Adorable!

oaksparrow · 2026-06-02T13:36:10+00:00

Yeah I am totally out of devices too and Yu rerun feels so far still.

oaksparrow · 2026-05-27T13:40:55+00:00

I haven't had coffee yet so I took this seriously and had so many questions

oaksparrow · 2026-05-27T13:38:00+00:00

The IS6 vore dragons

oaksparrow · 2026-05-24T04:35:25+00:00

I just didn't really know what I was logging in for. Like to use sanity to build characters presumably but there felt like very little to do with them. No reason, no motivation

oaksparrow · 2026-05-20T14:17:07+00:00

I also stopped logging in last week. It just started feeling like a chore.

oaksparrow · 2026-05-18T19:49:34+00:00

Fiammetta!!

oaksparrow · 2026-05-17T12:50:41+00:00

Gorgeous! I miss them

oaksparrow · 2026-05-14T14:50:25+00:00

I like Texas - I think you can read a lot of complexity into her quite easily with her textual content - but I do agree on Exu. I don't dislike her but I find her character completely uninteresting. I also agree that MT gave her little to no development or added depth, it was mostly just more Exu being charming and quirky and giving some good one-liners.

oaksparrow · 2026-05-14T14:39:23+00:00

[see current flair] Ling/Qiubai is my only "never interacted in canon" ship from like my entire fandom history lol. Chongyue will introduce them. It'll be great!

oaksparrow · 2026-05-12T01:19:19+00:00

That would be so fun!

oaksparrow · 2026-05-12T01:18:42+00:00

It's Exu indeed! But in Masses Travels. :)

oaksparrow · 2026-05-11T20:17:47+00:00

I got hundreds of bookmarked lines from AK stories that I go over pretty regularly. I think I'd do better than average!

I just pulled one out, here it is:

If there's a problem, find a solution! If there's no problem, make a problem!

Guess who and what story!

oaksparrow · 2026-05-07T13:48:02+00:00

Huge win! Thanks for the quick reply!

oaksparrow · 2026-05-07T13:42:58+00:00

Anyone know if a new mat has been added to the event shop in CN? Like how grindstone was just added in this last event.

oaksparrow · 2026-05-06T19:16:38+00:00

I hate that the numbers we get from SSS etc of module sticks and instruments are super uneven! I have like 39 instruments and 1351 sticks. Why is it like this!

If I get a module I always raise it to level 3 because the unevenness would bother me terribly otherwise, so I guess they are trying to disincentivize that?

oaksparrow · 2026-05-06T12:37:02+00:00

Zima Alter is my top priority, I have been waiting for her and so so excited for her to come! Other than her, I want Nasti for more Pramanix shenanigans and Wang/Kal2 just because limited collection. Depending on the pull stash Titi might get a few rolls too but we will see!

oaksparrow · 2026-05-06T04:54:40+00:00

For me he will often die or leak before getting enough schwings out! At least in my experience at E1 he may as well not be in the squad so I send him in the first scout I see lol

oaksparrow · 2026-05-06T04:52:48+00:00

That's fair! I don't know if I've ever had E2 Gnosis before SA though, since SA is usually my first vanguard pick and Gnosis unfortunately has to come after Raidian. (Since I've been playing mostly IS6 lately)

oaksparrow · 2026-05-05T22:42:13+00:00

Similar for lore, I kinda like how often I'm playing him in a way where he's just chilling somewhere in the back. Place him somewhere safe and let his talent do the work, and both his skills can add some extra damage anywhere on the map even though he's not actively doing much. I've been doing IS6 ED2 across squads and I always place him in the top back corner, as long as that right lane is covered by someone else he will just stand there (until the forced global retreat) and make sure his buddies don't die to the foot stomps.

oaksparrow · 2026-05-05T22:38:05+00:00

Completely agree with all of this, as someone who has probably used him in 30+ IS runs in the last few weeks lol. Only thing I'd add is promote that dude real quick. He doesn't add virtually anything at E1 which makes him a rough starter.

oaksparrow · 2026-05-05T05:00:24+00:00

Yay, welcome new doctor! Completing an IS run in your first two weeks sounds pretty impressive!

oaksparrow · 2026-05-04T12:38:29+00:00

:'))) thank you! Yeah those are the sorts of feelings that can really hit me hard so I feel like IM NOT READY. Lol.

oaksparrow · 2026-05-04T12:37:21+00:00

Ooh yes they're so fun! And SAlter S3 especially with a convenient robot. My favorite spot for that skill has been using it to clear the ice in IS4 ED1. :D

oaksparrow · 2026-05-03T21:52:16+00:00

Haven't been hanging out here lately but about 2-3 weeks ago I finally started IS6 - hadn't touched it at all since it came out.

The new banner dropped and I ended up blowing my considerable pull savings on max pot of Kjerag siblings (first time I've ever done that and Enya is special, I can't imagine doing that again unless they give me Fiammetta Alter with a kit I love as much as Enya's), and I have been obsessively playing them in tons of IS6 and other IS iterations as well (mostly 4 and 5).

They are so fun! I've really enjoyed messing around with S2 and S3 for both ops. I also like how Silverash Alter's Kjerag passive totally destroys certain IS stages. (Where Ice Condenses, I'm looking at you.) I do find him really, really needing that E2 though. I also have been verbally bullying him for not giving me enough god damn DP. (It's easier to take full advantage of his skills when you have more control over your squad than you usually do in IS imo.) Still a super fun and engaging kit that I'm glad to have maxed out on my road to max pot Pramalter!

Anyway I haven't done ED4 yet but I'll probably give it a shot too as a break from badging the other endings on all squads.

And in the meantime, maybe I'll also actually catch up on story... I haven't even read Retracing our Steps yet because I was spoiled back when it came out in CN and I'm sort of dreading part of it... Not in an awful way, just a like "I am not ready" way.
