to get out of there and call in backup (her adopted dad/cousin/uncle will handle everything very thouroughly). DMC is never really afraid of the demons, they are basically a dummy for the player to practise on, and can only make you anxious if youre playing on a harder difficulty. Well, base game difficulty is actually always a DMD mode for Patty and I think that could be a very interesting lens to look through

This same lens can be used to show other human demons hunters or armorers like Nico! 3 Spardas, 2 demon ladies and one rocket launcher schoolgirl cannot handle every possible demon problem, theres gotta be other hunters.

Patty is canon to be a descendant of a sourcerer, and this is a Great segway into gameplay. Because I think Patty's possible gameplay should be V's upgraded and expanded theme and moveset.

Has anyone here seen or heard of Astral Chain???No? Yeah me too, its a nintendo exclusive. Wanna know what it is? A Platinum Game slasher with Pet Demon control, where you have Multiple demons to choose from, you can use them for Mobility to platform around, and customise and it has a banger soundtrack!!!

I believed V has something really good going on when starting out DMC5, and was a little dissapointed when I realised how shallow he is compared to other characters. He is still fun and very very unique to play and I think his gameplay should be improved upon and Astral Chain Proves that too.

Give Patty some magic stuff to bind demons with, let us have a variety of summons to choose from (I Will go through the entire game with a pet Cerberus, just as I did in 5, thanks for asking), but Patty herself should have her own moveset and toolkit. She can't possibly get into melee range with any demon as human speed cannot compare, but she could use some guns (courtesy of Dante probably), and spells or potions. Personally I was not a fan of Breakers', well, breaking mechanic, but it would work really well for an actual human demon hunter who needs additional powerful thingies like that in battle. Also Would love to see Kyrie being proficient in some rare Order magic or stuff like that, they Had to have some other spells or scrolls around, and its a reason to see Kyrie in game) (like how could Nero leave her alone otherwise, she has to have at least some defencive options, and seeing as devout she was I think she could be quite good at them, maybe she just doesnt like exterminating demons herself)

My only issue I dont have a solution for is how to make this sort of theme seem related to the DMC series, as a human protag will be a significant downgrade from sparda powerhouse-losers. Limiting enemy numbers or screen will make the gameplay less interesting, and giving it fast pace like the other entries might destroy the illusion of 'human' demon hunter, who is not as capable as sparpda bois. Buuut that's sort of problem for the game designers to handle and not me soooo I'm gonna use that excuse yeah

tldr: I would choose Patty, she can give the game a down-to-earth viewpoint of how an average DMC series people handle demons, and her gameplay can be an expanded version of V, with some inspiration from the Astral Chain and some original moves mixed in

#i do not like console wars and truth be told am a playstationer myself #but mostly because upgrading computer to play anything costs much more than any console #and nintendo is a much much worse platform holder than any of the other companies #so of course they have to have an amazing slasher game with good summon combat #i freely admit i feel jealous of players who played astral chain #(sigh) anyway yeah there should be more slasher games with summon combat and banger soundtrack #(rip scalebound) #its like having a slaher AND a monster hunter game at the same time how cool is that #ANYWAY #dmc questions anon #thank you for the ask as always ladies of dmc need all the support they can get #dmc #patty propaganda #its very strong in this one #patty lowell #patty adopted dante as her father figure #patty and nero are cousins #vergil is patty's classy uncle #you cant make me tag v #dmc anime #WHEN

it should be illegal for companies to have such a widespread issue and not fix it

#brina is being forced to upgrade her ipad bc its cheaper than fixing it w the trade in credit #and yes thays my drawing program and writing program i do axrually need that fucker the programs arent on other platforms #this is actually the worst companies should be sued more #tbd #the only fix options i was given was spend $600 on repairing the charging port #or pay $400 gor the ‘magic k/eyboard’ #its $600 to full out replace it w trade in cred #fuck ap/ple fuck ap/ple f u c k a p p l e #if these programs werent locked to this bullshit device id buy a samsung #i have to go do that now so #ik i have like messages and stuff i havent seen them yet im sorry i gotta go fic this shir

finally going to go upgrade my phone because i deserve nice things and also to be able to actually do anything on it lmao, log in to my 3 account because i've been poking at the website for a week and i have finally MADE A DECISION

to find that

the monthly cost over 36 months (frankly insane) is £2 more when i'm already a fucking customer?

because i have been a customer for 10 years i have the pleasure of paying £72 more overall? die. die die die. die.

#and so i will continue using my old phone and never upgrade and #i can't do anything that new phones can do but fkdgjsdhgskj #i could go into the store but. sdfjklafsj #thanks i hate it :) #i can't trade my current phone in or whatevre because it literally is worth £0 #the website really thought about it before it gave me that whopping total too #which i feel is just mean #i used to work for a phone company that used to be my job #i am sO MAD about EVERYTHING #the 36m contract isn't as wild when you consider i've had my current phone for 8 years but still #an EXPENSIVE contract used to be £40 a month and now it's the fucking standard? #(i say #complaining that my monthly contract would be £16 instead of £14 not including the phone repayts) #it is thE PRINCIPLE.

Getting stuck in conversations is good for you actually. Did I want to spend 30 minutes on the phone with an IT guy while he had to make sure a program was getting downloaded correctly? No.

But did it kill me? Also no.

I found myself enjoying hearing him talk about other times he has had to deal with crazy ass tech issues with other companies.

Like how once he was in a factory, in the dark, sitting with an electrician who was tasked with hooking up a generator to the wrong type of outlet. Just so they could make sure the companies server didn’t go down and erase all of their information.

Or how once he had to tell a grown man “hey you know that if you upgraded this software that went out of date in the 90s, your machine will shut down less”

Sometimes you gotta be exposed to random ass conversations with people you don’t know or else you get too comfortable in your own box.

#Jesse Admin IT man deserves his favorite dessert for dealing with all my companies shit #tales from work #we did not give him enlightenment notice before going #hey can you upgrade literally everyone software? our renewal date was yesterday and now it doesn’t work #I spent a month reminding my boss it needed upgraded but he waited till it was too late

need to shell out for a new laptop before the end of the year - for a lot of reasons but mainly bc support ending for win8.1 makes fixing the current beast rather pointless :/ (and. admittedly. there is a lot to fix. she's old and she has suffered.)

but my current beastie is from the last gen of laptops with a disc drive and the thought of using an external/usb disc drive is enough to make me cry tears of blood

#really though it is time to upgrade #and i hate to say it because she /runs/ fine it's all hardware issues w parts that can absolutely be replaced #but if i can't use it to run the programs i need then shelling out the money for those parts would ultimately be a waste #but also the fact that this machine that runs fine is no longer worth fixing bc some google-based bullshit just won't support win8.1 anymor #is ALSO a fucking waste & a pile of planned obsolescence bullshit! and i hate it! #but uh. even though she runs fine and she totally does. she does need. uh. #new keyboard (only 1/3 of keys work; currently use usb keyboard) #new trackpad ribbon cable (trackpad does not currently work; using external usb mouse) #new power button and connecting ribbon cable (turning it on involves opening it up and causing an intentional short-circuit every time.) #(a problem largely solved by simply never turning her completely off- except she also needs) #a new battery (current battery does not charge at all; machine needs to be constantly plugged in or it shuts down immediately) #...ok i might be the 'this is fine' dog about this #but i am still upset! that i will no longer have a disc drive inside my damn laptop. #that's the disc drive's natural habitat; that's where it should be; it's weird and offputting to have it connected via usb! #ack. why do tech companies fuck everything up. #and that's without getting into the way new devices offer less harddrive space so people will use the fucking cloud or whatever??? #yeah sorry no i'm not using your goddamn data mining corporate off-site storage i want to keep my shit on my own goddamn machine #go to actual hell if you're trying to sell me a pc with less than at least 500GB of storage i swear to fuck #...in essence you could say the whole process is leaving me rather grumpy

[prettyallfriends]

first of all. i know its complicated. i knowwwwww. even past the whole difficulty in making it work at all on different hardware and os, the printing features would have to be reworked.

but still.... if i can play project diva arcade on my computer i should be able to play pretty series nd aikatsu!!! oh please.... someday......... someone please.........

#bc heres the thing. pretty series is published by a toy company. p sure the reason pripara got upgraded to prichan was just bc of the #printers. like internally it has to just be a normal ass computer in there right?? #i wonder if these games work without printers. like if the cabinets still let u play if it cant print

[ahbutimavillain]

Only bean could have the power to not only get me interested in a dnd style game but also to consider finding people to do dnd with irl

#will I actually do that? #my social anxiety says HELLA #NAH #but still #I feel like realistically if I wasn’t so conditioned at this stage to thing dnd is fucking weird #(it’s ??? really not any weirder than anything else lmao) #I would probably have enjoyed it if I’d gotten into it ages ago #anyway I’m just waiting to transfer games from my ps5 to external #so I have room for MORE GAMES #I’m gonna give the cyberpunk trial another go since I have ps+ @ whatever level lets u do trials #honesty idek what tier I have anymore bc it was like a deal to upgrade at one point and yeah idk #but I’m p sure it’s gonna run me like $130 come January for renewal and that’s a p steep jump from #the $99 I paid when I first got it :/ #these companies really #out here bending us over w/these subscriptions and tiers etc etc #also I think I should cancel my Nintendo one bc I don’t ever play acnh and that’s the only reason I had it #so I could travel to different islands… #I should really look into what subscriptions I’m paying for at this point #it’s a problem

i need to be asleep but i'm looking at the tax return money i have stashed away and wondering just how much of a quality upgrade i should make in terms of mixing headphones

#the brand i've been using has served me fairly well #but i don't know if they're still in production because the last ones i've ordered came worn/damaged and had to be returned #and my current pair is Quite Literally hanging on by a thread #(read: it is taped together with electrical tape and a large tongue depressor to replace the broken hinge) #(and has a small bead jammed into the cup joint to prevent it from swinging outwards) #(and i have to put a folded sock on my head to counteract the compressed headband foam) #so i've been thinking i ought to upgrade just a bit from the $20 range to perhaps the $50 range #but i'm staring at the company i'm thinking about ordering from and wondering if i should just #go ahead and spend a little more to get a slightly more sensitive and collapsible studio-level pair #but spending more is scary ! ! ! ! #what if they're bad ! ! ! #what if they sound terrible and feel bad and get lost in the mail when i try to return them ! ! ! #or what if they sound so so good all my mixing things will sound terrible no matter what ! ! ! #or well i'm not sure how to describe that last fear but i think it basically amounts to #what if it makes vocal synth voices sound bad somehow #ughhgh i know it'll be better for me in the long run to invest now while i have the option #because no doubt the more expensive pair will last longer and give me better quality results #(evidence: an astounding number of people reporting they've used theirs for 5-10 years with no sound decay) #as opposed to my current ones which i've had to replace every 3 years #$70 for potentially 10 years of good audio . . . . #which is roughly what i'd be paying with the cheap pair but with only mid-tier audio #h m m m m m #i'll sleep on it i guess . . . .
