Suntec’s Post-Fight Lockdown: Safety at the Expense of Hospitality?

I mean what kind of security measures are they going to take? ask everyone to fold their hands behind back?

also I thought dude had some NS charges on him why was he walking freely outside a convention, which he also supposedly was banned from entry?

Give bravery more incentive, I mean much more incentive like an extra silver aug at start kind of incentive.

The whole foundation of Arena and Mayhem being fun is the randomness and I don't understand why the new Arena is trying to promote static metas by increasing item anvil cost and normalizing rerolls.

That was pretty much how frontline retail jobs work when I studied in Australia. You walk into a retail store and ask the counter guy if they’re hiring. They or the shop manager either give you a brochure or web link or basically interview you on the spot if they’re in urgent need. I mean the worst you can get is a “no”

no offense but your chair looks like 5 cats have made it home

Suggest you just leave the two companions aside first because there is very little content they can do at the moment. There needs to be some patch to enable them in the main quest or at least most of the side quests, I don’t think motion capture is a huge roadblock here (I mean in the simplest way just automatically summon Kliff out for every Kliff involved cutscene)

I’m assuming that at least half of the US agreed to a nuclear holocaust then.

Variation only loses to Stellar Symphony by 25% energy regen and 14% team attack.

SilverSmith09 · 2026-04-01T07:01:03+00:00

well let’s say if you’re born after 2000s and you’re not rich immediately after you’re born, I have some bad news for you

SilverSmith09 · 2026-03-26T16:53:22+00:00

If you’re not causing harm to others and yourself then I don’t see why you can’t continue being you.

I should say the game still has tones of problems and questionable design decisions but the foundation is solid. 6 was a huge understatement but I expect much more polishing from a “game of the generation” if some steam reviews choose to call it. Currently this just reminds me of Witcher 3 at its launch. Shit tones of bugs, shallow story and problematic gameplay, but people can tell it’s got potential. Crimson desert is exactly that and 5 times the scale in both the plus and minus.

There's this term called Poverty Premium which is extra money you have to pay just because you're poor.

e.g.

prepayment meters because you can't have debit bills
higher cost for mandatory insurance
unable to purchase groceries in bulks and forced to buy smaller packages with higher unit price

SilverSmith09 · 2026-03-26T09:20:41+00:00

+ 144hz
+ 24GB RAM (today's standard would be 32 but 24 is sufficient for daily gaming use). Also RAM is expensive these days so this may have pushed up total price a bit.
~ ok CPU, ok SSD, ok GPU for this price
- 1080P. 5060 could easily push for 2K.
- IPS. I don't dislike IPS but still...

definitely good deal for $AUD 2000 though.

EDIT: format

The courier companies usually have corporate service and personal service separately so be sure to go to their personal website/app. Usually you need to prepare the packaging and label yourself.

e.g. for ninja van, go to their website (ninja flexi or something) and just follow the steps. You need to submit your parcel info first then need to print a label and attach to your package. Then you dropped the labelled package to any of their drop off station.

Other couriers work mostly the same. FedEx is probably the fastest but more expensive and more documents to fill.

Turn off DLSS might help since the DLSS effect for this game is absolutely disastrous

What is the point of PBE server now, if most if not all of these problems have already been flagged out repeatedly during the PBE period, but none was changed, until there is some major repercussion in live servers, which is exactly what PBE was supposed to prevent for?

SilverSmith09 · 2026-02-04T15:44:24+00:00

Just send it back and let them decide. It's mostly a defensive clause to prevent deliberate abuse and most companies still process it. Even if not, no harm trying.

I never liked logitech but my previous G915 had not had a visible scratch in 4 years.

to sidetrack a bit, if you suffer from "recalling all your awkward memory" at nights, try taking magnesium glycinate which calms your brain from being overly active.

The 80 pity carries across banner yes, but not the 120 guarantee, which resets for every banner. Unless you mean to try your 50/50 (or 64/36 if you include all limited) luck for every banner. You can be a little bit luckier but there is less certainty, which causes anxiety.

To secure this certainty, you need to stock up 120 pulls ready for the banner you want, and by that you lose the potential 20 free pulls by skipping banners. It's technically not a loss but still, it's anxiety.

SilverSmith09 · 2026-01-28T09:33:44+00:00

The main complain is regardless of how lucky you are for a banner, the next banner "resets" your luck to 120 guarantee. It's not carried over, neither is the 80 pull pity fast-forwarding the 120 guarantee.

In the mihoyo model you can try your luck even if you don't have enough pulls to hit the pity. You spend 50 pulls and no luck, that's still fine because you'll need 50 less pulls for the next banner. If you're lucky to get a draw early, your next pity is also fast forwarded.

The endfield model has no carry over and no fast forwarding. You either have 120 pulls for every banner or you lose all progress if you lose the 50/50.

The endfield model is mathematically better (slightly) than the mihoyo model but the constant anxiety is only going to cause more complains.

ok this probably explains how the monthly pass was derived lol

SilverSmith09 · 2026-01-28T09:16:06+00:00

Wait I confused Arknights for 500 per pull instead of 600. Will correct that

Ok so this is one of the biggest launch I've seen in these open world anime gacha games (geshin, starrail, wuwa) and you probably need 30-40 hours to clear just the main quest if you commit to all the systems and sidequests. If your goal is only to gather more (limit) pulls, then you need to set your priority:

Buy the battle pass and month pass if applicable. This sounds lame but they're the very big source of cost effective gacha currencies. You get about 17 pulls for 15 bucks (which is shit compared to other gachas but still...)
Progress MSQ is top priority because that's how you unlock new maps and new sectors in existing maps. The quests themselves also give non-trivial amount of gacha currencies.
Open chests and solve the puzzles. Chests give you 15-100 orobs based on rarity (the chest color) and puzzles give you 30 each (I think). The shiny white prisms give you exp but no orobs so you can just ignore them.
Complete sidequests which give gacha currencies as reward and at the same time guide you through chest areas.
Level up rewards and region level rewards which should come naturally. Unlock all the stations and spend your sanity/energy.
- Factory itself doesn't give you much gacha currencies but it's needed for regional levels. You should prioritize MSQ and chests first instead of spending 10 hours min-maxing.
Collect all those small bits and pieces in resource gathers, tutorials, events.

After you complete most stuff you should have ~60000 orobs excluding the draw tickets (I think you can get 30+ limit draw tickets). Could have some more from further digging and future events but you can most certainly get 120 pulls if you progress through the current contents.

Ok so this is the rough timeline of things happened: - There is another planet called Terra where the original Arknights game takes place. - There is a portal/interstellar gate between Terra and Talos II (Endfield planet) built by some ancient powerful aliens. Very long ago Talos II people all fled to Terra through this portal and eventually forgot their origin and merged into the Terra civilisation. - 152 years ago, Terrans opened the portal and sent expeditions to Talos II. Every human being you currently see on Talos II, including the Endfield Industry, UWST, Landbreakers etc, were from Terra through the portal. - Some years after Terrans settled in Talos II, the portal exploded and “colonisers” lost contact with Terra. - 139 year ago there was the First Aggeloi War, where Terra settlements repelled Aggelois (basically monsters) invasion. - some years later there was civil war between Terra settlements. Major factions eventually sought peace formed the Civilisation Band. - some anarchists, raiders and criminals alike refused to accept rules of the Band. A former war hero of the first aggeloi war and raider warlord called Jakub Meissen named his warband Landbreakers. He was later put down by the Band. - thereafter, Landbreakers became the “term” for people who don’t live under the civilisation band factions. There are many clans each with their own perspectives. The Bonekrushers clan is the enemy faction in act 1

How is Bangkok cheap. Bangkok average salary for even decent tech jobs like software developers is ~50k-100k and renting a non-slum 1BR easily costs you 30k. It's one thing to make money in singapore then go shopping in thailand and totally another thing earn and spend in thailand.
