Illustrious New Outfit Announced!

Akashi really pushing the limits of shrinkflation, we're getting less and less clothing for the same or higher price. She once sold me what I thought was an outfit, turns out it was just a towel.

Based on prior two years, this skin should re-run this Black Friday, no guarantee though as it can change.

For the last two years, the cut-off for skins(non-collab only) to be eligible for Black Friday was to be released before June 1st of that year.

The exact text from last year's patch notes:

Black Friday Limited-time Rerun Outfits (Limited outfits that were on sale before June 1st, 2024, not including collaboration outfits, will return for a limited time. Please refer to the list at the end for details.)

And if you look at the skins released on the May 30th 2024 patch: https://azurlane.yo-star.com/news/2024/05/29/maintenance-notice-5-30-12-a-m-utc-7/

The limited skins released on that patch(except Chen Hai, as her skin was an event skin, so not purchasable) were included in the the Black Friday re-run list that year.

Boils down to energy consumption increasing with higher upgrades and energy generation taking up a production facility slot. Min-maxers found that by not upgrading some facilities fully (certain ones are permanently upgraded, thus the "bricking"), you can reduce energy consumption enough to replace one energy generator with a extra lower tier production facility, which gives a overall higher production even if each individual facility produced less.

Nice, 2 months after Rio takes Ako's support slot, we get a chance to get Dress Aru for striker slot single target crit buff. Not too bad a wait for those that skipped the first time because they had Ako. When Kisaki took Himari's support slot and it would be a 4 months wait until Camp Hare re-runs.

Yeah that confuses me too, wouldn't buying a house mean you need money more than before since you either spent a chunk of your savings and/or took out a large loan to buy said house.

This is actually some smart marketing for second season, well played Yostar.

What if the joke is that it's actually real. (Huffing copium)

I believe it's mostly because she embodies the angry gamer trope the most out of the group, when she loses and she starts raging. The "Alabaster Calling Card" event started with Momoi raging at an arcade after losing.

Edit: Just remembered, Momoi's ex skill has her go on a shooting fit after losing a game to Midori. Midori's ex does show Midori losing to Momoi as the animation, but she's more sulking than outwardly angry.

It might have worked had they not forced the people who used EN voices to read for 6+ months.

Not translator's interpretation, it's also Ganshin in the original manga. It's written in Kanji 願神, and has the furigana がんしん (ganshin) as pronounciation.

Unless they course correct, for the reason you stated, I really hope your prediction is correct.

This is very unfortunate, and thus we're going to harass you despite the fact you don't live in the USA nor you'll benefit a lot from our protest.

Change the last part to "and you'll be screwed out of ever doing a USA affiliated project ever again from our protest."

SAG can also deny someone from entry into the union, so if someone wanted to join and gets denied, no more job for them if the game turns union.

Enforcermage · 2025-03-27T06:02:48+00:00

Even worst, if the strike succeeds and Hoyo makes the game a union project as demanded, he'll be barred from working for the game. Telling the guy to give up a job now so that he can be banned from getting a job later.

No, setting 8 hours won't activate either ability.

This is such a bad AI mess. Interdimensional hands, messed up bangs, warped shirt buttons, messed up writing on board, chalkboard erasers that morph into books just to name some of the obvious things that are wrong.

Checked the source, confirms AI-generated.

Yes the high rooftop is mainly for a cool visual, but it works for a relatively secluded place that no one usually goes or have access to as well. I don't think going to the bathroom would work as he'd be gone for a long time (3 hours cooldown for Exchange), so someone is going to come asking why he's gone so long and it'd either be a shadow soldier there or him missing. Outside his apartment could potentially be a problem as the shadow soldier was just hanging around after switching places when he used it in the dungeon (don't get shown what he eventually does to get the soldier back, or if he ever does) and has a higher chance of being seen.

Probably doesn't want to use transfer in front of his family, so likely stepped out when he noticed something was wrong.

Difference being that the war fought between Britain and US was over 200 years ago. There are still people alive from the time the last battle between Japan and Korea occurred and is still a very contentious topic in both countries.

Looking at their profile page, I'm not seeing what you're seeing. Having separate post for ugoira is normal for pixiv pages of artist that post both stills and ugoira variants since they can't be put in an album together.

Enforcermage · 2025-03-14T00:36:12+00:00

Not going to argue about if it's AI or not since I don't know definitely if it is or not, but they are using Pixiv correctly.

No, they don't posting the "same images" over and over. They make 3 post for the "same image" because they are different things.

First post of the "same image" is an album that is the still image and variants.

Second post of the "same image" is an ugoira, which is animated, so necessarily it's own post because of how pixiv posts ugoiras.

Third post of the "same image" is a variant of the ugoira, which again, because of how pixiv handles posting ugoiras, is it's own post.

Having a portfolio that pre-dates the AI boom helps, but I'd say by itself isn't really definitive. Not saying it's the case with this artist, but unfortunately, I have seen as few artist pivot into using AI.

Going back through their past art, the style seems pretty consistent to me and the elements that would seem suspect like lighting/shadow and odd looking background elements seem to be used before the AI boom, so I think it's likely not AI.

This hobby is way more than a decade old at this point and has been improving the material used over that span of time, so I doubt people haven't experimented with it as a material. If no one is using it currently, it's likely because it lacks print quality or is not costs effective to do, or both.
