[stuck copper]

Probably more so than actual triple A titles

i say this having not played any others

[clear gate]

That and the state of AAA has been wanting lately

[stuck copper]

I mean warframe for example

Is like

3-4 years

Still a beta

yeah triple a games gone to to poop

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

I regard Warframe as one of the shining examples of how to do an F2P well

[stuck copper]

Not anymore it ain't

[clear gate]

Oh boy what happened to it

[stuck copper]

They've been making that game go downhill for a while

[oblique mantle]

New update rei

[stuck copper]

Like a good while

[oblique mantle]

It looks nice on my phone

[clear gate]

Oh well

[cosmic pier]

nice

[stuck copper]

The stuff they've added and all that have just ruined the game really

[cosmic pier]

did you get bisquit yet

[oblique mantle]

Ha

[clear gate]

🍪

[oblique mantle]

Now about that

[cosmic pier]

Ha

[stuck copper]

YIKES

[flat palm]

I should download nox now that 60fps is a thing

[stuck copper]

omg i actualy am so excited to try new ui

[oblique mantle]

All the whales can’t play yet

[flat palm]

Aka the battery killer

[stuck copper]

LOL

[cosmic pier]

lul

[oblique mantle]

So I am on standby

[cosmic pier]

im on off then

[oblique mantle]

Clever use of the emote

[stuck copper]

🔛 📴

@clear gate But yeah that is 3-4 years of being a beta

AL EN

1 year

No longer beta

When a gacha game comes out of beta faster than a triple A

can you compare the two.. ?

Well for one they definitely have more resources to work with

So by and large yes

[clear gate]

It's true though, they're not directly comparable, lots of factors to consider

[stuck copper]

They shouldn't still be in beta

The reason they are

triple A games should release completed

"Is so we can make changes and people can't say anything"

Because betas are "subject to change"

And it means they can do what they want

the only change triple a should get is DLCs

[clear gate]

AAA games should release in a good state imo

[stuck copper]

Regardless of repercussions

[clear gate]

Honestly, DLC is fine when executed well

[stuck copper]

I agree

yeah dlc is nice and good

Remember back in the day

[clear gate]

but it should never be an excuse to release a bad game

[stuck copper]

but not unfinised games

Where patching wasn't a thing

And they had to make good games

Because they couldn't just patch it over

some of them dont even bother to patch

look at bethesda

[clear gate]

Well that's just lazy

[stuck copper]

they let modders finish the game for them lmao

and all the console ports of jrpgs that literally never work out of the box

not that i mind a bit of extra work before a game runs properly but u know

[clear gate]

Let's not pretend that shitty games never existed though, even in the times where we like to remember all the great games

:3

[stuck copper]

Oh yeah they definitely did

But as mentioned

The games that did well

Knew they had to make the game in a full state

As there was no post release patching to fix it

[clear gate]

A long way back, PC games used to be harder to write too. Since the Windows 9x era, we at least have common APIs and driver abstractions

[stuck copper]

Ikr

They have less excuses now

Since things are much easier

There's so many shortcuts now

[sour crescent]

Those shortcuts are exactly what make devs lazy though

[clear gate]

Fun experience - go look at some old DOS games and see how they handle stuff like sound

[stuck copper]

While I do agree Izu

It would be better if like

They used those to cut some of the harder work

But use the extra time

To polish it more

[clear gate]

Many DOS games have a setup menu where you select from a list of supported sound cards

[stuck copper]

Old games were hard to make

[clear gate]

and supported graphics cards

[stuck copper]

Technical difficulties

Limited capabilities

[clear gate]

since there weren't so many common APIs, DOS games had to include support for different components on their own

[stuck copper]

And back then there are more than just PC

[clear gate]

and that created so many problems

Yah

I'm talking about just DOS, but obviously there were other computers besides the PC back in the day

[stuck copper]

I didn't know about DOS, other than its commands

[clear gate]

Commodore! Amiga! TRS-80! The various CP/M systems!

DOS began its humble life as a CP/M clone and then eventually became the giant that killed CP/M

[stuck copper]

Well, the earliest OS I've met is Windows 95

[clear gate]

DOS is the OS that started it for Microsoft, the first versions of Windows were just nice interfaces on top of DOS

Windows 9x is also still based on DOS very heavily

[stuck copper]

earliest OS i used was 98

[clear gate]

It was only until Windows XP where consumers were treated to a non-DOS Windows

[stuck copper]

I think MS purchased something from a company then turned it into DOS

[clear gate]

They did yes

It was originally called QDOS for "quick and dirty operating system"

[stuck copper]

but the first one I actually played on and used for more than a day was windows 2000 I think

Digital something or so?

[carmine coyote]

At first it was just apple

[stuck copper]

Apple introduced the concept of "mouse"

Gonna be out for a few

Now that I've started such a great convo

[clear gate]

Microsoft bought it, then IBM was like "yo Microsoft can we license your OS to put on our new PC" and Microsoft was like "sure" and then the IBM PC was born and killed everyone else

Even Apple computers today are fundamentally IBM PC-compatible

[stuck copper]

windows won the PC market because their OS was based on NT and DOS which was a step away from Unix

Too bad they could not keep up and nearly went bankrupt by the hand of MS

@clear gate You're welcome

I revived chat for you

it ended up being less resource heavy than unix based OS like Mac/linux

Most of us here are geeks

[clear gate]

That's not the reason why it won out 🤔

Not even slightly

[stuck copper]

so it ended up being cheaper

Anyway out for a few

oh okay then

[clear gate]

Have you actually seen a Unix system, they're way more efficient

at least some of the Unices

[stuck copper]

Unix is for geek

today sure

I think it was different back then

[clear gate]

Nah not really

[stuck copper]

that's what I read anyway

[clear gate]

The thing is, Unix was never really a desktop OS, not for a longass time

[stuck copper]

but I guess I'm wrong

[clear gate]

It's always been a workstation and server OS

[stuck copper]

I think nowadays, anyone could create a video game if they tried

[clear gate]

and it still dominates there

[stuck copper]

yeah but that's why I said PC , personal computer

Back then only companies could

[clear gate]

and Apple was just kind of... dumb in the 90s

early 90s at least

[stuck copper]

Like, Azur Lane was created by Unity

windows dominates the personal consumer side of computing because it didn't require a roomful of server

[clear gate]

It helped that IBM popularized DOS

otherwise we might not have seen Microsoft's rise as we have

Modern PCs are still fundamentally IBM PC-compatible

[stuck copper]

wait

#off-topic

It is fine, it is allowed here I think

[clear gate]

Anyway yeah, Unix was just not comfortable for PC use for a longass time. It wasn't a matter of system resources though, just that nobody optimized it for that

[sour crescent]

Too an extent it is allowed

[stuck copper]

don't wanna be beaned

[sour crescent]

But still

[clear gate]

Nowadays Linux is pretty comfortable for PC use, but it's come to the party very late, so it's not likely we'll see it rise to dominance soon

[stuck copper]

yeah

personally I still don't like linux

literal spaghetti filesystem

[clear gate]

It still dominates on servers and whathaveyou

[stuck copper]

well of course but I'm not a server owner I'm a PC user

[steep scarab]

tfw

[stuck copper]

so I take it in the personal context

[clear gate]

The filesystem's fine, you just ignore the system folders like you do with any other OS

[steep scarab]

you had to install like

15 printers

[clear gate]

I use it for my own PCs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stuck copper]

big brain

but still, it annoys me how I cant ever find anything in the filesystem

[cosmic pier]

@steep scarab

[steep scarab]

@cosmic pier

[cosmic pier]

[clear gate]

I've used it for a long while, so I'm definitely used to the quirks

[steep scarab]

[clear gate]

I prefer it to Windows for PC use

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stuck copper]

just folder after duplicate folder all over the place, and some folders are actually partitions, and on and on

well thats nice I guess

if they make a Linux that can run any windows program natively then I'll be more interested xD

[clear gate]

For me, Windows has a habit of acting weirdly for no apparent reason and it's not as customizable

Yeah, that's... not happening lol

[stuck copper]

funny cuz that's exactly how I feel abt Linux

[clear gate]

Some big steps have been made lately though, Steam now ships with Proton allowing a lot of Windows Steam games to run well on Linux

which is hardly perfect, but if you told me two years ago that Steam would ship something like that I would've laughed

[stuck copper]

I suppose the main issue is that the windows kernel and related source code is proprietary right

[clear gate]

Yah, so it's all got to be reverse-engineered

[stuck copper]

yeah

but I heard Microsoft was warming up to Linux a little

[clear gate]

They have been lately, yes. I much prefer this Microsoft to the one of 10 years ago

[stuck copper]

supposed to be something like a Linux subsystem inside windows

[clear gate]

Yah, Windows Subsystem for Linux. It's a Linux stack that runs inside Windows and allows Linux applications to run

[stuck copper]

perhaps someday people with a license can get a windows stack that runs in linux

[clear gate]

You still have quite a bit of overhead from that kind of system of course

[stuck copper]

yeah

[clear gate]

There's Wine, which is... imperfect. But sometimes it works. Kind of.

[stuck copper]

yeah

[clear gate]

When it works it's brilliant, but it can be fiddly and sometimes it just doesn't run stuff

[stuck copper]

it didn't run what I wanted it to when I tried

[flat palm]

Hear me out ok

60 fps l2d boobs

[clear gate]

For my part, I mostly moved off Wine - I found it easier to use alternative software than sometimes struggling with Wine

Also, 60 FPS - did you mean RIP battery life? 🤔

The AL app is updated and all, we're just still under maintenance

Also this APK version is "2.0" and the previous one was 1.x

Normally 1.0 is supposed to be the first non-beta release

[carmine coyote]

Or it was just mk. I

[cosmic pier]

is not looking at screen in 60 fps any different from its 30 fps counterpart

[clear gate]

Well, even my not-great eyes can tell the difference between 30 and 60

[carmine coyote]

Things just go faster in a way?

[clear gate]

But I don't mind 30

Moving up to 60 FPS just makes me worry about increased battery drain

[stuck copper]

anyone who cares can tell the difference between 30 and 60 lol

but the game is fine on 30 true

[clear gate]

Capping at 30 FPS on PC is gross, but on a mobile gacha game IDC

[stuck copper]

only game I don't mind in 30fps is dark souls1

xD

[clear gate]

I don't even mind 30 FPS on PC, I just mind capping it there since a PC can do so much more

There's no reason to put a cap for modern games

[dim crystal]

My girls are hungry

And wrong

In some game higher fps cause bugs

[clear gate]

In poorly designed games yes

[stuck copper]

cap at 200 then we good

[dim crystal]

PC port

[stuck copper]

Skyrim lol

[clear gate]

Having FPS tied to the game engine in a way that can cause bugs is generally an old-fashioned idea, that's like... DOS era stuff

Way back before the convenience of common APIs and stuff

[stuck copper]

standing on a skeleton and then the bone bounces around so violently it kills you

240hz gaming

[clear gate]

Ever try playing a very old DOS game on a very fast DOS PC or emulator? That can create some fun situations

[stuck copper]

touhou xS

xD

[clear gate]

LEGO Island becomes unplayably fast for example

That's not even a DOS game, that's a Windows game

but it's one of those primitive games where the game engine and FPS are tied together

so if the FPS goes up the playability goes down

lmao

The AI moves superhumanly fast and all the controls become impossibly sensitive

[carmine coyote]

Reminds me of the time when I got Morrowind for my PC, only for it to lag horribly

This was way back before Steam existed by the way

[dim crystal]

since bismarck is coming

I cant make jokes about bismarck never come anymore

.............

its just yamato now

[carmine coyote]

The myth became a reality, but if she doesn't end up in your docks will she still be a myth?

[clear gate]

No, because you will see her in PvP one day

lol

[carmine coyote]

[frail mulch]

[clear gate]

It's not a myth, you just don't have her P:

No need to get philosophical

[rare blaze]

howwww

[stuck copper]

You can't craft in 2 hours

It's not fundamentally possible to do so

[steep scarab]

oh yea

there's a new feature

Not too much

[ornate mantle]

There is talk of that.

This event looks so hype

Watch though

As our servers

It happens nearly every big update

[rare blaze]

i was so hyped for the update

[desert harness]

inb4 2 hour delay for a 10 hour maint

whats a sink the bismarck fleet with our current ships btw?

[stuck copper]

Sink the bismarck

Nothing sinks bismarck

Bismarck sinks hood

[clear gate]

What do you mean, you mean "what's a historically accurate fleet?"

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

Dorsetshire, Ark Royal, Rodney

[desert harness]

hms botes

bring hood for good luck

[stuck copper]

I'm already using full HMS team

Might do 2 HMS teams

[clear gate]

Norfolk and Suffolk helped stalk Bismarck in the buildup to the final encounter

[rare blaze]

what if bismarck has a special skill to 3 shot ammo rack hood xD

[stuck copper]

3 shot?

Nah she'd 1 shot

[rare blaze]

history xD

[stuck copper]

Instantly scores max citadel damage

[steep scarab]

hmm i can't seem to find it

[desert harness]

im gonna bring my hms backline for monarch grinding and then some combo of mogkai/nanoda/porty/ibuki

[rare blaze]

one shot went into the ammo storage and she xploded

[stuck copper]

And her shots instantly target hood

No matter where she's placed

[desert harness]

if she's vs hood, hood just immediately sinks

[stuck copper]

Lol

This is my Monarch fleet atm

[desert harness]

looks aboot right

im taking this opportunity to level up warspite

[clear gate]

Hood was pretty old by the time she was sent to fight Bismarck, and was overdue for a retrofit at the time

[stuck copper]

Neptune there going full speed for levels

What's the gold things around Nep

[clear gate]

so it wasn't really a favorable matchup

[stuck copper]

Oh the other SR botes I have maxed

[rare blaze]

Dorsetshire, Ark Royal, Rodney, Shiefield, Norfolk and ...POW?

[stuck copper]

Oh you don't know

[desert harness]

its the PR ship border @stuck copper

[clear gate]

Sure, PoW

[stuck copper]

PR botes have a gold special border

Epic

[desert harness]

if only PoW was useful

[stuck copper]

I wouldn't know since I don't have Monarch yet

[desert harness]

without a full eagle fleet

[rare blaze]

other than mommy H-class Friedich

[stuck copper]

I'm 50% through 1mil on monarch

[desert harness]

same-ish

[stuck copper]

I gained 50% yesterday only

[clear gate]

Bismarck was very new in comparison to Hood, armed with the latest technology of the time

[stuck copper]

I plan to do the next 50% over today and tomorrow

[clear gate]

Hood is a WWI-era ship

[stuck copper]

Btw for reference

Because of neps level

[rare blaze]

she could have survived thwo, if she and POW sync their shot

[stuck copper]

I'm farming 5-3 atm

This is about the exp I get

Wait a minute

[clear gate]

PoW actually had a lot of technical difficulties during that engagement due to being too new

[stuck copper]

Yeah they forced her out to war

Before she was ready

And despite that she kicked ass

[steep scarab]

Oh i found it

[desert harness]

i named my vampy Lillith

[stuck copper]

[desert harness]

haven found a good name for dork yet

[stuck copper]

Yeah I named her that because it just matched

Her being a vampire and such and what not

[desert harness]

ye exactly

[clear gate]

Everyone aboard PoW knew that there were probably going to be a lot of malfunctions, and prior to the engagement with Bismarck the technicians were requested to remain onboard. They did so and that helped a lot

[desert harness]

which is why my vampy got that name

it fits them both v well

[stuck copper]

Ikr

I tend to come up with names

That either have reference

Or are like anagrams

For example

Portland is Rose

[stuck copper]

Because portland is the city of roses

[desert harness]

that makes sense

[clear gate]

PoW's quad 14-inch Mark VII turrets ended up having a lot of breakdowns during the fight

[verbal obsidian]

fysh posting lewds

[stuck copper]

The issue with quads too

Is that

[verbal obsidian]

[stuck copper]

Fundamentally

They sucked badly

Because more barrels = more spread

So more shots got wasted

[clear gate]

PoW wasn't wanting for firepower, but eight of her main guns were in the quad turrets

[rare blaze]

i read the battle of Denmark Strait an d her last battle the day b4 the supposed update, and get let down magnificiantly

[stuck copper]

Hence why most guns used 2-3 barrels

[rare blaze]

[sour crescent]

I named Dork, Dork Because I refer to her as Dork all the time

[stuck copper]

Since too many barrels made shots steer off course too much

It's why they were among few

Of the quad barrel guns

[rare blaze]

i heard KGV did better than POW though

[stuck copper]

French quad barrels on the other hand

Were far more efficient

As it was less quad guns

And more

2 + 2

[desert harness]

same king

[clear gate]

Hood's guns were old and slower to reload

[stuck copper]

As they were fired independently of one another

But yeah PoW was pretty new

[sour crescent]

Literally named everyone what I refer to them as

[stuck copper]

Warspite is definitely the king of battle though

Like holy shit

[dense wing]

the queen?

[stuck copper]

"Oops sorry german navy, I didn't mean to come in front of you"

"Let me just give you a present before I go"

[steep scarab]

wel think i covered most of it now

[dense wing]

ships arent male

[clear gate]

In Russian, ships are referred to in the masculine

[rare blaze]

[clear gate]

I believe

[dense wing]

we arent in russia

[stuck copper]

It's because warspite literally went in front of the entire german navy

[rare blaze]

avrora is trap comfirmed

[stuck copper]

Kicked ass

And got out ok

[sour crescent]

Just because we drink Vodka doesn't mean we are Russian

[rare blaze]

ive got to read about that

[sour crescent]

[stuck copper]

With some damage obviously

But like

She was quite a monster to do that

Wasn't Warspite like a WWI-era dreadnought

[clear gate]

Yes

[stuck copper]

Something like that yeah

[clear gate]

Warspite was really old

[stuck copper]

She is referred to

As grand old lady

For a reason lol

Why does our grand old lady not wear pants in AL

One of the oldest if not the oldest in commission at that time

[sour crescent]

For Speed

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

The Erebus-class was also very old by the time of WWII

[sour crescent]

tell me someone gets the reference

[stuck copper]

Poor Terror

The reason she's a zombie in game

Sad

Is because she got pummelled

And rebuilt

Like took tremendous damage

[rare blaze]

@sour crescent i dont get it

[stuck copper]

Aerodynamics

[clear gate]

Monitors were considered an old-fashioned concept by WWII, but the Brits still built two more of them for cheap coastal bombardment purposes

[stuck copper]

Clothing makes you slow

[clear gate]

Hence the Roberts-class monitors were built

[rare blaze]

ah yes extra armour extra weight

[clear gate]

Roberts-class, including Abercrombie ofc

[rare blaze]

then Hood should be skirtless too

[sour crescent]

Its a reference to one of the AL manga's where she explains she doesn't wear pants because she needs the extra speed

[stuck copper]

Skirtless Hood

But yeah there's a lot of fun stories

[rare blaze]

she no armour but a fast gal

[stuck copper]

I mean Graf Spee for example

[clear gate]

Well, the point of battlecruisers was that they're faster

[stuck copper]

Was quite a beast herself

[steep scarab]

@dense wing kawakawa

[rare blaze]

but she weak to plunging fire

[stuck copper]

To the point she fought if I recall correctly

[clear gate]

When do we get USS Johnston

[stuck copper]

Essex, Ajax and Achilles

On her own

Epic

1 v 3

And still took barely any damage

[sour crescent]

Then the cavalry rolled in and fucked her up

[stuck copper]

The only reason spee went down

Is because she got baited

By comms

So they scuttled her

Because renown and ark were said to be inbound

"Keep in mind they were no where near close enough to help"

[rare blaze]

master-baited

[stuck copper]

Got full on jebaited

[clear gate]

Not as bad as that U-boat that got captured because a toilet malfunction forced them to surface

[stuck copper]

LOL

[rare blaze]

link plz!

[stuck copper]

"THE TOILET IS OVERFILLING HALP"

What a way to go out

[sour crescent]

Side note, can anyone else not get passed the Loading Game screen? (Just checking if I am alone on this)

[clear gate]

Actually they just got bombed

[rare blaze]

"U only captured me cause u got lucky" "LOL, ur full of shit"

[stuck copper]

"misuse of the new toilet caused large amounts of water to flood the boat."

When the server is up they'll let us know

Btw the worst part of this Sky

[sour crescent]

I know the server is down, I mean the literal initial loading screen

[stuck copper]

"EWWWWWWWW POO WATER"

[clear gate]

Side note, if you don't know Johnston's story
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Johnston_(DD-557)

[sour crescent]

Like typically you can get passed that

[stuck copper]

You did the google play update right?

[desert harness]

click cancel instead of confirm and the game wont close

also yea u gotta download a google play update

[clear gate]

William D. Porter

[sour crescent]

Yep I did the update

[stuck copper]

I'll check it now

[clear gate]

who, during a demonstration, shot a live torpedo at Iowa with president FDR onboard

[steep scarab]

@rare blaze i'd avoid using the "R" word if i were you

[verbal obsidian]

ye get em fysh!

[clear gate]

Nobody will ever forget WDP

[sour crescent]

Screw it, just reinstalling the whole game rq

[clear gate]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_William_D._Porter_(DD-579)

[sour crescent]

Checked with some other friends, seems like I am the only one getting the issue

[clear gate]

"The ship is predominantly remembered today for the string of extremely unfortunate events that plagued her short three-year career."

[dense wing]

@steep scarab

[rare blaze]

damm i got warned for the "reta..."

[stuck copper]

Seems fine on mine

[dense wing]

against the rules!

[steep scarab]

Just don’t do it again

[dense wing]

@sour crescent your game is stuck at warspite and QE?

[steep scarab]

Oh ye

About that icons where you can choose formation

Sub movement

[dense wing]

go through with that reinstall, just make sure you’re using wifi

[stuck copper]

Wait

[steep scarab]

Not sure but it’s permanently open, you cant hide it

[dense wing]

since thats corrupted files that causes forever loading there

[stuck copper]

You still wave warspite and QE loaded?

Not even on mine anymore

[sour crescent]

My game was stuck at Enty

I had it updated

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

f

[sour crescent]

Yea

I was just like "Well now what"

Its the first issue I have ever had with the game

[dense wing]

the turntables have turned on me before

[stuck copper]

[steep scarab]

Auto mode is also saved too

[rare blaze]

oh how the turns have tabled

[steep scarab]

Even if you exit the game

[stuck copper]

Oh right

[steep scarab]

It usually resets if you exit game

[sour crescent]

OMG

REALLY

[stuck copper]

I have to ask

That notification thing

Did they fix that bs

Oh fuck

[steep scarab]

Idk

[stuck copper]

Where it pops up on every single daily login

[spark wagon]

i assume we still cant pre download the update (?)

[stuck copper]

Because it did for me

To the point

[steep scarab]

You can @spark wagon

[stuck copper]

I literally had to have keybinds

[spark wagon]

oow sweet

[stuck copper]

You need to download from google play store

[steep scarab]

Update on app store/play store/apk

[stuck copper]

This is a different update from standard

[spark wagon]

i mean in-game

[stuck copper]

It has to be done via google play first

[steep scarab]

Ahh

[stuck copper]

But yeah that little notification box

Did it appear during login for you?

The what now

Where it says like

"On auto such and such"

And you have the little box to tick

Because that shit popping up every time the day reset

I mean

Was the biggest pet peeve

[spark wagon]

the "don't remind me" tick

[stuck copper]

Yes that one

It really wasn't an issue tbh

[rare blaze]

probs just close thru muscle memory

[stuck copper]

No but I want to know if it's fixed

So that we don't have to

[rare blaze]

OHHH THAT ONE

[steep scarab]

oh

[rare blaze]

yeah thats pretty annoying

[steep scarab]

the notif box

if you set auto?

[stuck copper]

Yar yar

And how it reset

Every day

[steep scarab]

fixed

[stuck copper]

YES

[steep scarab]

also

[stuck copper]

[rare blaze]

HEL YEAH!

[steep scarab]

you can always set auto now

they also fixed the checkbox for hide news too

i think

[stuck copper]

Yes

Thank god

I can finally remove those quick buttons

[spark wagon]

just notice the loading font got smaller

[stuck copper]

I literally made buttons to aim where they were

[rare blaze]

look at all those quality of lifechanges

[stuck copper]

Because of how annoying it was

Lol

Did they make dorm rotation better

[desert harness]

why would they do that

[stuck copper]

Thanks for this news poot

Like of all the things that actually ticked me off

It was literally that damn tick box

And it constantly rearing its head

[clear gate]

Want something confusing

The US Navy had a repair ship called USS Ajax, designated AR-6

[stuck copper]

Lol

[clear gate]

Lots of stuff existed with the same names

[stuck copper]

So she'd stomp on me and I'd get healed

Interesting

[dim crystal]

I miss my shipgirls

[rare blaze]

apparently of HMS Enterprise was an escort for KGV's group or sthin

[dim crystal]

they are hungry

[stuck copper]

This is why

[sour crescent]

I also miss my girls

[stuck copper]

I expanded my dorm food

I plan to expand it to about 1 day's worth

That way

[sour crescent]

[dim crystal]

lies

[stuck copper]

Even if maint happens

[dim crystal]

I bet you just misclicked

[stuck copper]

24 hours

Will be more than enough to protecc their food

[desert harness]

i have 17 hours rn so that should be enough to last any maint

[rare blaze]

I only found that out because i thought the white ghost was from HMS >.<

[dim crystal]

except a 24 hours maint

[stuck copper]

I hope my girls don't starve when I return

[dim crystal]

[desert harness]

24 hour maint

[stuck copper]

Lol

Unlimited Maintenance Works

Otherwise known as the UMW

[rare blaze]

i saw this one FGO memeabout maintainece once, got me ROLF

[stuck copper]

Hang on

You mean this one

Just forever maintenance

[desert harness]

thats it

[rare blaze]

no the " dont u know what happens when maintenance ends? Thats when maintenance begins"

[stuck copper]

Ah that one

[spark wagon]

lul

[desert harness]

oh that one

[stuck copper]

This one

[rare blaze]

but urs is gfreast too xD

[stuck copper]

Forever maintenance

[grand dew]

Fgo ever got new ui?

[stuck copper]

Dunno actually

[grand dew]

The constant loading between screens?

[stuck copper]

Keybinds aren't illegal for AL right?

[desert harness]

AL is illegal

[stuck copper]

Lol

@last kiln

[stuck copper]

Lol

[rare blaze]

https://binged.it/2EkOf1Y

[stuck copper]

Big oof

[rare blaze]

wrong link

[stuck copper]

Lol

See the 6,7,8,9 buttons

Those are for notifs alone

[rare blaze]

xD

[stuck copper]

Having to manually click them is so annoying that I just keybind them instead

[desert harness]

thats a genius idea

[stuck copper]

[tardy violet]

https://tenor.com/view/modern-problems-solutions-dave-chapelle-gif-13450651

[stuck copper]

1 is auto 2-3-4 are skills

• is pause

4 can work as a start quest too

Makes thinks much easier

i bound all that shit to a controller so i don't even have to lift my arms.

[rare blaze]

i afraid i fat finger my submarines so i put them away from my other skills xD

[stuck copper]

Lol

[clear gate]

On laptop, the Android runtime I use by default uses the Esc key as the back button, and that allows me to not require specific binds for a lot of stuff

as AL is responsive to the back button

[stuck copper]

But yeah that's how lazy I am

To the point I use 4 buttons

Just for notifs

[verbal obsidian]

no u

[rare blaze]

Revy what emulator u using?

[stuck copper]

My emulator is probably different from every other user here

[clear gate]

On laptop I use Anbox and on desktop I just use the Android SDK emulator lol

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

If you thought yours was hipster you hadn't heard of mine

[rare blaze]

Razzles that means ur using the same emulator as the other half of us

[stuck copper]

LD player

Is what I use

[clear gate]

There aren't a lot of good Android emulators here on Linux

[stuck copper]

Oh fuckkk

Last week of school until finals

[spark wagon]

nox

[clear gate]

Anbox is better than an emulator though

since it's emulating nothing

[rare blaze]

Nox too, as u might have known form the link i accidentally sent xD

[stuck copper]

Yeah a lot of people use nox

Linux OS huh

Pretty spiffy stuff

[clear gate]

Anbox is just an Android runtime and uses the native Linux kernel

no emulation required

It's faster and more efficient

[stuck copper]

Bruh

[spark wagon]

well you run linux on your laptop right ?

[clear gate]

Yah

[spark wagon]

me w10

[stuck copper]

i hate nox. i only use it because it's less bloated than bluestacks.

[clear gate]

And on the desktop too actually, but on desktop I use the Android SDK emulator from Google since Anbox is still pretty new and can be weird

[verbal obsidian]

whats wrong with nox

then again i only use it for al and honkai

[stuck copper]

takes a billion years to boot, and a few nit-picks

crashes half the time

[verbal obsidian]

mm i'll give u that

also that

[stuck copper]

nox player stopped working

[rare blaze]

i had a problem where i tried to shut dfown with nox still open and walkerd away

[stuck copper]

this stopped working, that stopped working

[verbal obsidian]

i find that even after i close nox

the process is still in the background

[stuck copper]

reboot and wait another 5 billion years

[verbal obsidian]

and i have to manually kill it

[rare blaze]

my com stopped working, had to wipe

[clear gate]

If not for the bugs and the whole "still in alpha" thing, I would use Anbox on desktop too

I use it on laptop since it's less stressful for the hardware than an emulator

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

and I'll take some bugs over "laptop becomes a toaster oven"

[stuck copper]

Well revy

If they get it for pc

Let me know

It sounds interesting

But you can play AL while cooking eggs

Would be nice to use an emulator that doesn't emulate

Frying a cpu is really great

[rare blaze]

not really a toaster oven , i just did an app wipe so my files were sitl there

[stuck copper]

Especially when it serves up food too

[rare blaze]

was real lucky

[stuck copper]

my pc is so dirty, i'd rather not put food in it

Clean it

Not gonna lie

My laptop

[rare blaze]

if it gets hot enuf , it kills the germs for u

[stuck copper]

Where the mouse area is

Is literally warped

That's how much I've used it
