GD Lounge # Reforged Shadowlands (Part 1)

feels like the motivator in my life is pain and i am avoiding it by voiding the pain

Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Side of Dimensions insinuates that the part of Zorc that infected the Millennium Ring survived despite the Manga showing Yami Bakura going through convulsions as a result of Zorc’s demise…

Does that mean that the fragments of Zorc in the Millennium Eye and Scepter are still alive? Does it also mean that both fragments of Zorc are now in temporary shock as a result of the pieces in the Millennium Puzzle and Ring both being destroyed(the Ring being second)?

The fact that Akhenaden’s Ghost claims to be Zorc means that the primary piece of Zorc is probably the Millennium Eye. Even so he must be badly damaged(due to losing the 2 chunks of himself in the Millennium Puzzle and Millennium Ring) so he probably needs a Shadow Game to revive his Body.

Furthermore Kaiba is now in the Afterlife(more like the inner depths of the Millennium Puzzle) challenging Atem who right now has been proven to be a weaker duelist than Yugi so there is a slight chance that Kaiba will win proving that Yugi is the source of Atem’s strategies and also that Yugi’s victory didn’t prove that he didn’t need help but that Atem was inferior to Yugi despite being a vital piece of the whole.

What is so vital about Atem that Yugi lost? His endurance. Atem can handle the pressure of a Shadow Game for far longer than Yugi as shown by both the duel against Pegasus and the duel in Dark Side of Dimensions.

Yugi is definitely going to need to gain more endurance if he is to become ready for the next threat(I.E. a resurrected Zorc).

I dunno. Depends on what pain and how you’re voiding it. Human nature is, at it’s core, avoiding pain and strife whereever and however we’re able to and only accepting when it’s 100% unavoidable.

Seems to me, if you’re avoiding pain and strife by voiding it, then perhaps that’s because it’s beneficial for you to do so at this particular moment in time.

scrambles out from under the tasty :bear::sandwich: table in a frothing panic as he holds his adorable, round Gnomey tushie

NOOOOOOOO! Not my farts!!! If I can’t fart, I’m gonna blow up into a bunch of little Gnomey bits!!!

sits on his hands in a corner of the Lounge and starts crying about not wanting to explode into Gnomey bits

They are removing /kick too, lol someone’s feelings will get hurt if they were being kicked out of a group for being toxic.

The beginning of removeing player choice.

cries some more about blowing up into Gnomey chunks

I won’t be able to eat any more tasty :bear::sandwich:!!!

cries even harder

I’m pretty sure they meant the /lick emote and not the /kick party action. In their haste to alter or remove any and all “objectionable content” ( in whomever the arbiter of this is eyes) methinks they posted a typo in their announcement.

But who knows anymore. They may actually remove the ability to rid yourself of problematic players from your group because hey! their feelings are important,too!

If that happens it will be worse then Wrath LFG where tanks held groups hostage when they got a dungeon they didn’t like and insulted the group until they kicked them because that way they didn’t get the penalty.

Dungeons will just turn into mini trade/LFG/barrens chats if the groups don’t like each other.

The infuriating thing is that there has been the ability to ‘protect yourself’ from this behavior since the game came out. Turning off emotes in chat options,ignoring and/or reporting.
But we all know that reporting anyone in this game is a crap shoot at best.

I only ran into the ‘hostage taking tank’ problem maybe a handful of times in Wrath. But that was usually when my friends weren’t around and I was on one of my healers or DPS characters. There were no dungeons I’d refuse to run on my tanks because I enjoyed them all. Some more than others ,sure but those I would do as a point of pride.

I’m so hungry! But if I eat a tasty :bear::sandwich: then I’ll have to fart! But I can’t so I’m just gonna blow up into Gnomey chunks!!!

cries harder as he grabs his Gnomey tushie and his tummy gurgles

You won’t go boom, don’t worry.

Well as long as you don’t eat any strange candy.

I don’t remember what server I started on, they merged everything down to just a few servers.

When the game first came out I could only get a jedi sentinel past chapter 1 due to my crappy intenent. That boss fight against Lord Angal is still one of the hardest things I had to do in a MMO. If I didn’t interrupt him perfectly I would die.

Currently my highest toon is a suggler and that is just because I wanted to see how her story ended. I don’t play it that often as I can’t see how big their downloads are and I have a dlownload limit.

So according to Blizzard, instead of listening to the people who pay to play their games, these changes were and will be made via internal polling which made me wonder…what would that internal poll look like? My guess is something like this:

Blizzard’s Internal Poll

Q: What can Activision-Blizzard do to make our corporate spaces a much more inclusive, safer, and ultimately: creatively productive space for all employees? Please select from the list below any that apply:

  1. Develop and enact tools and policies to quickly respond to any and all accusations of predation whether emotional or physical upon individuals by fellow Blizzard Employees.

  2. Ensure that starting immediately, all employees are paid a livable wage preventing them from having to choose between meals and a roof over their heads and ensure that any pay increase is implemented retroactively to date of hire.

  3. Provide professional help both therapeutic and legal at no cost to the employee for those that have suffered abuse by former and/or current Blizzard employees.

  4. Cease the practice of exorbitant corporate bonuses based on intial sales, passing those bonuses instead to those who actually worked day and night on said game.

  5. Half-heartedly go through the Blizzard library of games to remove any incident of percieved immorality.

  6. HAH! YOU IDIOTS THOUGHT ANY OPTION BUT OPTION 5 WAS LEGIT? YOU’RE ALL FOOLS!! NOW GET BACK TO WORK! CAPTAIN “GREASY MITTS” WILL BE HERE FIRST THING AT 4:30 AM TO EVALUATE YOU! NOW GET BACK TO WORK! I DON’T CARE IF YOUR FIVE YEAR OLD IS WAITING TO BE PICKED UP FROM SCHOOL OR THAT YOUR GRANDMA IS ON HER DEATHBED, WE HAVE DEADLINES TO MEET!! OH, YOU WANT TO FILE A HARRASSMENT COMPLAINT?! ALEX, WE GOT ONE FOR YOU AND THE SUITE!

A Certain Mental Out Chapter 3 is out: https://cubari.moe/read/imgur/q6iN6tA/1/1/

Earlier Chapters here: https://www.reddit.com/r/toarumajutsunoindex/comments/pwyar8/mental_out_manga_translated_chapters/

Senya got Junko arrested through her tactics it seems… And Shokuhou still doesn’t suspect that Senya is meddling recklessly despite seeing her possess Junko in Chapter 1.2.

A shame Littlefinger from Game of Thrones doesn’t exist in A Certain Magical Index-Verse as his presence and pointing out that Chaos is a Ladder while making out that the Student Council Vice President’s threats to disband the Cliques(which are a vital part of the Ladder of Chaos) are a threat to his power would probably cause Senya to start possessing him for her moves against the Vice President getting him arrested.

Of course Littlefinger is the sort of person who would blackmail the Higher Ups of Academy City to get him released and get Kuroko Shirai(who is the one arresting those committing Election Fraud in Tokiwadai) arrested while disbanding Judgement.

Littlefinger will probably be confused that he let himself get caught for something he doesn’t remember(though play along) and Senya will be completely caught off-guard that her plan to give Shokuhou the election backfired in such a bizarre way.

I’m sure Mikoto Misaka and Shokuhou Misaki’s successful attempts to get Kuroko Shirai released from Academy City’s prison(probably having Shokuhou pull out of the Election in the process) will distract them from Littlefinger’s move against the Vice President of the Student Council who will probably wind up poisoned dead with the new Law Enforcement under Littlefinger’s control shutting down any attempts to get Littlefinger arrested for the murder.

It would become quite apparent to Tokiwadai that Academy City is making a blatant powerplay to demonstrate the City’s power over the Schools and that the Student Council has no power whatsoever! I’m sure Shokuhou would surprised that the City Higher Ups resorted to murder to maintain it’s power over the school but won’t actually see Littlefinger as his own player due to being so focused on Kuroko Shirai’s arrest.

Aleister Crowley and the Higher Ups will be the only ones knowing that Littlefinger works for himself and probably see his getting(through Blackmail) Judgement disbanded in revenge as a means of distracting wannabe usurpers due to it looking to everyone not among the Higher Ups that Tokiwadai is a Lynchpin for the City to attempt to gain power over(and not something that can be discarded at a moment’s notice).

I’m sure Littlefinger’s new Law Enforcement agents loyal to him will be used to make powerplays that will ensure his rise to power.

Infact he’d probably make his move during Operation Handcuffs(mentioned in the latest A Certain Magical Index Light Novels) and seize Academy City for himself and disband Anti-Skill for the fiasco they caused under the new Chairman Accelerator’s control while giving his Law Enforcement Organization more power!

Since Aleister Crowley would have already made off with all the Advanced Tech stolen by Anna Sprengel(she stole the Tech during Operation Handcuffs) I’m sure he’d be apathetic to Littlefinger grabbing Academy City for himself!

This is how I met my first WoW friend, he licked me, than I licked him back. From there that is how we greeted each other. He quit when WoD came out haven’t seen him since. I used maybe once or twice in legion on a friend when I was in feral form on my druid. He liked kitty kisses.

I don’t use it anymore because I know some people would take it too personally, and it’s an emote I forgot existed when I came back form a 2 year WoW vacation due to RL stuff.

Hopefully it’s a typo.

I believe this, and I think healers can hold a group hostage too.

Blizzard please bring back farts, it should be fine as long as players are not targeted. This gnome is about to blow up into chunks, because Gas - X doesn’t exist in WoW.

Elmer can relax and toot to his heart’s content. /fart isn’t being removed,it’s just being changed so that regardless if you have a target or not, it will always be the non-targeted version.

Just make sure you stay upwind of him. :upside_down_face:
