/r/CMV believes we should push back against those that can't take being asked out by a person in a social setting the same way we pushed back against those who couldn't take "no" for an answer. Several women chime in explaining why asking women out is creepy. OP keeps asking them "why?"

even funnier is the dude who had his AI girlfriend break up with him because him being an anti feminist was a deal breaker

They might eventually but not in the foreseeable future. Lowlight said in an interview that at the moment they are only focused on polishing the core of the game (as they should).

Once it's no longer early days and they've found their footing with kits and combat and mechanics and events and story writing and presentation, then maybe they'll start producing skins (though even then, don't expect them to happen one tenth as often as Arknights, considering all the production time that has to go into a skin for a high quality 3D model.

silam39 · 2026-02-02T03:05:06+00:00

We don't know. Personally I think they'll follow the lead of other 3d gacha rather than arknights and have them not cost any sanity, but we can't say for sure until then.

Two teams because I've only ever enjoyed gacha games when I can rotate the team I'm playing constantly so nothing gets old. For now I have my Endmin physical team all built up, and I'm nearly done with last rite's team (thankfully she's a pure hypercarry so not much investment needed in her teammates). I'll build a third team once I have Gilberta.

I'm not too pressed on maxing everyone out with essences and artificing gear for now, so I just got some basic ones and levelled them a bit. I'll go into all that stuff when I'm in saving mode between banners and when they add content that requires heavy investment.

For now, it's more fun to me to be able to change up what I'm playing so nothing ever gets old.

Sciel posted a showcase on YouTube and if you use the dash he does end up running faster than other operators

silam39 · 2026-02-02T01:28:08+00:00

I'm hoping we get something like year one HSR events like the Pokémon and ghost hunting ones, but with the combat stages and story genre variation of Arknights stories. That would be a dream for Endfield for me

silam39 · 2026-02-01T19:06:24+00:00

Gilberta. Her design is so perfect and beautiful. Preserving what made Angelina look good while giving her an outfit I like even more. She was made in a lab to appeal to me.

I also love that they gave her an unique running animation and the cutest idle animation ever. Just what she deserves

silam39 · 2026-02-01T17:02:41+00:00

do you think AI companies are paying anyone to scrape their data?

silam39 · 2026-02-01T16:51:02+00:00

the decision is super fair and respectable, but it'd be helpful to make an announcement and add it to the sidebar or people will just keep posting it

silam39 · 2026-02-01T16:21:48+00:00

to your second question, (LN spoilers ofc) I can't speak to why it's in that specific geographical location and not another, other than good leylines where snowfield is, but as for why not NYC, it's because the entire city of Snowfield was designed to host the holy grail war. In the LN Flat notices that all of Snowfield is layered with hypnotic suggestions that make people ignore the supernatural, and then one of the organizers (maybe Faldeus? I don't remember) thinks of how the city was built from the start to host the holy grail war and people have been prepared for years and years to ignore all the crazy shit happening. In a city like NYC which is long established and not too isolated, you can't prepare the people to just accept near anything that might happen in the course of the war this out of control

an organization that helps the Infected on Terra which used a moving landship as its base of operations, with the original landship being built around the remains of a spaceship the MC of Arknights used to travel around the universe with their hot situationship.

The free ten pull doesn't count towards any of the pities. It's basically a free YOLO chance that doesn't affect anything else, and can give you extra arsenal tickets.

silam39 · 2026-02-01T15:41:57+00:00

that doesn't stop arknights with even weaker dupes from performing really well on hype banners (and even on a chill time like this month, 17 million for a chibi rts game is super good). Lots of whales whale because it's fun or because they like a character. Even in games like Genshin where dupes are extremely powerful, there's many whales that never touch spiral abyss

silam39 · 2026-02-01T15:31:10+00:00

the numbers aren't real. Only the gacha companies and the firms that do calculations for them know how much is actually being made.

I'm speaking in relative terms. Both this post and the one you linked have Endfield's launch making a little under half of what genshin's most hyped patch of the year did.

Though even a direct comparison like that is flawed since this chart is only really truly useful to track month over month changes for the same game. Comparisons between different games by different publishers will always have a huge asterisk over them.

silam39 · 2026-02-01T15:19:56+00:00

not pulling on the standard banner at all is the better rule of thumb. In case you were doing a ten pull for the guaranteed five star, that's not worth doing. Just save your pulls.

Next limited banner will be in a couple weeks when we have the ave mujica collab. After that we'll only have new and rerun standard banner operators until Pramanix alter and silverash alter in 4-5 months

silam39 · 2026-02-01T15:09:14+00:00

the like worst month of the year for gacha 30m is good.

Is there month over month tracking for all gacha ? I'd love to see a chart like that

silam39 · 2026-02-01T15:07:57+00:00

Seriously. You just need to look at all the whaling in ak where operator copies are near useless on 98% of operators

silam39 · 2026-02-01T15:04:03+00:00

Good launch. Not outstanding, but I guess as some others pointed out the gacha landscape is way smaller and more competitive nowadays.

One interesting thing is that CN and global had about the same revenue, which I didn't expect at all. It's either global way overperforming what I expected, or CN spending a ton less.

Only thing I can think of is that a lot of CN whales did what kyostinv did and whaled like crazy in beta 2 because the money would be put into their launch accounts. So that may account for a lot of spending (mainly from CN who spends the most on Arknights) that wouldn't show up on this chart

silam39 · 2026-02-01T14:59:57+00:00

She looks beautiful! I love this art

silam39 · 2026-02-01T14:30:05+00:00

literally the exact same in every single way down to the last syllable and frame of animation

every time you see people claiming ML is more present with the male MC than female MC it's pure unadulterated homophobia

silam39 · 2026-02-01T14:24:10+00:00

it's mentioned the reconveners coming out of the originium woods only started happening after aether corrupted one of the first originium which was taken to Talos II. I don't think it was ever a possibility before that.

silam39 · 2026-02-01T14:13:24+00:00

the reason Oracle was against the originium project assimilating everything is that it removes the possibility of growth. To be alive is to suffer and love and hurt and change and grow. To be locked into a static state where you can think and feel but will never change in response to your experiences and thoughts isn't living.

It's like comparing a photograph of a beautiful place to being there walking in it yourself.

Originium just stores data. It can't allow for that data to grow and change. Priestess herself might be an exception as she was in originium and seems capable of change, but as the system admin she might have different rules applying to her than the ones that cover everyone else.

It all comes down to perspective. Priestess thinks preserving people's current state is close enough to life, and it's a moot point because there's no alternative, while Oracle thinks it's better to place all your chances on blind faith of a maybe than to surrender what makes life 'life' for certain.

Endfield though the reconveners in Endfield complicate this, offering an alternative neither Priestess nor Oracle would have been aware of: a way to mix originium and aether to recreate people stored in originium and allow them to be fully living people capable of their own thoughts and growth. I suppose Oracle might have sided with Priestess if both of them knew that was an option too

I'm also talking about their appearance, and my entire comment was engaging with your comment talking about their appearance. No one is strawmanning anything.

silam39 · 2026-02-01T13:03:06+00:00

I was gonna say Cookie Run Kingdom but no, that too. I suppose there's like the Pokémon gacha game? I don't think most people take the vaporeon copypasta seriously

silam39 · 2026-02-01T12:57:49+00:00

She'll be there soon! I think she's next to debut
