[hallow garnet]

lumen 2nd module is better right?

[quaint arch]

Yes

Better heal coverage is good

Base Mod is good enough btw

No need to go further

@hallow garnet

[hallow garnet]

alr

i'll grab it

also what a chill anni

this is like

the perfect chongus lane setup

[tired sky]

yep

right down the middle, with an ifrit above to make it a duo killing lane

ifrit plus chungus

[tribal thicket]

Is it worth to get module for Ifrit?

Does it increase her attack range?

[quaint arch]

No.

It only gives damage

[tribal thicket]

Did they

Remove

Alter character

Rewards?

The one where if u have e1/e2 get something"

[tired sky]

yes they removed it with texas iirc

they also removed the limit of only being able to deploy one of them

which was the reason why they were giving rewards in the first place

[tribal thicket]

Well that's gay

No radiant knight instant e2 speedrun for me then

[tired gulch]

Today is a VERY GOOD DAY.

[versed compass]

ya i have her m6 over here

[glacial breach]

[tired sky]

myrtle is like a must, cmon, she works the most out of all my operators, she deserves that much

[glacial breach]

I dont bring flagbeares to non cc content

I use siege the most, and ines have been a perm slot as well since I got her

[versed compass]

i use the other flags more often

[glacial breach]

I use saileach some

Because her s3 is very useful

[tired sky]

i use myrtle the most, but when i bring a lot of snipers elysium replaces her

and saileach is raised to e2 90 but i dont use her much

[hot rampart]

@glacial breach ^ new farm table updated with ch12

[hot rampart]

Texas putting pineapple on pizza makes this a non-canon event for sure

[ebon sphinx]

see she's Columbian born to a Siracusan family and convos in IS indicates she doesn't mind stuff like fruit pizza when her teammates asked about it

it's a canon event

[ebon sphinx]

oh right since I remembered, looked up Surtr monthly story and its indeed mainly crumbs

||Surtr, the Feranmut, was sealed by Sami, the Feranmut, in Sami. It seems Surtr's, the operator, sword is connected to the Feranmut and tried to make her go to Sami to unseal the Feranmut in exchange for her memories. In the end she decided against unsealing Surtr and resolved to recover her memories the hard way||

||Consider that Surtr is a fire giant in Norse myths that's destined to burn the world during Ragnarok lol||

[hot rampart]

but the golem surtr gave surtr ice cream and helped her play skateboard

surely golem surtr aint bad

[quaint arch]

Today I handhold my Bros account and Gacha the Limited Banner.
It was on the 24th Pull count, and Orundumbs not looking good per say.

[ebon sphinx]

i wondered a bit where did gamer girl Mumu come from but there's this + that tidbit in her profile saying she does game reviews

[hot rampart]

factorio with mumu

[tired gulch]

That begs the question. What games does Mumu play?

My headcanon ended up being that if she's an RTS player, she'll be a certified WC3 Night Elf or Human main

[tribal thicket]

Maybe genshin impact

She is Nahida main

[tired gulch]

Truly the Teriteri experience

[tribal thicket]

Probably watch Uncle Roger too

And play Hecarim like Doaenel

[tired gulch]

Pffft

[ebon sphinx]

farming simulators seem possible

shes the ecology director

as is historical and civilization games

[violet vortex]

Getting through the event & I see dialogue is still not great in this either

So many characters reduced to exposition dumps devoid of personality in their conversations

Also constantly addressing characters by their full name, rank, & affiliation is so inorganic

Especially multiple times in the same 5 minute conversation

[tired gulch]

Remember that it could have been worse

[violet vortex]

I don’t know how they’re able to craft a good overall plotline but can’t make good character dialogue

It’s so infrequent that a character even feels like they’re unique being placed in a conversation

And half of that is still just a character being uniquely weird while still being exposition heavy

[ebon sphinx]

exactly on the 300th roll eh

not that I mind

[violet vortex]

Despite how terrible some events she was in, Kroos for instance didn’t have this problem really

Idk how they can write Kroos to more consistently be a character

But can’t write Saria for example

[tribal thicket]

I think so too Neon Violet Grim

[violet vortex]

Even more egregious with a handful of unique npcs

Who feel dead in the water because their whole personality can be summed up as whitebread toast

It not being consistent all throughout is what makes it so weird. Select few get a lot of characterization, while others get next to none. The only thing making them unique being the information they can relay

Has to just be a matter of different writers of varying quality tackling things

[ebon sphinx]

https://vxtwitter.com/HM_Hmongt/status/1723672739637342554

[hot rampart]

@violet vortex is there any npc u wanna point out
1 being good
another 1 being bad

[violet vortex]

Sure, I could even use the more serious type that can struggle with expression

Degenbreacher has plenty of personality despite having few moments of dialogue & being a serious character

Bad one being like TinMan, he has unique characteristics but in dialogue doesn’t give off any unique impressions

His intrigue lies solely in the information he can produce, not him as a person

It’s a weird concept since it’s not exactly black/white. And is also really hard to do. And part of the problem can also come from too many similar personalities diluting each other

[versed compass]

[violet vortex]

Although the worst of it is exposition-mode. Where instead of cleanly implemented information in a way that feels organic to a conversation, they say it verbatim

Hello useless0421 the shadowverse player, how you doing today? I notice you are also an Arknights player, I am as well 🙂

^ this kind of dialogue happens way too frequently in this game

[tired sky]

she plays league in a premade with her clones obviously

the only way to have a non-toxic league experience

perfect teamwork too

[ebon sphinx]

you can only solo/duo in league ranked :<

[tired sky]

ah

dota 2 then

[tribal thicket]

So

She plays

Meepo

[wanton stratus]

Damn, my hate for her is growing already

[glacial breach]

[hot rampart]

i like meepo players

im one of em

[wanton stratus]

Fuck micro; all my homies HATE micro

[tired gulch]

I'm more of a Tresdin main

Either him, or Wraith King

[glacial breach]

1 button character

[ebon sphinx]

WK has more than one buttons now

[wanton stratus]

Does he?

If you count toggling the lifesteal aura

[ebon sphinx]

yes, but still very simple, E also summons skellies

[wanton stratus]

I had forgotten that one

[tired gulch]

Brah

Honestly been a while, to be honest

Played a lot more heroes back then and those two are the ones I remembered off the bat

[wanton stratus]

Same

First I escaped dota, then SV years later

[versed compass]

meepo players in my team are perfect

they spread each meepo so they can 1v1 every enemy in the map

[violet vortex]

Finished the entire lone trail & I still don’t know what the doctor does in Rhodes

[wanton stratus]

He diagnoses operators with ‘morbiusly a beast’

[hot rampart]

base managing and operation strategist

[hallow garnet]

literally what we do as a player. tell ops where to go what to do in a fight and manages the base yea

anime shows this off nicely

[violet vortex]

I guess I struggle to see that when 90% of battles don’t lineup with the story

Or he is physically not there to have done that

[hallow garnet]

he doesnt have to be

[violet vortex]

Seems the ops don’t really need him around at all to do just fine

[hallow garnet]

thats why we have the eyesofpriestess

hes watching thru satellite

and instructing thru the ptrs

[violet vortex]

But that begs the question

Why is he there sometimes

When he is only a detriment in person

[hallow garnet]

dunno

[violet vortex]

Physically weaker than an average civilian

Makes no sense to be there in person if all it does is introduce the potential to randomly die to a stray bullet

It’s just that for a story that is so keen on telling me what the rocks are made out of when I didn’t ask

Why are this guy’s actions the only thing left upto interpretation?

Amiya & Kal both seem to be doing way more way more often

All the time for rhodes

[hot rampart]

he has plot armor its fine

the only time someone tried to aim him was skullshaterrer and dont remember any other cases

[violet vortex]

And this guy just kind of exists

It makes whenever they talk about his importance go over my head

[hot rampart]

is it an interpretation when its exactly what he does

[violet vortex]

There is no pre & post fight implication that he did any of that

[hot rampart]

he was on operation with ifrit and rosmontis to stop the vice president assasinstion

[violet vortex]

Like even in lone trail for the one fight that could’ve possibly happened that he could’ve helped with

He didn’t

He just hid behind Rosmontis & gave no commands

[hot rampart]

ifrit literally followed his instructions

[violet vortex]

I meant in the room

[hot rampart]

surveying for enemies

with rosmontis

[violet vortex]

But even then that was the only thing he did do across Dorothy & Lone trail while in Columbia

Just seems like idk

Anyone else could’ve done this?

Even Amiya

[hot rampart]

yeah pls point out who can

and make them be there instead

see if u can fit them in the story

[violet vortex]

He doesn’t come off as an important factor to rhodes at least as more than a test subject

Even the assassination thing was already being handled by Saria accidentally

And that was the only thing he did across those 2 events that was more than just tagging along with someone else

[hot rampart]

well they helped saria handle it faster

[violet vortex]

Kal on the other hand did countless other things in lone trail alone

[hot rampart]

he serve as a self insert character for players to have some semblance of importance for being there

[violet vortex]

It does the opposite for me

[hot rampart]

well ur problem

[violet vortex]

When I see him being there doing basically nothing

It makes him feel even less important

Besides break the ice & I near light to some extent

Always just seems like he’s a liability being there in person

[hot rampart]

yeah and enemies dont acknowledge that

[violet vortex]

What about in story segments then when his life is easily threatened?

He almost died 3 times in this event

Yeah I know plot armor but you can’t tell me someone is a genius but doesn’t know how to better not be in danger

[hot rampart]

i only remember hool part

[violet vortex]

When he’s incapable of defending himself

[hot rampart]

1 being a decoy by mumu

1 being actual him

with kalsit beside

whats the 3rd one

[violet vortex]

When the hotel gets barged in initially

[hot rampart]

that part is funny

[violet vortex]

There was also seemingly no security in that place

[hot rampart]

rosmontis carried him too

[violet vortex]

Because the elf also just kind of showed up while he was sleeping

[hot rampart]

but the enemies was aiming for some documents

and not him

elf has been infiltrating anywhere she can cuz she can just pop out of the watersink

literally told she stalked rhodes island from time to time

[violet vortex]

Yeah but he couldn’t have known that & it’s not like a casualty was off limits

[hot rampart]

well good thing mumu doesnt have some ill intent then

[violet vortex]

Anyways this is just one event’s example
Him being there often turns things into escort missions for the others

And I never see much of a benefit to this massive added weight

Besides just wanting him to be there

[hot rampart]

the writers probably dont wanna try acknowledging him before/after operation in the dialogues cuz they are probably busy adding non sensible dialogues instead

[violet vortex]

Even if I take every single thing I as the player do as his work, then cases like talulah fight still apply

He was sent with Kal who did the majority of the work

And Amiya dealt with Talulah

This guy was just… there

A near nonfactor for the climax of the first major event in the main story

Besides the very end for a non planned reason

[hot rampart]

its ok he is there just as moral support

[ebon sphinx]

squints the last 3 fucking hours were all alot of ranting I see

[violet vortex]

Not saying he has to “break the ice” every time he’s around

But the complete opposite seems to be his M.O.

Just the least impactful factor of a given event. Making me wish he just wasn’t there as it’s adding unnecessary risks to an operation

For no benefit

[hot rampart]

he is there to negotiate with the opposite side if he needs to

and i dont think its a good idea to make kal do the negotiation instead

[violet vortex]

Can’t tell if my expectations are too low or too high for the character

I guess it’s all the praise that makes their seemingly small contribution to things come off wrong

If this was treated as a more normal character and not someone super important would probably go over better

[hot rampart]

i think u have ur expectations too high

[violet vortex]

If there was one thing the did nail was that this guy is a fish out of water

Doesn’t belong here

Almost every group conversation from serious to casual he seems so out of place

I know the character is special, but more for what he is or was, but for current actions not really sold

[violet vortex]

Was more like half an hour but I don’t usually pop in just to praise something

Not hard to find countless threads, forums, or people to gush about what they liked on something

[violet vortex]

Liked the event overall I just didn’t like the Doctor’s inclusion in either Rhine event. And in most events in general. Although Dorothy event only existed to set the stage for this one

||I did like how realistic Parvis’ death was after Silence essentially destroyed his life’s work. Then said she’s taking him to a hospital where he’d first be tried for Rhine stuff, then thrown into a mental asylum||

[wanton stratus]

I haven’t read the Dorothy’s vision story yet

[violet vortex]

Nothing happens in it don’t worry

[hot rampart]

it was an okay exposition dump

of how Arts work and dorothy did nothing wrong

[fluid verge]

||cat daughteru going "I just wanna see you die and then erase you from my memory" was metal af||

[ebon sphinx]

||I swear when I read Loken's dialogue, the arrogance was dripping off him||

[violet vortex]

If they made ferdinand an attractive anime girl you would’ve asked for his justice too

They were in that together

But only 1 took serious punishment

And don’t tell me it’s about intent, ||the entirety of lone trail was about how the process towards progress matters||

[hot rampart]

yeah doesnt it come with lonetrail

[quaint arch]

Yes

Also,
||Don't go to #tb-rotation-discussion chat rn||

[tired sky]

its a pretty notable upgrade

[quaint arch]

[tired sky]

adds another instance of damage to her attacks

which is also half of the og's attack

and increases the def ignore part iirc

from 160/175 to 220/235

[hot rampart]

its definitely a substantial increase to her dps

[tired sky]

fairly ok

[hot rampart]

and the def ignore is applied 3 times

[quaint arch]

But do you wanna pay that rare Module Blocks for it?

[tired sky]

shes not gonna be meta by any means but feels much better to use

[quaint arch]

[tired sky]

mine is m9'd

you can guess

[hot rampart]

rare module blocks?

[tired sky]

[quaint arch]

Well, I'm also the same, but...

I'm gonna wait till the Event ends first.

[hot rampart]

she is completed

unless she gets a 3rd(delta) module

So you can get the first 3rd Module sooner

[glacial breach]

When are they introducing triple speed for auto deploy

[ebon sphinx]

sadly i dont think they think its possible since skill activations and stuff are like by frame + cannot be simultaneous + x2/x3 speed = 2 frames in 1 or 3 frames in one uh...

gonna break alot more autos

[hot rampart]

instead of banging their heads over frames in 3x speed

how about skip function straight up

literally already exist for annihilation but nooo they are too scared of people doing 1-7 effortlessly for orundum farming so instead they introduce some shitty simple macro (still better than nothing tho)

[ebon sphinx]

that will be the day...

[glacial breach]

Or maybe just a function to autodeploy a stage X times

So you dont have to manually start each one

[ebon sphinx]

now that one...

is 6 months off

😔

[hot rampart]

this is the shitty macro i mentioned

u can do up to 6

So spalter probably get 90 hp

No, the HP from potential should be base hp, making it multiplied by the talent as well

It's okay, you don't need Franka

Unless you wanted Franka that is

[tired gulch]

This is a lot more difficult than I expected

[tired sky]

oh boy youre gonna hate the CM

[tough matrix]

no more hopes for me

I think this is the good time to stop playing the game

[tired sky]

D:

[violet vortex]

Do you really not save at all

We get a 6 months advance and you saved like 30 pulls

[tough matrix]

No

i don't even remember whose I pull

but I did remember that I pull for ines

and that's it

I already did around 40 pulls on Mumu's banner and no 6*

[violet vortex]

Says 53 right there

But idk why you wouldn’t save if you care to get something specific

[hot rampart]

well the past banners have been pretty good

texas/penance > reed > chong/lin > yato > ines > mumu/hool

i can see why some people has no

orundum at all

between chong/lin & yato is qiu bai

which is just walmart ines

Wtf

[versed compass]

dw i lost her faster

[violet vortex]

That was a stage alright

[tired sky]

i personally like the bumper robot on the left acting all innocent

you kill it first thinking it might screw you

it was actually helping

[violet vortex]

I already knew it was helping when the 6th stage did the same thing

I just waited until I had a defense for the extra lane

[tired sky]

its my reflex to try and kill enemies

as soon as they pop up

[violet vortex]

I kind of wish the later stages had more ball attacking

These last couple were more gravity based

That final wave where they send katanas & 3 block rockets sure is something

New Mechanics: Healing & Regen is now inverted to damage you instead.

[ebon sphinx]

Angelina can drain you dry instead?

[wanton stratus]

I’ll take Hagsex happy ver. thank you

[tribal thicket]

U guys are overthinking it

Sleeping on her fluffy tails will drain all my energy dry

And make me fall asleep instantly

[wanton stratus]

Uh oh

Go back to SV, Ceres

And go meet Ceres instead

what the fuck is that cm ex 8

how to stop the rocket car

[quaint arch]

How many cars flew in the line at once?

I assume 2 of them

Have you tried Mostima?

Surely slowing them down to the snail will do

[tribal thicket]

Suzuran can make them slow down as well

[quaint arch]

Well, will it be slow enough?

Also, Lisa doesn't do damage, can only Amplify Damage

Altho, you don't expect Splash Casters to do significant damage either

[tribal thicket]

She give your allies enough vigor

[quaint arch]

[tribal thicket]

To deal damage

[wanton stratus]

I’m damaged

[tribal thicket]

@tribal thicket I'll give you vigor in bed

@wanton stratus u too

The 42 year old brand

Also, whoever said I will hate this, they were right

[tired sky]

murder them as they go through your operators

no really, ive seen a clear thats almost entirely made up of casters lmao

they'd just be killing the stuff as it goes through the middle

cant wait for the 200 orundum to celebrate this

[hot rampart]

https://vxtwitter.com/ArknightsEN/status/1725063399833526681?s=20

[violet vortex]

Everything has reduced weight

So there is 3 methods
Just kill them very fast
Block with overpriced 3 blockers
Or cc them with pushers

I kind of liked this ex since it has 3 “phases”
Kristen 2nd phase
The top left lane opening
The rocket cars + any of the big dudes left over sprinting to the finish

For any way you go about it you obviously want them going uphill and not downhill with the gravity

[tired sky]

Mlynar is of course still godlike even in the cm

36 cost for mlynar still too cheap

either way trim obtained

time to wait for S stages

[violet vortex]

I bruteforced the cost with flagpipe & fish because I’m too attached to using them

I did like using Gladdia’s pull on these super light enemies though

[tired sky]

i brought texas and saileach to deploy early and generate dp, deployed eyja/gg/exusiai early with nightingale/skalter to keep them healed

then as i got more dp i deployed ifrit and mlynar

[violet vortex]

I need another push/pull fish to use

Flagpipe + Angelina for healing the vanguards

Slowly took down the 2nd phase orbs after they were healed

Fish guarding the lanes

[tired sky]

with the way i positioned gg, exusiai and ifrit would each kill 1 orb

so kristen was weakened enough to die

had yato on the back as a safety

[violet vortex]

By the time I killed the 2nd phase orbs Kristen was walking into the Skadi death lane

[tired sky]

she died the 2nd time to walking down the middle into yato+mlynar

and gg/eyja

nothing survives that

[violet vortex]

It was a cool stage

Do wish there were more ball stages though

For attacking

[quaint arch]

Latest Module Ratings (CN) are out

[hot rampart]

hm im surprised by that mudrock module rating

sp lockout is a thing i didnt consider

it kinda dont make a big different against multiple enemies attack with the sp lockout

but lvl 1 module seems pretty insane for her but not the upgrades

[tired sky]

yeah unsurprising the juggernaut modules are good

[ebon sphinx]

what are known S or SS ranked ratings?

[quaint arch]

There are no SS Rankings

Only S

Here's the S Ranked Module Ratings
Typhon
Ceobe (Module Rating only)
Rosa
Gladiia (Module Rating only)
Specter the Unchained (Module X)
Skadi (Module X)
Saria (Priority Rating)
Mostima (Module Rating only)
Ch'en (Module Rating only)

[ebon sphinx]

module rating only... 🙃

oof

[quaint arch]

What it meant

[ebon sphinx]

yes

thats why "oof"

[violet vortex]

Gladiia definitely is the “what the fuck” tier of modules

It’s as close to making the entire character different as it can get

[tidal hawk]

Is it good wtf, or bad wtf?

[quaint arch]

Good one

It's so good that it almost blow Grim's mind.

[violet vortex]

No other character singlehandedly turns an entire faction into self healing tanks including themselves

[tidal hawk]

Is Gladiaa a seaborn also?

[hot rampart]

yes shes an aegir super soldier

so have seaborn dna in her

Mudrock just become

Isn't?

With that new module

[wanton stratus]

The we must stay strong against the P2W menace, my brothers

[hot rampart]

u can buy 1 monthly from this

even tho its 10 dollar and monthly is 5 dollar

i think its the best value if u are f2p

[wanton stratus]

I’d rather buy 5 instant ramyun packets

[violet vortex]

Gonna have 500 or so pulls by the time the next cool unit drops

At least I think Swire is a ways away

[wanton stratus]

Damn, are you orundum farming too?

[violet vortex]

No

[wanton stratus]

How are you so rich?

on the other hand the clone attacks do not produce shockwaves

[tired gulch]

I think I'll be stuck here for a while

[tired sky]

its a water clone, they should produce only waves

[tired sky]

do you have mountain? he can hold the top by himself

and any puller's auto s1 can deal with the adds on the bottom right

theyre slow enough that even a skill 7 recharges before theyre out of range

then its just a matter of dealing with the middle

[tired gulch]

Noted

Mountain and Cliffheart it is.

I like the design of that challenge stage because you redirect the hoard in the other direction by pushing the ball

And then you get a much more favorable position

[violet vortex]

Enjoy the <1k dps

May she tickle all your enemies to death

[versed compass]

ya so those appears in free plan

[hallow garnet]

yo

smartyboys

im very bad at math

which pack has the best $ to pull value

cuz i read that pure PO buying even with 1st purchase double bonus is trash ratio

but i cant find a pack sheet or anything like that

is there just no such guide out there cuz ppl assume only whels buy packs and whels buy everything anyway?

[sharp tartan]

Free pull

[hot rampart]

right now the usual monthly headhunting is the best pull ratio

also heads up if u buy through google play games beta and ur country is listed here u can get 10$ discount @hallow garnet

[hallow garnet]

it's not

also wow the basic monthly is the best ratio? wtf

so the packs are all a lie?

[hot rampart]

yes

[hallow garnet]

what kind of bullshit is this. why would you make the limited packs worse

thats just bad business

[violet vortex]

Because isn’t the monthly

Monthly?

[hot rampart]

most "value" is the

instant e2 90

that comes with 10 pull

its just all whale stuff

[hallow garnet]

it has 19 PO

thats a 10pull?

[hot rampart]

wait

[hallow garnet]

[hot rampart]

nvm

[hallow garnet]

alr monthly headhunt it is

and ignore the rest

[hot rampart]

think the value packs

only comes during anniversary?

the good pull values one

[violet vortex]

It’s also common in the gacha sphere to have purposely bad deals

To the highlight the better ones

It’s like playing both sides of a competition

[hot rampart]

5$ monthly usually the best in any gacha that makes u willing to "subscribe" to it

cuz its just 5 dollar per month

since the game is almost 4 years old

anybody who has bought 5$ monthly since the 1st month spent over

230$

[hallow garnet]

@hot rampart how is the 49.99 pack not better than monthly HH?

it's about double the price

but more pulls

[hot rampart]

pulls value is

idk

how much pull total is it

including PO

[hallow garnet]

monthly hh is 25.99 for 42 PO + 10 pull, 49.99 for 90 PO + 10 pull (plus mats)

like this is just obviously better

you get more than double the PO

for less than double the price

smh ur bad at math too

[hot rampart]

real

[hallow garnet]

i thought it was onyl me

and i almost believed you

ayyyyyyyyyyyy

breaking my trust

[hot rampart]

let me count its

oru per $

again

444

[hallow garnet]

for it to be equal to monthly hh (not counting the mats in the bigger pack at all) it should be 51.98 for 84 PO + 10pull. then the packs would have equal pull value

but instead it costs only 49.99 and has 90 PO + 10 pull

so it's better value

[hot rampart]

yeah hold that thought

process

[hallow garnet]

[hot rampart]

if u buy monthly twice its

84 po + 20 pull

for well 52 dollars

while 90 po + 10 pull

is 50 dollars

[hallow garnet]

right

i only looked at the PO value

not thinking about pull should be 20 pull

[hot rampart]

yeah i think my math is

[hallow garnet]

and thats why im bad at math

[hot rampart]

okay

[hallow garnet]

yea you win then

monthly HH is better value if we discount the mats

and im not gonna turn the mats into sanity

[hot rampart]

thats right

[hallow garnet]

...

alr no rush then

when is rexalter?

[hot rampart]

i dont see worth of buying mats unless u uberwhale it doesnt matter

[hallow garnet]

i dont care for mats

im swimming in them

[hot rampart]

give or take 1month from now

[hallow garnet]

fine

[hot rampart]

we should be getting

POO mode at end of this month

[hallow garnet]

how much PO is 1 pull?

[hot rampart]

then stulfera navis rerun

[hot rampart]

3/4

since 1 po = 180 oru

[hallow garnet]

aha

[tribal thicket]

Just do times 180 multiplication

[hallow garnet]

what a shitty setup

god forbid it's a round number

[tribal thicket]

Y so lazi

[hot rampart]

yeah this is basic

money

jewing

[hallow garnet]

alr

[tribal thicket]

They probably try to copy americans

Like americans use mile instead of kilometers

[hallow garnet]

so monthly HH is about 23 pulls

give or take

[tribal thicket]

And 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometer

[hallow garnet]

ugh

imperial system is just so ASS

stupidest thing ever

it's like driving on the left side

why would you do that

[tribal thicket]

Y can't it just be 1.6 km?

Or better 1.5

At least easier to count

What is that 934 doin there?

[hot rampart]

this is just american problems
it lies in history

[tribal thicket]

[hallow garnet]

but this is good. no rush with the packbuying then

ican just wait till end of the month

and see if i want it

[hot rampart]

ye

since my country is listed in 10$ discount i went and buy the 26 monthly for 16

[tribal thicket]

Whoever americans that find these metrics

Probably has fetish

With decimal numbers

[hallow garnet]

btw this wasnt invented by americans

it's a british thing

[hot rampart]

british did a lot of things tbf

[hallow garnet]

americans in their big independence forgot to get rid of this

[tribal thicket]

Ah British and their whole ass colonialism propaganda
