[maiden escarp]

True

[frozen lintel]

theres some holes that havent been explained yet

so imma just wait

[maiden escarp]

Also I definitely was not lurking

[frozen lintel]

its gonna be a while before we get a welt focus tbh

[maiden escarp]

Don't worry about it

[frozen lintel]

pretty sure we focusing on dan heng first cuz xianzhou

[analog pollen]

did you look into the leaks at all?

[frozen lintel]

a bit

😎

[analog pollen]

damn son

what are you using

[maiden escarp]

How the fuck

[analog pollen]

I think the most I have is like the one for 30k

[maiden escarp]

My most is like 5k

[analog pollen]

how far into the sim worlds are you?

[maiden escarp]

Sim 4

[analog pollen]

you can get some really cheesy numbers with certain setups

[maiden escarp]

[analog pollen]

dont remember if I talked about it in this thread or not

but I got the get all elation blessings event during a world 4 diff 2 run

I was doing literally half the healthbar of svarog with 1 ult

I couldnt believe my eyes

wish I recorded it

[maiden escarp]

Why does every child call us big brother/sister

I literally just met you

[analog pollen]

fanservice

a lot of people are into that

[maiden escarp]

Still weird

[analog pollen]

some for more innocent reasons than others

[maiden escarp]

[analog pollen]

indeed

[maiden escarp]

Man.

[analog pollen]

it works better in japanese

have hook and clara call you oniichan

[frozen lintel]

pain

lots of retries

[maiden escarp]

Damn

Also I ate the funny immortality pellet

My tummy hurts

[frozen lintel]

Lmao

Btw the trick was seele + tingyun + bronya

On the first weekly boss guy

[maiden escarp]

Imagine having any of those characters

Couldn't be me

[analog pollen]

ye I ate it too

was hoping for a permanent buff

but nothing

wonder if the stellaron makes us immune

maybe we already are immortal

[maiden escarp]

I mean

We literally have a stellaron inside of us

I wouldn't be surprised

Our body is special somehow

[frozen lintel]

Lol I borrowed tingyun

Technically u can get it next banner

And then borrow bronya

[analog pollen]

i'll try it next time

been borrowing bronya recently

tho she doesnt feel super good with seele cuz of the speed breakpoints?

seelie already attacks twice in 1 cycle so bronya advancing the 2nd attack by a couple turns doesn't really do a whole lot when you think about it

wish I could speed tweak them so bronya's turn comes after both of seeles turns but can't really do that with supports

[frozen lintel]

Oh my bronya just goes before seele

It’s weird cuz once u pop e, seele goes before bronya on the second attack

[analog pollen]

if she goes before seele the first attack that's even worse

speed breakpoint optimization is definitely gonna become really important in the late game but it's kinda hard to do right now when most people are lacking artifacts

I was able to make it so tingyun goes before seele so I can buff her turn 1 but that's been the exent of my tweaking so far

[frozen lintel]

She’s get damage buff for her first few attacks

Apparantly it’s most optimal I believe

Someone did some calculations but I’m not sure 100% u can prob look it up

[analog pollen]

idk like

how long does the buff last for?

cuz if you can make it so her advancing skill actually gives you an extra turn during that same cycle you otherwise wouldn't have had

that's already a 50% damage increase on top of the buff

it's just hard to argue with just theoreticals, I'd need to have bronya on my account and some good artifacts so tweak the speed numbers and test setups

that's one of my main pet peeves with this game

I normally love optimizing my team in turn based games

but this being a gacha makes optimization extremely slow and limited

[frozen lintel]

I think if u get a reset on ur kill

It doesn’t count as a second round

The buff lasts for 2-3 turns I think?

[analog pollen]

if youre talking about seele it doesn't "use up" a buff charge if you she does multiple action back to back

[frozen lintel]

I’m no math guy but I’m pretty sure I’m having more success with bronya going first

[frozen lintel]

YeH that’s what I mean

[analog pollen]

cuz on the action bar it shows all her action next to each other horizontally

buff charges only get used up when the action bar moves vertically

[frozen lintel]

Mhm

So the buff is pretty useful

[wraith token]

whose buff are we talking about

[frozen lintel]

Just gotta plan ahead

Anything tbh

Any effect on a character

[analog pollen]

ye any positive buff stacked on seele

[analog pollen]

that's slightly misleading

[wraith token]

my seele only has +5 speed on the total relic substat

[analog pollen]

you can still click the ultimate button

it just won't take effect immediately like normal

[wraith token]

yeah i know

it forces to use the extra turn above anything else

[analog pollen]

theres certain texts in the en version that aren't as clear as I'd like them to be

hope they patch them soon

I got scammed with the moles weapon text

[wraith token]

its queued not used

[vivid moon]

Blade is the grim reaper confirmed

[maiden escarp]

[vivid moon]

my max is still like... 2000 im pretty sure

[analog pollen]

against the broken doomsday beast?

it has like a really big damage increase when it's broken

[vivid moon]

is that the first one

i'm only tl14

[analog pollen]

ah

ye it's the first boss

[vivid moon]

yeah i don't remember what i did to the boss but i know the achievement i got for damage said my max was 2k

you havent seen any memes with it?

no

i don't really use twitter

also make sure to talk to the guests in the train

they give you 10 jades twice each

speaking of kuru kuru lol

[vivid moon]

Damn

I already got off

[gray fractal]

it's time, for Star Rail to finance Genshin Impact 2

[nimble condor]

Every day?

[analog pollen]

no, just twice per unique chara

once when they first visit and another at random

it's like the teapot favorite sets in genshin but this one is just rng

[gray fractal]

the only true kurukuru meme https://youtu.be/xHp1j8Eb8p0?t=10

[analog pollen]

that is one of the relatively few popular series I know next to nothing about

[gray fractal]

it's actually pretty known meme. Since WhatshernameHerta was sorta OP in Star Rail CBT

[analog pollen]

ya know
this probably doesnt mean anything
but in the intro sequence when picking our gender kafka says that this decision will bring about lots of changes
I wonder if she canonically changed our gender from what it used to be
it'd be wild if we get some stellaron hunter flashback with the gender that you didnt pick in their group

LMAO WHAT??

[nimble condor]

And that too yes

[nimble condor]

China like hot Chinese guy

[vivid moon]

G O O D

[nimble condor]

I wanted to lose 50/50 to have garanteed for silver wolf

But I got the hot guy

[vivid moon]

After both the seele and Jing Yuan banners doing absolutely insane numbers, maybe people will stop saying genshin is just hoyo's cash cow

Hot guy is good

He destroys

[nimble condor]

I mean it its

Just that star rail is also a cash cow

[nimble condor]

Ik he stronk

[vivid moon]

Yeah but before a ton of people would complain that genshin isn't having any care put into it because it's just seen as the company's major income/cash cow for them to put money into other games

[nimble condor]

He's the first to do good follow up attacks

[vivid moon]

But if honkai is doing numbers, then would that make people stop saying those things?

Yeee

[nimble condor]

Genshin isn't a cash cow it's a Guinea pig

[vivid moon]

I'm ready to pull for the lad

[gray fractal]

Well, genshin gets enough care in multiple areas. Just little QoL care

[vivid moon]

It is a guinea pig for itself with how the updates seem to be going lol

[vivid moon]

Yeah exactly

[nimble condor]

We shall see in Fontaine

[maiden escarp]

I want lion man

He's not out yet tho

[nimble condor]

I got lion man

[vivid moon]

But I've seen so many people complain and say no care is put into genshin despite it raking in absurd amounts of money

Like those complaints calmed down a bit when sumeru released

And then started back up a little bit after a while

[nimble condor]

I'd say care is put on it but it's been a bit misguided

[vivid moon]

Maybe

[nimble condor]

I want less mini games and more story and end game

[vivid moon]

But it has improved tenfold since inazuma imo

[gray fractal]

well, Inazuma was a total flop IMO

[nimble condor]

I like inazuma

But I'm a massive weeb so

[vivid moon]

Yee, inazuma may have been smack dab in the middle of them getting new employees in for its development

That's what I've often heard is the reason for the funny pacing for the story

And it all being crammed into a couple of archon quests

[nimble condor]

I think the biggest comparison so far it's just how better hsr writing is

If Genshin had sumeru lvl writing from the beginning it wouldn't have as many complaints

[vivid moon]

I like inazuma as a region, it has a very interesting concept and I like the overall plot of the region and its troubles, the landscape and each island is also really neat to explore and has very fascinating colors and formations to set each one apart

[nimble condor]

But the difference in settings also helps

[vivid moon]

Yeah

But when it started, it was still sort of small lol

So I don't really bag on early game

[nimble condor]

Small indie company

[gray fractal]

it's not only the pacing. It looks like they almost completely dropped 2nd island storyline and Tatarasuna for the most part.

[vivid moon]

The difference in setting with it being more modern/futuristic helps with all the lingo they use and the funny quips

[nimble condor]

Hsr is hilarious

[vivid moon]

I meant game not company foshcowbf

I love hsr's random bullshit

[nimble condor]

Genshin tries to take itself seriously but can't ever do so cause of that flying gremlin following us

[maiden escarp]

Yeah idk if genshin is the right setting for pop culture reference

[vivid moon]

It's not open world like genshin but hell they make it fun to explore anyway

[nimble condor]

Hsr takes itself seriously cause pompom is stuck on the train and march is a dum but not that dum

[vivid moon]

What would pop culture references be like in the year 1452

[maiden escarp]

The black plague

[gray fractal]

ZZZ would have been the best imo, for that stuff

[vivid moon]

We'll make jokes about plague doctors

Dottore cmere

[gray fractal]

damn, I get dolor, rubor, and tumor all over me after joke like that

[maiden escarp]

The only references would be this

[vivid moon]

😭

[nimble condor]

We already do

[maiden escarp]

Also wait kc is lion guy out already?

I thought he drops in like a couple hours

[vivid moon]

No, apparently

We gotta wait 5.5 more hours

[analog pollen]

did you go to the silvermane guard area

[vivid moon]

holy shit this woman is down bad what the fuck did i just walk into

they're supposed to be acting weird?

I kinda started to just skim the dialogue after a point,it was starting to be too much

my jing yuan looks little too short and young

It should let u attack at least twice before lightning lord hits

Plus if u have tingyun u can add an ult for full 10 stacks

there's also world 3 diff 2 and world 4 diff 2

I just found out there is a hidden quest with the trash cans on Jarilo IV, seems I haven't interacted with all of the cans

[daring raft]

finished belobog main story

[maiden escarp]

What hidden quest

[pulsar junco]

apparantly ||there is a trash society|| if you interact with all the trashcans

[maiden escarp]

Did you see it in a YouTube short

[pulsar junco]

yes

[maiden escarp]

And did he get a trash can head by the end of it

[analog pollen]

Which one

[analog pollen]

Thats fake

The guy does genshin mods too

[pulsar junco]

ok good then
because I thought I did interact with every single trash can

[analog pollen]

Did you get the achivement

Thats how you can check

[daring raft]

people around me are surprised that HSR’s current event is time-gated??

am I missing sth

[analog pollen]

ask them if they ever played genshin

maybe it's a different crowd

(also is the event out in eu yet I haven't logged on)

[daring raft]

heck i’m pretty sure plenty other gacha do this too

but i’m primarily recalling some older fgo events too ig

[analog pollen]

ye but those also have a lot more content( for better or worse)

[nimble condor]

Every single gacha event has some element that is time gated

[pulsar junco]

whats the event

[daring raft]

if it’s anything like Genshin in terms of general event output it’s fine imo. Esp when plenty players already got early game plot, quests, and Sims.

[analog pollen]

idk personally

fgo events burned me out on the game completely

it felt like a full time job if you wanted to get all the rewards

i very much appreciate the more laid back casual event structure mihoyo does

[daring raft]

very much understandable as a fellow ex fgo player

also i wasted 48 resin yesterday

[pulsar junco]

haruna fr this chart is over the top

[daring raft]

at that point I’d just YT it if I wanted to keep up that badly.

i got some friends that even went that route cuz they were fed up with it

[nimble condor]

there's a youtuber that does recaps of the story but it aint the same

[gray fractal]

not if you need to optimize resin usage for server update shutdowns, when you need to slowly shift your resin-refill window. To make that as painless as possible, precise calculations are necessary

[pulsar junco]

seems too much work

but hey, whatever floats your boat

i just don't care to grind that much

that was a joke btw

sorry that flew over my head

[pulsar junco]

is that the cone with Pom Pom on?

[maiden escarp]

Yep

[nimble condor]

and i have herta's stigma on lvl 30 on him

gotta wait for next patch to get the bp light cone

[maiden escarp]

I have like barely any leveled artifacts

[nimble condor]

but hey

[pulsar junco]

all my artis are lvl 0

[nimble condor]

i almost fucked up cocolia with Fire MC Nat Seele and Him

making ults count as follow up attacks with the elation buffs is pretty neat

now just gotta build the fox that i finally got

and after that gotta build sus hang

[pulsar junco]

[vivid moon]

You guys have artifacts?

[pulsar junco]

the cope you get from treasure chests

[nimble condor]

ill get artifacts

when all my characters are lvl 60 with max talents

aka never

[vivid moon]

LMAO

stelle flirting back after almost getting cpr from dan heng

god i love this game

[maiden escarp]

I put him in a tree

[vivid moon]

what did he say

did you still ask to observe him

[vivid moon]

fuck i gotta level up to do the event

[maiden escarp]

It's the same dialogue

[vivid moon]

oh okay

oh lovely

also is it just me or does stelle sound suuuper aussie when she plays a game on her phone and goes "NOICE"?

i can't stop thinking about it

who is her va so i can look her up

she doesn't sound as aussie in her regular dialogue so i'm curious if she's aussie and trying to use an "american" accent

LOL I GOT TO THE RELICS MESSAGES

i love it so much

has anyone deciphered the language used in belebog btw

PEAK IS AUSSIE

DFGRHTDJD

WASN'T EXPECTING THAT

that or he's funny british man

but it sounds aussie to me

the way seele calls bronya a princess reminds me of that link meme

https://tenor.com/view/excuse-me-zelda-link-princess-gif-13095346

^ seele to bronya

ooooh belebog's battle music

LMAO???

holy shit the mine cart was right, it could see the future

[vivid moon]

LMAO IDK WHICH DIALOGUE OPTION TO CHOOSE

it's a little jarring to me though

she went from doing everything she could to try and arrest us and get us to her leader in the middle of an armed battalion to... friendly as can be, like super chummy and perfectly fine with just chatting

it's weird

like there was no growth from beginning to now

literally "i will jump into the pits of hell to bring them back to justice before my lady" to within two spoken dialogue later "i mean... seele's cool. you guys are cool. i'll tell you whatever you want- these wildfire people aren't bad either even though their leader just insulted my leader that i love so much"

[daring raft]

i thought that was awkward too tbh

[vivid moon]

yee

[daring raft]

Seele and Bronya already started acknowledging each other so well off screen while I was maining my Clara team that used neither

[vivid moon]

like, she's seen us do some good stuff, yeah

[daring raft]

[vivid moon]

but hasn't really... seen or done or said much

yknow?

[daring raft]

I won’t spoil too much given where you’re at, but Hoyo missed a darn good opportunity between those two that could’ve made it click better later on.

[vivid moon]

LMAO??

I WAS JUST

I JUST FINISHED A FIGHT WITH SOME ENEMIES

AND A RANDOM ASS DUDE

CAME OUT OF NOWHERE

AND BEAT MY ASS

I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO TURN AROUND WHEN I FINISHED THE FIGHT

[daring raft]

to put it vaguely:

have a certain seed planted in main story
flesh that out in further in either Seele and/or Bronya’s individual Companion Quests.
Belobog spoilers: ||the camaraderie between the two is quite nice but imo they could’ve sold it even stronger earlier on if they had gone with Bronya and Seele actually having been childhood friends or acquaintances of a sort that only rediscovered each other. Bronya can still recall some things from her early childhood in the Underground but “she learned to hide her thoughts from an early age.”||
Not damned as is though, but would’ve been nice if they’d gone that route to add context to how they seemed to have gotten along relatively quickly.

[vivid moon]

i will not click until later

but yeah, if we were given context as to what happened, i'd be fine with that even if it was off screen

it just felt like it happened so quickly and after almost nothing

[daring raft]

Gepard lives rent free in my head after finding out how he’s both extremely relentless in both canon and gameplay.

Tanky boys good

[vivid moon]

oh yeah

i finally got my hands on the relic system

level 28 and he's a chonky tank already

he has more defense than all my dps's attack and has over 1000hp already LOL

holy shit mare fell into a ~~ cat~~ rabbit hole

[vivid moon]

oh my god, i've found a new goal

noooo it only has one interact dialogue

omg im gonna be a bridesmaid

[vivid moon]

oh my god bernard is giving me the choice of red vs blue

after giving me a speech about the space-time continuum

[vivid moon]

god i don't like capote as a person, love him as a character, but love his va the most

his va is so charming

[vivid moon]

trying to talk to asta about arlan and us looking through clues just has asta going through depression and me just being like "i.. think you need a break"

[vivid moon]

i love asta's voice actor

she's losing her fucking mind during this quest

and pulling at as many straws as she can

to continue spinning her narrative

and it's a sight to behold LOL

GOD I LOVE HER VOICE ACTOR

[daring raft]

Rich Space Mona gud

[vivid moon]

ikr

[vivid moon]

baby feels lost

the fourth wall breaks

i like the disparity between like

bronya and cocolia being ||adoptive family||, and ||natasha being like an adoptive mom to seele|| because one is so much harsher than the other it feels

[daring raft]

did you know Natasha is a Honkai 3rd character btw

[vivid moon]

i don't play hi3

[daring raft]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hoducks/images/3/36/Midnight_Absinthe.png/revision/latest?cb=20221010181217

I almost thought Natasha was a completely new character until seeing her lol

Natasha Ciora

[analog pollen]

Its weird cuz they have different vas

So far all the other expys have the same vas for cn and jp

[daring raft]

she’s even got the mole on the same spot on her face

no ways was this coincidental lol

she is missing the hair antenna though

[analog pollen]

Ye im not saying shes not her just feels weirdchamp with the voice actor thing

Speaking of

Hope they keep the en vas for raiden and yae

[daring raft]

dw I’m just musing to myself

wasnt meant as a direct reply per say

[vivid moon]

i like underground natasha better

[analog pollen]

also Ishould correct myself

[analog pollen]

belobog bronya doesn't have the same jp va as hi3 bronya,only chinese

but silver wolf has both of the vas the same

not sure why they did it like that

maybe the jp one couldn't reach a big enough voice range difference that the staff wanted?

and since (presumably) silver wolf will be more proeminent they let her be the one with the double matching vas

[maiden escarp]

He's a British YouTuber

[analog pollen]

ye the storyline definitely felt a bit rushed in a few places, still p enjoyable overall tho

[vivid moon]

oh okay

[analog pollen]

theres another secret quest for the trash cans in the space station if you havent got it yet

[vivid moon]

in the space station? 👀

[analog pollen]

yep yep

want me to tell you

[vivid moon]

sure

i'll look at it tomorrow

[analog pollen]

go in the master control zone

theres 5 or 6 trash cans spread around

most of them have the generic interact message

but randomly one of them should have a unique message about you picking up litter and putting it in the trash can

[vivid moon]

oh

i think i started that but idk

[analog pollen]

after you pick litter once randomly another trashcan will get the prompt

you need to do it 4 times for the secret

[vivid moon]

ooh okay

tyty

[vivid moon]

losing my shit because this lady just asked me which there's more of: prime numbers or natural numbers

i answered natural numbers

and she told me i was wrong

and i'm????

i'm so confused

because like.... even if both go on for infinity, wouldn't there still be more natural numbers?
every prime number is a natural number, but not every natural number is a prime number
and in between each prime number are more natural numbers
so even if both go into infinity, there'd be infinitely more natural numbers, right?

WAY TO RUB IT IN, JACKASS

I TRIED HELPING YOUR ASS

AND THIS IS WHAT I GET

this bitch can go do it himself if it's that important to him

[maiden escarp]

I'm pretty sure you just can't get it right

I tried mathing out another part of his daily and there's literally just no answer

[vivid moon]

[maiden escarp]

But good luck

You're stuck with him for 3 more dailies

[vivid moon]

HHHH

[maiden escarp]

🙂

[vivid moon]

[vivid moon]

look at em jamming out

[maiden escarp]

pom pom the goat

[wraith token]

aight a few more

[vivid moon]

i still need to finish a questline before i can do the event

then level to 21

[analog pollen]

Infinities are weird

Think about it this way

Theres just as many natural numbers as there are even numbers

The way you compare infinity sizes is by mapping a function that can map each number from 1 set to unique number from the other set

If the mapping is 1 to 1 the sets are equal

For natural vs even the mapping is f(x)=2*x ,with x being any natural number

For the primes the mapping is a bit more complicated iirc but you can find a proof online

[maiden escarp]

So the game is still wrong

[analog pollen]

What did you pick?

[maiden escarp]

I picked natural

[analog pollen]

Ye thats wrong

[maiden escarp]

HUH

But

[analog pollen]

Theyre the same size

Hold on lemme google

[maiden escarp]

There's no same size option

[analog pollen]

There should be,i got that one yesterday

[maiden escarp]

Huh

When I got it I remember only 2 options

But then again

[analog pollen]

Unless theres multiple variations of it?

[maiden escarp]

I am stupid

I also hate the other variation with the dumbass variables

Math sucks

[analog pollen]

https://youtu.be/OxGsU8oIWjY

Watch this when you can

[maiden escarp]

Ah hell no

Not parabolic math bullshit

[analog pollen]

Proof for primes

Also as a general rule of thumb all countable infinities are considered equal

[pulsar junco]

this is why when I saw this quest I just googled the answers, ain't no way I am going to remember math I learned 600 years ago to do one quest

and that question is even easy, there is one where you actually need to calculate some shit

https://www.pockettactics.com/honkai-star-rail/ministry-of-education

for anyone struggling or just have general PTSD from school

[analog pollen]

LYNXX

(also aren't the snow plains just deserted)

[daring raft]

I hold myself back cuz I wanna complete all the space station quests and Belobog quests and chests first before going to Space China

[analog pollen]

fuck I just noticed I was capped on resin
I didnt realise it's been that long

I should have been 49 now

pain

[wraith token]

RIP you too

[analog pollen]

the worst part is im not sure how it even happened or for how long I was capped

I remember logging in yesterdat evening but maybe I forgot to spend my resin before loggin out?

I also overslept today so logged in later than usual

[analog pollen]

congrats

how is it

[analog pollen]

the way they talk about mara reminds me of cancer

a disease that happens to everyone and is more likely to happen the older you get

[vivid moon]

There were four options
More prime
More natural
They're the same
What kind of question is this (iirc)

[vivid moon]

I finished all the space station quests iirc and did all the chests in that and (so far as many as I'm capable of accessing) in belebog but I can't do the ascension quest to level up to 21 until I've finished the main story quest for belebog

Or at least the underground

[daring raft]

am I the only one conflicted or unappealed by most of the enemy designs in HSR?

[vivid moon]

No

Personally I'm not a huge fan of most of the playable character designs either

The enemies were novel at first but now I see them more

And I like

Now I only like the warp trotters

LOL

[daring raft]

im going to yank Gepard’s icicles off his armor I stg

[vivid moon]

At the very least you can't say they aren't a little unique

[vivid moon]

LMAO

[daring raft]

like I’ll give a pass on the one on this breast plate but the one on his gauntlet looks so darn annoying to look at omg

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/houkai-star-rail/images/2/21/Character_Gepard_Game.png/revision/latest?cb=20220620011730

[analog pollen]

have you looked at the leaked character stuff

[vivid moon]

I saw the leaked model for ||Dan Heng|| and I really like it

And I like one more character

[analog pollen]

there's ||5star hunt that summons a pet warp trotter to fight for you||

[vivid moon]

But not a massive fan of designs like ||the one dude with cybernetic arm and leg with the punk aesthetic, it looks so messy and weird||

[vivid moon]

AWWWWW

Pokemon

[analog pollen]

I would assume it works like the lightning lord

but we'll have to wait and see

[vivid moon]

Me every time I look at bronya

Yeee we gotta wait

But that sounds adorable

What if it's like sushant

Sushang*

[analog pollen]

the current leaked kit specifically mentions that it attacks on its own

but ye anw

if we're talking about designs

for me it's not the design themselves that aren't really doing it but moreso the aesthetic

im way more into high fantasy stuff than scifi

[daring raft]

I look at Bronya thinking in my head:
“Ok who’s gonna be the brave soul that points out to her how short her skirt is and exposing her pantyhose to the public when on a podium? And why isn’t is Seele?”

[analog pollen]

me when I look at genshin raiden

[vivid moon]

Yeah, I don't mind sci-fi designs but I am also a fan of symmetry with a little asymmetry

But so far a vast majority of the designs feel super asymmetrical and messy

With even more useless added crap onto their outfits than genshin LOL

[daring raft]

at least she’s not outright wearing undies/lingerie under those. She wore a similar thing even as a kagemusha. Whereas Makoto wore a kimono. She must really like the mobility.

[analog pollen]

I mean

im pt sure that's her panties that are poking out

the dark purple bits on the sides

[daring raft]

it’s not. Hoyo can’t include that into their models.
With how high reaching it is, this is more akin to the one piece Ganyu wears, but no leg sleeves.

[daring raft]

ok but the butterflies are new to me

[analog pollen]

the placement of the butterfly really makes it look like they're panties

[daring raft]

gdi

discord deleted my post

gimme a sec

[vivid moon]

She is a warrior, mobility is crucial when fighting any opponent

[daring raft]

Even with the inclusion of the patterns I wouldn't say they're panties necesarily. Same with how Ayaka’s got patterns on her own diapers spats (but I can see making a case calling those briefs too tbf) . It is starting to show signs of simulating someone’s hidden 'interests'. Still veiled so well that you’d never know until putting them in very unusual angles likes these.
But with how far reaching up it is I do wonder how the full outfit is structured even more now.
it looks a little too high to be a high rise brief.

onto star rail designs though

https://vxtwitter.com/Sniper4690TV/status/1654467301218074630

who else noticed this

[vivid moon]

I noticed it, just didn't care for it because it clashes so much in the design imo LOL

Like the premise is cool and interesting, but the execution feels messy and off-putting

[analog pollen]

I dont really see the knight part

the purple highlights kinda ruin it for me

[vivid moon]

Astral finds out that osmanthus wine is an actual thing and can be used in more than just genshin grandpa dialogue

But also why the fuck is this child talking about becoming a Celestian

[lament bramble]

Fun trivia: Celestial used to be a standard way of referring to people from China 👀

(In the 19th century, but still interesting)

[vivid moon]

Oooh

[lament bramble]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_Empire

Celestial Empire -> "Celestials"

[analog pollen]

hes not really a child

long life species remember

also he might be a dragon people

hard to tell with the generic models

[wraith token]

difficulty 3 gepard and his soldiers are war machines

[analog pollen]

I

impressive

[vivid moon]

Oh that's interesting

[analog pollen]

I should do that too I have my clara built now

[vivid moon]

I do not remember as i've not met this child or species yet in the game and do not see a dragon tail or ears or anything on him

[analog pollen]

the generic models dont have dragon features

it's dumb

the adults have longer ears and thats it

im not sure if the kids have anything

as for the other species

they use the term "long life species" to refer to species that were cursed by the abundance and can live thousands of years now in their natural life cycle

from what we know so far the species that fall into this category are the foxians (fox people) and the xianzhou natives(the ones that look like normal humans)

then there's the dragon people (I forgot their actual name) that were granted phoenix-style rebirth immortality by another aeon before it died or smth like that

theres some interesting lore dialogue you can get if you talk with some of the npcs in the populated areas

[vivid moon]

[analog pollen]

about how when they rebirth they lose all their memories so in a sense it's less so a rebirth and moreso that they give birth to a different person when they die

[vivid moon]

Yeah the dragon species name is weird

[analog pollen]

some of them keep diaries to pass on to the new person after they die

[vivid moon]

It is a rebirth, just they don't have memories

[analog pollen]

really cool stuff

no I mean

theres one girl you can talk to

[vivid moon]

Not sure why dying and being reborn as a baby would mean you keep your memories

[analog pollen]

that literally talks about herself and her previous incarnation as different people

[vivid moon]

Ah

[analog pollen]

it

it's in that pretty river area in the first town district you go to on the planet

shes singing something iirc

[vivid moon]

Ooooh okay

I will promptly forget this as I'm not even close to finishing jarilo VI

[analog pollen]

oooh

rip

[vivid moon]

Yee

I'm still far behind everyone else lmao

[analog pollen]

ye the lore of the xianzhou is super duper interesting to me

im really pleased with that they did with it

esp cuz in genshin liyue was my least favorite region

so I was very skeptical going in

[lament bramble]

Intentionally waiting to do the Xianzhou story til the next version 👀

Get the most binge possible out of it

[analog pollen]

you'll also get to experience the reworked version lol

curious how much different it's gonna be

[vivid moon]

Reworked version?

It'll be changed?

Reworked for all players or reworked after a quest in the new update

[analog pollen]

they posted an annnouncement recently that due to player feedback they're gonna turn some of the main story quests into optional sidequests to change the pacing of the story (and presumably rewrite a bit of the dialogue to make it all work,I dont see any other way)

[vivid moon]

Oh 😭

I'm curious then

What exactly will be changed in the story itself

If they're just... Moving main story to side quests

And for just a pacing issue

[analog pollen]

a lot of people felt that some of the main story quests were kinda fillerish so and felt kinda random and abrupt so they're taking them out

like ugh

[vivid moon]

Ooh okay

[analog pollen]

remember how in liyue you had to go hunt for the cocogoat and slime jelly gifts and fix the ballista for no reason

[vivid moon]

Wondering if I should get to it before or after the rework

[analog pollen]

that type of deal

[lament bramble]

oh yeah, speaking of annoying, yall want to see the most frustrating thing?

[vivid moon]

Sure

[lament bramble]

My HSR battlepass rn

[analog pollen]

in a few hours

im 3 levels away

[vivid moon]

Oh yeah, my genshin BP was short 5 points to 50 lol

[analog pollen]

should get it next reset

[vivid moon]

Had to wait for the server rollover

[lament bramble]

yeah yeah, I can get it next reset. But for all of today, it's just going to be sitting there at 99.9%

[vivid moon]

LOL

[lament bramble]

heavyweight thing doesnt open for a few days

so it's just there to taunt me

[wraith token]

finished it yesterday

[analog pollen]

haruna better than all of us damn

filled battlepass tl 50

[wraith token]

going going past lv60 is so expensive

[analog pollen]

all in due time

unless youre trying to clear moc there's no real rush

[wraith token]

kinda hard with only 1 healer and i kinda dont want to build gepard

[analog pollen]

gepard is really really good

but up to you

[narrow fulcrum]

Have a smol serval and gepard

[vivid moon]

I love it

[pulsar junco]

i love them

Jake ready to flex his Jin Yuan with big numbers

[lament bramble]

Nah, he's a dude

I only pull for waifu

[nimble condor]

well i was pulling for waifus and he came

Sus hang and Tingyun

had to do another 10 pull after getting him for tingyun to come

[lament bramble]

Ngl, I don't plan on building Tingyun lol

I know she's meta, but I just cant bring myself to like her

[nimble condor]

I like her cause she's Yae

but not fucking annoying

i dont wanna throw her off a cliff

which is a win in my book

[vivid moon]

I instantly replaced my tingyun with Natasha

[nimble condor]

im using Fire MC Natasha Tingyun DPS

[lament bramble]

Im still sticking with my FireMC Seele Herta Bailu combo

Idc if Herta aint meta. She's S tier when it comes to clearing our filler mobs

[maiden escarp]

I love tingyun

[nimble condor]

personaly i dont like herta it feels like she does absolutely no dmg

[lament bramble]

The kuru kuru sustains me

[nimble condor]

go check the dude that made the kuru kuru alarm clock

[vivid moon]

I like herta, like Jake said she does real nice with taking down excess mobs

My team rn is physical mc, Dan Heng, gepard, and Natasha although I only just swapped her in last night, haven't used her yet

[nimble condor]

The harem Mc strikes again

[pulsar junco]

kururing

[lament bramble]

Was just thinking today...

Come Christmas time, I 100% expect someone to make a Kururing cover of Padoru

It's inevitable

[pulsar junco]

same energy

[vivid moon]

just noticed this guy's "name"

also i'm sorry sampo but i will completely disregard any warning you give me and will scavenge every corner of this realm

also also the implications of finding this are kind of depressing- did her sister turn into a warp trotter? or did the warp trotter attack and eat her sister..

also also also

hello depression my old friend

the fact it describes both her crying and the light of the window slowly fading after hearing how weak she was just...

[pulsar junco]

this side quest gave me Bloodborne vibes, especially the whole talking to someone through a window who is apparantly dead

also musicbox moment also gave me Lady Maria flashbacks

https://tenor.com/view/sekiro-shadows-die-twice-bloodborne-lady-maria-gif-13969664

[maiden escarp]

I'm sorru but I hate the kuru kuru

It's so annoying

[vivid moon]

Idk kuru kuru, I only know "IT'S TIME TO TWIRL!!!!"

[vivid moon]

Yeah 😭

Like when the music box started playing, I thought I had been talking to a bot or smth but .. no ..

[analog pollen]

it is 100% a bloodborne reference

surprised they'd throw something like that in

but then again like most of the achievements are anime/game references too

[daring raft]

Good. Destroy it.

Drop a waffler on it.

[analog pollen]

tomorrow

[gray fractal]

omg, lol, I seriously never noticed this somehow. I guess she has a clever design with her antihorny thigh-high boots that doesn't attract your attention. While I would say that Raiden has a design as if she was specifically designed to make a man horny, lol. Cleavage, booba-sword, bare legs, short skirt (or whateber it is called)

[daring raft]

a bunch of Hoyo designs are when you look closely enough. Once you look closely enough you can’t unsee it.

[gray fractal]

@daring raft damn, you ruined it for me lol. Now I can't unsee this strange design. It's so unrealistic

[daring raft]

sees Pela’s model when you look from the side

[gray fractal]

Pela doesn't exist for me

[daring raft]

hint: Her skirt is a lot shorter than it looks on initial impression

[gray fractal]

well, it's still rather interesting what they did with Bronya

[daring raft]

‘interesting’
yeah that’s one way to put it

i wonder who’s gonna be the first HSR lady to have hip pockets like Shenhe

[gray fractal]

I think Jean was the first though in Genshin

[daring raft]

nah that’s just an illusion

[gray fractal]

hmm, just checked, Jean is not

[daring raft]

those are just patterns on her tights

[gray fractal]

somehow I thought her breeches had these diamonds skin-colored

[daring raft]

they fooled fanartists good

[gray fractal]

hmm, I remember when I first played Genshin, I wouldn't ever glide when playing in public transport, because the amount of upskirt on my Keq was appaling. Genshin designs are super-revealing. I think I got used to that, but damn

[daring raft]

why didn’t you just shift the camera overhead then

[gray fractal]

it shifts back, no?

like you literally need to hold it upwards intentionally. It was more bothersome than just not gliding.

[maiden escarp]

I don't remember it going back

[gray fractal]

wdym, no. The camera has angle autocorrection

[gray fractal]

I don't think it's the case on PC. It's only mobile-related

[maiden escarp]

Oh

That's probably why then

[clear parrot]

The Vidyadhara have so much cool lore

Btw I think the name comes from this (?)

good thing MHY actually making good money without using all their predatory monetization tactics they employed in Genshin. Maybe their next games would be less FOMO inducing

[daring raft]

you say that like HSR isn’t gonna go down that path like any other gacha once its honeymoon phase has run out

don’t like the 5 jade chests fool ya
