[dense wing]

it is to p much everyone

you can

its called a historicist

[verbal obsidian]

ew gross

[ornate mantle]

It’s called a Marine Engineer actually.

Build more botes to turn into boat girls eventually.

[dense wing]

whats wrong with a historicist?!

[warm bluff]

that reminds me of some old meme about being turned into a shipgirl if you join the navy lol

[dense wing]

lmaooo

my bf is a historicist but without the degree

[ornate mantle]

By that...

Are you talking being a “Historian”?

Rather than “historicist”.

[dense wing]

ive heard its both

[ornate mantle]

I see.

It’s the first time I’ve heard historicist, lol.

[dense wing]

and by instinct I say the latter than the former

really

[ornate mantle]

Yeah.

[dense wing]

I was told its fine to say it the way I do because its the same meaning but I cant test the integrity of that

[ornate mantle]

It’s a practice that makes sense of events in the passed by relating them to conditions in time, and geography.

[dense wing]

significant meaning in something in the past

I guess it makes more sense to use historian

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, historians specialize in various areas.

[warm bluff]

that sounds like some astrology crap lol

[dense wing]

I will have to change my ways with that one then

[ornate mantle]

Isn’t astrology just a subset of environmental science.

Not talking about the mysticism version.

Where you tell people shit based on how the stars are positions.

[dense wing]

yes

[tough burrow]

[ornate mantle]

Sorry, not EnvSci

Physics.

[warm bluff]

it's not a science though, it's more of a superstition

[tough burrow]

sure that's al related?

[dense wing]

a historian is

[ornate mantle]

LOL

[tough burrow]

nice save

[dense wing]

using the northern star, most likely

[warm bluff]

bote girls use astronomy!

[ornate mantle]

I’m n the past yes.

Goddamn mobile typing is ass

[dense wing]

psure they did use the northern star as a guide at some point

very very very long ago

for ships

when they got lost

[ornate mantle]

Where is the canoe ship girl.

[warm bluff]

canoe ship girl? she'll be more loli than mutsuki D:

[dense wing]

dont think canoes were used in ww2

[ornate mantle]

I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

[dense wing]

would go down within a second of the battle sea

militarize canoes

[ornate mantle]

There was an AL anthology chapter where Yuudachi Ayayaya and YKKZ

We’re wearing Oni clothing.

I’d like those to be skins.

[verbal obsidian]

[dense wing]

its the face I make when im tired and disgusted of doing a certain task I hate but have to do for school, and have been doing for an excessive amount of time

[ornate mantle]

I just destress with boat girl Lewd collecting.

Just finished collecting all the Belfast Qipao Lewds.

[dense wing]

pervert

[ornate mantle]

[dense wing]

my phone is my image storage lol

you can imagine how much I struggled with having a 16gb phone in the past

the inability to have over 3k photos of art was really sad

photography didnt matter because I would just carry my camera around if I wanted to

256gb

with 0 lewds

if anything is remotely unmodest though or unsavory I usually crop it

unmodest meaning the weirdest choice of clothing that doesnt do much to hide anything

a little bit of that with al art but uncommon

[warm bluff]

i'm too paranoid to save lewds on my devices

[dense wing]

im too paranoid of seeming like a pervert

ahh wow less than 100

I have 8k

unkept though

if I went through it and deleted things I didnt want/irrelevant items it'd most likely go down around 1.5k

haha

a lot of my photos are like

150 cg photos from al

and maybe another 50 from gfl

ahh LOL same

I have photos like that too saved

and after like 3 weeks im like

"I guess its ok to delete that now"

especially azur lane screesnhots

ahh

I had to go back and recover all of mine

bc I had "lost" my account

but they told me I bound it to fb and I was like oh ok thought I bound it to twitter

ahh yeah

I dont have any for that game either since its less afk than al

and im busy all the time nowadays

[verbal obsidian]

me like lewds

[verbal obsidian]

so quiet

[ornate mantle]

I recently started GFL as a side game to my boat lovers.

[tough burrow]

#off-topic

[verbal obsidian]

that was the straw that broke the camel’s back azu

[ornate mantle]

It always is.

[tough burrow]

I'm a bit more lenient to casual chatter (although I did told you to stop before, so I am absolutely allowed to warn you all ), but not when this general chatter is about different game that absolutely should be in #off-topic

[dense wing]

well, he did add “side game to my boat lovers”

[ornate mantle]

Qq: can we post art here that’s AL related as long as it’s within server/Discord guidelines (meaning minimum Lewd)

[dense wing]

#al-art

probably

maybe if its related to the discussion like “ive been using cassin lately”
blah blah
cassin art

or her design?

[tough burrow]

you can as long as it's in sensible amount and not just spam @ornate mantle

[ornate mantle]

In my exploration for Ibuki lewds.

I found this and it took my breathe away.

@last kiln : oh boy all the i-13 lewds I have, OH BOY.

I’m gonna Clear my phone of useless shit to make room for more AL lewds.

Also this one.

Goddamn I love Ibuki.

There we go

I love everything about this pic.

There are a surprisingly few number of Ibuki fanarts on danbooru.

Gonna scout out pixiv in about 30 min.

Really? They seem fine to me tbh. They really wanted the person looking to see that side boob and show off how big her breasts are.

Also.

What gets me most.

Is that eye shine.

Ughhahahahahahaha

[dense wing]

large breasted anime women bother me

you mean any large breasted anime lady?

gravity doesnt treat them well

so theyre going to look strange at all times

especially anime since a lot of the time AL ships are

extremely huge...

[stuck copper]

Not gonna lie rand but

That sounds incredibly dodgy

[tough burrow]

no you can't

[ornate mantle]

Of course he can.

I love Ibukis bounciness.

Degeneracy is the internet itself. Discord is a highly concentrated den of degeneracy too. In fact, it is molded by degeneracy. Shaped by it like clay.

[tough burrow]

it's good and all, but discord doesn't care

[ornate mantle]

@last kiln : It’s the angle, both breasts look about the same size.

God, just finding this art really makes me want to get started ASAP on Ibuki.

Oh yeah, Belfast is definitely lewdwd through the roof!

I especially love her Qipao skins.

Art

[tough burrow]

I am actually serious at this point, stop

[ornate mantle]

Yeah that came kinda out of left field.

[tough burrow]

nsfw discussions are not allowed, that includes discussions about nsfw content

[toxic scroll]

There seems to be a thing

With people thinking that it's ok to discuss obviously not allowed content

Just because it's about Azur lane

It's happened in here a lot actually

[dense wing]

yeah..

[stuck copper]

And they threw Mini Zeppy into event

RIP my cubes

[verbal obsidian]

i always miss the juicy stuff

[dense wing]

theres a smaller version of zeppy?

[toxic scroll]

i like lolis just as much as the next reasonable guy and all, but this is too much

yeah

[verbal obsidian]

Its always aran and azu

my best friends

[dense wing]

missing that juicy stuff is a ticket for a warning

[dense wing]

@toxic scroll would I be a reasonable guy if the reason I like them is because I love children (from a mother standpoint?)

[toxic scroll]

i mean that's fine

[dense wing]

[verbal obsidian]

[toxic scroll]

i'm debating removing the "Cheating on AL with GBF" from my name

i mean it's still true though

[dense wing]

I dont see whats wrong with it being ewmoved

[toxic scroll]

i mean really people see it and know it's time to stop talking

is how i feel lmao

[dense wing]

I didnt notice

but I also just woke up from a nap and my head feels pretty fuzzy so lol

[toxic scroll]

notice what

[dense wing]

the part of your name

[toxic scroll]

the old one

or the new one

[dense wing]

old

[toxic scroll]

i'm not in here as often anymore

[dense wing]

its not good to be ignored

[toxic scroll]

kinda busy

[dense wing]

ah

[toxic scroll]

college and all

[dense wing]

I am busy as well

yeah..

good luck

im still a regular hs student but all my free time is gone as well

[toxic scroll]

I'll trade you

[dense wing]

im not ready for college

no pls

to play AL

I’d hide my phone in my backpack or someth

and tap it every few minutes

kinda destroyed my battery if I used my phone at all

[lament flower]

Rip

[crisp palm]

you can buy a portable charger if you want

[toxic scroll]

i use a car charger

for when i cry in my car between classes

but seriously, i keep a car charger in my car and a charger with me in my backpack at all times

[crisp palm]

depend on how much you use your phone

i only use my phone as a phone

and to do AL commission so not much a problem with battery

[toxic scroll]

not very much honestly

when i do play AL

it's probably on my PC

[crisp palm]

same

[toxic scroll]

when i use my phone, it's just comms and dorm

speaking of which

huh

weird

usually it's 40k+

[dense wing]

portable charger
I was given an expensive one and I cant find it and im scared to even bring it up

[crisp palm]

well you can just test it on any thing that you not using

[toxic scroll]

no like

they can't find it

lost

gone

[crisp palm]

oh

gg then

[toxic scroll]

oh hey

i can collect Mutsu

[dense wing]

collect!!

[toxic scroll]

i've only collected

10060 tokens

or w/e they're called

i'm bum rushing hardmode rn

[crisp palm]

just call it point

[toxic scroll]

tokens it is

[dense wing]

I think of ||gfl|| tokens with that

[toxic scroll]

don't play gfl

AL and GBF

are my games

i mean and OSRS

but that's not the same kind of game

[crisp palm]

the ppl who play KC AL FGO and GFL all together are a special breed of human

i am not M enough to play even 2

[toxic scroll]

those are the people we call

"live in their mothers basements and have no job"

people

[crisp palm]

[dense wing]

if they 🐳

[toxic scroll]

so

live in their mothers basement

don't have a job

spend their parents money

got it

👍

i mean don't get me wrong

i've spent my share of money of AL and GBF

but i have a job

and get paid weekly

guys how do i equip Ashigara

i forgot

[stuck copper]

One way or another, they will drain our cubes

I thought I might earn some respite after ISSS

[toxic scroll]

as much as i won't want to roll for lil graf

if i'm still playing

when we get her

i still will for the sake of getting all the ships

[dense wing]

I just want zeppy so far

[crisp palm]

isn't it just the usual shit for any CA?

[toxic scroll]

dude, the last time i actually played

was before ISSS

[crisp palm]

203 mounted any gold torp (exclude gold quint mag) bofors gold SG radar + camo / rudder

[stuck copper]

soon we will get Hiei-chan way before we can get her adult version

[toxic scroll]

can we please stop with the loli ships

we have enough

[stuck copper]

ask Devs

and ask devs to slow down the pace

I personally didn't agree with this

[toxic scroll]

if they even gave me the time of day

i'd be able to buy a lotto ticket and win the powerball

[stuck copper]

you know that's impossible

the current pace is the compromise between two factions, who want to slow down and want to speed things up

[crisp palm]

and then when we finally catch up to JP ppl going to whine "where is new content?"

LMFAO

ppl are dumb

[dense wing]

thats what I said lol

actually no you said something close

theyre still getting new content but

events not so much

[toxic scroll]

speaking of events

[crisp palm]

atm JP just having rerun after rerun

[toxic scroll]

pls let the kizuna ai event be AFK as F

[dense wing]

yeah I know lol

[crisp palm]

the only new "content" is PR 2

[dense wing]

I play jp

just a large break is all..

[stuck copper]

all I need is a break of two weeks

[crisp palm]

and that exact shit going to happen to EN "soon"

[stuck copper]

that's all I asked

[crisp palm]

sometimes i wonder if ppl are born dumb or they have brain damage along the way

0 IQ

[wintry sonnet]

I'm still worried as fuck that we've got double limited pool coming to us, but I'm still hopeful the JP twitter was just being "yostar pls" and posted just one way of getting Zepp

[stuck copper]

people are people, the final say lies with devs

[wintry sonnet]

when she's basically same as Ryuujou, aka you can roll for her but she's also a point reward

[stuck copper]

and they are way too lenient

[wintry sonnet]

if we gotta do 2 separate build pools, then I'm gonna REEEEEEEE like a PC Baby hearing someone in a supermarket asking about the oriental food aisle

[crisp palm]

[stuck copper]

we will get Hiei-chan soon

way before her real form

[crisp palm]

i am more interesting in iris tbh

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, Hiei's the other reason why I suspect it will in fact be two build pools

[stuck copper]

New Year's build pool is terrible

[crisp palm]

to see how many 100k point in event rank

[wintry sonnet]

it seems unlikely to me they'd give away both for free, one of them you most likely gonna have to roll for

[crisp palm]

since that is where most if not all ppl going to dump all their oil in

[stuck copper]

we can have Belchan through grinding

but I didn't know about Zeppy and Hiei-chan

[wintry sonnet]

we would've had her through grinding regardless

and I wouldn't even mind Zepp and Hiei being build-only

if it werent for the collab

I dont like this whole "Let's run multiple events at once" business

if it's just grind fiestas without any gacha, fair game

[stuck copper]

some times, I want to believe that Yostar/Manjuu/Yongshi is becoming even more unreasonable than Wargaming doing with CV rework

[wintry sonnet]

like that Saratoga skin event

or the Astoria one

where you could just do your shit outside the event and still get it all

[stuck copper]

yep, Sara and Astoria is nice

[dense wing]

saratoga got another skin

I love her and all but

the skin looks really bad

on her

[stuck copper]

Kizuna Saratoga?

[dense wing]

I think the kizuna ai outfit could have gone to someone else

[wintry sonnet]

I dont mind the skin, I just already spent on her swimsuit

and tbh the last skin we got from the mini event is better

so I'm staying with that

honestly I dont even know why I bought that swimsuit skin

[stuck copper]

so in conclusion, there is this scenario: we need to BUILD 4 ships: two Kizunas, Zeppy and Hiei-chan

[wintry sonnet]

I guess it was just the case of we only got like 5 to choose from

[toxic scroll]

i mean

who else

sandy?

for the kizuna ai skin

[wintry sonnet]

Long Island'd be an obvious choice

[dense wing]

[wintry sonnet]

because gamer

[stuck copper]

Kizuna's boobs isn't big, it might fit someone else better

[wintry sonnet]

Ayanami too

but fuck another skin for aya

[toxic scroll]

long island is the complete opposite kind of girl

[dense wing]

I just think saru could have done a better job at the skin lol

[toxic scroll]

from Kizuna ai

[stuck copper]

Lexington is hot, and she is Saru's

[toxic scroll]

i get that aya has too many skins and all

[dense wing]

her art style seems to have shifted again from the time of the hanbok

[toxic scroll]

but i'd rather see a aya skin than another cygnet skin

[wintry sonnet]

I mean fair, but you're talking personality traits

I'm talking in terms of gamer girl

[toxic scroll]

lex has the personality of a rock unfortunately

i mean gamer yeah

[wintry sonnet]

a rock star

ftfy

[toxic scroll]

definitely

[stuck copper]

no voice for her Qipao skin

[toxic scroll]

good

[stuck copper]

either way, I am getting some brain damage

the next clusterfuck might be a bit too much

[toxic scroll]

but speaking of saratoga skins though

no skin is gonna beat the one we just got

her retro is a very close second

[wintry sonnet]

I wanna think they wouldn't "apologise" to us for delayed PR by throwing a multiple limited build pools at us

I really do

but I have said it before

I have trust issues after hatsushimo

[toxic scroll]

expect the worst

so when it isn't the worst

you're pleasantly surprised

[crisp palm]

the only company deserving of any trust is project red

[wintry sonnet]

that's my general rule of life

[stuck copper]

@wintry sonnet: luckily for us, they didn't let Mikasa event run along with ISSS

[wintry sonnet]

assume the worst, if you're right then you can brag "told ya so"

if you're wrong, you can say you're pleasantly surprised

[toxic scroll]

you're either right

or pleasantly surprised

[wintry sonnet]

exactly

[stuck copper]

yeah but........ the worst i could assume is the company goes belly up and the game closes permanently

or which means: don't have high hope, or you will fall high

[crisp palm]

just don't give a shit and go with the flow

[stuck copper]

dying is sometimes not the worst, it releases you from pain and suffering

[wintry sonnet]

I dont think that'd be enough to rek the global version, if they were to do multiple limited pools, but it'll certainly discourage a few people

[crisp palm]

the more you give a fuck about something the more you going to give once it fail

[wintry sonnet]

I mean we already have people quitting because they can't keep up with the cube spamming tempo

[toxic scroll]

i don't care if they do multiple limited

bump the rate up

if they're doing a lot in a short time

[stuck copper]

well by that i mean it'd be silly for me to constantly "expect the worst"

[wintry sonnet]

I had to basically grind away 7-8 hours a day just to get from 0 to 100 cubes in 10 days

[stuck copper]

I think Urusai quitted because he couldn't keep up, or something else?

[wintry sonnet]

trying to snipe every possible cube commission

[toxic scroll]

ha

yeah right

you wish that's why i would quit

[wintry sonnet]

Zuyi stopped playing for a bit after VDIR

cause he couldn't get Mogami and Yukikaze

[stuck copper]

no, I just wonder why you quitted, you are prioritizing on GBF now

[toxic scroll]

i barely play either

[wintry sonnet]

I had a huge block during VDIR to the point I was missing out on hard mode runs cause I couldn't be bothered to even do more than just daily challenge

couldn't be assed to swap my equipments

[toxic scroll]

it's a mental game

[crisp palm]

tbh if ppl can't handle AL rate then it is best that they don't play any gacha game

[toxic scroll]

is all

[crisp palm]

since as far as gacha game this game is already generous enough

[stuck copper]

@crisp palm: gacha is still very much RNG, if the game chooses you to suffer then you suffer

[crisp palm]

i know but compare to the market as a whole

[wintry sonnet]

The thing is, AL's gacha system is good, not without faults, but compared to alot of other gachas it's not as poisonous

[crisp palm]

it is like heaven and earth

[toxic scroll]

look at this

[wintry sonnet]

the gacha itself tho's not the issue here

[stuck copper]

I don't believe in any "rate" at all

[toxic scroll]

kawa is a lower rate up than nagato rn right

by .2%

[wintry sonnet]

it's the rate of how many limited gachas they're pumping out in a show time span

[toxic scroll]

but that's a lot tbh

i got 1 nagato, and 4 kawa

in my builds

[crisp palm]

yes the issue is that they introduce many event at a time

[stuck copper]

the problem is... the ship we want might not be in SSR list

like Mogami, she is just elite

[crisp palm]

but that problem comes from the group who want to "speed up / catch up" to JP correct?

[wintry sonnet]

Honestly i dont understand why this incessant obsession with having 1 week break every big event

[toxic scroll]

they can't please everyone

[wintry sonnet]

when you can plug a 2 week hole no problem with the mini events

[toxic scroll]

i believe the genuinely try to make the best decision

[wintry sonnet]

and still give people enough time to catch a breath

[stuck copper]

I don't know Aquan

[toxic scroll]

but they just mess up sometimes

[crisp palm]

i understand but the problem is not in the devs

but rather in the player base

[wintry sonnet]

I think the issue is they're judging the global based on how the asian market does it

[crisp palm]

who want to speed up / catch up to JP

[stuck copper]

EN is pale compared to JP and CN

[crisp palm]

so this is the result

[wintry sonnet]

which is a huge error, it's like comparing water to oil

I mean look at the whole point systme in events

even Avrora, the OG tryhard server

at most 20 people go past 100k

it's not even close to JP/CN

[stuck copper]

are we really tryharders? 🤔

[crisp palm]

how much does they spam in there?

200k?

[wintry sonnet]

they're solemnly misjudging how hardcore the playerbase is

[crisp palm]

i saw 1 with that score

a full page of baga

[wintry sonnet]

I think it was that usual guy

lvl 115 or sth

and I say guy even tho I'm almost certain at this point it's multiple dudes

[crisp palm]

i was talking about JP CN

not EN

[wintry sonnet]

ah

you'd have to ask Evil or someone who plays JP

[crisp palm]

how much point does top 100 have?

[wintry sonnet]

Rime actually might know

since he's a tryhard expert

[crisp palm]

lel

[wintry sonnet]

[toxic scroll]

ok

what happened to Rei

[stuck copper]

funny thing is... I see some EN staffs in Discord not agreeing with this pace

[toxic scroll]

does he even play AL anymore

i know he isn't in here anymore

[wintry sonnet]

somethign something must leave server to come back more salty

[toxic scroll]

but like

does he still even play AL

[wintry sonnet]

It's Rei, don't question it

not even he knows

[toxic scroll]

i mean i'm not

the less rei the better

[stuck copper]

I think he might still be

[toxic scroll]

imo

i mean i'm sure the same is thought about me

so

[wintry sonnet]

actually did I have him on my list

[stuck copper]

maybe he failed some ships on VDiR

[wintry sonnet]

eh

[stuck copper]

or before that?

[wintry sonnet]

I have Reininator on my friend list in AL

dont think that's the same guy

[stuck copper]

Rei Ryghts is his IGN I believe

[wintry sonnet]

ok

I see Harutsuki as secretary

so I guess he does play

[toxic scroll]

is she the monthly login ship

?

for april

[stuck copper]

April is Wakaba

[wintry sonnet]

no, she's the akizuki class from construction

for this event

[toxic scroll]

wakaba, or whoever she is

i still haven't gotten her

[wintry sonnet]

oof

you missed out on login?

did you have an account problem cause of this whole Yostar account or what

[toxic scroll]

nah

just forgetting to play

that's all

[wintry sonnet]

well, on the bright side

you can still get the 9 cubes

[toxic scroll]

jeez

4 days

dang

well that's 4 days minus the time i started playing AL

[crisp palm]

you only miss like 2 days

[toxic scroll]

idk where we're even at

on monthly login

[toxic scroll]

that's not bad then

[crisp palm]

and yes i am at 100% day played

[toxic scroll]

i've only missed 2 days since i started

so not too bad

i guess

[wintry sonnet]

so you only miss out on 2 purple equips

and 350 oil

[toxic scroll]

or a gold crane

lmao

[crisp palm]

2 gold cranes

[wintry sonnet]

optimistic aren't we

[crisp palm]

not 1 but 2

[toxic scroll]

man

i opened a T5 box one

gold crane

[wintry sonnet]

I unironically would be so happy

[crisp palm]

rip

[wintry sonnet]

to get a gold crane

I need purple gen plates like I have a report to file for tomorrow morning

[toxic scroll]

i need

i don't know honestly

[wintry sonnet]

instead it's always fkin planes

[crisp palm]

[wintry sonnet]

I lost count of how many seafangs, zeros and hellcats I scrapped already

[crisp palm]

should have step up your 7-2 grind game

[wintry sonnet]

can't

1, event, 2 I still got Agano to liberate

[wintry sonnet]

[toxic scroll]

i got plenty more oil to burn bois

[wintry sonnet]

there's no time to be procrastinating in 7-2

[toxic scroll]

i hit the hardcap

during the beginning of ISSS

[wintry sonnet]

I made like 8k points yesterday

because I fucked up

I thought the shop oil's only 5k

it was 10k

so I had to burn away my excess

[crisp palm]

[wintry sonnet]

but I kept getting high oil commissions

[crisp palm]

feed it to laffey

[toxic scroll]

oh speaking of

you reminded me to buy kongou

[crisp palm]

lel

[torn sorrel]

8 SSRs

no Nagato

[wintry sonnet]

I still got Ooshio to buy

[torn sorrel]

[wintry sonnet]

but I cba to make 2k points just to get a medal

[toxic scroll]

well

[wintry sonnet]

cause I got 5 just grinding

[toxic scroll]

i guess i'm done guys

fun event

[crisp palm]

[wintry sonnet]

didnt they do like a bugfix patch recently

which incidentally, fuking name still offscreen on results

[toxic scroll]

[wintry sonnet]

how does it take you a month to recenter the username

[toxic scroll]

?

[crisp palm]

cus they don't care?

[wintry sonnet]

doesnt even make sense to leave such obvious bugs out in the open

[toxic scroll]

sometimes fixing a bug just makes more buhs

bugs

[wintry sonnet]

you leave holes in the roof, sooner or later people'll start looking under the floorboards for fungus

[toxic scroll]

man i don't know

i'm too casual anymore to care

being completely honest

[crisp palm]

if being a gamer for about 15+ years have taught me anything is that most company only fix bug that are game breaking

[stuck copper]

i've always been casual

[wintry sonnet]

unless their name starts with B and ends with ethesda

[toxic scroll]

"it's a feature"

[crisp palm]

[toxic scroll]

"it just works"

[crisp palm]

it is intended

[wintry sonnet]

Rerelease Skyrim for the 13th time

still have bugs from the original version

👌

[toxic scroll]

i mean remember

look at the shitty engine it's using

lmao

[crisp palm]

hey it is not a bug if it is intended as a game feature lel

[vital edge]

Same bugs that was in Morrowind

and adding more bugs on top of that

you get Skyrim

[crisp palm]

also i bet $1k that red fall going to be using the same shitty engine

any taker?

[toxic scroll]

well duh

[vital edge]

That's not a gamble anymore

[wintry sonnet]

Im just waiting for another loive service multiplayer clusterfuck

[toxic scroll]

we're a little far from AL now

[vital edge]

We'll go back to it soon enough

[wintry sonnet]

I mean AL is a loive service too

which still annoys me

[vital edge]

for now, let's appreciate how despite all the recent flaws Azur Lane still has a functioning game engine

Creation Engine doesn't even function properly and Bethesda refuses to fix anything

[crisp palm]

cheers to that

[wintry sonnet]

I mean sure, the gameplay and the engine are good and all

but you still need a workign steering wheel

unless your destination is a tree

[vital edge]

Steering wheel?

[toxic scroll]

you mean the Gamebryo engine lmao

[vital edge]

Bethesda devs are on a one way road to hell

[wintry sonnet]

was talking more AL right now

[vital edge]

Ah

[wintry sonnet]

just poking at the whole possible double construction limited bonanza

[toxic scroll]

yeah that's

idk

if they're going to do that

[vital edge]

in that case, it's less of a steering wheel and more of the devs actually checking where they're going

[toxic scroll]

they need to bump the rate ups higher

[vital edge]

we're blindly going from one event to another with multiple maintenances immediately after every update

[wintry sonnet]

It's not even the rate ups for me, rather it's that after a big event like Nagato or VDIR or Crimson Echoes or whatever you may, I have an expectation of being left alone for a week

and not being bothered to go into construction spams

even less to be forced into doing two at once

[toxic scroll]

i mean

kizuna starts what

[vital edge]

and checked google

[toxic scroll]

right after ISSS

[vital edge]

gamebryo is the old engine

[wintry sonnet]

it's likely both will start on 26th at this rate

[toxic scroll]

@vital edge creation is based off gamebryo

[vital edge]

Creation Engine is the latest engine with the same exact problems but a different name

[wintry sonnet]

Going by how 26th is also belette

[vital edge]

yeah

[toxic scroll]

wasn't little bel

[wintry sonnet]

it'd make sense for Zeppy and Hiei to show up with her

[stuck copper]

Little Bel I assume

[toxic scroll]

introduced in the maid battle royale

or w/e

[vital edge]

If I get Belchan, I'll stop trying for collection

[wintry sonnet]

honestly I dont know what the idea was behind the whole loli bel

[stuck copper]

fetish

[wintry sonnet]

I just know it exists

[toxic scroll]

or any of the loli version of normal ships

honestly

[vital edge]

What idea do you need for a loli oneesan other than I want her but as a little girl?

and Belchan is Belfast before her restoration

so yeah

[wintry sonnet]

I mean zepp and hiei as lolis are fine and all, even tho both are far superior in their OG version

[vital edge]

Loli hiei

[wintry sonnet]

but if we gonna lolify ships can't we go with Tootsie roll

[toxic scroll]

wait

hold on

really?

[elfin crown]

hol up

[vital edge]

Okay, this is going in a direction I don't like

[toxic scroll]

f***** really

[stuck copper]

wtf?

[vital edge]

Can the devs not.

[wintry sonnet]

t's not devs

[stuck copper]

again?

[wintry sonnet]

it's an old image

[vital edge]

I know

[wintry sonnet]

done by Oouso

[toxic scroll]

pls let it never touch the AL servers

[vital edge]

but we don't need loli versions of everything

[wintry sonnet]

I mean...

[vital edge]

I hope the devs don't

[toxic scroll]

just think

[wintry sonnet]

it's not like we'll get anything else shoukaku related

[vital edge]

okay

[toxic scroll]

instead of a SKK skin

[stuck copper]

what is wrong with those people and their fetish?

[toxic scroll]

you get

that

thing

[vital edge]

you've given me unwanted assurance...

[torn sorrel]

What the hell are they doing

[wintry sonnet]

I'd be ok with that but that's because I adore Oouso

[torn sorrel]

Please tell me that isn't a little Shoukaku

[vital edge]

we're more likely to get that than a crane skin

[wintry sonnet]

pretty much

[toxic scroll]

give me a f* loli Mutsuki before that

[vital edge]

umm

[toxic scroll]

an even more loli mutsuki

[wintry sonnet]

I think that exists already

it's called Mutsuki

[vital edge]

How loli is loli loli

[toxic scroll]

not loli enough

i think it's toddler at that point

[stuck copper]

I don't need anymore loli, other than Hiei

[vital edge]

Do you want her preconstructed state?

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, I'm gonna eject myself, this bus is heading straight down the cliff

[toxic scroll]

it is

[vital edge]

yep

[toxic scroll]

but i'd rather that

[vital edge]

too late

[toxic scroll]

than that SKK disaster

[wintry sonnet]

tbh I find this more appealing than loli Hiei

Zeppy has some charm to her but Hiei is just...

[toxic scroll]

i mean

[stuck copper]

Zeppy is like a pouting kid

[toxic scroll]

loli Hiei

could be the gunnary training ship version

lmao

[stuck copper]

and Hiei is a Kensei but with oversized nodachi

[wintry sonnet]

god fucking damnit Clyde

Like, you can't take that and turn it into loli

[toxic scroll]

well they did

[wintry sonnet]

there's already a level of expectations

[toxic scroll]

and we can't do anything about it

we might as well get an "ara ara" nagato next

[wintry sonnet]

also

if we gonna take mature girls and turn them into loli

then I demand we take lolis and turn them into mature girls

enough of this one-way highway bullshit

I DEMAND EQUALITY

[toxic scroll]

i mean they turned long island into a 13/10 snack

[wintry sonnet]

You gonna throw loli BBs at us, give us a mom DD

[toxic scroll]

i mean mullany is close enough

[wintry sonnet]

you wanna lolify ships, turn kids into moms

[toxic scroll]

right?

[wintry sonnet]

She's the missing link

but we're still missing the final outcome

Grenville and Mullanny are just proto-adult DDs

I need a final product

Basically I want something like Azuma

but as a DD

[stuck copper]

Any DD that can live long enough after WW2 will have bewbs

at least

[wintry sonnet]

I mean Kamikaze-class are old, but they still made them into lolibabas

[toxic scroll]

well

Ooshio

is up there

with mullany and grenville

[wintry sonnet]

eh, I don't know...

I mean, ooshio definitely ranks high on maturity scale

[toxic scroll]

def, above average

[wintry sonnet]

but I dont think I'd consider her to be quite on the adult level

[toxic scroll]

Z35 is kinda up there

not adult

but also above average

z23 is def up there

i meant 35 at first

but both work

[wintry sonnet]

ok I got a good comparison

what I look for in DD

is to have someone who's like who Surcouf is to Submarines

[toxic scroll]

what about yuudachi

where's she at

and/or shigure

[wintry sonnet]

you know how all the submarines aside of U-47 perhaps are all effectively loli

[toxic scroll]

no

[wintry sonnet]

except Surcouf who's clearly an adult

[toxic scroll]

lmao

[wintry sonnet]

that's the kind of DD I want

[dim crystal]

another aya skin

why am i not surprised

[toxic scroll]

all starters get a skin

fym

[wintry sonnet]

Long Island didnt get one

[toxic scroll]

you don't choose her

she's forced upon you

[wintry sonnet]

but you do start with her

[dim crystal]

repulse

[toxic scroll]

against your will

also against your will

[wintry sonnet]

oh yea Repulse is also thrown at you

it's the first construct that's rando

[dim crystal]

ayaya is like the charizard of starters

[wintry sonnet]

that'd make Nimi a Pikachu

[dim crystal]

whos nimi?

[wintry sonnet]

cause she's the 4th choice you gotta play a different version to start with

[dim crystal]

there are only 3 starters

[wintry sonnet]

if you wanna play that game, then Aya's not a starter

this is AL EN, take your weeb roster back to JP

[dim crystal]

the pikachu would be laffey

the most popular i think

[stuck copper]

it is not often to see starter ships or crutch characters to keep on with end game like 4 starters

[wintry sonnet]

not that I'm a massive Aya fan but I'm pretty sure she's the top popular ship among JP starters

Laffey would propably be an I dunno

Bulbasaur?

I dont remeber which starter was least popular

[dim crystal]

no nimi is bulbasaur

no one ever pick her

[wintry sonnet]

you're wrong that's 1, but 2nd if we gonna use Pokemon starter logic, Nimi is obviously Pikachu

not available in base versions, gotta play a different version that has her as a starter

or play a bit before you reach the point where she's unlockable

kinda like pikachu in veridian forest

gotta put in the work before you get Nimi on JP

and Long Island Repulse are Pidgey and Ratata

[dim crystal]

[wintry sonnet]

and Sandy would be Gary

not just one of his pokemons, just Gary, all of Gary and all his pokemons combined

whew, enough D2 for today

should be done with clearing shop with just a few more D2 a day + the dailies and 3x normal

[dim crystal]

I'll have to roll for kwkz tomorrow

[stuck copper]

i can't clear D1

[wintry sonnet]

not enough lvl 100s?

[stuck copper]

nope

[wintry sonnet]

what exactly is wrecking you, boss or the trash mobs?

[stuck copper]

boss

my flagship dies before i can finish it

[wintry sonnet]

what's your fleet

[stuck copper]

uh

hood, long is retro, lusty on back...... laffey retro oath, prinz, york on front, i think

flagship hood

[wintry sonnet]

hm

are you using your carrier strikes to wipe their shelling before hood gets hit?

outside of levels/equip the one thing that comes to mind is you're maybe not utilizing the screenwipe from carrier attacks

[stuck copper]

nope....... maybe that's my problem

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, it's good to let your carrier strikes sit until you see the boss shell your backline

then you can just activate them and clear the screen

[stuck copper]

sounds like a plan

[wintry sonnet]

letting hood avoid damage

iirc it's Naga mutsu for the D1 boss so they should do 3 shelling rounds each when they start lobbing at the back

so if you time it right, you can clear it all with 2 airstrikes, or limit it to like 2 shells with 1

[stuck copper]

or i could get lucky and long is. resets cooldown

[wintry sonnet]

also if you think your damage is good enough, you can try double lining. Damage loss isn't too massive but the evasion boost can be a huge gamechanger

[stuck copper]

yea, i do double line

[wintry sonnet]

then I'd say try timing your carrier strikes to negate shelling and maybe it'll work out

other than that, levels and equipment

Hood alone is strong enough to carry this if she's high lvl

[stuck copper]

yea, and i don't remember what my hood is at, high 70s i think

or low 80s

[wintry sonnet]

oof

well if her skill lvl's developed, it shouldn't be too awful

[stuck copper]

yea....... ty for the tip tho about carrier wipes

[wintry sonnet]

np

[flat palm]

theres a medicine commercial where i live, and its called Telfast

i read it as belfast immiedately

i guess you could call it, a maidicine

[stuck copper]

speaking of medicine...

I am beginning to rely on sleeping pills lately

[dense wing]

before people freak out

always look at this lol

these images are very old

and are obviously fake

but people still fall for them anyways

[ornate mantle]

I saw that Loli Shoukaku.

And almost lost my shit.

AND A KISARAGI RETROFIT INCOMING>

GOOD SHIT>

I was hoping the next retrofit addition would be a while away

But it came anyways.

And it's a DD no less.

[dense wing]

well always check the icon in the corner

azurariru ren does not exist

[ornate mantle]

Guess it's gonna need to be a thing to do when this stuff comes out.

[stuck copper]

shouldn't that be azurori rane?

[dim crystal]

actually think that we would get anything cranes related

so naive

[dense wing]

why rori?

[ornate mantle]

GEM COMMMMISSSSSSIIIIOOOOOOOOOONS

[dim crystal]

failed

[ornate mantle]

Not yet.

[dim crystal]

its your destiny

[ornate mantle]

When did PR get delayed till?

[dense wing]

its unknown im pretty sure

[flat palm]

i think they said a date

lemme look

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D4bKX_rVUAEmY23.jpg

ah just says till after

oh wait no

till 5th may

i guess thats when it comes out

[dim crystal]

belchan is ultra cute

the more i look

[dense wing]

thats an estimated release

[dim crystal]

so zeppy and hiei

is in

special?

[dense wing]

I like the name hieiei for tiny hiei but its so dumb

[stuck copper]

hieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeei

[dense wing]

hieiei!

like how a child cant pronounce anything

and always mess up by adding or missing syllables

[flat palm]

whats that word

"Slated"

doesnt that mean its set to be released 5th

[dense wing]

yes

[ornate mantle]

Indeed

[flat palm]

hopefully it actually is 5th lol

i want to start roon already

we havent heard anything more about that picture cube event right?

[ornate mantle]

I want to start Ibuki already.

goddamit

[flat palm]

i feel you

my prinz is getting impatient

she wants to FITE

[ornate mantle]

I need get Ibuki to 200% affection right now.

Fully Hypermaxed.

[flat palm]

i tried doing a multi in special

for weekly

boy do i regret that

i got 10 commons

omegalul

i think there were 5 bogues in there

[ornate mantle]

You poor sap.

I'm sorry.

[flat palm]

i had a tiny hope that id finally get i19

but nope

[ornate mantle]

Oof.

[flat palm]

2 special multis now, not even an elite

[ornate mantle]

Oh my god.

[flat palm]

this pool sucks ass

[ornate mantle]

40 cubes.

That could have been used to try for zeppy.

[flat palm]

i didnt know about zeppy being special at the time

[ornate mantle]

Tbf.

I did 4 10 pulls last week.

In special.

WHen I was stress rolling.

So that's 80 cubes that could have been saved for Zeppy, and Hiei, and Collab.

[flat palm]

luckily i dont care for kizuna

zeppy though

[ornate mantle]

I care for both.

[flat palm]

im excited for belchan though

i saved a ring so i can oath her and call her belchan

Worth the jail sentence

[ornate mantle]

I want them all... especially since Kizuna might just be me need to build for 2 ships.

Whew.

[flat palm]

im annoyed about the aya skin

i literally just bought the rock skin that i love

then this skin comes and im like

bleugh, here we go again, another ayanami skin

[ornate mantle]

The Rock skin?

Oh, Ayayaya.

[flat palm]

yea

[ornate mantle]

tbh, I'm probably avoiding those skins.

yeah, I'm avoiding these skins.

They just don't interest me a lot.
