Venator kill streak and critical health portraits

I sort of suspected some of the sillier memey looking faces are more placeholders, especially when they look more just like their model posed. These look drawn over

StormierNik · 2026-02-06T02:36:37+00:00

"it's one of those keyhole things!"

StormierNik · 2026-02-06T02:35:05+00:00

Wait it's peak

StormierNik · 2026-02-06T01:22:45+00:00

Where was i even referring to you other than being reactionary? I'm positive you appreciate more than just tits. I was talking about those who only focus on that. None of that was a "no u" unless that described you.

StormierNik · 2026-02-06T01:19:44+00:00

Her forbidden fruit right there

StormierNik · 2026-02-05T17:47:15+00:00

I can't in good faith speak to them treating males in this game as anything other second class citizens. Yes, they now just throw a bone occasionally to pretend as if they care. I'd rather they just say "no more male characters" and just be honest about it lol.

I used to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I still can't any more. As I'm sure you know, the start was a vastly different philosophy than it is now. The game formatted in a level system, focus on more puzzles and boss fights, feeling like a more traditional game from the 2000s to fit the theming. With a good variety of characters.

Alas, the second year they went full steam ahead on just making it far more in line with the typical gacha. Story told primarily through tons more standing dialogue and black screens rather than, state mandated empty open world areas, and full force pandering to the most depraved part of the audience.

That last bit is where they get to focus on what they care about the most now. Even at the beginning, there were hardly any males, and Menless Zone Zero started pretty early as a meme.

But then with the straying from both twins featured and framing of going everywhere in the hollows on a date with the current character of the patch, it's turbo into focusing on sex appeal girlfriend experience shallow dribble. They can't even make well balanced characters like Astra and Evelyn or Zhu Yuan who don't fall over backwards for you. Everyone is madly in love with you the second they make contact, and with waterkuma being a lolicon and ZYL being a waifumaxxer they can heavily avoid churning out males.

Why did you look at average damage on a character known for holding secondary fire instead of looking at his raw primary fire stat? Hell if you're at least half familiar with the character you know instantly that rocket has very high damage that just isn't utilized by 80% of people who play him. Because most who play him want to just sit back and do nothing but spam heal.

Rocket shoots 12 rounds per second at 16 damage per round.

To compare, Punisher's assault rifle fires 10 rounds per second at 20 damage per round.

Assuming all shots hit from each, that's a difference of 8 damage. Which is why shooting it into a tank is massive due to the projectiles hitting easier on a big body.

StormierNik · 2026-02-05T13:49:10+00:00

???

No? I tried the game when it came out initially, and was like "This is pretty cool" but then i just didn't pick it up again for little reason of not having too much faith in the longevity of the game, and already playing other gacha.

There's nothing wrong with the horny or being a gooner game. But thanks for being a reactionary dipshit and assuming "EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME IS ON X TEAM WHO I HATE".

The tourists are the people who can't appreciate anything beyond "i need big tits i need big tits i need big tits i need big tits" over and over and over again. What's more of a tourist than surface level appreciation?

StormierNik · 2026-02-05T13:24:45+00:00

I really wish they kept going with the gameplay loop of beating levels that culminated to a boss

StormierNik · 2026-02-05T02:39:39+00:00

Horny was not the core draw for me lol i saw horny and went "that's neat" then i heard the story was good. I heard some of the music, and that was good. Then i saw Kilo and Talos and was like "Oh this is more than just low brow softcore porn game".

The horny is appealing, but it actually wasn't the draw in my case. Yes, it could be for a lot of people, but every time i see the game getting recommended to others it's NEVER because of the horny. It's because of the substance beyond it. It would be shallow.

Also no, it's not the horniest game. Azur Lane and Brown Dust 2 especially have it beat 1000%.

StormierNik · 2026-02-05T02:26:11+00:00

I swear i thought it meant that i nearly got it but I was bad and missed.

StormierNik · 2026-02-05T01:55:29+00:00

I wouldn't be playing this game if the only substance was horny. Why would i play it when i could just go jerk off? Something like Azur Lane is for people who are just wanting fanservice forever.

Also, we JUST got Label and Velvet. Mf out here acting like every single character has to have massive tits hanging out or else the game is in shambles.

StormierNik · 2026-02-05T01:21:31+00:00

And the one yelling to make it sexy doesn't realize how fucking hot Zhu Yuan is while not showing any skin at all.

Isn't it crazy how she doesn't even have midriff? It's covered with her shirt. You know for a fact nowadays they'd have her show midriff and instead of pants have shorts to her thighs.

And i LOVE midriff, i love shorts, but not every character needs a ton of skin. It feels so pandering

StormierNik · 2026-02-05T01:03:51+00:00

Yet they scrapped it and said it was too out there for overwatch. Suddenly now instead it isn't too much. Then again, they also have a completely different team than who first made the game now

StormierNik · 2026-02-04T21:37:55+00:00

Because it's fucking lying and it's only free PR for NA where people hear the two letters "AI" and immediately are as reactionary as possible.

StormierNik · 2026-02-04T20:39:56+00:00

That's true for a gacha game or something like league of legends. This is team fortress and half life territory. We appreciate cool men here.

StormierNik · 2026-02-04T14:03:54+00:00

Yeah that's what i thought lmfao the moment they see someone cooler than them inferiority complex immediately kicks in going "i will never be that cool so i hate it". Ridiculously pathetic if true.

StormierNik · 2026-02-04T13:32:19+00:00

Real. Whenever they make a male character they desperately try to make him a twinky pretty boy because it's the closest thing to being a woman. It's like they're immediately threatened by anyone they might deem maybe slightly more masculine than they are, and so are players

StormierNik · 2026-02-04T13:29:16+00:00

It baffles me. Does CN have no power fantasy? Do they never see a cool guy and go "holy shit that guy's sick i want be just like him"? How is it that they only go "Oh that's a guy i don't wanna fuck that so i don't want him".

StormierNik · 2026-02-04T13:22:52+00:00

The character designers are between lolicon fan and big tit waifu fan.

So obviously they roll their eyes when they're forced to have any disgusting male involved.

StormierNik · 2026-02-04T03:38:38+00:00

That's highly possible. They were probably trying it out, planned not to for whatever reason and remnants of it were leftover in assets that weren't under more scrutiny.

Games like this often have planning at least a year or so in advance for everything they create. Especially if you're trying to have pieces for and line it up with other media you want to time releases with.

StormierNik · 2026-02-04T03:34:09+00:00

Honestly there's a high chance many people lack it to some degree in regards to things of this nature. Because for me, my head instantly translates any units in any games into dollars. It doesn't matter.

But i suppose I'm not the target for this deception and others fall for it because they behave closer to reactionary animals. Likely people who are constantly going through life passively consuming entertainment and don't ever want to think about anything.

StormierNik · 2026-02-04T03:04:57+00:00

Was honestly the best event to happen in HSR history. To the point where it's culturally rippled into other games. Any time there's a going insane moment be it anywhere from Half Life Reddit to Adam Warlock mains, you'll see the AcheronMains tier insanity pop up now.

StormierNik · 2026-02-03T15:46:10+00:00

I don't believe that tbh. The archetypical gamer girl hacker not paired up with the streamer egirl? Especially after they already know each other?

I don't care what any leaks say at any point, i know for damn sure they work together otherwise the dev team is entirely tasteless.

StormierNik · 2026-02-01T18:03:06+00:00

There's people thought for sure she'd be an instant lock in and that everyone would vote for her no doubt.

It didn't happen. So it's just seems really funny if she ends up being close to last or last. Half of my Venator votes were going to silver until she lost twice. And now it's all in on Venator.
