#the best combo honestly
Text
finally feel like I'm at a point where I can share this idea!!! so @cookieg122 and I have been working on an AU for a few months now that's a pretty big departure from the Minecraft stuff we've been working on, as it's more of a fully-original concept instead ;o;
this story has a proper name, as well!! titled Codename: IRIS, the plot centers around a younger Khalan, who gets into gaming as a form of escape from his abusive home life and the stress of moving to a new country/big city. but he quickly finds out that the game console he was gifted actually houses a seemingly-sentient AI - of which he names Aya.
the two go on adventures through various video games to stop a different, malevolent AI that's threatening to corrupt the virtual world; all while utilizing futuristic VR technology to do so. but they also take breaks sometimes with more typical PC gaming and meet Antony along the way, who ends up being a sort of "guide" for Khalan (as the kid is pretty new to video games as a whole) :'0
unfortunately, the virtual threat does end up spreading to the real world as well, which pushes Khalan and Aya (who can move freely between the game console and his phone) to solve challenges within the city itself in a race against the clock to stop the threat - just as long as Khalan manages to get back home in time before his dad finds out;;
there's so much more to this story that I can't really cover in just a single post, but I felt like it was finally time to at least reveal the basics of this concept to y'all!! it's been a lot of fun to re-imagine these characters within a "real life" setting (taking place in an alternate version of Earth in the year 203X), though it's still very sci-fi at its core, lol.
anyway! that's all I can really share for now! hope y'all like ;0;

Firstly, HBOMB FINALLY GETS TO PLAY DECKED OUT ON HERMITCRAFT HOLY SHIT!!!!!
Secondly, I made a meme for it
(Thirdly, in case y’all don’t know that BB9 was the start of H’s hermit adoption arc AND the fact that Ren and H got on so well that Ren invited him to join Iskall’s Vault Hunters SMP where he proceeded to be adopted by even more Hermits and show his talent for dungeon crawling minecraft games. Not to mention him repeatedly asking to be allowed on Hermitcraft to play Decked Out 1 and now it’s finally happening!!!)
#hermitcraft#hbomb94#hbomb#thank you Mr Rendog#i’m so excited#and I’m so happy for H cause he’s wanted to play decked out so badly#but also the blue bats 9 obsession is real#you know the worse part about Ren inviting H to VH#is that Ren left before coop vaults were added so they never got to run a vault together#an absolute TRADGEDY#I know Ren has been kinda inactive but I really hope he’s there at the weekend#i miss them!!!!#but H and Hermits is the best combo honestly

Oh hey I hope you don’t mind me asking, this is purely out of curiosity but if you had to picture other duopath runs which characters would you pick and why? :)
Therion & Tressa are such a good combo I’m curious about which other traveler combinations would work well
hm thinking about which ones would be fun…. i think i can think of some that’d be fun
ship ones obvi would be funny, so alfyn/therion Primrose/Haanit, Olberic/Cyrus etc, also i think all of those combos are pretty good and can cover each other, i think Alfyn/Therion probably has the easiest time of it (due to access to steal for equipment and then concoct is just really good) and olberic/cyrus probably has the hardest time of it? i think thats purely because cyrus is frail and might take some investment to make sure he’s not dying every 2 seconds. then again, olberic as a duo is pretty good since he always has incite access. basically cyrus needs saving grace asap i think
Prim/haanit i think mayyybe more middle of the road? you do always get sealticge but its more of a whole thing with just two party members instead of 4, but haanit can hit the big damage and having dancer prim she’s probably easier to minmax damage potential on since you can lion dance her etc… if you run one of them as thief you can probably do some kind of armor corrosive lion dance setup and let haanit just hit the double digit thousands
i think one of the things that would be difficult about both haanit/prim and olberic/cyrus is definitely the lack of path action to acquire npc items, you get literally soooooo much shit out of it it’s super helpful lol.
other ones i think would be fun
Alfyn/Ophilia: healerpath run. while you won’t have to rely on item healing (like i did for the majority of duopath), i think this one would be a fun like, find your damage method one. plus, these two are the ones who usually sit back as supports (at least in their base class roles), but push when push comes to shove- sorry you guys gotta do all the hard work of killing these guys on top of the healing. also the stretch between their ch3s and ch4s would be miserable for them sorry you two
Therion/Primrose: the two traumatized ones with loner streaks, that’s right we’re putting bff bracelets on you and forcing you to work together. i think these two have a kind of kinship friendship that they don’t quite share with any of the others, so they get along quite well, even though i think i’d find it hard to stick them together permanently without the glue of the rest of the party. but as a duopath, i think they could still be pretty fun, and i want primrose to have some help stabbing those guys. gameplay wise, having therion would be a huge benefit for path action reasons, plus thief is like. imo one of the best subclasses paired with anything so i think any duopath he’s in gets some added benefit.
Olberic/Tressa: i always liked their dynamic, as the oldest member and the youngest member they might have an almost parental kind of relationship, and something abt tressa’s plucky enthusiasm and Olberics more stoic, seasoned nature is always fun to me. Tressa is another items-getter path action (though slightly less good than steal, you’ll likely rack up enough money grinding that prices are trivial) which is a help, and merchant is extremely good in duopath due to hired help being one of the best damage options for any character who might not be able to set up huge numbers. olberic however, can set up huge numbers, which means that i think this duo would be super duper set in the damage department.
ophilia/cyrus: i think this is the one i’d do if i really wanted pain, because these two have no hp and will die. this is like, the challenge mode option, because one of the things about duopath is you’re going to be taking a lot of damage on your two characters where you would have that spread across your party. so this duo would require some interesting strategizing to raise those hp stats, figure out how to tank, and then, on top of that, how to dish out the big numbers. while magic is *good* ive always found that when you’re trying to hit big on breaks, you’re better off going for brand or aeber big hits. as well, you get no items path action to work with for them. as for the dynamic, they’re both friendly and agreeable so i think there’d be not much conflict between them, but i think you could have some fun especially by the end if they start to draw the galdera connections between them…
#i have a lot of thoughts ig lol.#i thibk i was gonna duopath again id go for a playthrough of 2 just to mix it up#but tbh i’m not opposed to trying another playthrough like this of 1 bc it was really fun and challenging#also. if anyone out there is thinking of doing this.#therion i think is legit the best character to have like actually extremely useful. so maybe put him with whoever you want#if you want to jump into the deep end#honestly thinking on difficulty#maybe some combination of ophilia/cyrus/prim might be the hardest?#cyrus is more frail but hits harder#prim is super support so might have trouble damaging#and cleric as a class is mainly useful for reflect bc item healing is really good up until pretty much the end#so. some combo of the three of them would be difficult runs i think#TT duopath

WOOO here's some summaries of my olivers and they kinda all bleed into eachother but ✨ concepts amiright ✨
Also I. Generally make up my aus on the spot in DMS then forget them immediately I apologise for the lack of coherency
Eepy fucker
Weirdcore au where Oliver falls into an odd world and this couple (Ann and Al) find him
They give him warm milk but because he's not built for this world it makes him permanently sleepy and kinda delirious. He can't think straight at all but it's fine because no think = no sad
Zombiver
Oliver is a Minecraft zombie with Minecraft logic don't worry about it he got cured by a golden Apple but he still has side effects like being overly bitey and overwhelmed by light and yk. All the zombie shit
Cultiver
Angel of an eldritch god (this is generally the standard Oliver I have) that decided they were lonely and so made a cult because they want headpats goddamnit (many people are brainwashed)
Moldiver
He has rot powers and has killed a hospital he inhales mold and then suffers
Just a lil scrunkly you know how it is (he's friends with Flesh Fukase)
Franbowthingiver
Hallucinates that everything's okay even though it's blood and death and suffering around him
woaHhh all these sound rlly interesting!!! ty for telling me abt them :0 they sound so cool.. i love hearing abt aus like these ahhggggg they’re very creative sounding honestly :3
#ty for telling me abt ur aus :3#i looove creepy things like this stuff honestly#i don’t draw creepy / horror stuff a lot but it’s one of my fave genres ever#i would di for that stuff..#oliver + creepy stuff is best combo mwehehe#zombiver is very silly i love him

Okay I've been posting about Summon Night Swordcraft Story 2 a lot the past few days and I do recommend it a lot even if the game is highly questionable at times.
Its one of the best games in the GBA. That said, its one of those games where you might need a walkthrough if you want to 100% everything, since the main game takes the span of ten days.
That being said, I know it might not be for everyone, so I've compiled a list of its gameplay elements, the things I liked about it, as well as some stuff that might irk other people out from trying it.
Basic plot summary; you are a craftknight's apprentice, someone who makes weapons such as swords, axes, spears, knuckles, and drills. You're also specifically the last remaining descendant of the Coltheart clan, a clan of summoners, people who summon creatures from other worlds (machine world Loreilal, Yokai world Silturn, spirit world Sapureth, beast world Maetropa)- these creatures are called as summon creatures.
Plot spoiler happens, and you basically have to seal a certain evil away from rampaging and destroying your village. At the very start, you encounter a stray summon creature- what you answer during this part will result in a different guardian beast to partner with you.
Some gameplay stuff;
The partner you chose at the start of the game cannot be changed. They have different skillsets and priorities from each other; the fire oni Loki focuses on attack and using flames, while the wind beast Arno focuses on agility and utilizing the wind. They all have the ability to enchant your weapon with the others' elements, but they can't learn each other's special moves.
The partner at the start also has different interactions with the player and the world around them; machine guardian beast Ex-e-LD is factual and logical, angel-devil guardian beast Dinah is abrasive and sarcastic, oni guardian beast Loki is hotheaded and reckless, and half-beast Arno is airheaded and peculiar.
Despite the title (and the first game being more centered around swords), you can choose to opt for other weapons. You start with a sword, and only two story elements require a sword; otherwise, you can shift to using the other four weapons in the game.
Weapons are highly customizeable; besides their appearance, you can alter their attacks and passive skills utilizing different ingredients.
The game is an RPG, with its overworld being similar to the likes of Pokemon, but the battle system isn't time based- its real-time combat. Additionally, there are random encounters outside the town and forts.
The world is small; there's no other civilizations explored outside your own town. There's a large forest, the caves, and the four forts it holds, plus some four areas you can instantly transport to, and the final dungeon. The four areas and the dungeon get bonus floors post-game, but that's about it.
Besides weapons, you can create accessories (not reflected on the character, sorry) for stat boosts, medicines, and other items, like a diary that lets you save anywhere, and an amulet that helps you repel encounters.
A fishing minigame is there so you can buy additional shapestones for weapons, as well as buy ingredients you could normally only obtain through story-bosses.
Sidequests that span over the course of ten days; there's quite a few, but the main ones I recall are talking to the merchant and his friends daily for rare ingredients, finding a lady's lost cat, and finding a child's missing items. There's also an NPC that trades you rare ingredients for medals you can find in the overworld.
After the end of every day, you get to spend time with one NPC; your guardian beast, or any of the characters you've met so far. Who you spend time with the most determines the ending you get.
Things I liked;
Fun gameplay! I liked exploring the world, gathering ingredients, and crafting all sorts of weapons. When the gameplay gets shaken up a bit, its also a fun time.
A lot of dialogue is honestly very fun, particularly between the player and their guardian beast; though a lot of characters' interactions with them are also nice.
Unlike the first game, areas can be revisited, and ingredients and materials can be gathered at any time, instead of being permanently missable content if you happen to break your weapon or misuse an item.
Depending on the guardian beast you pick and the weapon you choose to specialize with, the game either becomes very easy or difficult, so each run is at least a little different.
The main characters aren't silent, so they get to interact a lot with the cast. Additionally, Aera and Edgar (canon names of the MCs) are vastly different in terms of personality and interactions with their respective beasts, their family, and their friends, so they don't feel like the same character.
A lot of the things in game are actually progressive and handled decently; Arno is nonbinary (not explicitly stated, and though Arno uses he/him pronouns, he's not a boy or a girl- something he says himself), and Aera and Edgar's interactions with certain characters don't change even if they can be perceived in a romantic context.
There's no direct romance in the game regarding your character, so you can just.. imagine if its romantic, platonic, familial, etc. Qpr rep in my head. <3
Things to look out for;
Even though I just praised it, the game's handling of Aera's interactions with women (particularly the childhood friend's sister, Lynn) are.. less than stellar. Its the whole "but we're both girls" thing in some cases, but in other cases, its completely fine??? I haven't played as Edgar yet, so I'm not entirely sure if its the same case with his scenes with men..
A lot of very sexualized characters, dialogues, and scenes. Dinah in particular (her opening scene is her in a compromising pose) if you pick her as a guardian beast. Nina too, but she doesn't really get sexualized; she's just naked due to being a ghost, but is surrounded by bubbles. Lots and lots of suggestive scenes/dialogues spoken by Lynn to the player are. Yeah.
Unskippable fish plot which includes the last part. Without spoilers, some fish summon creature wants to be seduced. You can thankfully choose to refuse (though your guardian beast, regardless of who it is, tries it out for your honor). Again, sexualization of Lynn in particular in this scene.
Strange dialogue?? Not sure if its because of the localization, but there are strange.. dialogue choices. Or things said by the npcs. Just things that are so out of pocket and strange.
Depending on how you take it; the endings. Though the endings are not explicitly romantic, they end like a dating sim visual novel where the character you spent most time with is given a bust-shot of them smiling at the player. This includes the player's siblings, Orin and Tatiana.
Not really a big deal, but the beginning part of the game (before you get your guardian beast) just has rushed exposition and pacing and it seems jarring at first, trying to fit in the player's relationship with Ryoga, the childhood friend, how they were taken in by their master Blaire after their father's death, what your job entails, etc.
#Summon Night Swordcraft Story#((Might as well make this post if any of my mutuals want to try this game out since-))#((-while I do love it for being a fun experience and an underrated game. It has its own issues.))#((HONESTLY Dinah's opening scene is what kept me from picking her in the first place like. She's more sexualized than-))#((-the previous angel guardian beast and. Why do they keep doing this to the Sapureth summon creatures.))#((That being said. Arno and EX-e-LD sweep. They're very fun partners.))#((Pro tip <- not a pro - that thorn you get from the first boss is one of the best items in the game.))#((Stunlocking your opponents WILL deal with a lot of threats!))#((Also spears and axes. I reccomend them. Its hard to master both if you're new but it's worth it.))#((Swords are the main thing but they're the most delicate weapons I think.))#((Knuckles have low power but strike a lot. They're very good for disrupting opponents that rely on combos.))#((Drill is Bad but is amazing at breaking weapons.))#((Which is a possible win condition for opponents WITH weapons.))#((Spear can hit multiple enemies + especially useful with airborne enemies))#((Axe has raw strength and is good with enemies that are on the ground.))#((To negate the axe's agility cut just use two beast crests as an upgrade- it'll weigh like a sword.))

Sure, I would love a centaur name! (also anyone who has ever read Out of the Silent Planet can tell Jack does in fact put thought into the ways he names things in invented worlds. Just because the names in Narnia are not conlang-derieved does not mean any less thought went into them)
You are so right about the Space Trilogy!! 100% true. Unfortunately, not sure that the Disney filmmakers had read any of Jack's other work so...
As for a name, how about Whirldeft? Whirl because you're a party with singing and dancing, deft as in skillful 😁
#doesn't exactly roll off the tongue but i tried a bunch of different combos and like that the best#yeah honestly the space trilogy is such clear evidence that all of Jack's decisions to let Narnia be wild and eclectic were#totally intentional#ask me hard questions#jack

Oh weird question but what are your favourite rhythm game UI/display things?
#if this doesnt make sense ill list my examples#the pacemaker from i.idx is really neat bc it shows ur current progress towards grade targets and previous best for a song#the way the combo changes colour based on whether its a mfc/pfc/fc/broken combo in modern d.dr is really really useful#(to people better than me)#and fucking honestly i like the accuracy spread graph in osu i think its a useful visual
