Arknights

[wanton stratus]

Rip

[plain vessel]

Everyday I play the game I'm sad about not having those 2 R6S rate up 5 stars

Need to rotate my control center

[wanton stratus]

Just borrow them from Yuwen

[plain vessel]

[wanton stratus]

Oh

[plain vessel]

I don't care about base meta but

[wanton stratus]

Base meta has been rotating control center tho

[plain vessel]

I care about it if it means I don't need to touch base as much

[wanton stratus]

Cringe

[plain vessel]

I don't want to rotate my base okay

[wanton stratus]

[plain vessel]

[wanton stratus]

Passive income is nice

[plain vessel]

Passive income doesn't need you to check it every half day

[wanton stratus]

…you’re 243, aren’t you?

[plain vessel]

yes

how could you tell

[wanton stratus]

How often do you rotate then?

[versed compass]

only pasta can be abused for pallas

but then tulip thingy can be abused by nearl and not pallas

[plain vessel]

every 1.5 days or so

[versed compass]

only case with pallas to win is when you need it asap instead of waiting the charge

[wanton stratus]

[plain vessel]

like when they're close to having no morale

[wanton stratus]

Actually insane

[plain vessel]

dude I'm serious about not wanting to touch my base

[wanton stratus]

This could be you if you switched to 252 and touched base more often

[plain vessel]

the orundums?

[wanton stratus]

The everything

[plain vessel]

I have 3m LMD

is fine trusttttttttttttttttttt

[wanton stratus]

[plain vessel]

maybe I learn base meta this month after I graduate

I'll consider it

[wanton stratus]

Sounds like a plan

[plain vessel]

but at the same time

[wanton stratus]

Job searching ❌
Arknights base ✅

[plain vessel]

I'm planning to catch up with anime and fix up a skill

[wanton stratus]

A skill?

[plain vessel]

not actually a skill

more like a hobby

I bet nothing that you'll never guess what it is

[wanton stratus]

Clay pottery

[plain vessel]

no

[wanton stratus]

Damn

Then uh

No clue

[plain vessel]

I ain't giving one

[wanton stratus]

It’s making fursuits, isn’t it?

[plain vessel]

what kind of fucking person do you think I am

I completely take back it being a skill tho

definitely just a hobby

[wanton stratus]

You someone who doesn’t care about the base and also makes fursuits in their spare time

That’s my clinical analysis

[plain vessel]

dude what

???

maybe I should reveal it

[wanton stratus]

I concur

[plain vessel]

I'll give a clue

it has competitions

[wanton stratus]

Speedcubing

[plain vessel]

wtf

aight you win

[wanton stratus]

Was I right? For real?

[plain vessel]

yes

[wanton stratus]

Holy shit

[plain vessel]

how the fuck

[wanton stratus]

Literally first thing I thought of when you said it had competitions

[plain vessel]

[wanton stratus]

My second guess was
*farthest distance for shooting milk out of your tear ducts” but the way

[plain vessel]

diude what the fuck

[wanton stratus]

It’s a real “sport”

Saw it on tv when I was a kid and it stuck with me ever since

I’ll inflict my childhood trauma onto everyone else

[fluid verge]

That's...hot....?

[plain vessel]

also what kind of person would have "farthest distance for shooting milk out of your tear ducts" as a hobby

[wanton stratus]

Someone who doesn’t make fursuits

[fluid verge]

How does that even work

Do u just blink really hard

I need links

[wanton stratus]

Well, your ears, throat, nasal passages and tear ducts are all connected

So it should be possible

Like, if you close your mouth and pinch your nose shut and try to blow, air will come out through your ears and tear ducts

[fluid verge]

This is cursed knowledge

I didn't need to aee

[wanton stratus]

[plain vessel]

the record is almost 3m

[wanton stratus]

Whoa

I found a video with only half that distance from 1998

Whomst managed 3m

[glacial breach]

Thats the good stuff you wanna see when logging in

[wanton stratus]

Looks like you missed a day of logins

Am I right?

[glacial breach]

No I just lowrolled yesterday

And then it gives reserves the next

[wanton stratus]

Oh

[glacial breach]

Have gotten the reserve thing multiple times and I dont miss a day

[wanton stratus]

I thought it gave reserves after a set number of days

[glacial breach]

Not sure how it works

I just always pick plan M

[wanton stratus]

I got my latest one yesterday

[versed compass]

finally found one of those mfs

[wanton stratus]

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition

[vague sail]

how much is the redeployment time cut from pot4 texas

[wanton stratus]

-2 seconds, right?

That what it is for Phantom

[vague sail]

if CC is next event after this i can get the specialist tokens ig

and pot4 texas

should be a good investment

[versed compass]

1 done 2 more rare bosses to go

[spark oasis]

I already have the specialist tokens, what I don't have is a Pot 2+ Texas

No point just going to 3

[wanton stratus]

It’s extra attack

At pot 3

[ebon sphinx]

thoughts: I am not sure if Lavinia is actually a young lady or just comparatively young to all the oldies

[plain vessel]

She's like comparatively young

[wanton stratus]

I was thinking she’s between 25 and 30 during the story of Il Siracusano

[plain vessel]

Her commitment thing with Bernardo was like pretty long no?

Probably in her 30s

[tribal thicket]

She's in her 20s

25 or 26

[ebon sphinx]

alas, we never know because they generally dont give out ages lol

[wanton stratus]

Flashback to Zofia Christmas cake

The good old days

[tribal thicket]

Pretty sure for Lavinia it was revealed/calculatable.

I remember it at 26 or so.

[wanton stratus]

Nice argument senator, why don’t you back it up with a source?

[tribal thicket]

Maybe if I'm poor and jobless with time on my hands, I would do it for those sweet Internet points

[wanton stratus]

Ok, so there’s nothing stopping you then

[queen sequoia]

My source is that i made it the f**k up

[wanton stratus]

[tribal thicket]

okay

Go do your college assignment kids

[strong rampart]

LMAO

Glad that was the first message I read this morning

[ebon sphinx]

However, once Vigil leaves the landship, these same chefs will retaliate by making new renditions of Siracusan classics. For their safety, do not take pictures.``` don't tell Vigil that one of his first Siracusan RI friends liked the choco spaghetti and wanted to recreate more bizarre dishes ![KEKW](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/818462009321586741.webp?size=128 "KEKW")

[wanton stratus]

Rubio’s cooking btfo

[wanton stratus]

Damn, y’all got me so invested in conversations my sanity capped again

[strong rampart]

My sanity has been capped for months

Amateur

[tribal thicket]

Ariel coom to Executor Alt

[tribal thicket]

Mmm delicious yellow certs

[vague sail]

Did you buy the tickets before reset

[strong rampart]

Banned

[tribal thicket]

yuh i bought last month's, this month's, and still got 362 remaining

[vague sail]

I guess you kinda whale alot to start catching up

Was it a good haul at the end of it ?

[tribal thicket]

Oof

[tribal thicket]

aye got pretty much everything i rolled for

[hallow garnet]

glad i could help you start your day with a smile

[hallow garnet]

[tribal thicket]

The 8 sages of Saga

[fluid verge]

And she somehow maintained her sense of self in dusks painting world

Truly disciplined

[tribal thicket]

307 pulls

5 penances

2 texalter

1 exu

And then I spark another texalter

[slate stratus]

in 303 i got 1 penanance 6 texas 1 skalter and 1 swa

the sniper

[violet vortex]

Sounds like a big win to me

[tribal thicket]

Damn

Dude dodge relic

[slate stratus]

man

texas is so useful vs those flying fucks

[violet vortex]

She’s broken

[slate stratus]

ikr

[violet vortex]

I think she’s the strongest character period

In how much she does

[lofty apex]

i think you're the strongest

[violet vortex]

Thanks

[plucky jay]

Texas holding down the first boss for 8 entire seconds

To do it again after 16 seconds

[tribal thicket]

mmm dmg

[plucky jay]

That’s kinda low for a penance

[tribal thicket]

You're low

[plucky jay]

I’m very low

[tribal thicket]

Oh the misery

[wanton stratus]

Neurodegeneration, AKA brain damage

What every Surtr user has

[ebon sphinx]

hmm, fun that Penance seems to be a relative non combatant in the event but she's actually a Juggernaut Defender

similar case with Goldenglow who's only a reserve operator in training at RI but...you know

[wanton stratus]

She does pull out the thorned gauntlet at one point

[vague sail]

That's one extremely painful bonk

[violet vortex]

She has a thorn covered book of law and most of her damage comes from a thorn reflection

It’s a pretty great fit for the character

[wanton stratus]

“We finally finished creating the Siracusan legal system, now let’s compile the most important laws in these books we’ll call codexes. Oh yeah, also, cover the codexes in metal thorns so people keep cutting their hands and bleeding all over them.”

[lofty apex]

one must be prepared to bleed when defending justice

As you open this codex remember the blood of innocents flows just as yours does

[wanton stratus]

Average symbolism fan vs average I just want this thing to fucking work enjoyer

[ebon sphinx]

also i kind of wonder why do wolf tails look nice

[tribal thicket]

God a10

[plucky jay]

was it

[tribal thicket]

Wym was it

[plucky jay]

wait thats not even second phase

[tribal thicket]

Yea

I also got ran over in emergency ops

Lost 20 hp

[violet vortex]

Texas training course

[plucky jay]

bru

[tribal thicket]

Hibi's s2 gets cancelled by TLK freeze

Its so aids

[violet vortex]

Can you believe some say a0 of is3 is still hard

[plucky jay]

ironically

yes

3 op a0 is kinda fun tho

i dont really suggest 2 op tho unless you know what you’re doing going into everything

[violet vortex]

The problem with low op is rng

It’s just not fun spending 3 floors on 1 op

Because you aren’t getting the right tag

[plucky jay]

pretty much

[violet vortex]

Or you get Sanguinarch

Was going to do Penance+Texas which is not hard at all but every run was just spending every floor on just Penance

And when I get both

Sanguin

It stopped being fun but it was also very apparent I could do it when even just 1op Penance was handling majority of maps as is

[plucky jay]

thats just how it is with low op

it was kinda the same back in IS2

[violet vortex]

Yeah if the challenge isn’t fun I’m not doing it

That’s why I liked this reserve op

[plucky jay]

thats why i dont suggest 2 op, mostly cuz it’s hard stuck rng

3 op is easier to handle

more leeway

[tribal thicket]

I always play calamity in is2

How is a0 even hard

[violet vortex]

Unfamiliarity with the maps can make it difficult

But after that it’s really simple stuff

[plucky jay]

pretty much

[violet vortex]

Like the first time I saw the map with 10 sprint reapers on it was wild

It’s why I really like the ascension system

You slowly get familiar with the maps as the difficulty scales up

[tribal thicket]

I just found the drone map

Lmao

[plucky jay]

?

[violet vortex]

So each ascension level isn’t too bad

The triple boss drone map without good aerial is hellish

Low or a0 you can just Texas them though

[plucky jay]

char check lol

[violet vortex]

Yeah it’s a pure aerial check

[plucky jay]

honestly I just got used to needing to soak up a couple hp if i dont have the right chars

ursus drones still hella annoying to deal with

[violet vortex]

Yeah I said that after awhile you learn to leak some things

Triple drone map sucks because you end up leaking way too many with how they travel in packs with stealth

[plucky jay]

Rather face that than out of control at high difficulty tho lol

Low to mid it’s fine

High just pray you don’t get the map

[violet vortex]

It’s the hp boost

Those things live forever

[plucky jay]

Yeah

[tribal thicket]

The multiple drone map

Ursus drone bomber freeze arts

[plucky jay]

I thought it was your first time

[tribal thicket]

Yea

[plucky jay]

It was?

[tribal thicket]

I never seen that map

[plucky jay]

That’s funny

[tribal thicket]

[plucky jay]

I would’ve expected you to see it a couple times by now

[tribal thicket]

Man the maps where i got fucked were

The ones with mephisto throwers

The one with 4 of them all over the place

[plucky jay]

Out of Control

[tribal thicket]

And then emergency one with the guys calling in the drones

Had to fight the mobs that boost the drone speed

[plucky jay]

There’s only one map I actually lost legitimately during my Ascension 15 climb and that was the map

[tribal thicket]

Lost 28 total hp

Over these 2 maps

Couldnt get enough dp out fast enough

And texas got nuked

[plucky jay]

If anything

One of my Ascension 15 runs I accidentally put my vanguard in range of the throwers

It was my only vanguard

You don’t need to guess what happened next

That was a dumb way to throw

It took me 3 tries to do Ascension 15 and 2 of them were lost to Out of Control

[tribal thicket]

truly bad map design though

Cuz you only really have one range tile

[plucky jay]

I like the map idea

But range is too restrictive yeah

[tribal thicket]

Its a good idea but its so melee based map

[plucky jay]

Melee based in a map full of those possessed infected is not fun

You don’t have many options

[tribal thicket]

yea

And the higher ascension

Texas just gets nuked

And the fact it takes time to clear the middle infected is terrible

[violet vortex]

The problem with it is that there are literally 3 safe melee tiles

And 1-2 ranged tiles

You’re forced into a little corner of the map since barely anything can tank the attacks

[plain vessel]

Wait doesn't this make it easier?

I didn't need to follow a guide for once so

[violet vortex]

Don’t you have like

Every unit

[plain vessel]

I'm lazy okay

[plucky jay]

If you were truly lazy you wouldn’t be touching ex stages till the last day

But that’s fine, AK is too free of a game anyways

till SSS

[violet vortex]

If you’re full on 6* meta 99% of maps can be blind run afk’d just camping the blue boxes

[tribal thicket]

True

just penance it

I mean the wolf on ex cm was a little harder than i expected

It killed my Spalter on doll form

Even with gladiia on field

[plucky jay]

Any cm main boss would probably kill Spalter doll nowadays if they could hit it

Lo

Unless you got medics healing it

[violet vortex]

People needing a guide when they have Mudrock, Penance, & ah built

Use the flagpipe setup I know a meta person has then plop down the afk victory

[lofty apex]

ah?

[plain vessel]

I don't have ah ops built tho

As in the full squad

My comp is just meta slave all the way tho

I should get my Saria module

[lofty apex]

my comp is whatever 6* ops i can stuff into my squad

[violet vortex]

And you need a guide using this?

[tribal thicket]

LMAO

Thats a stacked ass team

You pretty much shit on the ex map

The only cm i struggled on was ex 3 cm

Cuz it cut block down

And i didnt use any ranged other than andreana

[plain vessel]

Tbh yes

Too brain dead

[violet vortex]

I will just not question it

[plain vessel]

I'll try using guides less moving forward tho

[violet vortex]

I don’t really get how but I’ve learned with shadowverse what I consider common sense is not so common

[tribal thicket]

its ok grim

Just his playstyle

[lofty apex]

i cant do a single map w/o guides

[tribal thicket]

I had people use guides for cc r18

And i just asked her

"You have every meta op on e2 90"

"Why bother using a guide"

[plain vessel]

I never not use a guide for CC R18 tbh

[tribal thicket]

Wtf

Its so easy though

[plain vessel]

It's more like a can't bother trying thing

[violet vortex]

When so many meta ops just instantly delete everything in front of them

Or are borderline immortal

[plain vessel]

I just copy a strat and be done with it

[violet vortex]

I want to see the gameplay of someone who struggles with it

[lofty apex]

yeah, maybe ez when your brain has wrinkles

[tribal thicket]

Then whats the point of playing though

[lofty apex]

png collection

[violet vortex]

Like if you have Penance right

[plain vessel]

80% of playing Arknights is for the Gacha for me

[violet vortex]

And the stage has 1 blue box

Do you just place your penance in a random corner instead

And that’s why the map is hard

[lofty apex]

my penance has died on every map i used her on since i got her

[violet vortex]

Mine is the opposite

She’s died about one time

[plucky jay]

can’t die if you’ve never used her

It’s a joke

[violet vortex]

Hell I kill most bosses by placing Skadi in front of them

And she just afk kills it with Gladiia

And maybe 1 healer

[plain vessel]

Grim the ah shiller

[lofty apex]

i had to use a guide for EX-8 normal mode cus my penance & thorns & sexas & mountain & chalter didnt work

[violet vortex]

When someone says they’re struggling but then also says Skadi is bad I will combat this

Like the recent chapter steam knight

Skadi killed in 1 deployment

Both phases

On the h-whatever stage

With 1 healer

[plain vessel]

I'm not actually struggling

I just don't want to struggle so I look up guides first things first

[lofty apex]

[violet vortex]

Doesn’t that kill the fun

Of the blind run

[plain vessel]

As I said ^

I don't lose much satisfaction by copying strats for harder maps

[lofty apex]

100% of AK is scrolling through my operator screen

[plain vessel]

Like the only reason I still play Arknights

[violet vortex]

Can’t say I get it but everyone is different

[plain vessel]

Was because that one time I decided to return because of Surtr and managed to pull her early

[violet vortex]

My experience was the polar opposite

I returned on mudrock/surtr banner

80 pulls

1 angelina and nothing else

[plain vessel]

As in I wouldn't continue playing if I didn't pull for Surtr

Probably

[tribal thicket]

I'm no arknights tryhard but

I do the normal content without guides

and r18-21

Its more fun that way

I dont play the pc with micromanagement

Thats too extra for me

[plucky jay]

I’m a tryhard

[violet vortex]

I play on my phone

[plucky jay]

Max risk dailies with low ops n everything

[plain vessel]

[plucky jay]

Just kidding

[plain vessel]

I try hard in Genshin for some reason

[violet vortex]

I don’t do much wild stuff and challenges all the time

[plain vessel]

[violet vortex]

That’s probably because genshin is the easiest game ever

[plain vessel]

I never bother try harding in arknights

[violet vortex]

A dodge button with like

2 full seconds of iframes

[plain vessel]

Dude have you seen the current floor 12

[violet vortex]

Yes

It’s not hard

[tribal thicket]

I did that for a while

[violet vortex]

Abyss has literally not been hard since like

[tribal thicket]

Until i saw people do it better

[violet vortex]

1.1

[tribal thicket]

[plain vessel]

What kind of take is this

[tribal thicket]

Wym

[violet vortex]

I play the game casually

[plain vessel]

Just about everyone who actually does Genshin abyss agrees that abyss has been way harder as of recent

[plucky jay]

It was never about the flex

[tribal thicket]

How is abyss hard

[violet vortex]

And every time I hear someone talk about abyss I never get it

[tribal thicket]

@young void is abyss hard

[plain vessel]

Don't get me wrong abyss used to be easy (easier)

Dude have you seen No L rant in Genshin?

[plucky jay]

Consecrated beast

[violet vortex]

Well I’m not just about everyone

I’m me

[plucky jay]

Yo that stuff is wild asf

[violet vortex]

[plain vessel]

It really started to get hard after Wenut

[violet vortex]

I play normal video games

[plain vessel]

Before then I can agree it's easy

[tribal thicket]

Noelle just beats the shit out of abyss

When i watch her

[violet vortex]

I don’t just play gacha

[plain vessel]

Wait a minute

Old chat got removed already and pins weren't moved yet

[plucky jay]

Tene

[violet vortex]

So I don’t find the game with a 2 second iframe dodge button, characters that provide near immortality, & most team comps that melt enemies like paper difficult

[lofty apex]

i have a grudge against genshin chat because ppl i liked left the server over genshin toxicity

[violet vortex]

Half the difficulty in abyss is an enemy spending half the time in invincibility mode

But this is why I don’t talk about genshin

[plain vessel]

[tribal thicket]

True

The fucking dragon

Wasnt even hard

[plain vessel]

Don't get me wrong abyss is usually still easy for me

[tribal thicket]

Just it being in the sky/ground

80% of the time

[plain vessel]

It's just current abyss and the past few abyss are actually challenging

[violet vortex]

Believe it or not it’s not enjoyable being in a constant state of disagreeing with people

[plain vessel]

The current one is definitely the worst one

Many people would agree

[violet vortex]

So I choose to instead not participate

It’s like when I played dark souls 1 and the game was easy, I’m not going to go into every ds1 conversation I can find saying that

[young void]

This current iteration got almost everyone struggling

[violet vortex]

I play the game dude

I don’t fucking care what someone else experiences

[young void]

Took me two hours to figure out how to beat it when I'd usually smash it first try lmao

[violet vortex]

Or the common opinion

[plain vessel]

What comp you used for current floor 12?

[tribal thicket]

What happened

You smashed it last cycle jeez

Oh grim

[young void]

Mihoyo decided 3 Abyss Lectors, Thundering Manifestation, and Abyss Herald should be in the same second half

[tribal thicket]

Thank you for the exercise thing back then, i still try to keep it up once a while

But its harder with longer shifts

[tribal thicket]

Oh

Thundering manifestation is

Fucking aids

[plucky jay]

Just-desserts before Fontaine releases and kills the difficulty

[young void]

Keqing
Nahida
Fischl
Kirara

Ganyu
Xiangling
Bennett
Zhongli

[tribal thicket]

And 3 lectors+herald yokes

[plain vessel]

Tbh second chamber is the easiest

I'm asking Grim

[violet vortex]

Same as usual
Raiden stuff & Nahida stuff

[young void]

Oo ok

[plain vessel]

Burgeon?

Or just Hbloom

[young void]

Chamber 2 was much harder on my end

Chamber 1 was just dps check

[plain vessel]

Chamber 1 was just a dodge check for me

[violet vortex]

I usually do hbloom with a cryo character but went with bennet instead

[young void]

Lots of fun with Keqing to be had there

[plain vessel]

Oh okay

[violet vortex]

I enjoy the game but I hate talking about it

[tribal thicket]

[violet vortex]

It’s just not fun not agreeing with people ever

That shit is tiring

[plain vessel]

[tribal thicket]

Average genshin chat

[plain vessel]

I mean sure

[violet vortex]

Being “good” at a game is only valuable if you’re a content creator

[plain vessel]

True

[violet vortex]

Otherwise you’re an elitist and a contrarian

[plain vessel]

I challenge myself for no reason

[violet vortex]

So no point bothering talking to people just so I can be called that

[plucky jay]

It’s hard when ur too good

[plain vessel]

I have trauma against Aeonblight drake after a only boys run

[plucky jay]

that’s why you can be goofy like me instead

[plain vessel]

[plucky jay]

I’m joking

[young void]

Challenging yourself is the fun part

But yeah I was watching my friend mald abyss for 5 hours because he refused to not do it with Amber

[plain vessel]

Never not bringing a bow chara to that asshole again

[young void]

He ended up having to cut Amber for the first time in two years lmao

[tribal thicket]

Amber weirdos

[plain vessel]

[tribal thicket]

Cant blame him

[plain vessel]

For me I try 6 character runs

[tribal thicket]

I bring noelle every abyss

And i cope hard as shit

[plain vessel]

[tribal thicket]

[plain vessel]

I think abyss should be easier

Not because I find it impossibly hard to clear normally

But because I can't clear with 6 4 star characters anymore

[plucky jay]

Don’t worry

[young void]

I'm just mad I couldn't bring Tighnari Quickswap coz the T Manifestation is a massive cuck

[violet vortex]

The only endgame content that currently exists and will probably ever exist being made easier just seems really weird

[plucky jay]

They’ll tone the difficulty down after Fontaine probably

[tribal thicket]

Honestly

[young void]

Ngl

[tribal thicket]

The one thing in genshin i count as endgame

[young void]

They made Abyss this way because they regret Nilou

[tribal thicket]

Was the cc mode they had

[violet vortex]

But I do know gacha players hate when video games are video games

[tribal thicket]

That shit was amazing

[young void]

She made Abyss a joke lmfao

[tribal thicket]

Me and my friend malding cuz we got one shot through shield

[violet vortex]

I played with nilou for a bit on event stages

Boring af character

Glad I didn’t roll

She also is one of the biggest failures of the medium height character model

[plucky jay]

Dendro core

Get it?

[violet vortex]

She looks goofy af

[plucky jay]

That’s new lol

[tribal thicket]

Whats wrong with nilou

[violet vortex]

A dancer with weak legs and no muscle definition

[plain vessel]

The only character that I'm looking forward to get that's already released is Kokomi

Sukokomon is fun

[young void]

🐟

[violet vortex]

Every fanart I’ve ever seen of her artificially increases her height

To what the tall model would be

[tribal thicket]

Is her kit that broken

Idk what she does

[plain vessel]

Nilou is like Venti (against Ventiable enemies)

[young void]

Absurdly busted

[plain vessel]

She makes Aoe content irrelevant

[violet vortex]

She looks like she’s cosplaying as a professional dancer it’s so weird looking

[plain vessel]

But kinda eh in ST

Unless you have the cracked af Nilou comp

[young void]

And that's the only nilou comp that matters

Since it's the target of these Abyss changes

Venti wishes he could do the amount of damage Nilou Blooms do

[plain vessel]

Maybe I can try 6 characters only this abyss

Last abyss with 6 characters only wasn't too hard tbh

[tribal thicket]

I see...

Its like when emperor blade shitted on surtr users

That was fun

[plucky jay]

bro

[young void]

That was fun indeed

[tribal thicket]

I nuked him with chen and amiya

[plucky jay]

Surtr users malding, you have to love it

[young void]

Die Surtr

[tribal thicket]

[young void]

[tribal thicket]

"Wait she has immortality"

"Why is she dead"

[young void]

I take back what I said about Ganyu being dated after this abyss btw lmfao

GANYU THE GOAT

Literally

🐐

[plain vessel]

[plucky jay]

bleh

[tribal thicket]

Wasnt ganyu always good

[plucky jay]

that’s what goats say right?

[plain vessel]

Yes but she's really boring to play

[young void]

[plain vessel]

And Ayaka is kinda better for freeze

[tribal thicket]

Well yea

You press e

Charge

Q

[violet vortex]

Ayaka is just like Nilou to me

Boring af

[tribal thicket]

Why do people like ayaka

Shes just a simp

[plain vessel]

None of the Genshin girls are that interesting as a whole tbh

[ebon sphinx]

I would guess that's probably why people prefer the burst spamming Ganyu which is not as boring to play...?

[plain vessel]

[violet vortex]

Mc love bait, strong

[tribal thicket]

True

[young void]

What's not to like

SOUMETSU

[tribal thicket]

I like noelle cuz shes a meme

[young void]

[tribal thicket]

But her personality is

Sleeper

[plain vessel]

I like Genshin but it's not for the characters or the lore but for the gameplay

[tribal thicket]

Strongest maid

[plucky jay]

im sorry Noelle, apparently you a sleeper

[tribal thicket]

Not this noelle

My senpai is wonderful

[young void]

I like genshin but it's for the lore. They put hella soul into world building and the story early on trash but Sumeru massive step up. Can only hope Fontaine keeps it up

[violet vortex]

I can’t get invested into genshin lore

[young void]

I remember a rant post after Signora was killed off

[violet vortex]

Paimon is the worst character ever written

[young void]

The dude was like

[violet vortex]

Gacha’s version of jar-jar binks

I s2g

[young void]

"WAKE UP SHEEPLE, GENSHIN IS A GAME MADE BY WOMEN AND F-WORDS CATERED TOWARDS WOMEN AND F- WORDS"

Was fucking rolling

Game is perfect for me

[violet vortex]

Which is another reason why I don’t join genshin talks much

Involving story

Half the people hate paimon and think she’s the worst thing ever created

I’m on that side

[wanton stratus]

Every gacha game is an L, it’s just a matter of how big

[violet vortex]

Other love them to death

And it’s either an echo chamber

Or an argument

[plain vessel]

personally I don't hate or love Paimon

I just don't care

she's there and kinda annoying I guess

[violet vortex]

It’s impossible for me to not care

[plain vessel]

eh whatever

[violet vortex]

About someone who is the majority of dialogue

[young void]

I'm on the I love Paimon train :d

[violet vortex]

Paimon is 60-70% of the genshin dialogue

[young void]

Bestest Travel Companion

[violet vortex]

And she the most annoying character I have ever experienced

[tribal thicket]

Paimon is

Meh for me

[violet vortex]

I would rather jar-jar binks

[tribal thicket]

Shes like dialogue extension

[violet vortex]

She makes the zelda fairy tame

[tribal thicket]

Whats this hate on jarjar

Hes comedic relief

[violet vortex]

A comedic relief

Can not be around

24/7

[tribal thicket]

You dislike those?

Oh

True

He is around too much

[violet vortex]

Paimon ruined every single story for me

[young void]

Or is he

[tribal thicket]

Honestly the beginning

[tribal thicket]

When they saved jarjar

That was annoying asf

[violet vortex]

People were literally dying in genshin stories

[tribal thicket]

He kept on going

[violet vortex]

And paimon turned it into a clownshow

I could see main characters get cut in half

And this character would make it not seem like I’m supposed to be sad

[tribal thicket]

Paimon: oh no

Dude honestly some of the cutscenes

[violet vortex]

And they have the same problem as all those comedy animes you guys shill

[tribal thicket]

Especially the one where MC saved uh

I forgot his name

[violet vortex]

They have almost entirely 3 jokes

[plucky jay]

lol i dont watch anime

[violet vortex]

Said 8000 times

[tribal thicket]

Paimon was just floating there

So useless....

[violet vortex]

It drives me insane

[wanton stratus]

Wait, the arknights channel really is dead and gone now? For some reason I thought we would still be able to see it, just not use it anymore
Please console me @strong rampart

[violet vortex]

How can a writer

Say the same food joke

For 3 years

[plain vessel]

it's still there

[plucky jay]

ill comsole you

[plain vessel]

just that only mods can see it

[plucky jay]

gimme a sec

[plain vessel]

p sure

[violet vortex]

I’ve seen dora the explorer with more writing diversity

[tribal thicket]

Grim you arent a fan of long animes either are you

[violet vortex]

You got fanfiction that knows how to write more than 1 joke

[tribal thicket]

when i was a child i didnt mind team rocket

[violet vortex]

I’m not a big fan of anime in general

[plucky jay]

i said id comsole not console

[violet vortex]

Team rocket is nice

[tribal thicket]

But god it got boring when i watched it when i was older

[violet vortex]

They have more than 1 joke

They get boring eventually

[tribal thicket]

It was good in the beginning

[tribal thicket]

And sometimes it varies with their content

[tribal thicket]

Like when james became a girl

[strong rampart]

I will bring all our resources over rn

[tribal thicket]

[strong rampart]

[plain vessel]

k am right

[violet vortex]

It makes the whole bit of their characters not as when there is a running theme joke, & a constant like the blasting off joke

[plucky jay]

i will commit not here

[strong rampart]

Bear with me

[tribal thicket]

What

Not you james

[young void]

James the goat

[violet vortex]

But in the middle is the secret sauce of having more than 1 joke to tell

Episode to episode

But paimon and genshin

[wanton stratus]

So mods can see archived channels?

[violet vortex]

The same 3 jokes

[wanton stratus]

[plucky jay]

im the human actually

[strong rampart]

Aye

[violet vortex]

For 3 years

[tribal thicket]

March is better travel companion than Paimon

[violet vortex]

If paimon was my companion

[young void]

You're goat now

[wanton stratus]

Is it possible to learn this power?

Preferably not from a Jedi btw

[violet vortex]

I’d be a sociopath

[tribal thicket]

[young void]

You might be one rn

[tribal thicket]

Maybe MC wont take 500 years to go insane

[young void]

!!!

[violet vortex]

By year 2 I’d be causing chaos on this planet

[tribal thicket]

But in 5

[strong rampart]

No

[violet vortex]

From the borderline insanity

[ebon sphinx]

Traveler gets insane and actually eats Paimon

[wanton stratus]

[strong rampart]

It is possible to purchase it for the very affordable price of $40 CAD tho

[tribal thicket]

Story ends

[violet vortex]

If they gave me the choice to mute paimon

[ebon sphinx]

good ending

[violet vortex]

Just keep everything the same

[wanton stratus]

Discord is just pay to win without the gacha

[violet vortex]

But remove the entirety of their dialogue

And character model

I’d be more invested

You can even leave the parts in when they’re mentioned tbh

Just edit the whole character out and nothing else

[tribal thicket]

Removing the mascot of the game

MHY surely wont allow it to happen

[plucky jay]

remove me from here please

[violet vortex]

Which is why I can’t ever like the story much

[strong rampart]

Gameplay and new operators are fine to post without spoilers, but anything story related from

1. CN

as well as

2. the first 48 hours of a new patch in Global

needs spoiler tags

[tribal thicket]

Honestly first two region stories were ok

[lofty apex]

|| tene is a ten ||

[tribal thicket]

Inzauma just felt like a washed up story

[violet vortex]

I disagree

I think from frame 1

[tribal thicket]

damn

[violet vortex]

This character has been ruining plot points

The most enjoyable story to me

[tribal thicket]

Just paimon alone ruined your entire experience?

[violet vortex]

Was when they weren’t around

Yes

Are you serious

[tribal thicket]

damn

[violet vortex]

Imagine having a roommate

[lofty apex]

yeah i hate paimon

[violet vortex]

Who is just the worst person ever

Like yeah they may be only one part of your life

But they’re ruining quite a bit

And you probably want to move

[strong rampart]

SSS Quick Guide

[wanton stratus]

Mmm yes I love the arknights channel

[young void]

Arknights no content again

[wanton stratus]

[lofty apex]

SSS guide 🤮

[tribal thicket]

I understand you grim

Paimon is meh for me after all

[strong rampart]

I mean

[tribal thicket]

As i said shes just dialogue extension

A lot of the time you dont really need her

[plucky jay]

But you ignore my ak

[young void]

I don't coz Paimon is nice and got my back

[tribal thicket]

[strong rampart]

If u play IS3 till there’s nothing left in the 1 week it’s been out…

Then ggez

[plucky jay]

Now i give you nothing (i habe nothing)

[young void]

Worst roommate ever would be more akin to

[violet vortex]

I wish I could understand noelle

[wanton stratus]

Did I? I’m so sorry!

[violet vortex]

I truly do

[young void]

Hmm

[wanton stratus]

[violet vortex]

The character equivalent of an airhorn being blasted into my cranium 24/7 being enjoyable to you

[young void]

[violet vortex]

And they’re so 1 dimensional too

[young void]

I am not male after all and Genshin is for women

[violet vortex]

No substance

[wanton stratus]

[violet vortex]

They barely are a character in general you know what they’re gonna say at any given moment

[lofty apex]

[ebon sphinx]

Paimon keeps repeating dialogue to pad it out is the problem

[wanton stratus]

It kind of got lost in this genshin spam

[violet vortex]

And it’s like twitch chat level intelligence

[young void]

Yes she repeats because your mc is an npc

[tribal thicket]

LMAO

[young void]

[tribal thicket]

[violet vortex]

The character itself is awful

The repeats are insulting

[tribal thicket]

I can see

[violet vortex]

Their omnipresence is revolting

[tribal thicket]

Paimon in the corner

[violet vortex]

Their voice sucks

[tribal thicket]

Spamming OMEGALOL and POG

[ebon sphinx]

on top of how your dialogue is meaningless in Genshin or are just two ways of saying the same thing. HSR dialogue choices actually matter in comparison

[tribal thicket]

[violet vortex]

Honest to god

That’d be better

Than this character

[tribal thicket]

HSR dialogue choices has actual jokes too

The trash meme itself was

Pretty well done

[violet vortex]

Yeah and you know what else they have

Not her

[young void]

Twitch chat would drive me insane, Paimon wouldn't

[tribal thicket]

True

[violet vortex]

Wonder why it reads less like dogshit

[tribal thicket]

[young void]

I see what steamers have to put up with, I'm banning like 90% of twitch chat lmao

[tribal thicket]

Vtuber No L

Berates her chat

[strong rampart]

Gonna have to kill the off topic now 💀 move to the appropriate channels for jenshit etc.

[tribal thicket]

[violet vortex]

I’m keeping it real pg though on how my life would be with paimon in it

[tribal thicket]

Wtf Tene

Sad

[violet vortex]

||I wouldn’t be alive for long||

[plucky jay]

Steamers be boilin in a pot tho

[wanton stratus]

[wanton stratus]

Unless they’re from Clev-

[lofty apex]

ill kill off your topic

[young void]

Yeah it's why I could never be a streamer

[strong rampart]

Good

[violet vortex]

Arknights writing in comparison is very wordy but it ha some substance there since there isn’t a constant character ruining everything

[young void]

I see some stupid comment, I'd lash out, say a slur, ban them, then get banned shortly after

[violet vortex]

Although I do have a chapter 11 complaint that I would put here

But I’d probably get banned I got too much hate regarding them

[young void]

Arknights writing for me has to be one of the worst

[tribal thicket]

Say it

[lofty apex]

I want no l to call me a slur

[tribal thicket]

[young void]

In the context that everyone is somehow a fucking philosopher

[tribal thicket]

Is it with siege's friend

I forgot her name

[violet vortex]

It’s Allerdale yes

[tribal thicket]

Yea shes

[violet vortex]

This character sent me

[tribal thicket]

A bum to the story

LOL

[violet vortex]

I have a whole novel worth of shit I’ve said about this character

Being the worst thing they’ve ever written

[strong rampart]

Remember that one guy who malded over Yostar ripping off Lovecraft

[tribal thicket]

Only her end action was redeeming

[violet vortex]

Please

[lofty apex]

doesnt everyone ripoff lovecraft

[strong rampart]

[violet vortex]

Don’t

I’m gonna start

[tribal thicket]

Ok

[strong rampart]

Yes

[tribal thicket]

[young void]

No

[lofty apex]

No L doesnt like me

[strong rampart]

I too write eldritch horrors into my fiction

[tribal thicket]

@lofty apex you gotta piss her off

Jk dont

Senpai is a nice person

She doesnt say slurs

[violet vortex]

That redemption was so terrible because it was not executed in a manner that makes any logical sense

[lofty apex]

In my culture, slurs are used to show affection

[strong rampart]

Uhhh

[violet vortex]

I have not seen a more poorly executed redemption arc in my entire life

[strong rampart]

Not in this Discord server’s culture tyvm

[lofty apex]

That is why tene is a villain

[strong rampart]

Oh wait I don’t understand server culture

[tribal thicket]

True it was a pretty bad change of heart in the instance of death

[strong rampart]

[young void]

Damn even sunny read chapter 11

[tribal thicket]

But i did kinda catch how they tried to do it

[violet vortex]

That’s not it family there is so much more reason why

[tribal thicket]

Cuz the steam knight reason

[strong rampart]

Bampy reading???

[young void]

Ever since chapter 8 I've skipped every ak story except the ones that take place in Siesta

Or Brazil

[tribal thicket]

The memories of her past came back because of her seeing the last steam knight

But yea I understand your pov grim

But the fun part

[violet vortex]

I’ll try to tl;dr it

[tribal thicket]

||shes most likely not dead||

[violet vortex]

This character exists for no reason at all

They hijacked the beginning, middle, & end of the story

They are a legitimate ad level garbage in my story

[strong rampart]

Who is the Paimon of AK

[tribal thicket]

none
