3) For an excellent discussion of why it can still be bad to depict fictional underage or child-coded characters as objects of desire even when no children are directly being harmed, see this excellent video. It make sense for this to be the subject of controversy.
This was surprisingly good watch, though my personal views on what does and doesn't count as sexualization of children are different and I disagree what makes it bad, but that's not conversation for this thread. Agree with everything else you wrote in your post though.
I like how she takes Kurumi and Nika's order like normal but then says they're completely out of everything right after. Apparently when she left the kitchen to come over, the cooks told her, "By the way, we only have enough ingredients for one more order of the special, but that's it."
Lol. I didn't even realize how stupid it was, until you pointed it out xD
yeah it confused me too I thought no one will get their order lol
Exactly! I had to go back and re-read it from the beginning, because I was confused why they had food.
It was cute, but... seriously what kind of shitty restaurant they are to run out of all ingredients at the same time XD? You shouldn't even run out of 1, but I'll give them that, but all of them XD?
I dont think my question was wrong tbh- I was only asking what would MOST people really do? And unfortunately in RL i feel as though many- most? would run from her. I dont think i would on thinking about it- but i would for sure feel wierd about it at first at least.
And my issue is that why that kind of question is even necessary? It only reminds me that we life in society that value being "normal" more than anything else. As long as you fit into this vague feeling of "normal" everything is great and you can enjoy your life without problems, but as soon as you don't then suddenly you're "weird" or "different" and everyone is making fun of you or avoiding you or both.
You asked what most people would do, but the real meaning you were getting on was what "normal" people would do. And my answer to that is "why should I care?" It doesn't matter what "normal" people would do. It matters what I or you would do.
I didn't mean to sound harsh, but I'm sick and fed up with people getting triggered about anything that is even slightly related to loli stuff and those questions sounded dangerously similar to the whole moral conundrum so many people love to make their hill to die on. I really feel like I got born in wrong year, hell probably in wrong timeline altogether, because I'm way more understanding over most things than "normal" people are, so all their moral etc. arguments just fly past my head, because I simply approach it with FACTS and LOGIC, something those people clearly aren't capable of doing, since they prefer to base all their believes on their gut feelings and what is common sense to them. I don't give a fuck about tradition or norms, especially if all they're doing is hurting innocent people.
And then also i was wondering on the aspect of - even if you fell in 'love' prior to meeting- to be in a relationship we DO have to be attracted to the other person- and if you wasn't because they look young and innocent, and maybe your type is normally older mature women, then its probably not gonna work out right? and its not because you judged them as though they were a child. But on the other hand maybe such preferences fall away if you already got to know and like them online?
First of all. You can be in relationship with someone without feeling sexual attraction to them. Asexual people exist. Secondly, there is difference between feeling attracted to someone and loving them. You might initially feel attracted to someone, but then once first rush of hormones lowers, you won't feel as strongly about them (well, unless they're just that hot stare). So the same is true in reverse, you can have no attraction to someone initially, but then after you bond with them and fall for them for real, you can start to find them attractive, not because you find them inherently hot, but because it's them, so of course you find them attractive.
A example from my personal life. I had a friend that I wasn't attracted to at all. After I knew her for few years, one day I just suddenly started feeling attraction to her and realized I had fallen in love with her. She was chubby. Before I never found that sexy or anything, but now I thought it was charming. Even after we parted ways I still have a soft spot for chubby people because of it. So yes. I believe that if you truly fallen for someone you might find them attractive regardless and all your experiences will probably affect your taste one way or another. Not sure how it'd work exactly with meeting someone online, before you see them for the first time, but I believe if you already know their personality and you like them, it wouldn't take long for you to fall for their body as well.
And I know the story was litterally about that- but it didnt go into the trouble it would cause in daily life- like being taken seriously at work etc - and i was wondering about it in RL.
Anyway i'll leave it there. I would actually like to see a series of these 2- tho a bit less ero heavy and more about their relationship and daily lives etc.
Yea. It was short porn, so obviously it didn't go too much into that stuff or show it. It could be interesting to write a story exploring that, I'll give you that.
Not to treat this ecchi one shot seriously lol- but imagine if you were tiny and looked like a loli ? Im guessing it would kinda suck in lots of ways trying to be taken seriously, and getting a decent GF might well be a lot harder if people couldnt see past that. I'd feel sorry for her.
That's literally the premise of this story... She was that desperate exactly, because nobody would take her seriously and everyone would run as soon as they saw her.
So I wonder what would I do- or YOU do- or most people- in a slightly more realistic version of this?
You meet and fall in love with a girl online over months playing an mmo together or whatever- then you meet or share pics at last- and she's a tiny cute loli type!She proves she's in her early 20s- so not a real loli and legally all is fine but.. would most people's 'love' just fly away? Or could you adapt and get used to her looks? Obviously if you liked loli you'd be all 'I win at life!' but what if you were not?
Also... Ok seriously people im asking here (pure asking) how can you be turned on when your 'soon to be partner' apperience look like she's at same age as your little sister (eventhough she's not)
I find those question all sorts of wrong, because it sounds like the only reason you would hesitate to outright love her is because of some perceived moralness of the whole thing. Like because liking children is immoral, liking someone who looks like a child would give you similar immoral feeling, hence you're feeling like you're committing a sin or something. Exactly the reason why she had to avoid showing her photos and finding someone on dating app, because all other "normal" people would run away before she could even explain herself. Good thing that being moral leads to hurting innocent people who had audacity to not be born "normal". I thought the whole issue with dating children was that they're not mature enough to give consent and make informed decision, so if she's over 18, what's the problem?
Very good!
But...
I don't really think that the 'lolicon' tag fits here, shes not a minor after all, it is just appearance.Yeah, it's a valid point. I'll leave that question to the original uploaders though.
I feel like the tag was to warn people who don't like loli stuff, even if it technically isn't? Which imo was warranted as we got few people who still expressed dislike of this work despite Older than she looks tag exactly, because she looks like a loli.

You can't make such cute and interesting story to only tell me author is not working on it anymore! That's illegal!
Also shouldn't series be tagged as Dropped or On Hiatus instead of Ongoing then?
That was cute! Disgustingly adorable! Also really liked the whole "her eye-sight was bad" angle story went with. We need more stuff like that!
You should read manga from mangadex instead.
Assuming what you want to read is on mangadex.
This was so adorable! I loved it!
I enjoyed it a lot. I liked how you really could feel they have a lot of chemistry and especially younger sister had few cute moments. And yes, I also got "mochi vibes" from it, though I knew it wasn't drawn by them. Art is simple and nothing special, but to me it was premise and writing that carried this one.
You're free to have your own interpretations and feelings about series etc. (although it's at least a very nice change that you're not denying they're in relationship), but I feel like you overthinking it. I have 2 issues that connect to each other with your post:
I will even go so far as to say that I have no desire to see them have sex, although I would love for the sexual component to be acknowledged eventually. That is essential to me, not as proof of their love, but as a necessary evolution of their dynamic. What I mean by that is even more longwinded so I'll save that for another time, but safe to say I am absolutely certain that they actually never had sex yet and that they can't until they reach that evolution I mentioned.
Why it's necessary though? Is eventually having sex a crucial element of having a relationship with someone? What about asexual people? Are you saying their relationships is stagnant or unable to progress further/deepen without sex? To me it feels like the reason you were hurt by those words is that you have certain expectations and understanding what "dating" someone means and how it should progress, so because to you it seemed like their relationship wasn't progressing, you took it as negative, while that's exactly why Kasumi and Sakurako don't want or can't define their relationship. Because to them it's more complicated, but at the same time, they don't necessary mind it and are fine with it just progressing at its own pace in any direction it'll take them.
Sakurako and Kasumi's issue with labels is very different from the others, because they seem entirely content with their isolated world and never adapt to the outside in the slightest. They have no need for labels, because they are not actually identifying themselves to anyone. They intimately understand each other's feelings and thus do not care enough to work through this. Their happiness is secure, so why change anything? Any outsider will just apply whatever labels they see fit to them and things continue to be smooth.
And I don't find any issue with that? As someone who isn't fan of labels and in fact, while I can understand why they're important to some people and can see their value in some situations, overall I think they do more harm than good. Labels exist, because people dislike things they don't understand and can't easily explain, so we have a biological need to categorize and describe stuff. We need name for everything and want it to be easy to explain. The downside of that is that we tend to oversimplify things and generalize. While being able to name something can be very helpful and give you insight into what it is exactly, once we name things we often stick to values and meanings that we ascribed to said thing and no longer see adding or removing anything from it as a option. That's why labels are so dangerous, they make things simpler, but also sets things in stone. Hence when for example you give Kasumi and Sakurako label of "dating" is also give certain expectations with it, just like in your example of Moka and Koruri. So in that sense I can see why they'd want to avoid labeling their relationship, because while it might have make it clearer or easier to understand for other people, it'd also automatically apply certain perceptions and expectations on them. Ones they might not necessary want to fulfill. Like having sex at some point for example.
What happens in your home, in your relationship is private and I don't see why they should have need to explain themselves to anyone. If they had a need to self-reflect or identify their relationship in some clear terms, then they would do that long ago. I don't see how being content with things as they are and not feeling need to label their relationship in clear terms in any way bad. Especially if said relationship doesn't neatly fit into existing labels and expectations. All they'd be doing is limiting themselves and doing it for other people convenience, not them, so why shouldn't they just let people call it w/e, when they have mutual, unspoken understanding of it that's working just fine so far? It's not like their relationship is necessary defined or reliant on their relation with other people and how they perceive them. So I think you saying they're "limiting" and "isolate" themselves is overthinking it a bit. I really dislike your implication that they have to change based on what people around think. Their relationship is their private matter and nobody owns a explanation or need to know about exact status of their relationship. Not everyone has need to identify and explain themselves to other people.
She has already attained happiness and that's all there is to it. She is certain of Kasumi's love, she knows she loves Kasumi, so that's all there is to it. That's all there is ot it... But it's not. We know it's not, maybe more than Sakurako can.
I know she's fictional character etc. but if she thinks she's happy, who are you to tell her she's not? It again feels like other people trying to define and label her relationship for her and telling her she's doing something wrong, when person in question is perfectly fine with things as they are.
Considering staggering amount of people who don't read rules and/or are unaware of sticky threads, I'm not sure how much it'd really solve the issue.
Definitely feels scuffed compared to just 4 ops.
IKR?
Also is your Hellagur M9? That's awesome if so. Will have to level skill to match yours.
I intended to, since I like all of his skills. I was being gated by mats so at first I focused on mastering his second skill, since it's the best one against single enemy and was using it almost exclusively since then. It's good for the most situations, but when you need sustain dmg and/or enemies spawn more frequently, skill 1 is better and since unlike most people I like those "empowered strike after x hits" skills, I didn't mind mastering it. Third skill looks cool and should be great for when there's 1 huge wave of enemies, but because so far I almost never use it, cos other 2 skills are enough, I'm in no rush to master it, so it's sitting at only first mastery. I'm intending to master it eventually.
Either way, I think you could pull it off with S2, if you won't deploy him on pursuer, but you'll need to watch out for timings and not sure if it won't be too late, cos I really don't know when exactly he uses that anit-surtr attack. I actually could deploy Exusiai when he goes top and she almost kills him (leaves him with barely any health, probably would if she was max lvl), but then he reaches Specter too fast and she kills him, before she can kill the Ursus dude and so he leaks. When he reaches Hellagur, I tried to deploy him facing up, so he'll kill him faster, but he kills him too fast, so Specter and Exu aren't ready for deploy when he goes bot. As easy as this run might seem, there's actually a lot things going there you won't realize, unless you try to change something.
That said, my Exu isn't masteried either so matching the timing will be more difficult.
Yea. I'm not sure it will work when it's not max mastered, since she needs to charge it asap to deal enough dmg.
Again, great job on that 4 op clear.
Thanks!
Maybe after every rerun of an event? I think only the events that have rerun are available?
That's very possible. Still you gain 1 stack of event crystal to use to unlock events every week and it caps at 2, but there are no events to unlock? What's point of adding entire new mechanic, when you have nothing to unlock, and things you're unlocking with it will be added so rarely, you'll always have enough resources to unlock them. At this point they could just add all events. That's why I feel like I'm missing something.

Doing my first 6 operators clear again to record it took way longer than it should to pull it off. I kept messing it up, because it's way too overcomplicated and requires precise timing multiple times, so it's very easy to fuck up on top of being way too long (at least auto never messed it up). As I was trying to record it I already found at least 3 ways you could improve it, while keeping general strategy intact. On the other way my 4 operators clear is so streamlined, it's incredibly easy to replicate and very hard to fuck up. That was kinda the whole point of me trying to improve my auto, cos I was sure I can make it faster and way easier in general.
EDIT/ Also forgot to mention. It's nice that we finally got option to play old events, but not all of them are available and I'm kinda confused about how we're supposed to unlock more.

...WiD is basically just Kal's Bizarre Cosplay Adventure isn't it? Hell she even has a Stand... :v
ROTFL. Brilliant xD
Got Pot 6 Sesa and Pot 1 Passenger just for one copy of Toddifons. Worth it lol.
Yea. RNG loves to be like that ;v Still gj!
E2'd her too. Her eyes turning red is a really nice touch.
Yea. I liked her E2 art.
inhales copium
pat pat
Wow that's cool. Did you make a video too? Would like to try this especially since Hellagur got a badass new skin.
Thanks! Sadly since I wasn't really getting views, didn't want to stress about youtube copyrights, especially since it started to strike my old FGO videos, cos I was using animu music there and in general not feeling as passionate about my videos, since I didn't have a niche and felt a bit like another generic AK wannabe youtuber (I tried to make videos of only stuff I found cool/didn't see anyone else did), I kinda gave up on it and unlisted all my videos some time ago. I actually do have idea what videos I could make, but for that I need to max out a bunch of operators and I'm not exactly swimming in resources so I'm working on it slowly. And sure I could just promote my videos on reddit or w/e but it's not like I want to be youtuber or something. I was just expecting YT to recommend my videos to some people and would be happy if just 100, maybe 1000 people saw it, but of course algorithm is unforgiving, especially to new channels. Either way, I actually liked this run enough that I did consider making a video out of it. I'll see if I want to mess with editing and looking for some game soundtrack etc, but if I won't, I'll record it just to share here.
Yes! Got his skin immediately. It's awesome!
Also fittingly I keep misreading the name of the event as "Walk in the Park" stares
Menwhile I tried to pull for Blaze and only got a Mudrock dupe because what is even happening anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I on the other hand got Hellagur spook on Mudrock banner. Can't really complain, since I use him all the time. Like for my current auto farming.
Toddifons announced. This means next event is Walk in the Dust (on Sept 30). I'm confident Under Tides should follow afterwards.
Didn't get her. Suck, but not rolling more, since I need to save for Skadi Alter.
Got Pot 6 Sesa and Pot 1 Passenger just for one copy of Toddifons. Worth it lol.
Yea. RNG loves to be like that ;v Still gj!
...well that was a lot of new campaign missions cleared holy shit o_O
YES. Leveled a bunch of operators with all the exp.
Also 6* Myrtle has an interesting looking kit and her visual design is 10/10 so I guess that's one more
waifufor the already lengthy "future savings" list... >_>
Yea. I really like her too.
So beat all the stages and have to say, what the fuck? Everyone was talking how insanely hard boss of this event is, so I was prepared for hell, but he was incredibly easy. Beat him just after few tries and setup auto with only 6 operators. Today I played some more since my strategy revolved around stalling him with Cuora, which meant that each run was taking quite some time, since I was waiting for last casters to come to me before I even started killing him. Also I wasn't entirely happy with how I was killing his second phase, cos I felt like the way I did it was really messy and I could kill him faster. After many attempts, I managed to make a reliable auto with only 4 operators and didn't even use any usual broken ones like Mountain, Blaze, Surtr, Thorns or SilverAsh. Used Hellagur, Specter, Exusiai and Eyja (with skill 2). Very fittingly Hellagur is the one to finish him off.
On the other hand, today got elusive senior tag. Didn't really have that much options, so got guarantee next to last copy of Red.

So, I only cleared H8-1 back when it released. Tried to beat H8-2, but couldn't figure it out. Wanted to give it another go later and it was waiting like that since then. Recently I finally gave it another shot and actually manage to beat it after dozen or so tries. For H8-3 I had to go back to M8-8 and actually defeat Mephisto properly, since I only let him pass and never cleared stage with 3 stars. Turns out it wasn't that hard. So with knowledge how to beat him, I got back. Took me dozen of tries, but manage to figure out right setup and it wasn't that hard. Quickly checked out H8-4 after it. Didn't have any good ideas how to beat it immediately, so after few tries I put it for later again.
And now I finally went back to it and after trying several times, it's actually quite easy. I have reliable setup to kill mobs and first phase of Talulah. In fact I'm surprised how much of pushover she is. I didn't remember Deathless Black Snake to be so easy. The hardest part is protecting the damn civilians. They really expect you to not only have setup for all the mobs and sputniks, but also for Talulah herself and then immediately after defeating her, have setup to tank 40k worth of arts dmg. I want to kill those civilians myself >.> I still didn't figure it out, so far only 1 line is safe thanks to Specter and I'm starting to feel like going easy way, just to be done with this bs, and borrow someone's Nightingale.
On another note, yesterday I finally got another Top OP tag. About time, since last one was quite long ago. I didn't really have any good choices, since I could only go for guarantee Ifrit or Saria/Shining/Nightingale. Current pot for Ifrit didn't give her anything good, so it didn't feel worth it. Same for Saria/Shining and at this point I was in no rush to get Nightingale. I decided to go Top + DPS to lower pool a little and maybe luck out and roll Schwarz. Which I did... so I'm really happy with that x3

Finally did new anni. It was surprisingly easy. The hardest part was making sure civilians won't die, but after 3 attempts or so I have pretty reliable setup so this time I shouldn't have so much issues with auto running it like with previous annis.
My headcanon is the whole thing is something Sora came up with when bored and nobody can convince me otherwise :v
Sounds reasonable xP
Depending on when this was, it was either when I put my Blaze on support so she shows up for my sister who was having difficulty with the OD-EX stages and having Blaze made it easier. Or it was that time after where a friend asked for Dusk with skill 2. Same reasoning: so that my support shows up.
I think I actually saw both, but I definitely remember Dusk. I see, so that's what it was about. Thanks!
Sora being mad jelly she doesn't get a skin lol.
To be fair, Sora is idol by default and she did get summer skin.
Also the new 6 star looks like Jeanne... Jeanne D'Arknights.
Hahahah xD Good one x3

Should probably try and see how well Mudrock can facetank that assorted wakey-wakey Sarkaz nastiness but I'm a little concerned over her relative susceptibility to Arts...
She did a great job during CC with pretty high risks, so I'm pretty sure she should be able to tank them easily in normal stage. Her shield refreshes every other shot and she has 30% resist against Sarkaz enemies, so she actually can take a lot of hits before going down.
And yeah those upcoming idol skins are pretty neat. Am I the only one who thinks Pine looks comically awks and uncomfortable in hers...? :P
Yes xD I love how she is only able to force herself to smile for a brief moment and it looks totally forced x3
That said, it did seem rate up was working for you seeing that you did get multiple copies of the rate up characters. Saga dupes are definitely welcome I think.
True. So far when I was rolling a lot, I was pretty lucky. Got few spooks on Rosmontis banner but also got like 9 6 stars, while on Dusk banner outside of that Ceobe, I only got rate up 6 stars, so can't really complain about it. Nian was really just a very specific one where she's not technically rate up, but also not a spook.
Still, congrats anyway. Ash dupes feel useful for me since it makes her initial deployment much cheaper.
Yea. I am really happy with it.
I was actually using the Saga + Warfarin strat. I dunno if it was due to my Saga not being max pot or max level (only level 60) but I couldn't replicate this video.
Yea. Was thinking of checking it after I beat stage myself, to see how it was done exactly. I'd put my guess on you not having max lvl, since it seems like Saga needs a very specific amount of dmg to pull it off.
That's both hilarious and adorable xD
So few things I forgot. First, what was up with you suddenly only having 1 support set up? At least I'm pretty sure it was you. Also because I was waiting for second free 10 roll to see what I'll get and see if I'll roll for guarantee Ashe, I was waiting with rolling on Blemishine/Mostima banner and end up forgetting to do so (it was fine, since I do have everyone from that banner). I did roll 10 roll on Eyja banner before rolling more on Ashe's and I got Eyja. Finally getting Schwarz would be cool, but can't complain since I use her all the time. In fact since I had a lot of yellow certs and next copy upgraded her second talent, which is really strong, I bought another copy from shop. It makes her into even better helidrop so no regrets. And lastly, I noticed it already when I rolled for Rosmontis, but forgot to mention. Since I had a lot of green certs, I figured maybe for a change I'll get to third phase and get some more orundum, but then realized since they added that 3 and 4 star vouchers, you're actually forced to buy them to go to last phase now, which is really shitty, especially for whales that will have all 3/4 stars at this point and want those vouchers the least, when they're the only ones who will have enough green certs to actually reach phase 3 regularly.
Also past few days I had some insane tag luck. I got 2 fast redeployment, specialist and support the same day, which do happen sometimes (few guarantee at least 4 stars in a row), but then I also got Liskarm from single defender tag as well as nuker and got another nuker following day.
It's nice that game remembers all your autos. I just run all of them once to get mission rewards and then focused on farming DM-7. For some reason my autos for DM-6 and 7 no longer worked, so I had to clear DM-6 manually and redo it for 7 to farm. I'm actually looking forward to beating EX stages again since last time I was playing I still had most operators at E1, so I want to see how hard stages will be for me now. Especially with MO, I now E2'ed everyone I used there and I want to see now how easily Hellagur will be cutting up all those Grudgebearers. Also I really like that we pretty much get free yellow certs from bonus Sideroca tokens (assuming you played event the first time and got her).
Speaking of the map we just got, I am glad it's way easier than the one before. My auto is way more reliable this time and Ash shines in this map against the UFOs.
Wanted to do anni before rerun, but had no time/energy to play it, so didn't touch it yet. I find most enemies from Ursus a pain to deal with, so I'm not really looking forward to beating it. Double so since so far I wasn't able to make 1 stable auto for new annis. Like I can beat them and usually there are no leaks, but often 1 enemy passes by or auto breaks at the very end, so usually I need to keep a eye on it and can't just let it play in background and wasn't able to fix any of them despite my numerous attempts.
New skin for Pinecone looks insanely adorable! New support archetype seems quite interesting and operator is cute too. New medic as well. I like that they're still trying to add new archetypes and make gameplay more diverse.
I'll just say I quite liked the way the devs used the OD event (and R6 bios) as an opportunity to discuss the oft-hinted-elsewhere differences in the technological paradigm etc. in a narratively organic fashion that doesn't come across as a pure infodump.
Yea. It is pretty clever and interesting, while also being a natural way to do it.

Finally got around to writing here, but not like much was happening anyway.
Finally finished the event as well. Pretty fun - the stages were fairly easy, but the music was a definite highlight for me
Yea. Music was really great.
So rolled all way till 300 rolls. Got 2 more hungry doggos and in last 10 roll got another Dusk. Ngl, I really wished it'd be Nian, cos then I could buy second copy of her from shop cos especially for defender that 1 DP cost matter, but och well. Didn't really get any other 5 stars outside of several few more Nothings (I think, it was a while, so I might had 1-2 more spooks, but don't remember).
Finally cleared EX stages and challenge modes. Really had to pay attention to event gimmicks especially EX-6. I wasn't understanding why roadblock placement was causing me to not block the enemies. I initially just wanted to set up an Ifrit lane. Only after watching a guide did I realize that roadblocks would make the enemies go through different color changing tiles. The roadblock placement had to be specific. EX-8 with the boss, "Free", wasn't as hard to figure out. I like that assuming they both have the same color, Cuora with shield can tank Free's shield burst. Still cheesed it with Surtr for the medal but for the challenge, I brought out THICC snek to 1v1 the boss. I just love seeing Eunectes in action.
While gimmick was important, it wasn't that hard to figure out, at least for me. EX-6 gives me PTSD. It was such a pain to figure out how to place blocks for them to change color properly. I barely managed to do normal version, but thanks to bonus blocks in CM, I couldn't repeat my strat, so I decided to fuck it and it was only stage I used guide for. I wasn't happy I had to, but I value my sanity more. Turns out this stage is BS and the hard part is figuring out the pattern of blocks and once you do, it's easy af, because they'll change color exactly so you can block them and then suddenly this stage has no challenge whatsoever. 10/10 design. Made only to annoy us. Beat other stages without much problem. Really liked the way I beat EX-8. Easily did it without breaking shield, though I wasn't going out of my way to do it.
I initially just wanted to set up an Ifrit lane.
Relatable eyes
Yay got Ash without having to use up all 120 rolls.
GJ!
RNG absolutely hated me. With my first free 10 roll I got Clifheart. Then with my second free roll I got freaking Skadi spook. Wasn't going to roll, but then after thinking about it I thought Ashe was pretty cool and at this point I kinda want to collect all operators, so I decided to throw some more rolls. Third 10 roll was Sesa. Forth was Saria spook. Fifth was Astesia. Sixth was FEater. Seventh was no 5 star and finally with Eight I got Ashe... When I rolled 300 rolls for Rosmontis and Dusk, I got rate up 5 star almost all the time, when I'd really wish I got spook by other 5 stars I don't have yet/don't have maxed out, meanwhile in 1 banner that I really wished to just get 1 copy and be done with, I keep getting spooked. Ninth was Asbestos, which nice, cos I don't have her yet, but also c'mon >.> Tenth was another Astesia <,< (and at this point I already have her max pot). Eleven was another Ashe and finally blitz. At this point I was rolling tickets/single rolls, so my count got a bit unclear, but I think either around twelve or thirteen 10 roll I finally got Frost and stopped. All in all I'm pretty happy with those rolls, but it was such pain to go through.
OD-8 is PAIN. I can't believe I have to reliably auto farm this for grindstone. Not excited for the EX-stages at all.
Idk. I beat all stages relatively easily. Had to spend few hours to figure out how to beat OD-8, but once I did, I had really reliable auto that just needed few tweaking. Farmed 100 grindstones from it easily (I also farmed 100 manganese ore). The Dead Space/Resident Evil vibe was pretty fresh and interesting. Beat all the challenge stages without too much of a problem too. Only one that was actually really hard, but I also appreciated the challenge, because it was a while since I really felt like anything was truly hard, was OD-EX-8. I really don't know what I'd do without Rosmontis there. Once I beat normal version, I was really worried about challenge mode condition, but lucky for me I didn't use any tile that was banned, so I thought I'll beat it relatively easy. Jokes on me, cos it took me few hours, cos apparently with my strat/levels there was a bit of rng and/or I had to execute everything perfectly. Actually my second and third run were really close. In second I defeated everything except for Glorious Evolution and then lost to its spam, before it died and in last it died and I almost won, but 1 fucking tumor split manage to slip by. After that for some reason my next dozen or so runs couldn't even reach finishing line and I'd die during third phase or sometimes even before I reached it, hence why I felt like there was some rng at play. But alas managed to beat it in the end.
I really liked cooperative mode. People kept talking how it'll be troll fest and unless you have irl friends, beating it with randoms will be impossible, but that was far from true. I cleared everything alone and even when I kept failing and was being matched with the same person few times in a row, they'd never dodge me. I think someone left in middle only few times and most of times it was because they got completely destroyed. Only few of those were when it was going fine, but maybe they just got disconnected. Either way, I definitely didn't find 1 person that was actively trolling. Beat all stages at CM, top and bot and even went out of my way to beat all of them without any leaks. I played all top stages until I manage kill everything without letting any enemy go down.
Also something I literally noticed just now is that when you add all 4 Rainbow 6 operators to control center instead of working they'll rest, which is kinda BS. I asked support and apparently that's not bug, but working as intended, despite it not being written anywhere. Kinda defeats the point of having team with base skills that specifically are supposed to increase effectiveness when you have more members to stop working when you add all of them together. I have no idea who thought that turning CC into dormitory just when you add those 4 specific operators was good idea (and yes, any fifth operator you will add, will be resting as well).
I see the best romance ever was finally uploaded here <3
That looks really good.
Nice! I like the art.
New AoE Enmity Guard looks great and I like her design. Good thing I'll roll for Summer Ch'en, so I should easily max pot her.

So. Regretfully I decided to come back, but I'm not taking FGO seriously at all. Will probably try to max NP my favorites, since I barely care about any new servants.
