Vina has area true damage with no drawbacks. The power creep is real.

It sounds like Kal’tsit died and left her part-human part-inorganic child to clean up all her war crimes. Mon3tr would have a lot to discuss with Steven Universe.

What I’m getting from Weiss’s new oprec is that Degenbrecher really did fight an avalanche and win.

If I’m reading this right, Laios’s passive talent only activates when he gets a finishing blow. But when he uses his skill 2, both him and his target become unable to attack for 10 seconds, during which your other units will attack and potentially get the finishing blow. This seems poorly put together.

The main feeling I'm getting from Magia Record is "I miss Arknights." Every usable character in MR is a schoolgirl who lives in Japan, and there's clearly some struggle to differentiate them all. Arknights has characters from all over the (fictional) continent, at varying ages, in all sorts of jobs.

Why is an NPC so much browner than any of the PCs we got from this event?

Sand Reckoner is also brown, but he’s Genshin Impact brown. Just the slightest hint of melanin.

Two centuries of Aegirian research into A.I., and Avitas describes the result as “disappointing.” Meanwhile, R.I. has A.I.s that seem smarter than some of their employees. Nice to see Aegir can still lay the occasional goose egg.

Hold up. This character is supposed to be a ghoul?

We’re doing “what if these Genshin characters were black?” So what if the Arknights characters based on African animals were black? Black Beanstalk. Black Earthspirit. Potentially black Crownslayer. We could have had it all . . .

Need someone who knows Arknights lore to explain what the fuck is going on with the Iteration Provident timeline. My best guess is that Skadi the Corrupting Heart somehow stole Tragodia’s power and used it to create a fairy wonderland.

Also, I need to see how Iris turns out in this timeline.

New Arknights characters keep beating each other for the title of “worst person R.I. has ever recruited.” So it makes sense that the player character caused more suffering than most of them combined. From here, there’s nowhere to go but up.

WTF spoiler from an unofficial English translation of Marcille’s Weibo introduction:

The realization that, despite Siege Arknights being a Chinese game’s reference to a Japanese visual novel’s genderbend of a British mythological figure, the closest thing she has to a real-world ethnicity is “vaguely Turkish.”

Monster by Starset was used in an early Arknights trailer. I saw a post arguing that the song represented the Doctor, and somehow I got confused and thought they were talking about Monster You Made by Pop Evil. I still think it fits.

What the hell is Mountain doing? From his new operator module, the Hyde brothers died in a way he seemingly had no involvement in. (From his skin, he killed them and got away with it.) But there’s something he’ll “do next” that will have blowback he doesn’t want R.I. involved in. The only thing I can think of for him to get revenge on is big business as a whole. Is he gonna bomb the stock exchange or something?

Arknights doesn't usually have real-world races, but it has obvious counterparts to real-world nationalities. Sometimes painfully obvious.

If the only example of a species makes sense for its region, I count it. If the only example makes no sense, like an Indian Grey Moongoose from the Russia equivalent or a Feathered Serpent in the U.S., I don't count it. Them's the breaks.

Anywhere: Bird, Rat, Snake, Lizard, Tiger

U.S.A: Fox, Otter, Robot

South America (Not Indigenous): Dog

Amazon (Indigenous): Crocodile

Britain or France or Scotland: Cat, Lion, Wyvern, Western Dragon, Unicorn

Poland: Horse, Pegasus

Spain or Seasteader: A very wide variety of sea creatures

Basque Country: Dwarf

Germany: Goat, European Fallow Deer, Wolf if you happen to be a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart reference.

Italy (Mafia): Wolf, sometimes Fox

Italy (Catholic) or Switzerland: Angel

Tibet or Norway or also Switzerland: Yak, Snow Leopard, Jormungandr

Greece: Cow

Eastern Europe (Jewish): Demon, Goliath. (Yes, this gets offensive sometimes)

Eastern Europe (kinda Jewish, but kinda doing their own thing): Lots of different "monsters" like Vampire or Gargoyle.

Somewhere in Africa or the Middle East, all squashed together: Camel, Zebra, Hyena, Frog, Rhino, Manticore, a couple of cat breeds.

Russia: Bear

China: Panda, Gaur, Yangtze Finless Porpoise, almost anything from Buddhist or Chinese mythology

Japan: Oni, Shiba Inu, Kitsune, Nue, Kamaitachi

Either China or Japan: Sika Deer.

Mongolia: Nightmare (technically, these are also squished into the Africa/Middle East hybrid)

Australia: Rabbit

Anywhere cold and northern that's stereotypically "primitive" or "Native": Deer, Arctic Fox, Norwegian Forest Cat, supposedly Cyclops but seems more like Norn

I don't even know: Yithian

Did you all just ignore that your new “Chinese Onceler” threatened to murder that tiger girl you used to simp over?

What exactly is Ji from a Chinese perspective? I read him as Old Scratch making deals, but China doesn’t have Old Scratch, so what does he parallel? What Chinese figure sells you illusions of your heart’s desire and then claims a terrible payment for it?

To me, the most surprising thing about the latest Arknights controversy is that people think of Hoederer as white. Arknights characters have real-life nationalities, but I was joking when I talked about them having real-life races.

Jerry is on the landship. This is not a drill. This guy is on the landship: Nervous businessman (He commented on the placement of the power cabinet in Alanna’s dorm room, saying it’s too close to the bed.)
