Obviously not meta, but I’ll point out that Furis also has the Wings of Purity augment, which adds lifesteal and some extra health.

Sounds like maybe The Viewing episode from Cabinet of Curiosities?

I would add The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993) to your Funny and Spooky list. I’ll also second the The Fog (1981) suggestion.

I’m probably definitely going Sybaris, and then either Dera or Okina. I could never make the Dera work the way I wanted, so hopefully the incarnon boosts it up.

Yeah, it definitely looks a bit low budget, but I can forgive that if it gets everything else right enough.

!trailers@lemmy.blahaj.zone is excellent.

I think it’s still worth seeing if you like Caveat, especially since it seems to be a shared universe (the bunny has a brief cameo). I maybe just set my expectations too high going in.

I wanted to see this thing in motion, so I tried to search up the youtube video, but no dice. Every article on it is just copy-pasted from the original on the Express site, and I can’t get the embedded video attached to it to work. I did find an article on NIWA’s site about a species of sea pig, which looks similar.

I think my parents have a copy of this (or something that looks very similar)! Not sure anyone’s actually made anything from it, though. Really unique design.

Watched Oddity most recently. The writer/director’s previous movie, Caveat, had a super ridiculous premise, but some excellent tension at the end, so I was hoping Oddity would be a good evolution of that. Turned out to be kind of a mixed bag, imo, but I didn’t dislike it.

I thought the bones of the plot of Longlegs were cool, but found some of the execution (Longlegs himself, and the uh… method) to be jarringly goofy. Liked the first half and the atmosphere, though.

they added an element of authenticity and sheer terror

1. Longlegs - Longlegs (2024)

I can only assume the writer either has very different taste in horror from me/us, or we’ve been (not so) cunningly been sucked into engagement bait. Include the movie on a list of modern horror? Sure. I had some issues with it, but whatever. Longlegs himself, though? Oof.

That’s really cool (and involved)! Thanks for writing that up. I hope you get a chance to actually try it.

I use a lot of off-meta melee (if there is such a thing, since most melee can be made powerful). I guess the ones on my list that count as “mediocre” are Mios, Ninkondi, Prisma Dual Cleavers, Guandao Prime, and Twin Basolk. If we’re counting hidden gems, I’d also add Caustacyst, which I liked even before I had a riven for it, and now use on my Kullervo loadout as well.

Just want to add: forma are for when you’ve run out of capacity after you’ve installed a reactor/catalyst. You can install them before, but it’s really inefficient.

Also, if you put all the basic mods on a weapon, and it still feels weak, take a look at its base (unmodded) crit and status chance stats. If, say, base crit chance is significantly lower than base status chance, then replace crit mods with more status/status chance, and see if that feels better. Same principle for frames: some frames have really low base shield, or their abilities don’t need range, or they don’t need to worry about energy management, so you’re better off swapping out some mods for others.

MR30 here. Apart from the prime and lich stuff, there’s definitely a few easy things you’ve missed, and some clusters of stuff you can work on simultaneously or while doing other things (like cracking relics or grinding aya):

• Have you done all the zaws, kitguns, k-drives, and amps? Wasn’t sure if what you’re using tracks them. If not, that’s potentially a big chunk.
• BPs from the market: pandero, carrier, dethcube, shade, wyrm, various archgun/archmelees (parts require syndicates)
• BPs from the dojo: catabolyst, mios, helios, djinn, itzal, dorrclave, hema
• Nightwave: heat dagger, dark sword, wolf beacons for wolf sledge
• Deimos iso vaults: aurum spinosa, sporothrix, cortege, and necramech parts; rep for cortege and bonewidow BPs. Note that arcana iso vaults have better drop rates for aurum spinosa and sporothrix parts, but you’ll probably be stuck doing them solo.
• Stuff from syndicates, all of which are tradable if you don’t want to swap syndicates: various archmelee and archgun parts, sancti/secura/telos weapons, abyssal beacons for dorrclave mats
• BPs, parts, and relics from corpus railjack derelict caches: carmine penta and nautilus, plus relics for valkyr prime, nyx prime, cernos prime, scindo prime, hikou prime, and venka prime
• Baro: prisma weapons, vericres, halikar wraith, vulkar wraith, prova vandal, supra vandal, vastilok, ax-52 (probably)

As a side note for sibear, I found getting cryotic passively while grinding circuit much less tedious than trying to grind it directly, but that might just be me.

Iirc from my time on kbin, posts are for the “microblog” part, i.e. the part that interacts with mastodon.

True, but I think maybe you missed this being about additive and subtractive color mixing.

100% agree; I was so bummed Riddick was just inferior Pitch Black. The animated one, Dark Fury, was fun, though, iirc.

So, I feel like 2, maybe with 3 in certain high-traffic areas, would be a good idea, for a couple reasons:

1. increased visibility for vehicles, particularly in places with a lot of pedestrians, who might not all have their own lights or be too inebriated to use them.
2. nighttime socializing outdoors, such as markets, streets with lots of nightlife, plazas, etc. Sure, small personal lights could become incorporated into fashion, but those also need to be powered, and would have to illuminate faces without blinding anyone. Public lighting just seems easier.
3. less isolating for night shift workers (if that’s a thing in the world you’re writing).

Could even have 2 shut off in quieter neighborhoods that have no open businesses during the wee hours.
