Mechanist
6★ Sentry Protector Defender
Blocks 3 enemies and attacks from long range
Talent 1
Can deploy a Structural Principle that lasts for 30 seconds and has an independent redeployment time
Talent 2
Mechanist and the Structural Principle gains a certain amount of Barrier upon deployment; The Barrier can block excess damage
Skill 1 - Concentration Algorithm
Offensive Recovery, Auto Activation
When skill is active, Attack Interval increases, attacks become 5-hit AoE combos, each hit dealing a certain % of ATK as AoE Physical damage
Skill activation grants ammo and the skill ends when all ammo is used (Can manually deactivate skill)
Skill 2 - Assistive Defense Techniques
Auto Recovery, Manual Activation
When skill is active, ATK increases, Mechanist and the Structural Principle immediately gains a certain amount of Barrier. When the Barrier breaks, deal a certain % of ATK as Arts damage to all nearby enemies and inflict a few seconds of Frighten, then consume 1 ammo to replenish the Barrier
Skill activation grants ammo and the skill ends when all ammo is used (Can manually deactivate skill)
Skill 3 - Engineering Meteor Shower
Auto Recovery, Manual Activation
When skill is active, ATK increases, Attack Interval greatly increases, attacks deal a certain % of ATK as Arts damage in a cross-shaped area and can target enemies blocked by the Structural Principle
Upon skill activation the Structural Principle immediately charges forward and deals a certain % of ATK as Physical damage to all nearby enemies upon colliding with an enemy or a high ground tile and then staying there, surrounding enemies suffer a gradually diminishing Enfeeble effect
Mechanist SO-α module Lv3
ATK and DEF increases
New Trait: In The Black Flow of the Drowning Seekers, ATK increases to 150% when attacking enemies blocked by self or the Structural Principle
Talent Improved: In The Black Flow of the Drowning Seekers, the Structural Principle has infinite duration and gains a certain amount of Barrier every second after not taking damage for a certain amount of time (up to a limit)
"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 *Columbia 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.
with wang release coming soon let's all remember that he's explicitly kinda dogshit at weiqi and it took him literal centuries of constant practice to start winning casual games and the government kept him "sealed" all that time purely by beating him in weiqi because he agreed to stay in his room like a good boy for 60 years every time he lost and when after centuries upon centuries he finally won a game against the grand tutor and got to leave the house for a bit he caused The Jie Incident
(IW-ST-3)
he just throws around exploding pieces as an operator because he's Bad At It

the original got flagged with no way to appeal it when every contributor is deactivated but I will never let this post die. it's monday and we are getting on it cunts
"true but i don't agree" is me about every complaint people have about is6 like raidian has way outsized impact on your runs and the voucher reserve system restricts your pathing bc you need to get recruitment nodes and the early floor maps are intense in a way that disincentivizes experimenting with openers and the large amount of hitcount mechanics restrict your operator picks further and the coins are finnicky and so on but i. am literally having so much fun in here
[“The Roman Catholic Church’s definition of incest is one of the most intriguing features of medieval marriage. Neither the Old nor New Testament provided any basis for it. But in the mid-sixth century, church synods began to denounce as incestuous the Old Testament practice of marrying a brother’s widow. Also, during the sixth and seventh centuries bishops began condemning marriage to first and second cousins, stepmothers or stepdaughters, and the widows of uncles. In 721, Pope Gregory II even forbade marriage with the godmother of one’s child or with the mother of one’s godchild.
A few decades later marriage was forbidden up to the seventh degree of separation, or “as far as memory could go back.” This made it illegal to marry a descendant of one’s great-great-great-great-great-grandfather! By the end of the eighth century it was incestuous to marry in-laws, the kin of godparents or godchildren, or a relative of someone you had once had sexual intercourse with. It was also forbidden to marry a relative of someone you had previously promised but failed to marry. These prohibitions were so broad that almost any match could be ruled invalid. One historian notes that, at least in theory, the incest rules prohibited young village men from wedding “all the marriageable girls they could possibly know and a great many more besides.”
[…]
On the other hand, because the rules were so routinely ignored at the time of marriage, they could later be used to invalidate an existing marriage. A claim of incest provided an escape clause from the Church’s strictures against divorce. A married couple, or one of the pair, who desired a divorce might suddenly discover that the marriage had been incestuous all along. In the late eleventh century the Count of Anjou was able to repudiate five of his own marriages by dint of diligent genealogical research. In 1152 the divorce of King Louis VII of France and Eleanor of Aquitaine was approved when the couple pointed out that they were related within four or five degrees. The excuse served, even though this had been common knowledge at the time of their wedding and Louis’s next wife, Constance of Castile, was even more closely related to him than Eleanor had been. As one historian notes, the church’s “abhorrence of incest provided a gap in the laws of monogamy through which a king . . . could drive a coach and horses.”
In 1215 the Fourth Lateran Council narrowed the definition of incest to four degrees of separation. The council’s stated aim was to enforce the modified ban more stringently. But popes continued to grant dispensations for political or financial gain. Under the papacy of Boniface IV (1389-1404), marital dispensations were openly available for sale, with a sliding fee scale based on the value of the concession being sought.”]

I've been using this tool called tumblr-utils to back up my tumblr blogs. it creates a locally navigatable archive of a given tumblr url's posts, which is more convenient than the post soup you get from tumblr's native blog export feature.
what that means is that I have a folder on my computer with the name of my url with an index.html file in it, and when i click on that file to open it in a browser I get a simple page with a list of years and months. selecting a specific month will send me to a list of the posts i made or reblogged in that month, similar to tumblr's own archive page. the contents of the post including images are stored locally on your machine.
It can also make a separate index file that organises posts by tag, which is great if you're a consistent tagger, but it will list every single tag you've ever used so it can take a while to find the tag you're looking for in the list if you're a habitual tag commentator. generating the tag archive also takes a while depending on how many posts have to be processed.
you can make it back up any blog as long as it's not set to private. I have backups of both my main and sideblogs and it keeps them in separate folders.
it's had some trouble going all the way back to the start of my main blog in 2012 just by sheer volume of posts, but by making it fetch posts from one month at a time I've been able to go back to 2015 (that's tens of thousands of posts), which was good enough for my purposes.
it might be a little scary to use if you've never touched the command line before, but there's both text and video instructions to set it up and using it is just a matter of typing the command and letting it do its thing in the background.
