So basically Noa being sassy as usual but it's lost in translation

"Endministrator" is C R I N G E tho, like what the actual fuck devs -.-

Odd why are you all not talking about endfield?
Cg trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo0deb64GNw
Alpha gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h85NtIwduY

Because one cryptic trailer and a very limited amount of early-alpha footage doesn't give much to talk about? Wild Epileptic Trees fanwanking is already rampant in the Usual Suspects anyway, and that's basically the end-all be-all of the discussion possible with the present material.

Is it normal to read chapter after chapter and nothing happens?

It's the true Citrus experience, yes.

"I wear many hats ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
- Muku, probably

Trailer for the There Will Be Blood sequel is looking good

^direct copypasta: "Hmm, now that you mention it, it's been a while since I last saw Ganyu. Before the Sakoku Decree came into effect, the two of us would often meet to discuss bilateral relations between our two nations. I always found her quite reliable. The next time you go to Liyue, take her some more fresh Sea Ganoderma for me."

...beats me where Ganyu finds the hours in a day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

B-but he has a milkshake animation...

"I hate milkshake. >:("

The funny thing is, we know Komichi will love her playing no matter what, because she's just that ridiculously nice of a person. I can't even picture her being mean in any way.

She might be disappointed and that's pretty much exactly what Hebimori is picturing. Rational analysis has little relevance for self-esteem issues anyway, and it really doesn't help Hebi knows painfully well she's in this quandry solely and entirely due to her own dishonest pretensions.

Naisu.

Banners seem to be these
First double banner Ayato/Venti
Second banner Ayaka (alone)

So that's a pass for me. Already gotten spooked by Aya and Drunk Bard while Ayato's design puts my teeth on edge - dude looks like a reject from some "loosely inspired by bakumatsu" otoge. (Also stoned out of his gourd in the portrait shot, wth art director...)

"Like I care if I suck!"

Welp, Hebimori is already a qualified punk rocker :v

3.i don't understand the last page? Ehy are they crying? 'Cause Beidou left 'em?

"Thank God you're finally back, the substitute was awful"

^do you also call unicycles "bicycles" because they're variations of the same principle?

Separate names to distinguish between such exist for a reason.

...I'm not the only one getting the vibe that Mandragora and Harmonie equal parts want to murder each other and have sweaty monkey sex, am I? >_>

(also lmao @ Outcast casually cranking up her "silver fox" charmer energy on Jeanne d'Hydra)

For a second I was like "wait have I somehow not read a whole bunch of chapters" and then I realised it was just one of those batch uploads.

Also, [gay intensifies] on multiple fronts ( ͡¬ ͜ʖ ͡¬)

maybe I'm too far gone? TwT

Signs point to yes. :|

what the fuck did I just read ò_Ô

^isn't that technically a sidetail tho? Given it only seems to be on one side. (The Artist Formerly Known As Suffering conversely does have proper twins.)

I just hope the Pyro Archon has the tall female model and is hot (and gay but that goes for everyone). But it will take so long for her to be shown or released. T___T

Well one thing we do know about her is she goes by "Murata" - a reference that unabashedly tracks with Honkai's OG Big Tiddy Oneesan... Given how close match Raiden is to her iteration in that worldline it'd be quite the curveball from the devs if she bucked the trend. (Entirely for lels - and due to the Russia & ice themes - I like to theorise the Tsaritsa is this worldline's incarnation of Bronya...)

Lo/ Submerged Valley, I remember suffering A LOT with that dungeon, when I was relying pretty much on Amber, the traveler and Mona as my main dps, forced to do lower lvls of the dungeon because by the time the mages shows up I had like 2 minutes of cooldown hahaha and the faking bubbles bruh...and then there's the ice dungeon that gives you books, fuck Mondstad

The devs seem to have arrived at similar conclusions, probably after much acerbic player feedback, as the newer Domains by and large have altogether less bullshit LL Disorders. But like seriously who the Hell got - and more importantly approved - the idea of near crippling the key selling point of the game's combat system in the first place sheesh...

Also a ninja called Shinobu is mentioned in a couple of places in Inazuma, should come out soon too (4 stars probably)

Ya, Kuki. The sister of one of the mikos over at Grand Narukami too according to Yae. (Plus the Only Sane Woman in Itto's gang of certified morons...) I'll be legitimately amazed if she doesn't get turned into a playable sooner or later. Anyone's guess when tho given how long Yunjin languished in Developement Hell...

On an entirely unrelated note good God I detest farming Submerged Valley, it's just so goddamn needlessly tedious
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Like seriously who thought it a good idea to put a dungeon specifically configured to cockblock your ES in a game whose combat system (and not a few character kits) just about revolves around those ffs -.-

You would be surprised with how much bacteries a hand can and has...

I mean there's pretty much a whole ecosystem in your mouth so, like, yeah. The thing with hands is they're our primary tool for interacting with the environment and duly quickly pick up a patina of all kinds of crap you generally don't want to get in somewhere sensitive which is why it was Kind Of A Big Deal once people worked out the importance of washing the appendages in question.

Especially before, say, conducting surgery or somesuch. Medical complication rates really went down after that one was figured out...

Oh yeah and there is the oripathy thing, but thats just a detail,

As the afterword explicitly notes that's something the author unapologetically pulled out of their ass - the thing isn't a damn STD. Actual canonical vectors seem to mostly involve inhaling Originium particles - and indeed this seems to be its "natural" spread method of choice given what happens with the corpses of people who die of it - and having pieces of the mineral directly inserted into the body.

The bartender timed challenge isn't too bad since the timer pauses when the recipe menu is open.

TBF it'd be bullshit and a half otherwise.

Personally I can't quite get over how vaguely absurd the obvious need to comply with weirdly stringent AZN laws on depicting alcohol in media make the whole thing - all the more so given the in-universe context, which is a city famous for its booze where there's a literal child working full-time as an actual bartender (as opposed to glorified barista like we do in this event).

But here we are serving literal juice and milk.

Arknights lore in a nutshell.

^^I'd rather they give the whole AoE Caster archetype a proper balance pass instead; Mosti is one of the best of the lot as is thanks to her support and CC features. "Here's a new broken Alter lul" would just smack of cash-grabby evading of the real issue.

The fuck are the police doing knocking like that god fuck off

I think that was the stalker knocking like that and the police were nearby and grabbed him.

Rereading it now, it looks like that's what it might be

I literally cannot fathom the logic behind a reading that assumes it to be anything else. Like I know the Japanese police have their share of issues but come on...
