My canon for what Rabies would rather be doing is shooting everyone else out of a cannon.

Three-Phase posted:Also can someone explain to me what the hell this "power crystal" talk is about? An injoke based on the fact that this game leaves the default loving RPGMaker assets everywhere as it goes, meaning in earlier versions you've got [Generic Player Sprite] as a placeholder for your savegames. [Generic Player Sprite] is a Golbez-looking fucker, thus the joke about Rabies not caring about any of this plot and just wanting to collect the Crystals of Power was born. I hate having to re-explain a joke, but even that's preferable than having to try to read through the last update. I feel like we made a poor choice just because I didn't think "go with the assassins" was really "listen to the gay raver bunnies exposit and flirt for fifteen years".

We'll never be free of Kila because, as has been foreshadowed, we have each other's contact information, so he'll probably call every five minutes to share theories and gush about his new best bear pal.

Going back to the rabbit's stupid look for a minute. What is that shirt-belt thing supposed to be? Is it connected somewhere, or are you just supposed to drape it over yourself? Either way it looks like it would be such a cumbersome pain in the rear end to wear. Man, all these special snowflake outfits hurt my head.

Inspired by the Rabies fanart, and how (in the LP) we're stuck in this tavern and dealing with the immigration of Rabies into this crappy world full of garbage intrigue, I imagined what would happen if Terra were only slightly less shittier and backwoods:![]() And here's a bonus thing that's really more the level of lazy mspaint quality that I'm usually spitting out: ![]()

I honestly can't decide which set of chompers I prefer for Rabies. Lamprey mouth is twisted and horrific but buck teeth reminds me (in a good way) of lovely Jhonen Vasquez ripoffs that kids in my highschool would draw.

Later, he'll wind up stuck in Hell for eons, then get released and have to listen to some rear end in a top hat robot man trying to sell him on Argent Energy. Ever since the incident with the Infinite Power of Nano-Augmentation, though, he is understandably dubious about alternative energy. I don't think he actually knows how to get back to the Dark World at this point. holy moly

Olive Branch posted:Originally the joke was Chairman Meow but then I looked at Velasquez again and I was like... is that a dog? What the hell is that thing? For a bunch of do-not-steal OCs, it's surprisingly hard to pinpoint exactly what species each of them is supposed to be. You know in your heart this is because each one is some kind of special snowflake half-of-three-things species that nevertheless just comes out looking like a dumb jackal.

I did it! I binge read this entire thread in one day! My GOD this game is... no, game is the wrong word, this... visual novel? I somehow feel even visual novel isn't the right word, since it seems literally only ONE option in the entire game seems to matter on if you get the true end or not? It's not even really interactive fiction. It's just a novel with pictures. A really overbloated novel full of terrible, boring characters. Also, why in the heck does the game not even have you give your character a GENDER until the SECOND chapter of the game? Isn't that something that should've been selected like, immediately in the start back in the Ark? But then again, I guess this would've required the creator to actually consider writing divergent dialogue based on the protagonist's gender... The fanart in this thread is great though, at least we can all be united in our love of our lamprey-teethed cogwheel Savior! All hail!

Not just a jackal, but a jackal explicitly made to look like the Egyptian god of the afterlife. That's... kind of a thing with special snowflake furries, it's never "a jackal", it's always "an anubis". Not coincidentally, this is also why Lucario was stupidly popular. krisslanza posted:I did it! I binge read this entire thread in one day! "Circlejerk".

I know it's late to complain about it, but when you construct a sentence like this? It's called a dependent clause and you don't use a goddamn question mark to separate it from the main clause, for gently caress's sake. What is up with Klace's comma allergy

So I was about to defend Klace's use of dependent clause questions as excusable in dialogue, and then I went back to check myself. Ugh, it's like a bad verbal tic. It feels as though there are supposed to be dialogue trees and PB is just repeating our questions before responding to them (which is rather anime tbh), but then they were taken out.

Velasquez: * Maintains a fully open borders policy when his planet is suffering from famine * Consorts with vaguely ominous powers * Powered ahead with a science project he probably knew was dangerous, and in the end killed thousands of people including all the actually smart people on Terra * Thought building one bar with a good enough apology for said tragedy * Has absolutely no qualms about his own henchmen murdering those close to them to prove their loyalty Maybe the Exodus Project was actually a scheme to get rid of anyone who was actually intelligent enough to question his rule. That's about the only explanation I can think of. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why the hell didn't Velasquez order Endymion and Konrad to kill him to keep their "test" a secret? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() HEY EVERYBODY, GUESS WHAT KONRAD AND ENDYMION DID! ![]() ![]() ![]() You already said that. ![]() And the writer seriously just recycled the line about Endymion getting up and walking away without saying anything. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wow, this is a really good drawing.
