Saturnalia

I didn’t expect to update on Azur Lane so soon but i kind of had to. There is a rerun Sardegna Empire event and i absolutely had to participate. My current quest is, in fact, the Ruskies but it’s hard to ignore the Italian faction considering they’re kind of my fourth favorite dock, after the KMS, IJN, and SN. I actually cleaned up during the last Itai event a while ago, doubling the amount of ships i had in that dock. Aquilifer's Ballade went a long way to my overall Fleet health, giving me a ton of experience and blueprints to finish out my then developing Kraut dock. Plus, i mean, Roma is a thing and i needed to own her so, you know, in for a penny, in for a pound. I ended up added all six of those Aquilifer’s ships to my dock so there is incentive to continue. So far, i have eighteen of the twenty-five available Sardegna ships and i kind of feel like i should go for the rest? I mean, i missed one of the reruns, Empyreal Tragicomedy, so i don’t know how feasible that would be. But, at the same time, i did roll Pola, Zara, and Littorio on random Banners so, maybe? At the very least, i didn’t let this particular rerun of Daedalian Hymn pass me by.

Not gonna lie, this sh*t was costly. This Banner dipped into my pockets heavy. I did not have the Gacha touch this time around. I am a little perturbed about that but, i mean, i rolled all of the available ships. I was looking to pop Aquila, and kind of only Aquila, but she didn’t drop until, like, three days into the event. I had secured every other ship available at that point; Vittorio Veneto, Libeccio, Maestrale, and multiple Nicoloso da Recco, so i was kind of frustrated. I was down under a hundred Wisdom Cubes, something i never do, but finally, Aquila popped. It was bittersweet because i ran through, like, two hundred Cubes to make this happen. Torricelli and Duca degli Abruzzi were a given due to the fact they’re both basically Point awards but getting to those Banner girls was f*cked up. Like, I'm not mad but i am definitely disappointed. Sh*t taxed my pockets more than chasing literally every Ultra Rare ship i own, and the Itais don’t even have a goddamn UR ship to their name! The f*ck? All that said, Vittorio Veneto's costume, The Flower of La Spezia, is top tier cheesecake, man. Live 2D never looked so good!

It’s nuts to think i spent all those resources and time on the grind, for, at best, a tertiary priority. Right now, my focus is on my Northern Parliament dock because those boats are gorgeous. I love their look, with all of the ice and dragon-like artillery. They have a very Iron Blood feel to them and we all know how much i love my Krauts. That said, not much has changed with my current grind. I mean, i was able to get Chapayev and Sovetskya to level 120, with Avrora bringing up the rear at 119. Every ship in my dock, right now, is fully Limit Broken, and I'm slowly, but steadily, leveling up their skills. It’s been a while since I've had such a tall order to fill. It took, what? Two years or so to max out my KMS dock? I imagine it will take much less time to top off my SN Fleet, however. I mean, they have, like, a third of the Iron Blood ships. I already have nineteen of the twenty-three. Literally only missing the boats from Kronshtadt’s event, Abyssal Refrain, and that has yet to have a rerun so I'm feeling pretty good there. I was able to construct Chkalov and have been on the grind to get her completed but that leaves me at a loss. I've be grinding out Hakuryuu blueprints with every intention of Constructing her next but, now that I have such a strong stake in my Sardegna dock, maybe I should go for Marco Polo? I dunno. Something to ponder, I guess? Also, I'm missing Tashkent for some reason because i have the rest of the ships from her event. It’s whatever, though. She can be my Ruskie version of U-110; The ever illusive ship i missed that may or may not bless my dock through unforeseen circumstances. Wishing well, I'm looking at you!

It's the attempt that counts ^-^

[mex-sickos]

Oh god oh fuck I almost forgot to do the datamine uhhhhhhhhh

Vittorio Venneto: standard flagship; nice faction buff, snazzy aimed barrage (which buffs random enemy damage on failure) and a pretty nice self buff to boot, not like we didn’t know she was a pickup but she’s pretty important for anyone with pasta in their future

Aquila: first time I read thru her I thought she was poopybad cause she was a slow healer with double fighter, but going back through she’s pretty solid for pvp with a combo preload/selfbuff (while using dive bomber) a chance to air strike barrage and a self damage reduc, she’s poised to spice up pvp hard with a litty/vv/aqui setup (basically antifox but with not shit plane damage)

Duca degli Abruzzi (I will be referring to her as DDR): another pvp hitter I was ready to sleep on since she’s a torp CL, but her second skill might just make her a torp demon (mayhaps not up there with noshi and ayaya but cmon); with a torp barrage, two self buffs (one of which is pretty bad but it’s tacked onto the barrage but we take those) and another torp damage debuff on top of vvs it’s looking like pasta is manjuus answer to torpmeme/cv hell

None of the purples wow me so I won’t be really going over them separately, the sub is kinda bad, maelsta is a scuffed torp focused Suzu, niclosso has a weird anti cl revenge mechanic and Liberace is just plain boring, amagi-chan isn’t great but I didn’t expect much from a kid ship so meh

I foresee heavy pasta pvp potential with the aforementioned main setup and a pola/ddr/zara vg, although I won’t be able to test it since no litty zozzle. all in all good event intern kun

Gran Sasso: "Centenario al contrario" (luglio 2013)

Tornare subito al Gran Sasso per completare il "Centenario" era il mio obiettivo primario prima di partire per le vacanze alpine dell'estate 2013.

Certo era che non pensavo di completarlo come in pochi fanno cioè percorrendolo al contrario dunque iniziando subito con la salita per il Monte Camicia (mancato clamorosamente il mese precedente).

Con amici fidati quali Francesco ed Alberto avevamo tre giorni a disposizione per realizzare begli itinerari come la "Direttissima" al Corno Grande o le ferrate "Ricci" e "Danesi" al Corno Piccolo.

L'idea del "Centenario al contrario" fu casuale, non voluta e causata dai soliti problemi logistici: infatti con i rifugi Duca degli Abruzzi e Franchetti al completo, subito dopo aver terminato la "Direttissima" sulla vetta Occidentale del Gran Sasso (punto più alto con i suoi 2912 metri) fu scelto allora di andare in autostop a Fonte Vetica, pernottare al rifugio e l'indomani percorrere questo splendido trekking.

Svegliarsi all'alba e spararsi subito una salita con 1000 metri di dislivello (Fonte Vetica è a 1632, il Camicia è alto 2564) è da malati, specie se dopo devi farti altre 8 ore di sali e scendi in un percorso dove occorre stare in allerta per l'esposizione e per qualche punto attrezzato; merita particolare attenzione la discesa proprio dalla cima del Camicia fino a Vado di Ferruccio.

Superato questo punto siamo risaliti verso il Prena dal punto che il mese prima avevo ignorato poi superati i tratti attrezzati fra Torri di Casanova e Monte Infornace è stata una lunga ma appagante escursione in direzione Vado di Corno e Monte Aquila e verso una cena distruttiva al Duca degli Abruzzi (quella sera con posti disponibili).

Il giorno dopo fu effettuato un giro con le ferrate "Brizio", "Danesi" e "Ricci" ma quella è un'altra storia.

P.S. merita una considerazione il fattore acqua: portarsi una scorta di almeno 2 litri a testa.

Noi non lo facemmo...

LUOGO DI PARTENZA: Rifugio Forestale di Fonte Vetica

LUOGO DI ARRIVO: Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi

DIFFICOLTA': EEA (necessari imbrago, set da ferrata e caschetto)

DURATA: 10 ore circa fino a Vado di Corno, 1 ora in più poi per il Duca

Spazi sociali e cultura: dalle istituzioni il nulla. Resta solo l'autorganizzazione

A distanza di sei anni l'Amministrazione non è riuscita a fare NIENTE per riqualificare uno spazio come l'Asilo Occupato in via Duca degli Abruzzi, che grazie all'impegno e l'autorganizzazione di tant* attivist* ha colmato il vuoto cittadino di spazi pubblici per l'aggregazione.

In questi anni l'Asilo Occupato è diventato lo spazio in cui sono transitate migliaia di persone, avanguardia di sperimentazioni culturali, sede di laboratori artigianali ed artistici, serate di musica e danza dalla tecno al tango, cineforum che nel tempo hanno passato centinaia di film nella sala Monicelli, mostre frequentate e riconosciute anche a livello istituzionale.

L'asilo è una struttura enorme e difficile da gestire ma gli attivisti che lo hanno occupato ed autogestito sono riusciti a fare tutto questo da soli, nel freddo, senza un soldo pubblico.

Il palazzo è stato occupato nel gennaio 2011, perché era stato abbandonato nonostante avesse ben resistito al sisma del 2009. Grazie all'occupazione si è accesa l'attenzione sull'Asilo, il Comune ha promesso lavori di riqualificazione, utilizzando i fondi Meloni legati ai giovani. Gli occupanti non si sono mai opposti alla riqualificazione, ci mancherebbe, la auspichiamo tutti nel bene comune nostro e della città . Siamo infatti per la messa in sicurezza totale e reale dell'Aquila e di tutto il Paese. Solo che, arrivati al 2017, con un nuovo sciame sismico in corso, l'Amministrazione quei lavori non li ha mai neanche iniziati e l'Asilo si ritrova come al 6 aprile 2009, nell'impossibilità di svolgere le attività sociali e culturali che portate avanti fino al 18 gennaio e senza un luogo dove stare.

La città ha la stessa fame di spazi sociali di sempre, che il terremoto non può fermare, almeno che non si scelga di andar via e contribuire allo spopolamento del nostro territorio. Cosa che non possiamo accettare. Nella drammatica situazione di disgregazione sociale e di precarietà in cui viviamo, di spazi come l'Asilo o CaseMatte, questa città ne ha un grande bisogno e non può accettare di perderne neanche un metro

Chiediamo quindi all'amministrazione, che in questi sei anni non si è opposta all'occupazione, di trovare subito una soluzione a tutto questo, mettendo a disposizione spazi agibili per le attività ad oggi sospese.
