It was the dawn of the third age of memekind – ten years after the Snoopocalypse.
The Risa Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another memewar, by creating a place where humans and shitposters can work out their differences peacefully. It’s a port of call – home away from home – for OC creators, reposters, entrepreneurs, and wanderers.
Humans and shitposters, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal . . . all alone on the net.
It can be a dangerous place, but it’s our last best hope for shitposting.
This is the story of the last of the Risa meme stations. The year is 2023. The name of the place is /c/Risa.
Egypts internet infrastructure of 2011 does not equal US internet infrastructure of 2025. The US is too well connected to feasibly turn off the internet. With egypt in 2011 they only had to shut down five ISPs and that shut off the internet in their country.

I have not. I’m currently in the middle of act 3 in honor mode on one playthrough and middle of act 2 in another on tactician because I want to try something in tactician before I try it in honor so I don’t bork my honor mode save. But I’ve beaten the game multiple times on tactician now and have about 620 hours in game.
I don’t even trigger her at all. That fight can be fucking cancer at higher difficulties. What I do is make sure I enter the shadow cursed lands from the mountain pass. that puts me near the drider’s group and I just slaughter them and free the pixie. Then I never have to talk to Isobel and that fight never gets triggered. They even made a specific scene for this scenario if you go back to the Last Light after freeing nightsong and never having met Isobel.
I have growing doubts of the statistical randomness of attacks in honor mode with karmic dice disabled. I’m talking about multi-attack with action surge completely whiffing when the chance to hit is 75% or greater and rogues with advantage that couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn. (1/4)^2 is 6.25% so across hundreds of...
They are definitely modifying the dice rolls in some way in tactician and honor modes. You can see it in things like ability checks. Normally you’ll have a chance to roll well for any roll even if you don’t have proficiency in the skill, for example a 15 CHA dialog check and you have 8 CHA, if you roll a 16+ you’ll pass it. On tactician and honor mode if you don’t have proficiency you’ll struggle to pass the check, all your rolls will be under 5 usually. I’ve burned 4 inspirations with advantage before and watched 8 dice rolls under 5 for a skill check I wasn’t proficient in multiple times in a run. I just ignore it now since it is what it is but I really wish the difficulty wasn’t rigged like that. It’d be great to have a fair but brutal mode.

If you cloned him you’ve just doubled the problem since a cloned tuvix is still Neelix and Tuvok. Even if you split one copy the other is still made of people who deserve to live their own lives.
