Rotmg's economy is absolutely flooded with life/mana which is devaluing them to ridiculous levels. Because of this; later game dungeons need a potion rebalance imo. I'm not sure what other dungeons need reworked drop tables but cult feels far too easy and farmable to provide life/ mana at the rate that it currently does. With most late game players neglecting the current sources of vit/wis and other rainbow pots their value is steadily increasing as life/ mana value continues to drop. 1 GL being worth 2 or 3 rainbow pots is pretty insane and I don't believe that should be the case.
I took a drunk couple to the cult as Trevor during the daytime but as soon as I pulled up to the gate which was closed and stopped they both got out and ran away. So what did I do wrong? I may have accidentally shot my gun off and hit a biker while driving there to add some context.

In 2021, I collaborated with Super Yaki to do a collection of stickers, t-shirts, even a bowling shirt for my beloved Grease 2, another underseen but brilliant film.** After we rolled that one out, I immediately suggested a follow-up collection for Drop Dead Gorgeous. Much to my delight, Super Yaki enthusiastically agreed! It didn\u2019t hurt that the film had become a cult classic since I first discovered it. In fact, my favorite podcast, Las Culturistas, even had an entire category in their 2023 Culture Awards titled \u201CThe Denise Richards Drop Dead Gorgeous Line Reading Award.\u201D You simply have to respect the cultural implications of something like this.***
The Super Yaki Drop Dead Gorgeous collection finally released last weekend. If you missed the drop, the bad news is that preorders officially closed at midnight on July 4th. But the good news is there\u2019ll be a limited number of extras available soon, so you haven\u2019t missed your chance yet!
I have to say, I spent a long time championing this movie when it felt like it had been all but forgotten. And now it\u2019s really special to share it with everyone in a meaningful way, especially when they say things like \u201CHow had I never heard of this before!?\u201D It brings me so much joy to finally see Drop Dead Gorgeous getting its moment in the sun, possibly even making its way onto the Mount Rushmore of cult films. Or putting its face onto an ugly old mountain, if you will.
It is a source of Tier 6 Rings, the Cultist Necromancer UT Set, and the only source of the Vial of Pure Darkness, which is required to open an entrance to The Void after defeating the Marble Colossus in the main Lost Halls dungeon. One vial is a guaranteed drop from Malus, the boss of the Cultist Hideout, to a random player in the group. It is not possible for more than one vial to drop from a given instance of the dungeon.
The Cultist Hideout consists of a short series of long narrow hallways made of brown bricks. The enemies are found in small groups throughout the dungeon. Malus and his cultists are found in a large square room with a pentagram in the middle. There is a chance to encounter a small room off the main path which contains two graves. This room serves no purpose aside from lore (see Trivia section).
There are only 5 cultists but there are 7 Cultist Shots and Followers. This is referencing the 2 cultists (named Phaedra and Valus) that were killed during the incident that corrupted the Lost Halls and forced the Cultists to flee to this hideout. This is described in the Records of the Lost Halls.
In focusing on the above concepts, I can apply this combination of self-compassion, self-confidence, rationality, and an optimistic and positive mindset, to examine a given area of my life in a manner that enables me to provide myself with a supportive and encouraging inner-voice. Without this, I would be limited to the biased and narrow-minded viewpoint that the cult of self-esteem has doomed so many of us to.
Drop Dead Gorgeous, the cult beauty pageant comedy that turns 20 today, was made for a generation of freaks and outsiders, whose ambitions, oddities, queerness and poverty were otherwise ignored by anything similarly mainstream or funny.
For those lucky enough to experience its greatness early on, via its brief theatrical release in the US or its late-night appearances on the BBC schedule throughout the mid-Noughties, none of this will be new information, Drop Dead Gorgeous long having been recognised in certain circles as one of the greats of modern comedy film, and regarded as a spiky antidote to the white-teeth sheen of late-Nineties teen pop culture. Thanks to Drop Dead Gorgeous and its gallows humour and battle-worn take on the world, an entire generation of impressionable kids grew up infinitely cooler than their Dawson Leery-worshipping peers.
A cargo cult is a millenarian belief system found primarily but not exclusively[1] among indigenous Melanesians in which a group of people imitate the behaviors, rituals, and symbols associated with technologically advanced societies, particularly those characterized by transportation and "cargo" (supplies, goods), in the apparent hope of attracting similar benefits.[2][failed verification] The term "cargo cult" was introduced to the field of anthropology during and after World War II. More recent scholarship on cargo cults has challenged the suitability of the term for the movements associated with it, with recent anthropological sources arguing that the term is born of colonialism and prejudice and does not accurately convey the nature of the movements to which it refers.
Cargo cults are marked by a number of common characteristics, including a "myth-dream" that is a synthesis of indigenous and foreign elements,[clarification needed] the expectation of help from the ancestors, charismatic leaders, and lastly, belief in the appearance of an abundance of goods.[3] The indigenous societies of Melanesia were[when?] typically characterized by a "big man" political system in which individuals gained prestige through gift exchanges. The more wealth a man could distribute, the more people who were in his debt, and the greater his renown.[4] Those who were unable to reciprocate were known as "rubbish men".
Since the modern manufacturing process is unknown to them, members, leaders, and prophets of the cults maintain that the manufactured goods of the non-native culture have been created by spiritual means, such as through their deities and ancestors. These goods are intended for the local indigenous people, but the foreigners have unfairly gained control of these objects through malice or mistake.[5] Thus, a characteristic feature of cargo cults is the belief that spiritual agents will, at some future time, give much valuable cargo and desirable manufactured products to the cult members.[5]
Symbols associated with Christianity and modern Western society tend to be incorporated into their rituals: for example, the use of cross-shaped grave markers. Notable examples of cargo cult activity include the setting up of mock airstrips, airports, airplanes, offices, and dining rooms, as well as the fetishization and attempted construction of Western goods, such as radios made of coconuts and straw. Believers may stage "drills" and "marches" with sticks for rifles and use military-style insignia and national insignia painted on their bodies to make them look like soldiers, thereby treating the activities of Western military personnel as rituals to be performed for the purpose of attracting the cargo.[6]
Discussions of cargo cults usually begin with a series of movements that occurred in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century.[8] The earliest recorded cargo cult was the Tuka Movement that began in Fiji in 1885 at the height of the colonial era's plantation-style economy. The movement began with a promised return to a golden age of ancestral potency. Minor alterations to priestly practices were undertaken to update them and attempt to recover some kind of ancestral efficacy. Colonial authorities saw the leader of the movement, Tuka, as a troublemaker, and he was exiled, although their attempts to stop him returning proved fruitless.[9]
Cargo cults occurred periodically in many parts of the island of New Guinea, including the Taro Cult in northern Papua New Guinea and the Vailala Madness that arose from 1919 to 1922.[8] The last was documented by Francis Edgar Williams, one of the first anthropologists to conduct fieldwork in Papua New Guinea. Less dramatic cargo cults have appeared in western New Guinea as well, including the Asmat and Dani areas.
The most widely known period of cargo cult activity occurred among the Melanesian islanders in the years during and after World War II. A small population of indigenous peoples observed, often directly in front of their dwellings, the largest war ever fought by technologically advanced nations. The Japanese distributed goods and used the beliefs of the Melanesians to attempt to gain their compliance.[8] Later the Allied forces arrived in the islands.
