[ornate mantle]

Wait when you said Osoooooooi I imagined Duetshcland.

[stuck copper]

imagine putting your fps counter in the upper left corner

[wintry sonnet]

Restart ojii-san taking 2 years to kill her

[tough burrow]

still not enough for border btw

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

lemme go get hyuuga and roon leveled then we talk

[ornate mantle]

Oh shit, lol.

[warm bluff]

[stuck copper]

I'll wait for reset

then try again

[warm bluff]

use DDs to get enough speed to dodge essex bullets

[stuck copper]

fuck essex

i was looking at my screen when Minnie had like 80% HP left

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

im gonna guess the autobattle saw a yummy Jintsuu torp thing

[wintry sonnet]

oh, you're autobattling boss

[stuck copper]

since my DDs ended the battle like unscathed

so uh

[ornate mantle]

Do you not have Jintsuu yet.

[tough burrow]

nvm

hiei is a pushover

[stuck copper]

i was spamming 8-4 for daily clears

[tough burrow]

[warm bluff]

[tough burrow]

here you go you scrub

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

wait

you get 2007 points for taking 1:20m?

[tough burrow]

as you can see

or you think I rigged it lol?

[stuck copper]

you probably rigged it

smh

[wintry sonnet]

I want a fuckign refund

you only get 300 points for being 40 second faster

[stuck copper]

sad!

[wintry sonnet]

also what happend to :angryqueen:

[warm bluff]

[tough burrow]

it was renamed on someones request

[wintry sonnet]

oh

fair enough

thought it was removed to add yet another akagi emote

[warm bluff]

speaking of emotes, who drew this cute albacore?

[stuck copper]

[solar fjord]

rigged

[ornate mantle]

[warm bluff]

[stuck copper]

@tough burrow rigged

rigged

[warm bluff]

ridged

[tough burrow]

:AlbaSalute: speaking of emotes, who drew this cute albacore?

reverse search doesn't give anything since it's cropped

[warm bluff]

[wintry sonnet]

makina9696

that's the artist name

[warm bluff]

[tough burrow]

sasuga aq

[wintry sonnet]

dont need reverse search when you can just type albacore + salute in danbooru

[stuck copper]

[warm bluff]

oooh you're right i found it

[tough burrow]

right, danbooru
I decided to google it and obviously found nothing

[warm bluff]

it wasn't on pixiv so i assumed it was gone forever

wait

[wintry sonnet]

yea, reverse search won't give you anything since it's heavily cropped out

[warm bluff]

no i'm just blind

[tough burrow]

It is on pixiv

[wintry sonnet]

image search won't give you shit in that scenario

[warm bluff]

it is on pixiv

[wintry sonnet]

yea, booru sources pixiv

just fyi, his pixiv's not exactly family-friendly

[stuck copper]

who cares about family friendliness tho

[warm bluff]

oh i guess i'm not looking at it then

[dense wing]

if you arent logged on you will not see nsfw art

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

also pixiv is a lot less specific

searching albacore (アズールレーン）and salute will get you literally nothing prob

artists just tend to tag the series and character and leave it be

[tough burrow]

ye, that's why he searched on booru

[warm bluff]

good thing i definitely dont have a pixiv account so i wont see lewds

[dense wing]

though I understand, I'd hate having to add 50 tags to my art

[wintry sonnet]

yeah I literally said I search it on danbooru and grabbed the source link from there

bakaakari

[dense wing]

wow you totally didnt say that earlier

I was just saying pixiv wouldnt help u even if you tried

[warm bluff]

that albacore is super cute though

[tough burrow]

she is in general

[warm bluff]

[wintry sonnet]

no she's not

she's banned from this server

[tough burrow]

because we cannot handle how cute she is

it's too dangerous

[warm bluff]

she even has a cute tiny gun on her armband

[wintry sonnet]

unless your name is Nimi

then you can post all the albacores you want

[tough burrow]

[warm bluff]

[dense wing]

thats my favorite version of albacore

dinner

[wintry sonnet]

KR version's superior to that one

[dense wing]

I love kr's version

its so funny

I wonder if the chibi is opaque as well

[stuck copper]

picture for ants

[dense wing]

right

[tough burrow]

I just now realized that Akashi's AzurCon skin has lines

[warm bluff]

if someone mods the game to uncensor albacore, is that bannable?

[tough burrow]

and I forgot how cute she is

[dense wing]

I dont believe it is

[tough burrow]

modifying game assets is bannable, yes

[dense wing]

because android users on cn uncensor cn iirc

wow they should get danned

[tough burrow]

Pretty sure it is at least

[wintry sonnet]

I think the correct wording is

"we reserve the right to ban that person"

[dense wing]

and ik people who have changed nagato and mutsu to be their original art

[tough burrow]

well, obviously they not gonna hunt those people

[wintry sonnet]

decensor patch

[warm bluff]

they probably need to say that for legal reasons or something but wont enforce it

[stuck copper]

bruh moment

[dense wing]

that'd be kind of silly

[wintry sonnet]

dafuq

what is there to decensor

[warm bluff]

[tough burrow]

that's from even before came out

and it even says "there's nothing to decensor, so no"

[dense wing]

the whole DONT CENSOR MY GAME IM FROM AMERICA >:( FREEDOM

[stuck copper]

i wonder why people bother censoring shit in NA releases of anime games

[tough burrow]

and it was during whole "REEEE GFL is censored" meltdown

[dense wing]

yeah

great

[warm bluff]

it's not the censorship i'm worried about, i just wanna see cute ships

[stuck copper]

pretty sure its obvious by now that horny NA gamer boys outnumber the Karens from like when Mortal Kombat first came out

[dense wing]

fire emblem was censored, but thats ok

[tough burrow]

Ina, Albacore is not censored on EN

[dense wing]

the feature was kind of weird, not my cup of tea

[wintry sonnet]

Nobody said it was ok tho

[tough burrow]

that's from KR server

[warm bluff]

ya i know, i was just thinking of the KR thing

[stuck copper]

idc about face petting but stuff like character lines and stuff

kinda dumb tbh

[warm bluff]

albacore is cute

[wintry sonnet]

except for puritan ladies going through menopause, nobody was happy with the censorship

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

I personally dont care about censorship

[ornate mantle]

Basically yeah. Censorship is bogus.

[dense wing]

I just dont understand why they would want it if it wasnt for legal reasons

[stuck copper]

its just annoying

[wintry sonnet]

Because muhh virtue

would be one reason

[stuck copper]

doesnt bother me too much but it shows companies being out of touch with what people want

[dense wing]

[ornate mantle]

Because for thuh kids.

[stuck copper]

people want their anime tiddies, otherwise they wouldnt be buying those fucking games

[tough burrow]

I mean, I know some people having a meltdown over Honkai being censored while all they did is removed touch feature.
And like
It's weird that they removed it
but at the same time
?????????????????????

[wintry sonnet]

more specifically avoiding dealing with the muhh virtue people

[dense wing]

im sure azur lane knows exactly what audience theyre dealing with though lila

[ornate mantle]

I remember that one stupid bitch who complained about the Illustrious Loading screen.

[dense wing]

given they give us fan service ships all the time

[stuck copper]

im speaking mostly other peeps

[ornate mantle]

So they took it off.

[stuck copper]

who complained about Lusty loading screen

[warm bluff]

wasn't that the artist or something?

[ornate mantle]

Some soccermom sipping on wine.

[dense wing]

I remember when they removed the illy login screen

[stuck copper]

bro...

[dense wing]

it was a shame

it was beautiful art

its totally not my wallpaper rn

[stuck copper]

removing touch? burn the heretics

[wintry sonnet]

it's not about just the audience kawaa

[ornate mantle]

No, it wasn't the artist.

[tough burrow]

what loading screen?

[stuck copper]

Which login screen?

[wintry sonnet]

when I say muhh virtue, I'm talking the kinds of people who dont care about the game at all, but screech at it being sexist just to score brownie points

[stuck copper]

that one

[wintry sonnet]

I know a couple JP studios who went on record saying they purposely modify their games before releasing in west

[dense wing]

this if this is what azu is talking about

[wintry sonnet]

just so they can avoid dealing with nonsense like that

[stuck copper]

oho

[ornate mantle]

Ah Kawa got it.

[tough burrow]

removing touch? burn the heretics
eh, it's like
funny first time you do
then you try it out on several girls
then you forget it even existed

[stuck copper]

@dense wing nice

[dense wing]

it was a login screen

[stuck copper]

what the fuck is there to complain about

[tough burrow]

it's a good screen
I like it

[warm bluff]

is that wallpaperengine?

[dense wing]

it was removed because the artist was fighting for woman rights

[stuck copper]

Ah crap. The link wouldn’t open and i couldn’t save it. Someone dm me it

[dense wing]

on twitter

[stuck copper]

That’s a cute picture tho

bruh momentum

[dense wing]

and the community saw her as shameful for it, so they told the developers

and the removed her art

[ornate mantle]

Oh shit was that what happened.

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

its a korean artist too, so woman rights stuff is warranted since they have a lot of issues

[stuck copper]

Dang

[wintry sonnet]

"All women are stunning and brave"
same people:"BAN SEXY WOMEN REEEEEEE"

[dense wing]

it was really sad that picture only got like 24 hours of visibility

[stuck copper]

That’s the first I’ve seen it

kinda sad

looks great

[dense wing]

its not that they were banning it because its inappropriate lol

its because the artist commented on a womans rights post on twitter

[stuck copper]

There’s plenty of more inappropriate arts in game

the new bote

[wintry sonnet]

so the login screen was just in KR then?

[dense wing]

ya

[wintry sonnet]

so what stopped them from using it in other versions tho

[dense wing]

but since it was removed, its not on any other version anymore

[stuck copper]

shame

[wintry sonnet]

I mean we already have login screens that aren't available in all versions

[dense wing]

probably legal reasons

they likely paid her out of the contract

thats just a guess

[wintry sonnet]

eh, pity

if they already paid for it, might as well use it

[dense wing]

once the contract endsthey cant use it anymore tho

they didnt want it

[ornate mantle]

There are a multitude of possibilities.

[wintry sonnet]

eh, that doesnt really make sense

wouldn't the contract just be a commission to create the art

[ornate mantle]

but the end result is we're now missing a beautiful Log in.

[tough burrow]

its because the artist commented on a womans rights post on twitter
As a pretty liberal person myself that does make me feel pretty bad, when whole movement is dirtied by a couple of people who just want to REEEEEE for attention

[wintry sonnet]

and not a lease on how long can they use it

[dense wing]

it seems most likely they paid her in full, ended the contract after paying her, since it was force ended, the rights go back to her

[wintry sonnet]

it's not like the artist holds the right over the IP or the character

[warm bluff]

legal stuff is complicated

[wintry sonnet]

I honestly doubt they'd agree on a contract like that, that's just complete dumbassery

[dense wing]

hey its all speculation, legal stuff has all sorts of possibilities

[wintry sonnet]

that just leaves you open to a legal fuckery if you ever end up having salted relationship with the artist

[ornate mantle]

We can go guessing all we want.. probably not going to guess right, haha.

[dense wing]

prob not, we'll never know

[ornate mantle]

It sucks.

[dense wing]

she was insanely hurt after the incident so she quit azur lane

iirc

I remember all the drama on twitter

[ornate mantle]

I wasn't there unfortunately.

[tough burrow]

[dense wing]

ive had it as my wallpaper since december

going to go for that full 365 now

[stuck copper]

what drama would there be over an artist commenting on a women rights post

[dense wing]

fighting for ur rights can be seen as shameful

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

just look at us history, black people were belittled while fighting for rights

hurt, killed poor souls

[stuck copper]

ahem

as are gays, women, Native Americans, etc etc

[tough burrow]

I actually should add more wallpapers
my rotation is for a longest time
amagi/bakaga login screen
some wallpaper with Hipper someone sent me
last CG from FGO 1

It could use a refresher

[dense wing]

im just giving an example

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

yeah those are more examples too

[stuck copper]

@tough burrow can i see the Hipper one

[dense wing]

its kind of the same with korea and women

[stuck copper]

shall we not go into the whole socio political controversial topic

South Korea is 🚮

[dense wing]

well

[dense wing]

its just facts yama

[wintry sonnet]

how did we go from removing a login screen to slavery

[stuck copper]

oh i have that one too

[dense wing]

I never went to slavery

that was you aquan

im thinking of that one moment in history regarding the sit down or whatever

[stuck copper]

kawa there's a clear line between racial discrimination and people seeking attention for a issue that's not there

[dense wing]

where they just sat and refused to get off the chair

[stuck copper]

so whats the issue that isnt there

[dense wing]

[stuck copper]

mind you, meritocracy is not discrimination

[dense wing]

im personally not seeing an issue, im helping lila understand a little on why theres an issue with the twitter comment in the first place

[stuck copper]

everyone is only equal on paper and in word, not in practice

[wintry sonnet]

there's a short answer

"twitter"

[dense wing]

[wintry sonnet]

that's what's wrong with it in the first place

[stuck copper]

but no need to dive into why systemic fucking-over of minorities is prevalent

^

[tough burrow]

actually you know what
just to break this discussion a bit

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

30fps

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB

[ornate mantle]

Hey hey I like twitter when it's not flaming in drama.

[stuck copper]

30 fps

[dense wing]

there is always drama azu

[stuck copper]

upper left corner fps counter

[dense wing]

is that never

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

At least how I use it no.

I just follow lewd artists and LN authors.

And obviously AL and stuff.

[dense wing]

I just look at memes

[wintry sonnet]

enjoy it while it lasts

[stuck copper]

i follow game companies and some artist

twitter, social media in general, is the cause of such idiotic actions and moves

[tough burrow]

ye
i just installed the game here like yesterday

[wintry sonnet]

they already said they're gonna purge lewds off twitter

[tough burrow]

haven't changed any setting including fps

[wintry sonnet]

because that's a good idea

[ornate mantle]

Social Media as a whole is a dumpster fire.

[stuck copper]

@tough burrow change that fps counter location

[tough burrow]

no

[dense wing]

I follow memes, friends, and then some game stuff so they can alert me of new content!

[wintry sonnet]

esp after tumblr dropped to like 0.5% of its original value after danning lewds

[ornate mantle]

well that settles that.

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

Yeah Tumblr somehow is dead but not dead at the same time.

And they sold the company for like 3m or some shit recently.

[stuck copper]

in a quantum superposition of

[wintry sonnet]

it's dead in it that majority of people using it left and all that's left is screeching tumblrinas complaining about muhh priviledge

[dense wing]

[ornate mantle]

Oh is that whose inhabiting that wasteland now, lmao.

[stuck copper]

i just want to read my Christian bible stories

[dense wing]

of course

[tough burrow]

[ornate mantle]

I was wondering where the monthly visits were coming from.

[dense wing]

excuse me what stories now

LOL

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

yeah tumblr was known for some really, what's the good word

[tough burrow]

stuff

[wintry sonnet]

"deep cultured shti"

[ornate mantle]

Hey Tumblr was a literal wild wild west of finding a community for literally everything.

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

im stuff

[tough burrow]

hi stuff

[warm bluff]

Spicy

[stuck copper]

[regal reef]

Ah, tumblr. A community for literally everything, but primarily lewd

[tough burrow]

not anymore

[wintry sonnet]

*used to

[regal reef]

Then all the lewds got removed and now tumblr fucking died

[wintry sonnet]

until they banned it and then lost 99% of its value

[ornate mantle]

It's generous to call it a shell of it's former self.

[stuck copper]

let me guess, your home?

tumblr lood accounts ; it was... and it was beautiful

[dense wing]

Ah, tumblr. A community for literally everything, but primarily redacted
ah that sounds more accurate

[wintry sonnet]

"Verizon, which first acquired Tumblr in 2017 after it purchased Yahoo, started to explore a sale earlier this year. Automattic reportedly bought Tumblr for less than $3 million, according to Axios, a stunning drop in value from the $1.1 billion Yahoo paid for it in 2013."

[stuck copper]

fucking Verizon

[wintry sonnet]

from 1.1 billion to 3 million

👏

[stuck copper]

those stupid cucks super delay OS updates n shit

[warm bluff]

i never used tumblr for lewds, i feel like i missed out on something

[regal reef]

[stuck copper]

shitty fucking carrier except that they have reception everywhere

[dense wing]

I hear dash con and think of rainbow dash convention

[wintry sonnet]

was it the one where they asked people at the con to pay for the venue?

[regal reef]

yup

[tough burrow]

ikr Kawa

[dense wing]

[wintry sonnet]

[ornate mantle]

I prefer Molestia

[tough burrow]

[stuck copper]

molestia

[dense wing]

I liked luna

[regal reef]

See this is why we're mods

[stuck copper]

wait you guys actually watched MLP?

[tough burrow]

Yes

[dense wing]

shes the best in friendship obviously

[ornate mantle]

Imagine not watching MLP

[stuck copper]

[tough burrow]

not last couple of seasons tho

[regal reef]

Unironically, yes

[solar fjord]

cause restart rigged it?

[stuck copper]

i literally couldnt touch the TV until i was like

[dense wing]

imagine becoming a princess because you're good at friendship

[regal reef]

Hell, I met my wife through MLP

[wintry sonnet]

I mean it was done by the same people who did Powerpuff Girls

[stuck copper]

all i had was old Power Ranger VHS tapes

[warm bluff]

[regal reef]

[wintry sonnet]

so ofc I watched it

[ornate mantle]

[stuck copper]

but at least im not a slave to TV like most of my peers

[ornate mantle]

Well aren't you special.

🍪

[dense wing]

I think my favorite was applejack

[solar fjord]

but you a slave to degen

[regal reef]

power rangers

not even super sentai goddamn plebs

[warm bluff]

i'm a metaslave

[ornate mantle]

Here welcome to the group of 5 billion other people.

[dense wing]

shes really sweet

[ornate mantle]

[stuck copper]

i live in America

[regal reef]

I still watch superherotime every gorram week

[stuck copper]

[tough burrow]

I kinda made fun of it
until my moron friend (who also made fun of it with me) accidentally spammed entire twitter feed with adding 2 seasons worth of episodes to playlists on youtube

[warm bluff]

im a slave to my employer

[tough burrow]

and decided to give it a try

[regal reef]

1h of super sentai and kamen rider

[tough burrow]

[regal reef]

[stuck copper]

lmfao

[ornate mantle]

A girl I was interested in wanted me to watch MLP.

[dense wing]

omg

[ornate mantle]

So I was like "Eh, why the fuck not."

[warm bluff]

[stuck copper]

did you get her tho

[dense wing]

thats seriously so strange lol

well

I guess the difference is that im young

[regal reef]

I was /mlp/. And honestly, gen4 ponies were pretty damn cute and the show was so cheerful

[ornate mantle]

I stopped being interested in her after a while.

[regal reef]

so I unironically loved it

[ornate mantle]

[dense wing]

whenever I met older people who loved mlp, I was taught to treat them like predators

[wintry sonnet]

you know what's sad

[stuck copper]

LMAO

[tough burrow]

why tho

[wintry sonnet]

a show like Power Rangers could not exist nowadays

[stuck copper]

you guys are all predators

[regal reef]

@dense wing tbh 9/10 times you'd be right

[ornate mantle]

^

[wintry sonnet]

"Black ranger is a black guy, pink ranger is a girl, yellow ranger is asian"

[regal reef]

i saw some seriously whack people

[ornate mantle]

Basically yeah, lol.

[wintry sonnet]

"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

[warm bluff]

humans are the apex predator

[regal reef]

also i was one of the 9/10, technically

[dense wing]

because my parents though it was scary for me, a 10 year old baby female, to be talking to 19 year old men who love naked friendship ponies online

[stuck copper]

wait

[tough burrow]

[stuck copper]

now that you mention it

thats kinda hilarious

[ornate mantle]

I stopped caring about MLP after, but I had already been goaded into watching up to like... Season 3 or some shit.

[stuck copper]

yellow ranger is Asian

was that for all shows?

[dense wing]

I remember during 4th of july the new mlp movie was out

and I watched it while waiting for the fireworks to start at the park

[regal reef]

yellow ranger was a guy in japan

[dense wing]

watched it on a phone bc at the time someone illegally recorded it in a movie theater

and posted it on youtube

[stuck copper]

im boutta go cosplay yellow ranger

[tough burrow]

[dense wing]

it was the weirdest shit

to hear 50 grown men

laughing at a scene

[stuck copper]

LMAO

[warm bluff]

[dense wing]

in a movie for my little pony

[stuck copper]

imagine watching some scuffed recording of a movie

[dense wing]

lul it wasnt in my state ok

[tough burrow]

these grown men
having fun
laughing
urgh

[ornate mantle]

I used to be big into card games... and those stores always had anime and MLP playing.

[tough burrow]

[dense wing]

it was only at selected movie theatres

[stuck copper]

oh man

[ornate mantle]

So I guess that's where a large majority of the audience is centered, lmao.

[stuck copper]

Yugioh gang

[dense wing]

so I had to illegally watch it because it wasnt showing in my state

[ornate mantle]

Grown men having fun? Impossible.

[warm bluff]

poker cards are best cards

[dense wing]

but I own the movie disc

I saw it at walmart

Sheeeeeeeit

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

I have a photo somewhere on my old instagram when I was 11 that has my little pony in the background

[regal reef]

nah, I wasn't into cardboard crack

[wintry sonnet]

Grown men aren't allowed to have fun. They're too busy having a midlife crisis

hey, that explains why we're all obsessed with a boat game

[regal reef]

i was into tabletops, but we shared the shop with carsboard crack guys

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

god damn i really wanted the Orichalcos duel disk

[ornate mantle]

And if it's not a midlife crisis it's death.

[regal reef]

fa/tg/uys reprezent

[ornate mantle]

I was into YGO, Magic, and Vanguard.

[tough burrow]

that's my secret
I'm having midlife crisis my entire life

[ornate mantle]

Vanguard was my favorite.

[stuck copper]

11 years shouldnt be on IG

[tough burrow]

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, i have friends from all over the world.

[warm bluff]

i'm chinese

but i'm american now

[stuck copper]

idc if youre Mr Worldwide

[ornate mantle]

[tough burrow]

I don't get how such an easy language manages to be so dumb at the same time

[stuck copper]

if youre gonna be pretentious at every turn, then youre dumbo

[wintry sonnet]

English is pretentious

[stuck copper]

it is

[wintry sonnet]

claims to be the language of the world

more people speak chinese

[stuck copper]

in terms of globalization maybe

since like

only 2 places actually use it

[ornate mantle]

I'm p sure French was the OG world language.

[stuck copper]

Spanish imo

well

some European language

[warm bluff]

i think more people in china can speak english than people in america

[ornate mantle]

Well china has more people.

[wintry sonnet]

not sure if french was ever a worldly language, at least not in the same latin was

[tough burrow]

it's not about number of people, but how many countries use it

[ornate mantle]

French was a pretty important geopolitical language for quite some time.

[wintry sonnet]

excuses

[dense wing]

chinese is an insanely old language its kind of cool how old it is

[ornate mantle]

Spanning the 16th to 19th century iirc

[stuck copper]

it is one of the earliest civilizations

[dense wing]

and thats rad

[warm bluff]

all the languages have really old history too!

[stuck copper]

its pretty epic

[dense wing]

agreed lila

[stuck copper]

learning about China is always great in World History

[regal reef]

fuck chinese

[ornate mantle]

Bring back Mesopotamia please.

[stuck copper]

at least until the 1800s

epic Opium style

[regal reef]

chinese is the hipster of the language world

[dense wing]

my bf was telling me history about china waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in the past and I was like

whoa.... thats so crazy.. to think.. the chinese were a civilization way that far back..

[warm bluff]

i wish i had to take a world history class so i could learn about ww2 naval warfare

[stuck copper]

not taking World History class smh

[regal reef]

everyone's moved to proper alphabets, chinese is like, "nah we'll stick to pictograms thanks"

[stuck copper]

my WH class spent 1 week on both World Wars

[dense wing]

a world history class getting into the specifics of naval warfare?

[warm bluff]

i already graduated so taking any history classes is a waste of time

[wintry sonnet]

Well China was pretty much isolated from Egyptian and Mesopotanian cultures so they were pretty much left to their own devices

when it comes to cultural development

[stuck copper]

I-19 YOU FUCK

[warm bluff]

lewd

[dense wing]

my ww2 class only talked about what happened, never who was in included

[stuck copper]

imagine going after the 1 triangle enemy and not the fucking boss node

[regal reef]

yeah, but even korean and japanese have alphabet forms

[ornate mantle]

Only history class I had to take in Uni was 19th Century Europe

[regal reef]

china's like, fuck making this easy.

[stuck copper]

did you take regular World or smth?

[wintry sonnet]

Why make an alphabet for letters when you can just have 1 symbol for 1 word

[warm bluff]

i had a ton of credits from high school so i didn't get to take any history in uni

[stuck copper]

nothing bout the causation and changes/continuity and uh

[dense wing]

talking about the attack on pearl harbor was just
the japanese surprise attacked pearl harbor

then thats it, nothing about what ships were included

[wintry sonnet]

think of all the time you'll save

[stuck copper]

sad!

imagine not having to spend most of learning on causation and shit like that, sounds fun

[regal reef]

my high school world history was rise of facism, so we covered ww2 intensely?

[stuck copper]

something something economic depressions something something Ruhr Valley crisis

[ornate mantle]

I fucked up and took some Computer language courses... so taking something interesting like Mandarin or Japanese would have been a waste of time and money.

[regal reef]

basically 1914-1990

[stuck copper]

something something rising tensions

[dense wing]

ok im going back to drawing

[warm bluff]

what are you drawing?

[stuck copper]

something something nationalism

something something militarism

[regal reef]

then I fucked around in uni and ended up with a minor degree in history

[stuck copper]

[dense wing]

a commission >:o

[warm bluff]

[dense wing]

im not allowed to share it tho

[ornate mantle]

I wanna draw a Deutschland.

[regal reef]

Like, I took full advantage of freeform degrees and just piled so many useless modules

[dense wing]

is just between me and the person

[warm bluff]

oh btw do you post your art anywhere?

like pixiv or da or something?

[stuck copper]

make a tumblr

[regal reef]

that I ended up with one honours major and two minors in four years.

[dense wing]

ehh I kind of post on instagram

I have an account on pixiv, it has one post

[wintry sonnet]

Rise of fascism's a fun topic

[dense wing]

I havent gotten to posting my works on pixiv thanks for reminding me

[warm bluff]

azu, you should draw her and show me!

[stuck copper]

fascism is pretty interesting

[dense wing]

I was going to yesterday but I completely forgot

[wintry sonnet]

cause it's basically "Moussolini overthrew italian government, then Hitler was like "hold my beer", then failed

badly

[stuck copper]

well

not quite

[ornate mantle]

Boy oh boy, I switched from Environmental Science, to Chemical Engineering, to Biology... so, My freedom in choosing courses was kinda botched.

[dense wing]

if you want my social medias for art dm me so I can get back to it and not forget

[warm bluff]

i need to make a new pixiv account that's not such a degenerate account

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

I don't mind drawing her.

And showing.

[stuck copper]

do it

[dense wing]

that'd be nice

[warm bluff]

yes draw her!

[dense wing]

you best submit it for the artist role

[stuck copper]

[warm bluff]

how do you get artist role?

[dense wing]

and join us fellow artists in #artist-lounge

[stuck copper]

you draw picture and submit probs

[warm bluff]

i am noob artist

[ornate mantle]

Calling me an artists is probably a stretch, lmao.

[dense wing]

u need to send a complete artwork of azur lane to smiley or leona

well, the artist role is considered a trophy I think

[warm bluff]

is quality a factor lol

[wintry sonnet]

you could say calling you an artist is

sketchy

[dense wing]

its just like an award for drawing something azur lane related

[stuck copper]

i mean obviously you cant just submit stick figures

[warm bluff]

🏆

[stuck copper]

right?

[dense wing]

uhh I think so
it depends?

[tough burrow]

ye

[ornate mantle]

@wintry sonnet

[dense wing]

I did a really bad aulick drawing but they took it in anyways

[tough burrow]

Zilf was rejected like 3 or 4 times

[wintry sonnet]

[tough burrow]

[dense wing]

ya its kinda crazy

[stuck copper]

[warm bluff]

when you say

really bad

[dense wing]

his art is better than my aulick one

but he got rejected and I didnt

[warm bluff]

do you mean actually a masterpiece or actually bad?

[ornate mantle]

Lul I'll give it a shot soon then.

[wintry sonnet]

I think problem with Zilf's art

is sometimes it kinda looks more like a shitpost

[ornate mantle]

I feel more comfortable with my time now that i have a job opportunity lined up at my doo.r

[dense wing]

nah like it was literally my first time drawing digitally in 9 months

and it was fullbody

I literally NEVER touch fullbody

[stuck copper]

[warm bluff]

do you think that sea slug i drew could get artist role?

[tough burrow]

tbh ye - as much as I joke about Zilf - he's pretty competent artist and I find it weird how long it took him to get a role

[warm bluff]

that was a long time ago and i never drew anything else that wasn't lewd

[dense wing]

I dont remember it but im sure if you try the results will be good

[stuck copper]

im sure loods work

[dense wing]

I find it weird too

it always baffles me when someone in #artist-lounge gets rejected

pretty much everyone in that channel has some nice work

im glad they exist they help so much

[solar fjord]

[warm bluff]

artist lounge scares me

[tough burrow]

tho they have this weird pattern - if there's any art contest - they just reject anyone and tell them to apply through the contest and win the role

[stuck copper]

lol

[wintry sonnet]

gotta justify the reward someway

[tough burrow]

but like
if there's no contest
you don't need to and can just show art and get the role
??

eh, w\e

it's up to them, maybe they think it's the best way to do so

[stuck copper]

are there any epic gamer roles

[wintry sonnet]

I guess they didnt think gems n shit would be adequate reward on its own

[tough burrow]

ye, detention

[wintry sonnet]

so they wanted to pad it

[tough burrow]

[stuck copper]

[tough burrow]

pretty epic

[warm bluff]

so what's the minimum quality required to get artist role?

[tough burrow]

around 3.9 quality

+- 0.3

[warm bluff]

aww i'm only about 3.4

[stuck copper]

[warm bluff]

out of 1000

[wintry sonnet]

that's not bad

I only need about 59 more points

[dense wing]

[solar fjord]

[wintry sonnet]

I'm so confused

00:00 means new day

so 28 hours

if they meant 4 hours it'd be23:59

[tough burrow]

so why post now

[wintry sonnet]

that's what I'm askin

we didnt even get patch notes yet

maybe they forgot they no longer post patch notes 2 days in advance

and just posted it out of habit

[tough burrow]

maybe they decided to give more of a heads up, but
why not post patchnotes as well?

[stuck copper]

[tough burrow]

I don't get it, w\e

[solar fjord]

[stuck copper]

subs can attack the boss node right?

[tough burrow]

Ah shit I'm 8 behind schedule.

[tough burrow]

[stuck copper]

So why such an early maint notification? Lol

sad!

[tough burrow]

why would I add wsk?

[steep scarab]

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

Why not add WSK.

[tough burrow]

cos people were asking for 24h+ heads up

because wsk is not on En and not announced for EN

[stuck copper]

are the requirements not the same as other servers or smth

[ornate mantle]

It's only a matter of time.

[tough burrow]

they are

[steep scarab]

Should be

[tough burrow]

point is

we don't need it

[stuck copper]

Oh. I guess that’s a good enough reason lol. I mean the patch notes are usually up 12 hours before so that should be enough but

only a degen can police other degens

[tough burrow]

[wintry sonnet]

Restart's story is a sad one

from being a game guru to becoming corrupted and turned into mod

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

[ornate mantle]

Degeneracy is a common delicacy in this server.

[wintry sonnet]

I mean you were a game guru no?

[tough burrow]

[ornate mantle]

Even better, you can be a game journalist.
