All this talk about the upcoming stuff on the roadmap and no one mentioned that chapter 4.5 is The Magic Hell Bus: Strange Seas Ahead! Embark on a Pelagic Journey! All Hands on Deck to Remodel the Bus!

They are leaning into the Magic School bus meme and chapter 5 is about Ishmael.

Can confirm playing in Japanese seems to have no issues? Haven't done Spicy yet though.

Also they seem to have added new backgrounds for abnormalities, Pink Shoes now it's filled with pink ribbons (and also seems... easier?)

Pink Shoes was always easy. Blitz down the big guy on turn 1 so you don't have to deal with his big moves then just auto your way to victory.

They haven't apparently, there's no mention of it on the User Agreement, it doesn't pop up on install and Task Manager shows no BattleEye process.

And given Destiny 2, which uses it, has it on the User Agreement and it pops up on install (which made me not install Destiny 2) it means there's no Battle Eye yet. No notice about that though, they could be waiting to implement it or dropped it after bad reactions in Korea.

This game has two mood. It's either tragic with long chapter describing the character backstory or it's just complete chaos withouth any restrain from the character.

Since the LCD exists, I wonder if Iori got her funding after all, or if someone else is heading that up. Assuming it’s the former, must be awkward if she and Vergilus ever bump into each other at the office.

Not necessarily- Ebony Queen’s Apple is a WAW (albeit nerfed by Qliphoth Deterrence) but the only EGO we’ve got of its is HE grade. And even in LobCorp some EGO didn’t have the same risk class as the abnormality.

Plus, we have three different 4th Match Flames in Limbus alone - a TETH and two HEs.

I would like to see what they do with WAW and ALEPH egos in Limbus myself as well, of course, but there’s a certain level of expectation management to be had

Being a Distortion doesn't necessarily mean you have to be dangerous to other people. If his mother was a perfectly harmless Distortion and he still killed her...

It's also very possible that this was not really an in-character Meursault quote: All of the lines spoken in that context from the character trailers are iconic direct quotes from the source literature, and not necessarily reflective of in-game events 1:1.

Would it? Mersault killing his Distorted mom out of necessity would just be a PM twist on the novel Mersault's mom dying, which he had nothing to do with. The dead mom thing mostly matters for how weird his reaction to it is, and that can function in both instances.

The Absurd Murder bit came later on.

That one is different though, in the novel it's "Today Mother died"

It could have been to dodge copyright issues though.

This is not a direct quote:
https://twitter.com/theredmists/status/1649351982618951681?s=20

The iconic first sentence in The Stranger is "Mother died today". Meursalt doesn't kill his mother in the book, although the first few chapters are about him sort of emotionlessly going through the motions at her funeral.

Also that exception post gave me PTSD from work from when I discovered someone set up coordinates with lots of decimals as strings which lead to conversion issues and being unable to convert them properly in different language locales.

I can't wait for the bug that turns a 27.5% boost into a 275% one but only in Japanese.

Since we are in the speculation space, I'm pretty sure all Identities of the Sinner (except the base one) are dead. Shi association fall the same way they did in LoR; WCorp is probably going to die since they replace Rose crew; 7Section get booked in the library; LCB executive get murdered by N Corp; N corp get murdered by the sinner and so on and so forth. They are either booked by the Library or killed by their version of Limbus Company. The only reason that the base Sinner aren't currently dead is because of Dante, who is their saviour. Think about it, there is twelve Sinner and Dante is their manager.

Dante is basically Jesus Christ. He brought them salvation by being... there I guess? I don't know. He doesn't seem very wise at time, even though his decision turn out to lead his team to victory... Huh...


SECOND THEORY: The only reason the base Sinner are capable of getting the Golden Thingy is because Dante and the team are so loving idiotic that it works.
Canto1: Lost it because they followed the plan to a T.
Canto 2: They said gently caress it and got it. (Yes, Yuri the straight gave it to them but it's probably because they are such moron that they convinced him)
Canto 3: They had even less of a plan and got the Brought, even though everyone was on the bring of dying.

Conclusion, they only get the Brought by having stupid idea and being themselve. As Faust famously once said: "I ought to become a Faust that believe in uncertainty. When the lack of plan become the plan, all variable become constant."
Rodion even add on this: "A winning gambler create their own momentum and rides it. Fuhu"

LCorp will get all the Brought by leaving this bunch of chaotic mess do whatever they want!


TL;DR:

https://twitter.com/xclkx_/status/1647214514994307072/photo/1

Dante is Jesus Christ and the reason they get the Brought is because they are loving stupid and somehow win. I'm such a loving genius.

welcome to gacha, the true hell dante faces.

also god the grinding is real, even with Ryoshu+Lifetime Stew it's gonna take 26 more runs to clear the even. Runs that only give exp tickets as rewards. And if you wanna do dailies for boxes you have only 4 modules per day, meaning only 2 runs a day without losing modules.

On the upside, you get more nommable shardboxes alone for clearing out the plushies exchange than you'd get for spending the same amount of modules on Mirror Dungeons, and that's before the 24-modules refund, the non-nommable boxes, the thread, the pull tickets, etc. So yeah, it's a grind, but while it lasts it's the most efficient available grind by an insurmountable marigin.
