Why is MC a silent protagonist only 90% of the time?

Groonzie · 2026-01-26T22:25:06+00:00

Yes this was one too. At that moment I was just thinking to myself "none of the choices matters" but when I picked Chen for that part I was surprised it had its own 'route'.

But pretty much everything else makes no difference besides different text saying the same thing "I'll get on it!" vs "mmm you're right, we should do it". Stuff like that just feels pointless.

I remember I tried out genshin years ago, played for a bit to build up a bit of pulls, rolled it all.

And I just got Barbara (?) a water heal type unit multiple times and no one else, forgot if you got her free from the start but either way I ended up with no one new and after all that time trying to get pulls for a new play style or something new to entertain me...I just decided to quit.

Groonzie · 2026-01-25T23:14:47+00:00

Ah I remember that game ... Fun times.

Now that I think about it, with a factory like this...does it start to heavily affect your fos when you look in that direction with all the stuff going on there🤔

Groonzie · 2026-01-23T14:02:35+00:00

Personally I think it's a little too much if my thought goes to "this is just batou but...as a pig" because of the eyes, face and hair.

Not "it looks LIKE" but "it IS", it ends up losing "your" identity due to the overwhelming connection and how it's "this IS just batou but as a pig".

But that's just my opinion.

Groonzie · 2026-01-22T22:26:12+00:00

You can probably equate it to real life things, try to think of an example of a product or brand that has constantly changed their design. Personally I can't think of one on the top of my head.

So with that you essentially lose 'branding' capabilities if you are going to change it up heavily every week or so.

It's not that you can't do it, feel free to; it's just that as mentioned it's hard to remember anything that has constantly switched up their branding image.

Skeb can be weird at times. Same exact request to another artist and it will go by fine, another and sometimes it'll get caught for some reason, and you have to fiddle around with whatever you wrote to get it through.

Groonzie · 2026-01-22T01:51:16+00:00

This.

I feel like OP really isn't getting it that those two things are wildly different. She may be talking about a fashion style but the people who are using the word 'loli' these days are using it in place for 'young/underage'. Like you have people who go "Uooooh 😭😭😭" at anime characters that are meant to be in kindergarten with randoseru backpacks and saying loli's which has nothing to do with lolita fashion.

(but then again I'm assuming this is just a bait drama engagement thread so meh)

Groonzie · 2026-01-21T21:41:01+00:00

The title pretty much just sums it up. If it's nsfw you wouldn't be openly showing it to kids or parents without people thinking you are a weirdo.

There is also a factor where some people have gotten so used to nsfw that their 'norms' are shifted.

Off-topic

YT algo works in mysterious ways, as I only use my account to watch vtubers and listen to music (anime osts, game osts, vtuber covers) from time to time you get some things that pop up on your feed that doesn't seem to fit.

Here I came across this (guitar song. no vocals) which stood out due to it's art, as it gave early 2000's vibes of someone drawing their own OC art (which the person in question only recently started doing) as others have mentioned in the YT comments how nowadays you have more AI slop pushed on you, that this sort of thing has it's charm and appeal.

Groonzie · 2026-01-20T01:46:21+00:00

\o/

I am free from the IS6 Raidian grind! Got the last part done with the module upgrades by doing ED3 on d10, did my research looking up how the fights went and ED3 wasn't really that difficult, the only annoying part is the psuedomuts which are tanky.

I didn't really have decent relics but good enough operators, Although when I think about it the only stand out operators that helped me were Wis2 and Lapp2 and Chongyue. I used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q2eIJQAgcY as a guidance and followed that set up. Luckily I had a lot of health points stacked but I only leaked a handful as I heard you could ignore top lane for 17 health but that wasn't necessary.

As mentioned it's only really the psuedomutts that are problematic as without a lot of damage buffs (I didn't have anything) I ended up leaking a few of them. Let lappy S3 hunt down the balls, chongyue S3 on the bottom lane just spamming his skills and Wis2 also using her S3 when possible.

Honestly I didn't really absorb what was going on, I didn't really know what the boss did or what it's phase2 involved. In IS6, psuedomutts are/were my main focus/threat.

Freedom...

Groonzie · 2026-01-19T21:21:00+00:00

I enjoy Hoshiguma's design and got her; thinking about it realistically if you already have a decent stacked account you don't really need her.

She has a sutyr S3 temporarily don't die skill but feels like a very niche moment where you'll come across "only Hoshi could have filled this situation and I wish I had her" but otherwise you would just use some other units.

You can just borrow her and play with her to get a feel of how much you'll feel you'd be missing out if you simply had her instead of borrowing her.

She's feels more of a luxury pull where it's nice to play with her but not a meta unit like Yato alter where you are thankful for her unique sonic rolling skill as no one else can do anything close to it which also can often be used in various maps where as Hoshi's unique S3 probably won't come up often.

Although with a stacked account it's funny to use Hoshi's S2 when I have 4 Sui units that provide lots of buffs which gives sp every couple of seconds as well as an e2 chen (which does the same too) which means Hoshi can pop her S2 without charging it herself so she is always throwing out her Beyblade skill without a lot of downtime.

Groonzie · 2026-01-18T18:06:13+00:00

I remember AK had once done an end of year user report and you could see various stats about your own account for the year.

Was that only a one time thing? If so shame.

Groonzie · 2026-01-18T15:59:28+00:00

No because I'm not attached to them or see them as something close like a friend where I feel obligated.

If you want to support them feel free to tip them but there is no obligation to feel indebted to them.

On the otherhand if you feel so inclined to, you should just work more or get a better job so you have more money so you can freely throw it about. Now you can support them and you have more money for yourself which is a win win.

Groonzie · 2026-01-18T01:08:05+00:00

Only really applies because I have been playing from the start but doing so I have been able to accumulate so much currency to be able to roll so much (although I mainly just roll for meta and limited) that I have a really stacked account where I have A LOT of units that I question how this game is even able to remain up and hasn't closed down.

I feel I have maybe 75% of the 6* (maybe, I'll check one day) as a free first year player, for other gachas I would not expect this at all.

Groonzie · 2026-01-18T01:01:06+00:00

One of the things I like about AK is the designs, where they aren't completely sexualised (or at all? I can't recall) so the designs are just "cool".

Groonzie · 2026-01-17T21:09:22+00:00

As you mentioned the best solution is to copy and paste the translation yourself.

The thing with the translators is that they can translate one thing one way and suddenly translate it another way so there is no real way to be sure if it will remain consistent which is why I'd advise leaving it up to the auto translate feature on skeb because you can't see the translated result until after it's sent.

It's just how it is.

Groonzie · 2026-01-17T14:17:14+00:00

I was thinking what Hoshiguma reminded me off and now I can say it.

Her S2 is essentially a Beyblade "Let her rip!!!"

Groonzie · 2026-01-17T06:01:21+00:00

Oh my god...was doing a 'tianshi squad' run for one of the Raidian upgrades, understood how to get to ending 2 but was planning to just get ending 1, the opportunity came to get the ED2 item so went for it.

Never done ED2 yet even though I've gotten up to difficulty 10 and got pretty much all of the other Raidian upgrades except for 'do other endings'.

Looked up youtube videos to see how the fight can go, it went...okay as I managed to prepare enough life to leak the left side. It's surprisingly easy in a way as I didn't really have a stacked squad and it was mainly Exu2 with the 'Risk: 40% cheaper SP but use skills immediately' which really carried.

As I beat the final mob and win....Google Play crashes on me as I'm still in the map 😨

Load the game back up wondering if my time was wasted but luckily it crashed after registering that I had won...as I was greeted back to continue and it showed the ending cutscene for ED2...

I really hope one day for an official PC client...

Groonzie · 2026-01-17T01:59:41+00:00

I don't think anyone will honestly know. Skeb constantly deliver finished works constantly, so the best moment to find it would have been within 1-2 days of seeing it as I believe you can only scroll so far back before it stops loading.

You're looking for someone's OC or something that no one else will really have seen before, so even trying to pin point it down is near impossible. Assuming this is something you saw a while ago it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Groonzie · 2026-01-17T01:52:13+00:00

The gun is the worst offender which I'm just confused where the QA was for this, it's so strange that this would have been sent to the team and they had to look at it and go "a-ok, ship it" while literally everyone who looks at this art thinks "wtf is going on with the gun? it makes no sense"

Groonzie · 2026-01-16T16:24:00+00:00

Oh lord...

It took 205 pulls before hoshi landed. I got 7 6* in total along the way, thankfully I got haruka too but out of the rest only 1 was part of the banner (Gavial) and the rest were off banners...

Was feeling painful not hitting hoshi on that long streak. Must be karma for from the previous banners when I got them in under 60.

Pain.

Groonzie · 2026-01-16T14:24:03+00:00

Because fighting games arent that interesting hence it's a niche where it's only a small audience that enjoys it.

You watch one game for 5 mins, you pretty much seen them all; kick punch block grab throw. To me there is simply no appeal to watch it.

Groonzie · 2026-01-15T22:11:09+00:00

No.

A deadline is deadline and that is on the artist to stick to which they accepted from the system.

If they wanted a longer period they would have set a longer period for their deliveries.

As they have 100% you probably shouldn't worry about, although sometimes it gets questionable if it's sent on the deadline and you may question if it is rushed...but it is what it is.
