As discussed previously, Adam is probably more based on Adam Kadmon, not Adam and Eve. Which fits his plan being helping everyone ascend to a "higher" plane of existence as beings of pure thought given shape. Adam and Eve Adam would probably be trying to purge humanity and revive Carmen to start from scratch.

Nah, I’m 99% sure he’s not based on Adam Kadmon. I have a reason for this but will hold off until the end.

"I guess I'm not needed anymore! Time to die!", she'll say and then peacefully self-deactivate. Nothing to worry about, y'all.

Wait, I know how this goes, Carmen shows up trying to give a book to Gebura, only for Gebura to get blasted into a coma so she has to give the book to Tiphereth inst-wait poo poo wrong series.

To do that I would have to build an entirely new facility from scratch, custom for the purpose.

Do I really want to play through the ENTIRE GAME for a fourth time just for one day?





No seriously I don’t actually know the answer to that question yet. I’ll see how I’m feeling when I get closer to being at 100%.

Perhaps as a showcase after the post about the remaining abnormalities, even if you don't show the no deaths you could show the abnormality selection you'd make for it.

That is one upside of being a JRPG villain - if you don't have a big dramatic death scene and there isn't a body, you're definitely not dead.

And in LobCorp, death is just unpaid vacation time anyway.

Honestly, with X having to deal with a megalomaniac, self involved pretty boy with a god complex on his chat the whole time, it was perhaps inevitable his finger slipped.

Really all that happened was that Sephiroth got invited to Smash. It’s pretty hosed up that he bailed on work for it. Didn’t even give a two weeks either.

And now I'm stuck visualizing every Smash character getting an invite via bullet to the head. Guess this explains something about Persona 5; Akechi didn't betray Joker after all, he was just delivering his invitation!

In this case it was just a comment on how Day 50 is apparently a big enough deal that the LP won’t update again until a week after the story lead-in
Also kind of proof that I spend too much time pressing F5 in this thread.

Can't even limit it to checking once a day.
Really really eager to see the ending of this, tbh. I know the general strokes since Ruina kinda spoils things, but I've never actually seen Day 50 be played, and I'm interested in both that in general and just... You know, more from Teequeue's characters?

+1 to that. LC is an interesting game with really interesting lore, but on top of that, this has been a really good LP. How can people do all this work without getting paid for it?

I legit wonder how many people got introduced to the LC universe through this LP.

I never heard of the game beforehand (and tbf LC itself isn't really my kind of game), but this LP has been great, and a large reason I got Ruina (just waiting for day 50 to start before I boot it up), and am looking forward to what I hear the other sequels are.

The big thing for me was the previously terrible English translation. Really killed my interest in it beyond a quick wiki dive one afternoon that I'd long since forgotten. Though in hindsight, I am glad I didn't get the game back then. With how bad my anxiety was back then, I think LC would have made my brain explode.

There's a hilariously loony tunes mod for Slay the Spire based on Lobotomy Corporation which is totally worth playing just for the spectacle of the mod author beating StS' engine into submission. That's how I first heard about LC.

(Someone also made a much better mod based on Library of Ruina, which I don't recommend at all unless you're caught up on LoR because it hard spoils every endgame plot twist)

To give an idea of how crazy the mod gets, the Shelter is a random encounter.

You can stay in it to heal as many times as you want, but after 4 or so heals the Shelter deletes a card from your deck with each heal.

There is nothing stopping you from wiping out your entire deck if you don't notice this.

Well, it makes sense from the story standpoint: the more time you spend there, the more dangerous perspective of going outside seems. And of course :lobcorp: : knowledge is pain plus observation.

It's also worth remembering that losing cards in your deck is potentially very helpful depending on build, so the Shelter keeps its one use case.
