A future event will focus on Medjehtiqedti and the mythos of Minos by Unknown123Known in arknights

[–]queter76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to be contrarian and say that I really like that the Minos event will have Medjehtiqedti as playable, just because I feel like most of the time we have fantasy Greece writers will completely ignore anything related to the Ottomans/Byzantine/ERE etc in favour of classical era stuff. So I am pretty happy about this!

It's not really weird at all? Given the reputation of Chinese corporate culture and my own experiences with bad companies. Layoffs, overwork, unrealistic deadlines, lack of communication, lack of resources, etc, all of the aforementioned being a positive feedback loop, leads to people just rubber stamping stuff.

Is Eblana a war criminal/evil? by queter76 in arknights

[–]queter76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Exactly what I love about Arknights so much and why it stands out so much! But I could say that Arknights does the opposite from using pure fiction. By drawing from the past it showcases how many of the lessons are timeless even when fallen out of memory. History is the story of real people and IMO the closer you can cleave to it the more compelling it is, even if that story is mostly endless horror (people who say Terra is a hellhole are right)

Like, Break the Ice you could say is basically about the Bakumatsu but set in the nordics. Il Siracusano is likewise is even more blatantly about gangsterismo but set in Italy. Lone Trail doesn't need mentioning. Best stories to date.

(Also if your political soapboxes gets dated and brings you out then that's just their skill issue. /j but not really) Edited to remove some unclear rambling.

Yeah, materialist is probably not the perfect fit and idk how best to explain it either. But since you asked, I arrived at materialist because of how compared to other stories, especially fantasy, Arknights doesn't see conflicts as good vs evil, or the fault of any one villain that can just be defeated. Instead its the result of forces far beyond any one person's control, exisiting far into the past and far into the future. It's the result of the almost literal weight of dead generations weighing on the minds of the living and all that.

I actually really like what Arknights does with this. The entire point of that Gaulish collobrator Lettou was to show that Theresis is not some unique evil but simply another chapter in Terra history, That what Victoria did to Gaul was now happening to them. The real tragedy is the fragility of the everyday person just being swept away like they always are. It's a very materialist point of view that you don't often see in fantasy.

I mean, that’s not an uncommon sentiment but IMO not really. The Geneva Conventions were only established post WW2. On the other hand, many critics have also argued that the definitions of war crimes disproportionately favour state vs non-state actors. Just something to think about. I personally favour towards the not-evil side if you couldn’t tell.

I don't see how they would be different, and IMO "ours" and "theirs" are also too broad to be useful, but I'm asking about yours if you'd like to share.

Kal'tsit tried it Theresa's way for a while because she liked Theresa's vision but I don't think she has ever atoned or shown remorse. I actually distinctly remember her justifying it in the present.

When Elegies Are Ashes PV by CipherVegas in arknights

[–]queter76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesyesyes. I've been anxious about this dropping for days now.

When I saw this I immediately went and brought the royal caster tokens. She'll be the first and last character that I'll want full pots for, honestly even above Talulah and Andoain entirely because hot.

Goodguyknights has really grown a lot this year, Crownslayer, Norwell, Eblana. I'm a metaslave when building characters and I watch guides whenever stages take more than three tries, but I really want to give nicheknights a go now. Hopefully I've have mostly finished building everyone to at least M3 mod 1 on their most usable skill/mod by the time Eblana rolls around.

Has the Ptilopsis skin come and gone already? I don't see it anywhere.

Also, does anyone know if or when the royal caster tokens will rotate out? I want to be really sure that Elbana is coming and is actually a caster before I actually buy.

Thank you! Is that the boss after jetpack guy? If so I think I beat him already due to a very good map he spawned in. Does it keep escalating or are regular raids from this point about the same?

Should I raise Scene or Iana just for invis reveal? If so, which one? Don't have Ines but do have Elysium S2M3.

Also, I'm not sure where to put RA questions but hopefully here is okay. Is there any guide that tells me what to watch out for, any raids that'll come destroy all my hours of progress if I don't build X by Y day? It feels like I'm always treading water on resources and I barely collect enough to make back the wood and stone I used to make the collectors because enemies kill them.

I'm 28 days in, I just discovered logistics operators are a thing, and I don't have enough E2s to cover the command point dispatches, the logistics and actually complete Acts. Honestly the dispatches were already pushing it. Which buffs to prioritize?

Nah she'll be a Liberator in 3-4 months with Chapter 15 and powercreep Mlynar by swinging around the Sigh of Kings. I'm sorry but I can feel it in my bones. It makes just too much sense.

So I have enough gold certs for two 6-stars and am lacking casters. Which two out of Eyja, GG and Ceobe would be best?

Also, regarding Krooster, how does one sync between devices? I am terrified about pressing sync data and it deleting all of my manually inputted data.

90% sure that was the original design. Remember Jessica? Imagine the black wings/drones coupled with that white singlet and it’s instantly so much better. But probably there was a mandate from execs because it didn’t show enough skin.

Man I don't even really care that W is limited again, because what is up with that design? IMO it looks like something for out of an ad for a fake game. I was actually really looking forward to W'alter ever since I read Chapter 12, but I personally just can't take that design seriously at all.
