Ironically enough, even though I think a good handful of the upcoming updates and content for Endfield look great, I feel like I'm better off waiting for the game to be fully realized than to keep up with it as a live service. I dropped off around 1.4, and I haven't had the urge since.

LRP: I promise you when I cast for LeverBoi's Stronghold Protocol Tournament I will make it a point to attempt to consistently pronounce Kjerag semi-correctly if only because this chart made a lasting impression on me

New seasonal content genre unlocked: Sock Stacks Clears for 8 hours (the time discrepancy is because I had to go to bed and go to work in between starting and ending the run)

This turned into a 6 hour stream and I didn't even finish the run yet, gonna do so in just a bit. The goal is now max stacks all cores and fully buffed Pith Student. Reviewed the bans from the VOD - gonna need a lot of Ashlocks and Alliance juggling, but I think I can make it happen.

Thinking that I try to find some time to stream tonight and tomorrow night to finally have some fun for myself going for some unconventional Stronghold Runs. Solos, of course, because going timerless and not having to find 3 willing individuals to go along with this is quite nice, actually.

#Arknights Laterano easily took me the longest because their lopsided roster coupled with the lack of viable in-house stack scaling and less multiplicative damage multipliers means I lost IRL sanity working on this one. But if you still want to blast the screen with Lemuen nukes, there are ways.

#Arknights I tried max stack "Yan" once. It took me about 50 resets from bad bans and 5 more from my own incompetence. You do not need to spend 2 hours and get double-dragons to have an actual good Yan run. But there are some good habits to learn from having tried to do so.

#Arknights The guide of least urgency is here, because Kjerag is...kinda chilling, pun half-intended? The lineup is solid, the stacking is easier, and the side-alliances scale well. I hope nobody needed this sooner...but I know better than to just give up even though I'm late.

I'm sure that I miss a lot of stuff compared to some posters I see here with more enriched perspectives than mine (read: I'm straight as hell and my allyship does not give me queer perception) so don't give me too much credit here. I also happen to be on a self-created time crunch, so, y'know.

....you read the whole thing in less then like 5 hours....i legit forget how fast normal functioning people accomplish things. Meanwhile im just like.

I must say, the fact that I recognized all the Ursine (read: Russian) profanity in People, A People because I've watched enough Life of Boris made me quite happy. What a glorious hot mess. Heavy-handed, I concur, but the side threads kept it stitched together quite nicely after the dust settles.

#Arknights Ægir got a lot of love this season - the fish are still pretty freaky to play, but I think they're in a better place with some synergies you might not expect. Also my condolences to Andreana enjoyers in the proverbial chatroom - her sacrifice was not in vain, I assure you.

Now that I am done with all the guides, I can finally-- *Still hasn't read People, A People or done the stages* ...take the Pith...strategy. Y'know this could've landed cleaner if I had just locked in but now I really am taking the piss.

Ever since hearing about it I wanted to get this one in before the season was over, if nothing else. Got scammed out of Hidden Core though. Not sure why.

Should I have been playing on Dire to get better games? Probably. Did I still manage to get a Laterano win on ultimate even if it only got halfway through Hidden Core? At long last, yes.

Tried the other factions I've yet to cover today. Ran out of time before work. Calling it a day for today, and if I don't get it done over the weekend, I gotta make some decisions to move on.

I have grinded an unholy amount of Laterano games today with little to show for it because not only have they all fallen short of Hidden Core on Ultimate but I'm looking back at my script and I cannot for the life of me match my talking points to what I can remember of the footage

#Arknights The factory must grow...wait, sorry, wrong game. Victoria's got factories though, and they make stuff! Don't need Protocol-Originium to swing these hammers. This season, it's Arts, Arts, and more Arts for the Victorians through layers of multiplicative damage scaling. Also, 2 in 1 day!

#Arknights The Varjavandabad Museum girlies are united this season in Sargon's roster, and Titi's Precision stacking opens up huge potential. But apart from that, Sargon is as reliable and skill-spammy as ever. Now go turn up the volume on Mystic Light Quest for this party for me, would you?
