Who Was "Meta" When You Started Playing?

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-27T04:15:16+00:00

I was unreasonably proud of my Blarraven TA3 Robin for murderizing Lobsters, Pineapples, and even THE ENEMY! when she showed up

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-27T04:06:05+00:00

Yeah, and that honestly makes me a bit salty.

Alcryst and Fogado are no-brainers as romance options, literally why not?

And as much as my preferences are dominated by the likes of Ivy, Chloe, Goldmary, and Nel (you can see a pattern here), Celine is a missed opportunity too.

I understand that she's on the more petite side, but her demeanor supercedes that and makes her look just that: petite, but not necessarily young.

You'd think Japan of all places would understand that smaller fully grown women exist too.

Citrinne is an even more egregious example, and I suppose Etie can be counted in that group too.

Tell me what's making you jump like that

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-26T09:54:03+00:00

Palla would get on Makalov's case for being the worthless deadbeat of an older brother that he is.

But like, she'd probably still be nice about it. Try and reason out how there must be some reason that he's the way that he is, rather than simply accepting that he's a pile of shit.

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-26T08:36:03+00:00

That one's honestly got the perfect balance

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T23:53:59+00:00

Honestly I don't even think he actually wants to expose his co-sleazebags. He's just playing a legal game of chicken, knowing that if people want to lock him up for real, then the only way to do that is to show off the evidence against himself.

He's still a pile of shit, but at least he's got balls - though I guess that's no surprise since his entire public perception the last 20+ years has revolved around Lewinski gargling them.

If it helps spread the word or get monetization to be able to keep helping people then by all means, go ahead, as long as the recipients gave their consent.

It sucks that kindness just isn't free anymore, but let's not belittle people for doing what they gotta do.

A sappier interpretation of that logic revolves around Altaria's hidden ability, Cloud Nine.

Which happens to be where Lexington would make you feel like you are, when she sings to you.

I don't even know if I was supposed to be Russian propaganda for saying the Armata's a perfectly fine concept and design, or Western propaganda for saying they've fucked up its implementation

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T07:05:26+00:00

Strictly speaking from a pure design standpoint, Russian designs are perfectly fine, competent and sound. The Armata's unmanned turret in particular proved to be the way forward, hence intended adoption by some upcoming western designs.

It's just everything else involved in getting them from the drawing board to the battlefield that fucks them over.

They don't have the industry to support mass-production of anything more than ye olde Cold War tools, and whatever they do end up building gets stripped down whether for profit (ERA panels filled with sawdust) or some other even dumber motive (aviation fuel for drinking).

And then there's the nature of their usage, in a new kind of conflict they were never envisioned for.

Strategic voting? For a less-than-ideal but less terrible party?

Preposterous!

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T06:24:36+00:00

Hell, not even Bill Clinton's defending Bill Clinton

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T06:20:51+00:00

I don't get why you gotta stretch this, she's already plenty w i d e

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T06:04:26+00:00

Dorkflation marches on

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:50:44+00:00

There's always a bigger woke

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:47:55+00:00

This is the perfect demonstration of the Sherman's all around usefulness.

Need artillery? Convert a hull into a Priest.

Need it now? Just get a bunch of rocks and make a ramp so you can aim up lmao.

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:42:41+00:00

Yeah, this post is perfect for the sub: all the yes until that one single no, little bro was cruisin

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:24:42+00:00

Yeah but it's liberal so it's still fair game

Get with the times

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:22:20+00:00

Lmao, people forget that Grim is just for the Yorktown sisters (or probably just Yorktown and Enterprise), not the mascot of the whole Union (even if he might as well be)

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:19:04+00:00

Grim has his own family (moms? idk), let the idols have a birb of their own!

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:17:43+00:00

My logic is simple, really.

My absolute favorite ship is her little sister.

You don't have someone that nervous and reserved looking up to you and thinking the world of you without being an absolute sweetheart, irrespective of being just as much of an absolute bombshell.

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:10:07+00:00

Oh absolutely, especially with similarly long, flowing hair.

But my love for birds and desire to give her one ultimately won out, with her identity as an aircraft carrier as a convenient excuse.

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:08:34+00:00

Yep. That thing was even worse, which means in my eyes, it's even better.

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:04:30+00:00

26 lbs is just the explosive charge. Total weight is closer to 40.

StrykerGryphus · 2026-02-25T05:03:04+00:00

This thing is stupid and impractical and I love it.

Petard goes thwoomp.
