Livestream Stuff
Showcased Angelina the Mellow Wish, our first 6★ Skyranger Specialist with a different twist on her gravity manipulation
Talent 1 - Floating Above the Earth makes her attacks deal additional Arts damage and another instance of Arts damage to enemies with 3 or less Weight, the talent also inflicts Weightlessness to all enemies in her range while she's in Take Off
Talent 2 - Dancing in the Heavens grants all operators in Take Off more ATK and lets them recover a certain % of their Max HP every second when blocking when she is deployed
Skill 1 - Express Delivery immediately has her Take Off upon deployment, increases her Attack Range and ATK and lets her attack 2 enemies at once
Skill 2 - Gravity Customization expands her Attack Range, makes her Take Off and glide forwards, ground enemies in her range are Levitated for a few seconds and flying enemies in her range are Grounded for a few seconds (stops them from moving and allows ground allies to attack them), during skill duration her Attack Interval is significantly decreased, her ATK is increased, her attacks deal Arts damage and she can attack multiple enemies at once
Skill 3 - Bittersweet Thoughts is an ammo skill that makes her Take Off, increases her ATK, grants her a certain amount of Aerial Sanctuary (takes less damage from flying enemies), expands her Attack Range and makes the 8 surrounding tiles around Angelina additionally count as her Attack Range, her attacks deal Physical damage to multiple enemies at once + 1 additional flying enemy, flying enemies in her range have reduced Movement Speed and if there is an unblocked flying enemy within the original skill range and she is not blocking it, she will immediately Move to the tile that enemy is located (she can move to block enemies above tunnel exits and holes but not High Ground tiles)
Showcased Thumpy, a 6★ Primal Protector Defender that specializes on dealing Corrosion damage
Talent 1 - Adventure Theory makes her take less Elemental Injury unconditionally, and whenever she deals Physical damage she also deals Corrosion damage equal to a certain % of her ATK and reduces the target's Corrosion Burst cooldown time by a certain amount
Talent 2 - Solid Foundations makes it so whenever an enemy that has been hit by Thumpy triggers Corrosion Burst she will gain DEF (stacks up to a limit) and a certain amount of Barrier (can't exceed a certain % of Max HP)
Skill 1 - "Haven't Left?" increases her ATK & DEF, lets her attack multiple enemies equal to her Block Count and makes her attacks push them away
Skill 2 - "Tread Carefully~" increases her ATK & DEF and immediately has her spray 4 passable tiles ahead of her with a strong adhesive, which deals Physical damage and inflict a brief Slow at an interval to enemies walking on it, and whenever an operator deals Physical damage to enemies stuck in the adhesive they additionally deal Corrosion damage equal to a certain % of Thumpy's ATK
Skill 3 - "Don't Leave!" lets her attack multiple enemies equal to her Block Count, increases her ATK, DEF & Block Count and deploys a conveyor belt onto the 4 tiles ahead of her which causes enemies with 4 or less Weight to move towards her at a certain speed, enemies on top of the conveyor belt also take Physical damage every second and Corrosion Burst triggered on them reduce even more DEF
Showcased the event mechanics
Angelina will fly around in the stage inflicting Levitate to enemies and giving SP to operators
There are flying mail that she will grab and deliver to a mailbox, when the mailbox is full it will Levitate and Slow multiple enemies in its range and give a bunch of SP to operators in its range
Special tunnel entrances that can lead to multiple exits, operators can be deployed on these exits to block them off and force enemies to come out of specific exits
The cost required to spark Gavial the Invincible will be reduced to 200 starting from this event, the cost to spark Texas the Omertosa will be reduced to 200 in the next anniversary event

My track record with Sui banners has been pretty average i'd say with me consistently needing to hit 120 to get the Sui siblings
I was hoping to break that pattern this year and i guess the game heard me and decided i needed to hit 120 for Ch'en 3 instead and 170 for Wang 💀
At the very least this puts me close to 200 so i can finally spark Nian and equip the movie outfit i bought for her even if i am now left with less than 5k orundum for the first time in years

"Authorization password obtained... Verification successful... Okay, that's all. I'll handle the rest of the handover procedures at once. Rhodes Island elite operator Mechanist, now in your command order."
____________
When you approached him with your manufacturing requirements, you were actually a little apprehensive. You knew how difficult it was to turn those ideas, which you yourself were skeptical of, into reality. But it was the best solution a researcher could come up with in a very limited time.
You hadn't been unaware of the stories about Mechanist when he worked as a university teaching assistant. Several physics students had come to him twelve times in three days, scratching their heads over their crystal electronics engineering assignments because they simply couldn't find a Originium component in the materials lab with a resistance value that was exactly seven or eight decimal places accurate.
And it just so happens, Mechanist could make it.
He actually did, and then he crushed it in front of those students. He berated them, saying that machines won't conform to their arbitrary calculations, and only humans would be stupid enough to do such a thing, but they were studying *Columbian expletives* physics, not people.
Mechanist took your requirements document. He looked at the requirements, looked at you, looked back at the robotic arm behind him, and then looked at the requirements again.
"I can do it."
But...?" you asked hesitantly.
"But I must say first, machines won't conform to such arbitrary calculations; only humans would be foolish enough to do that..." You could hear the unspoken meaning in his words. He was saying that you of course, understood his principle, so he was willing to be the fool.
Fun event, i actually love when stage mechanics encourages you to bring along ops to do extra things (in this case more healers to fill the fountains) and the gimmick of ops standing near the flowers hallucinating enemies to shoot at is literally just there to waste skill charges/ammo it's honestly really funny, the stages were interesting due to this and some of them are particularly hard like EX-7 if you don't have the right units to deal with them
The story was... Well i wouldn't be the first to say how this story feels really uncomfortable if you think about it for a sec, especially with the decision to have the whole core of the story being that Titi (a black woman assigned to be her country's ambassador) feels responsible to make amends for her country's brutal century-long occupation of Not-Greece and then have Xanthos (a character from Not-Greece who fought at the end of the occupation) direct his hate of his country's colonizers towards her specifically because she's the ambassador, at the very least i do appreciate how the conclusion of the story didn't have Xanthos magically forgive and forget his country's colonizers and it's not framed as a bad thing either, but this event really drives the point that HG should have handled Sargon better in the first place. As for the other characters' parts of the story Lena's part was a bit confusing but i think the messy conclusion was intentional, Hekádemos and Lykeion are off on their yaoibait odyssey, and icl it's probably because of my chronic fatigue but i just couldn't pay attention to what the other named characters were doing and just filed them away as sequel bait, so overall it was a nice little story brought down by the consequences of HG's worldbuilding decision to make Sargon like that
To absolutely no one's surprise i really like Varkáris' design and maxed him out, even spent a few primes to refill sanity so i can get his Lv3 module faster (i will never financially recover)
Saving my thoughts about his part in the event story for later but for now i will say it's a bit funny how his Talk 2 line is him hiding and avoiding his medical appointments and then his Trust 2 line has the Doctor leading him to the medical department just to get his oripathy treatment he's really cute
Pedro, 5★ Supportive Ranger Supporter (new branch)
Don't treat me like a child... Ah, whatever.
Aphrissa, 6★ Blast Caster
Believe me, Doctor, the more remote the market, the more vibrant its colors.
In your opinion, does pure, ideal, and unbiased observation truly exist?

Annihilation #36 - Capella Orationis Tacitae, annihilation mission in Laterano with The Masses' Travels enemies and mechanics
One of the most interesting set of event stages i'll tell you that much, i was curious when i heard the event basically had nothing but flying enemies and the event mechanic was special platforms that lets your operator block them so i was pleasantly surprised how well it actually played, though i have to agree that the tileset was a bit annoying with how the non-levitating platform tiles are so indistinguishable i often go through stages without ever noticing those tiles exist
Despite all the memes about Tin Man doing 9/11 i honestly didn't expect them to actually commit a false flag operation by blowing up the theme park and blame it on foreign spies this isn't even subtle they straight up spell it out for you, i didn't expect much from Nasti's part of the story but it was honestly really touching icl i cried a little at the end she just wanted to wipe the tears off her mom's face 🥹🥹🥹, i already talked about how i'm absolutely charmed by Skybox but Cairn was also an honestly awesome part of the event i'm really sad i didn't get her from my Nasti pulls, honestly there's just so much more about this event story than i can properly articulate especially with the message of 'progress should not leave people behind' being intertwined with a lot of the characters in this event especially with Sky and Mercia but i will say it definitely shot up to being one of my top favorite ak event stories (also i am patiently waiting for Maryam to become playable just know i will NOT be normal when it happens)
Very late to the party but i must announce i have unfortunately fallen for Gordon Tannen's charms there is no hope for me (i was already planning on getting him maxed out when he was first revealed)
He is very much a scumbag but an honestly respectable one and really funny if nothing else, also apparently according to his promotion file the Doctor actually first interacted with him when they got arrested to get back at Mama John's in that one short story in Vigilo honestly what an insane callback
I've already read the mission briefing, leave it to me.

Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents
Apple App Store Age Verification
These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.
Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.
If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.
Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.
Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.
That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.
"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.
This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.
Where's the fucking. The form. The fucking form. Hang on, lemme find it.
Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your
This! Please fill out this! Select "Feedback" and fill out the form! They won't necessarily be paying attention to us complaining in posts, but they will read these forms!
Really making a habit of these last minute event clears huh
Event stages were great, the event mechanic is neat since it can be used as a kinda tile ban but you can also take advantage of it as a crowd clearer or just plan around not letting enemies into the avalanche zones, also i have to bring up that i hated trying to figure out S-5 CM until i realize SilverAsh alter S3 + Ulpianus with Marcille S2 to stun cancel the deer pretty much solves the stage lol
Event story was pretty good, i had to speedrun the event story in one sitting but it was just that good that i didn't feel bored at all, i really love how the event name is really fitting since it kinda is just repeating the same plot points of Break the Ice but at the same time they're moving forward into the future, it was neat to see them cover the topic of the people being left behind by the rapid advancement of Kjerag and also this time topic of religion and faith and community isn't an allegory for race
Other people have already said it better than i can but i love how the writers didn't make Enya forgive Enciodes for making her the Saintess and that she still holds resentment against him even when she accepts that what he's doing is to make Kjerag better, also idk if it was because i was speedrunning the story but i didn't believe for a second that Ratatos was actually gonna betray the other clans nor did i think she died in the explosion, i understand Elena's inclusion in the story since Rhine Lab is here and it does tie in to her whole story about science vs superstition and how she's bitter about her family traditions and now she's surrounded by people with genuine honest faith in what she thinks is superstitious nonsense and she didn't know how to process that, i had a bad feeling about Adso when he asked Enya if she thought Kjeragandr was real so i wasn't too surprised when he turned out to be the antagonist of the story but i can't lie i do like that the writers brought up the topic of "if god is real then why does (s)he allow suffering to continue" and Adso's entire crisis of faith made him one of my favorite antagonists in AK, i loved that they still managed to fit in Degenbrecher aura farming in the story and lastly i have to say i'm a bit disappointed that Ensia and Monch were barely relevant but oh well next Kjerag event surely
