severe moth

see heres the trick with silver, he keeps doing this to be bullied more, which hes into
midnight sail
first off there is a 2 minute gap which isn't light speed like you claim; secondly i can appreciate complex character writing in a game that so often only touches surface level in terms of the archon quest lines
severe moth
i dont think the first reaction in that instance is "shes great, automatically the best" 
ANYWAYS THE GAYS

THAT MEANS NOTHING
I literally talk about her character beats in relation to the story after
There is no pudding
Because there is no proof
This is a witch hunt
severe moth
im sure saving furina is also a coincidence
surreal light
Just coincidental
midnight sail
Archons historically have very strong kits, I'm an abyss enjoyer
It's for the meta
midnight sail
im sure saving furina is also a coincidence
It's a gameplay decision
I'm being horribly misconstrued
Fraudulently misrepresented
surreal light
Idk this seems more then just a gameplay thing

also thinking about dirge overarching questline and i havent finished it but i think i like the first 2 questlines way less thinking back on it
midnight sail
also thinking about dirge overarching questline and i havent finished it but i t...
i forgor, there's a followup questline after Dirge of Bilqis - Apocalypse Lost as well
severe moth
no i know
hence why i said first 2 questlines
didnt do the 3rd one ig
but while the emotional stuff was nice idk the setting and set pieces get more uncomfortable the more i think about them
midnight sail
Uncomfortable?
severe moth
culturally
severe moth
maybe later its a little complicated and has a lot to do with genshins general portrayal of the desert and im like outside lol
midnight sail
ah, understandable
surreal light
The final parts made it feel worth it to get past the bottle…
midnight sail
i have so many problems with the bottle
severe moth
the bottle is like peak of it but like a lot of the rest of sumeru has the same problem as the bottle and just like with the bottle nobody seriouslu contends with it
would be my tldr;
and the dirge questline just highlights a lot of that
like we get the vague sense that mistreating the desert natives is bad and some adjustments based on that but they really wrote in systematic oppression of the desert folk and then never really tackled it
also that researcher from golden slumber should have been kicked in the teeth actually
instead of being helped
golden slumber and dirge just kick you in the teeth with the whole problem
also the eremite clothing designs were always questionable
theres like moments of Good Decisions with how they tackle certain themes and worldbuilding in the desert only to throw it all away with shit like the fucking bottle
the lore and ideas for the jinn are generally interesting and i like how it reflects actual irl mythos that theyre not deities but just a different type of beings, but then you had to make her a racist PoS and the most insulting bit is shes racist to the people who are based on the culture shes from like what the fuck
and like fine okay the bottle is a PoS but then no one really questions it? we can only object to her because jeht is out friend not because shes a racist PoS
its just handwaved away and its basically how most of the issues with the treatement of the desert folks are treated in sumeru's story
like the overarching story beats and themes are fine but the cultural implications are just bad snd get worse the more you think about them
@midnight sail there u go
sumeru is generally like that with its cultural inspiration i feel, where there are instances of Good Decisions and then they steamroll over them with just unfathomable choices, its like some of the writing and design teams did actual research on their respective sections and then the rest just perused wikipedia
surreal light
Yeah the bottle was genuinely having me stare at the dialogue for a good min in dumbfounded
It doesn’t help that at most you get to help small projects to help the desert folks communities but it just drops it there you don’t really know if there will actually reach meaningful change
It’s like all in the planning phase which I get realistically but I was hoping they would push that part a bit more past that
severe moth
i mean the main issue i have that theres clearly cultural issues at play and it got handwaved away after msq with the whole reveal of the truth with king deshret
and then they brought it back full force with the fucking researcher happily hiring desert natives to help loot their own cultural heritage
no one calls him out on this bit
not even the game
like hey hoyoverse this like happened irl and is still considered bad can we at least have token resistance to the behaviour
midnight sail
yeah hoyoverse takes a back seat and merely presents the issues rather than taking a very blatant stance on it
severe moth
i mean the problem with the researcher in particular is that he DOES get called out for being a dipshit
just not for the looting
like the game does take a stance on him being an asshole it just ignores the fact that hes there to plunder cultural heritage while being racist
midnight sail
they let the players decide that "hey this researcher is an asshole" and they let the players feel that "hey this bottle is a racist pos" but the traveler doesn't really make an outright move against any of it
severe moth
hes never confronted for the racism either just being an asshole
midnight sail
the researcher and jeht's mom also have the same last name so that's an added nugget
severe moth
oh i knew that from the beginning lol the moment they started talking about her
lol
spotted from a mile away
midnight sail
I didn't realize until way after
severe moth
like frankly a lot in the golden slumber could have been fixed if it was purely resolving issues between jebrael and samail and the traveler is just mostly in the bg
instead of helping the racist dipshit plunder the temples
the dilge is unfixable it needs a whole rewrite
i still dont understand why the bottle is mega racist
midnight sail
somethingsomething "ancient times were different"
the bottle is also freakishly evil beyond just the racism too
like comically evil
severe moth
but why does the jinni give a shit those were human politics
midnight sail
love and revenge I guess
severe moth
also i kind of looked up the general gist of the 3rd plot when i saw babel because i deadass started wondering if she was like of mixed heritage or something why is she so white with pink hair and dressed...like that 🤨
so i looked her up
which is why ive put off the 3rd questline because it sounds even less appealing, somehow
midnight sail
oh yeah
severe moth
anyways yeah like i said, i like the emotional beats but culturally its... uncomfortable
which is a shame
i was kinda looking forward to the desert and it just often disappoints lmao
midnight sail
emotionally/story wise it was interesting but making everyone twisted as they were was
a choice
obviously i cannot speak from a perspective of cultural familiarity but I found the bottle to be a completely loathsome one because of her conduct and language, but also one of the more complex/interesting characters despite the attitude because of her history/lore
not to where I can empathize or anything, but more just like "wow, this bottle is really fucked up, and not just in the racist sort of way"
which is kind of the conclusion of a lot of opinions on characters throughout Golden Slumber and Dirge
the extent of redeeming the wrongs done to the desert communities extended to loaning them library books and bringing aid into the desert (which we only hear about, not see), which is good, but what we as players experience through quests is multiple levels of fucked up which doesn't help the overall cultural perception, I suppose...
I guess it does lend itself to thinking about racism even within "singular cultures"
it also concerns me about how Hoyoverse will handle Natlan.
midnight sail
I guess we'll see
severe moth
its not a singular culture also, the desert and forest are considered culturaly distinct
same as inazuma had 2 culturally distinct groups
midnight sail
well I meant not between desert and forest, just desert within desert
severe moth
oh you mean the tribes?
severe moth
oh well, technically she is also from a different culture
midnight sail
true
severe moth
we just find her in the desert, even during the ancient civ days she was from a different socio economic status
and definitely distinct culturally from humans in general
midnight sail
The only nation without concerning levels of societal or cultural discord is Liyue, coincidentally
severe moth
wow wonder why that is
truly a mystery
i was about to say mond ig but they put in that whole old noble hardass throughline with eula lmfao
but i guess relatively speaking its small potatoes
midnight sail
that, and a concerning level of unemployed alcoholics
severe moth
mond is just a recreation of your average small town
its a normal level of unemployed alcoholics in that context
midnight sail
mond's supposed to be ultra vanilla I suppose
severe moth
cant insult someones culture if its bland as fuck so no culture is really referenced!
midnight sail
and Liyue's biggest problem is giant sea monsters and mythical beings causing problems, when Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine have very real human problems
midnight sail
true but largely an absent mythical being
severe moth
at least i dont have to worry about fontaine
they can insult the french /s
midnight sail
and through Kokomi's quest we can witness soldiers struggling with PTSD and there's the inter commission politics with Ayato, etc. even political power struggles during Raiden's 1st quest
after Osial and Beisht in Liyue, everyone goes back to living their normal industrious lives
severe moth
yeah and then ning kinda strangleholds the fatui a bit
lmao
zhongli most successful god he created the most stable nation state
midnight sail
Venti falls asleep for a thousand years and his nation has a problem with slavery in the meanwhile
severe moth
the extent of redeeming the wrongs done to the desert communities extended to lo...
also forgot but yeah basically - they write in serious systematic issues into the msq and then do nothing to address it
like if youre not gonna tackle it dont fucking write it in
at least in inazuma there was followup for the cultural discord and issues and some resolution
severe moth
in sumeru all you get is telling a bottle its mean for being racist towards your friend and only your friend
lmao
im still not over the jinni being that racist to the people based on the very culture they took jinn from
like what was the logic there
also like the tanit have the little side blip of the providing more education thing clearly not really being enough!!!
because the tanit dont need more fucking education
they had their own
and i am still so annoyed at using that one woman's own guilt about not helping her home in the msq
and then we just
do nothing with that
besides the token "oh there is totally help"
we literally gaslit her and then just said lmao okay figure it out yourself
i just wish they didnt write this all in because at least then it wouldnt be so insulting
midnight sail
im still not over the jinni being that racist to the people based on the very cu...
i think it's because she's vengeful against them
severe moth
i mean yes but i mean, culturally
i understand there is in universe justification
but that justification is made up by the writers
who decided to write it that
way
thats what im questioning
severe moth
yeah but what im getting at is they did not have to write that at all
midnight sail
ah
I guess there are better ways of expressing distaste than blatant racism.
which is a "well yeah duh" but
¯_(ツ)_/¯
it's an interesting choice
I didn't really consider the cultural connotations of it all
severe moth
its one of the reasons i didnt play sumeru for so long is because i was looking at the trailers and reveals and could feel like the cultural disaster lol
severe moth
I guess there are better ways of expressing distaste than blatant racism.
i mean also in general its a spiral of choices, they chose for the jinn lore to be like that, and then in turn chose for the jinn to express herself like that
which like, frankly most of the jinn lore wasn't too bad, if still under researched
surreal light
It was defo poorly thought out. And for me at least was like this huge hit in a string of world quests I was loving a lot
surreal light
thankfully fontaine's world quest kind of picked back up the pace

I'm sure the rent will be more managable as well surely 
midnight sail
i dunno, last time Kaveh had the opportunity to move out, his money magically got donated to charity instead
severe moth
especially in a place that appreciates the arts more
i mean "should" doesnt mean he will KHKH
oh im in an alhaitham path and holy shit the pining is dire

any more and he will just be confessing on the spot

this has turned into a date and im third wheeling

man thinking on it, all the desert questlines would be so much better if it was mostly focused on reconstruction and aid - desert folks helping themselves and their communities
this might be the best hangout ive done

You see that was were I thought some smaller quest lines would have picked up after the archon quest but alas I’m a fool
severe moth
honk honk were both clowns hoyoverse picked racism instead 😭
and like helping find a jinni to bring back some agricultural areas would have also been a great idea if the focus was all that and the jinni wasnt racist as shit
severe moth
realised i should probably warn someone i talk to that the dirge questline can be Like That

and the khvarena one is also good culturally
why is dirge Like That
?????????
midnight sail
khvarena of good and evil good quest
good quest
midnight sail
and the khvarena one is also good culturally
can u explain because I liked the quest but I have no cultural context
severe moth
it doesnt have the racist bottle
midnight sail
well other than that
severe moth
its nothing AS concrete but it has general ideas, names, and intentions that are IMO integrated fairly well into the general worldbuilding of genshin
and the general themes tie back to not judging history by the myths and biases we have today - which i think was the overall lesson in the main story quest of sumeru
its not a concrete "thats some GOOD representation" but it at least felt cohesive and while the cultural touchstones were relatively light, its better than the alternative i think lmao
it has a lot of persian cultural stuff in it for reference
Simurgh is an actual mythical bird in persian mythology
Pari is a persian name
Vourukasha along with several other overarching ideas and themes is derived from Zoroastrian mythology
in fact looking again its so cohesive culturally im kind of surprised - theres a lot of shit in sumeru that feels a little...mish mashed culturally in a cringe and insensitive way
coughdoricough
midnight sail
yeah dori was...really bad

interesting
I know some of the Khaenri'ah lore has some persian mythology attached to it iirc for that region

you can probably go name by name in the khvarena questline lore and get hits that are not genshin lol
Khvarenah itself is a Zoroastrian concept

u never have to charge it up cuz ur only using it after skill or ult when there's droplets
lime zinc
is Charlotte gonna be on furina banner?
midnight sail
allegedly but that almost seems too good to be true
surreal light
u never have to charge it up cuz ur only using it after skill or ult when there'...
Yeah I do like it doesn't burn stamina to use it once you set it up
idk I'm like on the fridges cause I wanna but also want Furnia and Carlotte and I'm not sure if I'm missing out or not just not getting big beam blast
lime zinc
probably save for furina if ur not too fussed on neuv
lime zinc
allegedly but that almost seems too good to be true
is she the only other 4 star for fontaine we know about?
clorinde navia evil eula furina and such all 5 stars
surreal light
probably save for furina if ur not too fussed on neuv
My mental cope is hydro traveller I guess 
hazy fiber
is she the only other 4 star for fontaine we know about?
Siegwinne miight be 4 star idk
lime zinc
oh yeah her I thought she looked like a playable character
it's funny how u can just tell if a character will be playable or not from how they look
surreal light
<:PAIN:1137454903921496184>
I have her set with artifacts and intend to build up her talent levels
water gun 
lime zinc
comparing hydro travellers water gun to neuvs
hazy fiber
Water gun at kirara if she misbehaves
lime zinc
surreal light
listen
She can stand there take the hits
and make the enemies slightly wet by shooting back

Sigewinne and then there is a leak for a girl named Chevreuse

I wonder when the next good 4 star will be 
hazy fiber
Lynette has her spot
Actually really good in aggravate
The usual suspects for anemo dont trigger it like lynette does
Faruzan is good
surreal light
I wonder when the next good 4 star will be <:SLUDGE:1108532989824086066>
Is charlotte not looking good 
midnight sail
Actually really good in aggravate
Shouldn't sucrose be better because of her team EM share?
Charlotte looks good
hazy fiber
I think u reach a point of uhh reduced returns
midnight sail
And her kit looks good
midnight sail
I think u reach a point of uhh reduced returns
Isn't the EM still better vs Lynette attack bonus
hazy fiber
Its not the atk bonus
midnight sail
I actually don't know
hazy fiber
Its the turret bit
That fires out electro
Is why one of her best spots is aggravate
midnight sail
Sucrose burst does the same
hazy fiber
A lot slower tho aint it
hazy fiber
Ur gonna miss out on so much
This point still stands
midnight sail
At low cons probably both work but I think C6 sucrose is better
hazy fiber
I mean lets be real no ones gonna power creep most of the OG 4 stars
Sucrose benny xl fischl xq
midnight sail
True
lime zinc
Lynette has her spot
she's like the worst anemo character
just sucks that most 4 stars are just like bad
every 5 star not dehya they make viable at minimum but 4 stars are just purposefully made trash
that's gacha I guess
I wonder if they intended for the 1.0 4 stars to be made so good
inazuma 4 stars were all pretty good albeit niche
sumeru ones just sucked
other than yao
and faruzan
lime zinc
it's moreso that like they make them good but u need c6
lime zinc
and at c0 they only have half the kit
lynette and hydro traveller the worst offenders
they just made them so they can say they gave u both the ousia and pneuma
hazy fiber
they're OK but they just make 4 stars worse and worse over time
Its an issue that happens in eternal formats in card games. The oldest cards are the most busted
Which is why i dont get why u would spike in this game bc it seems the most solved ever
lime zinc
they can make good viable characters
they do with every 5 star
without power creep
just the 4 stars they've been making progressively worse
lime zinc
yeah hes good and viable
hazy fiber
Ye so are the rest of the cast
lime zinc
freminet, lynette, half of the sumeru 4 stars are just completely useless with 0 niches
hazy fiber
Layla has a niche. strong Shield + cryo application
If infusion was better candace would be good
surreal light
Is freminet not good enough? I've seen him have decent physical output at c0
hazy fiber
And cryo even ive heard
I havent found a character thats useless to me yet that I wanted to play
lime zinc
hes a 4 star on field carry so its inevitable he just won't be as good which is understandable ig but supports they've shown they can make strong viable supports at 4 star without power creep
surreal light
I guess I don't really understand what a good on field is then
hazy fiber
Abyss is also a tiny bit of genshin
lime zinc
the 2.x 4 stars were all like strong but very niche or tailored to specific characters, the 3.x ones were half useless dori, kaveh, candace
hazy fiber
That u dont need to hyperfocus on
lime zinc
I know but I still want characters to be good
half the 4 stars get dehya treatment just no one cares cuz it's 4 stars
surreal light
Abyss feels like the only space I get to really use some of my characters with a challenge
cause overworld bosses feel like they force you to pick a specific
surreal light
I mean the new system is just that
As in the penoum and osiaaiai
i can't remember their names for the life of me
surreal light
I feel like they wanted to with combat but it fell flat
Not much depth or desire to use the system cause of impact and feel
surreal light
so I'm hearing the go sign to keep the chongyun dps and hydro traveller
hazy fiber
If i didnt have furina to prep for id consider investing on hydro trav
Unfortunately off field pyro is quite rare atm
Outside xiangling, dehya is std banner so unreliable
Bennies is kinda weak pyro app
surreal light
I really want dehya cause yeah the pyro units I have are a bit lacking
its really just hu tao, klee, and yoi yoi atm
all fun but dehya brings a style I think I wanted to test and utilize
hazy fiber
Pyro wise i think yoimiya is my only decently built unit
Lyney i think is still 70
At least he can just take yoimiyas artifacts bc bolide
lime zinc
I quite like thoma now
I never realised how many of the pyro characters are like on field carries there's not many supports
maybe evil eula will be good off field pyro
hazy fiber
Yeah i was hoping lyney was going to be off field
midnight sail
I quite like thoma now
Thoma is a staple on some of my abyss teams, I'm just waiting for his C6 
He's my shielder for Hu Tao double hydro
surreal light
If not for the line up core i use I would consider a shielder if I ever needed to bring in hu tao
well one of my cores
surreal light
Hey at least you arn't leaning to much on zhongli shielding
then your sprint skills will erode
get it cause just like zhongli's memory eroding your memory of evading is eroding

I found an ai generated leak post its so off 
Genshin Impact version 4.4 will introduce Madame Ping, Xiao, Ganyu, and Shenhe as new banner characters, providing players with fresh content to explore.
severe moth
LOL
surreal light
Aloy
lime zinc
true
other than her I think its maybe shenhe
super niche 5 star, only a small amount of story appearances and event appearances
for 4 stars I think chongyun even tho hes a 1.0 one
or maybe sayu
surreal light
Sayu has her hangout
same with chongyun
and they were the better ones I feel
for my maybe Yunjin but I'd have to think on it more
severe moth
yunjin isnt purely on the basis of the opera i think
tbh idk if theres anyone particularly forgettable from the cast besides aloy
lime zinc
yeah everyone has at least some focus in quests now
I have aloy built ill never forget her
severe moth

i wish they did more stuff with her but i dont think they like character collabs in genshin at alllll
lime zinc
she never even appeared in any event right
like at the time they gave her free even
just sent in mail and that's it
it was 2 years ago she came out??
I've been playing genshin too long
severe moth
just sent in mail and that's it

surreal light
We all have been playing for to long
severe moth
i played first week of launch so
i nolifed it for like 2 weeks lol
on the plus side ive never really had to catch up on leveling my characters to just do story since
so i could log on without much commitment all these years
surreal light
Yeah I downloaded it on the first night
alas it was my worst choice while also starting uni but I have learned and had many switch ups so that will never happen again
severe moth
LOL
lime zinc
my ex got me into genshin like 2 weeks after release and was like yeah u should reroll for venti so I tried for a week reroll 30 times and didn't get him so I basically started at klee banner

are u gonna go for her sig weapon as well
I'm between C2 or sig weapon
I have a few options if I don't get her sig weapon
Festering Desire, pipe sword, the new hp% sword, etc.
But sig weapon is so pretty
lime zinc
I wanna go for her weapon but idk if I'd use baizhus weapon for anything
maybe it's good for neuv
I probably shouldn't go for it since I don't have enough to guarantee
midnight sail
