like, my cat would do something he knew he wasn't allowed to, but he kept looking me in the eye, then continued doing it, the little bastard. it's kinda cute.
xD cats train their owners
"what's betrayal?"
"taking your cat to your room to pet it and it just running away"
owners train dogs but cats do the opposite
honestly i dont like dogs at all
laffey 18 luck 
Laffey has awful luck, yes
even spence has more than that
awww
Laffey had a pretty short life, is why
that's normal cat behavior
Commissioned March 31, 1942
Sunk November 13, same year
Her last engagement was getting surrounded by bigger and more heavily armed ships and fighting to the death
Luck does often reflect some aspect of the ship's IRL circumstances, yeah
thats some insane attention to detail
laffey did an spartan rush into her death 
Enterprise has 93 Luck
Survived a lot of bullshit that should have killed her, and had a lot of support from other ships
Lasted through to the end of the war
i see i see
Yukikaze also has 93 luck - the sole survivor of many engagements she was involved in, survived through to the end of the war before being transferred to China
finally met her end in a typhoon in like the 1970s I think
Officially Yukikaze was scrapped, but she was pretty much not salvageable after the typhoon damage
1939 to 1970 is a long, long life
: long
Amagi has 23 luck, since she died in an earthquake before ever seeing service
yikes 
Yep
The main reason Kaga became a carrier was because Amagi was too damaged to be converted
Erebus has 91 luck
all PR ships have 0 luck, because they weren't even made. that's the worst luck ever lmao
Ibuki actually was laid down, but the war ended before she was finished
i consider myself very lucky to see monarch thigh on my main screen tbh
Monarch HATES the Royal Navy but can't admit it
She was underway to be converted to a carrier, if you can believe it
since the IJN lost so many carriers
There actually was an IJN Izumo in the 1890's
The modernized Izumo was never finished though
There's a doujin that stars Ibuki in one page, where she sees Taihou and Akagi and is like "man I'm so glad I wasn't born a carrier"
It's the one with form-changing Zeppelin
Okay I haven't seen it then
where she becomes chibi at will
LOOK AT HOW CLEAN THAT LOOKS
HOLY SHIT
Yah, modern Izumo is pretty slick
Have you seen modern Sandy, she looks so awkward
aww
She looks like she wanted to be a carrier but stopped half way

I hypothesize that modern Independence is actually the inspiration for some of the Siren ships
I hypothesize that modern Independence is actually the inspiration for some of the Siren ships
There is at a good resemblance between the Independence-class and the Knight CLs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Queen_Elizabeth_(R08) QE aviation batleship 
Wouldn't be surprised
oo
QE Retro when
Oh yeah, QE is now a carrier because battleships are just pointless now
heh
Modern PoW is also QE-class
hm there are two queen elizabeths tho
looked like a shark 
Akatsuki got the awesome modern incarnation though
YO
in the year 2297 our great great grandkids be playing azur lane but with spaceships
Probably
Also, Akatsuki had a rough start since she actually failed to enter Venus orbit on the first try and had to wait 5 years to try again
F
They had to do some modifications to the flight plan, since the main engine was totally clapped and they had to use the control systems to get into orbit
which weren't actually designed to do that
It worked tho
oh in the end i did manage to get two 2:2 fleets on d2
jesus 5 years
space is wild
It helped that since the main engine was borked, the operators were able to lighten the probe by dumping a lot of fuel
d3 time 
which was no longer needed
We'd best be careful, don't want to get warnings for talking about historical stuff etc

I don't know, never used her
Generally speaking though most USS ships have high AA for their classes
USS botes all have high AA
i see
Since most of the wars they fought were against IJN carriers
higher gun efficiency buffs damage as well?
oh nice
This is what makes Aya's FP and AA so much worse, since you have a <100% efficiency for main gun and AA gun
On Nimi
0.85x main gun, 0.75x AA gun
175% Efficiency is fucking NICE
for Aya
so a t3 twin 127mm on portlands 65% secondary gun slot is a waste ?
I don't mind this, Helena needed something and I missed the last skin
It is not, actually. There's nothing that benefits from reload time on her secondary gun
so you might as well just use the highest DPS gun possible
despite the low efficiency
okey
This is also the unfortunate situation that some IJN DDs have to live with
so its more important for proc on fire skills
Aya likes having peashooter guns that fire quickly because she has good barrages, and her main gun damage is so bad that it's negligible. Might as well sacrifice the main gun damage all the way to make it a barrage machine
That's basically the question you're asking yourself if you see a bad efficiency
i see i see
"Do I have a skill that justifies dumping the main gun entirely"
Most lower tier ships - No, use t3 127mm
Aya, Poi, etc. - Yes, use peashooters
i see i see
it's similar with hood. she has a powerful barrage. that's why you give her a fast gun
to trigger it faster and more often
yeah and nagato and monarch
Also Hood's FP isn't amazing
And triggering her barrage means her next shot is faster
if a ship has nothing of the sorts, you just give it something strong
and biscuit
usually
yeah and nagato and monarch
internet fucking up aaaa
at the end of the day, you can do whatever you want
Bismarck's barrage actually isn't that great from what I understand, so you might prefer a slightly stronger but slower main gun
I run Dork with the 381 sometimes
its just for that confidence 
Because its funny
There isn't even a good reason for that lol since Dork's barrage is timed
Candy junkie #4
omg what hapened to my 12.7mms 
Also, you can kinda justify the t3 twin 100mm on Aya for auto, since the torps and barrages are going to be more of a crapshoot
Not so much for manual
I prefer the twin 100 to the pea shooters.
I prefer it if I don't know whether to use it or the peashooter
It's the "safer" pick
12k power on mob fleet
I just don’t like the feeling of “I’m firing spitballs at the enemy”.
They're spitballs against heavy armor
with most torp DDs i feel like they're firing spitballs either way 
...and that's why so many people love Laffey
you really need the barrages
2 Spitballs > 1 spitball
i run aya and poi. they deal a lot when they trigger.
yes i love laffey, she's super cute, super strong, and super sleepy
I’ve never used laffey
There's no saving you if you're a torp DD without a good barrage though, e.g. Shiratsuyu
You just have to wait for your torps to charge back up
Nimi master race 
I used Nimi primarily.
once nick retro comes i'll use her primarily
Used Aya too for torp memes.
right now i'm using nick for asw
I used Aya enough to get her to oath and 100
Oh, nowadays I use Poi primarily.
Then named her Dust Buster and stripped her gear
i see no reason to ever run anything but torp memes for bosses
My main DD is still Javelin
well, Javelin and Laffey
Depends on who I'm feeling more
Nimi, Nimi and Nimi are my main DD's
Woh such variety.
I know 

FR though I use Nimi and Z46 a bunch
YKK yeah, lmao.
I’ve never used YKK still.
Crescent if I want a cheap DD that's dependable
I’ve been meaning to do something about that...
i use ykk a lot for tanking stuff 
If I want cheap front line I can 100% depend on I throw Cleveland and Nimi together, they have never failed me
No 3rd ship though
Crescent hasn't failed me yet, her biggest moment of glory was killing that Enterprise 1 on 1 in PvP
dodging two Lucky E strikes
inb4 "ohhh but Crescent low-tier"
i've been using columbia a lot, her flagship defense is so good for leveling
You do you man
I don't judge what people use, sure I'll joke and take the piss out of them sometimes but still if you like the bote then use the bote
they're both kinda resilient
Common as hell, not a lot of damage but hard to kill. Annoying
you could say
Cygnet has better survivability @ slightly higher EVA and much better luck, but Crescent doesn't go down easily either
so for meta purposes you often see Cygnet preferred over Crescent, but I like Crescent more
i always mix them up
Cygnet is the one with a billion skins and big boobs
both DDs, both start with C
Crescent is the tsundere
C for cute 
not gonna lie, i thought it was pretty awesome of them to give it out for free
hey i can 3 star d3 wtf
as a new player, receiving free boobie skins is nice
Lol
i bought the saratoga one though
as a filthy casual f2p, i like receiving free lewd skins too
Using Nagato for barrage
It is, but it's not the main reason you use her
otherwise Mutsu would be so popular
:3
Extremely similar statlines and same barrage
when it happens my phone just dies
rip
freezes for a while second as if to ask "excuse me what the fuck are you asking me to do here"
a nd then everyone is suddenly dead
Mutsu is cute, she's a squeaky mouse who just wants to learn about the world
both cute 


her kai ni looks good. her regular art is not my thing.
Regular art is pretty bad
is was trying to be nice
🦊
that face is the stuff of nightmares
It's just neat how that's the same artist
ikr
👀
o/

lmao was gonna ask
Oh
that last stretch is always the worst
When will bisko come home.
im close to getting 70 for most of them
.. that was fast
kgv gonna be a bit longer cuz I just got her lol
I can MLB everyone except bisko right now.
kgv's barrage actually looks pretty nice
that and bullins
kgv is currently commission slave

she's a backliner. get her flagship mvp and she will level like crazy
very easy for her to catch up
echo is so adorable 
The E-class is grouped together with the F-class including Fortune and Foxhound
since they got introduced
@stuck copper : everyone is experiencing some pain.
i got everything to lvl 70 already, just waiting on gold and bulins now 

nice
Give me my bisko
the fucking sub equipment is MEGA grind and it sucks
echo's disappointed line is so cute 
I haven’t grinded for Sub shit in a long time.
miss me with that

i activated 8 signals yesterday. did 3 of them and forgot about the rest lol
something i find odd
in hard mode stages when it tells you what class to put
you dont have to
it lets you in anyway
Yeah.
After you clear the stage I think
oh
Maybe am wrong
i think you have to fill at least one spot for each, vanguard and main
it always tells me to fuck off when i don't
at least 1 makes sense
lets see if i can 2x 2:2 on d3
got my portrait frame. i don't want to flex or anything. just happy i finally made it.
now gtfo of my dorm lmao
ty
once i get mine i'm gonna spam so many emotes in chat
Just do an extinguisher
I keep copies of everything
Well, everything that I deem useful
So I'm never short of stuff to enhance
most of my gear is either +10 or +6 and i dont wanna enhance it further
Worst case, just enhance a potato gear and junk it later
that's a good idea actually
It's only a couple plates and a small amount of gold
@cosmic pier i dropped an emote in chat, but that's about it. I'm not looking for attention.
save them for when i get köln kai
@stuck copper : you don’t need to look for attention. But I’m game chat is ass either way.

judging by its quality, i guess flexing is the least annyoing thing you can do 
portrait frames: giving chat a purpose
I’d just drop a comment in there every now and then... like “what’s up nerds” or something like that I guess.

portrait frames are just a detailed plan on getting people to talk 
Just send the Sheffi gif
wont be even worth flexing after a while cause most people will have it

i wish you could see it on the main screen. it feels like a crappy reward.
TBH, it kind of is a crappy reward.
^
Like, I was looking at the border and gets rid of marriage borders... then it also eliminates a border portion.
So it just looks like someone cropped out a portion of it.
It’ll be cool to own... just to have the option there.
And being the very first one, on top of being event exclusive... getting it is worth in itself.
But... using it? I think I prefer the marriage border.

ya i prefer the ring border too 
I wish they made two versions to equip... one that looks the way it is for non-married ships, and one cropped in a way that it exposes the marriage ring border atop the new border.
Like, if you Equip it... it auto generates based on if you have a married ship or not.
Then it’d be beyond worth.

oh, well... i got faction points.
Nice.
I wonder when those skins will hit global
surely has to be soon
maybe this thursday?
I would imagine Thursday or Friday
tfw kgv is getting a skin instantly
They’re all done
The bismarck l2d is 1180 gems and helena + kgv 880 i bet
Just need Bisko.
and naisu
I need Bismarck's, KGV's, Ark's and Nimi's then I am happy
I’m only needing Helena’s
with my 45 oil fleet
owell id rather take it slower and get monarch to 100 affin/lvl 100
Ima take a short break from AL for a day or 2
I can’t afford to do that.
Getting a little burnt out tbh
Yea I'm lucky in that I have all the event ships
I will probably still run comms and classes but no missions
Aside from dailies
Yostar giving me kgv skin for my birthday when it’s my fav ship to be released in ages 
Love you too yo star
Oh nice, found Perma Waifu?
It’s a game of polygamy.
Neptune monarch and kgv are like my top 3
Like if I consider getting a body pillow of the character then I really like them
I definitely haven't been tempted to get a Hammann one
i want one of nicholas but i can't find any 
I found a really nice new one for Hammann the other day

Might get it if its available in a month

I want a
+
emote
make it for me @sour crescent

nah they'll do at most 1 more next hour then keep the rest for tomorrow
With how fast their being revealed atm
i bet its on thursday
they usually do thursday maint
guess they went like "fuck it we'll release the new ones now on en and on their anni just the normal anni skins"
also, is discord being laggy af or is it just me
my messages dont send half the time
also, is discord being laggy af or is it just me
my messages dont send half the time
I can't do edits ya nunce, I just crop existing images and make emotes from them
Discord is shitting the bed
my messages dont send half the time
I’m gonna start practicing drawing again.

Chibi Emotes I have on my roster....
#SayNoToUNIFBI
> 
xddddd
Deutschland Laugh, I13 Smug, Amagi Love, Nicholas Sleepy.
D0 is easy though as long as you have level 110s
nicholas is my spirit animal
Lies.
Nicholas Sleepy 
Dork is my spirit animal, getting drunk and getting laid (I do neither of those things hence why she is a spirit animal)

im sure her heart is big enough for both of us
Keep it up.
As expected the heavy mob fleet is just punching through everything

I need 800 dorm coins to finish the set
3:3s make everything a joke
ur a joke
no u
nou
I like “We Never Learn” emotes.
i need 2k
unless i whale that dorm pack

i won't make it in time
my spirit animol is prob tirpitz
ded inside and all that
except I dont got a vicky who tries making me not be a neet

Yeah, some guy on twitch was saying that he’s ashamed of you guys for being entitled assholes for not working hard for your dorm coins.
Don't mind us just running on 0 ammo
its not like they are farmable
His argument is that you have commissions to farm them.
i do these
you know
you always have the option to just shut up and not be an asshole
not directing this at anyone. just a general statement
whenever i get mad, i'm like "meh, whatever..."
What is that in reference too though, lmao.
Oh, it wasn’t a streamer. Should clarify. It was a guy in comments.
oh, okay. same principle applies tho.
He was like “It’s your fault for not having enough time to farm this shit 24/7”
just let people vent
Not trolling either.
It was surreal. He started from 0 coins this event and is going for the dorm set.
So let’s see if he manages to to do it, lolz
sounds like a mission
Javelin is just precious
i love that loading screen
Fun fact, that is the only bride skin I've used for more than a day
Discord is 🔥 right now

rei knows how it's done
"you know, i could do something nice for you, but it's not valentine's. cya later, bro!"

hey I help once in a blue moon
if I know there's someone else around who can answer the question I just usually throw a meme comment in and hope the other person answers

I think im going to get yorktown class and king george V’s skins
I think im going to get yorktown class and king george V’s skins
i only like nimi's along all of those

give kgv a kimono somewhat like PoW's and we're talkin

Helena (guaranteed), Bisko (sort of guaranteed), Shigure (considering), KGV (considering)
I wish the Spee skin was a Deutschland skin.
Aside from that, I guess I’m pretty much set.
if its all over 1.5k gems I probably am going to not get yorktown’s...
her base cg is already pretty
she's an elite, its not l2d, and has a background, gonna be something like 800
thats a lot..
Helena is gonna be about 800-880 I suspect.
thats a lot...
Need to save for AX.
KGV's would be around 900

me too
I’ll be content with just the Helena skin
and thats also a lot
you’re forgetting hornet
"that's a lot" ~bully target #4
Hornet may be around the same price as Helena.

Maybe even cheaper tbh.
well you said if its above 1.5k gems you probably aint gonna get 1 (here being yorktown) so like
in the end you're looking at ~1.7k gems anyway
even though I have 5k gems... im always still afraid to use them
if you want all 3 then you're looking at ~2.5k
Just settle for 1~2 and be content tbh
yorktown’s could get a pass, shes already wearing a pretty dress
hey atleast you get free gems for getting hoarded with random tech questions
most people dont got that

bugs and feedback
Whew


mfw i free labor
there's gonna be more party skins in like 2-3 months cause en anniversary
and we got a little thank you and it made my whole sick week ❤
mfw i free labor
how much was it btw?
there's gonna be more party skins in like 2-3 months cause en anniversary
lemme guess
how much was what?
2k?
the thank you for the UI update hoohah
mfw kawaa ran away 
For some reason ill gets auto c to I’ll
we dont know yet, its once a month and ours came already 
oh you meant the verbal one 
verbal assault 
y'all do good work 
thank you
we truly do our best under all that stress
Waiting for a few more days to pass just rolling every chance I get for that sweet 5:59
I got a 5:50 yesterday and I got so tilted.
2~3 days will cut it close.
But it’s possible to get her to 70

inb4 whale and still misses
I literally refreshed twitter just as AL posted that...
Posted what.
weird..
looks like dork 
Oh, that KGV skin is very nice.

Too bad probably not worth for me.
just buy them all 
not a fan of formal dresses that much
That dork skin really isn’t too great in my eyes.
I am a very formal person rei... no wonder you bully me 
yeah me too... its not my wifi confirmed yaaay
it is your wifi
God the Helena skins are my favorite.
your wifi is breaking discord
I am a very formal person rei... no wonder you bully me 
I’d use data and be fine with that 
Discord is bugging out on my end too.


Maybe buying that Nitro yesterday finally killed the camel.
I didn’t either until yesterday.
I gave it to my boyfriend
Awe, so sweet.
Lol, too many subscription services nowadays.
I didnt need it so I wanted to give it to him and during that time, he introduced me to many gfl emotes
Ohhhhhhh, maybe I should draw some GFL emotes too.
get some AL ones in too and make them emotes in the server 
I’ll be starting them up soon. Was gonna look into making commissioned Twitch Emotes.
Maybe to earn a little more money ya know, lmao.
But I’ll be doing some fun ones for discord.
AL, GFL, We Never Learn, Etc
Are what I have in my mind.
good luck!

Almost time to grab and bag

whos this 
I used to have ntw maid chibi gif as my lock screen
Whose this? The same person I’ve always been

sigruna
sorry im not good with names
I thought it was evileye
Yes it is


oh!
Hai domo
then hello 
I think I’ll Whale about 5 days till even end
Because that seems like enough for a safety margin to get bisko and get her to 70
you and your edgeprise
you can level 70 a bote in 1 day
me?
no i cant 
how
solo dorm + all the 3 exp foods + take em to high worlds for the flag exp and after they get some levels just take em to a lower ish map they can reliably get mvp in
My baby look fierce man. What can I say?
I like that look compared to the one we got now.
same
🤔 i see
So the sooner we get her in retro the better
id have to spend gems on the xp food tho
give her as a separate bote kty
Won’t ever use a bb again till iowa when it happens
i dont have full course or those other things
some people just stack those things from shop forever till they get a bote they wanna use it on
and people like me just use em as everyday food

ah
Also if we keep adding these lolis of adult boats
Get me adult unicorn
OwO
there's an adult unicorn in that randomass game they had a collab with sometime
and a loli trashprise

She’s so smug
I think I will always have beef with that image
hard to imagine an adult mutsu when you've seen the pre rework mutsu
I think "adult mutsu" and instead of thinking of the current mutsu adultified I think of the pre rew
Oh?
hm?
Pre rew?
rework
before they scrapped the original mutsu and made her a loli
ya aint seen that?

as a wiki member, im ashamed to say I havent 

you've surely seen her in one of the loading screens
there's one with eldridge or whoever loli it is
they're fighting over some beef
I dont believe I have
ooh if it's banned i have to see it now
Seen what
what rei screenshotted
its been hidden
that amagi nor cal screen
ive never seen it on JP!
💦
so its ded

kek
What the fuck.
Looks nice
Lmao. I thought it was about Mutsuki as well
So why did I get a downgrade?
I really like original Mutsu more
wasnt playing the game back in the day
i can't find that eldridge loading screen 
thank you! I feel at ease knowing im not the only one who mixes up mutsu and mutsuki
also, that mutsu was never implemented
Long as they don’t do it on anyone else
none of you nerds remember mutsu anyway
I’m not complaining
my lock screen is literally mutsu 
I don’t think they will.
Oh
I think quality control of art in AL is watertight for the most part.
AL art is indeed excellent
says try again because to screenshot I use a finger thats not my "ID" finger 
LOL

Yeah my art isn’t of al in my lock screen
Neither of my lock or home are AL
Thanks
I expected everyone to have android
Yikes
i prefer to hide my degeneracy

are we sharing phone pics?
Wallpapers ig
i have sirius
Oh damn 99°
Rip
damn water boiling temperature
u must be dead
@dense wing 
I was just showing my lock screen since it was mutsu since rei said no one cares about mutsu 
I wonder if iOS 13 or whatever is going to catch up with Android
@dense wing : that’s my favorite character of all time.
Is that ancient Android I see

Not Mutsu, my loading screen

it doesnt look that old
ohh
C.C and Taiga right
Are you Sirius
those are some big eyes
what do u mean overhauls
those are normal size anime eyes tho
off-center shakes with cold sweat
@oblique mantle : nice GFL
i know its off centre my phone wallpaper setting is shit :(
I gotta rep team defy, since I’m defiant

Yes

It is a gfl thing
Sometimes I want to roll back to older Galaxies since they don't have the fucking Bixby button
i just avoid samsung entirely
Same
Smh
I’ve always had shitty luck with Samsung
other brands exist u know
You can't avoid Samsung since your phones probably use Samsung displays 
Too many waifus now
Probably.
I'm not particularly attached to it but it's what I've had so 
Personally I'd want a P30 Pro or Pixel buuuut
I would like a non-Apple phone at some point.
P30 is out the window since haha sanctions
And Pixel is ugly
and samsung and iphone isnt?
with that shitty notch in the top of the screen?
i absolutely despise that garbage
i like my pixel 
Their phone designs are much prettier imo
The S10 (not plus) is actually nutty
the notch is a mistake
my shipfus are so cute
and i hate them for getting rid of 3.5mm jacks

iPhone X is less so since it just feels fat but it's fine
@warm bluff found it 
i dont want to use your trashy earphone air pod things
Just use Powerbeats
They're actually good
We’ve gotten rid of the headphone jack... we’ve gotten rid of the home button... next, we’ll get rid of the physical device.
whatever those are

i want to use my headset
powerbeats are great for working out
Play AL in VR
