[golden sluice]

wait

is he playable throughtout

the entire story

?

wait

a switch mode like Majima and Kiryu back in Yakuza 0?

[slender haven]

No it's his backstory of how he entered the Tojo clan

[golden sluice]

ohhhh okay yeah

cz there's also Majima's part in YK2

[slender haven]

A separate mode
Like what Majima got in Yakuza 2 Kiwami

[golden sluice]

yeah

god that part

made my heart break

especially when I heard that song

[slender haven]

Yeah

[golden sluice]

what do you think about Yakuza 6's plot twist?

||the boat||

[slender haven]

...I haven't played Yakuza 6 yet

[golden sluice]

then don't

open

the spoiler

🥀

😭

mb

[slender haven]

Damn

[golden sluice]

it's good that I censored it

please tell me u didn't open it

[slender haven]

I already kinda know the plot
But Yakuza story lines have a bizarre quality that they're nearly impossible to understand unless you actually play them

[golden sluice]

true

I'm not gonna lie

as much as I love Yakuza

some of the stories and plot twists

are dogshit

[slender haven]

Rubber bullets

[golden sluice]

LMAO BRO

DONT REMIND ME

THAT SHIT WAS SO WACK HOLY FUCK

[slender haven]

The funny thing is that Saejima goes back to jail literally the next game

[golden sluice]

why did he go back to prison again

[slender haven]

I don't even remember what he went to jail there for

[golden sluice]

I forgot Yakuza's 5 plot

[slender haven]

He turned himself in for something

[golden sluice]

I remember it being so messy

so you stopped at Yakuza 5?

[slender haven]

Uhhh
Tbh I haven't played most of them
But I know the plots of most

[golden sluice]

huh

u didn't play them in order?

[slender haven]

I started with Yakuza 0

But I get burnt out on games easily
So I finish one and then a play a bunch of other games for a bit

[golden sluice]

oh I see

which ones did u play then

[slender haven]

Don't mock me but
Yakuza 0
Both Judgement games
And Isshin

[golden sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-speed-stream-ishowspeed-stream-speed-nod-gif-1082323842437565509

so

are you planning to play Kiwami 1 next

[slender haven]

Yeah

Or maybe Like a Dragon

[golden sluice]

you mean Yakuza 7?

[slender haven]

Since it's kinda separate from the rest of the series sorta

[slender haven]

Yeah

[golden sluice]

no fuck no please

I beg of you do not do it

[slender haven]

Ok

[golden sluice]

Yakuza 7 will not hit the same

if you don't play the rest first

like

I can't tell u since u didn't play

but believe me there's so many parts that are going to hit harder if u play the rest first

[slender haven]

Yeah
I just want to play the JRPG stuff though

[golden sluice]

and whoever told you it's not connected to the rest is lying to you

[golden sluice]

everyone who wants to skip to YK7 always has the same reason

ngl I don't like JRPGs and turn based games but

YK7 changed something in me

it's so peak

[slender haven]

I don't dislike them
But I don't seek them out

[golden sluice]

even storywise

I don't like them ngl

also

out of 10 how much would you rate Yakuza 0's story?

[slender haven]

9 probably

[golden sluice]

for me Yakuza 0's story was a masterpiece and I give it a 10/10

but Yakuza 7?

11/10

honestly its story is good

so unbelievably good

[slender haven]

Yeah

[golden sluice]

it's a pity that you get burned out fast

[slender haven]

I try to do all the side content so that stretches out the game a lot

[golden sluice]

you're just like my friends I've been begging to finish the other Yakuza games for like 5 years now

[golden sluice]

ah fair enough

Yakuza's side content is good

so understandable

[slender haven]

Yeah I try to do all the side quests at least

[golden sluice]

same

there's not a Yakuza game I played that I didn't 100%

did u beat the secret bosses in Yakuza 0?

[slender haven]

Yeah I did

[golden sluice]

finally someone who did

[slender haven]

The Amon bosses in the Judgement games sucked though
Lost Judgement especially

Actually gave me a headache

[golden sluice]

wait until you fight him in Y7

that was the most bs Amon boss I've fought

[slender haven]

Damn

[surreal dome]

[craggy mist]

thats sneggy?

[surreal dome]

Its hard to believe

That

Lore have any implication anymore

With gameplay

Because flins isnt even electro

True

[random grove]

Her birthday is going to be December 25th yesssss

[craggy mist]

when is playable santa?

even better

you want rerir playable right? santa is your antagonist in!

well they already did durin

he's got a sicko mode

https://tenor.com/view/durin-genshin-durin-dragon-gif-16692086437089965436

he's 5% bakunawa

[slender haven]

We also don't have any cryo characters for Nod-Krai so far so she'll probably fulfill that quota

Natlan also got like fucking 4 cryo characters so they had to let up a little for Nod-Krai
The nation of Pyro only had one pyro character btw

Nod-Krai already has more pyro characters than Natlan lol
Durin, Lohen, and Nicole

And also Rerir

Yeah

Not confirmed
But I'm pretty sure his name literally means "blazing"

So like

Leaks are saying Varka will be good with pyro though

Btw since the BSK/Roland is appearing in 6.4 what kinda model do you think he's getting?

Please have a playable model 😭

Reskinned boss is also possible

She became a monster at that point

She was the insane one atp

He killed everyone equally

Equal opputunity hater

He only killed monsters, literally confirmed by the story

https://tenor.com/view/artorias-knight-dark-souls-dark-souls-gif-8576514

Please look like this

Gael is Pierro, duh

I mean Pierro will probably be a boss

Well he became loyal to the Abyss which is bad

Yeah

Gwyn had more aura though

Plin plin plon is legendary

Cause they thought PO would be useful against the Abyss

It took 40 years for them to beat the Sovereigns

Nicole was wrong
The new artifacts don't mention strength at all

PO + 4 Shades + stolen authorities

The stolen authorities probably gave PO a major boost

She literally says he memory is flawed

She's a yapper but has no substance

Then what were the Shades doing?

He just wanted to go on space vacation
Every Sinner could beat 1HP PO

I trust in the artifacts

Yeah

Sure but they lost most of their power after fighting Nibelung
That's why they became comatose after Cataclysm

They're like the Soul King from Bleach rn

Not really
They needed Saarelainen as a crutch to support their order

Explicitly

Beat who later?

Nah

They wouldn't have conquered the dragons then

If they just wanted humanity

They're a robot they can't

Maybe
But all the Shades are nicer than PO

PO punished Ronova for helping

I also think there's something fishy about the Shades' creation

There's something up there

Then why would they make Paimon?

Then their sympathy being so small and weak could reflect how little of it they actually had

Btw I've been thinking, what if Koitar was the "Shade of Reason" and not Phanes, who is instead all 5.
She was the queen of all angels (The Shades look a lot like Angels too) and Hymns calls her Phanes' first daughter

Also it would make sense because Hroptatyr wasn't the ruler of Khaenri'ah but Irmin was.

So Irmin would be the PO equivalent while Hroptatyr is Koitar's equivalent

And Paimon is Dainsleif's equivalent I guess

Nicole:

Zibai:

I think those were helmets they they wore not actual horns

In the murals I mean

Plus the Shades were higher beings
So it would make sense if they looked different

Yeah but they didn't look like the mural horns

And you said I was wrong for saying that Abyssbelung not being colored black was just a stylistic choice

Yeah and the Shades would look entirely different since they're higher angels

It was probably the first dragon the Hyperboreans saw lol

We don't even know who that is
They could have come in after all the Hyperboreans left

They don't use any black even when it's depicting the Abyss though

When the Moons are killed they don't depict Iridescendent getting corrupted by Abyss

Where can I find all the murals again?

Here

Iridescent doesn't have any abyss around her

They didn't depict that though

Hmmm
But they would know she sunk into the Abyss though

And they still only used gold and white

If it was uncorrupted Nibelung his eyes would be blue

His eyes were blue

More grey but yeah

I win another meaningless internet argument
Hell yeah

She willingly took it to try and prolong her life

But got tortured by it instead

Nibelung brought it since it was using his body as a nesting ground

No he just always looked like that
The mural says he "sunk into the Abyss"

A healthy person described as pitiful?

No it was after he burned the ley lines

He was completely destroyed after fighting Phanes

Kukulkan says so

No

After he imprisoned them

So Nibelung arrived corrupted any maddened by Abyss
Phanes saw and was too scared to start fight
Nibelung tries to get help from Moons but they're hesistant so he takes them prisoner
They war for a bit, awakening Xiuhcoatl and burning the ley lines
One final fight, Moons are shattered and corrupted Nibelung killed

Fractured Halo says he returned corrupted

And the Hymns say he encountered the Abyss in space

Yeah so he always had the Abyss

Flashback doesn't mention a fight

Just that he burned Natlan

I feel like they died around the same time

No

It was in their final fight

How do you know

She didn't give the full story cause they were on a timer

Nicole only gave an abridged version

And Hyperboreans aren't in Natlan so they wouldn't have seen

Nibelung only burned the ley lines in Natlan

So Hyperborea (in Sneznahya) would accordingly not make a mural since they would not have knowledge from Natlan

They did

Nicole literally says they became feared by all

It lasted an entire year
Nibelung would have gathered some of his forces first

Idk

He awakened Xiuhcoatl and Apep

Yeah

He took the Moons

But they still became feared by all

The Moons being destroyed also destroyed a bunch of civilizations

Yeah they helped maintain fate after all

And maybe helped maintain the ley lines

In the final fight yeah

How Nibelung reacted to the Moons dying

https://tenor.com/view/omniman-make-another-kid-start-again-gif-24341713

[slender haven]

This was it

Mark is the Frostmoon in this case

And Aria is Debbie idk

Omni Man only has two kids

Sure

I was thinking Sinister Mark

Yeah but he Aria wanted to side with The HP and Sinister went against his dad so it kinda fits

[golden sluice]

@slender haven arguing with someone on twitter rn cz I said in a Fatui page I'm certain Capitano is coming back NK ends and they replied with "This is the most brain-dead take I have ever seen because there's no reason for him to ever get up"

[golden sluice]

was one of their arguments was deadass he can only go back a day because Ronova gave a day to Xbalanque

and when I said what does Capitano have to do with that they said I selectively read through Mavuika's sq

like??

and one of the people arguing against me had "Signora's agenda spreader" as a username 😭

look 😭

real shit like

we're supposed to be coping together??

[tawdry gate]

Can people help me with miliastra codes? I just need three people to get the last 300 points to fully maximize my bar

[slender haven]

What people think Capitano meant when he literally declared war on them at the end of Natlan:

[slender haven]

Ofc it's a Signora fan
It's always a Signora fan

It will always be a Signora fan

[golden sluice]

like fr I don't get it

I love Signora too

why are you comping for Capitano "cope" when Signora's cope is way worse

[slender haven]

It's cause they know Signora isn't coming back when Capitano is

[golden sluice]

😭

that's what I thought too

winter night lazio part 2 soon? 🙏

[slender haven]

They always have those pfps of random fucking women too lmao
They do not look like that irl

[golden sluice]

im genuinely tired of these people bro

[slender haven]

That was the Shade Lazzo, Pierro mogged the Shades just by looking at them

[golden sluice]

idk how they can say that when Capitano literally has some jesus inspirations

[slender haven]

It began as Shade then he stole the show from them 😭

[golden sluice]

oh yeah

but I'm hoping another one happens like

it's about time

[golden sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/pierro-genshin-impact-gif-13089343381113922886

ts so cool

[slender haven]

I hope we get a Sinner Lazzo

Revealing all their designs fully

Then end it with Capitano getting up

Or something

[golden sluice]

sinner lazzo would be nice too, I want to see Hroptatyr

[slender haven]

Vedrfolnir too

[golden sluice]

yeah I'm mostly hyped about Hroptatyr tho cz we have nothing about him

ifkr, Capitano has the most ressurection hints since the start of the game

Vedrfolnir and Hroptatyr and maybe Surtalogi's playable form?

it would be quite a waste to not make him playable

there's a market for him

are you saying his signature might be the 3rd part

true

tho I'm seeing some controversy about it lately

I was thinking lately and what if Snegurochka is Snezhnaya's Ineffa

she must be relevant in Snezhnaya's story next year

yeah

yeah I know but there's no 5* in 6.8 it seems

something about the brother of the mc flirting with her

no no it's not a leak

I'm going off the number

of 5*s

in Natlan

nahhh there's no leak about it

tbf he's a standard soooo

@ashen ocean @slender haven my god bro

[slender haven]

I just feel hatred looking at this
But I'm currently arguing with a Dottore fan rn too lol

[slender haven]

I doubt it

Surtalogi's human form

[golden sluice]

I'm a Dottore fan bro 😔

what's the argument about

[slender haven]

I know
But this guy is annoying

[slender haven]

The guy saying that Dottore is singlehandedly carrying the Fatui despite betraying them and that he no diffs Pierro

[golden sluice]

I mean I do too but that means they increase the numbers of 5*s over Natlan

[slender haven]

The last time we got a X.8 without a five star was 2.8 iirc

[golden sluice]

he didn't betray them tho, at least not confirmed yet, I do think a lot of people are underestimating Pantalone and Pierro contributions to the Fatui

[slender haven]

Yeah

[golden sluice]

and ngl a lot of people forgot how goated was Tartaglia before

[slender haven]

He betrayed the Tsaritsa's orders

[golden sluice]

yeah but I wouldn't say he betrayed the Fatui

we don't have the full story at least

[slender haven]

He was ordered to leave Nod-Krai

And didn't

I'll wait till 6.3

[golden sluice]

true, but that means they increase the number of 5*s again when they did that in Natlan

[golden sluice]

same

[slender haven]

Hmmm
I don't know, it just doesn't feel right for there to be no five star

[golden sluice]

true

we'll see

they're probably

increasing the number of 5*s again

12 5stars and 5 4stars

[slender haven]

So 6.4 Varka and Lohen
6.5 Snegurochka
6.6 Nicole
6.7 Sandrone
6.8 ????

[golden sluice]

yeah

[slender haven]

If Lohen is a 4 star it could be the same

[golden sluice]

yeah

but no leaker said he's a 4*

or refuted he's a standard 5*

if Rerir's weekly boss is in 6.7

[slender haven]

Yeah

[golden sluice]

what are the chances he gets Scaramouche treatment in 6.8

[slender haven]

I'm not sure
Like 25% I want to say

She's getting throned

[golden sluice]

@slender haven @ashen ocean

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-reaction-reactions-meme-gif-8141100727479891642

why do they keep bringing up Xbalanque and Ronova

why

yeah nvm

[slender haven]

Reminds me of that one guy who said Expedition 33 was Israeli because it kept winning awards 😭

[golden sluice]

I'm falling for it hard

oh shit I said the r word

🥀

[golden sluice]

it became a trend using recently

you don't like something? call it spiritually israeli

[slender haven]

Or just Jewish

It's like Timmy Turner's dad blaming everything in Dinkleburg

[golden sluice]

yea

[golden sluice]

😭

honestly

I do like seeing those jokes they're funny but some people are actually convinced of it

[slender haven]

Didn't Xbalanque say his resurrection gift would be permanent too?

[golden sluice]

I want to block them but they'll just call me a coward or smthn

nah

they called me that word firdt

[golden sluice]

he did?

thought it meant

the uses of it

is infinite

[slender haven]

Yeah I think so

[slender haven]

Or he just said "resurrect anyone you want"
He didn't clarify

[golden sluice]

yeah imma stop there

huh

should've done that

I'm so pressed I keep insulting back

[slender haven]

In his chair's description 😔
But it's not like descriptions haven't lied before plus Cap could get a new body

Not Dottore

Himself

Probably some teenage girl

Nah
It's a girl

[golden sluice]

@slender haven @ashen ocean

@ashen ocean

[slender haven]

So the Traveler is getting chopped up too

Hell yeah

[golden sluice]

fuck yeah

and STAY dead bro

[slender haven]

And I guess Dottore is Pakkaisukko in this case

[golden sluice]

who's the daughter

ok ok

[golden sluice]

@slender haven

[slender haven]

Columbina I guess

[golden sluice]

Dottore getting corrupted by the abyss in the end

or hibernates

[slender haven]

I gotta confess. I'm more excited for 6.4 than 6.3 at this point.
Varka playable, Bloodstained Knight, Dornman's Port and Arcadia. It's going to be so good.

[golden sluice]

yeah Varka being playable is hype but the bloodstained knight is the best thing in 6.4 for me

but Dottore in 6.3 so that's enough to make the next patch better for me

[slender haven]

Well they're go to fight apparently so we'll both be satisfied

[slender haven]

Honestly I just can't bring myself to be excited about Dottore -_-
I think I just liked Rerir more

[golden sluice]

I mean I love Varka

I just never expected we'd ever see the bloodstained knight

[golden sluice]

why

[slender haven]

I thought he may appear in Khaenri'ah as an Easter egg or something but I didn't' expect him to appear in Mondstadt

[golden sluice]

same, I wonder if someone can recognize him

[slender haven]

I just want Capitano back so much that it sours my view of the other Harbingers
It's petty I know but I can't help it

[slender haven]

I could see Varka knowing him

Or of him I mean

Boreas too

[golden sluice]

fairs, I still love all the harbingers but tbh if Dottore dies I'd prly become that way too

[golden sluice]

remind me was Venti awake during that time

[slender haven]

During the Cataclysm?
Yeah but he mainly fought in Khaenri'ah then went back to sleep

Though Venti knows a lot

[golden sluice]

yeah I'm betting on Venti knowing him

I hope Varka does

somehow

[slender haven]

He knows more about history then he lets on imo

[golden sluice]

I wonder if he was exaggerating when he said he doesn't know much or something like that in the aq

[slender haven]

Varka somehow is best pals with Alice and Venti too
Despite that Venti only reawakened after he went on the expedition

[slender haven]

He was probably lying to an extent
Since he even knew what Oceanids were and told Mika about them

[golden sluice]

oh yea the second point is true I never thought of it

I wonder if he's actually older than we think

[golden sluice]

I hope so

[slender haven]

They've brought up his age like 3 times now I think
Could be a set up for him actually being like a 1000 years old

[golden sluice]

what did they say again about his age

[slender haven]

They mainly just joke that he looks young for his age and Varka says "he's no spring chicken"
Venti says that he's "neither old nor young" too

[golden sluice]

could it be time sheningans based on what Venti said

[slender haven]

Yeah, maybe Istaroth powers froze his age somehow

Or something like that

[golden sluice]

could be something related to Andrius too

but he has no time powers

[slender haven]

The original knight of Boreas is very mysterious
Since he seemingly was not from Mondstadt

[golden sluice]

what kind of power did Koitar bestow upon him

[slender haven]

He can control ghosts and spirits

And he also has ice powers

My theory is that Koitar gave him the power of "reason" so he might have that

[golden sluice]

hmm I can see him controlling Varka's spirit from old times and somehow giving him a body now but that seems far fetched

[golden sluice]

what's the power of "reason" exactly

[slender haven]

Unclear right now but it seems to be the strongest one
The leader of the other 4

So essentially just a combination of time, space, life, and death

[golden sluice]

if that's the case I can see Boreas

having to do something with Varka

being older than he seems to be

[slender haven]

Mhm, might have something to do with Hyperborea too

[golden sluice]

Varka?

[slender haven]

Yeah

[golden sluice]

how so

[slender haven]

Koitar ruled Hyperborea and have Andrius his powers
Imunlaukyr, Varka's possible ancestor, was possibly from Hyperborea
And Varka and his expedition were probably in Hyperborea before moving to Nod-Krai

Also you know, Boreas, HypereBOREA

[golden sluice]

I mean yeah I guess

by 6.4

if we actually see the bloodstained knight

is that it for important Mond characters?

[slender haven]

I also think Cap might have something to do with Hyperborea
Since in a leaked note it says that they were creating humans who could use the elements on their own
And Capitano can do just that

[golden sluice]

other than Alice ig if u ckunt her

[slender haven]

Durin's quest implies Dvalin might get some more screen time again soon

[golden sluice]

probably kheanriah was able to learn about it and improve on it and Capitano was able to become one of the humans who can use elements on their own

[slender haven]

Or he's a descendant of them somehow

[golden sluice]

maybe, there could be Hyperborea descendents who went to Khaenriah after its destructiob

[slender haven]

Seutervoinen's vessel is described as having star eyes

Like Khaenri'ahns

[golden sluice]

oh fuck yeah I forgot about that

but I'm thinking that might just be a unique feature

her vessel was able to get

because it's only her vessel that was described as such

[slender haven]

So Khaenri'ahns might be her and Koitar's kids or something

[golden sluice]

most likely ngl

there's a reason they brought it up

[slender haven]

Khaenri'ah also means "betrayers of the wind"

Which could tie into how Boreas was the god of the wind in mythology

[golden sluice]

would explain why most Khaenrians are superhumans too

[golden sluice]

are we certain of that

I saw a lot of people say it

but I can't see why they would give Khaenriah an arabic name since most of its inspiration is norse

and Norwich and Finnish ig all those areas

[slender haven]

Varka's name is Persian despite being in Germany

[golden sluice]

really? what does it mean

[slender haven]

Wolf

[golden sluice]

of course

[slender haven]

Yep

[golden sluice]

so Boreas is tied to Kheanriah through Koitar?

[slender haven]

Indirectly yeah

[golden sluice]

tho if they want to make sense of its name they need to give a connection between them

[slender haven]

They probably will in time

[golden sluice]

any idea when the stream's art drops

@slender haven @ashen ocean @gray raven

[slender haven]

In like a day or two

[golden sluice]

huh

I thought it was wednesday early morning

at least by my time

oh 5am

I'll be awake by then

manifesting Dottore inclusion

I mean obviously but I hope he's in the center or something

nice

manifesting this type of shit in the stream 😭

noooo it happened in 5.3's stream last year

there are way too many elephants to adress

obviously only one of them is a surprise this time

hoping it's Rerir and the 5*s are more than Natlan just for it to be Rerir

Capitano?

true

how so

yeah I mean honestly they're just like that for hype it's not a mystery to anyone tbh

Dottore's atrocities are talked about in the AQs tho

hmm

yeah true

actually we know none of them

only Dahlia, Skirk and Iansan iirc

we knew her design by then?

oh

well we couldn't know it was her at the time of stream

I hope it happens anyways

Escoffier appeared in the Fontaine leak?

I don't remember that

that was few weeks before her beta tho

huh

pretty sure the huge one in the middle is only used in cutscenes

that's his boss mask

yeah not another Dottore just the boss one

yeah

always been

are you saying they're the voyager and Koitar 😭

huh

true

but

he separated the traveler and Bina

most likely yeah

well it's not 100% so traveler is Saarelainen

confirmed by the title

Sandrone is the voyager

yep

@ashen ocean

probs

she's the Luonnatar

[golden sluice]

@ashen ocean is that the frostmoon

huh

so the frostmoon is her new moon

probably the welkin moon now

how so

it's just gonna become the welkin moon

[plain bison]

Paimon is missing

I guess it explains this section of Act 8

[slender haven]

YES

https://tenor.com/view/packwatch-ripbozo-pitalonzo-alex-lafreniere-alex-iafreniere-gif-18890780

Here's some cool Cap art I found

[gray raven]

where's zibai

[slender haven]

Will probably get some art in the second phase of 6.3

[tawdry blade]

It makes sense tho,since the frostmoon wil return to Teyvat,turning it into a "new moon"

[gray raven]

zibai music

[analog merlin]

I am not ready to let go of the Meka Queen if she's just as prominent as the Doctor, Traveler and Columbina. She will be out of commission for half the entire 6.x, returning at around 6.7 considering what we'll be getting character ID-wise.

[tawdry blade]

Why would a planet become a moon

[golden sluice]

wouldn't the frostmoon becoming the welkin moon make more sense

since it's basically her home

[gray raven]

This is the PV of the Luna IV (6.3 ) Trailer OST. It also contains a snippet of Zibai's theme. Total trailer length is 5:27

[golden sluice]

oh yea I heard it

[gray raven]

The Erhu is back

[slender haven]

He has voice lines though

Rerir's gonna be doing this to Dottore when he gets thrown in the moon gate

https://tenor.com/view/i'm-feeling-romantical-gif-3679916476261486912

[golden sluice]

they ain't even interacting gng stop manifesting this shit 🙏

[slender haven]

https://tenor.com/view/saruman-palantir-gif-19765279

For the funnys

[golden sluice]

stop 🙏

I will cry

No he will get beaten by da horse

[golden sluice]

the guy just posted it on FatuiHQ

nearly fell for the bait

😭

[tawdry blade]

Nah cuz why is he talkingbto himself

[slender haven]

Dottore the literal millisecond he loses the powers of the Moons:

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-anime-jojos-bizarre-adventure-joseph-joestar-battle-tendency-gif-17923881

Kars is base Jahoda

And isn't Varka literally voiced by Jospeh?

It's all coming together

I think his JP VA cause his English VA is Thomas the Tank Engine

Ye

Ye

He's also Ironeye in Elden Ring Nightreign which is funny cause he's literally the exact opposite of Varka

One of the characters you can play as in that game

[slender haven]

Nah that's Jebrael

Jeht's dad who sacrificed himself

[tawdry blade]

Rip

[slender haven]

Both daddies

I'm going to make this meme but replace it with Hoyoverse and have it say "I love making cool male character designs but I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER NEVER make them playable"

Idk

I saw this variant first

The best kind of memes are the ones made with genuine hate behind them

That's why the potential man meme will never die

Megumi hate in particular is a perpetual motion machine of shit posting

His fraudulence will literally never be topped

[tawdry blade]

[tawdry blade]

New Year meme

[tawdry blade]

It is pretty funny that currently all hoyo games is in it "romantic " story arc

And the fact all of them have something to do with memories

[golden sluice]

probably, Omega is the strongest segment so it's likely him who can use that power

[gray raven]

trailer soon

i need to catch up man

[golden sluice]

@slender haven https://x.com/i/status/2006656927363903733

I didn't enjoy it

what a way to begin 2025 with

oh same yeah

the weekly boss theme yeah

I didn't like the AQ exclusive theme tho

meh I really didn't like it, I prefer if they followed the usual pattern and just made two phases themes for the weekly boss, they did it to Dottore too, they did him so dirty man

why would you think Rerir was showing up in Natlan

Rerir has two and he's going to be a weekly boss

and the chess boss has two themes

yeah

but it's Dottore man

oh yeah I remember

they probably planned for him to be in Natlan first and changed their minds when they came up with Nod Krai

doesn't this imply she was doing that job for thousands of years now

well I'm glad he appeared in NK instead

with Natlan's writing it's

he would've been off screened or smthn

I'm exaggerating but he wouldn't have gotten this much content

few hundred years? she was doing that job since she was born?

i think it's a past moon sister because it seemes the luonnatar which is Columbina has been in a state where she don't do shit

are we watching ts

nice

yeah

6 am

but I'll probably be awake anyways

messed up my sleep schedule cz of vacation

and I have exams on monday

bro the patch drops on the last days of my exams

right as it ends

literally the same day

honestly

imma just

see if Dottore survives or not

just to be sure

will u read it

ok

a simple yes or no

sure

honestly it's gonna be hard avoiding the spoilers on social media for 2 days tho

@ashen ocean she lowkey had those death flags since the start

idk how they went over my head

bro

if she sacrifices herself against Dottore the hate will be even bigger

😭

yeah but

from a perspective of sales

if they want to sell Dottore

later

do they really want to make another character suffer from his actions?

I hope so

[slender haven]

Got her looking like this

[tawdry blade]

Oh,the scarf already have the star with crescent symbol,so it isnt a new thing

Which platform stream early btw

I hope not twitch

[golden sluice]

all of them start at the same time no?

[tawdry blade]

Back then it was twitch

Dont know if that change but

I heard Japan stream start earlier

[golden sluice]

I think it did

ohhhhhh nvm

idk then not sure

I only watch EN streams

never knew some streams start earlier

[tawdry blade]

They also have different script

[golden sluice]

ok yeah that I know about

different guests too

oh wait this is a dev stream no?

should be the same script for everyone

[tawdry blade]

Oh right

Lantern rite

[golden sluice]

real

and waiting to see Dottore

@ashen ocean remind me do Sandrone and Dottore interact at all in 6.3?

[tawdry blade]

Me waiting for varka leak to see people doompost him

[golden sluice]

please do

[tawdry blade]

They don't

Is cutscene exclusive

[slender haven]

They already have bruh

Schizo doom posting for Varka has been going on for literal months

[tawdry blade]

I still dont like how they didnt give him 2 handguard,instead they give him 1

[slender haven]

Yes, they will do far worse

Mizuki was kinda mid iirc

But she was standard

I know

Varka will have the Hexenzirkel buffs too

I'm hoping he gets a skin like Durin
That would be cool

To reflect him becoming the new wolf king

We only got a leak for Durin's skin a patch before
Skins are apparently hard to leak in general

Traveler's new skins didn't get leaked at all either

Till the day they were announced lol

I hope so
Would be badass

Also mogging Mavuika

When?

Ah ok

[golden sluice]

rip

ty

[slender haven]

Hopefully the Neuvi skin is good

[tawdry blade]

No,it more like because ppl doubt hoyo would even give traveler skin at all

[slender haven]

I kind of wish a Liyue character got it instead though
Baizhu would be nice

[golden sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/shock-wtf-joe-coin-emotiguy-stare-serious-disgust-dark-gif-3168155412875858871

[tawdry blade]

I saw people saying it is manekin skin

But yeah,I believe tvl get a skin anyway

[slender haven]

Ig

[golden sluice]

Albedo skin please

🙏

[slender haven]

Please.

[golden sluice]

i hope it's bait

[tawdry blade]

Want to see how technological Traveler homeland was

[slender haven]

Bro think she Heolstor

[tawdry blade]

I wonder if she actually cut the sky in combat

Fair( wrong reply)

I love character that break space

Skirk but she try to destroy the false sky

[golden sluice]

bro wants Asmoday

[tawdry blade]

Potential Shade

I still like Isatrpth more

Maybe she break space and time with her skill

[slender haven]

Yeah I browse the ZZZ wiki some times

I don't know the lore though

[tawdry blade]

I thought that is Sraha

Shrah

Sarah

[golden sluice]

first character to pause combat timer

[tawdry blade]

O she just copy sunbringer ig

[golden sluice]

will she become playable

aw man

I loved her design

[slender haven]

Hey at least they killed off a female villain for once

You know that took restraint

What's his name

Cool

Looks so much better

Kinda looks like Cap

That'll change when Enjou becomes playable

https://tenor.com/view/hl2-hl3-half-life-3-hopium-hope-gif-7246120153840726923

Would be cool if he was important in Sneznahya
But idk what he would do

[golden sluice]

we'll probably explore mare jivari with him

and that's when he becomes playable

[slender haven]

That should be 6.X.

[golden sluice]

then this year

[slender haven]

6.8 trust

Nicole is pyro so she'll be his support

She'll be Sandrone support I guess

[tawdry blade]

Who is the best example

[golden sluice]

hope so

Nicole is Hexerei focused tho

Snegurochka will probably be related to Snez mechanics in some way, she has no other meta to belong to

how's that possible

like Skirk?

hopefully not

no no I meant the distant stranger thing

I see no reason for her to be Hexerei tho

to join the Hexenzirkel I mean

@slender haven @tawdry blade are u guys watching the livestream

I doubt it but we'll see

the Hexerei units need a second Geo

specifically Albedo

I want a second Geo for Albedo

don't say Noelle she's an on fielder

[tawdry blade]

Oh her,honestly her model is too detailed to be an NPC,there is also that monkey dude who could be playable if he wasn't ugly

The dude that had beef with lighter

Yeah

Unique model is either story related or playable tbh

[golden sluice]

zzz in the big 26

they should be

[tawdry blade]

Playing ZZZ while waiting for genshin

[golden sluice]

yeah I get the zzz sub recommended to me sometimes

they're so deranged

[golden sluice]

are u going to watch the stream

[tawdry blade]

I might miss half of it

[golden sluice]

I didn't know that was a thing

[golden sluice]

bruh you too

[tawdry blade]

https://tenor.com/view/zenless-zzz-zenless-zone-zero-agent-vivian-gif-3362280494284703650

[golden sluice]

I'm staying up just to watch it

[tawdry blade]

My hype stream start early for no reason

[golden sluice]

well honestly I ruined my sleep schedule already bcz of my current vacation that's why im staying up instead of sleeping and waking up early

[golden sluice]

yea it's earlier than usual

by like

7 hours

don't worry guys

I'll keep you updated

here

[tawdry blade]

They gotta add all the possibile personality/trait to each character

[tawdry blade]

At least I can watch the trailer

[golden sluice]

that's good enough ngl

I'm just hoping for more because it's a dev stream

[tawdry blade]

I'll wait for the character shadow teaser image

[golden sluice]

manifesting that so hard

less than 1 hour left

@ashen ocean when do u become available again

yeah

oh

thought u said u had a trip or something around the same time

good

I want a live reaction

to the stream

https://tenor.com/view/sussa-gif-5432297967573209335

[slender haven]

And Sneg is releasing before Sandrone

[slender haven]

Nah

[golden sluice]

why not

[slender haven]

Idk I just don't usually watch them

[golden sluice]

another melt dps is unlikely ngl

[slender haven]

Ok

[golden sluice]

unless Sneg is the dps and Nicole is the support

[golden sluice]

oh okay

that's too bad

[tawdry blade]

Sneg ,mavuika v2

[golden sluice]

bruh the stream started

ig

@ashen ocean @tawdry blade

[tawdry blade]

Bina walking the opposite direction of pierro

[golden sluice]

[tawdry blade]

Drop the trailer already

My mobile data is limited

[golden sluice]

bro

😭

[tawdry blade]

Im not at home

[tawdry blade]

I might have to pay another 5 dollars

[golden sluice]

RERIR ZONE

[tawdry blade]

Where

Im not opening stream until trailer

[golden sluice]

oh

a montage of her journey

she's walking through zones

she's walking in the zone where they fought Rerir rn ig

[tawdry blade]

Is rerir zone just wild hunt area

Oh

[golden sluice]

yeah ig

now she's where they

did the party

nasha town

[tawdry blade]

Getting ther

[golden sluice]

trailer started ig

[tawdry blade]

Neu skin is pretty good

[golden sluice]

IM BUYING THAT SHIT

[tawdry blade]

Traveler skin

[golden sluice]

Neuv's?

yeah

[tawdry blade]

Lmao,ZZZ hollow

Cool trailer

[golden sluice]

that's

[tawdry blade]

Damn varla might be good

[golden sluice]

a lot of people

fighting Dottore

[tawdry blade]

Nicole is Bennett

(Buff team)

Oh god nicole varma team might be real

[golden sluice]

huh

new abilities

for traveler

[tawdry blade]

Skin give them buff

Crazy

But yeah,both traveler now look better

Compare to old self

Cool ponytail tho

[golden sluice]

what do you think about what the trailer showed of Dottore

yeah but

im talking about

the theory

whether he survives or not

and stuff

alrihjhy

alright

entropy

the way he said entropy

bends to me

yeah

yeah

it's the power

only the descenders can use

to defy fate

temporarily tho ig

we'll see

@ashen ocean there's something

interesting

in the youtube stream

during the showcase there's this subtitle

@ashen ocean

during Dottore's showcase

it isn't I think

i'm dreading this patch now

too many people are fighting him

even Nicole and Varka

I hope so

[golden sluice]

somnias a luna?

[tawdry blade]

Did I miss anyt

Oh that all?

I'll be back then

Need to assemble

Yeah I know that

I watched the trailer bit not the review after

[golden sluice]

@ashen ocean bruh I think it was a bug

[tawdry blade]

That guy theory might also be true

[golden sluice]

the wild hunt enemies just said the same thing while they're showcasing Illuga

yea

[distant citrus]

Zibai is related to actual lunar chariot

Horse wasn't just for name I guess

Devs said it not directly though

[tawdry blade]

It makes sense,he was waiting for Traveler to show him the world and start his experiment, he obviously did something before the fight

[distant citrus]

Lmao they're riding the chariot

[tawdry blade]

Do u think Traveler skin unlocked when we reach the fallen moon palace domain area?

[slender haven]

Wait it's already out?
Damn

[tawdry blade]

Traveler did not have it in the fight

[golden sluice]

the chinese name for Bakunawa?

[tawdry blade]

Lantern rite permanent ?

[golden sluice]

zamn Neuv looks good

[golden sluice]

the quest yeah

[tawdry blade]

Good direction

Zibai is important

Unrelated,ineffa bina first half

Holy peak banner

[golden sluice]

real

[slender haven]

Why can't they announce the 4 stars immediately?

[golden sluice]

same

[golden sluice]

greed

[slender haven]

No it's just them being annoying

[golden sluice]

ig

do they do it in hsr

and zzz

[tawdry blade]

They announce 4s before the patch live anyway

[tawdry blade]

I think yes

[slender haven]

So Dottore is trying to eat Teyvat now huh?
All the people saying he was was totally still serving the Tsaritsa are gonna eat their words

Also Illuga's theme was pretty good actually

No

He's trying to become the God of Teyvat
That includes over her

[golden sluice]

it's a teaser

[tawdry blade]

Fair

[slender haven]

Neuvillette's skin looks really fucking good damn
Was hesitant at first but they really pulled through

[tawdry blade]

Hope we ride it

[slender haven]

Also they said that Zibai would totally protect the Moons when they're in danger

[tawdry blade]

Totally

[slender haven]

Zibai when the moon is in danger

https://tenor.com/view/goku-sleeping-sleeping-gif-18812154

[slender haven]

Skill issue

[golden sluice]

[slender haven]

[tawdry blade]

Hangout is basically replaced by the anecdote

[slender haven]

Yeah
