[dusky wigeon]

Lux is fun

[hollow reef]

[signal pendant]

New gpu arrived, looks cute in comparison to my old one

[quasi peak]

THEY COULDVE GAVE IT BATTLE BOND SO ITS STATS GOT BOOSTED

[hearty tiger]

Most of the new megas just got normal abilities, not all of them got unique ones

Mega Emboar got mold breaker lmao

[quasi peak]

nah but like they couldve at least gave them ones that werent the hidden abilities

like chesnaught got bulletproof and greninja got protean

those are just the normal hidden abilities

[hearty tiger]

Yeah

[quasi peak]

omfg mega starmie got huge power

[hollow reef]

Prior to the launch of Champions, players were confused about how Mega Evolution order works. I tested for an hour with @KarthikVGC and don't feel any closer to understanding it. We did find a setup where the player order determined which Mega happened first (port priority?!?!?)

[brazen geyser]

bro I have 4 websites up rn

containing the kikyou figure

the prices are different or either the same

goodsmile US $118.99 but has the worst shipping anf estimated tax prices known to man making it 179 dollars and then the international website which is 168 dollars

there's AmiAmi but it won't even show the taxes until I place my order
then Solaris japan is 138 but turns into 136 with using all my points

i don't even know which one to do

[errant fractal]

i would say go for cheapest but idk if solaris is credible and i’m sure that good smile and international are credible sites for ordering stuff like that

[mortal gazelle]

fiore

[errant fractal]

$179 after tax is insane but it boils down to if you think the kikyou figure is really worth that price

shupus

[brazen geyser]

solaris is credible

[quasi peak]

good smile's always insanely priced

[errant fractal]

how much is solaris pricing after tax?

[quasi peak]

like rarely anythings under 40 bucks

[brazen geyser]

wait I forgot to do checkout

this is solaris japan

[errant fractal]

you’d be saving $20 so i don’t see why you shouldn’t go with solaris then

i wouldn’t even bother with AmiAmi if they aren’t gonna show what the price after tax is after you place the order

[brazen geyser]

true

[errant fractal]

so yeah i say go with solaris

and if it is credible, which you say it is, then it’s obviously the best option

[brazen geyser]

yeah gotten two nendoroids from there with shipping protection

no damage at all

[quasi peak]

THATS MY MANS GET EM

[errant fractal]

go place that order sis

get that kikyou figure

[brazen geyser]

oh yeah it's also like the only website that has a points system

[errant fractal]

stack up those points

[brazen geyser]

small issue though

[quasi peak]

yea jp post been halted since like august

[brazen geyser]

bro when is it gonna lift

[quasi peak]

no clue

-# it was the cheapest shipping too cause it wasnt going through a courier upcharging a shit ton

so basically consider it suspended indefinitely

-# hence why i have to pay out the ass for my pokemon center shit

[brazen geyser]

i sure love when old people get into fights to where it basically involves citizens dealing with the consequences right after for no reason

[quasi peak]

i sure love it when shipping companies prefer profits over just tanking the government fees for the consumer

[brazen geyser]

damn that means I can't even rely on my goat solaris japan

[quasi peak]

bro this guys internet is ass

game went "fuck this you win"

[errant fractal]

ugh

@mortal gazelle do you wanna watch me play re4r

[quasi peak]

that excadrill is gonna mega 100%

-# rocky wanted to be a camera hog

[brazen geyser]

at this point I'll just move to place of origin cause I'm assuming they got better shipping services

[errant fractal]

probably

[quasi peak]

they dont gotta deal with the fuckery

[errant fractal]

true

[quasi peak]

FUCK shoulda brought chesnaught for the rain dance

FUCK destiny bonded

[scenic arch]

so you say, my friends said it's pretty much 30

[quasi peak]

brother 30 is like the 3ds online

[scenic arch]

and on switch 2 at that

[quasi peak]

also champions doesnt have a switch 2 patch despite what people are saying

iirc only thing that changes is it supporting 4k on the dock

[errant fractal]

i think i’m about to fight ramón?

not sure tho

[mortal gazelle]

probably if you are making your way up the clock tower

[errant fractal]

well krauser just took ashley with him and ramón is just here

[mortal gazelle]

want to start streaming ?

[errant fractal]

sure

good?

[mortal gazelle]

oh yep, Leon's about to clap him

[errant fractal]

bet

any tips?

[mortal gazelle]

fun fact: if you throw a golden egg into his mouth, it deals about 80% oh his hp bar

[errant fractal]

lmao

i’m thinking of finally using the magnum

[mortal gazelle]

avoid his spit laser and the mines on the ground that are created from it

[errant fractal]

alr

[mortal gazelle]

shouldn't be too hard to kill him on assisted

whenever you get those melee prompts, you can shoot a few times to deal extra damage while they are stunned
though if you do too much, the prompt will go away

if you have a high damage weapon/high dps, you can just ignore it and spray them down

[errant fractal]

knife cooler

lol

the achievement name

no thanks bro

[mortal gazelle]

its a reference to a line from the original when you first meet salazar

[errant fractal]

lmao

[mortal gazelle]

its funny that the knight sound effect still played even though they removed all of them on assisted

you heard it when you first walked into that room

[errant fractal]

ah

oh no wonder i didn’t take damage during that fight

i forgot about the body armor

[mortal gazelle]

"body armors not looking good"

[errant fractal]

oh my god

it’s the wife

[mortal gazelle]

forgot that I had a video to show to @grim citrus, don't watch this Fiore since it has spoilers for RE8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1YfSAkPbLo

"Women"

[errant fractal]

lmaoo

story of my life

they really

don’t want leon to screw up their plans

jeez

[mortal gazelle]

the island was where Professional difficulty speedruns died back in the day

[errant fractal]

how come

[grim citrus]

He ain't called Ethan "Walk 'Em Down" Winters for no reason

[errant fractal]

is the killer7 worth having over broken butterfly

[mortal gazelle]

killer7 is better for sure but your broken butterfly still has full ammo
so you'd lose 8 shots if you sold it now

[errant fractal]

true

i can maybe buy it later then

might play more tomorrow honestly

already almost 3am

i’ll lyk if i’ll stream it tmr

[mortal gazelle]

ty for the stream

[errant fractal]

np

ty for watching

although it was mainly just for the ramón fight lmao

[grim citrus]

Ethan to anyone who mildly endangers his family:

[mortal gazelle]

its because of the JJs (you'll see them later)
there's skips you can do where you can bait them into turrets allowing you to walk past because they take the damage for you
but if you mess it up, you lose a ton of time

[errant fractal]

it was a decent fight, i guess the only thing that’d make me wanna play on standard mode at least is just some boss fights

but for the most part i do like assisted since it’s comfortable

[mortal gazelle]

more enemies too for you to dump ammo on

from what I've been watching, everything in standard dies in like 2-3 shots
enemies take at least twice as many on standard

[errant fractal]

yikes

[mortal gazelle]

its not bad though since you can still stun and use melee attacks

as well as getting lucky crits

[errant fractal]

true

just max sentinel nine

5x crit chance with the exclusive upgrade

ez

sentinel nine imo is the only weapon worth getting the exclusive upgrade

you are gonna use pistol the most

and the other weapons already do a lot of damage

[errant fractal]

i see

[mortal gazelle]

more like Ethan "fuck you, you crazy bitch" Winters

[grim citrus]

he was kinda stoopid tho, ||letting her just yap||

[errant fractal]

how much better would you say the parrying in re9 is compared to re4r

sheep

in like a

actual general use of it

not the fact it can parry cars and actual sound waves

[mortal gazelle]

I mean ||she was pretty much at the peak of her power in that encounter||
only reason ||she lost later is because her power was weakened by Rose||

[errant fractal]

and missiles

[mortal gazelle]

in terms of gameplay, a lot better since it'll actually stun zombies and allow for follow up executions if you hit a perfect parry

in RE4R if you hit a perfect parry, enemies will get slightly stunned/knockbacked and sometimes have limbs cut off

[errant fractal]

whereas the follow up in re4r is just a kick

i see

[mortal gazelle]

yep just imagine if you could essentially knife stab takedown after a parry in RE4R

[errant fractal]

that would be amazing

i probably will focus time into learning the parry windows when i play as leon in re9

[mortal gazelle]

you won't have to learn much if you are planning on playing assisted again since the parry window for perfect parries is much larger compared to standard/hardcore
on difficulties like Professional and Insanity (RE9), you pretty much are only allowed to hit perfect parries

[grim citrus]

It's really not that hard

It's actually funny how much Leon trivializes the game

[errant fractal]

insanity really requires perfectionism huh

[grim citrus]

my stupid fking mouse kkill my run

wtf

[elfin bone]

[brazen geyser]

@errant fractal my dad doesn't want me to get the kikyou just cause it doesn't walk or talk or benefit anything

and the fact it looked small and should've been twenty dollars

💔

[mortal gazelle]

get it anyway

[brazen geyser]

says i should spend the 200 dollars on coats and shoes

cause it be cheaper

and mom says that i'll learn like damn i just wanna be happy

[mortal gazelle]

wtf $200 on coats and shoes ??

also void

[brazen geyser]

hihi

[brazen geyser]

he thinks i should spend it on that cause it gives me a lot more stuff

a coat isn't gonna make me happy

[mortal gazelle]

exactly

[brazen geyser]

shoes aren't gonna make me happy either that's just necessity

[mortal gazelle]

so you should get the figure

[brazen geyser]

he's just really old, idk if he understand hobbies are expensive and that america is getting punished with the prices

it be cheaper if tariffs didn't exist and shipping wasn't insane

[novel sluice]

Dead rat

[novel sluice]

Should have spent that on gacha instead

[novel sluice]

"Dad doesn't have hobbies so it's not fair for you to have them either" argument sheesh

I would argue he's got a point if he gave you the money for something and you decided to spend on something else than intended but if it is your own money then you're in the right

[brazen geyser]

shit made me so guilty i became an emotional mess and I was overthinking that I should get a job to help my parents and also get the stuff I want without shame

now it ended up with my mom calling a guy she has a connection with at a rent a center to get me a job

[novel sluice]

You'll definitely get there. Just don't feel pressure for wanting to get things you like and being told you're wrong. No one can tell you that even if they're your parents

Otherwise next they'll tell you not to date the person you like

Or travel to the place you want

[brazen geyser]

they only tell me to marry at 30

they're fine with me travelling as long as I'm safe

[novel sluice]

Cant even laugh at that

Some parents really live in the past with these standards

[brazen geyser]

i mean I don't mind that standard

cause they don't want me getting into trouble

or be taken advantage of

[novel sluice]

What I mean is that they prioritize what they want rather than what you want and that can limit your choices

So you'll end up having a boring job and living a boring life in the future but everything is fine since that's what your parents decided for you

Families like this exist sadly

[brazen geyser]

best I can do is try to explain to them without being a bubbling mess every time they misinterpret my words

[novel sluice]

Indeed, after all communication is basic, so do put your foot down if you think it's really worth

[brazen geyser]

been doing that, shit is complicated that it drained me out so much so I feel 100 years old

[novel sluice]

It gets easier as you age don't worry

My sister also had a really tough time trying to be understood by my mom

She would cry and argue while shouting with her on a weekly basis

At the end of the day our mom just felt worried for her decisions since she might not have been mature enough to handle the responsibilities, that kind of talk

They just needed to talk more, and camly at that haha

[brazen geyser]

that's the same situation as me, had to get a therapist to defend me and get her to ease it down a bit so that we can talk normally

[novel sluice]

Mhm, it be like that

[brazen geyser]

cause I get teamed up on by both my parents and my sibling who has never been in my life for 19 years

[novel sluice]

Whenever we meet, my sis always like remembering that she's grateful I was there to help our mom meet halfway to my sister's wants

Otherwise they would just spend years yelling at each other

[brazen geyser]

aw that's sweet

I'm glad I actually met a therapist that can understand both sides but also help me tyhe most of discovering myself to a degree

sad that she's quitting her job though

[novel sluice]

Relatable

You should invite then for some coffee when you can actually spend your money on what you want without nitpicking by your parents

Guess it will take a while longer for your side but hope you can talk and be heard at least

[brazen geyser]

no thing is I spend a lot of my money

that's why I be whaling

they're just concerned I'm not saving it

and sounds like they have an issue now than before

they're trying their best to understand me though cause I got someone on them

[novel sluice]

Right

[brazen geyser]

also the money disappears too quickly

they're expecting the money to disappear by little tiny bits

[novel sluice]

Me when I'm just refreshing my monthly pass and battle pass in 3 games

what do you mean I spent $50 already

[brazen geyser]

the money would only disappear or not be touched at all if I had little to no interests

[novel sluice]

Never ever make a credit card is my best advice for you

[brazen geyser]

I know that already

algebra teacher taught me that

same with my mom but she's been trying to get a credit card lately

[novel sluice]

It's a permanent snowball
You only think that you are in control

I've been getting rolled on for years now

Everyone chill until your tire goes flat but your paycheck isn't until another 3 weeks

[brazen geyser]

3 times so far she's been trying to get a credit card and I have to tell her no cause that shit can put us in some debt with the way we spend

especially with me

[novel sluice]

Very wise

You'll never get tempted if there's nowhere for the spending to land

[brazen geyser]

it's crazy she taught me to not get one but she turns around and does it

[novel sluice]

Yep, classic adult behavior

I advise people about things I can't do myself

[brazen geyser]

i get it if she wants to increase credit score and have something good for us but this is america

nothing good ever happens

and when it does you get shit on next second

-# this is why I'm pessimistic

[novel sluice]

Better start now then sis cuz 4.2 is in two weeks

[mellow prairie]

Me grinding me grinding. My monthly gonna run out and i m too broke to afford 1 more

[brazen geyser]

the 2 day phase demons are saying to redownload HSR

[mellow prairie]

Does planarcardia give a ton of jades? I really never stepped foot on that planet aside from 1 event

And i still have to get all amphoreus chests

and yellow bottles

Because they give you 1 million blues for like 20 levels

[wraith karma]

Dunno, but since the previous banner i saved up like 80 pulls and im not even done the main story yet, nor did the event quests

[mellow prairie]

Somehow so did i just exploring amphoreus and doing this version s quests. Idk how ashveil s patch made me so rich

[proper anchor]

New su

[mellow prairie]

Doubt

Didn t play that much

But i did abuse the free firefly x dhalia wombo combo

If dhalia does rerun along with firefly which is no surprise cuz novaflare

I ll hold back on the break dps

Firefly is shit without dhalia
But anyone can shine with dhalia

in translation i want superbreak phainon

[proper anchor]

Well firefly has always been the worst designed break dps but dahlia and buff helped her a lot

[brazen geyser]

they had to keep CN's favorite girl alive somehow or else they'll tear down the building

and the economy dies

[proper anchor]

yet they give her an awful skin

[brazen geyser]

no don't worry they eat it up

[proper anchor]

they sure did

[mellow prairie]

So like 2700 with missions and whatever furbobocom is

it s not looking too good

[novel sluice]

It's like the exploration level for planarcadia

[mellow prairie]

Ofcourse first things first i ll go for the anni unit my E1 yao guang is ready to suport the entire planet

[novel sluice]

There's 50 levels with jades along the way

[novel sluice]

Considering 4.3 is the one 5 star unit version, 4.2 is going to be the one that kills people and the version after is going to fatten people up again

btw @dusky wigeon @wraith karma there is our date for when Silverash alter releases in OG AK

[wraith karma]

I just bought tickets to a nhl playoff game only cost me 655$

(if i really want to i could probably resell for 1k+)

[neon tiger]

nah IRL events are more important

[mild stratus]

Graveyard Keeper is 100% off on Steam

[wraith karma]

Only problem was tickets sold out in seconds, so i was only able to get a single seat

Can't invite friends

[neon tiger]

thats huge to advertise, I have it already (including all DLC) but its a great game, a rare win for 100% off

[dusky wigeon]

I don’t know yet who that is, but I hope she’s cute

almost

[wraith karma]

https://tenor.com/view/silver-ash-sleeping-gif-10139660576207719743

[neon tiger]

alter means alternative version, its an alternative version for the operator Silverash, those who are in the special banners of anni and half-year anni are generally all decent, they always limited until the next anni event, when they are in the pool

if we get the identical banner as CN it has lappland alter and W alter in the pool too to offrate

[dusky wigeon]

about “alter” I knew, just didn’t meet Silverash in the game yet

[mild stratus]

Graveyard Keeper 2 was just announced, I guess that's why it's 100% off

[wraith karma]

Too bad i have both lappy alter and wis at max pot

[wraith karma]

There's a few side stories for him and a few others

[neon tiger]

its good for mors though and my alt wont complain either, my main being on CN has a different issue

[dusky wigeon]

[neon tiger]

funny enough, in most cases Silverash alter prob will rarely run the 3rd skill

simply bc most teams dont really want to run a robot to fully utilize them, high cost teams have their low cost on the field relatively early, and low cost teams cant utilize it at all

[neon tiger]

nvm it will be on 14th already

they literally just announced it on X

[dusky wigeon]

I’m just saving orundum (or whatever the currency name is) until uhmm I don’t even know

[neon tiger]

having a goal is always nice, performence wise those anni and half-anni operators normally are performing great most of the time, while being limited in a way, that they dont show up in standard banners or offrates unless HG/yostar decide to put them into that specific limited pool
other targets are obv. collab operators, they not always perform well (Sakiko actually a rare exception at being powerful), but are extremly limited, currently not a single one rerunned ever

[mental bloom]

Hello for the dear artists who draw and color traditionally, can someone advice me about this question ?

#art-discussion-and-wip message

[dusky wigeon]

I’m getting the currency at such a slow rate in og Arknights, that I just wanna save until I actually have enough for any hard-pity, and then I’ll start considering on who comes out and then

until then, I’m saving

[dusky wigeon]

seen, but I don’t use markers, I use watercolours and it’s a very different medium can’t help

but I know that Acryllic and Oil painters basically just paint over the old

[neon tiger]

once you have a decent setup, it will be around 1800 orundum/week

[dusky wigeon]

but don’t know if it works with markers

[dusky wigeon]

I haven’t even tried that weekly mode yet

[mental bloom]

Oh no worries OwO

I thought about using that tool to reinforce the coloration that I do with alcohol markers and correct some errors

[dusky wigeon]

if og Arknights was the only gacha I’d be playing, I’d be more serious about it, but I don’t wanna stress over it too much, cause if I start pushing myself too much I might drop it; and I’d rather just play it slowly at my own pace without dropping it, than being so overwhelmed that I’d stop completely

so I’m being super chill on my progress

[neon tiger]

even having below average performence is still gacha currency income, once you have a run saved, you can auto it to max your weekly income anyway

[dusky wigeon]

wait waht?!

you mean like… I can get to —say— 50/1000 rewards or whatever and then repeat it until it all adds up to 1000?

[neon tiger]

jup, and rewards gain is based on enemies killed, so when you have say 200/400 killed you get a sanity refund of 10 and get rewards based on 200 kills (~150 orundum on Lungmen Outskirts, the prob. easiest one to get high killcounts with non or few meta-units)

[dusky wigeon]

oh wow, that is very different from what I’m used to from HoYo games, thx

[neon tiger]

weekly cap is based on clear quality though, to get the full 1800 cap you need 400 kills on both permanent Lungmen maps and the current rotating annihilation mission its eating about 150-200 sanity/week too, but bc you get more PRTS chips than you need per week anyway once you have a working setup, you insta-skip on your best map anyway (using PRST chips on auto-deploy in Annihilation missions and Stationary Security Service skips the entire fight)

[dusky wigeon]

I probably need to try it out to fully understand, but thx

gn8

Oh, btw! I redid all Umbral Monument stages yesterday with Ember just for the fun of it and getting the first stage cleared without getting any of your guys kidnapped was a bit of a hassle
Ember is kinda slow especially when the kidnapping attempt starts for the 3rd time and you gotta move really fast from chain to chain

[neon tiger]

be careful though, only the three permanent maps and the Annihilation mission give progress though, the other maps (annihilation simulation) are older annihilation missions, you can run for the onetime rewards, while still eating 25 sanity

[dusky wigeon]

thx

[lone torrent]

that was cute

[neon tiger]

and? how long did it took you to catch 6 slugs?

[lone torrent]

i didnt note, more less 50 sec?

[neon tiger]

sounds about right, its far to much time for how simplistic the area is

[lone torrent]

the slug in video were ZOOOMING

in gameplay i didnt even need sprint to be on pace

[neon tiger]

you literally can trigger 3 at once and catch them all before they recover

and dont forget the mario reference rossi pulls

ofc

honestly it depends so heavily on how fast one manages to clear the pre-boss foes

[scenic vapor]

If you like calamari, you will like octopus

Kinda similar

[errant fractal]

[scenic vapor]

Squid bro

You like squid? You gotta like the Octopus

[brazen geyser]

hoping to try squid and octopus without it being fried

my parents already fry it

[errant fractal]

i never tried squid

or octopus

[scenic vapor]

There is a lot of ways, people mostly fry them,but here in Italy we make those in various ways, well, I guess I other countries they do the same

[scenic vapor]

Never tried escargot?

[errant fractal]

no

[scenic vapor]

I actually like it... If properly cleaned ofc

[errant fractal]

isn’t that like

snail

[brazen geyser]

my parents only fry it because they don't know how to cook it in other ways without risking safety

[errant fractal]

[scenic vapor]

Yeah

[errant fractal]

oh

[brazen geyser]

what does it taste like?

does it have a strong smell?

[scenic vapor]

Eh... Octopus /Squid if cooked badly sucks a lot, so frying them is often better than ruin them

[scenic vapor]

No

Once you cook it with the sauce you need or other ingredients it take the smell of other ingredients

[errant fractal]

i’ve only had uh

tilapia

[scenic vapor]

Under salt... For months
