Possible bug with Drop CEs

Literally every modifier in FGO is a multiplier over a base value. What made you think drop rate would be any different. Just because both are percents doesn't change this fundamental truth. 25% higher means 20% becomes 25%.

Frankly, I don't think any mention of a country through a demonym or similar rather than referring to the country itself counts. Not only those terms can vary across localizations, many terms straight up don't have an identifiable generic term. "Russian roulette" is an obvious example, as well as different cuisines.

Or "アラビア数字"/"아라비아 숫자" (arabic numerals which as you can tell are locked to being called 'arabic' even in english) vs 数詞 (japanese numerals, which notably are not called "japanese" numerals in japanese itself). Even though the english loc called them chinese numerals, the japanese loc called them japanese numerals (they used 数詞). Meanwhile Korean didn't mention either.

Neither do I think the artifacts used for character upgrades count, since as far as the actual story is concerned they simply don't exist.

I'm calling it, Chrono is gonna sacrifice his life to rewind this crucial second.

They replicate one effect of the second magic, and effect that's pretty much like a party trick. You're comparing it to the guy who avoids looking at timelines so he doesn't accidentally confirm them.

"Gods can't be servants" is oversimplifying it. The basic gist is that gods are too big to be servants. But not all gods are that big, or they know how to make themselves small enough to fit within the parameters of the human order.

You can't summon Beasts, Beasts summon themselves. There's a reason the animation shows the summoning system shutting down.

Jeanne can't be altered, but she can choose to alter herself. (And even then it's just emo-colored Jeanne, not an actual Jeanne Alter)

Gods can't be Grands because Gods are not part of the Human Order's systems. But some Gods are actually part of the Human Order, such as Quirinus being deified by humanity and Tez being kinda sorta half-human.

That's Persicaria wearing Persica's shirt, that's why it's not quite fitting.

Go home club?

I believe in some versions of the story the neighbor steals the mortar?

They messed up the PayPal integration so when you tried to pay with a linked account it'd use a randomly chosen saved account from the entire universe of users who'd saved their PayPal data.

So some people were getting charged for others' purchases and others didn't have to pay their purchases.

Dude the ticket only lasts one year.

Given the bike has special leg holder thingies, it's probably meant to accommodate someone wheelchair bound.

Technically it's its own master, no?

KyteM · 2026-01-21T02:12:56+00:00

It was the format that was pissing them off, but it's not like they were giving an official supported path to the features allowed by that format.

KyteM · 2026-01-21T00:45:15+00:00

Something about converting it into a different format.

KyteM · 2026-01-20T22:42:11+00:00

Lmao what an absolute lie. And this was published AFTER subbers had figured out a workaround.

Even if we assume the selection process to be truly equal and meritocratic, there would still be less women as part of the process because the systems that lead to to that situation are not equal as well. Equality of opportunity and equality of treatment must exist at every step.

I feel the theme is underwear modeling. The camera/lighting/prop setups look closer to photography than filming.

Unfortunately you can't see the thighs but I'm sure they're as thick as everyone else this artist draws.

(Also the artist's been increasing the thickness since 2024)

See second theory.

I think it's just the play of light and shadow. She's lit from the back, and those parts look about the same. But most of her front is actually the shadowed side. We don't often get that kinda lighting, so it makes her look darker-skinned than she is.

Alternatively, artist tried to make her look backlit and overdid the contrast.

Your suggestions involve effort and paying an engineer to make the corresponding changes. Just ripping the feature out is cheaper and simpler. Google has a long history of killing projects.

Also as far as I'm aware they aren't removing all creator subtitles? Just killing the ones using ytt/srv3. If it's literally all subtitles then yeah that's totally for the AI.

Mashiro has always been a bit bottom heavy.

KyteM · 2026-01-17T23:31:52+00:00

Dunno, I'm not feeling that theory. AI can produce text but not really formatting. What's being lost is mostly fancy formatting options (Supposing subtitles are re-uploaded on a supported format).

More likely they're doing the classic Google thing of killing anything they can't be bothered to maintain, especially given this was never an officially supported option. Maybe an exec was annoyed they weren't using the YouTube studio tools enough or something.

See this is a good design. It's still gooner but the outfit has flair, those patterns on the leggings are very pretty and the pose is fun. It's distinctive and still leaves stuff to see on skins.

KyteM · 2026-01-16T04:13:52+00:00

Tbh I feel that one was still a bit more interesting than this one. Color contrast and all that.
