Ren'Py The Null Hypothesis [v0.7b] [Ron Chon]

[FacelessVixen]

academic

I mean, I could just go with that between Wobbuffet being a psychic type and the collective 'Null becoming a teacher or a therapist' headcanon that you guys came up with. But I don't think it's that simple.

Team Rocket's Wobbuffet doesn't strike me as being the sharpest tool in the shed, and therapists/psychologists aren't the big-brain genius know-it-alls that they think they are*. Null and Wobb are at their best when they're taking hits and getting knocked out, which in my mind implies physical contact, which to me says that they're more on the athletic side of a aisle. I also want to factor in/intentionally wrongfully interpret people failing to form the harem to Null's lack of emotional inelegance, but I don't have the right words for it at the moment.

The reason why I asked is that I plan on starting a new run by naming Null 'Wob Buffet' and give him blue arms and a blue pecker.

*And no, I'm not necessarily referring to you, Boots. I dated a psych major in college, and she was the most ditzy and naïve person that I've ever met. She also introduced me to Ikkitousen, if that indicates anything.

I'd say artistic from its move set. Being able to throw back whatever your opponent sends at you has to take a certain amount of artistry.

I guess. Though come to think of it, Null gaining new powers is similar to how Smeargle learns new moves via Sketch.

I think we found another instance of me accidentally throwing someone in with a group earlier than they're supposed to be.

It's like Pixie and the New Mutants all over again.

Also Nightcrawler's parentage is something that will need to be heavily debated by the dev team eventually.

Do we go by Claremont's intentions? Do we stick to what was originally published? The retcon?

We ask a lot of these kinds of questions. Iceman being gay or not is a common one.

I'd go with the current version mainly because Azazel absolutely sucks. Any old-fuck like me who was reading comics in the early-mid 2000's knows the name of his creator, Chuck Austen, as one that lives in infamy for how immensely unpopular his writing was. One of the few people I've ever heard of being legit blacklisted from the big two based on merit alone.

Just for fun, here's an example: The plot of the story Azazel was introduced in goes as follows: "Azazel is a mutant who, a couple thousand years ago, was mistaken for the devil and banished to Hell. In the present, he got out and sired a bunch of kids with teleportation powers on purpose so that he could use their powers to escape Hell." But if he needs help getting out, how the fuck did he get out to impregnate the women?!

Also, in that story Iceman gets decapitated (because he can be made of ice when he wants to, this doesn't kill him) and because the team is in Hell, there's no moisture around for him to recreate his body from...so he has Havok pee on his face.

people complaining about grind really dont get how ez it really is to max things out. i was actively avoiding sleeping with people while trying to advance the story as much as possible and by the end nearly everyone was near max level. once u get the double day and night action, plus the stamina boost in the winter. its almost hard not have everyone maxed by the end of summer. which is all chapter 1, the only time i ever felt grind was when i tried to max all the girls by ch 1 fall. and even then once u know the mechanics its ez. and once u get the achievement bonus skills/boosts its over for the grind. i like the level its at now. and once u actually think about the mechanics and u explore how things work u can super efficiently do everything. a real grind would be the god among insects achievement as level 8 is the max i can do without putting in hundreds of days of grinding due to the exponential increase of exp required to level up. which hopefully gets resolved in later chapters.

i also still think that the danger room needs a buff for increasing the danger rating. otherwise its just flat worse then both studying and class in every way.

The Retcon at this point is retro-activly retarded since it makes all the other times Mistique's DNA has been a plot point completely void if she can just rearrenge it at will, not only that but the way they went at it was so handfisted it just made people angry.

Iceman being gay or not is a common one.

I fail to see how this is something that needs to be discussed though, Mistique i can get why, but Bobby's?
Dude was constantly chasing after skirt since issue 1 of the X-men, even in the movies hes a flirty prettyboy with Rogue.

Because that would leave Northstar as the only gay X-man of the period.

So?
We need percentages and quotas now?
In any case, if it was needed so badly, they should have just made a new character and see if it sticks, not literally gaybeam a long standing playboy.

I get your point. I really do, but who wants to be represented by a French Canadian? Albeit the least annoying one ever, but still......

There, noone gets Beam'd or mad about it.

First, nobody's that gay. Unless you don't count fear boners. Secondly, the next writer would probably turn your well thought out, multidimensional character who happens to be gay into a gay character who's only thing is being gay.

Why does any X-men character need to be gay in any given period?

 

[RandomNumber]

Pretty sure Anole existed and was out before Bobby got Bendis'd. He did say "of the period", though, which...I'm not sure why that matters.

Why does any X-men character need to be gay in any given period?

They don't. I was just answering a question. And not entirely seriously.

 

[hoorrdoorr]

Still better than turning well thought out, multidimensional straight character into a gay character who's only thing is being gay.
I still hate Tim Drake coming out as gay bi and destroying his couple with Spoiler just because so. I hate that even more than situation with Jon Kent

Why does any X-men character need to be gay in any given period?

The franchise’s overarching theme of being hated and feared for who and what you are naturally lends itself to many marginalized experiences, from the original civil rights allegory and later including those of the LGBTQ+ community. Over time, both readers and creators have embraced and deepened these parallels, making the X-Men a lasting symbol of the fight against all forms of discrimination.

...Which makes it really weird when they're all straight, on top of the heavy lean for most of the franchise's existence on a white cast punctuated by fantastical blue and green people to the near-exclusion of people of color who were often overshadowed or short lived when they did appear. This has improved, with more and more iconic characters being PoC or LGBTQ+, whether they were originally written that way or adapted into it.

Basically, if diversity and acceptance in the face of discrimination is a theme, maybe there should be some in the cast beyond how unique their superpowers are.

By the way, I don't know if it's been caught before but I noticed an art discrepancy in the season 1 finale: Cyclops's outfit doesn't appear to include yellow trunks in his first panel but does in the second.

Ew

they should have just made a new character and see if it sticks

They've tried that. It always fails.

I'm not sure why that matters.

Female Null is something we want in the future. Bi/gay Null is something I know I wouldn't mind to have in the future.

By the way, I don't know if it's been caught before but I noticed an art discrepancy in the season 1 finale: Cyclops's outfit doesn't appear to include yellow trunks in his first panel but does in the second.

I'll pass it onto the dev team.

It depends on the season. Shame is either 0.25 * (love + trust) or 0.4 (love + trust) (depending on which shame). Love and trust are capped [...]

Does anyone knows which files is making this calculation ? I want to increase considerably the numbers so i can make early game the wardrobe, and be done with it for the whole game .

I checked on the /scripts/base/clothing.rpy file and the game/scripts/clothing folder, and didn't find the trust/love value.

waiting for kitty is painful but i know it's better to wait she looks adorable

I'm sticking with academic, because every time he gets his ass kicked, he learns something new. At heart, he's clearly very academic.
