Damn, man... I was afraid I wouldn't care much for the psi dudes, but I brought this one guy on the Blacksite mission. The only ability he had was causing one enemy to be immune to all damage, but to be completely frozen. Stasis, I believe it was called. My god, it was so useful.

Archons? Um... I know they can fly (or hover), and I know they enter a 'Battle Frenzy' when hit, but... that's it. I faced two on that mission. One I ambushed and killed before it got a chance to attack. The other I used Stasis on to assure it couldn't get an attack in (along with a turret and a trooper). So... friggin'... useful. And that was with just a single ability.

Stasis is your best friend for procrastinating. Sectopod walks in at a bad time? Stasis that bitch. There is also an extra skill that allows you to stasis allies, but I don't think I've ever had a use for that.

Psi ops in general are rather strong when they get decently far along their tree. Guaranteed damage, inducing panic, preventing and/or curing panic among your soldiers, a self heal on damaging enemies, as well as a get out of death free card.

Oh, and then there's domination. Permanent mind control. Your best friend when you need someone to take fire... Or you just want a pet chryyssalid.


And yes, I am following TD. Contrasting it with SoD, actually, because I had a fit of nostalgia (and also I needed to remind myself of... Certain things). The improvement is tangible. Not that everyone wasn't proficient in writing to begin with, mind. Hard to say something like this without accidentally implying the earlier stuff is poorer quality, but...

Fuck it, you know what I was trying to say. As you were.

We get it Pal. And I for one get real nostalgic, sometimes I'll find myself scrolling through Chris' old rps... Just... So many memories come flooding back.

It's really been a ride.

Considering I have a test today and then a chunk of free time when everyone else will be at work/school, I might resume that SoD reread myself. I got myself missing original Atka.

I know it doesn't, but if you have an ADVENT MEC, leave it in a building before you evac, and then blow up the building, it should count as a kill. :p

Am I the only one who really doesn't feel nostalgic? Maybe because the universe has been fleshed out to hell, but I was satisfied with that timeline, no reread for me unless it is a decade in the future.

Great collab, guys. Quite informative. Sorry, kinda drifted off mentally around 7 last night until... well, still kinda now. Just noticed the collab. Really good. Already said that. But it was.

I haven't technically eaten more than a cookie in the past 24 hours since I threw up some apparently-bad Asian food. I think it was the discount sushi. The moral of the story is to A) never eat sushi outside of a specifically sushi-oriented Japanese restaurant, and B) have parents that actually restock the refrigerator/cabinets.

Unless the cafeteria accepts a debt card I'm SoL until dinner. Fuck.

Needless to say if anyone wants to do a convo collab to distract me, by all means hit me up ASAP.

Yeah, there are certain things you never want to get for less. Sushi is one of them.

Nice short collab. Arlia is a soldier alright, soldiering on with just a short nap, from a mission to wounded to unconscious to immediately going on a date (after sneaking out before the doctor could stop her). Wonder if her 'date' will appreciate it.

Very nice collab. Surprisingly sweet. I expected them to be at each other's throats at some point, being rival assassins. But Devon is coy as always, and Arlia is surprisingly sly and charming when she turns off the paranoia. I loved it.

I have a short collab going up later today. As for the next mission, hoping it will be next week, but my schedule at work is all wonky so not sure when. Still haven't decided if it will be another solo mission or a bigger one. Guess it will depend on availability.

I'm always available, though the next group mission I'm on, I'll want to only send one or the other. Breaking up the temporal duo will make things interesting.

You know, no one said what they think of Betty's parent's in my collab with Zombie.

I'd like to hear what you guys think of them

Oh wow I'm pretty stupid. I didn't realize Guts and his bat waifu were Betty's parents. I must have missed the relevant line(s) of dialogue.

They were cool. The baseball combo style and sauve manner both carried themselves with made for an excellent combo.
