Perhaps. Perhaps we have reached the breaking point of sanity. Perhaps this is merely the calm before the storm. Or rather, the calm before a bunch of servo-powered infantry drop out of a buncha VTOL-style gunships and start cleaning up a PanO outpost before they dump a random Sogarat corpse out of the dropship to put the blame on the Combined Army.
Will it manage to get to 75 pages of overanalysis and extrapolation with little actual information before the drop?
Honestly, yeah. We got some info on an HI people we're able to take at face value of it being ''Y'know what, this at least is something we can already say is gonna be at least decent.'' Then we got more info about other IA related things from Koni after the first one, such as finding out Mowangs aren't only effectively 3W HI with 5 ARM, they also get Mimetism. And then we got some info about the Hulongs as well. Plus people started actually testing the Zhencha. And the Zhencha actually warmed itself up to people, and they started liking it. Between some actual proper, honest and overall pleasant communication from Koni, people doing some testing by themselves using the Zhencha and sprinkling in a smidge of tried and true light hearted ''memeing''... Yeah, it's actually lightened up here. Hey, who knows, maybe IA won't even reach a state of mortem after the release! Like, that'd be an interesting thing! Salt isn't always bad. Like. Can you even make some good shashliks without salting the meat? I doubt it. So yeah... occasionally you can find a nice glimpse of some well cooked and marinated shashliks beyond the salt flats. Well, we better hurry up then now!
@Maksimas don't take @Aspect Graviton 's highly personal challenge to your shitposting skills personal. Also, salty sweet liquorice is the best.
QUICKLY. Release the experimental meme Kuang Shi. We must fill this post with replies to reach the fable 75 pages.
I'm not taking it personally... I'm taking it on the behalf of the Jade Empires honor and glory. Also, I see you are a man of culture who can appreciate some good licorice.
You should weaponize that salt into some form of grenade. Like. What if. Instead of smoke or eclipse grenades. You made... salty white noise grenades?
Inflicting white noise and blind(stunned) ? Why not sounds great! Also VIRD should be immunte to that due to their "Aquantic" terrain type.
Salted fish people. That is all. Also. Once we get IA and see exactly what the Hulong can do. I really really expect a ''I'm you, but better'' meme to crop up with it and the Domaru.
Was it only me that thought E/M and White Noise status meant you were frantically running cleaner programs to scrub your comms from constantly playing ads and nyan cat, while your hacked HI can't stop doing the Macarena?
That sounds... exceedingly uncomfortable. At that point, making the poor victim into a Kuang Shi is an act of mercy.
One would think the ISS would be shaking their fists at the nomads for cribbing their notes at that point...
Pretty sure all Cranes are trained in the art of fist shaking at criminal scum. I mean. Have you ever even seen the DA CC weapons they carry? They're not the swords, I can tell you that. It's their fists.
