ok that knocked the wind out of me #blumbreak

I feel the cosmos #blumbreak

Anyway this finally got me to go Oh did they put the 8th Genesis in Van. Guess I'll find out what the final knife twist is this is the final stretch. #blumbreak

You only get more Onyx Steel by getting alignments to 5 and I don't think you can do that in a single sitting? Unless some of the choices give different amounts of points depending on what you picked. You'd need an absurd amount of forethought and I'm not crazy about that decision. #blumbreak

They gotta account for whether or not I chose to kill these guys but it's weird that Olympia is like this after she survived- The Grendel has ended the fight in 30 seconds. #blumbreak

My alignment chart pulsed so I think I just got BOTW'd out of doing some fights. I had everything at 4, don't know if leaning any into 5 would have done something here but it's an achievement so maybe. #blumbreak

Gonna make some coffee and #blumbreak

She's the most obvious Weissman so far and I cannot pin down what her deal is despite it being so clear. Maybe she's a witch. Or Ouroboros. Has she ever been in the same room as- why did that work on them. #blumbreak

it doesn't outright confirm that McBurn is chill with Ouroboros but he now feels like the most important character in the franchise so I am Watching #blumbreak

Elaine they locked your dad up and I'm about to give this world a second Epstein. #blumbreak

Me three hours ago: "Wow this really is Cold Steel 1"

Me now: "ah fuck it's 2 fuckshitfucknofuckshit" #blumbreak

Oh my god I didn't click on this until now I didn't realize the 1st achievements started here. fuck.

What do you MEAN the reward for defeating 2000 enemies is TWO MAX REVIVES #blumbreak

Damn I'm in there #blumbreak

decisions decisions #blumbreak

Holy shit The Partitioner put up some Partitions- did they really mention Kevin by name in this game but have to patch him into the group shot #blumbreak

can I just walk out

Kasim is so weird they're like "this is the strongest guy in the world fr fr" and it's because he carries a railgun like a metal gear villain #blumbreak

seems like he was un-orphaned at 10, put into a torture nexus for 4 years, came back to go to school for 2-3 years, left to be a jeager for about 2 years without telling anyone, then met renne and started spriganning and helped in the war. torture nexus might include his taito stuff idr. #blumbreak

I am far too invested in figuring out the timeline of Van's life but they're dripping info at me in a really deliberate way #blumbreak

Like did Elaine's dad hate poor people so much he sold 10-year old Van to the demonic child sex slave doomsday cult because he had an off day. that's insane. And every time you think you've heard the last of the cult it's at the core of several things at once. #blumbreak

okay so van is actually wolverine I think that might be where this is going #blumbreak

I'm so dumb he's had a dog tag this whole time and all I can make out is Age: 14 I nearly saw more in a cutscene but it cut away aaaaaaa did they wolverine him #blumbreak

Fie should not be taller than Rixia that's scary #blumbreak

This made me more aware that Van's past is weird. They imply he was in Red Constellation and being adopted at 10 without changing his surname implies he was pulled right into it as a kid. Or a Garden. Regardless it's unclear why he left. I half expect Spriggans to be a thing he made up. #blumbreak

When I ask a French person what their favorite Kevin Smith movie is #blumbreak

Ohhh is this what the allignment was for the whole time. I got everything to rank 3 so I guess I got all the options? Unless minmaxing to hit 4 on one of them does something. How much does this affect. #blumbreak

Also this is crazyyyy they have a CS2 render of Barkhorn but a later one of Thomas-

I thought maybe we found the one lady squire who wasn't forced to wear a catholic habit but no it was just two dominions hanging out this game oops #blumbreak

Ouroboros really just found a completely unaffiliated dude named The Emperor. It's really extra puzzling because they made that dude up during the point where they were clearly planning ahead. #blumbreak

So he was alive this entire time huh

They must be writing how stigmas function as they go because I don't think they've been consistent in the slightest lmao #blumbreak

forgot we get cool main menus since I resume from save

The mundanity of "nuclear weapon" is weird but they used shortcuts and with the presentation it's gotta be magical in nature. Otherwise that's a lot of dead kids. I fully expect a reveal that molecules don't exist in this world. #blumbreak

Something I see getting nerfed later, because that's how these things go, is that it was way too easy to get Hawkeye and Fatal Lance by the first chapter. The thing about the treasure hunter effect is that it makes what little dungeon exploration there is trivial- MAN that's a big one #blumbreak
