Idk, if we wanted something like that we would have to standardize stuff. But also what would you think about reviewing?

From my part, I'm guessing books and manga/anime are more accessible. Maybe games if I somehow develop a habit of playing ones without such a long-term commitment. Oh yeah I also hecking love songs and some pieces of ancient literature, if I don't make that obvious through some of my spamming. I'm always thinking about whether I should try to move my translating efforts up a notch and make videos with translations or a blog with translated lyrics, y'know. Not that I think that would fit the theme of what we're discussing. 
What would you think about reviewing? Guessing what we'd do would have to have common ground at least, and somewhat relate to each other on an organizational level. Rn I'm kinda just spitballing since I'm not too sure what standardization you're thinking about.

Nah don't worry I mean lvl 30 was the level cap back when Canto III was the most recent story. I beat it with lvl 20 default sinners so I don't think you really need to always be at max level (or use meta IDs) for that matter. You'll see lots of "default sinner ID solos" for boss fights.

I had a similar thought as well. More so if everything is horrifying and stuff, would people be desensitized to it? Like if death is so common, would people grow numb, especially if they grew up around it? I'm guessing how people act in Limbus Company can be attributed to some of the past events in past games, but maybe origins for things like fear of death may be slightly altered.

I'm thinking most of the Sinners weren't trembling in their boots at the sight of all the death, rather they were offput that an entire town was basically genocided for being prosthetic users. Like, usually the corps and the syndicates kill for a reason that benefits them, and are usually pretty indiscriminate, but N. Corp's inquisition were just killing people for being different, with no benefit to themselves (except spiritual, I guess, but that's not really too big of a topic in a hyper consumerist society like the city)

I suck tho. (idk how many fundamentals I am missing for this game but it feels on par with how I was feeling 'bout SSA gameplay a while back) 

Without context for the previous games, this is definitely something I'm more curious about. Sometimes it feels like they're so normal and other times they're just...not. Great explanation I know, 10/10 for someone thinking about a blog lol. 
Maybe I was just a bit confused on why they'd react like that to the slaughter of people with prosthetics, 'cause for me that feels just so parallelistic to...uhh, pretty much any type of realistic prejudice, I guess? People look down on others for having different skin tones, different cultural habits, different facial structures, different preferences, different...pretty much anything. So this big similarity made me feel like "oh ofc there'd be some wackos here who would react like this," and then I looked at the Sinners of all people actually being flabbergasted at it all and was like "oh ok, so I'm not the normal one here then. ok." Very interesting from a worldbuilding view, so I'm looking forward to seeing answers to questions like these play out in the future.

I really forgot that film exists. So would you review new stuff coming out, or old stuff?

I'm sure it's not that bad. But it seems very debuff-oriented. In F/GO and SSA, debuff-based combat seems to be a niche. Plus I don't like not having the option of relying more heavily on defence and healing (getting pushed out of my comfort zone lol)

I mostly used "flabbergasted" since their reactions were very oriented around the word/definition of "human", which ig I wouldn't expect since nothing in the City seems very humanitarian. Your insights are interesting, so thanks for sharing. And yeah ofc there has to be some extremists to make our morally dubious team feel closer lol, I mean...our bus eats people.

Fuze: Lower your voice, there are enemies approaching
Doc, dropping in: GET GOING! QUICKLY!

Both, to be honest. Gotta know both the new and the old stuff.

I mean, at least the people that are eaten are people that pick a fight with us.

Can you exactly specify what part of the reactions are most oriented around the definition of what is a human? I'm presuming you are talking about when Hong Lu brings up the topic if Dante is human.

My dreams these days be a bit weird. I think I got one where an old friend was around again somehow and it looked like he wanted to reconcile. The thing is, he was the one who threw me away (for no reason btw), and never responded to any of my efforts to try to reach out to him again. Yet knowing all this, I keep having those sorts of dreams. It looks like I never am really able to let go of people after daylight fades and I retreat to my inner consciousness. 
Yesterday's was dreaming that there were a bunch of mice and I was killing them with a small hammer because if I didn't, I would suffocate. But even though I was doing that, the flesh and small bone fragments were still piling up, and even more mice kept on flooding in. So I love how I can interpret that three ways:
1. Funny brain thinking Limbus-style (idk but it does feel like something Limbus would do something out of)
2. Funny dream interpretation about facing one's problems/emotional turmoils (I mean, I sure hope so)
3. And an actually more obvious thought, which is that I was reading The Plague by Camus a few days back. I'm actually kinda surprised I remembered and connected the dots. But yeah, 1 and 3 are the most likely possibilities.

Ngl I think it could make some good horror material if you combined all three together. Maybe an Abnormality or something made of a lot of dead mice that keeps expanding and expanding. You have to bash these living creatures in, but that just makes it a bigger amalgamation of their corpses. (yikes)

GOT BLITZ HECK YEAHHH

"Give me the order and I'll bash 'em in the face with my shield" truly a Shielder moment

Told you guys I have a Defender bias xD white hair and funny guy bias also

-Galxian-

Oh yeah it'd probably make my point better if I told you I have 17 Defenders and 10 of them are levelled for some reason
Though maybe that doesn't actually get the point across 'cause I have a lot of Vanguards too. (9/15)
Guards are 20/25. I have a problem

Shoutout to Miss. Crane in F/GO btw for enabling so many of my 90++ farming setups
Same thing to Oberon except I think it'd be funnier to just say "love ya bro" with no context so I'm probably gonna do that instead

It's probably my fault for not having my DPS Servants always 10-10-10ed but it is what it is (plus I need one more copy of Black Grail to MLB it and it refuses to come)

-Galaxian-

Oh yeah also full disclosure, I suck at Integrated Strategies too lol (I don't think I have enough levelled operators to get through the challenging encounters. My usual strat doesn't work very well toward those)
In other words, I need insta-nukers and I need to be better at managing cost so I can get them in. Maybe Tachanka will help with that but I'm not too sure if his nuking is completely up to par. It's so cool tho.

-Galaxian-

Not me getting Mori crit to death (again) (why do I suck so much at using Berserkers why why why)

-Galaxian-

I can't stress just how normal I am whenever I have Lancer Ryouma and Oryou on the field
It'd be pretty much the same with Rider Ryouma too, but Lancer Ryouma has that NP that I react very normally to. 
Y'know it makes sense that all my favorite characters by themselves are third wheels lol seeing as I am also one.

-Galaxian-

As soon as I said that, "High Mountains and Flowing Water" hecking got me by the neck

-Galaxian-

What do you call it when a type of music could make you concentrate on it for hours, and so is technically anti-attention deficiency issues, but also it's distracting you from everything else.
screaming rn

-Galaxian-

I keep finding school assignments I don't remember anymore where I stuffed OCs or Gold Saints into. 
I just found one where I had to write a script with all the different logical fallacies, and I had to have Hitan and other characters use them in the middle of what must have been the most unproductive conversation in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
Hitan lowkey died near the end ngl, my bad. I always throw him under the water to try to slap a neat lil bow on things.

Btw what I do know of grammar is all thanks to the Gold Saints, or else I wouldn't have survived taking mandatory notes.

I'd be hyped to "review" Walpurgisnacht Rising, but other than that, I only know that Violet Evergarden has a movie, and ngl I keep putting that series off because the movie exists lol. Also because I don't want to make crying a daily habit. (VE gets me bad)

I'd def look to review Violet Evergarden. Maybe read/watch Madoka Magica to be caught up with it.

Doesn't the bus kinda look for people to do exactly that tho? 
Yeah, I was talking about the entire conversation about Dante and humanity. I guess I didn't expect the convo to go that way, plus I suppose I didn't expect the Sinners to have thought about what makes someone human? Again, gotta endear the cast to the player somehow lol.

Believe it or not but there is lore that actually makes this conversation pretty relevant to most city members, but in a void it's still pretty interesting yeah
