Another regular-ass day, though I think my mood is generally pretty ok. Part of that is because I don't really keep up with the news that much, though I am a little.

There's a like mini-event in Arknights right now that started today that I pretty much just cleared today. There's more coming in a few days but it's honestly a pretty simple event. The main gimmick is that there are side missions that give your operators buffs, but in order to maintain those buffs you have to "garrison" the ops used to clear the side mission in that node, making them unavailable in the main missions. This honestly kind of sounds like a bigger deal than it is, the main missions feature some tough enemies but they're mostly melee so it's not really that hard to deal with them. God I didn't even talk about the Dunmeshi event, it's alright but the mechanic is kind of whatever. It's sort of a fixed version of one of the like 5 mechanics from Hortus de Escapisimo, specifically the civvies. It doesn't really work at all like the civvies (your ops go hungry if you don't kill, like, slugs or whatever to feed them) but trust me they're effectively the same mechanic except one is actually designed.
