Finally got off my lazy ass and cleared Lava Had Never Seen Such Bullshit: The Event. Good stuff. I think my favourite bits were Kroos being openly amused by Nothing's BS, Saga managing to out-weird Dusk and Dusk roasting Nian's outfit. Also liked how you can just hear the smirk in Nian's lines even without voice acting. :P

5* KOKODAYO Alter when tho, Hypergryph?

In terms of Mora, we have no Mora pulls I'm now at 93. Highlights so far are Dusk, pot 4 Nothing, a random Mostima dupe (why.), April (yay, didn't have her before) and dupes for Beanstalk and Pinecone. No hungry doges yet tho.

Also pulled a Meteorite dupe from tagless Recruitment the other day which was pretty "huh." Already had her at max pot anyway but thanks for the Distinctions I suppose?

Can't say I much like Beach Ch'en's art but the other Ops in that event seem interesting. Plus unlike most Mudrock's swimsuit actually seems worth the OP.

'S p great. Anyway the game's rather F2P friendly so you're good there.

^rather depends on how you define "pay to win" but already given the total absence of PvP, not really.

Although if you're fall down drunk you're not actually this lucid, but hey, it's fiction

TBH I would not be surprised at all if she was faking much of her inebriation, likely as a gambit to appeal to her current beau's evident chivalrous streak. We're talking about quite the accomplished man-eater here after all - and she certainly seems like she'd rather enjoy getting fussed over by a concerned handsome lad...

^The characterisation makes perfect sense if you look at what little available lore there is of the Twins' background though - which basically pegs them as billions of years old Time Abysses ("seen the birth and death of stars" as it were) who have some issues recalling specific details about their past encounters.

In that context the one constant in their existences is each other and their apparently endless journey, so it's only natural that the sibling takes absolute precedence over anything in what is at the end of the day but another transient short stop. Probably also noteworthy here that while the Traveler clearly has nothing against socialising with the natives, quite the contrary, there's also a distinct undertone of staying aloof from any closer commitments.
After all, if you're inevitably going to move on - and eventually forget most about them anyway - it's an act of kindness to minimise the number of people distraught over your departure.

Basically you're saying "people making something for fun that's not meant to be taken seriously, and is a sexual thing, is stupid". All because it sounds like you dislike it. So personally I think you're being a massive prude here :P

Edit: On the note of making content with sexual elements in general and not just mythic figures, I guess we can say an amazingly talented creator and writer like Yoko Taro who is 51 is a "sexually frustrated teenager" because of things like 2B's widely appreciated ass. Especially when he was asked about his thoughts on all the porn of her, and he said to put it in a folder and send it to him. I'm obviously being sarcastic about calling him anything like that because it's an absurd notion to me. People can enjoy sexuality and making sexual content, while being interesting and talented, and not being sexually frustrated or a teenager (not even as a "mental state").

Yeah, that's not even remotely what I said.

Overrated if you have to clean your own toilet. It splashes more, so you'll have to clean more often. I'd rather take the 2s to pull down my pants.

Public restrooms tho. I've heard of cases so unspeakable guys didn't want to enter them - and then you have the hole-in-the-floor variety common in eg. Asia so yeah...

On the other hand outside it's a good gimmick.

Area Man, drunk off his ass on a Friday evening, agrees!

I don't think you even need to say "sexually frustrated teenagers". As soon as puberty hits and until a person dies, even into their 90s sometimes, people are just horny want to fuck everything that moves lmao

Plus aside from adults making and enjoying said content, I don't think a person even has to be sexually frustrated to just enjoy sexual media, express, and explore their sexuality. Sure prudish thinking would disagree with this notion, but that's their problem in my opinion :P

I consider it a mental state. Basic symptoms in this context are
1. pick mythic figure of choice
2. hurr Exotic Girlfriend durr
3. write it like the most stereotypical highschool gal for no reason
4. ???
5. profit, because the audience eats that shit up

Im pretty sure the tempting Demon was populariced in France (given that was more about whispers)

Medieval Jewish mysticism actually (the foundational work Zohar was first published in Spain in the 1200s), though somewhat similar figures turn up in various other mythologies, and it goes without saying that the usual animanga take on angels has... preciously little to do with the actual texts.

joined Jul 26, 2016

Isn't that normal? A demonette's job is to tempt men and lead them astray, so they gotta have the curves. Angels just are supposed to preach virtue, and for that you don't need to look sexy.

In anime, maybe. Actual Abrahamic myth is a tad more creative and sophisticated, but then it wasn't written by and for sexually frustrated teenagers. Also trigger SAN checks. (Seriously tho the Ophanim are just weird.)

haven't looked into the stages yet so iunno if they drop anything helpful.

Apparently nothing worth farming. Even the RMA node is only slightly better than 4-9.

Oh so basically get the first-clear rewards and forget about 'em.

Meanwhile for me, 34 rolls for Archetto which is nice but I actually wanted Iris so OF COURSE I wasn't getting her easily. 40 more rolls, TWO off banner 6 stars and finally one copy of Iris out of the six 5 stars I got.

10/10 suffering from success would get everything but the actual goal again -IGN

Archetto's E2 mats make me want to cry.

TBF all 6* E2 mats tend to leave me in despair ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

At least you get one of the Polymer Preps from the event shop... haven't looked into the stages yet so iunno if they drop anything helpful.

I was slacking off again and only managed to get Robin to max pot. :(

#relatable other that I managed to put in enough :effort: to clean out the headhunting tickets too. Almost managed to clear the last EX stage before reset actually, but fucked up at a key point and didn't have enough time left to retry. O well, it's just some mats anyway. (~o ̄3 ̄)~

Meanwhile ~40 pulls (RIP all reserves, again) from the new banner netted me Archetto, Iris and P3 Beanstalk; weird archetype squad GET, feels good man. (Also some Pinecone and Fla-imean, Platinum dupes, why even but I'm not complaining.)

F in the chat for Fuuka, who will inevitably become a stepping stone that exists solely for Asahi to get her shit together and figure out that she wants to be with Hinako.

For some reason, I have a feeling that Fuuka will end up with Subaru.

Heh, same.
