Wife dies

wife dies

gets mad

even though its like super common in the city and it really doesn't matter

why does roland have to make such a big deal of of this? just get over it and move on...

My name is not important... What is important is what I'm going to do. I just fucking hate this city and the human worms feasting on it's carcass. My whole life is just cold, bitter hatred... and I always wanted to die violently. This the time of vengeance and no life is worth saving. And I will put in the grave as many as I can. It's time for me to kill... and it's time for me to die.

just get over it you say

Hatredposting? In 2025? Based.
How the fuck do I even remember that's the game, I never even played it...

Ever if you never played it everyone remembers Not Important's game

Because he doesn't actually believe in the mindset he spouts
That's just his cope

Is Yi sang a virgin?

He did, now he has a roblox wife.

So it seems. I didn't know it'd been buried that deep in my head.

Probably? But it'd be cool if he wasn't.

Why doesn't Roland start a g*cha "game" and use the likeness of his ex wife for money? Doesn't he know that's what people who say "that is this and this is that" do?

The entire game is drilling into your head that the City is changing because of the Light
The that's that and this is this mindset isn't a hard rule anymore, and rather than cold apathy being near universal with people having strong feelings of happiness, love, loss, and everything in between

is the board not moving for a bit? i can't see new posts and it seems like ever single post remains in their pages without changing.

This, and Roland himself is aware that he's coping. It's why he freaks out when Angela decides to unbook everyone and abandon her goal so close to the finish line, he needed to believe that the City and its inhabitants were incapable of change as it would justify his own selfishness

Why couldn't he be honest with himself and say, yeah I'm selfish. And then kill Angela for the sake of Angelica?

the City is changing because of the Light

Isn't it just giving people the chance to become superhuman in one way or another? I thought the point of Yans' story is that it's the people of the City that shape its will, not the other way around; they simply chose to believe in a system that frees them from having to care about others and be responsible for their own life. Outside of the rules set by the Head (who are rather flexible really) there aren't any hard rules in the way people are supposed to behave.

It's gonna have better writing than Limbus.

Because impregnating angela and giving her the responsibility to look after her lineage and watching them die one by one is a greater punishment.

He just does not care. He even says how pointless all that is, and the only reason he is doing it is because it will make him feel good for a moment.

The greater punishment would be to kill her actually.

Because he ended up liking Angela, even if he didn't intend to at first, he's not lying about being sympathetic to her plight which he recognizes as being incomparably more cruel to his own life. He constantly nudges her with the "are you SURE you don't feel just a liiiitttlllee bad for the people you're harming" over and over again throughout the story, which would be pointless if he was deadset on killing her from the start. He says himself that he was seeing if there was even a chance she could separate herself from the "fuck you got mine" way of thinking that permeates the Cityfolk, which of course doesn't happen until their confrontation.

So, you are telling me Roland is a playboy who betrays his wife by sleeping with her killer? Got it.

You can see how he is already doubting himself in the Black Silence reception.
I wish you could actually read those ingames and not only catch a few words.

that is that and this is this

Survival of the fittest. If Angelica wanted to secure her husband, she should not have not died.

I though that was this and this was that, so we shouldn't steal each others wives. I guess everything will return how it used to be in the city after the poison gets cleared from the mind of man.

I'm siding with the blue schizos if it means the possibility of completely destroying the Head.
Fuck them and their loosh farm, Raze every wing to the ground!
Hell I'll listen to Carmen if she presents a way to achieve exactly that.

The city is shaped by the people living in it, by wanting to destroy the city you want to destroy humanity in its entirety. How about you replace those pointless stars with the beauty of apartment lights.

Why do you think the ending is Roland and Angela realizing that positive change can make a difference instead of following a self destructive mindset?

That's that and this is this, nigge-e-er.

all those words

that is that and this is this

Fuck you arbiter!
Your propaganda is worthless.
humanity would be better off out of it's cage and facing the very monsters they were hiding from.
To rise up from the ashes, to the sky and pierce the zenith.

Everybody in the city has lost hope, they live by keeping their head down, and following the rules. Even the syndicates, the stars of the city, keep their head down for the head. The Light does not only give people power, but it fills them with hope of a better future AND the power to achieve their hopes and dreams, giving them power to achieve anything without needing to be rich to achieve it.

From ashes you shall rise and to ashes you will return. To sacrifice the security of humanity for pointless dreams is what caused man to get into this situation. After all, once you appreciate what is you will no longer want what could be.

Wait for Angela to become human

Impregnate her

Unbook everyone and release the Light

Win-win

I'm siding with the blue schizos if it means the possibility of completely destroying the Head.

Lol they weren't going to do shit, Carmen isn't either for that matter. Even if the ensemble succeeded it's highly unlikely the Head would intervene, similar to how they didn't care about Angela in her bad ending where the Library kept expanding, as long as you don't start fucking toasters you can do whatever you want.

The Head is also significantly more powerful than everything else in the city and it's not even close, in the Lob Corp ending where the abnos were unleashed onto the CIty they were still able to keep things under control. Meaning they were able to suppress every abno (including ALEPHs) breaching at once without Qliphoth deterrence, Argalia's goonsquad and a couple of E.G.O. users/Distortions aren't shit compared to that

I hope you have paid your taxes, Anon.

Lob Corp ending where the abnos were unleashed onto the CIty they were still able to keep things under control.

WITHIN A WEEK

DOOOOD THE HEAD IS SO POWERFUL! YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING AGAINST IT.

So... what was the point of SoL?
Seems pretty obvious the head will follow its laws to the letter. Just seems like added misery if you start caring about people around you.

Man i was a little disappointed how you can not use the Kether floor against the Black Silence. It would be fitting to have Roland's own assistant being the ones who beat him into sanity.

You severely underestimate The Head strength if you think a bunch of Blue Jobbers can remotely do anything of value to tip the scale

what was the point of SoL?

Free shit for people from the Light
Also tax evasion

The other blue schizos might have a chance.

>DOOOOD THE HEAD IS SO POWERFUL! YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING AGAINST IT.

Yeah? The Games made it very clear and Limbus only Enforces this thought process

What's insane is that the Pianist was considered between a WAW and ALEPH in threat level and it killed 300,000 people near instantly, can't imagine how destructive abnos like White Night, Blue Star, or MoSB were and yet they still were handled with relative ease by the Head

Is this still the case? I don't wanna play gachage to find out.

LoR and LC aren't gachas though

Nah, now everybody is a quirky chungus with a unique gimmick.

She'd probably just have the fetus be crushed in her cold metal frame if that happened.

LC is mobile tier gacha where you need to have energy points to play the fucking game.

now everybody is a quirky chungus with a unique gimmick.

So like LC and LOR

I meant Limbo, I played LoR.
Oh...

You mean Limbus or Lobotomy Corporation?

Seems pretty obvious the head will follow its laws to the letter

The Head doesn't have many laws that's the thing, the City and its misery is a result of its people. It's a mistake to think of the Head as the big bad, the vast majority of Cityfolk will never even see a Claw, much less an Arbiter.

Isnt the whole point of the Seed of Light turning everybody into a quirky chungus by giving them the power to awaken their own unique EGO?

SoL is the spiritual equivalent of giving reddit accounts (E.G.O) to everybody

Pre SoL was Anon Babble anonymous imageboard

Bros...

Claws are watching this very thread

tells everyone to cry about it when shit happens to them

has a meltdown when shit happens to him

in the end learns to cry about it

Roland just had to learn to b himself

Pianist wasn't even being dealth with directly by the Head, it was like Philip in V Corp. situation of Hana throwing Fixers at it until they died.
I'd wager Pianist and Philip would have been dealth with in half a day under Head's direct intervention.

The head only has like a dozen of laws and most of them barely affect the common man:

do not make bullets that penetrate concrete walls

pay your taxes

do not infringe copyright laws

do not fuck with people's house during night

no AI

no clones

no reviving the dead

That is it. All the suffering in the city is people fucking with people. Meanwhile the Head is protecting the City from all the horror from the outskirts.

You know the funny thing? The head will be the actual bad guys when the director starts writing about the head.

the Head is protecting the City from all the horror from the outskirts

No people = No taxes
And while common folks kill each other just right they're not trying to clean the state out of humans

What the Head use all the tax money for?

pay your taxes

this one is fucking bullshit though

Sweepers

he doesn't know

Like IRL for reasons

DOOOOD THE HEAD IS SO POWERFUL! YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING AGAINST IT

This but Unironically, Don't be a Retard and break the Taboos it's that simple

I could beat The Head.

Ayin...

Albus...

mc syndrome

No point in getting mad over hypothetically bad writing. Something I really like about PM's dystopia is that it isn't your typical "hyper authoritarian government overlords rule with an iron fist", while the Head sees and knows everything they don't intervene with peoples lives barring their small set of rules. The City being an enormous, inescapable prisoner's dilemma is way more interesting to me, it'd suck if it went the generic route where a handful of baddies are responsible for everything like other typical dystopian settings

his wife had anime superpowers so he could reasonably expect her to not die. she only died due to bad luck really

What you proposed is too nuanced for 14 year olds, so the director will make the Head actually evil so they can power their evilness singularity.

The City being an enormous, inescapable prisoner's dilemma is way more interesting to me, it'd suck if it went the generic route where a handful of baddies are responsible for everything like other typical dystopian settings

It's like Anon forget about possible multiple giant sewing machines under the City printing out orders for everyone to harm/maim/kill each other daily. And no one knows how exactly it works or why.

The whole point of the SoL was to counter the disease of the mind and make people actually feel emotions again, not overthrow the head. That's why the head didn't just immediately crush lobcorp, technically what they did was still within the bounds of what the head wants out of humanity. Also, the only people who are supposed to be able to generate EGO are those who have their own ambitions and dreams, anyone who sacrifices their humanity and individuality to serve a corporation will remain like normal. EGO just gives people the power they need to attempt to achieve their dream.

The Head literally does nothing wrong
Lets the city exist and organize as it pleases as long as people don't go overboard

Christian consultations, donations to ancient chthonic Gods, and the development of A, B and C Nests.

it'd suck if it went the generic route where a handful of baddies are responsible for everything like other typical dystopian settings

The good thing is the Head is nowhere near that point at all

Lets the city exist

That's the problem it's a loosh farm.
It harvests human suffering.
Every aspect about the city requires human suffering to function.
A prison meant to make you suffer and damn you.

The entire point of the Prescripts is that there isn't an evil baddie behind them like Yan thought. It's why he breaks down in despair, because it meant that all his acts of rebellion were completely meaningless (or so he thinks). He thinks he can't fight back against the will of the city, so why should he feel bad?

gnosticism

Yep, disregarded. The city RULES!

Sweepers are a public service, they just clean up the homeless like any other trash

You know, you accidentally made me thinking...
PM games are pro-christian. Look:

MoonJesus is a cool dude

The Head embodies the Old Testament with cruel laws while Ayin/The Light embodies the New, with hope™ and a savior.

both based on hebrew nonsence

no sign of faggots in 3 games

importance of family

and so on. I'm too busy to shitpost but you can get the idea

Pro-christian

G*cha

Pick one.

no sign of faggots in 3 games

Netzach, Hokma, Roland, Yan, Sinclair

I get the impression the taxes were high to encourage more rat racing

LoR rly ruined everything

Catholic gacha.

Carmen

Ayin (but platonic like Judas)

Angelica

he's done

Demian's mother

Doood it's le Catholic... because... IT JUST IS OKAY?

Why are slurpers this deranged. Everything has to come back to PM and Limbus for them.

Roland and Angela aren't really romantic though. He likes her because she turns out to be his kind of crazy and the two hit it off as misery-buddies.

You missed the joke, anon or simply can't read

Ow, the protestant split thing. Got it.

hehe

They're literal Jannies

LOL& furioso not roland the happy

The Head is more about keeping the status quo to be honest. With all the power they got they could wipe clean the outside world and subjugate all the Wings as a true empire but they rather keep things on tab.

I'm still confused about the source of distortions. Looking online it seems people say that it was a result of the incomplete light being released and had it been released fully distortions wouldn't have occured, which is what most of the story corroborates and what I thought myself, but I thought the big reveal of the Keter Realization was that it was Carmen causing people to distort, meaning it was a feature, not a bug, of the light and would've happened regardless given that she's a part of it

Looking online

That was your first mistake.

Looking anywhere that isn't here

That was your second mistake.

Install VPN already.
Your posts are glowing cross boards

no sign of faggots in 3 games

But twitter tells me all the women are gay

Nah

you forgot

body horror

Lolan was originally a cynical, miserable cut-throat, who one day got a taste of what a good life could be like through Angelica. A life changing moment for him.

The moment that's all dashed away from him, despite the strides and sacrifices made to overcome their shitty pasts and be better persons, he succumbs back to his old habits, his old cut-throat ways. Only this time with a fury, that is only part vengeance. But mostly just him lashing out at the City/the world for being such a shitty place.

He casts a city wide net, and ruthlessly targets a bunch of corps, associations, wings, offices, fixers, etc. in a one-man crusade to find nebulous clues to piece together the root cause of a supernatural disaster. And a lot of (sometimes questionably) innocent bystanders are hurt along the way. Until he finally connects the dots/is manipulated to set his sights on the ruins of Lobotomy Corp, Angela, and the Library.

Honestly, if Angela didn't share a similar name, he probably would've tried to kill her a lot sooner? The moment he pieces together what the light is, and her role in it. He could've been back in time to order take-out PZA and ice cold bears.

lolan.png - 899x899, 549.93K

But the stage that is the city was not built with the intetion to make the actors suffer. It's not the stage's fault that the actors turned it into a prison, and now it's up to the actors to escape the prison of their own making and the head explicitly allows the perfect tool for that to exist. The head was also kind of excited to see how ego would shake up the status quo

You forgot that he physically couldn't kill her, Angela is effectively invincible as long as she's a machine and in control of the Library. He practically died just walking in the door. He also wanted to make her suffer as much as possible by snatching away her dream right before her eyes

I think that if he tried to attack sooner he would stand no chance to beat her. The only reason he manages to kill her in his bad ending is because he built a friendship with her and she let him kill her. If he attacked sooner, she would have no reason to not simply turn him into a popcorn machine.

iirc angela directly states that distortions wouldnt happen as often if the light went for its full cycle. The point of the light was to open the peoples eyes to the virtues discovered in the lobcorp core suppressions so the incomplete light most likely left people at a stopgap between their previous rat race mindset and being awakened that left them mentally unstable, leading to distortions and peccatula.

Oh yea. That too.
Had to wait for the machine to start bleeding again.

That caveat is probably one of the few times Roland actually had time to sit down, and think about his actions, while playing the long-con.

Every rampage prior to that, seems to be mostly him acting on impulse with a blank mask.

Good thing Angela was a dork, to that end.

Do you think loland and angela ever...

Netzach

Hokma

That's like saying Jesus' Apostles were gay. Netzach was also enamored with Carmen first.

Yan

Sinclair

Since when do we have any info related to their preferences?

Angela is the only reason things are still shitty in the city

slurped the director for making Limbus? Obviously.

Roland becomes very relatable once you get that island of happiness in your life that gets snatched away too soon.

Just forget that island of happiness and embrace what is.

You're glossing over a fair few details here

Pay your taxes

It's implied these are pretty high and unfair rates, seemingly done so to push the current state of wing/corp competitions.
This alone might be responsible for why there's no real decent place to live in the city if in practice it leads to a reliance on singularities and hence a need to sacrifice feathers for the wing.

Do not infringe copyright laws

Pretty much instant death even if the person doing so has no actual way to know they are infringing on a copyright.

But the stage that is the city was not built with the intetion to make the actors suffer

I disagree, the suffering is intentional.
Yes, the head seems to want the people of the city to step up to change things (via means they approve off), going by their words to Angela, but their way of encouraging is by pushing the city to its very limits.

If suffering wasn't the intention there wouldn't be issues like a workshop being destroyed because they accepted a commission to unknowingly break copyright.
Or the sweepers are pretty much built to encourage people to take advantage of against others.

I think copyright laws is just about enforcing Wing patents for singularities. Hence why those patents only change after long periods of espionage and entire Wing wars. Smaller patents likely get enforced in a more mundane way without requiring the threat of Claws.

>no reviving the dead

I found it funny how Hong Lu's family is all about finding immortality but Hong found a type of immortality and his sister immediatly wanted to kill him for breaking a taboo. They are allowed to look for it as much as they want, but they are not supposed to succeed.

In a way its pretty funny that in a setting with dragonball tier superhumans and singularities that completely warp reality, the strongest organizations are tax collectors and the patent office.

Its either that or getting a patent can occur for non-wings too but tends to be very difficult.
But either way the point remains as LoR had a workshop get claw'd because they were unknowingly working on a patented tech from stolen information their client had provided when making an order.

Immortality is probably fine in the head's laws but reviving people is a nono in the same way Dante's bullshit healing powers are fine because it's "rewinding" people.
Also his family freaking out over a taboo being potentially broken is probably because they are responsible for Garion wrecking shit in the past H-corp and obliterating the kongs

Because the circumstances of her death were an exception the city's usual hostilities, and Angelica herself would've been more than capable of some random break in. A lot of his anger stems from not knowing what the fuck caused the pianist, and survivors guilt thinking his past actions could've prevented their deaths if he at-least was there at the time. The sad truth is Angela and Carmen caused it, and there's little to nothing he could've done to prevent it. Another person could've distorted on the same level threat as the pianist in any nest or backstreet. Angelica and the baby just got unlucky.

Oh I must've forgotten that story.

He is built different

My bets on the freakout being because they don't actually know why the head raided them.
Something like unbeknownst to the rest of the family the kongs made a deal with the research group for the bough while contributing to Angela.
Which would explain why the bough within the family vault instead of an L corp facility despite the family being unaware of its value.

loland causes suffering to others through work as a fixer

that's that and this is this

abno causes suffering to loland

that's this and this is that

loland goes on a warpath after

that's that and this is this

loland causes suffering to others through work as a fixer

proof?

Pluto, if you believe Roland was at fault.

Pianist collateral

Pluto's thing was before the pianist though

Pluto was the despairing fixer Roland talked to on the phone about a dickass contract, it was something that happened before the Pianist. It was confirmed in the artbook.

Do you think angela masturbates during the few days she has a biological body?

I thought that dickassery was after the pianist.

Is Limbus worth playing? I haven't touched it since one of the crab boat event. Hate that they made it a gacha.

Roland and Angela aren't really romantic though.

COPE
writing the book together means marriage

Roland is like Me is a hot playboy chad with deceased wife and i don't want to remarry just to have sex
angellaxronald OTP

Nothing to add just found this cute art yesterday browsing xitter

The scene was set to parallel Roland failing to get a Nest permit because of fineprint bullshit, which was before the Pianist incident.

I know it's meant to be a dystopic hellhole of a setting but the Head is a fairly ideal form of ruling "goverment" with how little they interfere outside it's few rules.
The people of the City are allowed to carry weapons and defend themselves everywhere and matters of private security being left to corporations and independent Fixer offices is also ideal.

asking this when Dongbaek absolutely PENETRATED him onscreen in canto IV

no

fuck was meant for

defeated the distorted ensemble as the final duel is happening. Realize before the reaveal that blue boy an loland is avenging the same person. WTF they are in-laws. The hypocrasy of loland calling blue reverb a mad man when they are both on a warpath to kill Angela.

He's married (to a whore)

dogs up his sister's corpse and has a friend turn it into a flesh puppet

fondles it in front of his brother in law

DOOOOOOOOD THEY'RE LIKE... DOING THE SAME THING BROOOOOO

replaces his wife with a glorified sexbot

Blue Femboy literally says that he does not care about avenging Angelica, and instead just want to distort everybody in the city.

He lied, anon.

angela and puppet Angelica are the exact same thing dude! basically the same as far as Roland and argalia are concerned!!!

Sorry guys, im late today. Thread is over, you can all go now.

ehhh ahhhh uhhhhmmm

ruina thread

hey anons check this out. Normally this dude's unique gold page self staggers him. But its coded as regular stagger damage, so you can survive with 1 stagger if you give the keypage grit. If you also attribute mirage then you can then regain half of the stagger lost. I also attributed mind hauler so the librarian can easily regain all their stagger back to continue spamming it

Grit is busted, yes.

got a few lore questions before thread get archived
i dont really understand what makes kali so special rather than being a colored fixer or are colored fixers really special.
Did B. started the smoke war?
I think purple tear is really cool does she appear in other PM related media?

Nothing but like with donteh's revive/rewind we all pretend that she is
Yep, he did.
Check leviathan

i dont really understand what makes kali so special

She got two EGOs: one by herself and one from NT; also she's too stubborn

are colored fixers really special

Most of them have some sort of quirks so kind of?

Did B. started the smoke war?

Along with Dias

does she appear in other PM related media?

Only in LoR so far

Distortion is a symptom of a phenomenon that was already affecting people before the Light. EGO and Distortion are two sides of the same coin and we already have multiple canonical cases of EGO acquired before the Light was spread. Everyone from Lobotomy Corporation who speaks about what the Light is like is only telling you what it was HYPOTHETICALLY supposed to be like. They're not definitive sources, nobody is. The Light is still an unknown factor with power beyond what Lobotomy Corporation seems to have expected.
It's entirely likely that letting the Seed of Light go off unmolested would've caused fewer distortions, but blaming the interruption for every distortion as some people are wont to do is just wrong. Carmen isn't the source of all distortion, but she does cause many, and NOBODY at Lobotomy Corporation knew she was in the light, so if there's anything in particular throwing off the intended function of the light at this point, it's probably her.

Kali not only has more of a connection to the Light in her than the vast majority of people, she also has a strong enough character to maintain two EGO at the same time.

Oh, wait
I forgot about Leviathan
She was there for a moment

art.jpg - 842x1191, 685.38K

She created her own EGO without any help, that alone puts her on a special tier. Then when given the Mimicry EGO she's on par with an Arbiter and several abnos at once. Color is then just a callsign to say this person is above your standard grade 1.

Coloured fixers have superpowers. Red Mist could manifest E.G.O. even before the seed of light because she's just that chadly, Purple Tear can teleport between dimensions, Black Silence can summon any weapon with their gloves, etc.

Easily my favorite general reception. His clothes weapon and attacks are just perfect.

SUPERPOWER of FRIENDSHIP

but she does cause many, and NOBODY at Lobotomy Corporation knew she was in the light

pretty sure both binah and X knew, probably hokma as well. This is coming from the cutscene where binah asks if X can hear her in the well

colored fixers are pretty special but also she obtained personal EGO, which is a class of achievement all its own

no one individual started the smoke war, but he participated in many of the deals it started over, and intentionally so

briefly in Leviathan, inevitably in Limbus but not yet

Yeah pretty much

Binah knew she was in the well because they were using her corpse as the bucket. Binah was referring to that one A sephirah's habit of sitting next to her Cogito tank and acting like he can hear her.
"In the well" does not mean "in the light" either. If the light had opened a direct path between the well and the human mind, everyone would've become an abnormality.

man we are the baddies

KKcZoewoOr8.jpg - 2500x1216, 969.94K

wdym she has two ego i thought mimicry is her EGO.Maybe i got gaslighted to thinking she was a jobber because i didnt understand what garion.
where can i read about the smoke war

What about Blue Reverberation? Is his power supposed to be speed? Or his charisma?

Kali's EGO is the suit. The sword, Mimicry, is an extracted EGO that she managed to tame for herself without any qlipoth deterrence.

Her prototype Mimicry is extracted abnormality E.G.O.
She also has personal E.G.O. It's the transformation with the mask and coat.

mimicry is her EGO

Nope, that's the gift/payment from LC
Her real EGO is her blood-colored armor

where can i read about the smoke war

Some LoR pages and Limbus, unfortunately

resonance presumably
he's also incredibly charismatic and manipulative

Vibration. The noise he complains about is a side effect of his personal ability to cause and take advantage of "resonance".

Oh wow, do we know now whats extracted ego is and how is it different from manifested? Are we going to saying that library is Angela's too?

do not make bullets that penetrate concrete walls

Time to develop the Lasgun.

Not a bullet, so it can be made stronger than concrete wall

The Red Mist, her personal armor, is her EGO. You wont see another person develop that same EGO, in theory anyway. The sword is like the EGO the agents in LC use, it's not unique to her.

Well you can have clones, and spare bodies but 2 people with the same brain cannot be running around at the same time for more than 24 hours.

Wedge office lolis both look identical because one of them got ganked on a job and is having to use her partner's spare body.
R-corp just has a battle royal with cloned troops and whoever wins gets to then be part of the pack.

Extracted EGO is from abnormalities. Can only be made by technology. Manifested EGO is from people. Can just happen when they're pushed to the limit.

Are we going to saying that library is Angela's too?

And the Lobotomy Corporation facility was Ayin's.

Abnormalities are extracted from people originally as well. Or they used to be people themselves, I can't remember because of the hilarious original translation.

Did you not play Lobotomy Corporation? The whole game is based around you extracting EGO from the monsters to give them to your guys to make them stronger lol. And the main difference is that extracted EGO have their own consciousness, and if the wielder is not strong enough the EGO will overpower them and possess them. Meanwhile a manifested EGO is made of your own mind, so it is safe to use since you can not get possessed by yourself.

Her second E.G.O. is the ability to spontaneously manifest heavy metal music whenever she gets angry enough. youtube.com/watch?v=o1LbcTs31Rg

What abnormality you get out of a person is entirely unrelated to the person. There is no scrap of "human" left under the abnormality. In fact, in order to get an abnormality rather than just a painful death from Cogito injection, the person's conscious mind has to be completely destroyed by staring directly into the Well at length before they try the Cogito. The whole point of EGO is that it comes from the specific person who manifests it.

What abnormality you get out of a person is entirely unrelated to the person.

Yes, but is it the person transformed into an abnormality, or is the abnormality extracted from the person?

Honestly I hope we get to raid the Library in Limbus Company, it'd honestly be peak to have to fight against ruina builds with your sinners

You can run burn builds on Malkuth's floor

Solem Lament Yesod does DING DING DING damage to YOU this time

IDs might be explored a bit since the Library is connected to other realities, so we might get things like Floor of Art summing Ring Ids like Yi-sang and Outis to fight you

You can also have hype moments like Vergilius acting immediately the SECOND Roland shows up because he thinks he's still in rage-monster mode - he couldn't possibly know Roland has changed - and also RED MIST showing up to trash your facility for the THIRD FUCKING GAME, Binah aurafarms simply because it'd be funny to see the sinners collectivly shit themselves at walking in the Floor of Philosophy and seeing an Arbiter of the Head waiting there for them, BLOCKMA and Dante doing time shenanigans to counter one-another

Possibly a new Library floor, Da'at/Director's Office

It was something like cogito from the well is forced upon someone effectively forcing immediate distortion upon them. I can't remember why they manifested what they did though, it seems to pull from a shared subconscious sort of system?

The thing involved in the extraction process cannot be reasonably called a "person" with an individual identity and sense of self anymore.
Being that abnormalities that emerge from the River entirely unprompted don't seem to be a special different class from ones made out of people, I would say they're extracted from people rather than being transformed from people.

I do not think that you need to have super powers to become a color fixer, you just need to be the best of the best, and the ones that super powers happen to be the best. The Black Silence's gloves can not really be considered a super power, since it is just a "regular" piece of technology, like any other weapon or enhancement.

Luv me Head
Luv me Arbiters
Luv me Claws

PEAK PEAK PEAK!

Need a scene of Chesed inviting the sinners for some coffee before officialy starting the reception.

In essence: The River is the collective unconscious. Abnormalities are ideas residing within the River. By putting Cogito into a person who's had their individual sense of self pretty much eradicated, you can cause them to "distort" into a representation of an idea on the mind of the collective unconscious, rather than a creature specific to their worldview.

At best it will be our final 1st April event
At worst we'll slay LCB in LC2

please spoiler that white damage, its reddit energy hurt me irl

I am still not sure if there is literally a river under the facility that they draw from with a bucket or if was all a metaphor.

It's a literal river because it has to be palpable for 14 year olds.

The "bucket" was the tree shaped mass of nerves and brain tissue.

God I hate Angela so much it's unreal.

it's like this

its 50/50 imo
Im pretty sure the literal rivers are emphemeral and can seemingly manifest and de-manifest at random in parts of the city. It would explain why they are so hard to find

Rather than superpowers most Colour's have a unique advantage that others lack.
Kali's was her strong affinity with the light/EGO allowing her to weild extracted EGO as if it where no different to her own.
PT's is her abilitty to travel worlds(?) giving her a unique insight on the situations she finds herself in.
Argalia's is his remarkable ability to make connections allowing him to have syndicates and associations under him ontop of being able to lead a group of very very distinct personalities.
Vergilius's is his supernatural intuition that guides him to success.

Really the only one that hasn't had anything special to our knowledge is the Black Silence and that's partly because we don't know much about Angelica's capabilities only Roland's who was in general just a very well rounded fixer.

Same but it's... different hatred now.

Vergilius's is his supernatural intuition that guides him to success.

he also has literal bloodfiend eyes that he presumably got from a high level bloodfiend he considered a friend

what LOR pages should i read? im really curious about Benjamins loyalty to ayin i dont even know how his brain got extracted and put on the toaster.

It's not supernatural intuition, it's actually the flow of the world guiding him so he could babysit Dante.

this smells like a tertiary
please tell me you beat both previous games

Read every page you get, and get all pages.

I can't wait for Limbus Company to collapse all the mirror worlds into one singular true existence through Dante's chain of progression.

what pages

Nikolai's if I remember right

i dont even know how his brain got extracted and put on the toaster

Angela did some funny prank on him according to SoL script

i just finished the game.
it was fucking peak.
what are some similar games that can i play? dont say limbus please

killing every mirror world is unironically a smart plan and N corp is correct to do so. Erlking showed that you can fuck with other mirror worlds so what's stopping another N corp from nuking every other world first?

Ohkay.
Lobotomy Corporation then.

similar games

i played that shit.

Mirror worlds are possibilities not realities.
Another N corp can't nuke every other world unless those possibilities are realized in the real world.

i have beaten ruina WTF i just realize i have 300hrs into this game unmodded and i havent read any of the individual character pages.

I am glad they choose not have Roland cucked in the LoR version of this. Though having Astolfo going to the moon would have been a cool story i think.

Seriously though, there is indeed a character named Astolfo in LoR, but he only appears as the narrator in Roland's bad ending, i wonder if he somehow was also important to stop Roland's rampage in LoR too?

Play Limbus because it's ACTUALLY peak. 4/10nia sucked compared to Limbus.

I haven't played it but often times anons mention slay the spire.
Though that is mostly for it being a rougelike deckbuilder.
Aside from that I don't think there's much else.

You mean card-wise or with some story where you got pyrrhic victory against all odds while killing innocent people? Slay the Spire if cards and... eh, Spec Ops The Line if the latter.

Some of them are funny, some are sad. They are all worth reading.

Btw do not forget the General Invitations, which are invitations that happen using random cards.

there is indeed a character named Astolfo in LoR, but he only appears as the narrator in Roland's bad ending

Doesn't he appear in one of the realizations telling Roland to stop before he goes too far?

tfw have raging autism for Project Moon and Yoko Taro's works

both of them are capped off with a fucking gacha, a game type I do not want to partake in

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

If The Head had thought there was even the slightest chance that Argalia was an actual threat to their power he'd have a gank squad of Arbiters and Claws assraping the Killing Roland Fanclub faster than a member of The Middle killing someone's entire family over a relatively minor sleight

Yeah... But at least Taro's gachas are done for good.

Gacha are the ideal for of video games.

action devil may cry like PM game soon
EO dungeon crawler like PM game soon

Sure, but maybe after they are done with Limbus and the follow up gacha.

follow up gacha.

tru....st........the....pl...pla...p.......

10 years of nothing but gaycha

I better see the best arpg of the century or else, director...

Limbus is fine. Most of the critique you see of it is rooted in delusion.

but it's a gacha!

And Ruina was a deckbuilder, the genres people expect you to take as derogatory by default are not necessarily bad.

2 years*
They are currently setting up an actual HQ so they could make shit that is not glorified excel spreadsheet simulators.
Let's hope they are not gachas.

I'm almost at the endgame. I have the ensemble left and Binah and Hokma realizations. Which one is the best, Red Mist+Myo or PT+Myo? Is there a good Xiao burn build or do I have to have a smoke build?

he did move on
sex with angela

Project Moon Anarchy Reigns.......OUGH........

Xiao decks are just generic goodstuff because burn as an archetype isnt very good. Myongest is also the strongest on yesod's fllor

PT + Myo.
Myo + The Strongest or Red Mist + Myo's Prowess is a stupidly lethal combo so you don't really wanna run Red Mist and Myo at the same time.

Yeah, the game have been a breeze ever since PT+Myo on Yesod's floor. But which abno pages are the best? I've been kind of picking them at random except Chained Wrath

roland and angela had sex while her body was human

When she got turned back into a machine there's just blood and crush foetuses in where her uterus would've been

how will loland react?

Clean is fantastic if you're already abusing Myongest
Violence (on the off chance you generate enough minus coins to see it) is fantastic
Repetitive Pattern Recognition is pretty good
Dark Flame breaks so many boss fights it's hilarious
Funeral's pages are great against single bosses in particular

Flabbergasted since she never turned back into a machine.

minus coins

Negative emotion coins, my bad.

I am thankfully not autistically attached to either, but I also like both and it's very disappointing when a company goes down the gacha pipeline. I'm not overly offended when a game gets dumbed down or something to appeal to a wider audience even if it might lose me as a fan in the process, but becoming gacha is the one thing I find outright insulting and the ultimate act of selling out. The worst part about it is that it actually works. The only forgivable time a series has ever sold out and gone towards gacha for me was Blazblue because that at least had the decency to be a complete failure.

His ass just feels so incomplete without his wife constantly pegging him on a daily basis

Equip Purple Tear on Yesod while giving him the Red Mist and Myo passives. The only downside of this strategy is that Purple Tear makes Yesod a crossdressers.

If you want to dick around, one strategy you can use is to equip Purple Tear on Binah's floor, use all the devensive dice passives and play only on the guarding stance for the extra defensive dice power. Binah's floor has an abno page that forces the enemy to always clash with the selected ally no matter the speed, so you can turn the PT librarian into a tank that pulls the strongest attacks into him, while also dealing some massive stagger damage. And as a bonus you can use "Overcharge", that one Warp Clean up Crew attack that has 3 attacks but stuns the user as a downside, but if the PT is on the guard stance, it will not be stunned.

I loev Laetitia

Gacha isn't a genre howbeit.

there should have been an ending where they both forgive each other but then just go through with the original plan with angela turning into a human and then roland hands her the list of stuff she's gonna do and at the very top he scribbled "sweaty babymaking toaster sex"

Neither is open world. Or roguelike in the way 95% of games use it.

It's the same vibe with better chars.
