I just realized you timed this on a 5 day, too. Which means you have a self-imposed challenge also slamming you.

After reading up, I can already guess at what it's going to be, and it's going to be amazing :getin:

I really like the looming perspective. It makes it look like One Sin is only classified as Zayin because it doesn't want to roam the facility obliterating employees' minds, not because it couldn't.

Sin tastes better given willingly.

Edit: I just realized we're coming up on Talow's two-week deal with Bishop. It'll be nice to have that plot advance again.

You need a combination of EGO Gifts to equip them, but it's absolutely feasible, I think?

Yeah, that’s the point. Something is going to throw everything for a loop and I have no idea what it could be.

Given we just wrapped up the middle layer's missions? I would say we were due for another round of Core Suppressions; except as previously stated, we can't do those on a Repository day.

I would assume that it is a mission thing. If you open up one department fully you can do its missions one a day taking up 4-5 days. However if you open up 2 you can do both of whatever mission is up in one day, so say Mission 2 of one department at the same time as Mission 1 of the other.

And due to the timing, you need to also be handling the Middle Layer's Core Suppressions. Atziluth appears to be a gigantic clusterfuck, and this is the calm before the storm. We're not likely to have another quiet day in the run.

Alternatively they were literally the only ones available at the time after a facility wide massacre? It is a mystery not even the end of the game may resolve at this rate. Very interested in Chesed's and Gebura's suppressions now.

By that line of logic Michelle/Hod is an outlier as she wasn't anywhere near available after the massacre.

You honk in joy. It's a lovely morning in LobCorp, and you are a horrible employee.

Horrible Goose: roughly the same rules as Punishing Bird, except it forces the closest employee to attempt to suppress it, and when they do it just steals the offender's EGO weapon and forces them to chase after it until they catch it. Unless said EGO weapon is a bell, in which case it consumes the weapon and returns to containment.

Kind of weird that it goes Fourth Trumpet (facility go boom), Fifth Trumpet (undefined), Sixth Trumpet (company go boom), Seventh Trumpet (world go boom). I guess Fifth would be, like, the whole region going boom or something?

Fifth is "poo poo is going down in a bunch of our facilities, and the company is reeling, but still afloat". Sixth is "gently caress, the company's sinking", and Seventh is "welp, our hubris ended humanity".

Yeah, likely these figments are every bit as powerful as the real deal. Probably stronger, actually, since their power is likely based on how they're perceived. The collective unconscious do be like that sometimes.

Unrelated, it slightly bothers me that "Small Bird" and "Long Bird" were just initial names for Punishing Bird and Judgement Bird, but Big Bird stays Big Bird instead of getting a menacing new name too. It feels like it should have also had another name, though I have no idea what it would be.

If the three birds are meant to symbolize Judge, Jury and Executioner, I guess Big Bird would fit into the Jury position. But Jury Bird just sounds kinda weird.

Without some TeeQueue-brand dickery, it'll also stop showing up very quickly - it's just a ZAYIN, after all. And owing to how success rates calculate, the thing is almost entirely harmless to work for anyone beyond a newbie.

...Depending on how big the heal is and how fast the work rate could be, it could have some use as a healing station if you were, for example, completely out of bullets. But there's tool abnormalities that do that job better, albeit with a risk of killing the user/the entire facility.

Happy Teddy Bear isn't terribly demanding at least, but yeah, in the fracas of later Suppressions you'll almost certainly botch it a few times. I want to say its gear is also the worst, or at least competing with the worst in its weight class, too? At least it gives you a lot of it.

The thing with always being able to survive it the first time is that, like the Woodsman, when you're fighting Binah you might need to clear a meltdown on it twice over the course of the fight. It's definitely still safer then something like luminous bracelet though.

Much like La Luna, this entity is listed as "unescaping" since technically the abnormality is the six brothers, they never leave their cell, and just summon the sister when the counter gets low enough. That annoys me a bit, but the sister never appeared on my playthrough and the brothers ended up being a reliable Justice trainer.

Unsurprising, since as TeeQueue mentioned most facilities will have difficulty accidentally spawning the sister. You usually have to try to make it happen.

Honestly I think the reason why Benjamin didn’t warn anyone is because he ultimately thought Angela deserved this.

I mean, remember that the crux of his issues was that he didn't want the project to end. I absolutely believe he didn't realize (or care, even, because who cares what the vengeful AI wants after the fact if after the fact never comes?) until it was too late to stop anything.

Lobotomy Corporation: where multi-track drifting isn't just a challenge, it's something to aspire to.

On another note, now that story content has concluded I took a dive into Ruina. Game good! I wonder if the TTS is still going, though, because four hours just sorta disappeared.
