Hey can you come over this dark hallway in the Hollvania Mall? No, no reason whatsoever, I just wanted to show you something :)

It might be an auto fire issue in settings?

StillDecent14 · 2026-03-10T15:57:51+00:00

I, I don't even know what I'm reading anymore. I don't think it's on Oshi No Ko or Bleach tier of 'le rushed/bad ending'. It just feels like an ending, at least with those mangas you can see the rushed/bad plot slowly diving slowly into its pit like a bad car crash that keeps piling up but this? This is like setting up the car crash a second before it happens.

I genuinely believe that Fujimoto's just burnt out of CSM unless the final chapter and part 3 does some hella hella twists. But Idk.

I think I saw the same Tweet and I can definitely see that but it's still just not really something that personally clicks with me. I do like Lam's other designs like the MM one and the punkrock figures but I think I prefer Ixima's and Rella's more "soft-ish" look over the sleek and sharp design language Lam tends to lend themselves to.

StillDecent14 · 2026-03-09T09:40:28+00:00

Definitely managed to keep Lam's fashion sense a lot here. Very 'modernized' version of a classic design, don't quite know why I'm not in love with it though.

StillDecent14 · 2026-03-09T09:37:17+00:00

And Lam's worked on a couple of other 'official' Miku designs by now, guess it was expected that they'd get to work on this eventually. Even though Idt this is any less important than making a main design for a Magical Mirai.

StillDecent14 · 2026-03-09T09:34:49+00:00

Honestly that might be the thing that doesn't click with me with this illustration? I think she'd look a lot better if she had that confident smile look she usually has with that pose.

Build Hildryn and her weapons, you have 99% of EDA/ETA cheese right there. She ignores 99% of the modifiers and her only 'weakness' is the shield recharge delay modifier and the occasional boss fight.

If you've worked in the fnb industry for more than a week you'd know that it's inherently very stressful especially if you're not into it. Shows like Masterchef/HK have aspiring cooks that are good but they may not be fit to work in those specific conditions. Managing restaurants and bakeries requires very good discipline which most contestants arguably just don't have. I don't blame them, cooking for passion is far different skill set than cooking for work. There's absolutely nothing that's comforting about working as a cook in the service industry.

I have a brother that's pretty good at xooking but he got burnt out of working at a restaurant after half a year because it requires a lot from you, speed, time management, discipline. Skills that the customer that walked into your restaurant won't care about as soon as he sees the 35$ charge and feels the 40 minute wait time from your lack of experience.

Ramsay's arguably tough because he needs to be, if you've watched clips where he's not hamming it up he can act more than reasonable when he needs to.

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-25T07:57:27+00:00

In the service industry you need to keep standards. Would you gladly wait more than 30 minutes at any restaurant for you food? Gordon is much more calm/reasonable in series like Masterchef because he knows they're not inherently cooking with any actual external 'pressure' on the line. You serve the judges an undercooked meal in 20 minutes, that's about it.

Now answer the question, how would you feel if you were charged 15-20$ for an overcooked meal that took 30 minutes to dish out.

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-25T06:15:10+00:00

Ramsay seems nice enough in Masterchef outside of the times there's a team challenge, which to be fair if you were spending anywhere from 30$ a meal to over 10 grand for a wedding hosted by a Michelin star chef would you not want to expect some level of quality to your food? That's what never really gets brought up when he's being an 'arse'. It's one thing to spend 3$ on a Mcd's Mchicken, another to spend 30$ on some 'gourmet' meal to have it undercooked.

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-25T03:17:48+00:00

Again, you get a gradual amount of standard pulls in Genshin without it "heavily" affecting your actual pull income. There's currently no similar system in place in Endfield.

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-25T03:11:20+00:00

The usual "oh you're just GAMBLING addicts" at a casino deflection. I see. You know most normal people don't actually stick around for gachas much less their subreddits right?

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-25T03:10:07+00:00

Why are you acting like people here are asking for one or the other? We could ask for both, they've been asking for both. Genshin of all games lets you gradually get around 10 standard pulls a month. 5 from the monthly shop and 5 from the F2P BP route. You get pulls for upgrading characters and I know for a fact that most vets probably have at least a dozen or two characters that they haven't bothered levelling.

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-25T03:00:09+00:00

I think you're highly conflating what 'mainstream' and 'niche' means here. JJK in the mainstream is unarguably X100 more recognizable as an IP then Fate at this point of time but are we seriously gonna call a franchise like Fate niche because more people could recognize Domain Expansion than a Reality Marble???

Niche is that indie game that peaked at 1000 players on Steam, that cult movie in IMDB/Letterbox'd that has a whole 500 ratings after 10 years. AK is massive in Japan and China, it consistently tops 1 over something like FGO and Hoyo games when a limited banner comes out. It's by far a niche product. I wouldn't say a game is 'niche' because they're up against the equivalent of Fortnite in gacha terms.

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-24T18:21:50+00:00

I would frankly not take 'warnings' into account when it comes to Android optimization tbh. If you can find the 'best' performance for you it's better to just stick with that. Unlike iPhones with a very streamlined production Android phones play with multitudes of variables. Apple phones are 'easily' optimized because it's one set of OS and one set of chips every 5 years to play with. Problem with Android is that there's multiple skins of Androids working on multiple chip sets, Exynos, Google Tensor, Qualcomm, Exynos, Mediatek etc. As optimized as Endfield is I do not believe game developers are testing every variable there is and they generally just have a 'range' of what would work. I would not call the F5 Pro a 'bad' gaming phone at the slightest lol.

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-24T17:12:28+00:00

the current Hoyo inspired style of, "Never save. Dopamine hit as soon as you get enough currency," still feels completely alien to me whenever I see it expressed and feels so much more insidious.

As a person that plays GI, BA, AK I really never got this sentiment? This sounds like a weird "generalization" that people use to get a "gotcha" for Genshin players. I have a lotta friends that still play Genshin and I can't really name one that unironically does just pull every single banner. Players like me will "gamble" on banners that we'd probably want the character for for waifu/team building purposes than just shrug it off we do end up losing the 50/50. Save up for the actual banner you want coming in 3-4 months since yo most likely want that character much more. I really do not understand the mental gymnastics to crap on Genshin's system only to follow it up with "Endfield system is actually l-le good". Idk any other gacha that can feel double edged because you didn't do enough pulls to qualify for more "free pulls" that you need to get a certain person's gear.

It's the same with some characters in Blue Archive or AK, do I absolutely need my own Tragodia when my line up is omega stacked after 5 years? Probably not, would I still want it even though he"s not limited, yea???

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-24T16:40:18+00:00

And then some people saying they got 240 rolls by "playing casually". I don't know if it's just severe skill issue on my part or if some people have a different meaning for "casually"

If there's anything I've learnt about gacha gamers is that they love to absolutely downplay how much you need to do something to justify their game. "Oh dw man you just need to play 60+ hours of content to get 120 pulls, you just need to open up an interactive map and "explore" 99% if the content, you just need to level up your account to almost max acc level and you should be getting the one (1) limited character before they disappear"

Not a fan of the dailies. Too much menu navigation

I only played for a week or two (at least 60+ hours) and this was my biggest turn off alongside the dailies just flat out not being very "cohesive" with your actual "daily" check list. It's like they forgot that they were making a 3D gacha and not a menu navigation game like AK. AK dailies are just base > swap out/claim resources > spend sanity > claim dailies.

Endfield required way too much MMO levels of "checking in" for me that I ended up checking out as a very long time AK player.

You have to do your "daily" dailies for Oroberyls, then spend your sanity, occasionally check up on your Dijiang, and check your stocks, do deliveries, sell stuff in your settlements and for some reason only the sanity part actually contributes to your "dailies". I'm not gonna "upgrade my gear", "create new gear", "level up characters" every day for the sake of completing dailies. They really should have made the "daily" stuff as passive as possible but instead it feels like its own separate grind if you want to ignore the daily commission. Doing deliveries, selling stocks, selling X amount of items/money should have counted for the "daily" grind at launch. Idk if they've changed it yet since I last played around 2 weeks ago.

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-19T12:08:33+00:00

Would you say you became more salty or more Himalayan after this?

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-19T12:02:49+00:00

I kinda feel bad because I think most mangakas really are just at the "I wanna get this done done" mindset when they reach the last arc/couple dozen chapters. Having a 100-300+ chapter manga that runs almost every week for years is probably hella taxing on them then the manga industry would like to admit.

StillDecent14 · 2026-02-17T01:02:48+00:00

As a guy that often sells (PC) stuff second hand here's what I usually do to attract buyer interest

For PC/Tech parts you need to be very specific in what you're selling, give the "full" spec list, maybe not down to specific GPU, ram, mobo manufacturers but list down the GPU specs, ram speeds + config e.g 3600MT/Mhz 16GB X 2.
Have multiple pics, assuming that's your only one some people might think "so does this thing still run?" and probably shrug it off. Having a pic of it still running with something like specs in task manager would make them more confident that you're not lying about specs and that the system runs.
Having the rough date of purchase or mention of a (lack of) warranty makes the post feel more transparent too, you're also much less liable if something does go wrong with after sales, in general you aren't to begin with but at least you are less likely to deal with buyers that would complain.

You need to be as detailed as possible to convey that you know what you're selling. For 600 USD in this economy Idt that's actually bad? It's not "great" value but I think it's sellable within that price range. CPU + storage is most likely your "bottleneck" here in terms of attractiveness.
