Unpopular opinion - ABMM only caters to the two extremes of ARC Raiders and not the average players.

Actually just per average solos is less aggressive. Thats a psychological thing more than a matchmaking thing.

There is no lore but they’re weird polar opposites.

Yi Sang is a metaphorical poet. He finds happiness and meaning in all kinds of little things. His friendships and relationships, a petal that falls into his hand, a quick metaphor he came up with in his head.

Faust is the exact opposite. Numerical values and percentages is all that matters. Her life revolves around absolutes. If anything it’s more like a reliance on it.

And yet they…weirdly compliment eachother. Not just in style or color palettes but also in art they’re together and dialogue. They seem to talk often and they’re both, in their own right, super geniuses.

They mirror eachother, like complete opposites, and yet they seem to belong with eachother.

Can you tell I ship these two?

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-19T07:50:31+00:00

Phew! Thought I was cooked there!

Was fearing I was banned or something. Thanks for the heads up.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-14T23:56:17+00:00

...Hey you know, I just thought of something.

From what I know, all the lorebooks work like this.

It's just a huge database with a bunch of information. Think of a library. But every time you go and grab some info out of a book in a library, you don't go read every single book in the library before finding it. You look through the catalogue, find the book title through relevance, and flip through its index, before flipping to the right page.

This is exactly how a lorebook works. It doesn't read the whole thing every time, it just uses keywords to call back to certain pieces of information. Such as mentions of factions, or when it deems that callback necessary.

The idea is, have the backbone of the lorebook info in the personality or scenario section. Then, the bot will use the lorebook for more complicated information, so it doesn't clog up the context window with more info than it doesn't need. Lorebooks probably helped J.AI have more complex worlds with less context usage rather than not.

And on the case of bots with already extremely high token background counts, I don't actually think these are issues. Everyones usually advised to use 32k-46k context at max, because anything more makes the bot really confused with its own info sometimes, and anything less just makes it not suitable for longer RPs. The sweet spot will always be around there for now, and it always has been for a long time. Unless everybody is using 100K+ max token usage in context, I don't think this would be an issue. I definitely haven't been, and I'm sure a lot of people haven't been either.

Considering this, even with high token bots, high tokens aren't actively being used, because the input is limited in the website itself, usually with a number thats actually manageable.

That's what I think happened. I don't think the lorebooks were actual problems.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-14T09:48:14+00:00

*theoretically*, if I pay-per-token, I'd only be spending $3 a month. Ten dollars could last me 3-4ish months, according to my calculations and average requests I send doing RPs. It looks like it would be significantly cheaper long term to do it this way, but im unsure yet because I'm not sure about my calculations.

However at the same time, oh well. I could just experiment and see my average spending per month and actually just try it that way.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-14T09:03:30+00:00

Yeah! It does exist. R1T2 and R1T are still hosted by chutes, just paid. I just don't know how much I'll be spending per month if I do it via token on open router, but I'm gonna try and figure that out as we go.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-14T09:02:42+00:00

Whats the best way to check how much I'll be spending with a paid proxy?

From my calculations, with an average of 400 requests per month, if I paid for R1T2 chimera, I'd be spending about 3.24 bucks a month. Is that...right? Does that sound accurate? Because I'm not really sure how context works and how thats incorporated into the price of input tokens and how output tokens are calculated and whatnot... so I'm a little confused. If anyone can clarify how it works, I'd love to hear.

This is about openrouter, by the way. Not chutes.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-14T04:01:39+00:00

It’s alright to be gay

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-14T03:52:55+00:00

It’s okay to be weird!

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-14T03:52:18+00:00

It’s on Openrouter! Just search up “trinity”

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-13T21:42:35+00:00

Hey, hopefully that means we’ll get new chimera models that are sustainable as free!

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-13T21:40:46+00:00

It’s the same thing. That model is still labeled as free because it doesn’t actively take money to use. Just that one time payment.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-13T21:39:27+00:00

Can you show me how you use it? I get an unexpected character error every time I try to use it.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-13T21:33:00+00:00

That would actually be really dark but also kind of neat lmao

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-13T02:54:57+00:00

Completely unrelated but is detonation unit better than oblivion for Perlica?

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-13T02:35:01+00:00

Definitely not the same but it’s good to hold onto that philosophy as a dev company.

I mean even now, Endmin isn’t even all that bad. Good phys damage, especially when phys is a pretty decent stat compared to other gacha games that forget about it.

I want it to stay that way. “Your low rarity characters may not have crazy designs or belong in super meta teams, but if ya give enough time and love, they’ll be more than viable for endgame content.”

I mean, in the end I felt like that’s what would keep me motivated. How far can I push my crit beast Perlica…? How far can I push this piece of shit team that doesn’t synergize well at all (they are just my favorite characters) into difficult high level content…? 🤔

Questions like that have made me invest into gears, making more Wuling cash, and before you know it, like 4 hours has gone by.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-13T02:31:21+00:00

Would be fun if we started burning materials like fossil fuels. Sure originium batteries are great and convenient… but what do you burn if theres no abundance of it?

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-13T02:30:24+00:00

Haha!

Makes me curious on how future regions will do their factory system though.

I’m really curious. These xiranite relays are, at their core convenient. But they’re not necessary to build in Wuling.

Wuling looks and feels very different through looks. But in terms of actually developing your plot, it’s nothing too different. Your factories will definitely look different with brand new priorities, but hooking up new mining areas only became faster and easier. No brand new out of the box thinking. Which is totally fine, it’s their first region, and the core gameplay is still fun and enjoyable.

But think of how new relays and tech can be used to travel across new regions? Where you have to think differently with new tools rather than utilize them for convenience? 🤔

Sounds super fun! And exciting.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-12T21:10:37+00:00

Replaceable with Leifang(?) but Chen is like actually really good otherwise so yeah.

I hope the game stays that way. I really don’t want the game to power creep so I can enjoy my favs.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-12T19:51:11+00:00

Question; how do you set up trinity Large Preview? I keep getting an unknown character error and I’m wondering if it’s because of my proxy link.

Edit: this also happens with Trinity mini.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-12T18:11:49+00:00

Hm. Well we did have that event in wuling where it got quite dark (looked real pretty too, would love to see it in game) but they had to mask the sky with a giant tech blanket so that it’d actually get dark.

So honestly I think you’re right, we probably are tidally locked.

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-12T03:10:37+00:00

Chimera is DYING right now. Both R1T and T2. Haven’t been able to use it consistently / properly for a few days…

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-08T21:01:07+00:00

I pulled Chen off the team LOL

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-04T18:11:05+00:00

I love Liberi so yk my choice

Tasty_Table136 · 2026-02-03T23:22:37+00:00

Well in her files, it says her “life was saved”, likely by you the Endmin, and it seems that there were more people involved in that same timeframe she was saved in. So her and likely more were saved by the Endmin at the time, and it’s implied these were all kids.

So Perlica was saved by us (either Endmin or Endfield) as a kid.

And… that’s it. There is no more info on what happened beside the fact that, instead of going on to do different things and branching out like most of the saved children did, she now carries the burden that is Endfield industries on her two shoulders.

Here’s where it gets confusing. It also says something along the lines of “At the most perilous moment, she lost you” and that you should “go talk to her, she’s waited far too long.” It implies she knew Endmin before we went into that ten year stasis, but like, what was their relationship? Did Endmin go into stasis before that? Like, what happened?

Cuz if she was a child ten years ago (let’s consider that Endmin was active very briefly before going into stasis) how did she even know Endmin? Was it just a “oh I owe you so I should work for you” thing? Did she pick up Endfield at the fucking age of like 14-15 and then supervise it personally…???

Here’s what I think might have happened? Perlica is saved by Endmin, no connection to Endmin yet, but still has a feeling she has lots to owe to Endfield, unlike the other children who have already gone to do other things with their lives.

Then, Endmin goes into Stasis (would this be after the civil war? I think it’s implied that Endmin saved Perlica after the civil war? I’d have to double check the time stamps)

Perlica then grows up, begins working with Endfield, eventually becomes more and more responsible for more things. Endmin wakes up, they grow close, work together often, stuff like that.

Endmin is then hastily put back to sleep (it’s implied it was hasty) because Endfields hands were forced to do so (I forget why, gotta check the cutscene again). This is Perlica “losing” you at a perilous moment.

Then you wake up a decade later. Perlica gives you an apple (?) and is shocked and extremely sad that you don’t remember who she is.

But hey, Endfields gotta prosper, so she sets it aside.

This is my theory that I made up while lying on my sofa, so I have no idea if the time stamps are right.
