I'm now currently ticked off enough to delete PMs, something I usually do not do

Also, if you currently are reading this, you are probably not the person I'm ticked off at. Just so you know because, y'know, some of us are a little paranoid, lol. I myself would appreciate this sort of hint. So yeah.

The empathetic depression has now converted to empathetic annoyance. Chronology has its ways, I guess.

On another note, my mom is so focused right now and it's honestly pretty cute

Oh, something you're probably glad to hear considering the above messages
I'm going back to school tomorrow
There's a lot of other stuff I need to do as well before May, so I might just stay logged out, again.
[Lots of initially typed negativity deleted out.] You can check my status through F/GO. If I stay logged out there for 3 days, then I'm probably dead. But otherwise, you can also check Discord. If I can't get into F/GO, I try to login there. And I guess that's that. If I really can't access either of those places and am in fact alive, then I'll login here and complain about technological advances and difficulties.
Oh well.

-Galaxian-

Ah  y e s, the sorry excuse of a human being who pushed an old lady a few days earlier is now in police custody
Counts as good news.
Now let's see the rest...
Currently occurring war crimes, potential future war crimes, drunk driving resulting in deaths, a shooting that magically disappeared from front pages due to the world being too messed up by this point to care about one (1) dead person, a tornado, politics, homicide, FOX News we don't talk about that, tornado news again, war-associated politics, war-associated politics, hiker death, an earthquake, why is there still a vaccine debate, ooh asteroid, politics, war crimes again
Oh, that was a full go-around.

-Galaxian-

Sorry, I keep spamming here. I swear I'll shut it for a few hours after this post
In my initial F/GO update, I forgot to mention another fun team I used for the raids: Ibaraki-douji, Nezha, and a Buster support who can (passively) generate stars Merlin. 
Nezha fills in the gaps when Ibaraki doesn't have cards to get them stars. She (tbh idk what pronouns to use for her?? She doesn't answer the gender question either :'P) can also generate stars pretty well, like Ibaraki. It's probably not the most optimal team in terms of boss-killing, and Nezha absolutely does not support Ibaraki at all, but hey. Both of them have to do with fire. Good enough for me.

:0!!!

Okay so I was supposed to be out for basically the entire day because of volunteering
But guess whose (former? in person?) school now has a mask-wearing percentage of 2% (:
Turned around on my heel and headed out. We went to the grocery store instead (it's been like 2 months lol), which on average had a mask-wearing percentage of 15%
I thought the newer generation was supposed to be smarter :') guess not.

That was a pretty bold assumption tho tbh

Lol I was the only one in my English class who didn't cheat on a multiple choice test
Multiple choice
And you didn't believe me when I said that some of these people can't write theses (: do I look like a liar to you? Do I?

Lol I didn't quite get the dramatic tone right, I sound more unnecessarily angry, but I'm not. I'm just kinda. I dunno. Looking to stir up trouble xD
Anyways to stir up more potential controversy
Vanilla tootsie roll "midgees" are extremely disgusting and I am gravely disappointed because I (accidentally) finished my supply of White Rabbit candies from 2 years ago and thought they could be a substitute
I hope y'all agree but I'm kinda iffy on this because they're rare and rare things are supposed to be good. I saw a website online claiming them to be "near perfect" but uh, no. Ew. Not for me. Let me know if you like them. I will respect your opinion but, most of all, I will keep all of the ones I still have for you because (:

Also frozen broccoli is disgusting. Completely ruins broccoli. (: even boiled broccoli is better (: ew ew ew helppp

-Galaxian-

I'm gonna briefly ("briefly") discuss F/GO's upcoming free SSR ticket and my personal opinions/thoughts on who I might choose. I'll go through every Servant available (that I remember) and discuss how likely I am to choose them as well as why.
Disclaimer for Echo: These are only my personal choices, not what's most practical for you. So yeah, don't take this as a suggestions post. 
That being said, if you do want to take this opportunity to get a free SSR and don't know who to pick, we could try to work that out. I'm not real familiar with your roster (specifically what Servants you've prioritized leveling, Hektor and Paris aside lol) or what gameplay style you prefer, but hey, why not, lol. I like talking so :'P, it doesn't count as work for me.

That being said, personal preference expressing time!

Sabers-
-Altera: Hard pass. I like her, but I don't need her at NP 2; I'd rather have NP 5 Bedi (his last copy does not come~). And I think as an AOE Saber, she hits hard enough as it is. Anyways, yeah. Nothing against Altera, just that I could be choosing a little better.
-Artoria: I know that she gets buffed some point in the future to become a lot better in her farming niche, but I think I'm good with Altera in terms of farming. Anyways, I've used her as a support, and I'm not very good at using her lol like I'm good at playing this game. So, a pass.
-Mordred: There is a tiny part of my mind that is really tempted to have the Knight of Rebellion in my Chaldea due to irony and friendship purposes (yes, in that order). For the latter, I feel like she'd get along with Caenis (as in they'd probably fight but with no grudges held). But again, I have Altera, so I'll probably pass. If she ever decides to come, well, she'll come. 

Archers-
-Arjuna: No.
To specify more, one, I don't need him in the first place; I have Kid Gil as an AOE Archer, and in general I'll not too big of a fan of AOE outside of farming. Two, it'd be sinful to have him before Karna. Third, who picks Arjuna :'P I mean my opinion of him has somewhat improved since the last time I talked about him, but I still don't like him, lol. 
So yeah. No.
-Orion: No as well. I actually dislike Artemis' design, probably because I saw her design pretty early, before I got more used to how some of F/GO's artists...take certain liberties...anyways, in terms of utilities, I think she's outclassed as well, and anyways, I have Euryale (who's stuck at level 50 lol) and Uncle Will, not to mention Chiron and Tristan (and Snata Altera), so yeah, I don't really need a single-target Arts Servant who's been phased out.
-Napoleon: I heard he's okay utility-wise, but still a pass. In general, I just don't really need an Archer, I guess. I have plenty to go around, I think, and unless one who really would contribute something new to my team(s) shows up by chance in some banner, I probably won't really roll for them. 

Lancers-
-Bradamante: :') Every time I see her Noble Phantasm, a little bit more of my lifeforce slips away.
I don't need another her for NP 2, I believe. Valkyrie apparently outperforms her, which is an oof. Anyways, I like her personality, but NP 2 Bradamante is unnecessary.
Now.
-Karna: Oh boy.
The temptation is really strong. In fact, I had been thinking about deciding on him a little while back. But I've been doubting more and more.
One, he's a favorite, so I feel like I should roll for him out of liking him rather than forcing him into my Chaldea. Second...I do have AOE Lancers. Romulus, Nezha, and NP 2 Caenis. Tbh, it was NP 2 Caenis who kinda made me think, hmm, maybe the Throne wants me to reconsider (lol). 
I dunno. He's still there, definitely, but I'll have to think more about my own views on what rolling for someone means to me (outside of utility) as well as if there's someone else who could help me a bit more.
-Enkidu: Another utility choice. 
I do Not have them leveled enough, but NP 2 them would definitely be really strong.
But the thing is, I do have Ruler Martha as well to fill in the anti-Divine (and anti-Demonic, and anti-Undead) niche. Do I need an NP 2 Enkidu?
The choice would probably be a strong one, but I do also have NP 2 Ibaraki-douji (summer), who is also NP 2 and is crit-oriented. I wouldn't want to phase the oni kiddo out. (Is probably beaten to a pulp by said oni)
I dunno, probably depends on how utility-focused I'll be at the time.

Riders-
-Achilles: NP 2 Achilles is sorta tempting, but I don't think I need that necessarily. Hmm. Definitely not a top choice, but it's there.
-Europa: I have no particular opinion towards her, and so I have no inclination to roll for her. Besides, I've used her as a support Servant before, and it doesn't seem like she's that useful utility-wise. Guessing people pick her for "waifu value." Anyways, a pass for me.
-Ozymandias: Probably something other F/GO players might squint at, but I'm not very good at using Ozy, and though it's entertaining to see him in-story, I don't really have a particular opinion on him (he's better than Gil though :'P). So yeah. A skip, most likely.
-Drake: Also has utility, but I'm not preoccupied with AOE Buster Riders, even though I'm a little better at using her as a Servant than with Ozy. Anyways, also probably a skip.

Casters-
-Anastasia: I have an AOE looping Caster already (Sieg) and don't know anything about her character, so, skip.
-Tangseng/Xuanzang: This is a possibility. I've been using Passionlip and Kingprotea a lot to substitute for Caster damage dealers, and I feel like it might be a good idea to change that a little bit. Also, Journey of the West. I saw her animations involve using the weapons of three of her disciples, which was probably more satisfying than it should have been. Anyways, definitely a possibility, just depends on my priorities.
-Scheherazade: She doesn't want to die~
-Waver: We trekking solidly into "Are you stupid?" territory.
'Cause I know. Probably all the videos and forum topics out there are going, "Go for Waver." Unless one has a particular husbando/waifu/(*insert gender neutral term for those two terms here*), of course, but otherwise, go for Waver.
Yeah, I know that he has unbelievable value, farming-wise and a lot of other things-wise. 50 percent battery on a single Servant, reasonable cooldowns, and Fate Zero connections :'P. And for me, outside of Waver, I used to absolutely look up to Zhuge Liang. (Though his personality does not show, lol.) 
But you know, I'm pretty bad at using him, funnily enough. I've gotten better, but sometimes it feels like he's so general that I'm not very good at using him. And there are a plethora of Wavers on my friendlist. And to add onto it, Zhuge Liang could potentially count as a character who I "should" roll for based on wanting him rather than forcing him into my Chaldea.
In any case, the possibility isn't naught, but if I were to choose him, it'd be out of pure utility, which is...not really like me, to be honest. Even if he'll forever evade my Chaldea, oh well, just gotta take a support him or work around the lack of battery. 
-Tamamo: Part Something of "Are you stupid?" I kinda enjoy using Tamamo, and I think she's important to Arts Teams. But I'm not a fan of her character, and I don't even see her as that integral to gameplay. Charge reduction is nice, yes, and so are the buffs she provides to arts damage dealers, and also skill cooldown reduction. But...I dunno. I don't feel a particular need for her. I like taking support Tamamos along sometimes, but I wouldn't necessarily want to definitely have a Tamamo in my Chaldea. 
Again, still a possibility, just not a very big one.

Assassins-
-Osakabehime: We love and support all NEETs in this Chaldea, but NP 3 Osakabehime is unnecessary (unless she spooks me in the future). Gotta give her some downtime in her room :'P.
-Jack: If I pick them...first ascension. At all times. No exceptions.
What can I say? Utility-wise, they're cool. Anti-female ST Noble Phantasm. Cute murderous child who could probably give Atalante PTSD. Huge star generator. 
But you know, 2030 coming might have been a sign.
I dunno. Also a possibility.

Berserkers-
As a note, I don't really do well with Berserkers. In fact, I don't run them 99% of the time, unless it's for bond (found out Asterios isn't at Bond 5 yet. A crime). So yeah, not much possibility starting off.
-Vlad: Arts ST Berserker is interesting but not worth it. Sorry, Impaler.
-Xiang Yu: I'm kinda tempted on him, but only to make up for burning his wife when I started off (along with Carmilla and Elizabeth, the latter of which I burned without actually thinking about it. No regrets lol). Utility wise, I don't really have good supports for him, so...oof. Anyways, kinda a possibility, even if it depends on my remorse scale :'P. 
-Nightingale: I can see me running a healer Berserker...going terribly. Pass. But I'd like to use her as support someday.

Extra Class:
- Jeanne: I like stalling, but I'm not good at using her, and anyways, too much stalling is...too much stalling. Anyways, I don't really wanna rely on it as a primary strategy xD, so pass.
-Jinako: I don't even know how to use her. I think I'll pass, even if she's a Moon Cancer and thus has, you know, that limited class advantage against Avengers. Iirc she's a tank too, which wouldn't fulfill the purpose anyways.

Watch me haven forgotten certain Servants on the roster, lol. 
But to recap, Servants I'm considering and general reasons why (or why not):
-Karna: Love, and some gameplay utility I think lol. Also his NP animation is awesome. But I might "need" to roll for favorites rather than forcing them, and I technically don't need him utility-wise.
-Enkidu: Extra NP level would probably make them OP. On the other side is me fearing that I might drive Martha and Ibaraki-douji out of usage/their niches.
-Achilles: Extra NP level, But I probably don't really need it, lol.
-Tangseng: ST Buster Caster/DPS, but do I need a ST Buster DPS Caster?
-Waver: Pure utility. But I don't actually see him as a necessity personally, lol.
-Tamamo: Also utility. I have no particular inclination towards choosing her otherwise.
-Jack: Raining stars is cool, ngl. And ST Assassin with a useful niche. On the other hand: 2030, Atalante PTSD, and limited Ascension selections...
-Xiang Yu: Regret regret regret

And that's it, lol.
I'm fairly excited for this ticket, but not necessarily because I'll get a free SSR. It's because I like making decisions when I want to make said decisions, yep. 
I'll decide when the time comes. I don't want to overthink things, because when I don't overthink and make decisions on the moment after a good amount of thought, I don't end up regretting anything. Which is the goal here :D.
'Course, all of these have the ember supply restraint, but I'll try, lol.
Unnecessarily long post of the week? Check.
Galaxian out!

-Galaxian-

Chiron is an SR and iirc you missed his rate-up for the next 2 years (unless Lasengle Lasagna decides to put another in), but he's in the general summons (personally I was "spooked" by him on my New Year's summons), so the possibility is always there. Lemme know if you want me to put him on support too; I'm sure he'd love to help you out!
Enkidu is a solid choice gameplay wise! They're a great soloer, have a great anti-Divine characteristic, and have a single-target Buster Noble Phantasm. But one thing to keep in mind is that you'll probably have to practice soloing them, which means you'll have to keep copies of Georgios/Leonidas/other such Servants (with a Taunt) to fill up the front line to allow yourself to do so for the best results. As for Merlin, iirc he is getting a repeat rate-up sometime near summer (along with Siegfried, who I got last year instead of him lol, what a troll), so saving up is definitely viable. 
I would say that even while saving for Merlin, there is someone else near the end of the year who literally everyone in F/GO has been saying to save up for, so remember to save for them as well (:

Hey Echo and Specter,

Remember that I asked you two to remind me about something exactly 6 months ago? No? I thought so.
It was a hypothetical request, anyways. I knew you wouldn't remember. 'Cause you wouldn't. And have no reason to.
But I've remembered! Zero cues or anything. Look at this long-term memory, lol. (*is continually suffering from all the things they remember they're supposed to do but don't*)
Anyways, it was for an F/GO April Fool's challenge. But it hasn't aged very well, since Echo kinda has their Support set to the challenge by default, and Specter doesn't play anymore. And I don't think I have the time atm to do it anyhow.
In any case, it was basically that I would set my support for Servants (ones I don't usually put on the support list) with the most mismatched CEs ever, and then others were supposed to use those supports (also in Wonky setups), with each class (including the All Classes support) at least once. Proof was supposed to be submitted, either through a screenshot or through saying what went on. And Specter and Echo would do it too. And I guess it was supposed to be fun.

...I think my sense of fun is skewed.

Heck, I'll do it anyways. One day of getting no friend points from others using my supports. Pranking myself is the best thing ever, yep.

Me: (*level one hundred and ten and something, or maybe even one hundred and twenty*)
Also me: (*has beginner level support*)
That one person looking for my usual support Servants: :/

-Galaxiian-

By the way @Echo
The current banner is for a character who is definitely a Saint Seiya reference
You can probably tell immediately. I could lol



Unfortunately, I am getting so many no-roll vibes that I won't try for him. But good luck if you toss a few SQ his way!
I personally am completely fine with not-Shaka in my Chaldea (*glances at Tristan and that album he made when he was drunk*)

-Galaxian-

Also owo I would like to use your Chiron on support, I will probably spam him into my team like I do with The Prince of Lan Ling XD, you can tell I have favorites
