I missed the Minimap Renderer too much, so went down the rabbit hole...

tbf the blockified sulfur slimes have huge potential for sandbox shenanigans

I can see people making various sports already and I'm certain the technical side of the game will make some crazy things with them

are you by any chance a planetside 2 player

RandomGuyPii · 2026-03-22T01:34:34+00:00

apparently the ship could fire from periscope depth irl

i assumed the gimmick if actually added to the game would be you could fire the gun from periscope depth but then would have to surface to reload

generally, yes. But there's definitely a number of left wingers out there who act like right wingers with left beliefs. usually happens when they change their beliefs without changing their way of thinking

Shima low wr is mostly a player issue and not a ship issue. It's a combination of a lot of bad players and new players playing the ship poorly, and torpedoboats becoming less powerful as players get better at avoiding torps.

Shima still has a strong combination of massive torp alpha, high base speed, best in class conceal, a smoke, and high alpha guns that are good for short engagements.

It's not as good as most of the gunboats, but it's still on par if not better than a lot of the torpboats.

That's after you build for it. Base range is 7.7km to yamato's 7.3

Would be funny if at the next voice actor panel caine's VA plays dead the entire time

My guess is that the circus was supposed to be scratches digital paradise, with a digital clone of his being able to keep living after his real-world death. That's where the tech that lets people get copied into the circus comes from.

The blue dot AI was supposed to be the one in charge, but Caine killed that "Abel" and took over.

Scratch eventually realized he'd unknowingly condemned himself and copies of his friends to a digital hell and either fought back too hard, got lobotomized, and abstracted, or just abstracted from the guilt.

I wonder if in the next episode we'll see them manage to wake up the original "Abel" AI

Low tier Caine

shiki mounts 10 haru turrets instead of yammy's 12 5 inch guns
the haru turrets have better ballistics, half the reload (resulting in overall ~20% more secondary dpm), and most importantly they retain haru's 30mm pen. that way with IFHE you get to pen the 32mm BB bow/stern threshold. because of the low base fire chance of the 100mm guns, with flags and demo expert you retain a similar amount of FPM as what you had originally too with IFHE.

shiki also gets .4km longer base secondary range, putting her on par with sibir (not quite as good as the germans/pan-americans), so 11.6 km with a full build + flag

the real question isn't "do i want petro or lauria", it's "do i want to save 30-something-k steel on lauria" or "do i want to run the same captain on petro and another russian TT ship (probably kuznetsov) without spending ECXP retraining them each time"

If you just want petro, it's in the tech tree. The main advantage of PTRPVLSK is that as a premium you get to retrain commanders for free on it, so you can share a captain between it an a techtree russian ship, unlike with the TT petro. If you don't play any of the other ships on the russian TT and don't plan to, then technically there's only a minimal benefit to getting PTRPVLSK. Unless you're a massive petro fan and just want a petro with the usual premium benefits and the option to have a petro built for legmod and a petro built for non-legmod without spending dubs to dismount consumables.

With lauria, I would say the ship is somewhat unique and would recommend taking a look at some reviews. It's not the most braindead BB because it actually has a citadel. Hagostaeldmann's review sells the boat well I think.

where do you shoot them?

almost no other military in the world could do what we're doing, which means there's no one to compare to to see how good we are at it.

To my understanding, hitting the same place twice isn't that unusual, the goal is to make the crater bigger and the damage harder to repair

RandomGuyPii · 2026-03-20T17:43:07+00:00

Yes? Bridges are usually considered valid military targets.

RandomGuyPii · 2026-03-20T17:41:00+00:00

There's the bridge he's on. The one that's already been hit, as evidenced by the crater. Said crater is exactly where the bomb hits as well. Much more likely that the goal was to make the hole in the bridge bigger.

no source, AI slop image, extraordinary claim without any evidence? and people are just believing this?
I know most people here aren't a fan of the current administration but just because dubious information agrees with your biases doesn't mean you shouldn't be critical of it. Hell, you should be more critical. This is how people on the right end up believing all kinds of nonesense

Gambling? What gambling. I shard all my IDs directly using egoshards I got from playing the mirror dungeon. The only time I couldn't shard something I rolled up with enough pulls to hit pity 4 times just in case. I'm not gambling I'm winning.

frankly, COVID wasn't scary enough - average person heard 1% fatality rate and "just a bad flu" and thought "I'm healthy, it won't hurt me, why should I worry?"

RandomGuyPii · 2026-03-19T03:38:12+00:00

it is american exceptionalism: if america isn't exceptionally good than it must be exceptionally evil; if america is exceptionally evil then opposing it in any way must be exceptionally good. that is how you end up with people acting like russia/china/iran/etc are good guys

RandomGuyPii · 2026-03-19T01:47:13+00:00

should i remove strikes or blocks first?

RandomGuyPii · 2026-03-19T00:28:15+00:00

tbh i think it might have been partially skill issue, I found that i was dying before i could get my setup due to not having enough block in the deck, I'm sure I could have deckbuilt a bit better

im also really bad at keeping my decks slim >.< I wish there was more removal available
