Babel Posts
@Joker dubbed mega posts like the most recent Leblanc as Babel Posts. This is an awesome name. Also, Leblanc Appreciation!
IamThou
The Tower of LeBabel
IamThou
The Tower of Le"Babble"
IamThou
Cafe LeBable
IamThou
You know what I mean
imtherealklib
Yosh! I can't believe it got to 2K, if anything we did some heavy stress tests for the server, clearly after the 1k-1.5k it gets laggy
imtherealklib
@IamThou I do, it's okay. Don't strain yourself.
IamThou
Boss makes the best threads.
Migrant
The Leblanc Arcana. Replacing Tower in Persona 6.
imtherealklib
Him and Labrys run one hell of a cafe for sure!
Tatsuya
Yeah I think we need to put a cap on how big threads can get frankly. I'm all for the wild west feel of this place but wow the lag.
imtherealklib
@Migrant I second this.
imtherealklib
@Tatsuya I second that too, however I think adding pages on threads would mitigate that
ShinjiroAragaki
I survived lababel and all I got was this crappy t-shirt.

In all seriousness though yeah I am surprised it got to 2k too though *lets of party popper* woo we did it though the question is at what cost
IamThou
Man I wish I could join in the fun, but I'm taking a break from RPing for a while. Gonna come up with something juicy when I come back as Maid Lavenza of the Kingdom of Phan(not that one).
Migrant
I mean it' not like Boss hasn't made new threads in the past. He used to make 'em daily.
-Labrys-
I'm laughing so hard right now...reading this thread...also. Its all @Boss.
imtherealklib
Soul searching, coffee, and property damage. Lag was an extra tossed in for free.
ShinjiroAragaki
If anyone asks it was the lagpocalypse that was the end of this one.
-Labrys-
Still shocked that my phone can load that monster in its entirety in less than a minute yet my laptop take over two
imtherealklib
I should probably read it all
Hifumi Togo
I am no lad.

I knew the day it would pass 2000 would come. Mishima should separate every thread in 500 post pages. This eliminates a single page causing stress any longer and breaks the need for a post limit on threads.
imtherealklib
So when is thoth gonna canonize the Leblancs? The lore to T H I C C
-Labrys-
I posted one last thing to close it up. Maybe a new Leblanc will open later today (3 am for me). But this. This felt good.
ShinjiroAragaki
I only ran into lag issues when it came to seeing when things where posted and post numbers though surprised my phone didn't just combust
Tatsuya
My laptop can do it in like 30 seconds. Which is pretty long for this thing.
imtherealklib
I knew the situation was dire when my work PC was starting to take 15 seconds
-Labrys-
Your pc s must be so good compared to my crummy laptop...yet my laptop is good enough for what I want. It can run my games smoothly and it can render a 3D graph of the solution to the Schrödinger equation for hydrogen's 100th excited state. If it can do that. It can do anything I need it to..except apparently load Leblanc. Hahah
Hibiki
Let's get this to 1,000 posts confirmed most useless topic
Migrant
Leblanc is like a short novel at this point with posts, it's gonna take some work to canonize it.
ShinjiroAragaki
I do not envy anyone who takes up that task
Hibiki
For real though my laptop must be enchanted by something because if I go to the LeBlanc thread i have no problems whatsoever
imtherealklib
Make the post about babel posts a babel posts. God. I think we might end up getting on Mishima's bad side if we keep incurring lagpocolypes.
-Labrys-
I'm going to admit. Its crap. Because I'm not a very good artist, but I'm trying to sketch some of my favorite moments. I will post them when I finish, but dont expect much. My sister is the family artist not me. Literally, she's a graphic designer hahaha.
imtherealklib
@Hibiki

You were probably blessed by Pure-Anon you lucky muffin you!
Hibiki
tfw the phansite has successfully constructed a thread capable of destroying the moon

....idk why I bothered making this reference when no one will get it
imtherealklib
@-Labrys- As someone who is overshadowed by my Sister, Dad, Brother, Mom in terms of art (in descending order)...I feel you...but you're better than me, so I mean...take solace in that? Question mark?
imtherealklib
@Hibiki What's the source? Game, show, etc? I don't know it of the top of my head...
Tatsuya
I can draw a line... It won't be straight though that's asking to much.
-Labrys-
I am by no means better than you @imtherealklib...you have no reference. I have not handed out my true identity lol
-Labrys-
Effing heck @Tatsuya...that made me laugh so hard...why...I'm loosing it guys...
imtherealklib
fair, but @Tatsuya is about in my skill range lol
Hifumi Togo
What discipline do you hope to specialize in, Klib?
Hibiki
@imtherealklib
I'm referencing Symphogear, the anime my icon and name come from lol
the end of season 1 saw the villain recreating the tower of babel as a wave cannon thing to destroy the moon
that's not a joke
imtherealklib
Electrical engineering! Gonna be an electrician to help my uncle's company and after I train enough, potentially open my own.
AdachiImouto
At the end, the thread took my browser 1 minute and 20 seconds to load on every refresh. Oh my Satan and Lucifer.

I loved it though and I love you all my crazy friends
imtherealklib
@Hibiki
Welp...I know what I'm doing this week.
Hibiki
I need to start paying attention to the LeBlanc threads
I've been ignoring them cuz they're like RP aren't they? But now it's like
half the lore of the Phansite seems to have been formed under my nose cuz I don't look at them.
imtherealklib
@AdachiImouto same, you guys are awesome!
Hifumi Togo
That's a wise choice, Klib. Electricians make excellent money and have a consistent, prosperous job market. You ought to do well given you have the willpower.
AdachiImouto
@Tatsuya Jun is why you cannot draw straight, lets be honest
imtherealklib
@Hibiki just come in as you. My avatar is Daru, but that's because I look like a smaller him. But I act like me, it's really fun interacting with all the different characters!
Hibiki
If I wasn't a lazy shit I'd just jump in and RP as Hibiki I mean I already use her as my avatar and she's my namesake here but
eh
-Labrys-
Lore: Leblanc is nexus. It constantly gets destroyed. I rebuild it sometimes unless boss opens a new one. I sometimes fill in behind the counter. Shit hits the fan.
imtherealklib
@Hibiki

But you can get a persona!
A
P E R S O N A !!
Hibiki
@imtherealklib

I already got several Personas though

Persona 1, Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5
buh dum
imtherealklib
@HifumiTogo Thanks!

Initially I wanted to go into game design, but realistically that is a super tough market. Or, I could join a trade that is always in need of more workers, and then in my spare time, re-learn game design and make little games here and there.
imtherealklib
@Hibiki M E M E ' D ! OUCH!
Hibiki
Relatable. I wanna make some of my ideas into games but it's like hard
and also I'm really only good at like basic writing and stuff, even with RPG maker theres no way I could do it effectively myself
imtherealklib
Effectively doesn't really matter. Once you do it enough, it becomes second nature, and you're proficiency with the software will skyrocket
Tatsuya
@AdachiImouto Well that but yeah I really am an awful artist IRL.
Hibiki
still i mean theres so much to consider if i wanted to make it GOOD
art, music
....better writing
im cursed with ambition but no talent
Hifumi Togo
@imtherealklib Game design is reminiscent of professional music performance in that it's cutthroat and difficult to thrive off of while requiring a high level of investment among all disciplines. I look forward to experiencing what your mind has to offer.
Tatsuya
@Hibiki You don't have the greatest ones though. That of course being the two I'm in... Ok I kid I love P2's story and characters but god the encounter rate is awful.
AdachiImouto
Your LeBlanc experience may include: Omnicidal maniacs, talking cats, killer frogs, stripper poles, boss battles, character development, evil gods, sudden yuri ships, explosions, campy bodyguards, anarchistic furries, butterflys with world breaking powers, portal TVs and clones of yourself from other dimensions

Boss, Labrys and all patrons are not responsible for anyone maimed, drugged, killed, exploded or turned into mice
imtherealklib
@HifumiTogo You and me both!
imtherealklib
SOMEONE TURNED INTO A MOUSE?!
Hibiki
@Tatsuya

Listen before I say this I just wanna say
don't kill me

Persona 2 is my least favorite entry in the series
hence why I haven't gone out of my way to get a physical copy of it
Migrant
It wouldn't be P5 without a little.... rattling.
Hibiki
Hold up, sudden yuri ships
tch
its like you're trying to seduce me to visit LeBlanc
Tatsuya
Oh I won't kill you for that. I like everything about P2.. Except that pesky gameplay.
Hibiki
@Tatsuya
I like the basic outline of the story and some of the characters but for the most part i think the games entire plot is so batshit insane i cant take any of it seriously
imtherealklib
@Tatsuya i....is that a joke...or is it actually bad?

Also do it @Hibiki...one of us...one of us...one of us..
Tatsuya
I could see that being an issue yeah. The whole rumors thing is crazy to begin with then you get into all the alt worlds crap and sanity has clearly gone away. Personally I like that but it's absurd.
Hibiki
the moment nazi robots descended from the skies i basically stopped playing for a year
Tatsuya
The Persona leveling system is awful unless you spam fusion spells the encounter rate is so high you can walk like 5 steps than boom fight. Demon negotiation makes P5's look positively simple and fun by comparison. In spite of it's flaws I kinda like it but yeah it's got issues.
Hibiki
I think my biggest problem with P2 gameplay wise is that Persona fusion is nonexistent, you just gather Tarot cards to essentially purchase Personas
Hifumi Togo
Popular rumors spreading and becoming real is how reality actually does work, though. Previous truths are always overcome by newer truths, and thus rumors that are widespread at a given moment are truly a part of that reality. This is part of where one would notice the Zhuangzi inspiration, along the butterfly symbolism.
Tatsuya
Yeah the Persona buying sucks.
imtherealklib
I should probably give it a go. Better than to try and give up, than to never have tried at all.
Tatsuya
Frankly I'd kill to see a remake with updated game play done.
Hibiki
I want a remake of P1 with 5s engine cuz i know everyone loves to pick on it but i actually really like 1
Tatsuya
Oh yeah give it a shot there's a fun story if you can get past all the gameplay issues. And if not just youtube it and skip the battles or something.
Hibiki
or do what I did, get so sick of the gameplay halfway through and turn on inf HP cheats
Tatsuya
I haven't tried 1 actually but eh might as well remedy that. Gotta love the internet where old games are a google search away.
Hibiki
if you hate 2s gameplay, 1s is honestly worse
i like it but its not
great
i hate the tile system but id say its fine enough beyond that
imtherealklib
Gotta give mad props for the guys that ripped the roms of all those games. Illegal yes, but at the end of the day, sometimes it's not feasible to get hold of old games.

I try, but if it peaks the 100 threshold, I'm out like a belly button.
Tatsuya
My big issue with the really old SMT stuff in general is how slow it is. Do we really need to take around 30 seconds at least for one random battle that I'll have to fight 10s of times a dungeon?
Hibiki
I don't understand why people would even get mad about downloading roms of old games. Illegal it may be but... why, exactly? Even if I went out, found a physical copy of the game, and bought it, it's so fucking old, the original creators aren't gonna see a cent of it anyway. If it's a new game I can understand but
Hibiki
Oh yeah I get you, I've been trying to play SMT I but it's like
really kind of bad
impressive for the time maybe but now it's just
not
good
Tatsuya
Because some people see the world in black and white? I mean that's all I can guess anyways.
Tatsuya
Hell SMT1? Even Nocturne is to slow for me. Granted I actually beat it in spite of that but it was an issue.
Hibiki
I have Nocturne on disc but I can't play it its just not my thing
i hate to say it but im not a big fan of mainline smt
shit like Persona, Digital Devil Saga, Raidou, that shits my jam
imtherealklib
I hear SMT IV was pretty rad
Tatsuya
Ah DDS. I started that but my Laptop sadly doesn't do PS2 well. Haven't tried Raidou for that reason. As for Mainline SMT.. Eh I get sick of all the dungeon crawling at times but I do like it just in controlled doses. P5 on the other hand I beat at 130 hours and thought to myself. "Hey wait it's over already?"
IamThou
Is SMT IV and Final good? I'm curious about it.

I have a 3DS and I might get it if most people like it.
Hibiki
i havent played IV, my 3DS is mostly a machine for playing Senran Kagura 2.
Say what you want but I love it and have beaten it twice now

oh and i guess i use it for Zero Time Dilemma sometimes
imtherealklib
NONARY GAMES TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD!!!!
Tatsuya
I played part of IV back when it came out.. Barely recall it though. Been playing Final off and on now and it's kinda fun but again 90% dungeon crawl or so. Don't go in expecting something like P3-5.
AdachiImouto
I love SMTIV

Like, the Chaos ending is one of my favorites of all time
Hibiki
@Tatsuya
If you can't play them I would suggest finding an LP of DDS1 and 2
might not be a popular opinion but they are so good i'd argue they have the best plot of all the SMT games ive played
IamThou
@Tatsuya

Meh I've been looking for something grindy and classic JRPG-ish so I might give it a try.
Tatsuya
I really liked what I played of DDS. The whole PC's turning into demons thing sounds silly at first but it turned out pretty dang interesting IMO.
Hibiki
yeah its pretty sweet
god i love the plot of DDS
i'll admit the ending feels a bit awkward though?
its not BAD i just
wasn't expecting the final boss to be the God of Trains
Tatsuya
Well night everyone, I'm sleeping early.
imtherealklib
Good night! Sorry, I've been engrossed in reading everything up until my appearance in Lebabel.
