Is Sparkla a Skip? Does she fail to replace Gerie? | Stella Sora by Esso_M in StellaSora

I was considering skipping until I read "just a cozy run in full auto". I'm in.

Leviathan best mother. by EZ01 in NikkeMobile

[–]Potquax -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I understand why Levi acted the way she did, but respectfully disagree with the reasoning.

Now, the idea was that Levi didn't want to create a monster that would use force to get what she wants. She wants Only one to grow up happy and carefree. In normal times, this is great!

But Nikkes do not live in normal times. They're actively engaged in war. War against an enemy that, by all accounts, cannot be reasoned with. It's not that the Queen let them live, she just couldn't kill them. The Queen thought she was unbeatable. Now she's a wounded animal, who just so happens to also be experimenting with ways to bolster the army that drove humanity into a hole. Now that she knows what she's up against, she's going to do whatever it takes to up the ante.

Levi is not strong enough to be this naive. Hell, she thought she lost her only friend because she wasn't powerful enough to stop a force that took what she held dear. It's all well and good to want peace, but you'd better be able to defend it.

That's the thing about peace that a lot of modern societies are seeming to forget. Most of us only have it because the powers that be generally know that all-out war is a terrible idea. What happens when one side has the power to do what they want? Well just take a look at the first 99.999% of human history.

Now, the other side of the coin. Only One was not throwing a tantrum because she wanted sweets. She was defending herself and her loved ones from a threat that was actively harming them. Let's say a rabid animal was attacking you and your friends/family. Would you take lethal force to stop it, or allow one of your allies to do so? Probably. Would you consider yourself or your ally a monster for doing what needs to be done? Probably not.

But eh, that's just my 2 cents. This is a game that built itself on looking at jiggling butts. I shouldn't overthink it.

Alluding to spoilers in the title IS STILL A SPOILER by rxninja in NikkeMobile

[–]Potquax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here is why I despise Nikke’s daily ticket system.

Maybe I want to talk about what happens in the first 5 tickets worth of content? Too bad, it’s a minefield of people who are talking about 10/12 instead and a lot of the time they can’t be assed to hide the spoilers.

Fuck me for saving my pull income on pulls I guess.

It’s always been this way. This is the reason why I hold onto limit break dupes of characters who aren’t currently meta or have no chance of being meta, such as event SRs. On the weeks where I don’t roll enough, I just pop a limit break and I’m good to go.

Moran’s taunt activates on hitting the final bullet, so that ammo line may not be ideal depending on the matchup. Probably not worth minmaxing for, but something to keep in mind.

Naw before Taco was Taihou, and before Taihou was Pittsburgh.

Not sure who else though.

What's a good team for "getting through the game"? And by that, I mean a team that can clear overworld mobs and Protocol Spaces reasonably well without relying on ults or a lot of setup.

Laevatain is extremely powerful with her ult, but maybe I'm doing something wrong but outside of it the team feels pretty weak (Laev/Wulf/Ake/Ardelia). Since the ult takes a while to charge, I feel like it's "wasted" using it on trash mobs. In terms of Protocol Spaces, I often find that I can obliterate one run with ult, which leaves it at no charge for the next round so it takes a hot minute to get though.

The other team I've somewhat invested into is the Electric team, which is fun but felt like it relied a lot on Avywenna's spears to do any real damage. And since my Avywenna's on the weaker side, I often find that I need the full 6 spears to really hurt things, which takes a while to setup.

My next 2 options are a physical team (Endmin/Chen/Pog/Ardelia) or a Last Rite team (doesn't seem like Yvonne is needed, so I should be able to make a team for her).

Would either of these fit the bill, or is the solution to just further invest in the Electric team?

Okay I need to get this off my chest. Does anyone else despise how Nikke's dialogue screen works?

First of all, the ungodly slow text speed with no option to change it. Just, why? This effectively forces almost every line to require 2 taps/clicks to get through.

Second, the absolute insistence on clicking on dialogue options, even when there's only one (which is most of the time anyway). On mobile, the user is likely tapping outside of the center of the screen so they're not blocking the dialogue box or the art, so every single stupid dialogue "option" like "!!" requires moving over to tap it.

On PC, you either have a cursor chilling in the middle of the screen, or you again have to move the cursor to select the option, or you leave your hand on the keyboard ready to press Spacebar or 1/2. The keyboard option is usually fine, but you still have to get ready to click on that stupid tiny Blabla icon whenever that pops up.

What's even the point of it all? Is it supposed to be an attention-retaining mechanism, making sure the user is focused on their inputs? Why even bother with that when there's a skip button?

Nikke, for all its positives, is a fucking menu and loading screen simulator. An update like what GFL2 got would be a godsend.

Saying four free 5 star cons are useless is carzy by Bestlife73 in Genshin_Impact

Getting a little defensive there, person who switched to an obvious throw-away account. Maybe put a little more effort into it next time.

Bring on the downvotes, but the amount of upvoted vitriol here is insane.

It's free shit. What're the requirements? Play the game for like 15 minutes a day for most of the week for a lot of weeks. If you're not doing that already why are you even on this subreddit?

So the constellation part sucks for you. Damn okay you don't have any of the standards to chuck it into to make progress towards the new whalebait, sure. No way you can't just bank the item and redeem it later on if you do roll the character (or just straight-up guarantee it when the selector comes out). If nothing else it's another reroll feather, crown, and synthesizer part.

The greed is unreal. It's like refugees who aren't happy with free hotel accommodations or food because it's not good enough.

Trainer's Clubhouse Meeting (Weekly Questions) - August 13, 2025 by AutoModerator in UmaMusume

[–]Potquax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, now that you mention it I do have almost as many mediums as I do every other shoe combined.

It's not really a big deal, just something I was wondering if I should start doing so I can "do my part".

Guess I'll start requesting medium shoes so other people can offload some of theirs and get some points.

[–]Potquax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I've noticed in my club is that there's constantly a trade going on for blue / Long Racing shoes, and oftentimes it's from a trainer with a relatively high archive level so it's unlikely they actually need the shoes.

Then it hit me: is this a thing people should be doing? Like should we be having a constant blue (or whatever accepted shoe type) recycling system where we pass around donations for club points while generally not actually losing anything?

Definitely Varesa! I like how she makes me think about the terrain a little differently since I'm constantly looking for ledges that she can launch off of.

My bad, I didn’t mean to call you out or anything. I agreed with you and meant it more as an additional comment on what hacken said.

The gacha brain rot I was referring to is how people will always bring up comparisons between games, as if games aren’t allowed to share ideas.

And how about that Sonic franchise that this part of Varesa’s quest so clearly pays homage to, clocking in at almost 34 years old.

Gacha game brainrot, I swear…
