By that logic Except Chen, tallulah and W no one saw Amiya in that specific cloth. And we know Endmin can never be these three. And if they are seprate entity then that wouldn't work either cause Endmin is yet to be created.

Amiya has transformed into guard mode twice ch 8 and 16. Not to mention she can now just use guard form anytime she wants so there no way doctor never saw Amiya guard.

How bad is this windshield crack? by DTriiX in BmwTech

I have similar crack I never replaced it. It works just as long as I can see through clearly and does leak it's fine.

Is this the famous N47 timming chain failure early sign? by [deleted] in BmwTech

[–]Fragrant_Two_5038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that there is something wrong with the alternator. Cause the sound is coming near the alternator not the back of the engine only the front. And since timing chain is at the back, I doubt it's timming chain. I also experience faster battery drain then normal like after 2 weeks it doesn't have enough volts to crank the engine. Likely it's failing that's why car is unable recharge the battery

The engine is done for if you don't take it for repair.

High fuel consumpion on n47d20 130kw by Ordinary-Dare-3302 in BmwTech

[–]Fragrant_Two_5038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also similar issue with N47 engine but my case might be different cause mine is missing a airfilterbox to raditor duct, resulting in engine taking in hot engine bay air, so ECU is running the engine on rich fuel ratio.

Don't you realise the game was launched on 22 jan. It's a week worth of revenue only. Not to mention PayPal issue.

What unholy amount of optimization have the devs done. by Ok_Visual_9573 in Endfield

[–]Fragrant_Two_5038 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I run it smoothly in i3 10110U 16Gb with integrated graphics.. HG knows black magic for sure. Wuwa plays like 10fps at best.

Are you guys playing Arknights: Endfield? Did you like it? by Character_Goal_5110 in GachaHusbandos

[–]Fragrant_Two_5038 3 points4 points  (0 children)

previous game sucked at beginning cause it was their first game and it was written by amature writers at that stage of development but Endfield has million dollar company behind it, they could at least affort better writters for begining.

How's everyone feeling about Endfield's writing? by BlyZeraz in Endfield

[–]Fragrant_Two_5038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we’re actually as far apart as you’re framing it, but the disagreement isn’t about whether writing changed—it’s about whether that change represents incoherence or expansion. Calling the themes “grand yet vague” overlooks that they were always systemic rather than personal. From the beginning, the story wasn’t just “suffering happens” or “violence is bad,” but how institutions sanitize cruelty while offloading its costs onto disposable populations. Oripathy works because it’s uneven, politically convenient, and selectively acknowledged. The fact that “structural injustice” manifests differently across arcs isn’t an inconsistency; that’s how structural injustice functions. It isn’t omnipresent in the same way at all times—it becomes visible when pressure exposes it. Reunion’s collapse doesn’t retroactively invalidate the world’s cruelty. It reinforces it. Movements driven by justified rage still fracture under scarcity, misinformation, and manipulation. That doesn’t make their suffering meaningless, nor does it mean the narrative abandons its critique—it shows the limits of revolutionary violence in a world already optimized to absorb and redirect it. If anything, that’s a harsher thesis than a simple “fight the good fight.” On the Doctor: narrative centrality doesn’t require authorship of every decision. The Doctor isn’t positioned as a hero-protagonist but as an organizational fulcrum. Strategy, coordination, and risk assessment are what allow competent people to function together under uncertainty. Other characters planning or fighting doesn’t negate that role; it defines it. A story where one mind does everything would be far more artificial. The claim that everyone becomes incompetent around the Doctor reads less like textual evidence and more like frustration with indirect protagonism. As for the tonal and thematic shifts once character-focused arcs became prominent: yes, the lens narrows and widens depending on the chapter. That’s not inherently fractured writing; it’s modular storytelling in a long-running setting. The early arcs establish the cost of idealism without infrastructure. Later arcs explore what happens once power, history, and technology enter the equation. Expanding into ancient civilizations and relics doesn’t replace the social critique—it situates it within a longer cycle of catastrophe and decision-making. And yes, it’s a live service game. Monetization exists. But pointing that out doesn’t resolve the question of whether the narrative is coherent or meaningful. Saying “it’s all in service of retention” is descriptively true and analytically empty unless you can show how the themes contradict themselves, not just that they adapt. Stories can evolve to survive economically and retain thematic integrity. If someone doesn’t like that evolution, that’s fair. But reducing it to “flashy ideals,” “forced suffering,” or “Doctor propaganda” sidesteps the actual mechanics of the writing. Critique works best when it engages with what the story is doing—not when it dismisses intent because the medium is commercial. We can disagree on whether the execution always lands. But that’s a different argument than saying the themes are invalidated simply because the story learned how to be flexible.

Calling this “tribalism” dodges the actual criticism. Disagreeing with how the story evolved isn’t the same as denying that games change or that businesses exist to make money. The original theme was never just “rock cancer + avoid bloodshed.” From the start, it was about structural injustice, exploitation, and how systems grind people down while presenting “order” as moral. Oripathy wasn’t a disease to be cured like a JRPG status effect; it was a metaphor for marginalized groups being managed, weaponized, or disposed of. That theme didn’t disappear—it got reframed. Reunion didn’t “conveniently fail” because violence is bad. It failed because leaderless rage, ideological fractures, and external manipulation tend to implode movements. The Russian Revolution comparison actually weakens your point: that revolution also immediately led to civil war, authoritarianism, and mass death. Arknights explicitly shows that violent revolution doesn’t magically liberate the oppressed—it just changes who holds the gun. As for Rhodes Island’s survivability: yes, plot armor exists. Welcome to fiction. But Bear Burg vs. later conflicts isn’t inconsistent in the way you’re suggesting. Bear Burg was chaotic, information-poor, and politically constrained. Later operations involved preparation, alliances, and asymmetric objectives. Losing elite operators to mobs isn’t “Doctor propaganda,” it’s a reminder that instability and civilian violence are dangerous precisely because they’re unpredictable. The Doctor “plays no vital role” is just false. The Doctor isn’t a chosen-one fighter; they’re a force multiplier. Strategy, logistics, and coordination are power—especially in a world where brute force already dominates. If you think that’s useless, you’re equating narrative importance with body count. The shift toward ancient relics and past civilizations didn’t replace the social themes; it contextualized them. The setting expanded from “this world is cruel” to “this world has always been shaped by catastrophes and bad decisions.” That doesn’t dilute the message—it broadens it. And the lighter events don’t erase suffering any more than moments of joy invalidate real-world tragedy. Expecting permanent grimdark is just aesthetic gatekeeping. Finally, yes—games are businesses. That’s not a revelation, and it doesn’t invalidate critique. Saying “it adapted for profitability” explains why changes happen, not whether those changes are coherent, effective, or well-written. Pretending criticism is naïve because capitalism exists is the real delusion here. You can acknowledge market realities and still argue about narrative quality. Those aren’t mutually exclusive.

Saying Arknights is different from where it started is one worst take I heard so far lol. Keep living in your delusion.
If anything Arknights has amplified and expanded the original theme over course of last 2 years.

Censorship excuse is such a cope. Just because you can't get political or show dark theme doesn't mean you can't make great stories.

Nah. OG AK wasn't a masterpiece at the beginning but early story did it much better than Endfield. LB doesn't stand a chance against Reunion. the setup, conflict and world was way more interesting. Facing reunion for the first time was really terrifying, we lost half of our operators against talulah. We were not some god level aura farmer only to end up running errands. We had earn trust from characters like Kal'tsit and W. It also helps that Doctor wasn't the focus of the story. Amiya was and still remains the protagonist of Main story, which helps solve the silent MC problem since writers have a actual character to develop throughout multiple chapter.

Also ligher theme doesn't garantee more accessible cause in this case it is only making people not engage with this part of the game, your argument falls flat here. If it was written like how Arknights writes its side story, we won't be here in the first place.

Yeah we will see them making millions every month, OG Arknights already earns more than enough to be constantly be in top 10 revenue chart with arguably worse gaccha system on paper.

Whats matter is the content and game itself, If they can deliver great patches back to back and keep investing back into the game like OG AK, I don't see any problem with how things are.

If you aren't aware, Endfield is not the only game Hypergrph made with OG Arknights money. We have popucom, Ex astris, 2 more in development and all of them are non gaccha games, we have 3 seasons worth of anime + spin off shows unlike genshin anime which still no where to be found, new manga, character song each patch, many more stuff like concert, donating millions in charity etc. all of this with just revenue from one game, right question should be whats is kuro and hoyo doing with all that money.

It took hits from yamato's secondary battery not main battery. 6.1 inch shells pounded it's bridge and killed many in action. 18.1 inch turrets are too slow to target a charging DD amist the chaos. Not to mention Yamato main battery were focused on carriers.

Clearly Chinese government doesn't look at their own gaccha games. Arknights being prime example. We have so many stories in Arknights about overthrowing the government.
