05:24:31 Devastator: will do quest and extinction today.
05:27:21 syv: Yeah, we screwed around with it.
05:27:38 syv: System's crap as is, but I have fun with crap systems ;P
05:28:12 syv: Think I might try and mod my current CQC game system into a grid game, it should be very runnable.
05:37:01 Devastator: also thinking up the proper response Spar would have to The Words.
05:37:19 Devastator: "Halt! What you are doing to us is wrong. Why do you do this thing?"
05:39:43 Devastator: not sure if you'll ever see it, but it helps me settle the character in my head.
05:41:11 syv: What are you referring to by "The Words"?
05:41:35 Devastator: "Halt! What you are doing to us is wrong. Why do you do this thing?"
05:41:40 Devastator: star control 2 reference.
05:42:01 Devastator: you could say that to a combat ship of either of the two villain factions and get an explanation of what's going on.
05:48:03 syv: Yeah, it would suit asking her about the dragon murder.
06:00:29 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:40:23 syv: Working on a system with
MJ.
06:53:43 ER: well, elden ring trailer. looks like what the opening cinematic will be.
06:56:17 syv: ....It's literally just Pumsy's Seeds.
06:56:23 syv: Without the soul/magic system.
07:28:43 Devastator: is kitty functioning?
07:53:23 Devastator: I gotta roll for riding disaster.
07:53:32 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d12: 1 <Total: 1>
07:53:55 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d12: 8 <Total: 8>
08:22:48 Devastator: ..I'll put extinction off a bit longer.
08:24:17 syv: ...Xin doesn't have a similar curse. Aww
08:28:12 ER: unless you wanna dump water down there till it's flooded
08:29:16 Devastator: Just means you need to come up with a way that rappeling doesn't count as riding something.
08:39:04 Devastator: I can think of at least two ways.
08:39:42 ER: other guy is already dead and can parkour, make him do it
08:40:20 Devastator: Yeah, but do you really trust Xin to not kill himself in some way?
08:40:31 Devastator: I mean, there's probably something bad down here. ;-p
08:40:35 Devastator: but you can stay up if you want.
08:43:49 syv: Xin is perfectly fine with being killed, he's pretty experienced with it.
08:44:23 Devastator: do note Xin isn't invincible, he just has +3 to all wound checks.
08:49:07 syv: Close to invincible in this system
08:50:27 ER: listening to brigador music just makes me thinks like, you know what's cool, huge vehicle mounted guns
08:50:44 Devastator: well.. to a good degree, yeah, but Xin gets whittled down.
08:50:48 ER: small arms are baby toys clearly
08:51:04 Devastator: Xin is undead and doesn't really need to worry about normal damage.
08:51:09 Devastator: Rolla has magic armour.
08:51:19 Devastator: I'm fine with you being really tough.
08:51:41 Devastator: also don't talk about vehicle mounted guns and giant wolves at the same time or I'll discuss Alida. ;-p
08:59:16 Devastator: Brigador's that game about urban smallish mecha combat, right?
09:00:31 Devastator: yeah, Alida would need a while to play in that league. ;-p
09:00:59 ER: the biggest cannon blows up like, a block when it hits
09:03:11 Devastator: actually, probably not that long. Get to nine or ten feet tall and she'll probably have enough mass to knock them over with a leap.
09:03:24 Devastator: and once down, just bites her way in.
09:04:50 Devastator: it'll be tough avoiding getting shot up, but she's crazy fast.
09:05:03 ER: they also have some kind of sci-fi energy shields, but might be able to crunch through that too
09:05:48 Devastator: That does sound bad.
09:06:19 Devastator: she's stronger than she should be, but close combat is a flat bonus, not a scaling one.
09:06:59 Devastator: so if it takes raw power to get through, not so good. But it might be optimized to stop like fast projectiles, in which case there could be too much momentum.
09:07:26 Devastator: can stop a bullet, but might not be able to stop like 5000 kg of wolf.
09:07:40 ER: pretty sure shields also protect you from melee like mech stomps
09:08:02 ER: or a bulldozer tank just smashing into you
09:08:15 Devastator: Mmm, yeah, that would give protection then.
09:09:57 ER: though in the game mechs just never get knocked over, which would presumbly be thair main weakness. Something something advanced materials?
09:11:20 Devastator: clearly not mechwarrior 3
09:11:30 Devastator: PvP combat there consisted of infinite leg shots.
09:12:16 Devastator: yeah, you knock the other guy over, because if you hit with enough weapons in the leg it was a guaranteed knockdown.
09:13:09 Devastator: and you could get back up, but by the time you got back up, you'd have your leg blown up and be dead.
09:13:44 ER: hm, alida being pure melee might just not scale too well to tank scale
09:13:58 ER: range gets better at higher scale faster than speed does
09:14:02 syv: I fucking loved Mechwarrior 3
09:14:40 Devastator: I mean, she wouldn't say no to having a gun strapped to her back, but she'd need someone to shoot that.
09:15:11 ER: anyway, I'm gonna go play ashes of ariandel now
09:17:17 Devastator: but yeah, you're probably right. Range scales better than speed. Otoh, I think brigador's a campaign setting, so time would be on her side.
09:18:02 syv: It's deliberate for manabolts to scale better than close combat.
09:18:26 syv: Close combat is a combined defensive/offensive power, so it ALSO means you can protect yourself.
09:18:44 syv: It's more efficieny as well; you simply can't spend finale on CC.
09:19:43 Devastator: that's gonna go pop.
09:21:01 Devastator: oh, do you have an armour set for Rolla?
09:21:03 syv: Could do with a thicker chestpiece, though. Or thinner legs.
09:24:04 Devastator: fashion souls is its own reward.
09:25:07 ER: dancer torso and executioner legs, so... yeah, thin and thick
11:14:15 syv: Need to buy my char a new body in MOOK.
11:15:12 syv: I have great armor, the best gun, and magic... so I don't really have much reason to not splurge on a body. But I can't buy the *best* body, and since I get a free revive every mission, there's some logic to spamming spare bodies with cognition copiers.
11:15:54 syv: But, there's a trick I could abuse for better stats than money can buy. Pay 1000 creds to clone someone with great physical stats, then upload into their body.
11:15:58 ER: just put your mind in a *bunch* of bodies at once!~
11:16:16 syv: ....Except we only have two fleshies with not-shit stats. And those are... Tara and Bob.
11:16:32 syv: And Tara being Naturegirl's character.
11:16:49 syv: I don't think there's any braindeads besides Tara with good stats.
11:17:16 Devastator: I'm sure you could talk
PW into giving you better purchaseable stats or fleshbodies if you wanted.
11:17:36 syv: Nah, I have about 2k, and 2k is d8 robot in all stats.
11:17:58 syv: Just, it feels a little dumb to only get one body when I've been given a free revive.
11:18:09 Devastator: so get a free fleshbody then.
11:18:27 syv: They're 500 for a new one, or 1k to clone somebody.
11:18:37 syv: And they have worse stats than robots.
11:18:52 ER: should have scooped up a random civilian back there~
11:18:56 syv: I COULD buy seven cheapest robot bodies.
11:19:19 syv: Maybe I'll talk to Dubs about it.
11:20:10 Devastator: if I was going to be abusive of the free revives, I'd just posess someone each mission. Take someone's body.
11:20:17 Devastator: not a PC, just some rando.
11:20:30 syv: Then again, Wil DOES have ghost god powers.
11:20:39 syv: Just revived several cities worth of corpses.
11:20:44 Devastator: you were saying
PW let you do anything wiht your magic powers.
11:21:00 Devastator: and the game sounds like it's over, so..
11:21:25 Devastator: infinite respawns and reviving cities worth of corpses.
11:21:45 Devastator: having maxed gear and 2000 cash.
11:21:55 syv: We've had richer players, though.
11:22:22 syv: This char has been in the game since the real mission 2, and has never been able to afford the top tier body, which two others HAVE obtained.
11:22:36 syv: And the best gun is cheaper than it should be, because
Piecewise doesn't do numbers.
11:23:16 Devastator: Isn't two people like 40% of the playerbase?
11:23:46 Devastator: and really, if the poorer players have tons of cash and maxed gear, that only makes the argument stronger.
11:23:52 Devastator: even if they're short one item.
11:25:20 syv: I am tempted to start a robot army.
11:25:28 syv: Buy lots of the cheapest robots.
11:25:44 syv: I have too many spare guns, so that's a minor cost.
11:26:16 Devastator: I mean, I'm not going to say no, but it does sound like the post-rebellion phase of
ER, except no newbies.
11:27:09 syv: No, we have tons of newbies.
11:27:17 syv: And our rich players mostly all died this mission.
11:27:36 syv: Died and lost all their stuff.
11:27:51 Devastator: that is something, then.
11:28:06 syv:
Paris didn't, but he's dead IRL. I died, but didn't lose my stuff. Aside from that...
11:28:11 Devastator: well never mind, then.
11:29:02 syv: I think cloning Tara is my favorite idea. Because Wilfred screaming excessively hostile invectives from a 4'6" girl's body is kinda hilarious.
11:29:31 syv: Though cloning Bob is ALSO tempting.
11:29:43 Devastator: cly you need biomodding to push either option to the limit. ;-p
