You guys use fake fleets?!

Wait...you guys have fleets?! My homeworld blew up...all I got is 2 Starholds with like six defense platforms on each...and a Mushroom ally with only Amoeba ships...JFC...no wonder I'm getting pilloried out here...But I have just researched Cruisers and habitats...so...oh yes...we be buying carrier cruisers with energy baby!!!! Now whose the big boy, that's right it'll be me, you Chelonian bastards!!!!
 
The AI is...horrible at judging it's readiness to do anything.... Admittedly the Sporopol is a Beastmaster AI empire whose fleets are...extra doodoo...BUT STILL BY ALL ALGORITHMIC MATH THEY SHOULD BE WANTING TO FIGHT THE THING...Hell I fought the the thing and soloed the fools....GAAAAHHHH!!!! AND I'M PLAYING DOOMSDAY SO I HAVE DOODOO TECH/WEAPONS/EVERYTHING! WE HAVE A DEFENSE PACT YOU BUTT!!!View attachment 1288878

AI ally: There is no kill, unless it's over kill
 
Another one that I found on Reddit. It's getting repetitive saying this in half of the memes I post but I don't like stealing credit.

I would go Anime, at least those are human made. ^^
...If the choice was between those two options, that might be the one and only time I consider AI art. I don't even dislike anime art styles, but those gacha-game style character designs would constitute a serious and urgent threat to my ocular health.

What's the difference between gacha-game style and Anime style?
Or better what exactly is gacha-game style?

Well, it's less an art style and more a design philosophy. (Gacha game characters need to reliably sell, so they tend to have identical conventionally attractive bodies and faces. They need to stand out despite this, so they often have elaborate or nonsensical costumes. They have to be able to appeal to buyers in a single image, so theres no room for subtlety. And a lot of them are made, so most of them inevitably end up a bit repetitive.)

Not restricted to gacha games, and not all gacha game designs, but I definitely associate that style with them.

Yeah, the non sensible outfits I also don't really like.

But I do like my species to be really attractive.
I do need to stare at them all game long, reason why I don't really like the Blorg. XD

Ah yes, fleeing a planet under the control of a Devouring Swarm right into a planet controlled by the very same Devouring Swarm. They'll never see it coming.
