Cool, so Trier just got to reenact his childhood of helping the family troubleshooters practice extortion. Nice :D

I saw. You throw the thing, it comes back. Would that be exo if there was a drone one it?

I'd say exo would be the thing throwing itself. I mean, if you miss in the game, it matters, it doesn't magically murder a bunch of soldiers just on the basis of your psychic ability.
It's because you were trying to throw it from too far for it to reach via simple strength alone. The exo kicks in whenever you try to do things with it that are outside the realm of human ability because it is the glaive itself acting.
That makes sense.

So for con usage, is it any better than a massive 3-bladed knife? Does the exo boost bleed into the con use, or is it thrown with either exo or con, using just alien tech or just the throw strength?

For uncon it's either a pretty ok melee weapon or a pretty ok thrown weapon. The positives to Exo use of it is that you can throw it over massive distances and it homes in on things. it goes from bladed boomerang to psychically targeted, heat seeking flying starfish made of knives.

But if I just use uncon, does it still hate humanity, or could I just throw a bunch of knives a short distance instead?

It doesn't hate humanity, I just got confused. At short distance it still might be worth using since it will automatically return.

Hey PW, you missed my last action in Avalanche.
Probably due to it being behind the wall of magically saving Kate.

You know, Orobopolis keeps looking more like a variation on Nuclear Throne.

Hey, I'm trying to save people. It's hard when you have no idea what will happen. I can't flood piecewise with conditionals, I'm pushing it as it is.

Wait, that's what we're doing here?

I kid, I kid. No worries, I just wanted to post that coloured monstrosity in the ooc thread. I'm glad that I'm at least already posing. I'm less glad that it's Dio's pose, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

Cool beans.

Note that hitting restart gives an error though.
