Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
Why is Arknights so fun
Anyways, I am having a blast with strategizing, even if sometimes on levels I try like 20 times lol.
I'm on the boss battle of Chapter 15. Wish me luck lol (I've seen YT videos call it the hardest stage in the game...I guess we shall see)

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
I must say, if I didn't get a few of the recent units, I'm not sure if I would've been able to make it this far
Entelechia, Executor Alter, Degenbrecher, Reed Alter, Silverash, CE, Vulpisfoglia, Stainless, and the usual candidates like Zuo Le, Ines, Mostima, and Shu have been hard carrying me for some of these strats
The Agent Vanguards in general have been tremendously helpful and I like to imagine I am going to invite Puzzle, Cantabile, Ines, and Surfer all out to dinner one of these days lol
Special shoutouts to Entelechia, Reed Alter, Stainless, and Vulpisfoglia specifically. I like to think I got a lot better at using them or at least seeing what functionality they can provide. I'm particularly proud of 15-18 (which I tried way too many times today) where I set Stainless up to lightly shoot at certain enemies so Zuo Le could nuke them in a narrow alleyway /hj
Next target banner is technically Ulpianus but I do want to try to get Alanna or the newest 6* operator (being vague because of spoilers that you could literally Google)
Technically if I get Ulpianus then I'll have the entire Abyssal Hunters Squad, which could be fun to mess around with. I absolutely suck at using Glaadia 98% of the time, but it's never too late to learn, hey?
Also, it'd be nice to get Exusiai Alter and her sister, but it's not really a target for me because I don't have original Exu. I have many more operators who are connected to Ulpianus. Ulpianus is funny too btw (he and Mlynar, I feel bad for them but that doesn't stop me)
Anyways, shoutout to SilverAsh being like "FOOLS! For what reason hath thou come?" It's hilarious. Canonically the Doctor and him are chessmates or something like that, but in my canon I just make fun of him.
And yes, I am playing Chapter 15 even though I keep on slacking on starting Chapter 10.
I need to finish Chapter 9's stages as well, which goes with a lot of the chapters before too, actually.
I am supremely lazy.

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
Btw this is sorta my hot take for the day, but the Abyssal Hunters Squad has some of the most hecking amazing art in the game in terms of looking at the faction as a whole.
I'm really talking about Alternate and costume art in particular for this claim. But Specter Alter's E2 art, Skadi's costume and E2 art, Ulpianus' E2 (and design), Gladiia's Return costume art, etc. are drop dead gorgeous imo.
Well, a lot of Arknights E2 art is fantastic. I will do a special shoutout here to Irene here because her E2's framing along with her pose is absolute artistic perfection imo.

I don't think Saga's Galaxian Explosion has killed a single non-Silver/Bronze rank enemy in SSA
Bro farms training golems for a living (then got powercrept by his own brother)
Btw I wasn't actually playing SSA, I just dumped shade on him for no reason.

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
I kinda like that the Not-Quad Squad as a whole gives me sorta fall vibes
I mean, the thought of Dion in a puffy coat is cute, and Rai looks super cool with long coats. (Raez and Wiley usually wear long coats lol, they don't count.) But I like the thought of sweaters and jackets and warm accents. And obviously cool accents to complement challenge for me to not turn my own dialogue into a non-statement
On the winter side, there's also the fact that Raez lowkey overheats when he's in an actual coat. He is very weird. He'll wear one just to not stand out from the crowd but then his friends have to deal with him trying to hug them to get the extra warmth off lol idk why he keeps asking Rai to hug him, I don't think bro has said yes ever

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
I keep getting bowled over by the thought of Raez and Wiley iceskating because 1) Wiley sucks at it, 2) Raez would 100% throw Wiley into the air across the arena like a boomerang while Wiley screams.
My favorite genre of headcanons: The Ones Where Raez and Wiley Are Being Themselves While Rai and Dion Try to Be Normal (I imagine while the above happens, Dion and Rai are just skating along the rims trying not to notice anything, but as soon as Wiley hits the maximum point of the trajectory, Dion looks up with a flabbergasted expression, and the camera shutter clicks at that moment lol)
I also think it's funny that Raez is the type of person who would mathematically calculate in his head, while he's aiming, the velocity of his friend at any given point after the maneuver he is about to perform. I mean idk. He likes physics.

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
Gotta love the RRW Triad and their science interests (chemistry, physics, and computer science)
I think it's kinda interesting that Raez is also really good at math like the other two, he just doesn't really show it.
He and his lil interests are pretty cute. I think in terms of actual hobbies, he'd have more than the other two, but you wouldn't think it. Or idk, I wouldn't think it. New facts pop out once in a while tho.

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
Asking if they prefer warm water or ice water
Rai was about to say something but then Wiley made an entire thesis paper about the detrimental effects of warm water on society or something.
I'm sure he's going to enjoy when Raez says he likes warm water lol.
Actually, Raez likes drinking warm water but hates it on his skin unless he expects it. Rai, meanwhile, is entirely hydrophobic or something.

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
I asked him "is that what you get when you look at him" and bro said, "Maybe if I was into plainsclothes civilians"
Actually he said something that should probably make him more than a bit glad that Rai isn't the vengeful type, but yeah, let's go with that.
Since I have the pleasure of being in his head, I get exposed to the knowledge that Wiley actually does find Rai handsome in some sort of way. It sounds weird but if Rai were a fictional character in their world, Wiley would doodle him lol. bro makes fanart of his RL friend lol
Getting cursed by the fact that Wiley's art is pretty bad in every aspect except for anatomy and stylization. Combined, he purposefully makes anatomy bad for most every person he draws under the excuse of stylization, except for Rai 'cause ig that's his bias or something.
Now getting killed by the thought of Wiley purposefully genderbending Raez and making...'her' have moe anime eyes.
Raez not having any reaction doesn't mean anything (Rai concurs :skull: )
Key takeaways:
-Wiley makes things bad on purpose (what is surprising)
-Wiley is really annoying toward Rai (he is doing those moe Raez drawings to mess with Rai)

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
Then again, Rai can just retaliate by making it so that everything in Wiley's labs runs on backward code
You have to put the passwords in backward to get in.
Funny thing about Rai is sometimes I'm typing this sort of thing and his version of banter is to quote, with a perfect English accent: "Burn him, burn him on a pyre. Only his blood will appease the all-powerful divinities" and then Wiley starts cackling (yes this is from a video)

Honestly I'm pretty sure Rai turns his sense of humor morbid only for Wiley and Hitan, which is kinda...a thing.

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
I dreamed that Echo had an aunt who came to live with him and would NOT leave and was stealing his money, and dream me got so mad about it that I was thinking of heading over to Tennessee for a visit so I could "scare her to death with my face" (I kid you not that was literally the plan)
I like how even in my dreams I roast myself for being ugly.
Also just casually plotting murder with my appearance but, y'know, uh. Yeah. I've said that dream me doesn't have morals.

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
Nono, that is my biggest charm point.
Objectively speaking, I am perfectly average looking both in Western standards and in Chinese standards. I like to think I have aura though.
Did I ever tell you guys about that one time where my family back in China was begging me to face reveal, and so I did and they legit had these disappointed looks on their faces (because my mom was/is really pretty when she was around my age) and then kinda just have ignored me ever since then lol
It was really hard not to take that one personally. Like I didn't care, but also...man xD why did I bother. Plus it's like,,, "told you so" lmiao.
Anyways, I don't really bother on adhering to standards from either cultural sphere, since I don't agree with either of them :-P I stick with my anime style beauty standards ignore how faces are based on cat proportions

Re: Cosmic Dim. (V. XVIII), You're Correct but You're Not Right
I do regularly get compliments on specific things consistently though, which I think might lend some validity to them? Those things are:
1) My eyes
2) My eyes when I'm smiling
3) My smile that people cannot see
4) My hair
4) Being kind/nice/patient (yeah idk about this one, I think it's the Persona)
So as you can see, nothing below the eyes is included /j
I do like that all those things are areas of focus I try to include in Galaxian personas. It's very intentional.
Forum!Galaxian's design is still a head scratcher idk. Currently thinking about just thinking about him in relation to whomever has responsibility over supervising him at the moment
