This is still super cool.

All the AK videos just age well.
Arknights also had a licensed soundtrack

Happy Easter!
Anybody else has Network errors on Avrora?
Woah cute Helena
playing atm
I haven’t logged in today.
No
Avrora server seems fine it's not lagging



Hi

meanwhile im here watching the anime
Ohhh you’re watching the anime?
just made some coffee, i hope i dont regret this when i can't sleep tonight 
with your sleep obsession you should be fine

Ina lewd
@ornate mantle ye i am
Naissuuuuu, I wanted to see the anime... but I’m just watching clips of the scenes I like in the novel.
its alright
exu's e2 talent isn't consistent across autos

i hope it doesn't mess me up somewhere eventually

posting lewds now 
Fighting games. Bring it
HI
i didn't realize it's gonna take me so long to get my important skills up to M3, i hope i can make it in time for CC

CC doesn't matter anyway
you'll clear it regardless
only thing i care about is speeding up my A3 to get it done quicker
but it's difficult and i gotta have strong stuff to compensate for small brain
is it even possible to speed up a3?
lots of times literally nothing happens
the faster you kill stuff, the faster new waves spawn
it fucked up my absurdly precise A2 auto back then
there are some hard to reach enemies that just stand there though
although i guess it's theoretically possible to kill them quicker

yeah that doesn't sound good, you might want to check with a doctor
i see


there's nothing better than making awesome food by yourself
sometimes you just gotta try stuff
let us know how it goes 

I ordered some Hawaiin BBQ
the dif between me driving to get it to me getting it delivered is like $5.
that's a lot! 
It tastes great.
Should be delivered to me in about 1 hour, LOL
I have 2 HBBQ places near me.
But one of them gave me an allergic reaction, so I'm hesitant about going there.
1hr doesn't seem too bad for non fast food
pizza takes ~30-40 min during peak hours for me so 1hr is comparable i think maybe
OhIsee

These are exciting times.
depends on the distance too
if the place you order from is far that shit gon take longer to arrive

It's like 2 miles away.

unless you get really lucky
you're supposed to tip the delivery person, btw
@stuck copper American thing
i've been tipping the delivery guys a lot more recently because their jobs are so dangerous right now 
i am not american
I work pizza delivery 
it does depend on the culture though. in some places tipping is an offensive gesture.
over here it's the usual underpaid staff having to rely on tips
it's really rude not to, especially when your order is expensive.
like, you got money for that, but you can't even tip em 50 cents or so? lmao
Worse is the 80$ orders that tip like 3$
tipping is a pretty stupid system, but it's not gonna change anytime soon 
Agree
At least I get minimum wage unlike waitresses
Who literally get like 2$ an hour
Oof
ye dont waitresses pretty much live off tips
if theres no tips it just means no income
yeah it's just free labor for the owners at the expense of the consumer
it's a shitty system
and what makes it particularly scummy is that you can't really do anything about it without hurting those that don't get paid enough
I always tip 20%
depends. we give more in restaurants, less for delivery
for some reason
for delivery, it's simpler to just round it to avoid unnecessary change
i'm poor so i usually tip 18% in restaurants and 15% delivery, but i tipped the pizza guy 25% last week because corona
If I order past 10 I usually give em 10$. Which is usually around 50% of what I get
those are generous numbers compared to us
15% s my gold standard.
i just looked it up and apparently we tip 10% tops, 0.5-2€ per delivery
it's pretty much in-line with my personal experiences
I don’t order delivery often and considering I also deliver food, I know what it is like to get shit tips
15% s my gold standard.
@ornate mantle that is generally standard
This is the first and last time I'm ever using a food delivery service.
Exactly.
That's why it;s my gold standard.
why last time? 
it is
how much extra
About 5-7 USD more.

thats not that bad
We are doing free delivery until the crisis is over 

About 5-7 USD more.
@ornate mantle da faq service is that?
i think delivery is roughly 30-50% more expensive over here
Where did you order from?
and that doesn't even mean the food is any good
I used Post Mates.
5 for the Delivery Charge, 4 for the taxes, $2 for the tip.
Wait.
Taxes goes up to 5.
Post mates is shit 
Wat
how much was the meal then?
About 12
Why use postmates if delivery is free
so 12 plus all that?
Did you not just read my message.

phew
But delivery is free.
@ornate mantle
Yes
@warm ice 
today i ordered a meal for 12$
the deliver was for 3$
Why use postmates then
Because Delivery is free.
that's more than the cost of the monthly thing 
Yeah.
I could have bought a monthly card just with the charges for delivering the meal.


It was a good meal.
But the meal isn't worth that much.
And with this experience.
I can tell that these food delivery services aren't worth it.
ok i'm definitely not gonna try it then
Pretty much.
rich people 
being rich doesnt really change the fact that you're throwing money away
I'm a minimalist. So I tend to cut out unnecessary stuff. I'll chalk this expenditure as me just doing something for the experience, but won't ever do again for sheer unnecessity.
maybe they're so rich that money doesn't matter for them
their money was better spent in buying skins for their ships instead
If they were bad with money I doubt they'd be rich.
also inheritance and stuff
Also Possibilities.
had they actually worked for that money, they'd appreciate it more
then again, i used to, and i wasted it regardless
hahaha
You do get rich idiots, but I think that's not the vast majority.
my in-laws have tons of money. they're also really good with it.

the proportion of dumb people who are rich is probably the same as proportion of dumb people who are poor
possibly
¯_(ツ)_/¯
are you telling me i should be smart and not whale?
do whatever you want
i don't whale
not that i can anyway
as if me thinking it's stupid changed anything
i just got hit by buyer's remorse too many times
so no skins for me

are you a whale if you buy skins
just order a toy online. they're similar in price.

speaking of skins, should i buy the warfarin skin? i dont have her yet but the heart thing she does is too cute
pfft yeah apolo gems for skins
Xurrently 1k in apologems in my mail
then download the png off the internet and there you go

maybe a year worth of apolo gems can get you a skin
i only bought nightingale

is it laced with something?
and that doesnt count because the OP i paid was free
No.
I need it for science.
I'm using the sfw version of the jpg
so anyway, yeah. I think that 1k is a years worth.
not like yostar makes too big of mistakes anyway. so not much apologems
they need to fuck up more often
can they mess up more in ak
200 orundum is kinda lame tho
i need ak resources more than al resources
Cause they starve you more
ya 200 orundum is like a fraction of a cube
imagine AL fucking up and giving you 1 cube 
its not even 1 cube
Not even enough for event pull
its a quarter of a cube
they did at one point, give out 4 sets of gems.
200 orundum is less than 1 half a cube.

It's literally 1/3 of the cube value.
but it was 8 gems in total
yeah, but you also need coins to pull, so...
technically, 1 cube ain't half a pull
and light don't count, because it sucks
you need to pay akashi to get a shipgirl
It is pretty bad.
Compensation isn't even a single.
But when you think about it... You don't even get 3 rolls from your main source of Orundum.
if the fanbase stood up and complained collectively, things might change.
things have to get really bad for any fanbase to complain significantly 
Cal, can you confirm that?
not sure
I wish Epic 7 was good.
my personal impression is that people always think we're all bavarians
which is super omega false

we don't even consider bavarians real germans lmao

which is really their own fault since they wanted to split off in the past, so fuck them
Walk into Prussia with a fedora and a boot shaped beer jug and see what happens 
imagine everyone thought of america as texas or something
USA according to everyone else :
California
Texas
New York
@swift cliff dont forget bronx and florida
and they don't even speak proper german in berlin
I'd like AK to make the A3 rewards cap a 3 roll at minimum.
neither do they in bavaria
It just stops at this ugly 1.7k.
i legit can't understand a native bavarian
how many is required for a roll
1.8k would be nice
600 Orundum.
oof
France according to everyone else :
Paris
Bordeaux
Nice
600 AO for 1 roll... but the main source of Income (annihilation) only gives 1700 weekly.
Like wtf.
Would it hurt the devs to make it 100 more?
and daily + weekly rewards is only like 1200 per week
@swift cliff Paris syndrome tho
where they think paris is amazing....then they get to paris
and they wanna leave immediately
paris felt like any other place i've been to, just french
People think Eiffel tower + Notre Dam + Louvre + Versailles : All of France
Then 1700
- monthly orundum and tickets from the cert shop
2700 AO weekly w/o monthly.
and arc de triumph
I would like them to give a 10x roll ticket.
This is how games always start out.
Stingy with currency.
paris felt like any other place i've been to, just french
@stuck copper Well, that’s cause you’re European
And then when the player base starts dying they get more generous to maintain their already depleted numbers.
Our country is bigger than your whole continent with states the size of entire countries
is arknights newly made or something?
But you can make orund in the workshop 
Arknights is a little over a year old on the Chinese Server, a few months old on the Global and JP.
Crossing into other European countries is a regular thing I heard
i hope they do something about the sanity system, it's completely awful right now
arknights has very little content. it's more or less all character progression.
which is heavily time-gated by sanity
even pad decreased the time for regenerating stam
It's heavily story based.
all you really do is build up your roster
there's a story?
Yes there's a story
all you really do is build up your roster
this is why I stopped
The roster are pretty much all characters who play pivotal roles in the story though.
So there's a lot of opportunity to actually get attached to them.
Making the development a very fun process.
How is GFL story?
i recently discovered that i can't stand the VN format of storytelling, reminds me too much of reading a play and i hated that in school
Very similar BUT more tedious than ALs
ak is a blessing and a curse. you don't have to grind like in al, but you also don't get a lot of playtime out of it.
so it's kinda double-edged
Don’t have to grind wat
let me rephrase that
LOL
it does not let you grind
AL isn’t that grindy unless event
once you run out of sanity, you're done
but how can I sharpen my pitchfork to storm Ak HQ with?
al is very grindy

@ripe mantle
go level a couple dozen ships to 120
Developed by Nexon, published by Yostar
I would phrase it like this... you can go the entirety of the game without any major grinding sessions for the most part... content is pretty doable as long as you have minimal investment into your units.
Go level a bunch of E2 90s
That’s not minimal investment.
No content in the game requires you to have units that strong.
Who is nexon?
No content in the game requires you to have units that strong.
I wouldn’t say 120 is required
i start my day with 128 san. i run 4 resource maps and i'm done.
Wdym
And somehow people still defend the sanity system
I don’t know anyone who defends the sanity system and sounds reasonable at the same time.
Hi Random
the only good thing about it is that events have to be designed around it, which means they can't require you to fight 300 battles just to get an event unit
unlike some garbage event like spee
which is just a fucking waste of time
Just like spee
that was the whole argument i was making. ak is way more laid-back
I mean I literally said the grind is only required for events
It's not laid back because that's the nature of the game... it forces you in the direction of highly limited play time.
Not denying that
i always waste way more time on al than i do on ak
Cause you are ABLE to
Dailies take like 5 minutes on AL 
i am able to play annihilation an unlimited amount of times. it just does nothing lol
? You can play as much as your sanity allows you.
the worst part of the ak system is the fact that i can't invest in characters that i think would be fun otherwise i'd fall behind 
Not very Unlimited.
Annihilation takes like 10 minutes to do
Like all the content.
I wouldn't consider that playing the game.
I don't agree that you can't invest in fun units.
I think you're just a meta whore like in AL.

i wanna do high risk since it looks fun
then do it
if i invest in vulcan, there's no way i'd get a usable high risk team in time for CC
i already think i wont make it 
CC is run by giving a stage restrictions that add Risk... High Risk is like 18-25
basically really hard endgame content
Contingency Contract... hardest content in AK...
Ah
it's an optional challenge for those who are interested in it
Yes. Optional and Costs 0 Sanity.
What does it provide?
i wanna try for at least risk 20
next to nothing
You get more points with higher risk, but you do get some stuff out of it.
So it is just hard stuff for funsies
the event gives siege skin which is super cute
you dont have to do it
You can add tags like "NO Casters/VG allowed" or "Enemies Range increased"... stuff like that.
Someone bless my cube rolls for washington
These restrictions basically impact the way a map can be approached... the more restrictions you add the higher the risk.
And each restriction has its own "risk" rating.
no one wants to bless my rolls 

Got PoW 
All my cubes are almost gone
Only got 16
I blame Ranobe
If I don't roll I won't get washington
I am really only gonna regret it if they do another USN event next honestly
Which is unlikely
Cause I don't care much for IJN or Ironblood boats
Unless it is the iris rerun
I need ISSS rerun.
I actually do want Mogami thouggh
https://twitter.com/Vayneeee4/status/1249464062406205440
Helenyan pouting 

Yes
..?
She is not in the light pool
We have VDIR in Archives, so everything from that event should be available.
i used mogami for ibuki farming but haven't touched her since
Mogami is CA only after retrofit.
Ah okay.
Cliff is super cute
I thought cliff was a man for a second there
cliff can be a man if u want



snowsant's e2 base skill is pretty good 
Rope also has great thighs.

I know I do for sure.
i wanna bury something else somewhere


yes i agree 

I should grind a little of D1 for WeeVee and Wasp
I have to E2 my rope.
i have to wait a year to play ff7
Whew, I have to read V6 of Infinite Dendro rn.

Oh right. I have two rings. Who should I oath? Minnie, Intrepid, or Reno?
nicholas 
Begone you lolicon.
Deutschland.
frames dont matter all that much for games like that
i don't care if a game needs 60 fps or not. 30 is trash, and it will always be trash.
30 is bad but most games on ps4 should be 60 now
consoles usually dont have too many issues, they're just not the best option usually though
ppl be playin supposedly "4k" on the ps4 pro
Consoles holding games back rip

Do they have a 4k tv though?
i'd need a larger screen for 4k to matter, and i can't use one because i simply don't have the space.
i'd just sit here and get motion sick.
my 24-inch monitor is enough
i use my monitor for console
i had a tv for my ps4 too but
i sit right in front of it
my ps4 up and fucked itself so
one arm length away
im left w a tv that i dont know what to do with
i put mine in the kitchen
i kinda wanna put a tv in my bedroom so i can just lay in bed and play on my switch or something

my tv and monitor is right next to my bed
so sometimes ill swap the HDMI from the monitor to TV and watch a movie or anime
in bed

i put my computer and stuff in a separate room since there's no space to put everything
my mom will give me her tv. it's pretty big. i'll put it right next to my bed so we can watch lewds while we lewd.


rando lives in a mansion lol
and a bed
i can't fit anything else in here. that tv is going to be a pain.
meanwhile, my son has an entire room he doesn't want to use.

tips for my next life: keep kid in a cardboard box
up or down
downstairs
arent masters usually on the upstairs
i don't even have the option to go downstairs


even his 5 bathrooms are master bedrooms
my living room is my bedroom and my computer room lmao
y'all got too much space
@icy plume Yes
i dont have a house

what brand of frozen dumplings do you get?
i love dumplings
i'll try and look for that one next time, usually i just get whatever's cheap

Okay I guess I will oath Casablanca and Duetchland. @ornate mantle
do an all vg team
I like duetchland way more than spee
that logo looks familiar, i think i might've bought it at some point
Hey Random. Did you ever use HEB?

Cal! How the HELL are you still awake?
By being awake
How the HELL do you care so much?

Everything is nice and quiet, the air is better, etc.
i need to stock up on drinks too, bought 2 gallons of sweet tea but i'm starting to run out 
I need to oath Casa.
You havent oathed her yet? 
casablanca is cute 
She is 
I drink H2O
Kraken unleashed...
i still have 2 rings, one is reserved for malin, idk who to use the other on
I also have to oath like a bunch more units.
I want to oath Casa, Duetchland, Reno, Intrepid, Minnie
Maybe Marblehead too
ships with post oath dialogue are high priority for me.

why is talking about coronavirus banned in the AK official discord? 

i dont really go there other than for news
is that a big problem there?

All my secretaries are great.
Thats why its banned.
Haven't oathed Zara yet wtf.
Basically because Corona has claimed lives.
it's considered a really sensitive topic in AKO now.
At least that's what the rationale was behind the ban when I was there.
ok that makes sense
speaking of which, John Conway died today from it, he was one of my favorite mathematicians 

show what?
I’m just uncreative.
Your secretaries dummy
a really amazing mathematician, he's famous for the game of life, but he apparently hates that legacy

Did you buy the warfarin skin
really tempted to but idk
I don’t get why you’re hesitant.
buying a skin without having the character seems kinda sketchy 
i hope so 
there's still 9 days to decide
Sure
opportunity cost of the skin is 2304 sanity for me 
Do you even feel like sanity is worth PO at this point.
Not like a 10 fill is going to give you a level at the end anyways.
hmm good point, getting all the characters i want M3 is gonna take the sanity equivalent of 119 oregano
When will Apple Pie come home?
I guarantee you’re not going to spend 119 in one go though.
Might as well put some of it to use whenever you find a costume that actually tempts you as much as Warfarins does
At least that’s how I see it.

being unable to use it immediately hurts though 
gold certs is my plan
ok i'll wait until i roll next banner, if i get myrtle really quickly i'll buy the skin
otherwise i might spend oregano on the pack



Wait 119 sanity? I can do that in one go
yeah that would be great 

Das cute

eh, it's something to do
Would rather not have another grind fest
Ew no, I wanna have 100% collection AT SOME POINT
@ripe mantle
yeah, it'd be nice if they did something more creative

@tight flower

@tight flower?

@warm ice 

Mio pfp 
I want to die

It has been nearly two weeks since I was out from my old project... Now I am "unallocated". How pathetic I am.
I couldn't even submit resignation form... I need to stay here till December or I would have to pay contract breaking fees...
So yeah, I am sitting like an idiot in the office, doing absolutely nothing
I couldn't even cry. Who am I to cry with, and what good would it do?
There is absolutely nothing I can do to feel better...
so you're employed, but not actually being asked to accomplish anything for a while?
well, beats "thank you, you're now laid off"
Laid off my ass
Without a project to be in, my salary would barely be enough for me to stay alive
I have problem with my liver and my kidney, and no fucking money to check, because my salary, as a junior dev, is meager...
And not work long enough to get support from insurance
ah, you get paid differently without an active project to work on? That sucks
Basically, I have my base salary (which is meager), and surplus from project (good source and stable)
And if this remained, I might be forced to be out of job, in short, termination of contract (at least I don't have to compensate)


She’s one of the Hololive members I can watch without having to worry about my poor ears.
She’s also just cute. and wolf girls are my fetish

Barely streams tho 

Gonna simp for Korone soon. I want to pet her.
The only Hololive I will simp for.

Hololive?
Isn't that thing dead already?
No sir
Hololive is booming rn
Expanding
Payback for all the times she broke my eardrums.

I would have bullied Aqua, but she didn’t stream that day so Haato it was.

Okay let’s dial it down a bit here.


wow luccsacc
I never experienced any acute tragedy...

Sometimes I want to be edgy, and ask the same question
I always feel out of place, even in this channel

Love yourself
I shouldn't have been like this
To rei?
Yes
ok kamina
Good shit Simon
@errant burrow ban pls
Yall hear sumn



Hey look a SHOUNEN
Go easy one me.

life is hard

Stab it from the bacc 
Try coding in your own common BBs
wat?

@stuck copper 
Anyone confirm the news that some AL server clusters are going to be shut down, due to the intervention of the government?
man you come upon the weirdest rumors

#game-news would know
if it's CN servers thing, then leave it be
If it’s not there, isn’t relevant.
CN has a lot of servers

sure, now that I have Shining and Nightingale...
not out yet? lame.
she's a vampire. there's no way she can't take him.
