2023.06.02 17:17 WickedSensitiveCrew Amazon Is in Talks to Offer Free Mobile Service to US Prime Members
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-talks-offer-free-mobile-123703089.html Amazon.com Inc. has been talking with wireless carriers about offering low-cost or possibly free nationwide mobile phone service to Prime subscribers, according to people familiar with the situation. The company is negotiating with Verizon Communications Inc., T-Mobile US Inc. and Dish Network Corp. to get the lowest possible wholesale prices. That would let it offer Prime members wireless plans for $10 a month or possibly for free and bolster loyalty among its biggest spending customers, the people said, who requested anonymity to discuss a private matter.
The talks have been going on for six to eight weeks and have also included AT&T Inc. at times, but the plan may take several more months to launch and could be scrapped, one person said. Dish shares jumped 14% Friday in New York since a deal with the retail giant could help the struggling satellite-TV company as it transitions to become a national wireless carrier. Meanwhile, T-Mobile fell 8.4%, AT&T dropped 5% and Verizon slid 3.5.%. The big three national carriers could see their own subscribers flee to a cheaper option at Amazon. Deutsche Telekom AG, which holds a majority stake in T-Mobile, fell 5.7% in Germany. “We are always exploring adding even more benefits for Prime members, but don’t have plans to add wireless at this time,” Amazon spokesperson Maggie Sivon said in a statement. Verizon and Dish declined to comment.
Amazon’s US Prime subscribers pay $139 a year for privileges like speedy free delivery, video streaming and access to 100 million songs. Analysts say Prime membership has stagnated in the country since Amazon boosted the annual price from $119, a sign that a subscription is less attractive to consumers struggling with a stubbornly high inflation rate. About 167 million Amazon shoppers had Prime memberships as of March, unchanged from a year earlier, according to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners. Amazon is competing with Walmart Inc., whose $98-a-year Walmart+ membership is emerging as a lower-cost alternative offering many of the same perks as Prime and free grocery delivery on orders of at least $35. Amazon in February increased its free grocery delivery threshold to $150 from $35. For the wireless industry, an Amazon deal could be seen as a welcome boost to wholesale revenue and a way to attract more traffic to newly expanded 5G networks. But Amazon’s entry could be detrimental if Prime wireless becomes popular and starts to chip away at the big carriers’ customer base.
A deeply below-market price from one of the world’s largest retailers could easily undercut the pricing power of the big three national carriers, making it tempting for subscribers to go to Amazon. Unlimited plans start at $60 a month at Verizon and T-Mobile, with AT&T starting at $65. Anytime Amazon enters a new market, it sends shivers through the industry because the Seattle-based retail giant has shown it’s willing to absorb billions of dollars in shipping and movie production costs to fuel Prime membership growth. Wireless service could be just one more item that Amazon’s willing to take a hit on if it gives the company a leg up versus Walmart.

2023.06.02 17:17 pr_pirate 20 ways to run a game marketing campaign without a marketing budget
1 / Create a press kit Make it easy for journalists and content creators to create content. Make sure your press kit includes your key art, box art, game & company logo (without background), trailer (preferably both a video file and a YouTube embed) and a collection of your best screenshots & GIFs.
2 / Create a website When people are searching for your game, they'll most likely use Google. Having your website at the top of the search results can be vital. Make sure to include: store links, most recent trailer, link to press kit, link to contact form or email, links to your social media channels, a form to sign up for your newsletter and a clear call to action for content creators ("Fill out this form to request a review key")
3 / Sign up for an IndieDB page IndieDB sites rank pretty high in Google Searches, so make sure to create a page and keep it updated.
4 / Make sure your YouTube and Twitch categories are up-to-date It takes a long time (and popularity) for YouTube and Twitch to create a game category for you, but luckily you can do it by yourself. I'll make sure to include a link to guide you through the process.
5 / Optimise your store pages for maximum conversions Make sure to optimise your (Steam) store page to get more conversions. Some tips:
- Pick a title that is unique and can't be confused with other games
- Have a killer key art that shows what your game is about
- Describe your game's genre, style and unique hooks in the short description
- Have a gameplay trailer that gets right into the action
- Choose your best screenshots
- Use an engaging description separated with visual headers or animated GIFs
- Use bullet points to make it easier to read (avoid walls of text)
- Build your wishlist. As soon as you have a page, make it your main Call To Action (on your website, social media, etc)
- Try to get 10 reviews ASAP
6 / Invest in great artwork Having great artwork will be vital to get people to click on your game when they notice it on social media or on a store. Use:
- Use a readable title (high contrast)
- Use art that stops the player from scrolling
- Make it recognizable (be consistent with your branding)
- Convey the genre of the game
7 / Make a kick-ass trailer Start with the best moments and get straight to the action. Keep it short, avoid on-screen text where you can, skip the company & engine logos and end with a call to action (wishlist or buy).
8 / Create regular content for social media Whether it's Twitter, TikTok or any other platform, it's a good idea to create a content calendar. Don't be afraid to use your social media to engage with press, gamers or other developers as well.
9 / Create a demo Launching a demo is a great way to boost your Steam wishlists. Even when your game has already launched, it's still a great way to drive traffic to your game.
10 / Ask for input & feedback Let your community weigh in on decisions (like the name of an enemy character).
11 / Go to events Go to local events and talk about your game. Don't solely focus on reaching your end consumer, but go to developer meetups and befriend other developers.
12 / Submit your game for award shows and showcases There are dozens of (free) award shows where you can submit your game, often before it's even finished. You'll get feedback from professional juries and maybe even get an award!
13 / Build a community of your own Set up a Discord server as a place to openly chat with people and ask them for feedback or rally them behind your current Call To Action.
14 / Organise a (closed) beta Need to bring in new people? They're going to need an incentive! A closed beta could be a great way to reach out to content creators and trigger them to create coverage for your game.
15 / Organise a giveaway on social media Organise contests to grow and reward your community. Organise a simple "Follow & Share" type giveaway on the channels you are looking to promote to boost your reach.
16 / Engage with existing gaming communities Join existing gaming communities. Don't enter them with a self-promotion mindset but get a feel for the vibe and chat along with other members on various topics. The more niche the group is, the better your results can be.
17 / Write a press release Go read a few high-quality press releases to get a feel for the format. Know that journalists and content creators receive a lot of press releases every day, so think about a unique hook to differentiate yourself from the crowd. What is worth writing about? Lead with that information.
18 / Distribute the press release If you don't have a list of press to send it out to, you may need to rely on a PR agency for this, but you can also use specialized services.
19 / Distribute review keys Offering journalists and content creators a code to your game is a great way to offer them an incentive to write about. Make sure to property vet each request (there are a lot of fakes and people pretending to be other creators).
20 / Keep up the momentum When the press starts creating coverage, keep up the momentum by sharing the coverage on your social media.

2023.06.02 17:13 demondork224 [F4GM] Oide Yo! Welcome to Mizuryuu Kei Land U.S.A's Grand Opening Week!!
I’m 18+ and all characters and participants must be 18+
"Oide Yo! My name is Honoka~! And it is my great pleasure to welcome you all to Mizuryuu Kei Land U.S.A's Grand opening~!!" A very busty, pink haired woman appeared on the screen at the front of the transportation bus. The only thing she was red heart shaped pasties over her nipples and pussy, a red armband that read "cast", and matching elbow length gloves and thigh high stockings.
"As Mizuryuu Kei Land U.S.A's first ever guests, we have many great surprises in store for you all~! Unfortunately I can't talk about them, you all will just have to see them for yourself~. But what I can talk about is all of the amazing "worlds" that Mizuryuu Kei Land has!
Starting with the Beginner Area, this part of the park is the first thing you see once you leave the gear area. In Mizuryuu Kei Lands original location in Japan. This is the area where our shy guests spend their time. Mizuryuu Kei Land is all about sexual freedom, and sometimes that can be very scary. For guests that aren't as open with their sexuality as others. But that's OK! For most guest all it takes is one ride on the "Meet N Fuck FerrisWheel" to break them out of their shell. Apart from the Ferris wheel, the Beginner Area also has other attractions for both men and women. The Dildo Carousel, and Glory Mystery Wall are both very popular attractions.
The Urban Jungle is a place where our guest can live their exhibitionist fantasies. Built to look like New York City. Guests here can live out their wildest public sex fantasies. Sure fucking in public is what the park is all about. But there is something special about fucking in a city environment. And in the Urban Jungle there is a place for every fantasy. From bars and clubs, to all types of store recreations, and of course all types of dirty alleys and public restrooms. It is a guarantee that you will never have the same experience when you visit the Urban Jungle.
From Urban Jungle to actual Jungle. Where the Wild Whores Are, is the ultimate pet play experience. Men and women alike can live out their most depraved fantasies of living as fuck pets. The area is divided into several "habitats". A tropical jungle, a pet walking park, and "the zoo". So if you want to let out your wild side, or want to know what it feels like to own your own fuckpet come on down to to Where the Wild Whores Are.
There are many more areas inside of Mizuryuu Kei Land. So many that I am unable to inform you about all of them in such short amount of time. Unfortunately due to legal reasons I am also unable to discuss what goes on inside of areas like our Raceplay World, and Land of Beasts. You will just have to experience those places for yourself hehe~.
Now I'll leave you all by letting you know that as our lucky week long guests. You all have the ability to switch hotels at any point during your stay for free. There are many themed hotels inside of the parks areas. And we want you all to be able to experience as many of our facilities as you can~!
Other than please enjoy all the amazing attractions, restaurants, facilities, events, and both staff and guest contest. Your ride is now at its end. Welcome to Mizuryuu Kei Land U.S.A!
////////////////////
Hello dear pervs :3. And thank you for reading my Mizuryuu Kei Land roleplay idea. Based off of the original doujinshi, I want to create a story that severely expands on the world that wonderfully depraved doujinshi created.
So I did not emphasize a "main character" during the prompt. That is because there are many different characters that we can choose from for this rp.
There is Honoka, the current peppy mascot of Mizuryuu Kei Land U.S.A. Who gets to live in the park and do all sorts of fun events for the guest. Unfortunately she did not read her contract to well. And now she has to fight for the right to keep her job as the parks mascot. Or be replaced by another slut.
There is also Natalia, a college student who's friend was somehow able to score 3 tickets fo the theme parks grand opening week. As a closet pervert Natalia was basically dragged along by her friends. In an attempt to get her to loosen up. Oh if only they knew the bitch in heat they unleashed in the park.
Another option is Stephanie, a 30 year old single mother who was given a ticket by her best friend as a birthday present. She didn't really want to come, as she felt the idea of the park was disgusting. But accepted to go anyway as it was a gift from her friend. The question is will Stephanie be able to come out of the park as the same woman she was when she got there? Or will the depravity of the park turn her into a shameless slutty milf?
And finally there is Evelyn, a recently graduated journalism major and self proclaimed artist. Who infiltrated the park by getting a job as a staff member. As she is trying to launch her career as a real journalist. By exposing Mizuryuu Kei Land as a corrupt cesspool of depravity, and misogyny. Created by the "Patriarchy" to force a narrative that women are nothing but sex objects. Will Evelyn be able to find enough evidence to prove this? Or will the parks influence and its "secret board of directors" turn her into the thing she hates the most, a whore?
The park is basically a sandbox, where we can create anything we want. The only limit for what story we can create is literally our imaginations! So as my GM you will have a lot of creative freedom for what ever lewd attraction, event, store,etc. You want to add to the park.
As for what I am looking for in a partner? I'm looking for someone literate, creative, who can match my writing. Be it multiple paragraphs if the need arises, or just short replies. Really just someone as excited as I am for this prompt. So if my prompt interested you, then please message me at Demondork on Kik. Chat will be ignored, and long detailed replies will get my attention first.
Kinks and limits list:
Kinks: cum, cum eating, cum food, cum play,bukkake,cream pie,bdsm, bondage, forced, body writing, spanking, cuddling, degradation, rough partners, sizeplay, dominant partners, toys, multiple partners, spit roasting, mating press, full Nelson,frenching,rimming,body oil,bestiality,water sports,wax play,sex machines,being filmed,cosplay,NTR,petplay,exhibitionism,biting and pretty much anything that isn’t my limits
Limits:
Scat,gore,vore,hyper sizes,necro and vomit

2023.06.02 17:13 smm_h An Origin Story
CW: Drug abuse, violent death,
During the Festival, when the President called upon the Pig to murder the Traitor, my father instructed my mother to take me and run home. I was too young to understand what was happening, but I still remember looking back at the Blue and Red fireworks, bursting open my father, and others in the crowd, as my mother ran away with me.
It took my mother years to finally talk to me about it, and try to explain what had happened that day. The hardest part for her to explain was why it happened. After all those deaths, the Traitor had survived. It was rumored that he was working with others to blow up explosives hidden everywhere, a rumor we had thought absurd, until those explosives blew up in a Revolution that would bring, to our surprise, the Traitor of all people, to power.
Two unprecedented horrors later, the country fell; and out of its ashes, the Traitor emerged as the new President. Once again, the people had suffered a transition of power that would not affect them much. The country was rebuilt, the Pig was outlawed even though he had helped them attain victory, and the Traitor became a tyrant.
Without my father, my mother had to find a job and work ceaselessly to make ends meet. I, therefore, grew up with neither parents around. Instead, I had my friends, who one after another, began falling victim to Blue under the new regime. Most people had lost one or two loved ones in the President's quest for power.
After a long era of collective despair and delirium, we heard some good news: the Pig was finally caught. He was being brought to justice by the President, as ironic as that sounds. My mother and I had hated the Pig for so long, after he had killed my father, that we were overjoyed with this news, however temporarily.
The day came. He was in chains and had no armor, yet he still survived an anvil dropped straight on him. It was a spectacular show. I would've found the visuals awesome if they didn't remind me of my father dying. Some theorized the Pig was a god, others thought it was merely a stunt to fool the people, and that he was secretly friends with the President. In any case, little changed for us peasants.
Years passed. My friends and I were all addicted to Blue, and my mother's hair had turned gray. She had finally retired from her job at the Bee Dome and came home. She constantly claimed she heard growls coming from underground before leaving. I worried for her health and had planned for us to travel and get away from all the reminders of the past.
The day before we were supposed to leave was another Festival to celebrate the solidification of the government, with powerful individuals rumored to attend. My mother planned on sleeping the entire day for the first time in years. She joked that she could sleep forever and it would not be enough. I had been slipping some explosion jokes into our conversations to soften her trauma. I replied that she was such a heavy sleeper that she might actually sleep forever and that nothing short of an explosion could wake her. She smiled and fell asleep.
I met up with my friends in Party Island. The sky got darker, and I did not want us to stay longer, lest we became casualties of someone else's grudge again, as it was a tradition with these Festivals. We took to the sewers to do Blue. There, we accidentally discovered a massive cavern, full of bloodthirsty Hounds. I heard them growl just like my mother had described. I noticed they were guarding a ravine full of Mushrooms and pointed it out. One of our friends ran to get some when he was torn to shreds. The rest of us managed to run away and hide in some hole in the wall, where we passed out from fear.
The next day, I woke up alone and assumed that my mother's demented babblings had made me hallucinate. I climbed back up to the city. The first thing I noticed was the Grid in the sky. It was just as ugly as the previous construction projects carried out by this insane government. On my way home, I saw people frantically running around and talking about the end of the world. I tried talking to them, but none spared a moment to even look at me.
It was then that I heard the Hounds again. This time, the Pig was also among them, armed to the teeth. I wasted not one moment and sprinted homeward. I was almost home when I heard a series of unending explosions. I looked around and realized; the Grid was not just any construction, it was an elaborate bombing machine. I looked up and saw primed bombs being dropped on our house. I called for my mother as loudly as I could and ran towards the house. The first bomb fell, and the blast threw me away, knocking me unconscious.
I woke up the next day with a wet blanket on my back, in a cave on a nearby hill overlooking the smoking crater that was once home. One of my friends, the only one who had survived Doomsday, had carried me there after he saw me try to save my mother and fail. He immediately asked me if I had some Blue. I shook my head. He sat next to me, and we silently watched the smokes rise. I imagined killing a god or two. We could still faintly hear explosions in the distance.

2023.06.02 17:11 mcarterphoto Memory lane: small and one-man business video shops, what were your big game-changers?
I've had a few conversations lately about the game-changing events for the smaller video producers. I'm not talking big-cinema-crew productions - this is the guys that shoot small biz to big corporate stuff, we tend to own everything vs. rentals and it's often one-man-band or an assistant. Here's my list:
The Panasonic DVX-100B/Canon XL2 era. 16x9 cameras with a more "cinematic feel", excellent color science and controls, XLR ins and good preamps. The DVX is what moved me from being a stills shooter to offering video around 2004 or so. This was the start of an explosion/arms race of video cameras - from tape to (remember those P2 cards?), to a sort of faux HD to full HD.
The spinner era -
anyone remember 35mm lens adapters? This was an odd minute in history - even pro camcorders struggled with shallow DOF and bokeh; but what if you could take a fast camera lens, project it onto a spinning or vibrating ground glass, and shoot the projected image with your camcorder and a closeup diopter? Some crazy-expensive solutions came from this idea, followed by cottage-industry tools in the $1-$2K range, along with a big and obsessed DIY contingent trying different things. It was pretty much killed by…
The DSLR revolution - everyone remembers the 5D, but that little Rebel T2i (550D)? It really blew the market open, and lots of good work was done on that cheap body - I used one with adapters for my Nikkors until Nikon finally caught up with video quality, maybe around the D7100 era. (I still pull out the Rebel for charity gigs where I need a third or fourth shooter. It's still very pretty video when you have decent light).
Manufacturers embrace the DSLR crowd. From major players to one-man "cottage industry" players in Asia with access to CNC milling tools, before 3D printing went mass market. (Remember the "Indian Matte Box?" I've yet to replace mine; $300 and everything I need in a 2-stage box). The Rode blimp, the Fotga DP-100 follow focus ($160), and every cheese plate and rod system component you could imagine for rigging, all on Amazon. We went from vehicle-TV panels repurposed for video to really competent, full-featured small monitors for a couple hundred bucks.
The Kessler KC-8 Crane - for about a grand, a very sturdy, all-metal 8' jib that setup in minutes. Suddenly some hollywood-style moves are in your SUV or van, and it was a client-impresser. Affordable gimbals mean it's now more of a motion-time lapse rig for me, but I still use mine with the 5' tip for product stills and video, it's the most versatile, fast-change "tripod" I've ever owned.
The end of tungsten and the evolution of LEDs. Man - a COB LED that's a 575 HMI equivalent and will run on a pair of v-mounts? If someone told you that was coming 15 years ago? I still have lots of tungsten fixtures, but they're rarely used. Remember how pricey tungsten softboxes were? Remember Kino Flo's ownership of the market, then the Asian Biax knockoffs? And it seems like overnight, LEDs came of age. Are any of you guys still packing biax flos?
Gimbals and drones. I was shooting a project in a big studio facility that was also a top rental house, when I saw my first gimbal. That thing was like $10k or $20k or something? Now a capable gimbal for a Mirrorless rig can be had for a couple hundred bucks. Remember struggling to master a knockoff Steadicam and realizing it was as big a skill as shooting was? And while there's still so much distracting drone footage ("look, I'm a drone shot!!! Wheee!"), we've got really capable and affordable drones when we want what were once helicopter or giant-crane shots. I don't even own one, since I can hire a capable guy with the gear for a couple hundred a day.
After Effects and camera tracking. Seems like this is more a specialty thing, but I've got a rep as the guy who can "fix anything" in footage, and camera tracking has joined motion tracking as a repair tool - and gives us fantastic creative options and can make stock footage into custom footage. We're about to hit a new era with machine learning that may make facial blemish repairs, removing spots and stains, logos on warped and moving surfaces, and compositing even faster.
Mirrorless. 4K and 6K and 8K, big frame rates, a built-in EVF for shoulder shooting, and the real biggies in my opinion - actually
usable and reliable AF with face and eye detection, and fantastic low-light capability. Come on guys, remember when 600 ISO was pushin' it and you had to run everything through NeatVideo? Now 2-3k ISOs are no problem, and we're getting high bit rates or even ProRes to the card. And as a stills shooter, man - eye detection is the
shit.
Machine Learning. This is gonna impact the hell out of us, in unpredictable ways. But the big mind-blowegame changer for me has been a cheap and simple little audio plugin - Waves Clarity VX. It just "knows what a voice is", it requires no noise sample or audio lead-in, you turn a freaking knob and on-set noises
just go away. It takes even the "air" sounds from footage, but leaves the "airiness" of voices. And it's
under fifty bucks. I've stopped giving a shit about HVAC and passing traffic in audio. It's had a huge impact on my workflow (I really, really want voices that are "present" and silky, and I want compression to not be lifting room sounds along with voices - even the better NR plugins can make a voice sound like ass). Maybe the end-game of this tech is SkyNet nuking all our cities (or some guy in India taking a still of the CEO and making a killer video interview) but for now? Bring it!!!
So - what's your list?

2023.06.02 17:10 Wapulatus Respect Beast I, Goetia (Fate/Grand Order)
"Then I shall show you. The end of your journey. The demise of human history that will redo this planet. The moment my great undertaking is completed!"
♫ Shikisai ~The Time of Parting Hath Come~ ♫ This thread is a collaboration with
InverseFlash and
rsthethird, who helped with feat-gathering, as well as
Proletlariet, who helped with formatting. Thanks!
Background
Beast I. One of the Seven Evils of Humanity, possessing the principle of "Pity".
The King of Mages, Solomon, gathered 72 demons in his life that he fashioned into "a system to promote reason in humans"--a sort of magical logic network. After some time, the demons gained self-awareness and merged into a collective being.
This being, the amalgamation of the 72 Demons, became known as Goetia.
When Solomon died, the demons were sealed away inside his corpse. The awakened Goetia at first assumed Solomon's identity. Through his eyes, they witnessed the extent of human suffering that Solomon, for all the king's vast power, had failed to address. They became disillusioned with their host, and hatched a plan to remake the world without its imperfections by travelling back in time.
Source Guide
Hover over the feat to view the story chapter the feat is from.
Relevant Scaling:
Some terms:
Elements of Goetia's in-game profile and Fate/Grand Order material IV entry (translated by castor212) are freely quoted in this thread to help explain abilities that might not show up explicitly in the series very often.
"Plead for help. Raise your mewling voice. For it is the time for you to drown in the sea of anguish! Behold this festival of flame that set ablaze the altar, rendered in its resplendence!"
♫ The Time of Coronation Hath Come ♫
Prior to revealing himself, Goetia posed as King Solomon while possessing his corpse..
Controlling Solomon granted Goetia a variety of abilities, namely the class container of "Grand", which allowed him to outclass any normal Servant by virtue of this.
Physical Feats/Power
Clairvoyance
It has been said that Solomon's clairvoyance can see through the past and the future.
Because Clairvoyance is a skill furnished on the flesh, Goetia can also use it.
Magecraft / Magic
Offensive
Utility
Evil Eye
Curse
Prison
"Well, I will rid myself of the title "King of Mages.”
"There's no more need for deception. I had no name, but if you want to call me something, call me this:"
"I am the one who shall attain true wisdom, as was desired of me. I am the one who shall devour you to reach a new height, and create a new planet."
"I am the one who shall gather 72 curses, and set flame to all of history. I am the Ritual for the Incineration of Humanity."
"I am Goetia, the King of Demon Gods."
♫ Shikisai ~The Time of Parting Hath Come~ ♫
The form Goetia takes after he abandons Solomon's corpse partway through the final battle.
His body is a central core surrounded by the 72 "Demon Pillars" that comprise him.
Collective
General Power and Information
Physical Feats
The Beast Class
The entire space of Solomon's temple gives Da Vinci the same Beast Class reading she saw from Tiamat.
Individual Demon Pillars
Power
Strength
Damage Output
Demon Pillars attack in a number of ways:
These attacks are threatening to a variety of named servants:
Durability
Favorable Interactions
- One takes a bullet from Francis Drake and continues to fight Mash, Ritsuka, and allies, although it loses the overall battle
- Li Shuwen has trouble injecting them with chi attacks, mostly due to their size
- Robin Hood's 'Yew Bow' and Elizabeth Bathory's weaponized singing don't do anything to them
- Tesla's Noble Phantasm, 'System Keranos', doesn't appear to do much to them, neither does a combined attack from Tesla and Edison's Noble Phantasms
- Lancer Li Shuwen breaks his spear on one
- Cursed Arm and Serenity have no means of harming them, even with Serenity's poison
- Oda Nobunaga's special attacks and bullets have no effect on Demon God Pillars
- Takes a hit from three bullets fired from EMIYA Alter and doesn't seem bothered by it moments later
- A Demon Pillar in its humanoid form take a blast of magic from the Queen of Sheba and is fine
- Takes fire produced by Chacha's abilities and fights Ritsuka, Okita, Nobunaga, and Hijikata, although it ultimately loses the fight
- A recreation of the Demon God Pillars gets bombarded with meteors from outer space by Astrea's Noble Phantasm, and continues to fight with Grey and Astrea, with Astrea commenting it was just as strong as the originals
Limits
Powers
Immortality
Other
"The Demon Gods have burned away. My temple is destroyed. My grand plan for the Incineration of Human Order dies with me. But, I will at least deny you this final victory. Let us begin... Master of Chaldea. I shall annihilate you, and all you've achieved, with my own hands."
♫ GRAND LAST BATTLE ♫
Despite Ars Nova ending Solomon's spell that bound the 72 Demons together, Goetia manages to linger long enough for one last fight. However, in this weakened state he can be defeated by a punch from Ritsuka.
Noble Phantasms
Ars Almadel Salomonis: The Time of Birth has Come, He is the One who Masters All
"Then I shall show you. The end of your journey. The demise of human history that will redo this planet. The moment my great undertaking is completed! Third Noble Phantasm, deploy. The Time of Birth has Come, He is the One who Masters All. Now, burn up like trash!"
"Ars Almadel Salomonis!"
- Rank: EX
- Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Human Order Noble Phantasm
- Range: ?
- Maximum target: ? person
Goetia's third Noble Phantasm. The "" of original sin. A belt of light that announces mankind’s demise.
Goetia is able to manipulate this belt of light in order to collect, accelerate and converge portions of it, travelling through the timestream or otherwise influencing it.
Singularities
For his plan to work, Goetia needed to make cause and effect stop working, so he can set fire to multiple periods of time in history at the same time.
He enables this by destabilizing human history with Singularities. These are turning points in human history that he's sent Holy Grails (powerful magic artifacts) to change important historical events.
Reference of what Holy Grails can do
Creation
Structure/Attributes
Incineration of Human History
Once human history is destabilized, Goetia 'sets fire' to every moment of it and lets it burn. The energy is then collected as "Spiritrons" (magical energy) and raw heat.
Of course, this has catastrophic affects on the timeline.
Bands of Light
Finally, this energy is then channeled into Goetia's temple, and refined into bands of light that he can control and release at will. Either as weapons, or as fuel to for his ultimate goal: time travel to the creation of the Earth.
Ars Paulina: The Time of Crowning has Come, He is the One who Begins All
- Rank: A
- Type: Anti-World Noble Phantasm
- Range: 999
- Maximum target: ? person
A Reality Marble that Goetia fabricated by amplifying the remains of King Solomon, forming a magical workshop in "void space" that exists outside the normal flow of time.
Reality Marbles are essentially self-contained dimensions that 'paint over the world' in a given area. Here's a better schematic explaining what they do.
Physical Structure and Location
Properties
Ars Nova
- Rank: D
- Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
- Range: -
- Maximum target: 1 person
Goetia: Light Band Convergence Ring
Solomon: The Time of Parting has Come, He is the One who Lets Go of the World
Individual Demon Pillars - Unique Abilities
While it's likely that Goetia possesses all these abilities as the composite of all Demon God Pillars, some of his components developed wills of their own and gained unique abilities before and after his destruction at the hands of Chaldea.
Flauros
Andras
After separating from Goetia, Andras gained a self-awareness and will to live, and escaped from the Temple of Time near-death, but died afterwards. Even then, its 'vindictive desires' remained as a corpse that could maintain a being by fusing to a Heroic Spirit, summoning and doing so with Chacha and Hijikata to create a singularity-like space.
