#and their skills increase

Love a self-inflicted time loop. The main character isn’t trapped.  They can stop whenever they want.  But how can they when things aren’t perfect yet?  They can do better than this.  They need to try again.  They can get it right this time.  They just need to try again.  They can stop anytime they want.  Just one more time.  They can fix this. They just need to try again.  There are still things to fix.  They just need to try again.

something about staying up really late drawing unlocks some kinda hidden ability where everything I make looks awesome but at the cost of getting way too little sleep. what is that does anyone else experience this phenomenon

Healing can look and feel a lot like pain, so it's hard to imagine this being a good sign. However, I think feeling like it's getting worse can be a sign that you're healing and you're making progress.

I've been noticing in myself that I feel a whole lot worse ever since I actually... acknowledged I have a lot of healing to do and that I am unwell. I actually allowed myself to entertain the idea, and it's opened the floodgates to me finding out just how bad it got. I'm grateful in a way that I'm getting worse now because I have the ability to heal.

If it feels like it's gotten worse, maybe it could be because you're making your way out of the storm. It's going to be okay.

At the risk of people getting the wrong idea, I can't get over these hands

Just look at how much Genos's hands have changed between when we first see him in chapter 5 and now.

The first set looks more like an amateur garage project. Look at it: no armour, the internals visible, open joints on the fingers, permanently open hole in the palm, minimal affordances for the fingers -- they can bend and straighten but not a lot more, and what seems to be a glorified flame thrower.

And now, just look at the difference. Completely armored, joints closed, minimizing both pinch points and places where fluids can ingress, palm port opened and closed with an iris mechanism, fingers have additional jointing at their bases allowing them to swivel and thumb has additional segment to compensate for the stiffness of the palm. And of course, what spews out is pure murder rays.

I could grumble about not having exactly the same view, but well done Murata for improving your dramatic poses!

I do think Milagro would be Jenny and Jaime’s #1 supporter, but also their #1 hater.

tfw you randomly decide to draw and you draw the hand and come up with this absolutely godly hand with no reference (WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING HOW IS THIS SO GOOD WITHOUT A REFERENCE. IS THIS A SUPERPOWER.)

dude i want to draw like you SO BAD but i can never find the motivation. aaaaaaaaaaaugh >:[

but! love your art fr fr!! <3 /p

WOAH i gift you with my many thanks... PLEASE KEEP GOING ON YOUR ARTISTIC JOURNEY!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!! i know this is such a generic thing to say as advice but practice helps SO SO MUCH even if you just doodle random things for a few minutes each day. being able to draw isn't solely a "talent" thing, it's a skill you gotta put time into cultivating. muscle memory is a really big part of it! the more you train your hands to draw the way you want, the better you're able to achieve that goal.

thank you for the compliments!! i still get so excited whenever i read things like this <3

After a little futzing I realized I was off with my previous post, the Guard Cap in IS2 will in fact go higher than 200K.

Anyway enjoy Skadi Gaming

Math under the cut since it's definitely possible to take this even further beyond

So rather than a set HP cap, the guard cap can proc 99 times per map before it stops increasing an operator's HP any further. It also works off of the current base HP going into the map, which factors in any HP-increasing items you've picked up along the way.

(As a side-note, it seems like any HP increasing items will only scale with the original base HP, otherwise things would get a lot more ridiculous. I've noticed the numbers don't always line up exactly though, so there might be some discrepancies)

Skadi has a maximum base HP value of 4166, and as far as HP items in IS2 we have:

Silent Squad: +45% (6040) Spearhead Squad: +15% (6669)(Nice) Noxious Hemostatic Agent: +20% (7502) First Aid Kit: +35% (8960) Unknown Instrument: +50% (11043) Bend Spears - Advancement: +40% (12709) Blademace: +10% (13125) Bladedance: +100% (17291) Stand-in Actor: +3% (17415) Abrupt Realization: +5% (17623)

A final HP value of 17623, before any skills or passive effects kick in. for context, my Skadi had 10,600 HP before I started redeploying to get the picture above.

Now if we factor in Specter the Unchained and her level 3 module, which gives all abyssal hunters an additional 33% max HP...

18,997 is the final number we get. If we do the math right now that adds up to 487,818 HP. But we're not done yet. There's more.

Aak S2 M3: +80% (Works off of original base HP before artifact buffs) Heidi S3 M3: +30% of Heidi's max HP Skadi S3 M3: +130% (Works off of base HP after artifact buffs)

This brings us to a final, absolutely bonkers wild HP value of 514,434. At which point I assume the game just loads in her health bar as
