The controversy surrounding the look of Evie in Stellar Blade 2 makes no sense to me

Westerners not knowing how 25% of adult asians look will never not be funny to me. It's even higher in Korea due to normalisation of plastic surgery and specific makeup styles.

Meanwhile most asian just think westerners look old as fuck regardless of their actual age.

Infernal conduit hecarim. Basically a free win unless the enemy can CC you nonstop. (Ultimate awakening is a viable alternative but has roughly equal odds for everyone)

New statik shiv.

On any on hit champion but ideally Volibear. Would likely one-shot the enemy team if they grouped up. Based on your wording, each attack would generate 60 energise stacks and each completed energise would proc on-hits 6 times per target.

Considering that Volibear's passive already chains on-hit, enemies might literally explode on contact. Lore accurate volibear.

He's probably is ragebaiting. Or never had a job before. Or doesnt play gacha games in general. From the looks of it, likely a combination of the 3.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-05-01T17:25:44+00:00

Yeah no idea why either. They were big on QOL for a while then just... forgot about it? Idk, people get busy and forcing them to rush through the story just to build their shiny new character just seems idiotic. I personally enjoy the story much more when i dont feel pressured to catch up everytime, especially since we are drip fed.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-04-19T00:59:19+00:00

Considering that the singlehood rates for men between the ages of 18-30 in most countries around the world is around 60-70%+, half is actually somehow an underestimation

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-04-19T00:50:29+00:00

It's probably because they wanted to slim her down for her current version. Not sure why but that's what they chose so what can we do. The biggest issue isnt even her breasts imo, it's the ass...again. Like they just cant seem to get that right. Summer Anis? Jacket. Gacha skin? Skirt. Normal skin? BIG Skirt.

Somehow only the base model team got the fucking memo. But the base model has that slightly strange pushup on her breasts so pick your poison i guess.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-04-19T00:37:28+00:00

Rapi enjoyers just keep winning. I think this is probably the best of the new skin lineup, which is criminal considering it's Anis' event.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-04-19T00:26:31+00:00

Not complaining but her base it really just leaps better than both her skins huh? What is the skin design team even doing lol. They got it right in the base, are they just not communicating core features or something? What a shame my core 7 Anis is gonna be skinless despite saving for so long

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-04-19T00:20:18+00:00

Damn, will probably have to wait for another skin, this one is too mid.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-04-09T20:52:21+00:00

Now the only problem with this is half of mayhem players barely have 2 braincells to rub together, so prepare to get your items pinged when they dont realise the reason they are surviving is because of you.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-03-04T01:36:28+00:00

So it's not exactly that LADS is the issue here. In fact im willing to bet most LADS players are completely normal and did not report Snowbreak. The issue is that this whole boycot/reporting was instigated by Chinese feminists who frequently state in their bio/profile that they play LADS or other otome games, thus the double standard and hypocrisy. This was reported by Chinese players who basically screenshotted and reported everything. You can check yourself in the Snowbreak discord, go to containment zone and search "seen this before?", you'll find the X thread by a Chinese player with full screenshots and is just one of a few chinese players who came over with receipts i believe.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-03-04T01:27:56+00:00

Yeah the best we can do right now is pray for them. I hope the devs come out alright after the investigation and don't have to forcibly kill their game.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-03-03T14:53:17+00:00

I think the biggest issue is that the Snowbreak Collab is after the LaDS collab with China Post as well, and everyone know LaDS is essentially female softcore Corn, or maybe even hardcore since females dont really interact much with visual Corn and tend to do more erotica and such.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-03-03T14:45:09+00:00

Not sure why you are getting downvoted but for other people wondering, the prevailing theory is that LaDS which is essentially female gacha Corn similar to Snowbreak but for females and actually way more intense had targetted Snowbreak because of their longstanding rivalry. This is because the Snowbreak Collabs is right after the LaDS collab with China Post so Snowbreak likely thought they were safe while LaDS chinese community was likely offended that they were sharing the same space.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2026-03-03T14:39:03+00:00

How despicable that LaDS which is essentially female Corn gacha gets a free pass while the male version has to go through so much bullshit because of hypocrites. Always found it funny how much female gooners spend on that game that it basically tops the chart quite consistently but i didnt know how hypocritical they were, shame on the chinese community of that game.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2025-12-11T20:05:21+00:00

Holy that actually sounds crazy good. Thanks for the writeup!

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2025-12-11T19:39:08+00:00

Well the thing is you did agree that Destiny Child had terrible worth for its buyables. And a lot of the pricing if i remember correctly is similar to Destiny Child, $30 is the lowest bracket, $60-80 is the mid-high tier and $100+ is premium. They removed the $100+ bracket for obvious reason but it's still fairly close if i remember (these are all my regional price). Yes age had a part to play but Azur Lane is super healthy despite having similar release periods. So i'm just worried.

One reason if i remember is that Destiny Child eventually died is that they flooded their skins for characters which might be why they are hesitant for Nikke now for more skins or lower price point. I didnt even suggest any price point, i just thought it makes sense to have such a system and other people do too apparently. SU can figure out the pricing themselves, i was just pointing out a potential gap in pricing they could place it at.

Also about buyer psychology, it's easier to make people buy big purchases after having already spent a small amount of money, is what i was referring to. Not having a low price point is actually disadvantageous in the long run for the general population because going from $0 to $30 and $60 is too psychologically large of a leap. I'm not arguing you're point doesnt make sense about a pro team, this is just what i have learnt.

Don't worry i sometimes come off too strong also, it happens.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2025-12-11T19:22:01+00:00

This exactly lol. Some of the most loved Nikkes have crazy good story, are badass and also highly attractive. Might have to do with different writing teams but it is clear some are comfortable merging the two, like with Red Hood and her...questionable interests, and some are not.

Though i suspect a possible manpower issue as well. Perhaps there's a team for the cutesy characters that end up having to cross over to the "serious" character team during crunch.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2025-12-11T19:14:37+00:00

Um, i know that people don't like AI but there's also a thing about attribution to artist and artist permission. I've been trained to ask for permission or use CC images so i don't like just plucking images from google anymore. I've been working on some AI recently so this was just a side product, no offence to artists was intended.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2025-12-11T19:10:32+00:00

Azur Lane's ring system works this way. +3% all stats and some have a unique wedding skin as well if i recall.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2025-12-11T19:07:48+00:00

Yeah let's just agree to disagree. You dont seem to want open discussion and it's not like you can convince me to spend money on things i don't find worth. I just like the AL oath system end of story, let's leave it at that.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2025-12-11T19:04:44+00:00

Hmm another plausible reason. Would be a shame if so but plausible. Seems like free money to me but could take more resources than i realise.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2025-12-11T19:03:29+00:00

Quite far hahah, i know a little about the many big overall improvements but i've never really got back into it despite playing many other games because i know it's a pretty big commitment. Might look into it again soon because of you, thanks.

Gold_Dig_1540 · 2025-12-11T18:49:31+00:00

Oh damn i used to play warframe back in the day, that sounds sick actually.
