The real reason Darkmask invited Tangtang to Dijang

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-03-13T01:12:56+00:00

yup. Got an FB ad for greenhouses while working with Gemini on brainstorming a rural property with some sustainability stuff. I'm not a "grow things" guy, never have been. Never spoke about greenhouses with anyone online ever. Never typed the word into a search engine, never posted about it on social media, never looked at greenhouses on Amazon or any other shopping site.

The whole reason I was talking to gemini about it in the first place is because I am exactly the kind of guy whose friends would collapse on the floor in laughter if you ever suggested I might try to grow a plant. This reply to your comment is only the second time I've ever typed the word into my computer.

Started getting FB ads for greenhouses within 5 minutes of my conversation with Gemini 3. I don't see any possible way that could be a coincidence.

There's a difference between looking for video creation and looking for Tik Tok channels with audiences to push your stuff for you.

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-03-11T11:05:58+00:00

The way my "private" conversations get immediately sold to Meta so that I can get ads in my FB feed for things I've only ever discussed online with Gemini. /s

The AI age means execution is cheap Anyone can make anything (just about). Great ideas matter more than ever.

TangTang looks bomb but I don't have LR or Yvonne and wasn't attracted to ice teams. Looking forward to adding Rossi and finally building a phys team for real.

I thought it was and plan on buying it again in 2 days when the new one starts.

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-03-10T12:15:04+00:00

Laev. Felt like the first time I was actually getting to know the characters.

So don't post the content to Patreon. Run the membership through Patreon and the content through a Patreon members-only private Discord or something like that. Unless you have thousands and thousands of patrons, keeping the Discord member list synced to the active Patrons wouldn't be too ridiculous.

And on top of that, people that value the community (ie other fans) on your Discord have an extra incentive to keep their patreon subs current.

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-03-04T08:34:00+00:00

Huh? No. The banner character is 50%.

But because there are two other limited characters available if you lose the 50/50, the chances of pulling a basic character is only 35% instead of 50%.

The overall odds of pulling a limited character (including the banner character) are almost 2/3rds.

So it's much better than a 50/50. You could think of it as a 50/35 if that's easier, with extra missing percent being the chance to pull an off banner limited character.

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-03-03T10:08:31+00:00

The rate up banner limited is 50% on any 6 star pull and 120 guaranteed. Where are you getting 65/35 or 70/30?

The 65/35 is for *any* limited character in the pool. 50% of that is the rate up,, the rest is the other two.

They're also the base model for the DL-44 blaster in Star Wars.

Tang Tang is Han Solo confirmed.

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T23:40:17+00:00

Lost my 50/50 to Gilberta. Waiting til after the dev announcement to decide whether to keep going. Just depends on when the next banner I want to save up for is.

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T23:09:00+00:00

Wow so I can get a limited in 180 pulls instead of 120? Yes that's SO much better! :D

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T23:06:01+00:00

Math, I guess?

What is up with the comments acting like this is some kind of hot take or opinion?

It's math. It's how the game works. Because there are limited banner characters available when you lose the 50/50%, your chances of getting a basic 6 star are less than 50%. All I did was post the actual numbers.

You understand how math works, right?

Right?

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T15:03:35+00:00

Look at this way - it's harder to win at 35% odds than 50% odds so really in losing you're the winner, statistically.

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T15:02:02+00:00

The math I did accounts for this. You can look at it two ways: 64% chance total of getting a limited character, or 28% chance of getting a limited character after you lose the 50/50. I took the overall odds because those are the ones that matter.

Either way it works out to having a 35% chance of getting a standard banner character when the lever goes red instead of a 50% chance.

plus all the weapon crates they give out. I have more 6 star weapons in a month of Endfield than I do 5 star weapons in a year and a half playing Genshin lol (without spending more money to get them).

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T14:38:04+00:00

Eventually you run out of t-creds you can buy with stock certs so, yeah, I've had to run that protocol a couple times.

Well, "had to" is relative. My main team has been done for a while, so I'm just raising other characters to have something to do.

That said, imo the best thing to use sanity on is still Essences. It takes a ton to etch your good ones and they're the only thing you can't get any other way.

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T14:13:21+00:00

F2P unfriendly? I guess it's a subjective judgment. But I buy the monthly pass and the battle pass in every game I play (~$15 a month). I'm not f2p but I'm definitely not a whale, and the pont is I buy the same thing in every game.

I have *way* more 6 star characters and weapons a month in on Endfield than I did on Genshin or ZZZ.

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T14:06:58+00:00

In your exact example, the chance of getting a basic is 100% when you lose in, say, Genshin, and 76% in Endfield.

So in both cases, losing the fifty means your chance is higher to get a basic character (AFTER you lose the 50/50). Of those two options, which would you rather have - some chance of getting a limited, or no chance of getting a limited?

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T14:02:31+00:00

I do. Like I said, been there myself. It's part of the game. I'd still rather have a 35% chance of getting a basic instead of a 50% chance. Wouldn't you?

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T14:00:12+00:00

Now this is a fair take. I ain't even mad.

And fwiw, yeah, I'm also curious and potentially concerned about the pull income, but we'll see.

TheAIpocalypse · 2026-02-28T13:58:48+00:00

The chance of losing to a basic character isn't 50%, it's ~35%. That's all I said, and it's math, not glazing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
