Context: Blue Archive used to have a 200-pull spark system, but it is now changed to a Hoyo-style 50/50 pity system.
100 pulls now gives you a 50% chance to get the featured 3-star character. If you lose the 50/50, you are guaranteed the featured character at 200 pulls. The issue is that pity resets to 0 once you get any of the featured characters from any other banner. So if you got the student at 190 pulls, you cannot use the 190 pulls to spark another character because it gets set to 0. This change is only good for pulling a single character from a banner, but it is very bad if you want to pull multiple characters in a banner.

TL;DR:
I don’t play Blue Archive, so it took me a bit to understand. Closest approximation I personally have is the spark system from Fire Emblem Heroes. So yeah, I can totally get how frustrating it would be having your spark points set back to 0 if you get a featured character via pure luck.
It's not even a functional platform, I don't get why people are still clinging to it.
Same reason people still use Youtube and Windows, buy overpriced and underpowered Nvidia GPUs , and wade through increasingly enshittified streaming and commerce sites; it's easier to put up than move out.
You dumb fucks think those platforms won't bend the knee either? Also, there's plenty of people detracting that "nazi platform's" owner and not being banned. Unlike Blueskys where you can be banned for not putting pronouns in your bio.
Why would pixiv bend the knee? Its a Japanese platform dude.

Which means art there must comply with Japanese censorship laws. And if a company starts enforcing their own no-lewds rule on fanart, as Cygames does with Umamusume and Khara with Evangelion, then Pixiv will comply. Ultimately, you would be trading one flavor of censorship for another.
I think this line is a meme from a period drama like the 5th republic or the battle of huaihuai ones, but I'm not familiar enough with bilibili memes to identify which one this one is from.
@Dakkan Bro, this artist suddenly deleted almost all of their works and accounts. Do you know the reason?
@fkthisworld Not a clue, unfortunately. I only followed them on pixiv, so I didn't really get to see any personal update/message posts. I only really noticed that they stopped posting as regularly, and until now when you messaged I didn't even realize that they had deleted their profiles.
Hey, 4 years later. This, in 22 ARC with the new high pressure case technology. I think OP was onto something here... You'd need a serious can for that muzzle blast though. It's even a 25 round magazine, just lengthen it bit to compensate for the overall length of ARC.
Also you should know better than to presume knowing how others "outside the US" feel, because when that happened, we were all shocked. Class that day was cancelled and we just talked about the attack for the rest of the day. You don't need to be American to be horrified by such an event.
To be honest, it depends on where are you from. In ex-USSR countries (at least Ukraine and Russia, from personal experience) quite a few people were actually not sad at all. Mostly older folks who grew up during the Cold War. I was a freshman at university at the time and no classes were canceled, our professor just told us what happened and proceeded to lecture.
I know no one outside the US cares about that event, but I would hope at least that much to be understandable.
As much as we like to joke about it, I imagine most people outside of the US can still appreciate the importance of 911, and that is was an attack not only against the US, but West as a whole. Similar to the Trump assassination, if it can happen in the US, it can happen anywhere. Which is why foreign politicians were so quick to condemn it.
