I'm not an ultimate raider, so I don't really care what they call the fights colloquially in EN. I do, however, think it's pretty quirk chungus to /insist/ on calling them whatever is the "funniest" initialism, particularly when said initialism is maybe funny the first three times you hear it.

People really love to replace learning with YouTuber and I'm sad

I need D2 to be Over over no rallying no third wind, and for D3 to not be a thing (for 5+ years), partially bc its playerbase can be among the most insufferable and the Forced L would cool their jets over time. But I also want to stop hearing about Potential U-Turn/Pivot/here's how we can still win.

FFXIV job tier list based on how full of themselves their mains are.

Insane line out of context.

I find it amusing that "zero to hero" is the phrase marathon players gravitated toward to describe solo runs where you load in with a free kit or nothing at all, considering you are Not Doing Heroic Things in that game. "Rags to riches" was right there. Or make a new one like "worm to wealth."

What an event. Really fun figuring out you can take advantage of the levitation zones for "on deployment" and "on first hit" effects. Not so fun about the story though, Tin Man how could you...

Finally got the last medal for Tales within the Sand. Great game mode! Can't wait for Reclamation Algorithm 2, which we're definitely all going to call RA2 since that's what it's labeled in the trailer, right? We're not gonna make the same colloquial mistake like with IS right gang?

Just E2'd Click and I have her outfit but I'm keeping her default outfit/art because she's fully stanced up and kitted down to the nines. Legend.

I want an IS guide for Arknights that covers all 5 chapters and: 1. Is in English 2. Is in video format if it's lengthy, or no more than 10 pages if written 3. Covers general & specific IS things 4. Explains how+why IS never gives me items that synergize with my strat, regardless of strat.

I'm gonna defeat the Big Sad Lock in Phantom & Crimson Solitaire. I will do it.

Everytime I manage to actually finish a vault and I get waxing from Durandal about how fucked it is out there but how he knows I'm in that cycle of adoring the mechanical slaughter of a tangible human being works better than something like Spec Ops because this isn't a parable I /am/ enacting harm.

That's Warmy. In case you didn't know.

ウォーミー

: )

Why is Nik in Arknights???

Finally reading this event.... ohh.

This chapter wasn't made for Tragodia I can tell you that much.

Watching the new Reclamation Algorithm trailer and it has a big #02 right there in the trailer, and I know people are going to call it RA3 because "Fire Within The Sand is RA1!" despite that being a limited time event that isn't accessible anymore. Same deal with IS since Fungimist isn't available.

Easily my favorite Guard archetype.

Fuck yeah dude

What do you mean a weight of 6 there are cars and vans and tanks in this game with a lower weight rating!

Person: [asks a normal, reasonable question] Person Full of Petulance: "ohhoho, silly rabbit, don't you know????"

Playing Reclamation Algorithm and I'm sitting here trying to figure out when I got 9 crabs.

I hate the Mixtape "industry plant" conversation because it's mostly people yelling and mad that it got good grades on websites and only a handful of people have actually articulated what they find unsatisfactory with it. Even if it is a plant, does that change anything for you?

everyone loves a water dungeon, right?

Hoping we get confirmation that Evolved WAR does appreciably more damage than Reborn WAR (at the cost of reduced personal healing) so warrior players have to choose: rWAR: Immortality, but everyone knows you have trust issues or eWAR: Big Damage, but you can't be self-sufficient anymore

They're gonna go ahead with the construction of that data center larger than the largest city on earth and then 4 years later it still won't be finished and the reason they're building it will be extinguished so it's just going to be Big Warehouse.

Sir, Finishing This Fight.

Arguably one of the funniest parts about Arknights' world design being based on the real world is that in some game modes you can make British Chinese catgirls Catholic to synergize her ammo-based fire magic with their ammo-based unit design.

It's a good thing we don't have to buy the games we don't want to play.

Evolving my stance from "I don't like loretubers" to "I don't like when people rely on loretubers to do the heavy lifting of engaging with a work's text" because A: it feeds into a trend of "there is less reading going on from people of certain age groups" and B: it spoils part of the joy.

I'm working on the Arknights Codename Quiz again and the things i've had to do...

The unbridled joy and serenity in my soul when I'm reminded that it's gone forever.... aahhhhh

The icons in my display name here are carryovers. I've used them since 2016. If you think they correspond to [A Certain Kind of Large Algorithm] or [A Certain Kind of Streamer], well, I was using them long before those were actualized as they are today.

Here's mine. Some notes: - Eyja Alter is my least favorite bc while there are plenty of powerful characters, the ones who dominate the Medic and Vanguard categories are the most egregious. I only dislike her unit design. - Specifically, Lemuen's EN voice done by Bridget Lappin

I'm calling those "you're in a conflict with an adversary but you're not directly fighting them and instead playing some fucked up death game on a table with them" games "dueling games" you can call them whatever you want.

I don't like when games superficially wrap themselves in their title. Fake Example: "Grace, Leon; welcome to Resident Evil: Requiem. Use your Requiem sense to find Requiem points and upgrade your gear. Hold L1 or L2 to ready either a Requiem finisher or an Evil finisher on that Resident."

They really will have Mr. Meteor FFXIV play every damn job in the game as long as it doesn't cast magic. Archer -> Warrior -> Dragoon -> Monk & Samurai -> Dark Knight -> Paladin -> Viper -> Reaper (He was never Bard because 1.0 didn't even have jobs and by the time it did he was already Warrior)

Much and more has already been said about this site compared to the other one, but any delusion about the superiority was shattered when I started using this one more often and noticed people still just post robosludge on here as well.

One of the scariest aspects of baby generations growing up enough to type sentences into the internet is every so often I'm subjected to seeing someone's "novel idea" about "how cool it would be if they put my baby stuff in here." They're not putting [cartoon/toy] in [video game older than you].

It's kind of weird how for years and years I rarely if ever saw people use the bizarre hoof shoes from ffxiv pvp and nowadays i can't go a week without seeing someone posting their glamour with it.

"There's no way they're increasing the level cap by 10 we're staying at 100 trust 😤" Sooner or later we all have to reckon with the fact that base10 colours our biases as to which numbers are "better" numbers than others. But then again I say this as a guy who doesn't care if the volume is at 59.

Rot13 for my expansion prediction based on the trailer.

When your sword is a square:

Saw a post along the lines of "as long as bungie keeps releasing Raids, Dungeons, and Cryo Archives, I'll always return to their games, nothing like them in the FPS space" It went on to glorify them. The OP said they could (and might) write thousands and thousands of words on them.

Looking at comments on a post and I keep seeing quotes like "Arc Raiders was" or talking about Arc Raiders like it's gone... what.
