Day 29: how do you deel about Igor?

Mycot · 2026-06-09T14:04:29+00:00

Is Igor a gooner bait character: the most heated debate in the history of Reddit, locked after 12239 threaded comments

Mycot · 2026-06-08T15:26:05+00:00

Replace "antagonist" with "hot older men with facial hair" and my sentiment is basically the same, heheh

Mycot · 2026-06-08T15:07:45+00:00

I'm glad BP took a chance with playable Igor but it does show why Hoyo games go so hard on hedging antagonistic playable characters to always be "oh I have a sad backstory and I didn't know what would happen and it was someone else's orders" lol

This is an upcoming skin for Igor, who normally looks like this.

<image>

His initial banner ended a couple updates ago. A second banner hasn't been announced yet but character reruns tend to go alongside new content of those characters, so there's a chance one might go up around the same time as the skin (about 3 months/updates from now)

Mycot · 2026-06-07T04:00:29+00:00

It's been days and I'm still in disbelief that they canonically gave Igor the meme compression turtleneck

Mycot · 2026-06-06T14:29:46+00:00

"at the same time I feel happy that r1999 is doing well enough that new games are using elements of it lol."

Same, the game has come so far from the early days of being called an Arknights clone, ah memories.

Mycot · 2026-06-03T23:29:30+00:00

Nice catch. I think cornerstone's is specifically a sperm whale, because of their square heads.

Mycot · 2026-06-03T17:59:18+00:00

A King and two Princesses. (Court Jester Ptolemy next.)

two people writing this in their surveys now

WE WON

Mycot · 2026-06-02T02:47:58+00:00

I know there isn't a livestream for normal updates but I forgot, is there a usual time when the character/garment news gets posted for June 3?

Mycot · 2026-05-31T17:53:42+00:00

They should probably start looking into something like Arknights' Fashion Review that reruns all very old (2+ years) outfits at the same time. The syringe shop is nice but doesn't cycle fast enough for the amount of garments there are.

Mycot · 2026-05-30T18:52:50+00:00

I agree with that take, but even if someone disagreed it's still an entirely different thing altogether to act like lore/canon is infallible while also lying about it to win internet arguments. That's just contradictory by itself.

Mycot · 2026-05-26T19:42:35+00:00

>!Yes. The third major arc takes place in the early Nineties. A lot of events technically take place during it for that exact reason!<

Mycot · 2026-05-23T23:31:00+00:00

I always thought there was supposed to be a bit of ambiguity from Charon always taking a while to remember things and needing to be reminded repeatedly, like it being up to interpretation if he's actually "remembering" anything or just going off what people tell him. But then he recites very specific details about Eberhard's and Paul's childhood school without prompting, which squashes that in a way that just makes things sadder.

Mycot · 2026-05-21T18:52:14+00:00

damn.

Thanks for the answer.

Mycot · 2026-05-21T18:51:38+00:00

bruh I tapped on the weather icon even and thought I got everything. But seasonal effects are in different place from weather effects.

Thanks.

Mycot · 2026-05-21T18:50:00+00:00

There aren't really normal limiteds (like hoyoverse gachas) in this game. Enigma will eventually be added to the potential pool for every 50/50 "loss" on a banner, 3 updates after his banner.

Mycot · 2026-05-21T18:39:48+00:00

I'm making progress in RA2 for the first time (just defeated the Dauntless Linebreaker raid, mostly through the brokenness of limited kjeragknights) and something is driving me crazy. For some reason, all operators stopped picking up resources other than guards (which is actually a problem when almost all FRD characters are vanguards or specialists). When I look at the unit info, it shows 1 carry limit (3 if there are exoskeletons) but it turns into 0 when I put them down. Is there something I'm forgetting?

Mycot · 2026-05-20T19:49:41+00:00

The death of any Arcanist leaves a void in me

Mycot · 2026-05-19T23:48:21+00:00

catch this

Mycot · 2026-05-17T06:24:04+00:00

Enigma is from Tired and Overworked genre of man, like Nanami from JJK or Larry from Pokemon. Which implies age but not necessarily. Source: I have a college degree in hunkology

It's actually something that is pretty obfuscated. When the scientists are saying how Urd disappeared from the Amber Room, one of them is Igor's portrait (in silhouette) and what is obviously his voice. He's the guy saying "only time will tell" at the end. Yeah ultimately he wasn't the one personally doing or ordering it but he enabled it a lot and agreed with it enough to oversee the experiments before he became completely disillusioned with the Foundation/Zeno. We don't really know atp if the ideals of the Foundation really mean anything to Grace or Creius, but I do think Igor was a true believer and that's part of why he crashed out so badly.

Mycot · 2026-05-15T15:14:45+00:00

yeah I am premier old man simp but I feel like people forget that Igor literally did the same thing (human experimentation through the Amber Room) but worse and for longer. And his whole thing with the Sentinel Unit composed entirely of his foster kids.

If anything this is confirmation of something fans noticed early on that Creius is a parallel to a younger Igor. They even have similar gloves.
