post by "ravi @goomvi.online" says: is this that artist I’ve seen 1 million reposts of today the screenshot in the post, an X post from June 19th, 2023 by "ebora lb6 era @youngmanisdown" says, "About the tracing allegations. I'm sorry to disappoint everyone but they are true. I've been using ai generated images as a base for several of my works" this callout post is THREE YEARS OUT OF DATE! IT IS POSTED ON JULY 20th, 2026!
Garion_mmm says "This was truly a fascinating read as a Korean-Canadian (whos also named Ga-yeong LOL); the psychological thriller elements as well as the thoughtful character writing cemented this game as a story I'll remember, I really don't think I'll ever stop thinking about this for a while. I was really interested in Han-Byeol's ideology with God and the factory and how strong her character was throughout the entire story. I definitely believe she was the rope that tied this game together. I feel very bad for her though :( since she's really only just a child. Ga-Yeong was also a favorite; not only because we share the same name lol, but also the sadistic nature of her character is something I find unique in stories and also something I love in seeing deeply flawed characters. But yeah. shout out to evil perverted Koreans."

review of the game on backloggd by me, says "Ga-yeong has done nothing wrong whatsoever :)"
Bay was among the wave of directors who moved from advertising into movies. David Fincher is perhaps the most acclaimed and highest-profile of this group. Bay worked at the same production company as Fincher and was known as “the little Fincher.” Jake Gyllenhaal has worked with both directors and claims they are the “same.” Megan Fox’s criticisms of Bay as “a tyrant” on set recall Robert Downey Jr.’s description of Fincher as “a disciplinarian.”

the game has a different menu now. logo is at the foot of the menu, has a cross next to it with the korean title running down it vertically, and all the options are in cyan and it's all on an opaque black block spanning the width of the screen
a screenshot from tactical challenge (pvp) in blue archive, the mode where you pit your AI controlled team against another AI controlled team. the two Eimis are duking it out. because of Eimi's ability to heal constantly whenever she uses her basic skill to attack and heal at the same time neither Eimi dies
Michiru Dress. has skills that boost cost recovery and decrease ex skill cost and also skills that do healing (whereas Shiroko Swimsuit also helps with cost but lowers defense)

Miyo big sadge face: "...My only talent is crime."
Miyo: "So... How should I reveal that the protagonist has an incurable, tragic, crippling disease? How best to twist the knife?"
Miyo: "...You know, maybe I should confess all the Cartel's smuggling activities and get sent to prison. It could do wonders for my writing and focus."

Kei Kei: ... I get what you're saying, but you need to be realistic, Sensei. You only have one body. Do you know how many students there are in Kivotos? I bet you can't even handle Millennium, never mind all of Kivotos. What gives you the confidence to think that you can-
sensei: I promised you, Kei-Kei. Kei: I'm well aware! But for what REASON do you have to observe my class?! Sensei: I'm monitoring a student's academic achievements! It's one of my responsibilities as a teacher! Kei: You only use that argument when it suits you!

the thing about the children in Kivotos is they're not really "children" in the sense we understand children as existing in the real world. It's more like "child" is a type of species that people in this fantasy world can be, alongside "robot", "animal person", "eldritch god thing", etc., and their age is less an actual age so much as it is a stat on their D&D character sheet, like the exact height of a dwarf or something. And also it's a stat that's mutable, if they just so happen to take an age regression potion. But also they're children. So. I mean, like,

a follow up from user unfortunatesal which reads (in two separate reblogs): i like how eve is really good at hitting the ball really really hard and fast and then the pro golfers go "you fool, you can't win by hitting the ball really hard and fast" and then eve goes "you're right. i need to hit the ball even harder and faster" and then she does and she wins eve: "the world of golf is a cruel and unforgiving world... you either become the prey or the predator... golf is a painful sport of death and violence... every second you spend on the golf course will wear down your soul and turn you into an evil monster... every time i hit that golf ball, my humanity breaks more and more... and i know i will one day die of golf... there's no other way... i have been cursed to the horrible fate of golf..." aoi: "you're so hot babe do you wanna fill my holes" eve: "i see... golf can be beautiful too..."
tumblr post from me which says: "love it when the birdie wing girls play golf. eve the crime golfer hits the ball and goes mwahahahahah you're dead i've impaled you with my golf ball that is a literal gunshot. and aoi the bimbo prodigy golfer is like oh my gosh that super pretty golf woman is so good at golf that she made me cum. i want to kiss in golf with her. and then eve has to play a death game of golf against the golf crime ring to win the right to kiss in golf" tags: #yes this is the literal plot of the anime#birdie wing #eve #aoi amawashi #text post #yuri

Aris "It is because I changed my name!"
malkuth: "In birth, not even our names are ours to choose. This life you so desperately cling to... It is one filled with contradictions which demand pain from its participants. Yet you dare judge us for wishing to end this cycle of suffering. In a world where our names are not our own, such suffering is simply an inevitability."

To me, IFComp and related spaces are only possible because we have judges willing to spend time to play through these games and write comprehensive reviews on what works and what doesn't. This is a social activity that cannot be replicated by algorithms. But the rise of LLM slop threatens that harmony: we cannot extend our good faith and time into critiquing these games when there's so many of them. There's too much low quality crap and these LLM users don't care about this exercise; they just want to be treated the same like other artists who spent years honing their craft. They don't care about us, they care about them and only them. When the pro-LLM people bring up the valid concern of witch hunting, they are only thinking about themselves. I believe witch hunting only happens when the community cannot trust the organizers and the participants so much that they feel compelled to do this. At the moment, many members still care about the competition and are actively discussing these games. This is not exactly witch hunting behavior, but pro-LLM people probably don't realize this because they're not reading what people are saying about other games.

kei ex weapon unlocked. "Luminous Nova" "Kei's exclusive railgun. It's the perfect weapon for her as she finds her way in the world." Kei says: "It means... starlight from far away, to put it simply. Though, that may also signify time in the distant past. But they also say the past and future can coexist, depending on the coordinates."
me: I don't know. (response to "should I get into blue archive if I fuck with tactics rpgs heavy") in my opinion, it's a good tactics game, but also I am not super into tactics games. So, I may not be the best person to ask about this. Like, if you're the type of person who wants an especially deep tactics game like XCOM or Devil Survivor, you might be disappointed I will also say, like I think the style of real-time strategy that Blue Archive uses, a kind of medium ground between real time and turn based where you can slow down the battle to plan your moves, is really cool and unique (but again it may be that it's just ripping off another game that bigger nerds than me might say is better) but also, sometimes the tactics are really bullshit
