[reef isle]

doesnt she fully die tho

[wanton roost]

ya

[reef isle]

along with harran and isabelle

[wanton roost]

tentatively Nihilister is dead in the story right now

[buoyant crag]

Which happened months afterwords

[reef isle]

Im just glad they had balls to actually kill chars

LIVERYN NEEDED TO DIE YESTERDAY

[buoyant crag]

And heretics dying barely means anything when we killed Chatterbox and Egypt bitch and all it took was Nihilister eating part of them to respawn

[wanton roost]

almost like plot points can be shelved an picked up for later

[cedar panther]

Egypt bitch?

[wanton roost]

Indivilia

[buoyant crag]

Couldn't remember her name

[cedar panther]

The jobber who got owned by a random naked lady?

[wanton roost]

yup

[buoyant crag]

https://tenor.com/view/nikke-gif-17339139875507199077

[wanton roost]

she was always been to be a jobber

[cedar panther]

She couldn’t 1v1 scarlet either

[wanton roost]

either way Nihilister or who she was is effectively dead, and anything that comes back will likely be a facsimily the Queen creates

[reef isle]

so

Do you think we nightbattle Prika

Mint got humbled

by our tastes

[buoyant crag]

Knowing how Idol culture works

No

[reef isle]

<_<

I mean its US

so its not impossible

[buoyant crag]

Hoffen you are asking if a Korean game is going to let you fuck the idols

KOREAN GAME

[reef isle]

this KOREAN GAME

[wanton roost]

not with that attitude

[reef isle]

has had the MC have more sex than many other games

both in bonds and more

so its not impossible.

[wanton roost]

one of the very few gacha to give the MC a bio child, which is funny

[buoyant crag]

The power of the Idol Industry is strong

[reef isle]

Yeah we have a child too

though the thought of how makes me squirm af

[wanton roost]

[reef isle]

Brother I dont like that type of things.

[stoic rampart]

ok furry fucker

come on charmony kitty.

[cedar panther]

You have 9

Why do you want another?

[reef isle]

NEEDLES

[buoyant crag]

You act liek Needles would hurt SKK at this point

Man's been shot how many fuckin' times now?

Surprised his blood stream isn't composed of Lead

[reef isle]

I know at the time of the NEEDLE

we litterally fell off of mother whale

[buoyant crag]

.......

[reef isle]

and shattered every part of our body

[buoyant crag]

Fuckin' Excuse me?

[reef isle]

Yeah.

[buoyant crag]

HE SURVIVED?

[reef isle]

Yep

[buoyant crag]

BULLSHIT

[reef isle]

because he's been getting stronger

though

[buoyant crag]

NO FUCK YOU

[reef isle]

Idk how tf he survived that

[buoyant crag]

WE ARE STILL MEAT

I don't care how thick his skull is his brain would look like Mochi from falling that high

[reef isle]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

[buoyant crag]

https://tenor.com/view/yosho-yoshi-hai-yoi-yoi-mochi-mochi-making-gif-16946453427369840634

[reef isle]

yet I read it

[stoic rampart]

OHHHHHH

[stoic rampart]

i want 4 more to the entire cat tree is charmony doves cats

[reef isle]

Because the needle happens in the time our body starts to somehow heal

and finally waking up in that false ARK

I wish it was a nightbattle instead of the needle

could have been funnier

[cedar panther]

He’s probably infertile due to his origins

[buoyant crag]

They are really pushing that Test Tube baby bullshit aren't they?

[reef isle]

Then how did we make Only One

[buoyant crag]

Blood.

[reef isle]

In the story it's heavily implied by a character

Nayuta

[cedar panther]

Cloning

[stoic rampart]

so do you think they went through the sack or the entire opening?

[wanton roost]

basically Nikke Commander is a super human at this point

[reef isle]

yes

[cedar panther]

Still can’t beat that other guy in a fight though

[stoic rampart]

i just need sparkle cat lol

[cedar panther]

He’s just the human form of a slime girl, as long as his core is intact he regenerates

[buoyant crag]

I remember, we talked to Syuen's sister in the underground lab

[reef isle]

though I like the confirmation that Anderson was the legendary skk

and doro breakin down from that

[spice sorrel]

they're good at doing that

building up for a looong while

[buoyant crag]

As if there was any fucking shot he wasn't

Like

Literally any.

[spice sorrel]

and then when it finally pays off

damn

[reef isle]

I mean anderson 1v300 ish DEEP

[cedar panther]

They’ve been hitting everyone over the head with that implication since we first met the goddess squad

[buoyant crag]

The literal first time we see the SKK from Goddess everyone already knew it was him

[spice sorrel]

like the redemption of oswald and burningham is

[cedar panther]

[tender basin]

Backpack

[cedar panther]

NTR man

[buoyant crag]

I feel like leaving shit and building up shit in the background is neat and all but like.... I fell like it takes too long to get to at times

[reef isle]

that fat fuck also had his redemtion

story wise

[buoyant crag]

I mean... was he ever really like.... bad?

[reef isle]

Im glad he killed Doban

[spice sorrel]

marian

[buoyant crag]

He was kinda just..... doing his job

[spice sorrel]

from our pov at least

[cedar panther]

He’s just a coward with no backbone who had a really hot nikke loyal to him

[spice sorrel]

pov matters when it comes to this

[reef isle]

Doban was a POS

im glad he killed doban

[buoyant crag]

IDK I just never got "This guy is an irredeemable ass hole" from him

Just that he's doing his job

[spice sorrel]

i mean

[buoyant crag]

[spice sorrel]

few characters do

crow is one of them

the other is liveryn

[buoyant crag]

IDK Dorothy and Crow are two of them

[reef isle]

FUCK LIVERYN

[spice sorrel]

doro has been...

considerably tamed down

[reef isle]

EVERYBODY HATES LIVERYN

[stoic rampart]

ANOTHER ONE

[buoyant crag]

Doro's been changed now but I will not forget how bullshittily petty her ass is

[reef isle]

rip fragile

[spice sorrel]

i mean no one is denying that

but isnt that the definition of redeemable

tbh

looking back on it

im surprised doro didnt mind switch tbh

[reef isle]

I mean doro could have done so much worse, but didnt

[buoyant crag]

IDK wanting to destroy the last bastion of Humanity cuz they didn't welcome you when the world was still going to shit, so you bitch and complain and have the other members of your team literally tell you that you have a FUCKING JOB TO DO

[spice sorrel]

i mean pin

[cedar panther]

Doro repressed a lot of her trauma in exchange for that

[spice sorrel]

im mostly hanging off the word "irredeemable" here

if she has changed for the better i wouldnt call that irredeemable

doesnt change that she was an asshole tho yes

[stoic rampart]

what a cute cat

[buoyant crag]

Very few people are Irredeemable.
But I feel like I'd still have a hard time trusting her, like at all.

[wanton roost]

not as if Burningham was ready to merc Doro the moment she entered the arc

[spice sorrel]

i mean

[cedar panther]

Hanabi cat?

[spice sorrel]

a normal person would still have issues trusting her

[cedar panther]

Very dangerous

[spice sorrel]

the about face was very jarring admittedly

but i do see it more of

[wanton roost]

literally most of the time we've seen Dorothy post Arc Invasion is her showing she still deeply cares for humanity

[spice sorrel]

the straw that broke the camel's back

tho as hoff said

liveryn can fuck off

[wanton roost]

got packed we love that

[spice sorrel]

when the whole hammering thing happened back in like

ch28 or something

[buoyant crag]

Also I kinda hate the Sixxo reveal

[stuck wigeon]

Mustang did nothing wrong

[buoyant crag]

[spice sorrel]

i already found her worse than crow

and i was vindicated

[reef isle]

Like in the tier lists

[spice sorrel]

maybe more times than i would have liked

[wanton roost]

Crow is not that high a bar, still a good one nonetheless

[buoyant crag]

I kinda just hate everything about Sixxo's reveal and eventual death, honestly

[spice sorrel]

somehow liveryn digs a deeper hole

every damn time we see her

[reef isle]

Liveryn > Red shoes > Sixo > Crow

[wanton roost]

Sixxo is fine if you actually follow the damn story

[spice sorrel]

im honestly impressed at how deep she went

rock bottom isnt even rock bottom with her

she'll dig to the other side of the planet

[stuck wigeon]

Red Shoes is cool, even if the writers kinda bungled the big reveal during Old Tales

But I like villains that are truly irredeemable and she absolutely clears that bar

[spice sorrel]

i did find the sixo arc a bit weak personally

at least how it ended

[wanton roost]

I found Sixxo's end ironic

[reef isle]

ye

[stuck wigeon]

I agree. I feel Nikke struggles with endings in general

[spice sorrel]

it's not like it even is her end

[buoyant crag]

Bro you CANNOT put Red Shoes higher than Liveryn, I'm sorry

[reef isle]

I know red shoes caused corruption

[wanton roost]

I don't image that tablet is surviving in any meaningful way

[reef isle]

buuuuut

[buoyant crag]

WHICH IS INFINTELY WORSE

[cedar panther]

If red shoes didn’t have Z cup tits nobody would remember a single thing about her

[spice sorrel]

im still on the fence with red shoes tbh

[buoyant crag]

I'm sorry, but like...
Liveryn was a desperate person in a shit fuck situation.

[spice sorrel]

like as much as i hate her

[reef isle]

not really.

[spice sorrel]

i got to respect her game lol

[stuck wigeon]

Red Shoes is this villainous mastermind mad scientist and then she casually reveals she was the one responsible for Anachiro to a clearly distressed Cinderella over a cup of tea

[reef isle]

Liveryn was a greedy pos

[buoyant crag]

Much as she did evil things and stupid things, she wasn't doing it because she was evil

[stuck wigeon]

What the fuck was she expecting Cinderella to say

''Oh that was so cool of you actually thanks''

[buoyant crag]

Red Shoes literally made Corruption cuz she was downright fuckin' EVIL

[spice sorrel]

"That was beautiful"

red shoes is like

[buoyant crag]

She just casually corrupted her best friend to see what would happen.

[stuck wigeon]

I fuck w/ Old Tales heavy still but that part was a clear rush job because they needed to move the plot forward

[spice sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/some-men-just-want-to-watch-the-world-burn-batman-alfred-quotes-gif-14054558

[buoyant crag]

Let's also not forget that Corruption is what happens to Marian

Meaning she'd never have died

[wanton roost]

beside we still have Mirror

[spice sorrel]

im undecided on where to place her really

[wanton roost]

also Red Shoes red shoes are somehow still in play

[reef isle]

Imagine we have so much lore talks about Nikke, but fuck all with AL

[buoyant crag]

Like, Red Shoes is OBJECTIVELY Worse than Liveryn, I'm sorry

[spice sorrel]

oh no, i agree

there

[reef isle]

On the scale, yeah red shoes is infinitely worse

but

[buoyant crag]

There's a lot to discuss with AL.
It just requires reading.

Reading that none of us are gonna do

[cedar panther]

There’s a whole fuckin channel for these discussions but didn’t you get kicked out of it?

[reef isle]

no

[spice sorrel]

for me i put liveryn as

"God this bitch drives me up a wall, can she fucking die already"

[reef isle]

^

[stuck wigeon]

In the same vein as Red Shoes, I like old Mustang because he's just an unapologetic asshole. Everything for entertainment, baby. That's just showbiz. Too many villains nowadays need to be tragedywhores with shades of grey. I don't care if their mom was an alcoholic and their dad was abusive and their wife left them, just give me a good-ass villain to hate

[spice sorrel]

yeah

[wanton roost]

it doesn't help that AL's story is so disjointed and there's about 9 years of combing to do

[reef isle]

I wish the worst for liveryn and wish Asanagi fucked her up

[buoyant crag]

Just wait until Nikke gets there.

[reef isle]

[spice sorrel]

i would consider red shoes and old mustang as similar kind of villains

[buoyant crag]

[wanton roost]

thing is Nikke actually gives you a timeline and it's actually straightforward to follow

[reef isle]

^

[spice sorrel]

they're pure evil, but you cant deny they are clever in the way they do it

[buoyant crag]

Every Gacha's story will eventually fall to shit

[wanton roost]

AL is just a whole other kind of pepega

[buoyant crag]

Because you cannot keep a story going eternally

[wanton roost]

cause Sagas and Arcs don't exist

[spice sorrel]

like i have to give props to red shoes

cos as much as i want to murder her

she's doing it for the love of the game

[wanton roost]

if the world allows it it can go pretty long

[buoyant crag]

Nikke also doesn't really have the bullshit metaphysics of AL to deal with.
Most of the things in Nikke are Meant to be routed in science.

[stuck wigeon]

Mustang on his deathbed having a laugh over the fact his identity will be rewritten entirely because that's primo entertainment. That was so good. I'm giving too much credit to the writers but it kinda reminds me of Jigsaw lmao, so bought into his own beliefs that it doesn't fucking matter what happens. Entertainmento, baby

[wanton roost]

isn't AL also routed in science...

[buoyant crag]

Ehhhhhhhhhhh

[reef isle]

Heh, Entertainment

[buoyant crag]

AL uses Woo-Woo mysticism science a lot more than "These are cyborg girls with a brain"

[spice sorrel]

red shoes and old stang are someone you'd want to end with your own hands

[buoyant crag]

Granted Naked Crown is just as Woo-Woo

[reef isle]

Tbh,

They really fumbled new Rapi

[spice sorrel]

liveryn is like

"bro just let her stop already, why you digging a deeper hole everytime"

[reef isle]

but kept Anis and Neon relatively fine

[spice sorrel]

yeah

[buoyant crag]

But Al handles a lot of shit relating to Gestalt human consciousness and metaphysical abstracts like the fact the E-Cubes tap into a separate world of higher Entropy, thereby providing infinite energy.

[reef isle]

like bitch pleaaaaase

[spice sorrel]

i feel like the idea is that rapi development isnt quite complete but uh

[reef isle]

you can STOIP

[cedar panther]

They tried to inject a personality where there wasn’t one

[spice sorrel]

what else is there to do with rapi lol

[buoyant crag]

Most Nikke has is "We have 2 cores in a girl and it causes her to awaken"

[stuck wigeon]

To me the best villains in fiction are ones that lean closer to that ''I'm just evil lol'' point. Reality is often not as nuanced as people think it is, evil can absolutely be banal. Tragic backstories have a place, but nowadays they are more cliché than a moustache-twirling bastard would be

[cedar panther]

Neon and Anis already have characters

[reef isle]

Im just glad Anis is like the most likable of three

[wanton roost]

gonna be real Nikke is still more compelling than AL

[buoyant crag]

I mean that depends on how you like your stories.
I can get behind good old Skeletor just as much as more complex characters.
They just need tobe in the right story

[stuck wigeon]

Yeah, I agree with that. It's very context-dependent. I just think the tragic, monsters aren't born shtick is done to death nowadays, and most don't do it right

[buoyant crag]

Nikke does deal in much smaller conflicts, which does help keep it more compelling

[reef isle]

voiced story really helps too.

[stoic rampart]

make her actually watch.

[wanton roost]

even still AL's story is a disjointed mess which doesn't help it either

[buoyant crag]

Yeaaaaaaah

[spice sorrel]

AL makes the MCU look like an organised timeline

[reef isle]

I felt that the disjointed multi timeline bullshit

killed AL

[buoyant crag]

Lmao

Hoffen you never read it to begin with

[wanton roost]

like you can throw out the first 2 ~ 3 years of AL story and not miss a single thing

[stuck wigeon]

What AL does better than Nikke is sell the individual characters without needing to know jack shit about the story. I don't read any AL dialogue, it doesn't interest me, but the characters have clear personalities that are easy to interpret regardless

[cedar panther]

Then it was dead from the start because the sirens were always shown to be multi dimensional beings..

[spice sorrel]

so basically an indian tv drama

[wanton roost]

yup

[buoyant crag]

That was cuz they were still in a WWII thing.
They started to diverge from that year 3 I think, so yeah.

[spice sorrel]

you can go on holiday

miss an entire week on episodes

[stoic rampart]

what AL does is fucking draw 2 balloon size tits and sell skins that barely cover shit to teens

[spice sorrel]

and the story would have moved forward by 10 minutes

[reef isle]

AND THEN show that they were never the big bad

and then fumble the big bad

[cedar panther]

That’s a lot of episodes, don’t they show like 2 a day on that type of thing?

[tender basin]

So cute buy Lumi Plush Pillow.

[buoyant crag]

AL does move at a glacial ass pace, won't deny that

[spice sorrel]

no wonder they each have well over a thousand episodes

[reef isle]

and show that people never have concequeneces

[buoyant crag]

But I think the other isue is that they keep fucking rewriting the story

[spice sorrel]

usually the same one multiple times a day

[reef isle]

Speaking of.

[wanton roost]

9 years to move the fucking needle is shite, sorry to tell ya

[cedar panther]

Conkequenquencws?

[buoyant crag]

Yostar keeps changing the story and EN version changes it sometimes back to the original

[spice sorrel]

also this

[reef isle]

??

[buoyant crag]

[cedar panther]

ASSet crop?

[stuck wigeon]

The point I'm making, image or not, is that you can't honest to God make the claim that AL gets by on nothing but sex appeal when Nikke does the exact same

[buoyant crag]

Nikke does it so much harder, NGL.

[reef isle]

The point being currently Nikke sells to sex appeal, but also has a gripping story that keeps people invested

[stoic rampart]

AL is throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks

[reef isle]

^

[buoyant crag]

Didn't keep me invested.
I just kinda got tired of Nikke's story.

[cedar panther]

If it’s that gripping why did you spend like 20 minutes debating which girls he banged?

[wanton roost]

Nikke in its 3 1/2 years has managed to tell 4 complete arcs, and is on their 5th

[stoic rampart]

Oh boy time for a new event. Release 4-6 units and see what sticks and then we draw a shit ton of string bikinis on them

[reef isle]

because I didnt have the chart on hand

but now I do

[buoyant crag]

I found the more interesting things (Like the enitre Sixxo plot at first) Were skimmed on and then we spend an entire chapter jsut walking around an abandonned city while Elegg keeps putting Boom on things.

[reef isle]

well her putting boom on things ended up being a good thing

[buoyant crag]

There are definitely chapters taht I feel could be like.... cut

[stuck wigeon]

Yeah I get this. I like it, it's a nice story, but people treat it as God's greatest gift to modern storytelling and it just isn't

[reef isle]

because not only did it help find Egg and Liveryn

[buoyant crag]

It ain't.
It's pretty generic, IMO.

[reef isle]

it also hinted at more to Neon than we first thought

[buoyant crag]

Pretty easy to see where the plot is moving at times.

[stoic rampart]

everything between fragile attempting to do the suicide pact and fragile actually doing the suicide pact lol

[stuck wigeon]

Nikke also has pretty big consistency issues in how characters are depicted, particularly from event to event. The protagonist is the most egregious, but other characters aren't immune from it

[spice sorrel]

i would consider it good as far as gacha stories go

[stuck wigeon]

Yeah I agree with that

[spice sorrel]

the bar is so low otherwise

[wanton roost]

when the bar is hoyo slop it's always easy 👍

[buoyant crag]

For a Gacha story? It's good.
For an actual story? Ehhhhhhhhh

[spice sorrel]

there are times that hoyo cooks to be fair

the thing is

[buoyant crag]

Plus, most of the time you ain't playing for the riveting story

[spice sorrel]

there are so many stories

[buoyant crag]

You are playing cuz of the big tits and asses

[spice sorrel]

so inevitably there are good, bad and everything in the middle

[cedar panther]

the next chapter they do a meme story that looks like it was written by a child

[reef isle]

I mean Nikke does alot more than other gachas for the units

Where is the diverse bodytypes

hoyo

manjuu

[wanton roost]

I've stayed on playing Nikke for the story if I wanted those google is better lmao

[stoic rampart]

hoyo stories are pretty good. it's just a wild guess on which one is actually good.

[cedar panther]

They added a fat chick to AL already

[reef isle]

Manjuu dont count

[spice sorrel]

like jeht's whole saga is one of my favourites in genshin

[stoic rampart]

it's definitely not fucking amphorius

lol

[spice sorrel]

...wait didnt they just give us more jeht content

im so lazy to redownload though urgh

[wanton roost]

ZZZ really living up to the abbrivation

[stoic rampart]

it's also not the fucking aranaras

fuck the aranaras

[stuck wigeon]

this is a good pun thanks

I was racking my brain like ''what fat- ohhh''

[buoyant crag]

"Where are my diverse body types Manjuu?"
'We legit just got a few.'
"Yeah but Manjuu don't count!"

[reef isle]

??

that is not what I said

[clever hearth]

Chick

As wn

[cedar panther]

They won’t add any other body types to hoyo cos they have like 4 character models they play dress up with lol

[clever hearth]

Chicken,

[stoic rampart]

prune is literally a purple nahida lol

[spice sorrel]

pin

[buoyant crag]

Then please enlighten me as to what you said.

[spice sorrel]

that was a pun

[reef isle]

Manjuu are not playable unitsd

[spice sorrel]

[wanton roost]

Really though AL has kind of entered a hyper horny era, a lot of the older designs were a lot more subdued an more diverse than they are now

[stoic rampart]

boob slop.

[spice sorrel]

he literally mean the manjuus themselves dont count

as in

[clever hearth]

the little birds

[buoyant crag]

I mean I legit think that the new subshould have been a loli.

[cedar panther]

That level of escalation usually implies they’re reaching the endgame of milking the playerbase

[stuck wigeon]

I've used some old load screens and the artstyle diff is night and day in those too

[buoyant crag]

Or at least not designed like that.

[spice sorrel]

pin pls

[stoic rampart]

can't wait for the yearly KMS DR

[reef isle]

AL and especially Hoyo is very fucking guilty of samebody same face shit

vs Nikke

[buoyant crag]

What?
I legit think that cuz of her personality and design clashing. the fuck you want from me?

[spice sorrel]

no no

i mean how you misinterpreted hoffen so badly

[cedar panther]

Surcouf should have been the only big sub

[stoic rampart]

Gotta fucking get that yearly KMS UR quota

[cedar panther]

They just got 2 so there you go

[clever hearth]

I-400 being large also coulda worked

[stoic rampart]

2 to go

[spice sorrel]

he meant that the manjuu birds themselves dont count for other designs

[buoyant crag]

Ender I got it the first time

[clever hearth]

but like, i just kinda tune out most of AL’s design style atm

[buoyant crag]

I moved on

[reef isle]

Anywho

[buoyant crag]

But yeah, I think she should have had a different design, given how shy and reserved she seems to be

[reef isle]

Im glad we get tall women, short women, chubby women, smol, tan and choco

[stuck wigeon]

I think people are too doom n gloom about AL's future, though. There's a reason it's one of the longest-running live service gachas where other ones that were certainly 100% gonna kill it for real have come and gone. It doesn't pretend to be something it isn't, and you can hate it for that or appreciate that it's there if you still want to engage with it

[reef isle]

and so much more

[stoic rampart]

SOON MY CHARMONY CATS WILL BE COMPLETE

[stoic rampart]

yes but

sex sells.

[wanton roost]

Browndust 2 has better goon game than AL

[buoyant crag]

Until something with more sex shoes up

[reef isle]

I remember that Egg was the reason I even came back to Nikke

[stoic rampart]

yea cause you can turn out the boob slop and people will eat it up.

[reef isle]

peak

bro her summer alt...

[stoic rampart]

ONE MORE CHARMONY CAT TO GO

[clever hearth]

Me like the squishy

i gotta say, its rather bold to have chubby characters in a gacha game

[stoic rampart]

holy fuck ive been exploring people's trains for one specific cat for like an hour now

[reef isle]

Pin you forget what I do on the side, You see the same chars over and over with the same face over and over

but whenever I stumble upon nikke stuff

[stuck wigeon]

And while I think it's reductive to just go ''donplayifyoudonlikelol'', I do think after a certain point it becomes this weirdly masochistic sunk cost fallacy that lapsed AL fans engage in. It's never going to be a gritty, military-themed and modest game again (if you could ever call it that). So with that in mind, will you keep up getting permanently disappointed? Sounds like a poor way to spend your energy tbh

[reef isle]

its a small reprieve

[wanton roost]

I escaped the Hoyo ecosystem feel a fuck ton better for it

[reef isle]

^

I felt better when I first quit HI3

and after Penacony

on HSR

[stoic rampart]

sounds like hating on hoyo games but look at this entire server

[stuck wigeon]

I can't speak on other gachas. I still play the ones I started. But for me it was WoW. Hated the game for years, cut the Gordian knot, thanks for the memories

[stoic rampart]

so i will continue to keep calling it slop

[cedar panther]

The fomo model is built on people feeling guilty for leaving

But generally if they leave the motivation to return is just instantly severed

[stoic rampart]

not really much fomo when you can slap on any 12 urs and just breeze through the important stuff in the game lol

[cedar panther]

Nobody cares about actually playing the game, it’s just a collection sim

[wanton roost]

AL is uniquely a gacha where the gacha doesn't matter, and the business model is the outfits

[stuck wigeon]

I see it as a game that I've spent an insane amount of hours on, even if most of that was passive and in the background. That's realistically more than any one piece of media has any right to engage me for, so when I do eventually move on from AL I'll be happy for the memories and that'll be that

[stoic rampart]

i never buy the outfits lol

[wanton roost]

good for you

[stoic rampart]

whatever i do get is from the free gems

[wanton roost]

but that's still how AL functions

[stoic rampart]

waste of money to spend $10 on a png

[buoyant crag]

.......Make AI porn?

Not super sure what that has to do wiht anything

[stoic rampart]

unless it gives me a stat boost, like the rings

[reef isle]

tons of hoyo slopping and lazyness by hoyo riding

[buoyant crag]

Wut?

[reef isle]

I've litterally helped someone go from broke to being able to being able to buy a car

[stoic rampart]

hoyo slop is just the games that try to copy the hoyo model lol

[reef isle]

like I got backstabbe din the end

but hey

hoyo slop is the worst

[cedar panther]

Put the correct words in the AI prompter and you too can buy a car

[reef isle]

in the market

[buoyant crag]

Hoffen, bragging about teaching people how to steal from artists and scam idiots is not a thing you should do with your chest.

Just saying

[reef isle]

The point I was making is that people eat up the slop hoyo and manjuu makes with the sameface same bodytype shit like hotcakes

[stoic rampart]

should i get more Evanescia copies?

[vestal moss]

elegg is not chubby. might i recommend bready instead

[reef isle]

Elegg is on the thicker side

she says as muuch

not outright chubby tho

[buoyant crag]

Hoffen, Nikke does the same thing so please don't go "Oh this one just makes slop"

[stoic rampart]

literally every game is slop lol

[buoyant crag]

Here's a perfect example, actually

Bready is just Anis with darker hair

[clever hearth]

Hot

[buoyant crag]

Same face, same tiny hat.
Big ass boobs

She just looks like Anis

[stoic rampart]

if anis was depressed and a chronic soda addiction

[buoyant crag]

https://tenor.com/view/nikke-anis-laughing-sunglasses-gif-1643454072105361639

[cedar panther]

Anis already refers to herself as being on the larger side too

[clever hearth]

but it’s nice to see larger girls pop up

[buoyant crag]

Though I shouldn't be shocked an AI "Artist" is telling me that Nikke doesn't have same faces

[cedar panther]

Shift Up have been accused of using AI before too

[stoic rampart]

i still dont care if they use AI as long as it's not the super obvious low quality shit lol

[reef isle]

still hasnt stopped them from making the most money

during golden week

[stoic rampart]

like 2020s AI when it couldnt draw hands for shit

[reef isle]

Most people dont care if AI, if its not low quality shit these days

[buoyant crag]

Not super sure what Golden week has to do with anything here...

[vestal moss]

most people get turned off when they realize they're looking at clanker slop hoff

[stoic rampart]

but that ineffa booty tho

[cedar panther]

I’d rather not have global food and fuel prices go up just so they can generate some chubby girl

[buoyant crag]

I'd rather have drinking water than AI generated tits

[reef isle]

fuel prices are not because of AI

[stoic rampart]

oh please that stuff is gonna go up regardless lol

[reef isle]

^

[cedar panther]

It’s not solely because of it, but the industrial cooling they need because their clankers are using more power than Kenya isn’t helping

[buoyant crag]

Even if you are a shill, you HAVe to admit that AI is a waste of resources.
It eats up electricity, thus raising prices all around the area they set up in, Which requires more generation for them, damaging the environment.
And they require a shitload of fresh water to keep from overheating.
All so you can do something that a person can do with a piece of wood, some carcoal and a piece of paper

[buoyant crag]

How would we know?

[stoic rampart]

ngl i find it funny that people repeat the electricity thing more than when nfts and bitcoins were a thing lol

[buoyant crag]

Probably cuz they actually eat up more for a stupider reason

[cedar panther]

The Ai models need more power, that’s why. Bitcoins could be farmed with consumer grade equipment

[spice sorrel]

yeah there is a heat wave in a few parts of europe

[buoyant crag]

At least people can go: "NFTs? So they are like that Bitcoin thing? And you can make money?"

But with AI people already know what the fuck it is

[spice sorrel]

i know the UK is having one

[buoyant crag]

and why they DON'T want it

[stuck wigeon]

It's warm as fuck here in the Netherlands too. Was like 14 degrees last week now we're up to 33

At least you can actually purchase an early access game on a store front

[cedar panther]

JPEG? So it’s not even a ship?

[rancid saffron]

correct

its not ingame yet, it still in early development/design

[cedar panther]

Early access ship

[stoic rampart]

booooooooo

[rancid saffron]

a 5000 USD early access ship in a 1 billion alpha game

[buoyant crag]

How is that game not being investigated yet?

[buoyant crag]

It's been in pre-release for like 10 years and has taken billions of dollars

[cedar panther]

What do you investigate?

[buoyant crag]

"Where the fuck the money going?"

Like.... they claim to be making a game and already have more money than most Triple A Game studios need

[cedar panther]

The people are handing the money over willingly so it's a grey area

[buoyant crag]

I guess.... But there is still the promises of the content and such.
I guess they have more important things to deal with.

[cedar panther]

Cant call it false advertisement when you got people paying 5k for things they know don't exist

Only a few people at bungie knew that the game was being canned

So they let their staff willingly work on content they knew would never see the light of day

[buoyant crag]

I mean...

You never know if something could change

[rancid saffron]

destiny 2 went downhill the moment they split off from Blizzard and went fully back under the name of Bungie

[cedar panther]

They knew

They even admitted they knew

[buoyant crag]

What? You think Blizzard was HELPING?
Even with all the shit that was going on at that company?

[cedar panther]

They split before they even became blizzard

[stoic rampart]

is she gonna kill trash cat?

[rancid saffron]

blizzard wasnt helping but the moment they split off Bungie started making every new content update a dlc of like 30 bucks

[reef isle]

Fortnite treated overwatch better than Blizzard

wtf

We missed out on the irony of bungie running from Microsoft only to get bought back

[rancid saffron]

borderlands 3 killed the BL franchise for me

[reef isle]

not 2K or Gearbox

[rancid saffron]

and 4 took that a step further with UE5 slop

game barely looks better than 3 and no pc can properly run it now

yet Randy defended that shit with "you should just get a better pc"

[cedar panther]

3 ran remarkably shit when it came out too

People just forgot

[rancid saffron]

[reef isle]

no lol

[buoyant crag]

Did anyone like them?

[reef isle]

and the fact that maya got killed

because of that dumbass stupid kid

[cedar panther]

Adding a story beyond random text boxes was a mistake

Makes them really tedious to replay

[reef isle]

BL2 story was decent

for the time.

the humor is outdated, but

[rancid saffron]

i could easily play BL2 again because i can vibe with Handsome Jack

but 3 makes me want to shoot myself

[buoyant crag]

3 is only good once all the story is over and you don't have to listen to them again

dont really know anything about 4, just that it runs like ass

[cedar panther]

The dlc usually feels horrendously unbalanced because it doesn't scale well to your level

[buoyant crag]

Honestly It's just cuz I find that once everyone is dead that they shut the fuck up and I can actually enjoy the solid gunplay without the twins being annoying

[buoyant crag]

BL3s gunplay is good, I won't deny that. Just that the story really doesn't do it any favors

[reef isle]

Steam is acutally bullshitting me

compared to EGS

wym EGS has BL2 that has all dlc's aside from lilith thing

in one sale

vs you have to rebuy all dlc's on steam

@rancid saffron HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE CHARMONY CAT

he absorbs 1, he absorbs all the off field buffs too?

i like how every 4 star is e6, except him somehow.

To my understanding

He gets whatever buffs Acheron would here

And if Acheron is off field he gets all the buffs still

i thought galaxy ranger was just

The 3 worst-performing Qs were all preceded by underwhelming collaborations🙃

SU admitted THE FIRST Evangelion collab was disappointing, so imagine how it feels seeing the 2nd Eva collab and Lycoris Recoil perform even worse..😅

X · May 26, 2026, 7:27 AM

JUST STOP COLLABING

[lapis goblet]

this is probably because the Lycoris collab had absolute shit units

the eva collab units were only kinda serviceable but ultimately not worth actually using

[stuck wigeon]

Id rather collab units be dogshit for gameplay and just there for fans and collectors

Shit like wAsuka being insanely strong for wind-weak co-op is really annoying

[lapis goblet]

the eva collab units werent exactly bad

its just there's already units that kinda did the same jobs already

[stuck wigeon]

Issue is that collabs basically never come back. This SB rerun is a very rare exception

And then them being strong means youre just perma hamstringed if you didnt play or pull back then

So Id rather they are intentionally subpar. Fans of the source media will pull anyways

[lapis goblet]

you have edge cases like:

absolute PvP unit

[stuck wigeon]

wAsuka too

And Raven is a strong iron beater as well, which is a code that lacks great options barring Red Hood

just collab with fanservice-laden IPs like Senran Kagura,High School DxD or Chained Soldier

[stuck wigeon]

Id rather the collab unit be an acceptable replacement for a meta unit than vice versa, basically

[earnest stone]

instead of shit like Kimetsu no Yaiba,Oshi no Ko,S#l# L#velling,Dandadan or TEKKEN
coming from a fanservice-laden game

[lapis goblet]

also the oddity of collabs having relatively low revenue

also boils down to when they schedule them

very close to anni events

its even more brutal for the re:zero collab btw

[tender basin]

Finally.

Isn't takina strong actually

Best true dmg buffer

[lapis goblet]

the problem is, there isnt too many true damage DPS

[spice sorrel]

The only good ones are like

Ada?

And Vesti OS

But you also have to consider, there's better B2 options

Aka. Crown, Nayuta, Naga, Maid Mast + Anchor
