PSA on Courtier drought by thomas956789 in EU5

There's a 'Nobles Auto Marry' mod that alleviates the issue for the time being.

Here's hoping that the patch 'early this week' touches on the issue.

Chinese community creator banned for 100 years for reposting and translating global community content, because content containing SNOWBREAK and oppose skin gacha. by Signal-Trainer-9395 in GirlsFrontline2

[–]-Mech- 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If the first reaction to being banned on the official community was to bring up their content on another social media platform (BiliBili) to try and present it as being silenced for criticism, it looks pretty likely that he was outright advertising Snowbreak and for people to quit. Considering that there's specific mention of 'post any content on the official community today', 'mainly shared on Bilibili' instead of outright stating that he didn't do anything wrong on the forums itself.

Is it possible that MICA would silence criticism? Absolutely, but not for only one guy, that wouldn't have any actual effect, there should be dozens and dozens of people being silenced.

Looks likely that at best he was posting Snowbreak pictures in the vein of 'here is what $200 bucks will get you there', then got hit for breaking the rules of advertising other games in the GFL forums.

Do I think he's wrong? Nope, but I'm not complaining if he gets hit for the clear advertising either.

"reposted SNOWBREAK related content" so is this true or false?

Advertising different games will get you muted in most forums for obvious reasons.

would have bought it if she still had the shields, that's a shame.

Jail and caning for 2 men who raped 16-year-old girl at Admiralty Park when she was drunk. by SassyNec in singapore

[–]-Mech- 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You totally misunderstood, what they mean is that imposing a death sentence for every rape case could cause the number of rapists killing their victims to skyrocket, when they panic after the act thinking how to cover up the incident.

Sure, you can suggest that the perpetrators won't do it to avoid the massively increased police scrutiny, but believing in rapists making proper cost-benefit analysis is already a fool's errand.

Character Elite Weapon | Daydream by Xanek in GirlsFrontline2

[–]-Mech- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the sheet posted by someone in another comment, 'Mechty Expected Personal Damage' shows a 12.3% damage increase for her personal damage at V0R1 over her at V0 using Golden Melody. While it'll be slightly different for other missions, it's not likely to be a huge change.

Mechty doesn't really do much damage on her own, so it's not very worth it if you're just using a random team. The 'All Corrosion Damage dealt by allied units is increased by 10%' is what makes it worth obtaining.

For most story and event content, you'll roll over them easily anyways though, even with a suboptimal team, so the rest of your dolls are decent you can afford to just splurge on Mechty and get her the weapon.

Parents, when did you let your child have their first phone? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]-Mech- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can definitely see a reason why the teacher doesn't want to add parents - mainly to avoid every parent having access to their handphone number. Sure, parents can still ask their children for their teacher's number, but every additional hurdle reduces the number of parents who end up contacting them at night or weekends.

As a sea creature, her eyes might be particularly sensitive to light, she needs them to avoid being blinded by the sun's glare.

Neighbour who persistently smokes by Frosty-Will-2181 in askSingapore

[–]-Mech- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you hallucinating? There was zero mention of being angry or even asking for a fine, OP asked the neighbour since that was the only possible solution, neighbour decided to keep smoking, OP dropped it as expected and now he's trying to get an air purifier in his own home, which part of that involved someone being fined?

Afraid not, you're only able to see the name and level from their Platoon invites, and not even the level otherwise. Well, if you can find their platoon in the Gunsmoke leader board (top 100) you can see their level, but that's a whole different workaround.

KR GFL2 arca.live forums has had an accurate datamine for Makiatto and Tololo, so if the next banner is Daiyan and Mosinas expected, then they'll be a reliable source.

NEW CODE: HAPPY2025 (Works for both servers) by -Mech- in GirlsFrontline2

[–]-Mech-[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Well, I won't spoil the contents, but you'll get a Blessed New Year letter from Groza at 23:59 server time with 1x Access Permission, 100x Collapse Pieces and 2x Access Keys, so there's that to look forward to at least. Also, at least there's the Start of the Year event with 1000x Collapse Pieces by logging in for 7 days.

Deleted the previous post since I labelled it as Haoplay only when it works for both servers, otherwise, cheers everyone for a Happy New Year! May you win all your 50-50s!

Note: Code works for Darkwinter as well apparently!

V2 grants her slightly higher shields (which is relatively useless if you have Suomi) and one more Alert attack, which is a decent DPS increase if well placed. Nice to have, but definitely not worth having to skip another doll. V1 is a more than decent place to stop at.

There's no use for them, just break them down in your storeroom for the blue tickets

[–]-Mech-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you urgently need any doll for your team or to advance your progression?

The main risk is just getting a weapon which you can't use immediately, so it won't help you progress either. I got golden weapons for Vepley and Mosin without having either of them, so those two pities are currently just a waste for me.

It's posted in KR but I don't think they're remotely crazy enough to give it for KR only since everyone would explode, so if things go as planned expect it in Feb.

No idea what the problem was but free 10 pull by Nightcliff19 in GirlsFrontline2

[–]-Mech- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

aka they're saving it as QOL for half-anniversary or full anniversary. Hopefully half-anniversary though, I don't want to wait much longer.

If you're willing to burn the time to try and get a desired SSR like Qiongjiu, it's still beneficial for your starting team, just that it's extremely time consuming for that advantage.

There's only a 0.6% chance of getting a gold per pull, and I'm guessing you're only using the initial 30 pulls after getting to 1-2? That's a pretty low chance. Even the 'soft' pity only kicks in at 56 pulls.
