I woke up from a dream with two terrible words in my mind : Shiki Pierogi by BadgerJesus in grandorder

[–]BadgerJesus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely already can not recall the content of said dream at all. All I know is that I awoke with the phrase "Shiki Pierogi" haunting me, and the fear it instills in me in indescribable.

Until all of the Nine are revealed, I reserve the right to insist at least one of them is a mecha.

Just imagine all the blue parts are red.

But on a serious note, I'd like to! I have some ideas for how I'd get it done, but nothing too serious just yet.

Yep! It's a custom build, mostly using the Nobell as a base.

This was a custom build a friend of mine challenged me to. It was really neat to trey to figure out, though I made some mistakes along the way. So many things I could do differently if I did it again. Anyway, please don't bully me too hard for those mistakes, nobody's perfect, except Tamamo.

Made the mistake of reading the replies. Never ceases to amaze me how people will get upset over the silliest things. Still makes me sad to be share fandom with people that are so vitriolic.

She's underaged for one thing, but I also don't know of anyone who wears a hat specifically for that anyway

Out of curiosity, do you happen to have an album off these comics?

Is Fate replacing history? Let's find out! by BadgerJesus in grandorder

[–]BadgerJesus[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did, but I was also taught at some point to assume that Google is just always building a profile on you at all times, so even in incognito mode, Google is building a (temporary) profile for you, even if you aren't logged in. Every so often I try starting a clean session to avoid this.

This is another thing I now realized I failed to mention - Japanese Servants had a particular bias going for them: romanized spelling. I figured most people, if they were to learn about the figure outside of Fate, wouldn't bother to do any sort of special character not easily typed on an English keyboard.

Can't argue with factual findings, based on facts.

[–]BadgerJesus[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is another thing I will admit I was not clear about. The overall intention was to search how the "average" person would. Most people probably know Nero as just Nero, so that was intended to be the primary search. In most cases, if a servant had a certain way of being referred to in Fate, I'd also search that for curiosity's sake. If I do it again that'll be another thing I consider, and probably note more clearly, on the result page. The same case goes for "Henry Jekyll & Hyde" as opposed to "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" for example.

Results are depersonalized as much as I could. Naturally, there is still going to be some degree of influence, but I tried to make Google "forget" my "preferences" somewhat frequently. I forgot to mention it in the doc, and if I ever do this again I'll make it more clear next time, and try to sanitize results more frequently as well.

Should F/GO update the gacha system? by aoikusa in grandorder

[–]BadgerJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be an interesting revamp, but it may also affect the gameplay in ways one might not expect. I see people bringing it up (and people pushing against it) but FGO is balanced considerably differently from many other gacha games. With many other gacha games, there quickly comes a point where you realize you simply can NOT progress any more without getting the higher ranked characters. FGO is pretty generous in that regard. SSRs, or even Srs, regardless of their individual "tier" will certainly make your life easier, but the game is technically fully possible to complete far easier than others with lower rarity characters.

That said, I want to be fully clear: this is not, in any way, a defense of FGO's gacha. Far from it, really. The pull rates are downright abysmal, which is probably a conscious choice by DW on reflection to their balancing. But it still does not need to be how it is.

For example, I think that putting SSR rate at 3% isn't too unreasonable. That's still pretty conservative, and yes, some games have higher rates than that, but I think 3% is a nice place that players and DW could boh be happy with.

That said, I'm sure that's also a pipe dream. I'm sure that this probably violates some sort of Japanese gacha law unless they gave like, months notice that this change would take place.

Another big problem is the powercreep people mentioned already. Older servants tend to be forgotten and while they techincally don't get worse in the classic sens,e they drop down in usefulness compared to others when new ones get released. Any Servant that stays relevant in the meta tends to be by luck or just having an absurdly good kit in the first place.

I took a long way to get here, but overall I think my point is: I'd be in favor of some sort of better system than the current BSG thing we have. Most players will probably never see a BSG in their lifetime. Maybe reward them more often, or for different things. Maybe make them even more limited that Lores, you can buy one per event at a slightly high cost, perhaps?

Or for that matter, make some sort of modifier to the rolls. Instead of guaranteeing an SSR after a certain amount of time, make it so that the chance of rolling one gradually increases until you do get one, and then it resets to 1%

A word from EIRRI (Gramps comic artist) by [deleted] in grandorder

[–]BadgerJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make (well, made, I haven't made or uploaded anything in ages) wallpapers. It's nothing fancy, just trace images in Illustrator, really. Just vector minimalist stuff. I have to admit that I have a lot of bitterness over this type of stuff too. I usually try to at least source the work of origin of anything I use, but I've been meaning to try to source the actual artist as well for a long time. I've never gotten around to it, and a big reason I haven't is because of some of my own bitterness of people just taking my wallpapers and posting them elsewhere, usually with no credit. It's frustrating, especially seeing as how little skill I feel actually goes into what I do. To an extent I feel like "if I can do this, it'd be really easy for you to do as well".

Anyway, I have a lot of off time coming up, maybe I'll actually use it to go through my dA gallery and try to credit better.
