Regarding Cass and fanservice

I've got nothing against sexy Cassandra Cain, but it needs good execution. For example, her skintight bodysuit is naturally attractive.

My problem is when that sexyness is forced, like in that one issue where the Bat family's on a cruise ship and Barbara essentially stuffs Cassandra in a very skimpy bikini, that just feels wrong.

In my opinion, swimwear that would fit her character more would be something like a one-piece swimsuit or swimming trunks with a bandeau bikini top.

Okay, fine, I'm playing the VN

I've abstained from the VN for a longest time, partially out of spite at elitists, but my consumption of Fate media has been dormant for a few years and I've gotten curious, so I bought the remastered version of Steam a few days ago.

Surprisingly, despite my short attention span and ADHD and distaste for reading, it's actually very hooking, though I'm still at the prologue with Rin and Archer.

Any tips moving forward, or should I experience it blind?

What do you think of my current loadout and design for the third and final boss fight? Struggling a bit now, especially with lag

I give up on multiplayer

I want to quit on the NEST multiplayer. I have no interest in constantly being bombarded with dual zimmermans or gatling guns or constantly hear the warning beep when the opponent spams big laser cannons. And I especially have no interest in the unskippable long-ass NP detraction whenever I lose.

'Oh, learn to hard-counter. Get a heavyweight frame, get your own gatling guns'. I don't want to change my build just so I don't get blown to smithereens in 30 seconds. I want my actual build to be fun to play against others.

I am currently a lightweight tetrapod using the explosives thrower, HARRIS, plasma missiles and laser dagger. I don't want to be a heavyweight.

There was actually a match I enjoyed. The opponent was a medium weight, used a HARRIS, a coral shield and coral laser. I got one win in 3 rounds, I managed to rough him up despite him winning, and even if the coral weapons were a tad annoying, I didn't feel the active urge to nuke the player's house."

Finished the game for the first time with the Liberator ending. Now, unfortunately, I need to get the Fires of Raven ending and changed my AC to look more villainous. The tetrapod is my villain AC, the blue and gold one was my hero AC. What do you think of each design?

How do I fare against Ibis on myfirst playthrough?

So I'm playing Armored Core 6 for the first time and struggling against Ibis. How is the built I've prepared?

-Duel HG-004 DUCKETT

-The laser lance as a backup for the left back unit

-6 cell plasma launcher on the right back unit

-Lightweight build with kasuar legs and head and NACHTREIHER/40E torso

-Alula boosters

-the IA-C01G: AORTA generator

Should I change any of these?

Piledriver is a mixed bag for me

I started playing AC 6 a few days ago (my first Armored Core game), got to Chapter 3 and got the piledriver. I honestly prefer the pulse blade.

Piledriver is nice against larger enemies but against other AC's, it's eh.

It has much shorter reach which an enemy AC can easily escape from, like trying to hit a fly with a needle.

Its damage and stagger damage is decent but not miles above the pulse blade.

Mayne I need to optimize the OS?

How to deal with news about human evil?

I am not too fazed by historic institutional evil like the Khmer Rouge, but I am affected by individual, intimate crimes like serial killers, traffickers, sadists and such.

I constantly keep thinking "What led them to this? Are they just evil? Can they be redeemed? Could I become like them?"

This also affects my beliefs as a believer in general human sanctity of life

I know this is probably part of OCD and unhealthy in general, but how do I deal with this in a healthier way? Just keep repeating the "maybe, maybe not" mantra?

I found a Bang and now I'm kinda scared

I found these in a random Greek store and bought a blue one. But I know these things are packed with caffeine. Now, I've gotten used to Monster, drinking a can daily on average, and my heart seems to be in good health, but I'm a bit worried about trying this one.

Self-induced SAC amnesia

In the episode in SAC 1st Gig, when Motoko prepares for a body swap surgery with the hot doctor, Kurutan (one of Motoko's female sex friends and a nurse) helps her tie the hospital gown

I thought it would have been nice had Kurutan playfully groped Motoko's ass before helping her.

And over time, that fantasy replaced my actual memory, so whenever I'm reminded of the actual scene, I'm mildly surprised and disappointed.

Is it okay to listen to "occult" music?

So, I'm not an occult or a satanist but I like to occasionally listen to "dark" music like Masked Ball from Eyes Wide Shut, which is a Romanian liturgy played backwards and "Goëtia" by Peter Gundry, which is a dark, melancholic piece and depicts a person with the head of a goat in a dress playing violin

Is it theologically acceptable for me to listen to such music for aesthetic reasons?

Morally dubious, yet sympathetic/likeable government agents

Cecil Stedman (Invincible). Man is morally grey (using deception and reanimated corpses) but you get where he's coming from. He used to be a black and white idealist until he learned from experience and you often find yourself siding with him over characters like Mark

Daisuke Aramaki (Ghost in the Shell) leads a black ops agency and often uses methods like news blockades during hot cases, yet he cares about the Section 9 members, is very "human" in his personality and uses his influence to protect his subordinates

Chrisjen Avasarala (The Expanse) is an Earth politician who is more than willing to use realpolitik and torture for her goals, yet she genuinely cares about Earth, detests amoral corporations, goes on an entire rant about how she'll dismantle them, and is very relatable ("Nancy, don't start this shit with me again.")

How do I get out if this loop?

Hi. So, maybe you remember me posting about a crisis I had some weeks ago. I got out of the most acute phase but it has been creeping back.

So, without going into too much detail, I constantly look into true crime cases of violent offenders, their psychology, how the world hates them. I imagine how devastated my family, my friends, my grandparents would be if I turned out to he such a person. One of my friends being pro death penalty and pro torture doesn't help much.

How can I break out of that loop? What techniques do I use? What rules do I set for myself?
