Konosuba: This Wonderful World's Alternative Paradigm

Heyo, this still got open? I'm game for a funny, light hearted RP like this.

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

There, done in one. Y'all go home, read this, read it again, then try to maintain hope that one day you'll be able to fool yourself into thinking that things like a "purpose in life" or "Free Will" really exist. Welcome to this Lovely Cell.

Nihilism aside, regardless of wherever any of you are on the spectrum, this is an important book to have in your head when discussing anything about politics. This book is literally why Karl Marx wrote his manifesto, and much of Niche's work is heavily inspired by it. This book certainly earns a claim to being "the most revolutionary book ever written".

Brave Frontier: A New Legacy [Started/Always Accepting]

Here it is.

Vain Pursuer Ein

"I don't know hope. All I ever met is despair. After all, this is what an assassin inflicts on others, right?"

Name: Ein
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Hybrid (Half-human half-demon)
Element: Dark
Personality: Thanks to his work, Ein is rather cold-hearted and rarely shows any human emotion. He prefers to remain quiet and rarely shows any sort of interest in harboring relationships with others, even if they are friendly. He thinks of others mainly as considerable targets or even foes. In the few moments he speak, he tends to discuss about strategy and methods to efficiently defeat (or kill) enemies without too much effort.

In-battle, Ein is quick to capture an enemy's pattern and has fast reaction to attacks. He oftenly fights alone and prefers to work by himself, but has knowledge that sometimes he'll need someone and doesn't refuse any sort of aid.
Biography: He comes from a family of assassins which has secretly served the Bariura Empire for generations. However, Ein never grew near the family's business, as his mother never wished him to follow his or his father's footsteps. Their original goal was to make of their son a genuine scholar and student of the magic arts. He began as a student of magic and grew curious about the dark arts, specially on the spells that would easily conceal movements. His own power began to transmit quickly and he easily learned even some offensive spells.

However, his life turned upside down. In a certain night, his house was attacked by an assassin guild and his parents brutally killed while he was studying in the magic academy. When he returned to his house, the attackers have told him that members of the fallen empire had attacked his house and killed them. As his vengeful feeling rose, he decided to join them in order to look for the ones responsible. The guild trained him hardly into the arts of assassination and he grew to be one of the best among them. One day, however, Ein heard from members about the killing in his house and eventually learned the truth. By combining the power of his magic and the weapon he carried, he carried on a mass death spree, killing all the members of the assassin guild.

After he executed his whole plan, Ein began to wander in the lone remains of Bariura. That is, until Lucius decided to call him.
Evolution: In his first evolution, he changes to Blackened Tracer Ein, where his personality starts to grow a little and he starts to see others as mere allies, but still refuses the meaning of camaderie. He also starts to gain more weapons and tools to help in his assassination skills, such as a special set of steel knives and a chain to use as a sort of whip or rope. His guns doesn't suffer any sort of changes.

His second evolution, where he changes to Hollow Killer Ein, gives a little drastic change. Ein begins to realize that the people around him are trying to help him and he begins to understand the usage of the term "comrades". He starts to open up, but leaves many things about his past or himself hidden. His guns also change, as they gain a blade at their tips so that he can defend himself in the front lines. He also gains another chain and his set of knives changes from steel to black metal, which is more durable than most of the other materials in Grand Gaia.
Misc: (any themes or extra things that you think should be noted)

With a sigh, Heinrich shrugged as chaos ensued around him. "Very well, then I will not hold myself back. Though actually, I'll at least try to simply pacify you. Terribly sorry to get in the way, but as you say... I have a job to do."

Lazily holding out his hand, it suddenly appeared to be glowing a bright white light, with an odd dark center, almost like a tiny eclipsed sun. The neighboring mercs might have noticed their gunpowder sacks/horns somewhat lighter than before. Heinrich lowered his arm, and began walking toward Grafl, glowing hand clenched in a fist. "Oh my, dear chap, sorry to say that won't work at all. But worry not..." Closing in now, he raised his arm and through the punch, very sudden and quick, a blur of dark light streaking toward poor Grafl now.

"I always return what I've borrowed, I am a gentleman, after all" He said, punch aimed for Grafl's head flying at inhuman speeds.

"Delightful! I look forward to meeting the other great adventures!" Heinrich said in response, following the pair as they made their way to the palace.

However, upon arrival, a large gang of sorts was standing in the entrance, collapsed guards and such scattered the area, evidence of their apparent break in. It seemed to be your typical rough crowd of cackling mercenaries and such, so with a sigh, Heinrich reached into his pocket. From it, he pulled a small wooden box, no bigger than a lighter, and with a slight shuffle, it moved under his mask and seemingly consumed it's contents. His single orange eye gleamed as he felt the gunpowder rush through his veins, sounds becoming more crisp, his vision becoming so clear, while feeling his muscles tighten and strengthen. "Right right, now that is settled, I say we convince this mob of ruffians that today was a bad day to go about smashing up the palace of the esteem land of Fire!"

Stepping forward, now with renewed vision, he once again surveyed the crowd of enemies, letting his senses find their most destructive target. Eye closed, he weaved his sense through the crowd, before smiling under his mask upon finding what he was looking for. A man had who had the largest amount of gunpowder... yes, probably wielding a rifle of sorts. Heinrich opened his eyes, preparing to detonate the mans store of gunpowde- "But a moment! By the gods above is that you Falma? I say! Query! Query I say, is that you Falma and Grafl? Why, it was only this morning since the last I saw of you two!" As if totally ignoring the situation, Heinrich approached the two. "Good to see the both of you. If it wasn't for your ride, I would have never found the Oracle in good time! Actually, speaking of that, I say what are the two of you doing here of all places, among this mob?"

Gotcha! I think I'll be able to post tomorrow.

Underrated and Overrated Video Games

Oh cool, I'll hop on this train.

I agree, Last of Us is super overrated, and I generally hated every character involved in that story.

Though for me,

Underrated
"Airships, Conquer the Skies"
This is a side scrolling, 2D, sandbox, RTS that is currently an Indie game on Steam. It's got all the awesome things you want in a Steampunk airship based RTS where you can build your own airships from scratch, planning out the placement of coal, suspensium, repair tools, corridors, you fucking name it. It's still in early access and is being developed by one Swiss guy. But damn, its coming along real nicely, to a point that this was the first game I ever gotten into Modding (Check out the DocPeabody's mod pack if you want something more than 17 century cannons on your airship, *cough cough* Yamato Guns *cough cough*). It's a cheap, up and coming indie game that is a lot of fun to waste a few hours in.

Overrated
"Undertale"
Now hold on! Put away those knives and Ghaster Blasters and hear me out! I love Undertale for the unique and interesting story and the wonderful soundtrack. What I don't like is everyone talking like its the second coming of christ. This game has been extensively overrated and while it is certainly an amazing game, it still has some incredibly irritating flaws such as the pacifist run bullshit with the fish lady and the nerd who needs to die. It is also incredibly cringe levels of mushy cheesyness with the pacifist run and sometimes pretends to be more deep than it actually is. But the moment anyone tries to provide legitimate criticism, the autistic fanbase that has now latched onto it eats you alive.
