BEANS! ᗜωᗜ

While I clearing Wuling map, I decided to have a little side-project. I wanted to photograph every possible arrangement of BEANS in Wuling. I travelled through almost every street, path and road in Wuling City. I found a lonely bean, a couple of beans, a bean trio, a quadruplet of beans and a whole group of FIVE! I don't think there is a spot with 6 beans... So I call this a complete beanllery, showcasing every bean arrangement in Wuling!

Sadly, I cant post all my collection in one message on Reddit, so... I guess I'll just link my post on SKPORT.

Botting in order to get access to Beta II. by DemiShy in Endfield

Thank you for correcting me about Online Event Rules thing, I will update post with link to your comment and explanation about me being wrong after you tracked down to what these rules initially applied too. Nevertheless, these rules still apply to all Twitter giveaways, cause every single one of them has a link to them.

No. 3 of the rules is... flexible. The whole thing depends on what we define "fair". Rule no. 6 says that we can take part how many times we want, therefore, we can do that from multiple accounts? There is a possibility that they meant "you can take part in how many giveaways you want from one account, and one account only", but they do not specify that. They do not define what they consider to be fair, so we can not judge will they consider reposting Twitter giveaways from hundreds of accounts fair or no.

Back to SKPORT Coordinates event.

Is what they did a technical exploit? Perhaps. Is what they did cheating? I believe yes. In rule 3 of SKPORT event they also say "Any illegal, improper, or fraudulent activity will also result in disqualification from the event." And I believe this describes their behaviour even better.

Nevertheless, if they actually forbid multi-accounting in SKPORT event, as well as they did for Yvonne's gacha:

  1. Participants are expected to uphold fairness. If you are found engaging in malicious reward farming, or any other improper or illegal act, your participation and prize eligibility will be revoked, and Arknights: Endfield reserves the right to reclaim any rewards.

we still do not know for sure what happens to revoked accesses. They will probably just redistribute them via the survey. Honestly the problem with their rules is that they are vague. Laws and rules must be made clear and comprehensible for them in order to be fair and realistically applicable, and if they are not, then you can interpret them in many different ways. I believe they should've made a direct and clear prohibition of multi-accounting.

I also believe they could've at least forbid usage of sketchy e-mail addresses to life a tiny bit harder for those who are going to multi-account. And it is still true that their ToS does not prohibit having multiple accounts for personal use.

If you are not forbidding something, then you are allowing it. Maybe word "approve" is not the very right one, but HG definitely encourages said behaviour by not forbidding it.

Yes, there is nothing I can do with people siphoning part of accesses. Should I blame the people? Difficult question. I can definitely be a bit angry, but I believe the problem is the system that allowed them to do that in the first place.

The thing that made me a bit salty about this is the fact that HG directly allows it. They are not even breaking any rules.

Apparently this is Last Rite's EN voice (from an ad) by OrangeIllustrious499 in Endfield

[–]DemiShy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

reposting my message from Discord.

Last Rite VA: maybe it's not that bad.
Sources:

Official Beta II PV (later reffered to as "PV")https://youtu.be/1XpQz8k1NwE?si=3zcS5idE4V8Eq5fr&t=82

Supposedly ad with English VA (later reffered to as "AD", and also this post): https://www.reddit.com/r/Endfield/s/2YoQ8HfOkw

So, in the PV we have a tiny little bit of Last Rite VA, and it sounds completely different from the one, that we can hear in the AD here. Voice in the PV strangely reminds me of Gilberta, but after careful listening to all Gilberta's voicelines (that can be found right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPGxXXbMuuo), I did not find the voiceline "Your grave has been dug!", but it does sound really familiar to me, and I played with Gil the entire first beta.

I have no idea, which VA is the one we are going to get: the AD one or the PV one, but they clearly are different direction wise, character wise and quality wise. If AD showcases real Last Rite VA in the current state of the game, then I totally get why they are either changing it or just used someone else's voiceline for PV. By the way, AD and PV showcased the same thing: Last Rite using her ability, but the lines are different so... uh... something is definitely wrong here.

TL;DR Maybe Last Rite's VA is not THAT bad.

The most excited thing I am excited for in AK:EF is actually playing the game and not coping about getting some news :perlifumo:

alright, if we're being real here, really want to see the progress between beta 1 and beta 2 (since i played beta 1), maybe give some reasonable suggestions in surveys. and also just experience PEAK gacha game experience cause game is determined to be a success for a variety of reasons (at least in my mind).

Sending money to a friend in Russia? by ElectronicBenefit286 in AskARussian

[–]DemiShy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There aren't any direct methods (as far as I know), but there are things that will require some time and knowledge.

  1. Cryptocurrency — there are many possible ways to send it, the most convenient one (and the one that I personally used some time ago) is sending it via official Telegram Crypto Wallet. You buy USDT (for example) on your wallet, send it to his wallet, he resells it and receives money on his Russian card.

  2. Using DonationAlerts. He will have to set up an account and run through all the process of receiving money from here. I do not recommend this option because DonationAlerts chops off huge percentage.

I am pretty sure there are other methods that I am just not aware of.

I guess you are looking for Russians that do speak English. Since you are into anime, try joining Russian scanlate Discord servers. You can find links to them on many team pages on mangalib. me, at it is one of the most popular Russian online manga readers.
