you should commit suicide faggot

Never seen Ami have such reaction. Usually she is the one causing that reaction to others...

Come to think of it, I send a lot of emails at work, but it's not really set up to send multiple emails at the same time.

Context: Blue Archive used to have a 200-pull spark system, but it is now changed to a Hoyo-style 50/50 pity system.

100 pulls now gives you a 50% chance to get the featured 3-star character. If you lose the 50/50, you are guaranteed the featured character at 200 pulls.
The issue is that pity resets to 0 once you get any of the featured characters from any other banner. So if you got the student at 190 pulls, you cannot use the 190 pulls to spark another character because it gets set to 0. This change is only good for pulling a single character from a banner, but it is very bad if you want to pull multiple characters in a banner.

TL;DR:

I don’t play Blue Archive, so it took me a bit to understand. Closest approximation I personally have is the spark system from Fire Emblem Heroes. So yeah, I can totally get how frustrating it would be having your spark points set back to 0 if you get a featured character via pure luck.

I will have utmost respect to the BA community if they keep showing spine here instead of reverting to total gooners after one week again. Which is happening already. Nevermind.

Oh, fucking lovely. Just when I started to get back into the game again.

I remember when Umamusume's global server first opened, I wished its gacha was more like BA's. They've since raised its regular Carat (Pyroxene) rewards, and given you the ability to grind for character's Star Pieces (Eleph). All they have to do now is merge more banners together so they have a shared pity system and we'll have gone full-circle.

How the tables turn.

Ouch, that is just plain disgusting. Makes me glad that at least SD Gundam G Gen Eternal has a relatively forgiving gacha system (guaranteed a UR unit/supporter at 100 rolls for new banners, with the ability to manually select one of the featured units for 200 points or the supporter for 300).

Showing she might not "just prefer to watch" as much as she claims.

No wonder they lost

Amazing work, she's absolutely stunning and her body is deliciously detailed

peak as always madame 🔥

This series was such a rollercoaster when it was still going. I am still mad about Bols' family.

Wait, i totally forgot about them. Though i don't really wants to know but, what happened?

This is late but it took some time to work up the courage to remember. the new anti-assassin team finds them at Bols' grave and rapes/kills them on the spot .

I can handle grimdark, I can handle bad things happening to good people, and I like darkly comedic moments. But I think akame as a story relied way too heavily on establishing villains through exploitation of extreme sexual violence or blatant "I love the sound of innocents dying in the morning." speeches.

Bols I liked since he wasn't into cruelty, had a flawed but compelling morality and had a human element.

such a wasted potential...
i miss her so much bros

I do too. But the story went out of its way to try and make her "irredeemable", though that was more of it telling us rather than showing, as Esdeath wasn't necessarily evil, just had with screwed up understanding of "survival of the fittest." But she had so much personality and motivation it was a shame that she didn't at least see the error of her ways.

In fairness, her only redeemable traits were her loyalty to her unit and her unflinchingly yandere love for the MC. I don't think she could see the error of her ways, considering the position she was in and how ingrained her social Darwinist views were short of brainwashing. She was evil not in the sense she was as pointlessly cruel as other characters as much as she was completely okay with and complicit in brutality.

Yea she could have lived , she could have played a role eventually in the new series too how knows. I could have seen her becoming an anti-hero at best and maybe try to be a better person at times , similar to Accelerator from Index maybe.

She was kind of starting to, just not at a fast enough pace for the war. When she encountered Tatsumi in the mountains alone she was flying on the back of a dragon and she went out because of how pretty the moon was. Something she notes was very out of character for her, saying it must be the effect he had on her. If she fell for someone who loved her back, or at least tried talking to her more than twice, she may have changed. At least fought the empire to be stronger than their whole army.
But there wasn't time.
13 years later I still get reminders this woman lives in my heart forever.

It's a good day to be Judgement This was a calculated risk that Moon took, but boy was she bad at math!

Moon really isn't good at under pressure decisions, is she? Of all people, she chooses the one hostage (so to speak) Judgment wouldn't mind shooting

Funnily enough, the real Lucifer didn't catch on what Judgement was about to do. Moon, on the other hand? She did.

This implies that for all of their antagonism, Judgement never really blasted Lucy, whereas Moon likely had at least one disguise ruined by sudden pyromancy to the face.

Lucy did invite her to the movies to watch talking animal flicks so she does understand that trying to smooth things over between the two is the best option if they are going to be in close proximity to one another.

Doesn't change the fact that Judgment really doesn't mind blasting her, but Lucy does make the effort to reconcile... regardless of the outcome.

Judgement's thoughts, probably: "Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius."

Ah is see she is Team Fortress Pyro main

So many watermarks you'd think these were banknotes. I also suspect the weird half-tone-ish pattern on the Pokemon themselves is a form of adversarial noise/model poisoning, so tagging that if that's alright.

Now they float too.

I know you can never have too much cowbell, but this is a very good amount

I have a fever and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!
