00:00:06 Piecewise: I'll find the quote after the episode is done
00:00:14 ER: "wow, that speech worked!?"
00:00:25 Devastator: "Lets all go charge this whale."
00:00:46 Devastator: ..I'm really surprised none of the whales have charged the line of cannon.
00:00:57 Piecewise: looked like that one was trying
00:01:03 Devastator: I mean from the side.
00:01:34 Devastator: Yeah, no way can he stand there.
00:01:35 syv: And what in the world can *he* do?
00:02:17 Devastator: It's super effective.
00:02:48 syv: "I should be thanking you", right after he lands facefirst in her cleavage.
00:02:58 syv: And he still goes after the goddamn elf.
00:02:59 ER: "thanks for the treat" in subs
00:03:22 Piecewise: Drop da fucking tree on it
00:03:40 syv: Car has some of the biggest balls in anime history, huh?
00:03:42 Piecewise: Adapt, improvise, overcome
00:05:22 syv: So this guy is the anti-
ER.
00:05:39 syv: Goes to great lengths to ensure the girl *doesn't* have a sword.
00:06:31 syv: He only remembers her as a young girl before she married him.
00:07:00 Piecewise: maybe she died shortly after?
00:07:08 Devastator: he said it was 14 years before now.
00:07:17 Devastator: they had a few decades together most likely.
00:07:30 syv: He doesn't look like he's any younger than 60, so yeah.
00:07:31 Piecewise: unless he became an old man REALLY HARD after like 30
00:08:07 Devastator: Also, he said that she took up the sword again after getting married.
00:08:19 Devastator: so she let him win.
00:08:33 Piecewise: she did cut his sword in half
00:09:09 Devastator: "I'm sorry, but I'd much rather be in service to the clown."
00:09:30 Devastator: Honk, our lord and master.
00:09:48 syv: He just gains another waifu every loop, huh?
00:09:59 Piecewise: Well, he gains a waifu chance
00:10:02 Piecewise: and then turns it down
00:10:05 syv: Oh sweet, she explicitly friendzoned him.
00:10:24 Piecewise: So how are we gonna get this whale out of under the damn tree?
00:10:41 Devastator: It's gonna have to rot.
00:10:57 Devastator: moving the tree is going to be something.
00:11:01 Devastator: and old man man lived!
00:11:02 ER: it'll become a petrified tree stuck on top of a giant skeleton
00:11:10 ER: remaining a landmark forever
00:11:31 Piecewise: We're gonna need a lot of dishsoap and a rope
00:11:34 Devastator: looking at it? Probably about two hundred years.
00:11:48 Devastator: and you'll be able to find the stump for even longer.
00:12:11 Devastator: how did they cut it, anyway?
00:12:12 ER: then he still dies to the cultists, back to fruitseller!
00:12:31 Devastator: Yeah, but that tree's like really thick.
00:12:35 Devastator: how'd they get them in the middle?
00:12:54 Piecewise: I mean, maybe literally
00:13:07 syv: "I want you to help me! So just leave everything to me."
00:13:22 ER: "I don't want to to die here, again"
00:14:00 Piecewise: PLEASE DO NOT MISCONSTRUE THIS
00:14:21 Devastator: "How do you have so much energy."
00:14:25 Devastator: talking to catgirl.
00:15:58 ER: well that was an eventful episode
00:16:16 syv: But soon we get to see them kill Beetlejuice!
00:17:09 Piecewise: "The intangible sword, without regard for range. That is crusch-sama's sword art, famous for its hundred man strike"
00:17:54 Piecewise: Please control your autism now subi
00:18:31 Piecewise: Call him orange Julius
00:18:32 syv: Okay, he does need a good punch in the face.
00:18:50 Devastator: he needs one every morning.
00:19:10 syv: But, yes, Car does also need some beatings.
00:19:16 Devastator: they both need punches.
00:19:33 Devastator: these catkids seem interchangeable.
00:19:42 Piecewise: No, this one has a monocle
00:19:52 syv: This one is just the other boy with a monocle, I suppose.
00:21:51 ER: I dunno, I like Juli, don't see why car hates him so much
00:22:07 Piecewise: He did hit subi in the face with a stick a lot
00:22:08 syv: He's a bit stuck up and jerkish.
00:22:10 Devastator: he got beaten up by him for like ten minutes.
00:22:21 syv: Well, Car does deserve that.
00:22:22 Devastator: and subi is jealous as hell.
00:22:23 ER: "a calamity which all nations have ignored for too long"
00:22:31 Devastator: but yes, he's an idiot.
00:22:42 syv: I don't think he even cares much about the beating. He's received worse.
00:22:53 syv: He hates that Jewels hit on his waifu.
00:22:53 Piecewise: He was being prideful
00:23:51 Piecewise: "Dear Amelia, I killed the white whale, please run away"
00:24:28 Piecewise: I'll tell ya now that the second season does focus on Amelia and subaru a lot more than this one.
00:24:38 Devastator: yes, kill her and the world is destroyed.
00:24:54 Piecewise: I like how their anime teleport has a giggle
00:26:21 Devastator: this guy needs killing.
00:26:29 syv: He's amazing, and horrifying
00:26:45 Devastator: eh, grating on me a bit.
00:27:41 Devastator: you can see the unseen hand?
00:27:49 Devastator: and surprise catkids are the best catkids.
00:27:57 Piecewise: Apparently cat people all attack via scream
00:28:00 syv: Hopefully they don't snap.
00:29:48 ER: "I'm a swordsaint, not a knight"
00:29:57 Devastator: "I'm a knight, but chivalry is for other knights."
00:30:19 Piecewise: Chivalry is for people who don't want to live
00:30:28 Devastator: I have to give trence something like that with his read anything power.
00:31:12 Devastator: little killing machines.
00:32:23 Devastator: ..are those four starfox?
00:32:33 Piecewise: Use the boost to get through!
00:33:50 Devastator: did you not kill him enough?
00:34:26 syv: Yeah, my first thought was that Egan would like that face.
00:34:57 Devastator: Injured follwoing the whale fight.
00:35:08 Devastator: and unlike Subaru, she follows orders.
00:36:18 ER: wow, witch cultists are crazy, actually
00:36:43 syv: I suspect this insanity is unique to Beetlejuice's fraction.
00:36:56 Devastator: it's all that brain trembling.
00:37:13 Devastator: no, that can't be the case.
00:37:22 Devastator: they've killed too many mooks for them all to be super mooks.
00:37:29 ER: think they just get promoted when people higher than them die
00:37:34 Piecewise: maybe only one can be the super at a time
00:37:35 syv: I mean, dragging them into this fight was pretty worthwhile.
00:39:22 Devastator: stab stab stab stab.
00:39:37 syv: You know, I wonder if killing Beetlejuice was worthwhile.
00:39:52 syv: If he gets replaced by someone sane...
00:40:23 ER: I doubt anyone eligabe for that power is sane
00:40:33 Devastator: maybe archbishop of sloth is just insane.
00:40:40 syv: Yeah, I'm betting on that.
00:40:52 syv: I'm pretty confident Car is eligible, I suppose.
00:41:09 ER: nah, he wasn't gifted the book
00:41:19 Piecewise: But he did get hold of it
00:41:25 syv: He's also barely had time to exist in this world/
00:41:28 Devastator: and want to study it.
00:41:29 ER: he's loved by the witch, but not inducted into the cult
00:41:45 Piecewise: In any case, I'll be ready with 23 in a sec
00:41:46 syv: And they keep saying he's smelly enough to be Pride.
00:41:54 ER: which is wrongbad, according to beetlejuice
00:41:55 syv: You know, Rem can locate him by scent.
00:42:04 syv: Why not locate the other cultists?
00:42:17 Devastator: maybe he's smellier.
00:42:55 ER: I suppose Pride would be the one who needs no book or followers, though
00:45:48 Piecewise: pride isn't always about being alone thouhg
00:45:54 Piecewise: just better than everyone else
00:51:18 syv: I'm not so sure they really fit their sins beyond the title.
00:51:26 syv: Beetlejuice... was not exactly slothful.
00:51:37 Devastator: hands do all the work.
00:51:47 Piecewise: I mean, depends on how he defines sloth
00:52:06 Piecewise: he does define it as "A dead ground dragon" at one point
00:52:28 ER: he also seemed to value dilligence
00:52:49 syv: And kinda got pissed off and murderous about anyone being truly slothful.
00:53:03 syv: But seriously, dude was entirely manic, *constantly*.
00:54:02 syv: Hrm, don't have a witch of envy.
00:54:24 syv: You'd think Purity would get Envy, but they're completely self assured. They become witches of Corruption.
00:54:34 Devastator: witch of envy is the main one.
00:54:51 Devastator: elf is the witch of envy.. ;-p
00:55:07 Devastator: lizard knows the score.
00:56:31 syv: "I fought and burned a flower"
00:57:48 Piecewise: 'Read your fugging mail!"
00:59:44 Devastator: ..is there any other kind of letter?
01:01:08 ER: buncha mercenaries roll up and tell you to move
01:01:43 Devastator: "It's all about that fucking elf, isn't it?"
01:01:53 Piecewise: I'm ANGRY ABOUT ELVES
01:02:06 Devastator: Man, the witch of envy mast have been nasty as hell.
01:02:23 Devastator: Not her fault, but it's related to that, yes.
01:02:29 Piecewise: I mean, we've seen what her cult does
01:02:37 Piecewise: they tore the eyes out of a little girl
01:02:54 Piecewise: turned rem into a stretch armstrong
01:04:02 ER: hmm, she's actually wearing different clothes now
01:04:33 Piecewise: Someone actually shook a broom at her
01:05:50 Devastator: "I'm a magic swordsman."
01:06:14 ER: no, spirit arts aren't the same as magic. ;P
01:06:23 Devastator: Magic must defeat magic!
01:08:02 Devastator: I didn't think felix could do anything stealthy.
01:08:23 syv: Felix is totally stealthy.
01:08:38 Piecewise: things have gone poorly~
01:08:44 syv: Aren't magical girls lucky?
01:09:02 Devastator: I thought it was the opposite, really.
01:10:13 Devastator: Cultist used Self Destruct!
01:10:29 Devastator: Do these guys have like spells that summon minions?
01:10:51 syv: Their first spell learned is teleport.
01:10:56 ER: still treating dilligence as a good thing
01:11:11 Piecewise: They don't teleport so much as rise out of the ground
01:11:38 Piecewise: depends if they have to travel through the ground or not
01:11:54 syv: Yeah, guess if it's ground only
01:12:24 Devastator: Maybe they respawn.
01:12:29 syv: And barrier stones protect people?
01:13:03 Devastator: we know elf can fight.
01:15:13 syv: So the infantry eventually did prove helpful.
01:15:31 syv: But not for a reason anyone aside from Car could've predicted.
01:16:45 Devastator: Fan fucking tastic.
01:17:00 Piecewise: Shouldnta looked at that book
01:17:00 Devastator: having an immortal superpowered madman sounds like just the thing.
01:17:05 syv: What happens if he resets?
01:17:11 Devastator: Yeah, maybe the tomb of madness wasn't the best idea.
01:19:02 syv: Does catboy's Eng VA sound familiar to anyone?
01:19:04 Devastator: Elf not gonna be happy.
01:19:15 Piecewise: I'm listening to japanese so NOOOOO
01:19:22 ER: this timeline doesn't get to be real
01:20:06 Piecewise: behold a unthinkable present!
01:20:17 syv: But her voice is normally cuter. It just got more normal there.
01:20:31 ER: after all, you could interpret it as subaru being an oracle whose power is just limited to seeing possible tielines where he dies
01:20:53 Devastator: that would suck as a power.
01:20:53 syv: I do feel like it would be tiring if all this is trashed.
01:21:12 Piecewise: Isn't that the plot of that one nicholas cage movie?
01:21:28 Piecewise: Well, 5 seconds worth
01:21:28 syv: He just gets five minute future-vision.
01:21:49 syv: That was a shitty movie, but the power was awesome.
01:21:55 ER: hmm, I suppose in homestuck all timelines but the main one are inherently doomed, so it would fit there
01:22:10 syv: And yeah, it's a few minutes. I stole it for PS, and debuffed it to be 5 seconds.
01:22:10 Piecewise: yeah but he uses it at least once "Dodge" bullets by seeing all the possible ways he gets shot and avoiding them
01:22:28 syv: He doesn't always look forward five minutes.
01:23:02 syv: Are you being slothful, I suppose?
01:23:08 ER: still prefer my Fork power for interactive things
01:23:18 syv: Fork requires so much work.
01:23:55 syv: It also would be *so* hard to re-use.
01:24:25 syv: He got to say that out loud!
01:24:39 Devastator: I still think it's only when he thinks he's telling someone.
01:24:54 Devastator: he can screw it up when he's not thinking about it.
01:25:05 syv: What about when he was falling and talked to the whale?
01:25:12 Devastator: was being deliberate.
01:25:16 syv: Or the time he used it during the forest dog fight?
01:25:22 Devastator: Again, used it deliberately.
01:25:36 Devastator: doesn't have to be a person, but he has to deliberately say it or do it.
01:25:46 Piecewise: in the subs it was in italics meaning he might have thought it.
01:26:52 Piecewise: Amilia trapped in the nightmare dimension
01:28:33 Piecewise: No more letter fuck ups
01:28:46 Devastator: send diplomat man to do it right.
01:28:52 Devastator: I mean, he's good at this.
01:30:33 Devastator: now that's a title.
01:31:03 ER: We never have seen betty die
01:31:21 Piecewise: Betty is her little sister eh?
01:32:12 Piecewise: You get in the baby carriage
01:33:23 Piecewise: He bribed these kids
01:33:40 Piecewise: with shiny rocks and bugs
01:34:17 Devastator: bribing kids is good.
01:34:33 Devastator: and having perfect knowledge of all the enemies spies is glorious.
01:35:04 Devastator: Subaru likes gloating just a little bit too much.
01:35:09 ER: the power of proactive revenge
01:35:10 Piecewise: He makes good use of his knowledge
01:35:12 Devastator: although I'll forgive him a liiitle bit.
01:35:15 syv: At this point, if people are trusting him, they must assume he's an oracle.
01:35:23 Piecewise: He did go through a lot to get here
01:35:33 Devastator: Yeah, I mean he put together an army to kill a 400 year old monster.
01:35:39 Devastator: so they're gonna be on his side now.
01:35:49 Devastator: so that's what was with the cat ear cloak.
01:36:04 Piecewise: Its nice they explained that
01:36:14 Piecewise: as opposed to amelia just being super dense
01:36:38 Devastator: Bandana man must be bandana kid's dad.
01:36:55 Piecewise: they were both born with those bandanas
01:38:48 Devastator: oh, this conversation is going to be special.
01:39:08 Piecewise: it always is with hime
01:39:22 Devastator: to be honest I'm mostly finding him tedious. But this one should be good.
01:43:08 syv: Of course cultists Naruto run.
01:46:03 Devastator: "Look, Subaru, you're pretty smart, but you're a wimp, okay?"
01:46:22 Devastator: nice of Betelgeuse to just let them do that.
01:46:41 Piecewise: He even commented on it
01:46:55 Piecewise: "is this farce over yet?"
01:46:56 Devastator: I mean, he's just about too sparkly to attack, but..
01:48:22 Devastator: he's not the greatest knight.
01:48:26 Devastator: that's Mr. Dragonsword.
01:48:39 Devastator: yeah, I'll give him that.
01:48:44 Piecewise: one level up from knight
01:48:57 Piecewise: lemme look at the org chart
01:49:10 Devastator: oh, you mean Mr. Dragonsword got promoted above knight.
01:49:12 Devastator: so he doesn't count.
01:49:23 Devastator: I can get behind that.
01:51:22 ER: are you ready-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y
01:52:13 syv: Emilia doesn't like being the princess to protect
01:52:30 Piecewise: I mean, she probably feels a little awkward
01:52:36 Piecewise: this all did come pretty much out of nowhere
01:53:42 Devastator: Super Rainbow Heart Attack Beam!
01:54:21 Devastator: Hah, so he's literally a rainbow knight. ;-p
01:54:32 syv: How are they expecting to stop the possession?
01:54:40 Devastator: ..yeah, should be some plan.
01:56:00 Devastator: Apparently the witch is also a bitch.
01:56:07 Devastator: and I should apologize.
01:56:28 ER: and it's the dick in the tracksuit
01:56:31 Devastator: Maaaybe you shouldn't pick that up.
01:57:13 ER: oh boy, are we finally gonna meet the bowl hunter again for the finale?
01:57:37 Piecewise: Bowl hunter is somethign else entirely~
01:58:23 Devastator: You need a flight item, subaru.
01:58:28 Devastator: help you be in two places at once.
02:00:56 Devastator: ..did he literally bribe the kids to physically restrain her?
02:01:55 Devastator: Yes, how dare you expect a small child to blow the secret!
02:01:58 Piecewise: no shiney rock for yo
02:03:35 Devastator: sorry, burn the sin archbishop, protect the witch!
02:03:52 syv: Oh, that's a great Chekov's gun
02:04:04 syv: This was why Otto sells oil.
02:04:38 syv: That book is good at finding him.
02:04:50 syv: What did those symbols mean?
02:04:52 Devastator: ..did that actually do something?
02:05:10 ER: something like a breakup, I think
02:05:13 syv: I suspect it was psychological.
02:05:15 Devastator: he did learn from kids stories.
02:05:43 Devastator: booty calls, the supreme power in the universe.
02:06:11 Piecewise: He sent her here just to show off he killed the whale, didn't he?
02:06:26 Devastator: no, it's the road between the capital and the mansion.
02:06:37 syv: He's too dumb to plan for that.
02:06:46 Piecewise: but he is very prideful
02:07:33 Devastator: "Puck, can you freeze these?"
02:08:05 Piecewise: Wouldn't get this dramatic moment then
02:08:19 Piecewise: Ah, I see they just hacked the head off it
02:08:27 Devastator: that's a hell of a job, that.
02:08:57 Piecewise: The dragon curled around him. Good dragon
02:09:30 Piecewise: I done flashbanged myself!
02:09:46 ER: that dragon has better be okay
02:14:15 Devastator: Rem is too good for this cruel world.
02:14:44 Devastator: such is the life of the shipper. ;-p
02:14:51 ER: oh, he stole parts of his speech from rem
02:17:33 Devastator: wanna work on extinction a bit.
02:17:36 Devastator: but no, nothing atm.
02:17:40 ER: now we write rem fanfic ofc
02:17:52 syv: Not entirely against that.
02:18:29 Piecewise: I'll be back in a while
02:18:53 ER: the 'forget elf' lobby is strong here
02:19:03 syv: It's been awhile since we watched Surviv.
02:19:16 syv: Writers can change that if they like.
02:19:21 Devastator: I could stream that if you want.
02:19:29 syv: Emilia's chief flaw is being boring and not actually doing much.
02:19:38 Devastator: she needs to do more.
02:19:59 syv: She's nice, the traditional basic boring positive trait that is so prevalent in third-rate romances.
02:21:03 ER: mainly go too hard and get killed
02:21:33 Devastator: surviv.io stream up
02:21:42 Devastator: not gonna have chat open. I'll check between rounds.
02:22:13 ER: because you said "haven't watched that in a while", I think
02:22:23 ER: small mistakes can have large consequences!~
02:22:41 ER: I'm gonna go see if I' allowed to eat cake yet
02:25:13 Devastator: shit, got me on the last barrel.
02:25:20 Devastator: yeah, can quit that.
02:31:30 Devastator: yeah, wasn't happening.
02:31:37 Devastator: should have went down the stairs.
02:34:52 Devastator: had I thrown the nade before starting the second heal it'd have blown up that last guy.
02:35:11 syv: Keybinds are a little odd for me
02:38:52 Devastator: we'd have won that, dammit.
02:39:04 syv: *You'd* have won that. >.>
02:39:09 ER: be careful. there are claymore mines planted in that area
02:39:10 Devastator: no, needed you there.
02:39:21 Devastator: that guy with the machine gun needed you.
02:45:46 Devastator: now that's how it's done.
02:45:59 Devastator: heh, I got that M4 from some moron who hugged a barrel.
02:46:07 Devastator: should have given it to you..
02:46:24 syv: I had two good snipers, didn't need it
02:46:37 Devastator: 828/196 for me, 396/92 for you.
02:47:25 Devastator: also apparently that last guy didn't know you can throw grenades through the bridge windows.
02:48:18 syv: Wasn't a good player in general.
02:48:34 syv: And didn't really run well either.
02:48:37 Devastator: yeah, didn't run into any aces. The M4 guy had a buddy and neither one was much good.
02:52:54 syv: But
Dev is a fucking master of this.
02:54:14 syv: Yeah, that was a horrible spot at the end.
02:54:15 Devastator: sorry, we were in a bad position, wanted to run.
02:54:30 Devastator: coulda done more, I didn't realize that was a M79 on the one guy.
02:54:34 syv: Nah, I died because of my own aggression.
02:54:48 syv: I had a ranged loadout and charged a team while indoors.
03:01:26 Devastator: Those last two were good.
03:01:38 Devastator: nah, they were good, hard to hit.
03:04:55 Devastator: yeah, and I didn't notice you went downstairs. we coulda beat them together.
03:04:58 syv: Still not sure how to use mines.
03:05:11 syv: Prolly not wisest, turned out.
03:05:24 Devastator: only good way I've found with mines is you use them to make your enemy run the right direction.
03:11:42 syv: That worked *great* at the end.
03:11:54 Devastator: Yeah, he was running, so I kept pushing.
03:11:57 syv: I think he was out of ammo for his main gun, though.
03:12:06 Devastator: nah, he had ammo, just got scared. kept pushing.
03:12:12 Devastator: he dropped some, so..
03:12:24 Devastator: and you were ready to kill him when he came back around.
03:12:39 Devastator: I got someone with a mine!
03:12:57 Devastator: dropped it not at those stairs, but about a screen away from them.
03:13:01 syv: I actually managed to think of grenades as useful, for once.
03:13:04 Devastator: someone poked in, and retreated right on them.
03:13:30 syv: Tried to flush the guy in the closet (though you killed him first), and I stopped a charge/looting attempt in the final circle.
03:13:40 syv: Gave myself time to bandage with it.
03:13:50 Devastator: yeah, I'd be careful about those closets, that guy had a big shotty.
03:14:01 Devastator: better to draw fire and throw to the corner you won't go towards, if you use one.
03:14:13 Devastator: then push, and you'll kill the guy or he'll retreat onto the grenade.
03:15:44 syv: Awwww, man that was so close
03:15:45 Devastator: shit, missed the last punch.
03:15:54 Devastator: I clicked in the wrong spot repeatedly. Had him.
03:15:58 syv: I knocked myself out with a nade. >.>
03:21:01 Devastator: ugh, not the best there.
03:21:05 Devastator: bad shooting with that groza.
03:21:10 syv: I guess that was mostly positioning.
03:21:21 Devastator: yeah, they had bigger scopes.
03:21:32 Devastator: and were armed well.
03:23:27 Devastator: that was last round's winner with the autoshotty.
03:23:29 Devastator: I did get a punch in.
03:25:07 syv: Was NOT expecting the launcher.
03:25:18 Devastator: they're not bad.. if you know what is being used against you.
03:25:23 Devastator: they're awful when you don't expect them.
03:25:38 Devastator: and I died to the other guy, not launcher guy.
03:25:54 Devastator: seemingly because I'm the only guy in the game who suffers from the weapon change reload time.
03:25:59 Devastator: that eveyrone else knows how to bypass it.
03:28:03 Devastator: we went.. 2 in seven, eight tries?
03:28:05 Devastator: something like that?
03:29:21 syv: Yup, wiki says that you can use shotguns to set off mines midair.
03:29:34 Devastator: I know shooting over one sets it off.
03:30:27 ER: so, what should we watch next?
03:31:06 Devastator: well we had mountains of madness or whatever.
03:32:28 syv: I'll look for a Re;Zero S2 torrent tomorrow/
03:33:27 ER: welp. guess more phychopass shall have to wait
03:33:59 syv: I think I'd be fine with PPS2 before R;ZS2
03:39:19 Devastator: just something else to watch out for.
03:39:53 syv: I don't see any great way of countering that.
03:40:03 syv: It's pretty much strictly better than frags.
03:41:07 Devastator: nah, you can cook frags even better, and you need to carry a shotty to use it, and you need to shoot badly.
03:41:15 Devastator: it's nasty, but not really important.
03:41:25 Devastator: can't thow it and move, either.
03:41:45 syv: No, he showed that it triggered with any gun.
03:41:50 syv: Shotgun is just forgiving.
03:41:58 Devastator: eh, still nothing important.
03:42:06 syv: The benefit over cooked frags is that you don't need to cook it.
03:42:33 Devastator: maybe it's just my playstile.
03:42:46 Devastator: don't ever like healing in a closet.
03:42:58 Devastator: prefer to be able to cancel it and run if it's a somewhat risky situation.
03:43:26 syv: I don't see that as only being useful to counter healing. Yes, it does do that guaranteed in niche situations, but that's minor.
03:43:45 syv: It's more an issue because it's ridiculous burst DPS that costs very little to do suddenly.
03:44:24 Devastator: yeah, that's a possibility.
03:44:52 ER: the biggest problem is that you need a gun to do it and guns are for scrubs
03:44:59 Devastator: eh, just still not that intimidated. Maybe I'm misjudging it, but..
03:45:13 Devastator: then again, it isn't like I'm ever intimidated. ;-p
03:46:21 Devastator: but no, I just think that it'll split people's attention too much and that'll make them fight worse trying to pull it off.
03:46:30 Devastator: plus if you're charging them, that still can do nothing.
03:47:56 syv: Yean, it's countered by charging.
03:48:05 syv: Then again, it's something that synergizes with shotties.
03:48:41 Devastator: That's true. This with the autoshotty would be something.
03:49:50 Devastator: then again, murdering an autoshotty user is something to remember..
03:55:11 syv: Browsing the sewage plant again, Dubs?
03:57:41 Piecewise: From a new farming/combat game called "Sakura of rice and ruin"
03:58:03 Piecewise: You plant rice and then do sick aerial combos
03:59:06 ER: yeah, probably still won't play it, farming games are maximally snoresome
03:59:44 Piecewise: launch trailer, if you just wanna look at it
04:04:35 ER: you must repent to regain your honor, by fapping to an image of your favored waifu
04:09:05 Piecewise: shit dog, must have tons of honor by now~
04:09:55 ER: it doesn't build up, it's more of a cleansing ritual
04:13:04 Piecewise: No, shit dog has tons of honor
04:13:09 Piecewise: our friend, shit dog
04:13:43 Devastator: ..no, I don't get it.
04:24:27 syv: Shit dog, our lord and savior, is the best.
04:24:47 ER:
Piecewise! now is the time of cabal questioning!
04:31:40 ER: if I were walking upside down on the belly of the artillery machine, would the belly turrets have enough traversal to hit me?
04:42:35 Piecewise: Will your drill be the one to pierce the heavens?
04:43:05 ER: I am absolutely going to get worfed at some point
04:43:57 ER: there's no way I'm the protaganist, I'm just here to establish how strong the enemy is
04:46:44 syv: "I have d20 in all stats and basically infinite resources, but no way am I the protagonist."
04:47:29 ER: that's why I'm not the protaganist
04:49:04 Piecewise: The protagonist probably has d100
04:49:10 Devastator: gonna have to spend a week being pumped up by magic buff diseases and eating sixty tons of gold to beat that. ;-p
04:49:17 Piecewise: or d6 depending on the kind of story
04:49:40 Piecewise: D100: Generic isekai
04:49:49 Piecewise: d6: Re zero style isekai
04:51:06 Piecewise: Yeah, but he gets that way after struggling for a very long time
04:51:13 Piecewise: I mean, he was born from a corpse
04:51:30 Devastator: guts is insanely powerful.
04:51:35 syv: The protagonist has the Ferrous Memento and "human".
04:51:45 Devastator: yeah, that's pretty nice.
04:51:53 Devastator: but gotta be playing, really.
04:52:02 Piecewise: Any other questions? I'm gonna go to bed because I have a ton of fucking shit to memorize tomorrow
04:52:04 ER: yeah but he's *not fuckin playing*
04:52:22 syv: A lot of stories have the protagonist's reason for their protagonism be some unique power or tool.
04:52:32 Piecewise: night all. Had fun with the anime
04:52:37 Piecewise: hope ya'll enjoyed too
04:52:47 Devastator: no roleplaying struggling with hugging the giant woman while riding on her giant winged sabretooth lower body.
04:53:18 ER: though saeko is the one who get the isekai so who knows really
04:54:01 Devastator: hey, anyone can make mysterious backstories of madness.
04:55:28 ER: yeah. Zavirius was a 12 year old who suddenly appeared in the city one day with no memories except for having watched Avengers Endgame localized to the Alkahestian language
04:57:24 Devastator: I see Irony has a clear idea of where to go next.

05:22:10 syv: I'm overall disappointed with the ending of R;Z S1.
05:22:31 syv: The last... six or so episodes felt too much like a drawn out victory lap.
05:22:43 syv: Too much success and too little stress.
05:22:57 syv: And too much focus on relatively boring characters.
05:24:02 syv: It had good bits, but still just took too long.
05:25:22 Devastator: Yeah, I can see that.
05:25:26 Devastator: also too little of best girl.
05:25:33 Devastator: still a very good show.
05:26:20 syv: Whale fight was *cool*, but really wasn't all that interesting on a dramatic level. Was a bit too foregone and straightforward; people hit the thing in elaborate ways, mooks died, people shouted, and then eventually they won.
05:26:44 Devastator: Yeah, I get what you're saying.
05:26:50 Devastator: I do like me some action.
05:27:03 Devastator: You know, the success but failed cult fight was better plot-wise.
05:27:11 Devastator: 'It's working, but there's still stuff you didn't think of.'
05:27:17 syv: Me too, it just wasn't the strength of the show IMO.
05:27:34 Devastator: yeah, outmaneuvering people for the negotiations felt better too.
05:27:39 syv: The whale fight was good, but not *great*; I expect that kinda thing from a well budgeted show.
05:27:42 Devastator: I could see fights working better if he has a couple go throughs.
05:27:56 Devastator: ie, it mostly works, but then he needs to do it right on the second try.
05:28:02 Devastator: ..although that formula would only work so long.
05:28:53 syv: The ending sequence of fighting the cult felt... ehh, a little too open and shut. Formulaic. It did make a great example of using knowledge to plan, and those plans being a bit off, but didn't feel all that great.
05:29:26 syv: Some good parts to it, but for the most part the characters in trouble weren't important, and it didn't feel to me like much was at stake.
05:29:44 Devastator: yeah, could have had a better ending.
05:30:01 Devastator: felt like they needed another five or six minutes of materials.
05:30:51 syv: Bits were good--everything with Beetlejuice I liked, and I *really* like how they dripped information to the deeper plot through him, but mixed it in with his crazed ranting.
05:32:18 syv: Also, his ultimate defeat was just sad.
05:32:51 syv: Rainbow knight was cool and anime and all, but "Beetlejuice chooses to die instead of possessing Subaru because Satella is scary" just... eh.
05:32:51 Devastator: couldn't keep him around, thoguh.
05:32:56 Devastator: there's already bowel-girl.
05:33:08 syv: Oh yeah, he was 100% a one-arc-wonder.
05:33:28 syv: I just think it would've been better if they had a cleverer way of finishing him off.
05:33:35 Devastator: I was interpreting that as Satella kicked him back to his own body.
05:33:45 syv: Or even just didn't give him the ability to possess people.
05:33:51 Devastator: no, gotta have that.
05:34:02 Devastator: it made the first fuckup interesting. Could have done more with that.
05:34:50 syv: Overall, I think the rest of the show was really strong.
05:35:08 Devastator: could have been better? Yeah, but it was a good watch.
05:35:16 syv: The middle was the best IMO, but the start was still great.
05:35:23 syv: Ending was just merely "good", and that's my trouble.
05:35:24 Devastator: Start and middle were great.
05:35:42 Devastator: comparing it to PM3 instead of other, shittier, animes. ;-p
05:36:26 syv: I think I give it an 8/10 overall.
05:36:40 syv: Prolly third in place behind MiA and PM3.
05:36:52 Devastator: I think I like this one a little better than MiA.
05:37:09 syv: I just think MiA is better quality wise.
05:37:17 Devastator: MiA had a lot of good stuff.
05:37:40 syv: And the end to MiA's S1 was a real tear jerker. Almost as good as the Rem stuff.
05:37:55 syv: Basically, MiA was a notch below, but was consistently great throughout.
05:38:24 Devastator: although I felt Rem more than I felt the ending of MiA.
05:38:44 Devastator: that was more consistantly upbeat for the action lead. Even when horrible things were happening.
05:38:54 Devastator: although it fit the character well. Bunny had more time to get used to the situation.
05:39:59 Devastator: so it was well done, just slightly less of a tear-jerker.
05:40:06 Devastator: plus Rem really is best girl.
05:40:40 syv: Subaru is really, really good though.
05:41:02 syv: He's not so much of a great character, I don't think, but he's a really great fuckup.
05:41:21 syv: Very flawed, in a great way for the story.
05:43:25 Devastator: bad in the right way.
05:44:43 Devastator: I will admit he's growing on me.
05:44:50 Devastator: much better than the usual generic protag guy.
