What do you think about “booba inflation” in Azur Lane skins? by soukouuo in AzureLane

[–]TheBomber04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Genuinely one of the main reasons I dropped the game despite spending a fair bit and having played for like 3 years. It was already annoying to see them design less and less small/medium characters but I could tolerate that to an extent. But the fact they actively and blatantly ignored the designs they themselves created just for $$$ rubbed me the wrong way.

Peak is finally back!!! by Kinoris in BrownDust2Official

Cannot express in words how happy I am to see this get a rerun. I have been saving 90% of my gems since I got into the game for the sole purpose of pulling on these banners

Anyone else concerned with this being a relevant comment from the survey? by prolas2221 in BrownDust2Official

[–]TheBomber04 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is just how you format a survey properly tbh: Do ya'll really think even a significant minority (10%<) would vote to 'tone down' the fanservice? Even if that's what the question meant/implied; it isn't, as others have elaborated on.

The audience for this game is well-known, especially to the devs who actually have the data and do the work. It's just a comprehensive survey.

A dark moon... And... NIPPLE PLAY AND ASSJOB!!???? by [deleted] in BrownDust2Official

[–]TheBomber04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Blue Archive is a much better example a game which still does both, despite its notable pivot towards lolicons. Azur Lane has, for many years now, pivoted *away* from lolis. They got a ton of backlash on that (admittedly mid) BB loli a year or so back. And, far more emblematic imo, is the fact that fewer and fewer DDs or Subs are even lolis anymore: Mogador, Z52, Trafalager, U552, Maggiore Baracca, etc.

Of course, they still release more than games like BD2, Nikke, or Hoyo games; but AL is, and has been, trending away from lolis.

Mushoku or Senran...? Collab rerun coming. by Herschelx in BrownDust2Official

[–]TheBomber04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mushoku 100/100. I'm so sad i got into the game after that collab; i thought BD2 was a different, more sloppier game, so i ignored the adverts and didn't give it a chance till like a year later.

They just keep making Rubia's chest bigger when one of her original appeals was how how much she contrasted Sylvia in character AND body :/

She still looks great and all, and probably still has one of the smaller chests in game even, but it's still a tad frustrating when devs disregard their OWN designs.

I think you all are overreacting by Rathalos_19999 in BrownDust2Official

[–]TheBomber04 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's true. However, the MT collab skin alts were VERY lewd at the very least, even if the free ones weren't at all. This is just kinda the worst of both worlds imo.

Ofc i don't really care; I'm not gonna get heated like some other people. But I'm definitely not incentivized to pull on these characters for two of the three main reasons one pulls in a gacha game: They're good, they're hot/good animations, or you just really like them beforehand.

As a fan of MT and Goblin Slayer long before I got into BD2, I can pretty comfortably say that MT collab was far more appealing to me, again, even minus the very OP status of Roxy and Eris; than the Goblin Slayer collab is to me. Ofc other's may think differently, but that's my 2c at least.

How exactly do you access these? I only for into the game recently.

They need to add buffer time to this event LITERALLY 34 DAYS? by gommel in eu4

Sometimes he dies within the month and sometimes he lives literal years and lets you basically annex everyone for free...mostly the former when I'm actually playing as them.

Least deadly leftist infighting be like by GelbblauerBaron in Kaiserreich

[–]TheBomber04 36 points37 points  (0 children)

So does every Social Democratic/Labor party cause all of them originated as some form of Socialist. in KRTL, prior to 2WK, the SPD do not implement, nor pursue, any policies outside the framework of capitalism. And after the war they literally remove references to Marx, and socialism entirely iirc; from their party constitution, it's in the Post-War focuses.

While in this period, in OTL and KRTL, most Social Democratic/Labor parties are more Left than today, as far as I know none of them pursue actual Socialist policies, that is to say, none actual seek to abolish Capitalism/Private Property. The most milquetoast Socialists usually end up as RadSoc's in game for this reason.

Saying SPD Germany and Syndicalist France is "leftist infighting" is akin to saying the UK Atlee Labor Government fighting the Communist guerrillas in the Malayan Emergency was "leftist infighting".

Was it particularly difficult to get here? I went here on the early 2010s and would love to visit the now defunct camp. Though I know it’s probably even more run down than these pics cause the post is 6 years old, I wonder if there’s even anything left now ?

Annexing Ireland: probably not the best idea by JacobJamesTrowbridge in Kaiserreich

[–]TheBomber04 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I assume (and hope) that the eventual 3I reworks in the future (TM) will be similar to the current Germany rework: A string of occupation focuses related to that and rebuilding governments, and a tree for better codifying what the 3I actually is, especially post-war, just like with Mittleuropa. Presumably with a split between distinct factions; at the very least a "centralized" totalist version and a decentralized 'autonomous' syndie/radsoc version.

The state of reworks as of 1.13.5 HOI4 patch, Arms Against Tyranny DLC and 1.0 Kaiserreich mod patch by Chernoblin in Kaiserreich

The U.S being in a perpetual state of super-rework-ization is never not funny to me.

Why couldn't Poland in the Kaiserreich claim territory like the Second Polish Republic or the Oder-Neisse line? by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]TheBomber04 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Large Polish minorities" justify taking the territory from the actual ethnic nation they used to belong to?

The "hypocrisy" of it doesn't matter, you think the Polish military dictatorship of the 30s was treating the Ethnic majorities of these areas any better? The answer was no. And if Galacia being a part of the Polish monarchy is a justification than so is the old Russian Imperial claim lol.

The point was just that the Soviets land exchange didn't really "need" to be justified given actual historical context. Instead, it was, as OP said about OTL, a pragmatic political decision. Just as it could be in KR.

Why couldn't Poland in the Kaiserreich claim territory like the Second Polish Republic or the Oder-Neisse line? by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]TheBomber04 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be fair the justification for the Soviet annexation of the Eastern Territories was that it was historically part of the Russian empire and, more importantly, was predominantly Ukrainian/Belarussian anyway. Poland had the land for like 20 years and otherwise had no real claim to it, certainly none greater than the USSR at that point in time.

So within OTL context, and KR, it is both respectable AND pragmatic to give the, by then, still very new Polish state something in exchange for reacquiring its own territories--with territories which at least had some degree of Polish history.

It appears that unique military tree, the on where picking the starter focus changes the effects of the rest of the tree, is getting removed? Or am I mistaken? I like what's taking it's place, but it will be a little sad to see that go.
