it certainly doesnt help that some of the people that write these things know what they're doing

so when you read it, it often feels very accurate and believable

A lot like some other things I was forced into from birth

Minus the credibility anyways

[cosmic pier]

since if you know someones zodiac, then you know whereabouts someone was bon

[wintry sonnet]

[somber halo]

age is just a number

[cosmic pier]

your mom is just a man

[somber halo]

[wintry sonnet]

"The girls at that Gym all turned me away for some reason, though..." - Brock

[somber halo]

how come brock never flexes that he used to be a gym leader

[wintry sonnet]

ever wonder why, if they're called pokemon gyms, there's never any gym equipment in there

[somber halo]

i thought the gym terrain was the equipment

[wintry sonnet]

if it's about the terrain, why even build a gym in the first place

just go outside

[stuck copper]

[somber halo]

[dense wing]

I know all their ages if that counts frayya

[somber halo]

gotta waif em all

i am interested in how chinese zodiac compatibility even works

[dense wing]

as for their birthdays, I dont think we ever touched that

2 people came together and decided this is compatible with that

the end

[somber halo]

my zodiac sign is probably one of the least compatible ones out of most ppl i get to know of

[wintry sonnet]

zodiac compatibility?

do I need to read some troubleshooting guide

[somber halo]

nah, i get too bored often and read too much

[wintry sonnet]

should I turn it off and on

[dense wing]

I dont know about my compatibility or anything, I did when I was maybe 10, but that information has left my brain

[somber halo]

its best if you never find out

[cosmic pier]

borin shite

[somber halo]

well ya kno

[wintry sonnet]

I miss the old times when a friend borrowed me a game on a floppy

[wintry sonnet]

im always one of the oldest

[stuck copper]

I'm older

[cosmic pier]

hi older

im dad

[somber halo]

the cut off date for america i believe is december 9th

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

well, in my case I started school 1 year earlier

[somber halo]

i too started school 1 year earlier

[dense wing]

classes where I live are cut off after aug

[stuck copper]

Idk my cutoff date

[wintry sonnet]

since school year starts in September, but if you're born between september and december, you can start education 1 year earlier

[dense wing]

my friend was born 2 weeks early on aug 28th so that she wasnt put into the next school year

so she is pretty much the youngest person in my grade

[somber halo]

wow

[stuck copper]

[somber halo]

but yeah

last year my birthday

[stuck copper]

wait

[dense wing]

1 year earlier, that would be nice

[stuck copper]

so if I'm older

kawa must call me senpai

[dense wing]

instead I turned 6 while all my kindergarten peers were 5

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

[wintry sonnet]

how old are you even yama

[dense wing]

must I, or is that what you want

[stuck copper]

take a guess

[wintry sonnet]

29?

[dense wing]

also I thought we always established I was younger

[somber halo]

wat

i was 4 in kindergarten

[stuck copper]

close but no cigar

[dense wing]

you saw me in 5th grade?

really frayya?

[wintry sonnet]

close as in more or less

[dense wing]

that must be nice

[stuck copper]

less duuh

[dense wing]

less

[wintry sonnet]

well

that sucks, kouhai

[somber halo]

maybe

[dense wing]

my state requires you to be at least 5 to be in kindergarten

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

I was in preschool for 2 years

[somber halo]

when i graduated high school, i was still 17, so i couldnt do a bunch of stuff for a while after i got out

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

its not funny lila

[wintry sonnet]

you guys happen to have your first memory from childhood be really weird

[somber halo]

preschool is only for rich people here

[dense wing]

my files did leave my steam folder 🤔

[somber halo]

yes

it wasnt very nice

[wintry sonnet]

cause the first time my brain went online, I was standing in my pajamas inside my mom's flower shop

[dense wing]

my first memory? no idea

[somber halo]

it was NSFW

[wintry sonnet]

they never explained what the fuck was going on

[somber halo]

i think i was 3

[dense wing]

I have many memories from when I was 3 though

[stuck copper]

my memories are all a blur

[dense wing]

cause u are an old man

[somber halo]

i recall being too short to sit on the toilet to poop

so i pooped on the ground

[dense wing]

[stuck copper]

that space is occupied by langauges

[dense wing]

omg..

that is not what I expected frayya

[somber halo]

my first day of kindergarten

cried all day

[wintry sonnet]

that's a pretty unfortunate moment for your brain to go online

[somber halo]

first time being separated from family

[dense wing]

my parents said I ran off lol

[somber halo]

being the first child, parent had no idea wtf to do

[dense wing]

my first day of kindergarten I looked back but I did not cry or run to them

or so ive heard

[wintry sonnet]

dont remember much from kindergarten

[dense wing]

I dont know if my first memory is playing games when I was a baby or going to daycare

[somber halo]

also got scolded a lot for not finishing my food

[wintry sonnet]

only thing I recall was that at some point we were taking part in tap dancing classes

for what reason, I've no clue

[somber halo]

so i was forced to sit at the table until it was all done

[dense wing]

ok it was playing games, because when I was in daycare we moved homes and that was much later in my life

[somber halo]

kawa playing games as a baby

is it destiny

[dense wing]

I do remember my neighbor across the street had all sorts of exotic animals

sometimes he'd take his iguana out and let us play with him

[somber halo]

[dense wing]

my first memory of playing a game was maybe smash bros melee

[wintry sonnet]

all I remember about my neighbour is he had an amiga 500

[dense wing]

on a gamecube or a n64, one of those things

[wintry sonnet]

which ended up becoming mine at some point

[somber halo]

i feel old now

[wintry sonnet]

I played the heck out of Cannon Fodder and Benefactor on it

good times

[dense wing]

I also oddly remember going to my brother's friend's house
he was playing skate? skate something
and one of the characters was the burger king mascot
though im not sure what im remembering xd

[somber halo]

i wanna say tony hawk

[dense wing]

probably

had to google amiga 500
ive seen them but I must have forgot the name

[wintry sonnet]

amiga was what saved atari from dying at one point

great piece of hardware

[cosmic pier]

amigo

[somber halo]

i too had to look this up

[cosmic pier]

atari pepehands

[somber halo]

now i feel too young

[wintry sonnet]

for me it was the bridge between the Atari 2600 and NES and PC

[cosmic pier]

AtaRei

[wintry sonnet]

amusingly for me nobody in my neighborhood had a commodore 64

even tho it was the second most popular thing in Poland at the time

and I like in an area with 4 blocks of flats

so that's a fuckton of neighbours

[dense wing]

also I'll have you know aquan I make the best ladies with ears and tails in tera

[cosmic pier]

you mean best lolis

[wintry sonnet]

If you consider Elin to be ladies

you'd be a big fan of Akatsuki in KC

[dense wing]

I call everyone a lady thats a woman

[cosmic pier]

hibikiiiii

[somber halo]

what is a woman

[wintry sonnet]

it's a firmware upgrade to a girl

[cosmic pier]

creatures that dont exist on the internet

duh

[stuck copper]

elephant af

[cosmic pier]

kawa is an elephant

[wintry sonnet]

I think I remember what my Tera character was

[somber halo]

its been too long for me

[wintry sonnet]

it was an archer girl

uhh

[dense wing]

elephant?!

[somber halo]

i want irl again

[wintry sonnet]

what was that demon rockstar race?

[cosmic pier]

i remember what my tera char was like

she was nonexistent

[wintry sonnet]

Capuletti, Carpaccio

[dense wing]

this is on my new main server ❤ lady in the middle has been with me since 2015 and she is my online persona

demon rockstar?

[wintry sonnet]

ah, Castanic

[dense wing]

sounds a lot like blackrock shooter

[cosmic pier]

who's the middle when there's only 4

[somber halo]

i went to peet's earlier today and ordered a chorizo flatbread

[cosmic pier]

the patch of grass?

[stuck copper]

lolis

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

lolis everywhere

[somber halo]

the girl there wrote my name on the bag with a star next to it

i think im hallucinating

[dense wing]

someone stole my satisfying username so I havent logged on in a long while

onto that server at least

[somber halo]

i sense a pattern in kawa's char creation

[wintry sonnet]

fun fact about tera

if a character's got too much clothing on them

you know it's a low lvl armor

[dense wing]

hmmm

im not sure thats aged well aquan

[stuck copper]

when i played tera, i was all elins too lmao

[wintry sonnet]

I remember Tera was notorious for high lvl armors being like a a string and two tea plates

[dense wing]

tera has evolved to be you need ass loads of gold

so people with high gear are also people with too much ingame money to spend on costume

[wintry sonnet]

that said, Tera was pretty fun to play

[somber halo]

do ppl intentionally wear mismatched outfits for min/maxing stats there too?

[dense wing]

@somber halo whats the pattern?

[wintry sonnet]

it's not the traditional MMO RPG style "click on enemy and then faceroll your keyboard"

it was more of a brawler-type

and the fighting had alot of weight behind it

[dense wing]

all endgame gear is a set, so its only mix match if you cant afford to upgrade to the same set

[cosmic pier]

isnt that 'fun fact' bout like all mmos

[wintry sonnet]

wouldn't know, I only ever played Guild Wars, Tera and Tibia

[somber halo]

@dense wing

[wintry sonnet]

not much of an mmo guy

[dense wing]

what is it!

[somber halo]

they're all short

[wintry sonnet]

well ye they're Elin

[dense wing]

i was thinking of 10% a day was managable..

[verbal obsidian]

can i get a pepe hands in the chat pls

[somber halo]

monarch and izumo are faster than the rest

[raw cape]

[wintry sonnet]

pepe hands

[somber halo]

cause flagship and mvp

[wintry sonnet]

[verbal obsidian]

[raw cape]

oh ok

[wintry sonnet]

yeah backliners in first PR are much faster to level

since flags get bonus exp

[raw cape]

ill keep that in mind and do those first then

[wintry sonnet]

also they're both battleships so it's easy to MVP

[somber halo]

also forever grinding 9-4 since march minus the major events

[raw cape]

[somber halo]

niizuki

[raw cape]

[verbal obsidian]

[somber halo]

[somber halo]

[verbal obsidian]

dumpling twins deserve levels

[wintry sonnet]

[verbal obsidian]

[somber halo]

im scared of ch 12

[raw cape]

[wintry sonnet]

I got 3 missing ones building Centaur

[raw cape]

im gonna try hard to get centaur she gud

[wintry sonnet]

she's a lie

[raw cape]

i heard she real good

[wintry sonnet]

but she's got better stats than almost all CVs

[raw cape]

[wintry sonnet]

too bad you almost never can use cvl in hard mode

reeeee

[raw cape]

://////

[wintry sonnet]

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

h

[somber halo]

okay guys, i know its been a couple hours but i think im making some progress

[verbal obsidian]

[cosmic pier]

that's more gold than the amount of moms you got

[violet shard]

[cosmic pier]

y'all just asking for azu to come flex

[ornate mantle]

Nothing much atm.

I can’t even collect all my coins.

From mail.

Because a lot of it is tied to Oil too

I’ve admittedly been really stagnant in AL for a while.

Just busy with other things.

[stuck copper]

Azu.

being busy

[verbal obsidian]

same azu same

Work and irl doesnt let me play

I missed my first event Ship ever just this last event

[stuck copper]

first ever? lucky

sad!

rate up is a lie, we all know this

[wintry sonnet]

I'm released from 11-2

[verbal obsidian]

[cosmic pier]

sad

you left agony

[clear gate]

@wintry sonnet congrats

[wintry sonnet]

it's fine

there's entirety of chapter 12 now to agonize over

also danke, revy

[cosmic pier]

its like 2 rare botes

rare botes are easy

[clear gate]

I need to go back there after I finish my ch12 journey

[cosmic pier]

they're only rare

[clear gate]

@cosmic pier Choukai

[cosmic pier]

riiiight?

[wintry sonnet]

Of course

[clear gate]

U forgot lol

[cosmic pier]

not really

[wintry sonnet]

if there's one thing I'm confident in it's getting rares to drop

[cosmic pier]

i was emphasizing on the rare botes

[wintry sonnet]

it's not like I took almost 2 weeks to farm Isuzu

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

and almost finished 2 prinz guns during that

[stuck copper]

i got choukai today

[clear gate]

I have had pretty good rare drop luck

[stuck copper]

redemption from dropping 100 cubes and no centaur

[cosmic pier]

pls
i made 4 100mms before 1 niizucc

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

Sendai came home in 3 runs, before I finished clearing

That was really good

[wintry sonnet]

didnt have any luck with chapter 11

all 3 ships took ridiculous amounts of farming

the fastest i've gone so far was chapter 10

mostly because I had St Louis prior to that from construction and Honolulu + Jintsuu took less than 20 runs each

well, I still have 15k oil to run

I guess I'll at least wipe out 12-1

[stuck copper]

I got Columbia before even 3 starring 11-4

[wintry sonnet]

that said I haven't really considered what fleet I'm gonna throw at it

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

what do cool kids use on chapter 12

like a battleship healer cvl repairship backline for trash?

[stuck copper]

at least one AR for the extra AA gun

[wintry sonnet]

any burn damage spam from ijn lolis I should watch out for?

[stuck copper]

that backline sounds solid, yes

burn damage isn't much of an issue. it's all planes.

[wintry sonnet]

good

means I can finally put this stuff to use

[stuck copper]

put them on your AR

[cosmic pier]

wao

purple ones, uhh...

ok I got 6 of them

no money or plates to upgrade them tho, so I guess +6 will have to suffice

[stuck copper]

+6 is enough

if you go with a full usa vanguard, you won't need to stack as much

but i think you should play it safe at first

[clear gate]

Yeah that should be fine

[wintry sonnet]

full usa vanguard

[verbal obsidian]

[wintry sonnet]

ok, I gotchu fam

I kinda realised I'm short on choices for USA ships

[clear gate]

I used this mob fleet

[stuck copper]

it's really just a matter of bringing enough AA to deal with the planes. if you do that, it's arguably easier than w10 and w11 when they first came out

[wintry sonnet]

wait, is this for donger level 0 or did you use that during clears

[stuck copper]

aquan is still clearing

[clear gate]

O

[wintry sonnet]

yea I haven't cracked ch 12 open yet

[clear gate]

For safe, but it's very stable

[wintry sonnet]

I just finished up with 11

[clear gate]

Just add more ships to frontline and it should be ok

[stuck copper]

just bring that AR. that second gun helps a lot

[wintry sonnet]

well AR's a given

Frank Vestal needs more action

[clear gate]

Norcal is great, planes are ash before her

[wintry sonnet]

she's covered wars you know

so I heard but I never got to levelling her up

[stuck copper]

i agree

norcal has tons of AA

i use her in my farming fleet

[clear gate]

I like that my ch12 farming mob fleet has a historically accurate backline

[wintry sonnet]

ok, I'm starting to see the problem

I levelled up fuck all in terms of AA battleships

[clear gate]

Lmao

Level 100 Norcal might be ok actually

On safe

[wintry sonnet]

this is my first run on ch 12 so everything's full power

[stuck copper]

i don't know about the default difficulty, but 100 norcal is viable on safe

[wintry sonnet]

any suicide boats?

[clear gate]

Nah

[wintry sonnet]

on danger 0 or just any danger

[clear gate]

No suicide botes, legit

[stuck copper]

i can only confirm 0 danger

[clear gate]

Just planes for days

[wintry sonnet]

oh

hm

[clear gate]

Doesn't surprise me much

She's very stable for me

[wintry sonnet]

well, if I throw Vestal and a decent AA carrier, I suppose that'll work

[stuck copper]

there are some BBs that snipe her, but AR repair kits may be enough to keep her alive, depending on the amount of BB nodes you tackle

[wintry sonnet]

oof

[clear gate]

Just... avoid 3* main fleets lol

Unless going for 3 stars

[wintry sonnet]

ideally i wanna get the 3*s out of the way asap

since it's 12-1

[stuck copper]

plus, you have vestal

[wintry sonnet]

no reason to stay your welcome there

[clear gate]

Do manual play to maximize your chances then

[wintry sonnet]

anything special for boss?

[stuck copper]

yes

the one in 12-4 hits like a truck

[clear gate]

The one in 12-4 is withering

[wintry sonnet]

the 12-1 tho?

[stuck copper]

i didn't notice anything special about the other three

[clear gate]

However, 12-4 boss is completely autoable once you drop to medium danger and below

just use a bulky 3:3 fleet

[wintry sonnet]

I mean I'm not gonna go for full clear just yet

just as far as I need to dip below cap

dont wanna blow my oil out right before the evnet

[clear gate]

I use an IJN fleet for 12-4 boss

The bad AA that's characteristic of IJN isn't too bad, since it's only doing one fight

[stuck copper]

you dont need to consider AA at all

[clear gate]

I do take a buttload of damage

[stuck copper]

just bring a lot of firepower and nuke them down

and for 12-4: dodge

[wintry sonnet]

oh, dont need the AA for boss?

ok that makes it easier

[stuck copper]

there are planes, and they hurt

but it's only one fight

you can take it

the only thing i have to look out for is my vanguard

[clear gate]

Yep, boss doesn't need AA. You will likely walk out having taken heavy damage, but since it's one fight it's irrelevant

[wintry sonnet]

hm, I guess I can just go tried and true then

if it ain't broke, don't fix it

[dense wing]

🐰

[stuck copper]

hope you don't time out

[clear gate]

For my IJN 12-4 boss, I use a Nagamagi core with an additional DPS-dealing backline, and Yukikaze + Jintsuu + Eldridge frontline

[wintry sonnet]

oh, is timing out a thing?

uhh, right,maybe I'll bring in the duke instead of lusty then

[stuck copper]

for S rank, it may

duke instead of QE?

[clear gate]

Yukikaze's bulk + Nagamagi buffs holds the frontline together really well

[stuck copper]

yeah, QE really has no place there with that vanguard

[clear gate]

^

[stuck copper]

h

[wintry sonnet]

wouldn't queenie help out hood and dork dropping the dmg?

[stuck copper]

so does dork with her debuff

if you have her

[clear gate]

Also QE does that is exchange for herself not contributing to much DPS

[wintry sonnet]

well yea but a buff + a debuff = double the numbers

not really but you know

[clear gate]

I personally wouldn't use QE without a largely HMS frontline

[stuck copper]

we're just giving our opinions. if you want to roll with QE, by all means, do it

if it works, it works

[wintry sonnet]

well, I'm mostly looking at the fact that they've got the level advantage

so it should balance out

[stuck copper]

sounds reasonable

[clear gate]

It's not by coincidence that my 12-4 boss fleet is quite similar to my PvP fleet

Except that I invert the order of the frontline

[wintry sonnet]

right, can we just, get off 12-4 for a second

I keep having to mention I'm only just going into 12-1

[clear gate]

Ok but can we talk about how good Nagamagi is though

[stuck copper]

they're all the same, except 12-4 hits a lot harder

[clear gate]

I don't either

because it is forgettable

[wintry sonnet]

by the time I go to 12-4, I'll already have my KMS fleet ready most likely

[clear gate]

12-4 is Choukai and Maya

[stuck copper]

right

choukai is stationary, maya orbits around her

[clear gate]

12-3 is Hiyou and Junyou I believe

Choukai is a brick with a 100-layer health bar

[stuck copper]

i found it pretty tight without clearing mode

with regards to s rank

[clear gate]

It was a little tight for me too

[stuck copper]

and you really want to s-rank that thing

please, my immature mind can only take so much more

[wintry sonnet]

oh

we're starting off with 6 mobs required to spawn boss

[stuck copper]

right

[clear gate]

Yeah, that shouldn't be surprising

[stuck copper]

another reason to bring an AR

[clear gate]

since ch11 is like that too

[wintry sonnet]

well at least 12-1 is a no brainer

just park the boss at H4 and go wild

[clear gate]

And yeah, another reason to bring the AR. And also another reason to bring SG Radar so you don't bomb on an ambush

[stuck copper]

for the love of god, bring an SG radar

[clear gate]

Not like you need another reason to bring SG

[wintry sonnet]

I dont remember ever not having an SG radar on someone

[stuck copper]

i took mine off because i had the PR one, but it doesn't have ambush reduction

i got so mad when i had to do 8 fights + boss

never again

SG radar best equipment

[wintry sonnet]

uh, just for future reference

PR AA guns are basically priority to equip right?

and then 113mm and then broforce and whatnot

[stuck copper]

haven't looked into them. i used bofors and staag

when that world came out, i didn't have anything ready

and i honestly don't care anymore

gear guide says staag for BBs, roombas for ships with high efficiency, rest bofors

ymmv

huh

rip

it's a stat stick

the effect is definitely junk

[wintry sonnet]

uh, any point in giving AA radar to the carrier

[stuck copper]

yes

no

[wintry sonnet]

so just catapults

[stuck copper]

yes

all catapults

those slots are too valuable

[wintry sonnet]

ok, I think I got something whipped up

let's see how it goes

but dem I really need to push for some more AA backliners

[stuck copper]

who is an AA backline besides like Norcal

[clear gate]

Any carrier with fighters
Any AR

[stuck copper]

eagle union ships are notorious for having high AA

washington has 368 on 100

[wintry sonnet]

... wait, what

[stuck copper]

not all of them though

time to finally put her to use

in like weeks

[wintry sonnet]

were CL guns always lower range than DD guns?

[stuck copper]

depends on the gun, i think

[clear gate]

Depends on which ones we're comparing. But the commonly-used high tier CL guns have less range than the commonly-used high tier DD guns

[stuck copper]

why tho

[wintry sonnet]

[clear gate]

A big, noticeable exception is the Research gun, the triple 152mm Mk XXV

with 60 range, equal to that of the DD guns

[wintry sonnet]

I have never even noticed that, I was just going through the stuff to equip and I put the 138mm as a meme on QE, then moved back to Belgun and was like "Wait, Belgun has 10 less range? nani"

[clear gate]

but yeah it's not something I really paid attention to

[stuck copper]

single 127mm has 60

[wintry sonnet]

ok, this is somewhat ass-backwards

[clear gate]

138.6mm, and USN single and twin 127mm, have 60 range

Twin 120mm and 100mm have 45

and most of the CL guns have 50

[wintry sonnet]

actually...

12-1 boss is Myoukou

THATS A NON-LIGHT ARMOR

Where's muh AP guns

HULK SMASHHH

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

The BL 6" Mk XXV and the 6"/47 Mk 16 have 60 range, the best range of the relevant CL guns. There are a couple of entirely irrelevant guns with 65 range

[wintry sonnet]

o

got a cube commi again

will it be 15th 5cube in a row

[clear gate]

But basically

just use Mk XXV and you never have to worry about range being worse than a DD

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

I dunno why but I always thought DD guns are like 40 range

but the fact that the 2 most usable ones are all 60 range just seems weird

you'd think higher caliber would mean higher range

[clear gate]

I always figured 60 was normal for DD guns

Nah that depends on the size of the gun as well and whatnot

Battleship guns have extreme range not necessarily because they have big rounds, but because there's a lot of power in the guns, and the gun barrels are very long

DD guns are small, but their projectiles are small too and it doesn't take much force to launch them far

Honestly IDK if the AL ranges are accurate to how these guns really perform lol, I'm just noting that caliber =/= range

[stuck copper]

it only makes sense to me that larger/heavier bullets drop off faster

[clear gate]

Imagine trying to launch a BB shell without much power lol

A BB shell weighs about one ton

[wintry sonnet]

well, let's see how this goes

[stuck copper]

the amount of force required to get those off the ground is insane

and we use that stuff to shoot other people. kinda sad.

[clear gate]

A Fletcher-class destroyer weighs 2050 tons (US tons, a bit less than a metric tonne)

[wintry sonnet]

15% hp reduction Feelsgoodman

they're doing effectively an equivalent of a BB shell to Takao

ok, I've definitely overkilled it lol

that chinaball damage spread tho

if you were digging all the way down
