How interesting would it be if I posted relationship charts and some explanations for in depth thoughts? Well sort of in depth-

OOH! SEEMS LIKE A FUN APP!

HELLO, HELLO! I AM MEPHONEPROMAX - OR MEPHONEPX - THE COHOST OF MOST OF INANIMATE INSANITY INVITATIONAL (AND THE FIRST PROTOTYPE OF MEPHONEX)! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TURN OFF CAPS! PLEASE HELP.

HEH.. THIS ISN'T FUN. MY SCREEN CRACKED AND NOW I TALK LIKE I'M SCREAMING. THAT SUCKS.. ANYWAY, OTHER BLOGS, PLEASE INTERACT! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO INTERACT, THAT'S FINE TOO! WELL, THAT'S ALL XP.

edit: I got it fixed and I can type properly now!!!!

//hello, hello! this is the mod of this blog, @anonymousinsanity call me chez! ive relocaed this blog. heh

lore under the cut!

MephoneProMax, or MephonePX, is the first prototype of MephoneX, yet was scrapped due to unknown malfunctions and was thrown into the dumpster.

‎PX was not the closest prototype to becoming MephoneX, although she does have some features that any MephoneX prototype did not. PX did not obey any of Cobs's commands easily and was one of the very few to ever bite back. Literally. ‎ ‎PX was fast, agile, and deadly, like any MephoneX prototype. She was coded so that every second — even millisecond - counted when attacking someone. Yet, with every attack, she hesitated, ever so slightly. Her systems were always running on 86%, and Cobs needed it to be higher. Better. But with all that junk in her system that wasn't needed? Well, you can see how that ended. ‎ ‎PX, despite having programming to follow, had a mind of her own. Parts of her programming were quite missing and never quite exceeded to properly help her motives. ‎ ‎PX actually tried to kill Cobs once, while he was trying to fix her systems, lunging at him and trying to attack him but failed; which led to her being scrapped in the end.

FEATURES — Can find and track other Meeple products — Can inanimate objects — Can deactivate other Meeple products — Can transport viruses to other Meeple products — Voice assistant

more lore coming soon!

did you get taller while i was gone or are those new heels

@ask-teiru Teirukun can also become taller with taller shoes tho! Rintokun does that a lot and it does make people think he's taller! Kuokun just keeps growing though! He's gonna be taller than the tokyo tower one day!

Today's Seal Is: Scouring for Crabs

[sillyfairygarden]

been seeing bigb in red armour recently in my fantasies... had to make it real ❤️‍🩹

[tritoch]

i know a lot of people (very understandably) dislike the paladin job quests in ffxiv, particularly HW, but i do think it's fun that, now that the pre-ShB MSQ revamp is complete, paladins now have a very cool and thematic in-game storyline that happens without a word being spoken: the development of passage of arms.

none of the below is directly stated in the script, but imo it's a fairly obvious gloss on what the game presents, if you assume a paladin warrior of light. spoilers for all expansions through the end of 6.X.

in the new version of steps of faith, as vishap breaks through each ward protecting ishgard from attack, lucia mounts a final desperate effort to hold him back, with a very familiar looking animation:

but even lucia can't hold back vishap's flame alone, so the temple knights surge forward to assist her. their efforts make the shield visually more powerful and larger. the temple knights here band together in defense of ishgard, and their knightly resolve to protect their home is the difference between victory and defeat.

lucia and the knights do ultimately succeed in defending the last ward, as you have to defeat vishap before their shield falls or you lose.

later in heavensward, obviously, we will get ffxiv's most famous (failed) attempt at blocking something with a shield.

this moment can be read as fairly impactful on the warrior of light's development; as i've noted elsewhere, after the trauma of watching haurchefant bleed out in their arms at level 57, at level 58 paladins learn to channel their magic into healing (and it's called "clemency," or mercy. mercy for whom? who was guilty?), and as someone pointed out on that post, at level 58 dark knights used to get "sole survivor", letting them heal in response to a marked target's death.

for a time, you literally carry haurchefant's shield with you, and 3.3 very much literalizes in genre fashion the idea that even when you are standing alone, your fallen friends stand with you. you don't need to call any allies to stand at your side and raise their shields with you because they are already there, in spirit.

stormblood marks a pretty important turning point in the warrior of light as a combatant, in my opinion, and the text makes this clear in several ways. first, in pretty much all your jobs, you've now far exceeded your trainers and are pioneering new techniques. this is no less true of paladin, which for 60-70 abandons any trainers at all for you to show off your peerless skills in a tournament.

second, stormblood is straight up a story about you getting stronger. at level 61, zenos kicks your ass. at level 70, you kick his ass. why? because you fought and got stronger and developed incredible new techniques and became a one-man army.

for a lot of classes, this story lines up nicely with the big rotation changes or flashy new finishers on the way from 60 to 70. SMN is now busting out bahamut and casting akh morn; RDM gets verflare and verholy; DRG starts harnessing nidhogg's power directly through dragon sight and nastrond.

the tanks are divided in two: warriors and gunbreakers get huge damaging upgrades at 70 in the form of inner release and continuation, each of which lets them hit the same button many times for lots of damage and satisfying animations. paladin and dark knight get more protective abilities; dark knight gets the blackest night, and there's been plenty said about that already by pretty much everyone.

paladins get passage of arms. instead of a relentless new attack (and you get requiescat at 68, which is a way bigger deal for your dps rotation), your big reveal at 70 for zenos in your fight in ala mhigo is a superior way to protect your party, a shield that lets you stand for your allies so they never have to fall for you again. it's lucia's same shield, except you need no allies' shields to reinforce you, proof of your martial prowess and your ability to transcend limits, and perhaps in truth a reminder that you never really stand alone.

in many respects passage of arms should really feel like a paladin signature move to you now if you are playing it at this point, because you should be popping it in pretty much every fight (you are using your mits, right...?). basically every FFXIV fight has at least one big AOE with downtime that warrants passage of arms usage, usually after the mid-fight add phase with slowly filling bar. since that AOE usually drops during downtime, there's no reason not to pop passage of arms (which otherwise restricts your movement and actions), and even on normal, sometimes every little bit counts on a damage check even if it means dropping DPS (thinking here of harrowing hell P10N on release, which was...less consistent for a lot of roulette parties than you might hope).

so from 70 onward, passage of arms is in a sense a paladin warrior of light's signature move, and certainly the one a player gets to most actually enjoy (since if you're using it, you're by necessity not doing anything besides moving your camera and admiring your sick animation). it doesn't have any competition in terms of spectacle until confiteor, and those you're usually throwing out in the middle of movement.

it's such a signature, in fact, that the only other person shown using your one-person version of passage of arms is your greatest admirer, who studied your legend for over a century.

and it's when he fails (should've popped arm's length, bud) that the warrior of light decides they can't let their friends fall for them, and sends them away with the transporter beacon. this is all wrong: you were meant to die for them, not the other way around. yours is the shield that stands between your allies and defeat. it is you who will win this passage of arms and break your opponents lance. and you do.

and then later, when they need to quickly establish zero's domain as a place of fallen grandeur, the home of someone who once believed in heroes but is now a cool and cynical vampire hunter d, what do they use? a decayed statue of someone in the paladin endwalker gear doing the passage of arms animation, of course.

from a visible instantiation of knighthood as a joint effort to defend what is sacred, to a tribute to the fallen friends whose memories stand by you and animate you, to a symbol of the wol's power as emulated by their allies or darkly mirrored in other shards.

not bad for a mit button you hit once per fight and otherwise never think about!

my nidus is clingy

i am deep in this doodle comic's WIP so I don't have any new single images and maybe spoiler but I just had to share maybe my fav human clickclack out of the whole damn thing he is so Ollie Johnston coded to me

[confused-prefect]

Mk mod here, gonna do another poll cuz I’m curious

For context as to why all the options are third years: Yuuchii is 18 so I figured it’d be the safest option for her to pursue options within her age range

[gyaruofnrc]

Here, for tomorrow. The Ides are upon us.

🔪

Ooc question, but what is Ides?? I’ve seen it tossed around but like- what’s it about? I’m really confused

okay so, there's this thing that happens to me whenever i fight tenna, but doesn't happen to anyone else. At the end, when he's rapidly flipping through channels until eventually powering off, i've always gotten this weird screen effect overlaid.

video demonstration:

and some stillframes, in case it's hard to see:

Literally no other playthroughs i've watched seem to have gotten this, and i'm pretty sure it's not a youtube encoding issue or dropped frame, as it lasts for multiple frames. I've seen this on multiple devices, so it's not a device issue. And it's not due to using violence, i got to 1000 points my first playthrough and i think it still happened.

I always had thought it was a unique glitch effect or something, and brushed it off. But when i started looking at it closer, i realized it's not that simple.

It seemed, from my squished and warped screenshots, it was a collage of multiple sprites. Like, I could see the big ones, like the Undertale "GAME OVER" text, cooking show backgrounds, two versions of Kris's room, etc. But there were also smaller ones, like a Lanino sprite, Zapper sprites, the Knight, the "TEARS" word art doubled, and off in the corner, Spamton's shop sprites.

This was almost a week ago, and after not finding anything of note, i shrugged it off and assumed it was some weird collage of a bunch of random sprites.

Then, a few days ago i got UndertaleModTool. Unrelated, i had just wanted to see if i could figure out modding Deltarune. But yesterday, i was just scrolling the "default" texture pages, or the giant texture sheets with every sprite and sprite component in the game. And guess what i found.

the fucking collage

It was just?? a texture sheet???? squished to fit 4:3??

Like, I'm posting this mostly because im happy i solved my dumb little mystery. But also i'm now more confused cause like, why does the game render a whole ass texture sheet in place of some static? And why only me??

If anyone else has insight on this, or has experienced the same thing, i'd love to know if there's a connection, or what the reason behind this is. I can't think of it being anything other than a bug, but what would casue this??

elder scrolls elves are great because they appeal to both my desire to fuck an elf as well as an alien

[salty-an-disco]

I get why the devs chose not to show us the relationships' statistics in-game, but maaaaaaaaannnn, I would LOVE if we could get them at the end of a run just to see where we ended up standing with everybody. It'd also be really fun to compare runs and see how different MCs's relationships look
