Discussion Tavern: Sleeping Giant

[TD]

And I'm obviously Cait Sith because I just butt wiggled for a snake and I keep trying to roll with dice then doing nothing.

Raine is Tifa because she's out here trying to make a thirst trap.

Dragmire is... shit I don't know, Yuffie - the fun one that you just want around.

 

[TD]

Red is a friend… and don’t forget the goblin boss I got the final strike against

Joke's on you - I did forget!

 

[TD]

You know, Hideo Kojima one shot a snake too.

I don't know.

In fact, I don't know what any of this means.

 

[T'anks]

Raine is Tifa because she's out here trying to make a thirst trap.

I would never, ever Dilly Dally Shilly Shally someone so I take great offense to this accusation, buster!

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

I don't know.

In fact, I don't know what any of this means.

I'll let Kut and Vash explain it to you.

 

[TD]

I would never, ever Dilly Dally Shilly Shally someone so I take great offense to this accusation, buster!

 

[TD]

Perhaps I can offer T'anks some snake meat as a peace offering?

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

Perhaps I can offer T'anks some snake meat as a peace offering?

Out of context...

I lol'd

 

[TD]

 

[T'anks]

Fiiine.

I can't be Aerith though for obvious reasons, so...

But no cowboy outfits! Or dresses that definitely require double-sided tape. And absolutely, positively no Dilly Dally Shilly Shally!

 

[Kutshort Yes]

@GwJumpman snake is dead. Rejoice!

 

[T'anks]

...Boy did you walk into that one.

You're forgiven now.

+1 for Jon. JFC.

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

I can't be Aerith though for obvious reasons, so...

Because you live?

Too soon?

 

[T'anks]

Too soon?

For now!

Give it about two weeks and I fully expect the internet to be a dumpster fire in both directions.

 

[TD]

 

[T'anks]

People are gonna be suuuper pissed if she doesn't die.

People are gonna be even more pissed if she still does.

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

For now!

Give it about two weeks and I fully expect the internet to be a dumpster fire in both directions.

I won't know!

I'm going to go into a bubble I think.... lol

 

[TD]

Oh I mean they foreshadowed the shit out of what's going to happen with her... if you were watching very closely.

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

Oh I mean they foreshadowed the shit out of what's going to happen with her... if you were watching very closely.

They are masters at this though. The feather we see is important, I know it. But I don't know if I want them to be faithful to that or not. I almost don't to see what they do with 3.

 

[T'anks]

Square has the subtlety of a brick to the face. Watching any of the promotional stuff has spoiled, like... everything.

Can't even watch the announcement/reveal video for the new theme song without being pelted to death with spoilers. It's Kingdom Hearts all over again.

Naturally I'm being cagey because Jon's super excited though.

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

Naturally I'm being cagey because Jon's super excited though.

Lol, I'll be excited either way. I take everything until the day of release to be speculation.

 

[TD]

I'm indifferent to what they do myself but I'm not in the group waiting for the game.

Modern FF writers are much more predictable than the SNES-PS1 ones imo - so I'll be shocked if I'm wrong.

 

[T'anks]

I almost don't to see what they do with 3.

Please look forward to the Dirge of Cerberus remaster/remake.

As someone that hasn't played Remake or otherwise really knows anything of what's going on: I fully expect shenanigans with Genesis and Weiss.

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

Please look forward to the Dirge of Cerberus remaster/remake.

This was an underrated game. I would love a remaster of this.

I didn't realize you hadn't played remake. Pretty much everything I could say is spoiler territory lol

 

[T'anks]

Your memory, it lies to you! Lies!!

I didn't realize you hadn't played remake. Pretty much everything I could say is spoiler territory lol

Nah it's fine, I'm fairly indifferent to base FF7 (was too young to appreciate theming, have never replayed) and everything about the Compilation makes me want to throttle Nomura, Kitase and Nojima.

I know in vague terms about the game not being a remake, but a sequel - and is doing time travel/alternate universe shenanigans.

 

[VashTheStampede]

He's Sephiroth?

dude spoilers that game isn't out yet

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

I know in vague terms about the game not being a remake, but a sequel - and is doing time travel/alternate universe shenanigans.

...Not entirely...

Definitely not a sequel.

 

[T'anks]

@VashTheStampede so how big is this tongue. I'm asking important questions here!

 

[VashTheStampede]

about yay big

i mean its a giant snake so its like...big

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

about yay big

i mean its a giant snake so its like...big

 

[T'anks]

about yay big

i mean its a giant snake so its like...big

This is... we'll come back to this later. I'll make this work!

 

[TD]

Lettuce continue.

Underrated comment.

 

[VashTheStampede]

 

[TD]

So wait.

Now T'anks is just walking around with a giant snake tongue?

The fuck she gonna do with that?

 

[Aims'Orreh Mwuh'Bwadd]

I heard they used to make violin strings out of those.

 

[T'anks]

MY DICE
ARE AWFUL
TIME TO DIE

 

[TD]

T'anks takes charge.

Dice Gods: lul

 

[T'anks]

Don't worry I have this, like, probably queen-sized quilt of a serpent tongue strapped... somewhere. To something.

I made T'anks like 5'9" so I think the logistics of this don't work out but thankfully this is D&D so we can let minor details slide.

 

[TD]

How and why did I visualize that and why can I actually see it.

 

[T'anks]

Because the mind works in curious ways and you begin to see the possibilities!

 

[TD]

Speaking of possibilities...

How funny would it be if that snake was a lookout and you just led us into a snake pit?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I retrieved my lucky crossbow bolt, so we’re good

 

[TD]

But what if there's like five.

 

[TD]

Me: What if it's a snake pit?
Raine:

Okay well I better get the Tortle butt dance ready for another snake fight.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

But what if there's like five.

I asked this one to teach the others in the case

 

[TD]

...am I the only one who hopes that actually wasn't the only snake?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

...am I the only one who hopes that actually wasn't the only snake?

I’m looking for some variety

 

[TD]

I was looking forward to that snake fight for like a week.



It reminds me of the three archetypes of Soulslike players:

1) The ones who come in powerful prepared to instagib everything
2) The balanced ones

Spoiler: 3) The ones like me

The psychopaths that try to make it even harder by not leveling up.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I was looking forward to that snake fight for like a week.

 

[T'anks]

If playing the Lego games with my nephew has taught me anything, Indy is completely worthless around snakes.

So 5 snakes would probably go a little differently. But probably better than a dragon popping up! Or whatever Fiend is totally, definitely not corrupting these innocent Gobbies.
