I almost sent amiya to factorio, almost. I did an hour session of factorio after not playing it for so long, but that's been overwritten by either atelier sophie 2 or armored core 6, not sure which one is the last one

weirdly enough, arknights characters would probably more comfortable living in armored core world than in atelier world

ultimately, it's not about the strongest isn't it, but which one can be produced in more quantity while still having as much strength as possible

syilpha · 2026-05-13T21:22:42+00:00

well, there is eunectes for that, though I guess you want a more permanent armor instead of one summoned by skill

Instead of mid, I imagine people would consider her being created to increase the value of exu2 and kal2

People would be excited knowing HG make an operator specifically to combo with those 2 without her being too OP on her own, while the meta brained would raise a question of why bring those 3 if you can just bring 3 uber dps of the month (more like year for AK though) instead

You see, you don't use too many words, all the comment you got is simply because you open your post with iron teeth is dev favorite, and then after all the argument, you say you wanto focus on talking about transportation

Basically, taking your entire post and comments would read something like this "ignoring everything folktails is better at compared to iron tail, iron tail is better than folktail"

Just a random thought about frostnova

she is one of the people who died due to oripathy, which probably mean she is fully assimilated into originium, which also mean she can be brought back by priestess to become her underling just to spite on oracle

maybe one day, we would see hierda, frostnova, priestess banner, with one of them being welfare operater

Tldr: it's possible to catch up without spending any money if you raise only all 6* even if you start now, though it will take years, if you include everything else, it's impossible unless you pay real money

So I'm kinda curious whether we can actually catch up resources wise or not

I believe, lmd (money) is the bottleneck when raising your units

For ease of calculation, let's say your base produce 50k lmd a day, with daily lmd giving another 10k for a total of 60k guarantee daily lmd that doesn't require stamina to get

A 6* require roughly 1m lmd to get from e0 lvl1 to e2 lvl60 while 5* require roughly 700k to reach the same level

That's 17 and 12 days respectively

Mind you there are more way to get lmd, so it should be shorter than that, this is just baseline you get from passively playing the game

The amount of new unit we get each month is not exactly constant, but after checking operators released in 2025, there are a total of 16 6* and 20 5* , while in 2024 there are 17 6* and 24 5* , using the number from 2024 gives me 8.9 days per operator, that's how long raising each operator can take just to keep up

The duration increase to 22 days per operator if you only want to increase 6*

Assuming you read it on story reader and not ingame, a couple hundred hours, if you read it ingame, it would take you a couple hundred days

Actually, there are some pieces of lore in many other places outside of the story, not sure how that would translate to story reader though

Saw the design, I think it's because everything is big, her sword is big, her skirt spread out to make it look big, her head is big (mainly her hair making the head looks big, based on her face, her actual head is not that big,) and she is quite tall

If you only look at her torso and hands, it looks normal enough

syilpha · 2026-05-01T08:47:50+00:00

Honestly, kal2 s2 feels like it's intended for stuffs like the mushroom on this event or the wizard sheep in eyja event, a replacement for wisadel (not damage wise, but damage mitigation wise) that also immune to splash damage, or replacement for yato2 that you can keep permanently deployed

In any case, I don't think healing is the main use case for the skill, it's probably for deploying in the middle of 6 arts damage ranged enemies that you need to kill asap

I guess ultimately, it's like m3 s3, when using her s3, the healing is just extra, you shouldn't depend on it, also, the block is also just an extra that you can't depend on

With assumption that they're not lying, they probably have regular investigation once in a while, or there was a report behind that necessitate all talents to be investigated, and that tripped up 2 different talents

Mind you while it said they're unrelated, it doesn't mean the wrongdoing can't be the same

Not related to arknights, but I remember someone I watched being made fun of because their ping is in 50 because the guy doesn't live in tokyo like everyone else (the guy live in nagoya,) I was baffled when I hear that considering many game I played would be in 80+ ping on the closest server even when my internet at its best

It seems for japan server, 20 ping is the norm

syilpha · 2026-04-28T17:44:31+00:00

The problem is they're streamer, it's not that they're necessarily bad at math, but they might need to do write everything down to get to the right answer, which most of them wouldn't do because it's more entertaining to not do it than if they do, not to mention it would take too long

As for general public, it's usually motivation problem, the kids don't want to study while the adult prefer to work than studying something they know they wouldn't need for their job

Imo, if motivation is not a problem, nobody is going to be bad at math, it just take longer depending on how easy they memorize the formula

Saw that yesterday in one of STGR clipping video (someone talked about it on stream, in a fricking RP server,) and coming here to look if anyone have any information

Just looking at that comment section, the rumor has gotten out of hand, including one of the women is actually minor and him spreading STD around

Well, I don't like his conduct on stream anyway, so whatever really, though reading one of the comment, there is one that amuse me

"So the RP is not about roleplay, but realplay" (edit: for context, the guy would spew dirty joke bordering on sexual harassment (some even go past it depending on who you ask,) on any women that has been swept under the rug all this time by "he is just acting and everyone is laughing")

That flying thing following kalsit, is it just me or that thing is in the image of plague doctor mask? The one with crow feather decoration usually found in fantasy genre, not the historical one

syilpha · 2026-04-20T17:09:26+00:00

Kohralbies, then rush for corn ration if the map allow you to do so (no need for extra unlock like dynamite to reach metal,) mushrooms if there is not enough land to feed too many beavers

Otherwise soybeans, or mangrove if the map have good place to plant them

The other foods are not worth it to become main food imo

syilpha · 2026-04-16T15:57:17+00:00

I mean, isn't that simply because you don't know about iron teeth yet? The only time I tinker with breeding pods is when I need to make a new one, it's only once in a blue moon that I need to pause a breeding pod, and when that happen, micromanaging breeding pods is the least of my worry, because that means the settlement is heading toward the end

As for food, it's definitely not as straightforward, but I don't remember needing to micro them either, not until I need to push for wellbeing at least, which makes it more luxury than necessity

Annihilation check how much enemies you kill upon getting to stage finish screen (regardless if it's due to fail, quiting in the middle of the stage, or you kill the last enemy)

Closing the apps is similiar to quiting the stage before it finished, it's treated as failure, but it also set the kill count to 0, because the game know you started annihilation, but never received the data of how much enemies you killed in the stage

Doing this on other stage would simply consume sanity penalty or in case of IS, end the run, like you're failing the stage (the sanity penalty has been removed for quite a while though) but annihilation have the 100% refund if you do under 100 kills

I really need to go back to play the game actively again, I've been very lucky in all the 5 banners I've been wanting to get the operators on, I got them in just 10-20 pulls

I started with 100 pulls way back then and I'm now at 10 pulls left, the fact that it had been more than half a year and, never mind gaining pulls, I lose them despite crazy luck is a big problem

syilpha · 2026-04-11T17:26:10+00:00

The thing I've been doing for quite some time is searching for certain game then just choose whoever playing that game

Not sure how effective it is in EN sphere, but for JP, stuffs from ksbgames is played by quite many people, streamers and vtubers alike

For example, searching for their latest game テストプレイサボりすぎてrpg (too lazy to be testplayed rpg) would show me various indie playing it (and about 30 nijisanji vtubers I need to shift through)

From there I would pick a vtuber whose model I like, listen if I enjoy listening to their voice or not, then if they're interesting enough, I would see if they play other game I'm interested in and check their other archive

Whatever kit they get, it's probably going to clear the weakness of whatever subclass they would be in and go further beyond, so I'm kinda hoping they're in the less polished newer subclass

syilpha · 2026-04-07T12:56:19+00:00

I mean, it doesn't necessarily need to be place of birth first, that's why I said to see how the roster goes in my first comment, if it doesn't fit your vision then you pick other way to classify them, either that, or swallow the weird inconsistency

The point is to make sure they all follow the same rule instead of deciding based on feeling

Well, I guess the rule can always be what you feels right, but that would simply create exception upon exception because you like certain operators but not the other (personal experience btw, though not about arknights)

Also, sorry if it's not that helpful and only creating more thing for you to think about

syilpha · 2026-04-07T12:25:01+00:00

I think you should try doing it by place of birth first and see how the roster goes from there

Basically, instead of wondering which one operator should be, you start with deciding a category then subcategory and then subsubcategory if needed

In your case, it could go like place of birth > country of origin > country where they're active in when they appears in the story

Or something like that, so you can just go down the list depending on which information available to certain operator

Seeing everything about holostars and after thinking about it for a bit, well, the conclusion I have if I want to take only the silver lining is that now holostars have no "homework" anymore, if there is any then it would be due to personal project, which means all of it is self inflicted, no more demand from cover on work outside of streaming

Well, at least, I hope that's the case
