What do you call her?

Sparkle or Hanabi

[gleaming crane]

hanabi

[daring raft]

Sparkle

I keep getting fucking confused when people whip out her JP name for a moment outta nowhere lol

[vivid moon]

i like hanabi but because she's only refered to as sparkle in the game my brain immediately goes "sparkle" when i see her

[daring raft]

I like defaulting to Sparkle more since it’s just a stage/code name anyway

Imagine if people called Qiqi as “Nana” often

[vivid moon]

i'd think they were talking about their grandmother

[analog pollen]

Even that doesnt make any sense

She went to university with serval cocolia and duff

And theyre all in their 30s-40s

Except pela

Ultra genius kid going to uni when she was 5

[vivid moon]

i don't know basically anything about pela outside of her kit

i know nothing of her lore

i just know people were really confused about how old she was when things got changed in the story i barely paid attention to

[daring raft]

She canonically skipped grades too

And got special privileges

[vivid moon]

ahh okay

[daring raft]

But recent retcons make it even more extreme lol

[vivid moon]

gotcha lol

[maiden escarp]

clearly this is a great ratio piece

[analog pollen]

Clearly

[analog pollen]

The outfits look so cute omg

New single target chara right before they release the single target mode

You dont say

Hmmm

[nimble condor]

St mode where when?

Can seele not suck in it?

Ik it's asking a lot but I wanna use seele

[analog pollen]

They made a post a while ago saying theyre adding a new endgame mode where you fight only big bosses

Clearly made for single target charas

does she use the armor in the overworld too?

[daring raft]

Dunno

Here’s your answer

[lament bramble]

Ngl, her animations are kinda underwhelming

[daring raft]

The ult is nice to look at the first few times but yeah. I felt more ‘impact’ from Boss Sam.

People seems to be complaining that ||she doesn’t have a proper transformation sequence|| in combat or that there’s not enough ||Firefly|| in them

Also hoping that Hoyo will adjust that but I ain’t crossing fingers this close

Have you seen Jade’s?

||https://vxtwitter.com/dimbreath/status/1787696173639229892?s=46||

[analog pollen]

i really hate how discord embeds dont let you fast forward

[lament bramble]

It does on mobile at least

[lament bramble]

Just watched them. Still dont care for her character, but very nice animations

Reminds me of my feelings toward Black Swan tbh

[daring raft]

Same

Ironically enough, I like Boothill’s even more lol

[vivid moon]

Oh my god she's ||wanderer but with whips||

[maiden escarp]

One of the comments in universe is "I wanna be Robins lapdog"

[analog pollen]

mood

[daring raft]

NOOOOO don’t give me that mental image

[vivid moon]

[maiden escarp]

She seems like she's going too hard on the dommy mommy design

I'll pass

I like her colleagues more

[daring raft]

I only like one of her colleagues and I still didn’t get him

For now

Fu Xuan first

[vivid moon]

Same

[maiden escarp]

its cringe, i hate to say it

[daring raft]

According to a friend of mine her design is basically

"let's checklist everything about a mommy design that we KNOW will get people barking"

@vivid moon

[analog pollen]

shes sleepin lmao

[maiden escarp]

i did the opposite to me

i was intrigued by the design and now seeing her animations, its just cringe

[daring raft]

hope she mutes her notifs then

[maiden escarp]

and yet, it will still sell very well

[daring raft]

I’m at least curious about her role in the story still

But that’s it

[vivid moon]

Agreed lol

Also I'm not sleeping yet unfortunately

[analog pollen]

let's not kid ourselves

GODDAMIT FILTER

[vivid moon]

I tried having Baron sleep in my bed but he kept moving

So I let him out and put him in his crate

[analog pollen]

every design they put out is a checklist of things for different groups

[vivid moon]

after he fell out of the bed and scared the shit out of me

[analog pollen]

golden clearly doesnt check the pet channel

[vivid moon]

This is the face of a bedtime menace

[maiden escarp]

actually im a very active lurker

in the pets channel

[vivid moon]

I just noticed that his nose is so shiny, you can see his tongue reflecting off the bottom of it

[daring raft]

No u

[analog pollen]

you still havent picked an anime to watch

02pensive

[vivid moon]

Bungou stray dogs

[daring raft]

Let KC pick

She’s more creative than me

[maiden escarp]

you two should watch link click

[vivid moon]

Link click

[analog pollen]

i mean are either of you joining?

[vivid moon]

No

[analog pollen]

then your opinions dont matter

catgun

[maiden escarp]

i have to get up early tomorrow

[analog pollen]

it doesnt have to be now

im just saying in general

[maiden escarp]

i dont like doing watchalongs personally

also i also just cant rewatch shows

i dont know why

[analog pollen]

humu humu

[vivid moon]

I tend to be too busy to schedule things with people most of the time anyway

Or just don't have the social battery for it

[polar prism]

someone pointed stuff out in new robin trailer

quite fun

Captain and Traveler

plus "unknown organism"

[analog pollen]

whos that

[polar prism]

imma assume that's just us

aka fandom

[vivid moon]

Who says the traveler assist one

Is it actually the traveler

[polar prism]

yes

[vivid moon]

Oo

[polar prism]

emojis are obscuring it, but it shows a bit later

it is traveler

[vivid moon]

Gotcha okay

[polar prism]

and judging by the pfp silhouette, it's Aether

[vivid moon]

Probably

[polar prism]

and i guess Captain decided to listen to Robin music while he's stuck in the Sea of Quanta

kinda a vibe ngl

[analog pollen]

doesnt that directly contradict the whole thing with tavyet beying thousands of years old

[polar prism]

what now

[vivid moon]

I think it's just an Easter egg

[polar prism]

it probably is

just like the wind glider

[vivid moon]

Considering they're just silly comments on her video

[polar prism]

would be wild if it wasn't

[vivid moon]

Ye

[daring raft]

It’s an Easter egg joke so it doesn’t really matter

[polar prism]

yea jsut trying to understand what they meant

[analog pollen]

in the cocktail event they made a reference about raiden's story quest and said that happened thousands of years in the past from their pov

[polar prism]

huh-

i usually complain about people's reading comprehension, but what the hell did i miss

[daring raft]

Gimme a sec

[daring raft]

if we take this HSR webevent description seriously, and entertain it canon, Genshin's story may actually long predate even the events of HSR. Aeons too (some anyway).

[polar prism]

oh, web event

no wonder i missed that

[analog pollen]

(there's also the possibility that tavyet is a separate planet from teyvat

[polar prism]

i never watch those

so literally Inazuma's storyline

boi oh boi

nah, i'm convinced
this is too close to home

like yeah, Acheron basically says her story is a strong parallel to HI3rd, but she is not the Mei we knew
but we've yet to see any genshin-original character alters, so i am curious how that will go

[daring raft]

You were a kagemusha, Ice?

[polar prism]

no

i suck at using proper terminology and figures of speech

then again, native english speakers often don't do either

[nimble condor]

Counterpoint ||swish swoosh henshin noises||

[daring raft]

Counterpoint ||you can make it freaking cooler||

[analog pollen]

speaking of

i saw a really cool transformation art of her today

but it's a bit risque so idk if i can post

[nimble condor]

you can deposit it in my dm

https://vxtwitter.com/very_hato/status/1787548174615466281

Every person of culture in a patches time

[analog pollen]

i hope you like her gameplay

[nimble condor]

from what ive seen she looks neat

tho it annoyes me that both her and Xueyi will ask of me to get Ruan Mei cause ||break gameplay||

[analog pollen]

xingqiu syndrome

[nimble condor]

and then there's the fact that Kafka is the only Stellaron hunter im missing so i want to get her as well

[daring raft]

It’s the hard gacha life

For us

[analog pollen]

it's the hard gacha life

for you

[nimble condor]

Kafka is the most annoying one tho cause

there is no Dot without kafka

kafka is the dot

Black Swan is good

But Kafka is the dot

[analog pollen]

i mean

im sure you can scrounge up something if you really want to

i used to do nihility runs with a seele team back in the day

it still worked fine

[daring raft]

I don’t wanna hear that from a super HSR modder

Cease

[analog pollen]

lmao

it's not that hard actually

i can show you if you want

[nimble condor]

that's like saying you can play wanderer without Faruzan and not die of cringe

[analog pollen]

it was my most favorite path in terms of overall fun tbh

i loved seeing the opp kill itself

and all the numbers

[daring raft]

You could. But honestly? Playing Wanderer with no shield is even more fun.

Really tests your skill issue

Esp with Burning

[nimble condor]

wtf is a shield?

[nimble condor]

what team do you do with burning wanderer?

[daring raft]

My sibling in Christ right here

But I’d rather Mika if no high cons Jean

[nimble condor]

i have Mike

but i also have C6 Charllote

[analog pollen]

ooo

freeze wanderer

very nice

[nimble condor]

mike is only c1

[nimble condor]

can't freeze the statue dudes on the new domain

[daring raft]

what does C6 Charlotte even do besides Heal more

[nimble condor]

it's pain

[nimble condor]

make more cryo

also c4 gives her energy

[daring raft]

That’s fine. Mika’s only job is to keep HP up, maintain MH buffs, and let Wanderer normal attack spam more fluidly if you don’t have his Sig and/or c1.

[nimble condor]

ok but

cashflow also gives him CA buffs

so i can still do CA spam

[daring raft]

CA Wanderer gameplay

[daring raft]

Never again

[nimble condor]

ok but i have a mouse so

[daring raft]

I said worst chapter of ‘my’ life

[lament bramble]

...I have Faruzan, but never use Wanderer with her

[analog pollen]

do you have wanderer?

[lament bramble]

Ye

[nimble condor]

i find it funny that we talking about genshin here and about hsr in the genshin memes

[analog pollen]

it do be like that sometimes

it helps that it's just like 5 people who are all regulars that know each other

[lament bramble]

Go-to Wanderer team for me:
Raiden, Venti, Wanderer, [Insert heals here]
Raiden does her E, Venti does the big suc, Wanderer presses E and spams CA.

AoE swirl does wonders

[analog pollen]

Im still waiting on kc to answer my question about american sweets tho

[nimble condor]

i mean it works i guess

i wonder if venti can pull the statue fucks

[nimble condor]

what questions

[lament bramble]

I usually use that team on those floors where they spam those mushroom/specter fuckers at you by the dozen.

Anything else I'm either going hyperbloom, Cyno hypercarry, or (now) Arle vape

[nimble condor]

oh ye the shrooms are annoying

my go to teams now are usually plunge hu tao and burnmelt rizzly

the rizzly one has kazuha so he pulls them as far as he can

[vivid moon]

What question

[analog pollen]

check the meme thread smh

[maiden escarp]

https://youtube.com/shorts/6qwyQvOCwKw?si=bxLrc_QaDbMuxW1O

[daring raft]

Wait…

Sunday I get

But when tf did we know what Robin’s view is lol

[maiden escarp]

It's in her songs

[daring raft]

That’s on me then

[maiden escarp]

She has the power of the harmony in them

[daring raft]

“WELCOM TO LIGHT”

[nimble condor]

sunday a dum fuck

[daring raft]

Sunday is fucking hilarious tbh

I lost it when they showed the flashback with him and Ratio

Where they made it seem like Sunday was a smart son of a gun prior, but practically exhaled the largest sigh of relief when he realized how close Abenturine was to bamboozling him over if he didn’t get that heads up

“Holy shit fam, thanks.”

even tho he still got bamboozled anyway

I stg

I’m gonna lose if this guy ends up being the only non playable main player in Penacony cuz he legit ends up dying for real eventually

[polar prism]

Sunday is

goofy-aah chicken-wing boi

[vivid moon]

Wait, there's TWO different versions of harmony in hsr???

[daring raft]

Nah the left one is Ena the Order

They got absorbed by Xipe

[vivid moon]

Oh okay

Didn't know that

[daring raft]

Yeah they’re one of the few confirmed ‘dead’ Aeons out there

Sth sth

“aeon with the broader path absorbs the one with the narrower one.”

[vivid moon]

Yeee

But is order really narrower than harmony?

Feels weird considering order doesn't always necessarily mean there's harmony

You can have order but people fucking hate it

[daring raft]

that’s what I’d like to know tbh

[maiden escarp]

Idrila surely isn't dead

[vivid moon]

Surely

[gleaming crane]

update is out

[maiden escarp]

I GOT TOPAZ

YIPPEE

@heady wadi thank you babe

[lament bramble]

Noice

[daring raft]

Reading the story rn

One thing I really appreciate about HSR’s narrative is how much ||sheer tension you’ll see between characters with just as much weight on opposing sides.||

Acheron ||was faced with the Dreamaster. Literally “Do not. Test me.” On either side and both really seemed to be full of just as much bite.||

[heady wadi]

It was thru my luck

As I won both my 50/50’s with Topaz and Robin on my account

[daring raft]

Ok uhhhhh

Maybe @maiden escarp had point about Boothill

His teeth looked a lot better in his Ultimate but when he’s speaking…

Not that bad when he’s just grinning at least

[vivid moon]

Gawr gura lookin ass

[maiden escarp]

EVERYTHING IS COMING UP GOLDEN BABY

i was wishing for a swordplay and now i got her signature

[polar prism]

ok question

realistically speaking

would March be a Swiftie

[maiden escarp]

yes

absolutely

without doubt

[lament bramble]

100%

[polar prism]

she would also run hands on anyone who criticized her

[maiden escarp]

eh

i think she wouldnt fight about it

i think she would be disappointed and maybe upset

[polar prism]

she can get quite feisty if you didn't notice

[maiden escarp]

yeah but shes not really violent

[daring raft]

A whatnow

Also I wanna mention that I got both topaz and her lc in 50 pulls, somehow

[vivid moon]

I'm sorry but did you read her dialogue from the end of the last patch's tb quest?

Before we go to face aventurine she's just straight up ready to throw hands

[polar prism]

Well

that was an interesting story

[vivid moon]

oh my god you get an achievement for just sitting and listening to robin's song on her character page during a fight 😭

[daring raft]

Boothill has the flattest hiney in all of Hoyo rn

[maiden escarp]

He enhanced himself to have no cake

[daring raft]

“Mr. Boothill, you have been reconfigured with no muscle mass here. No cushioning. For years from now you’ll be basically sitting on your spine. Your structure is similar to a disease called Diminished Gluteal Syndrome, or DGS.”
“I-I don’t understand, what does that muddle-fudging mean?”
“Mr. Boothill, it means you have no ass.”

[maiden escarp]

Well good thing his spine is made out of pure steel

[daring raft]

That’s not good at all….
There’s nothing left!

😭

[maiden escarp]

It's optimal for bounty hunting

Trust

[vivid moon]

I read that as "fattest" and was gonna ask where the "fat" part was 😭

Honestly thought it was the front of him and was trying to see where the back was

[daring raft]

it's even worse when you see it in motion and the recoil of his gun kicks in

https://vxtwitter.com/217x172/status/1788166209365737488?s=46

those rotten scientists really did take everything from him

[polar prism]

Man's just suffering the same fate as Hank Hill

though given his body is mostly artificial and looking at all the suspiciously curvy robot enemies we got so far - we can quite literally fix him

[analog pollen]

oh

i didnt click on the video and i thought this is a kuma case

[short shoal]

2.1 spoilers

[polar prism]

urge to make a fumo plushie of Paimon so i can aggressively grab it by the neck for all that goofy shit

[analog pollen]

oi

you leave paimon alone now

catthreaten

[polar prism]

i will when writers stop making her an annoying piece of flying lavender melon

[nimble condor]

Boothill lack of ass is irrelevant

Because it's all metal anyway

[analog pollen]

fullmetalass cowboy?

[polar prism]

and don't get me wrong, juca
I like paimon
i just don't like what the writers keep doing to her

[nimble condor]

Even if he did have ass it'd be hard as fuck (boothill translation : hard as fudge)

[polar prism]

Gaph can testify

[nimble condor]

Paimon cute but paimon bad writing

She has potential

But like everything relating to genshin

It's wasted

Genshin is a big waste of big potential

Cause hoyo big dum

We gotta get shaoji to write genshin

[polar prism]

i wouldn't even mind it that badly if she wasn't used for "obligatory overly elaborate explanation of literally every single thing that just happened because some players may be too stupid to get it"

[nimble condor]

He might actually kill off paimon

[polar prism]

and even with that people's reading comprehension is lower than Primordial Sea

[nimble condor]

Me when unvoiced world quests

[polar prism]

the one time where i liked paimon especially was during Sumeru Samsara where she was genuinely worried for us

how about we get more of that than her being weirdly rude to every person we meet

[nimble condor]

Paimon is selectively rude

She selects certain patches where she's an absolute menace to everyone

[polar prism]

being rude to Itto is comedic
being rude to Furina after knowing her story is not

[nimble condor]

Furina:big depresso
Paimon: ah ah you can't cook
Me: stabs her

[analog pollen]

bonk~7

[polar prism]

all that aside

yea

cute and bubbly little flying idiot

[nimble condor]

Pompom good

Not annoying doesn't exposite

Only shows up occasionally

Very likely as important to the story on the future as paimon will be

My guess is pompom is the literal soul of the express given form

Which is why he never leaves

He must likely is confined to being a certain distance from the express

[analog pollen]

pompom is not bestest friend

Neither is paimon to me

[polar prism]

what-

i mean i can relate, but what-

[analog pollen]

02shrug~1

[daring raft]

Overall I can decently enjoy Paimon tbh. There’s only really a handful of times where I was weirded out by her characterization. Kiiinda like how she was toward Furina was weird at first, after seeing how sympathetic she was with Navia and even to an extent in the Mary-Anne section of the NZO questline in this version, but I’d really have to review how much in the know Paimon really was on Furina by the end of the Fontaine AQ. Besides that I find her tolerable.

But I don’t exactly relate to Paimon dialogue in the more story heavy quests either

It being an annoyance that is

I find the reception against more exaggerated and nitpicky than not

Especially in a game where, mind you, we still do not have dialogue history options mid convo for some reason for the chunkier and packed sections to keep up with.

But yeah more stuff like Samsara, and Caribert is def welcome. Hopefully soon.

[analog pollen]

good

no friend of mine is a paimon hater

KokoFork

[analog pollen]

omg look at paimon!

catwoah~1

[polar prism]

as i said

i don't hate Paimon

i hate the writers

[nimble condor]

welp there goes that

try to guess which one is suposed to be connected

[analog pollen]

you can mess with them in the settings

[nimble condor]

it don work

[analog pollen]

it's a bit unintuitive but there's a way to do it

i forgot exactly how

[nimble condor]

the bottom one is the one that reacts when plug or unplug the cable

but it dont work

it dont hear me

[daring raft]

She even ||uses this|| in the latest Knave SQ to help ||cheer up Clervie right before Clervie disappears for good||. It was pretty sweet.

[analog pollen]

what happens if you disable the one that's being used?

[nimble condor]

none of them are being used

[analog pollen]

eh?

not even the headphones one?

[daring raft]

Hand reveal

[nimble condor]

im tired of trying to get the headset to work it never works

with bluetooth discord refuses to accept it, with cable it used to but now it wont even react

[analog pollen]

look up some tutorials on this , i dont remember exactly how it works but i know theres ways to enable/disable specific devices to get it to do what you want

with headsets it's a bit of a mess cuz they're both output and input and you have to figure out what's what in the menus

[nimble condor]

it literally doens't pick sound anymore

[analog pollen]

F

[nimble condor]

it borked

[polar prism]

damn

[nimble condor]

i can try my earbuds but my mom says she can't ever hear me when im calling her with them on my phone so i think the mic is fucked on those too

[polar prism]

i been living off of simple earbuds for years now

[nimble condor]

but ill try

[analog pollen]

oh damn

[nimble condor]

im living of expensive earbuds cause i listen to music way to fucking much

[analog pollen]

im not really a fan of earbuds

i use wireless headphones instead

[nimble condor]

i had the samsung buds before and i bought the latest ones but they were horrible so i returned them and bought the jabra

[polar prism]

my roommates gifted me wireless earbuds when they moved to a new place
and yeah, those can be pretty handy

[nimble condor]

ok windows might be the problem cause i can't hear shit on my buds either

[polar prism]

damn

[nimble condor]

lets see if updating the drivers works

[gleaming crane]

me who just likes paimon because of her jp va

[polar prism]

Rozaliya go brrrrr

[nimble condor]

so

good news and bad news

what yall want first

[polar prism]

bad

[nimble condor]

headset no work still

good news (with a bad part to it) earbuds do

i can hear myself

the problem, bluetooth earbuds and headsets have a call mode that activates if you use the mic

but at the same time the sound quality is trash so i can stream myself playing the quest but it will most likely sound bad

[polar prism]

hm

[nimble condor]

lemme test

[analog pollen]

yea bluetooth is not good for speaking

[nimble condor]

alas

[analog pollen]

you need 2.4g for that

and those headsets are damn expensive

i wanted to buy one so i can stream while on the couch

[nimble condor]

i mean my razor one has it but the mic dont work

[nimble condor]

had forgotten to accept this i dont have to restart the stream do i?

[analog pollen]

idk how it works i never tried them myself

just accept and see what happens

it has a counter thingie

THEY believe that things-in-themselves are beyond perception, and that finite entities are incapable of envisioning true infinity, and therefore everything is an enigma.

[nimble condor]

hey guys you there

so

im an absolute fucking moron

remember when i said no matter how i connect my headset shit aint hearing me speak

so there's this button here that's meant to mute the mic

it was fucking pressed in but because ive had so many troubles before that were not caused by it i forgot to check it

[analog pollen]

bwahahahahaha

it all worked out in the end so it's all good

Ars_Pat

[nimble condor]

and just checked ye discord is listening if im using the 2.4ghz transmiter

another funny thing about it

[analog pollen]

i also checked and i found some decently cheap (comparatively) 2.4g headphones

[nimble condor]

the transmitor is usbc

BUT

[analog pollen]

so maybe juca game streams soon?

[nimble condor]

it needs a usbc to usba adapter

because the usbc only works natively with android

on a razer headset

wtf

[nimble condor]

nice

[analog pollen]

do you not have like a bigger usb stick that works for pc?

i saw it in the pics for the headsets i was browsing

[nimble condor]

nope

the headset came with the transmiter

and the adapter

[analog pollen]

this thing

[nimble condor]

and the instructions specifically said, to use it on windows it needs the adapter

the adapter is literally just a cable

[analog pollen]

amazing

[nimble condor]

but it's annoying cause i have free usb c ports open on the back of the pc

but i have to use the adapter, in a way it's good, cause every time i turn on the headset i have to plug out and back in the transmiter or it wont recognize it

razer jank

at least the sound quality is always good

anyway imma go do my genshin dailies and maybe use my resin, tomorrow ill stream the rest of the trailblazer quest

[analog pollen]

also does anyone here have any experience with like usb extender hubs and the like

my pc only has 1 open usb port left and if i end up buying more pheripherials imma need more space to plug them in

[analog pollen]

ye smth like that

[nimble condor]

my pc has a lot of ports

but most are on the back

front only has 2

1 has my external hdd the other has that

[analog pollen]

i have 3 or 4 on the back and one to the side

all the ones on the back are in use already

[nimble condor]

ye just get one of those

mine was like what 5 euros

stuff is cheap

can't garantee speed tho

[analog pollen]

do you notice any performance issues with it

like is there any lag or slow readings or w/e

[nimble condor]

i barelly need to use it

anything permanent is conected to the back

my external hdd is on it's own slot

the extension for the headset is on the back and i leave it hanging int he front when i need to plug off

so i dont have much use for it

plus

i have 2 long cables always conected to the back of the pc, the white one is usb c to usb c, blue is longer and is usb a to usb c

gotta be ready for anything

[daring raft]

and then the proceed to give him flat hiney 😔

[polar prism]

yep

[daring raft]

IPC scientists man

fuck those guys

[maiden escarp]

True, ||I want to|| fuck that IPC guy

[daring raft]

...Is he attractive? 👀

[maiden escarp]

Aventurine is

[daring raft]

I'll wait on Diamond

but Aventurine's alright

[nimble condor]

was it the ipc that gave him his modifications?

[daring raft]

I actually forgot where I heard that tbh

side note

new boss:

lightning weakness
gets screwed by AoE bc it wrecks its turrets
Serval and Jing Yuan mains:

[maiden escarp]

What the new bosses weakness

[daring raft]

lightning fire and img iirc

[maiden escarp]

And it's weak to aoe

That's insane

[analog pollen]

why do you have a picture of a birb saved

[nimble condor]

Jing yuan mains thinking hmm lightning weakness
Jing yuan: refuses to do dmg, dies, refuses to elaborate

[analog pollen]

sounds like skill issue

[polar prism]

don't question the shoebill stork

[analog pollen]

why do you know the name of it

[maiden escarp]

My king Yuan does like 150k, he's chillin

[analog pollen]

but is he bing

[lament bramble]

He's bling bang

[maiden escarp]

True

[analog pollen]

bling bang chillin?

[short shoal]

Anyone done all of the 2.2 story here ?

[analog pollen]

@polar prism

[lament bramble]

Bling bang bang born

[polar prism]

what

[analog pollen]

didnt you finish the story

[polar prism]

yea i did why

[analog pollen]

do you not read the context of the conversation you were pinged in

[polar prism]

i did

so

what's up

[analog pollen]

bonk~7

[short shoal]

HSR 2.2 story spoilers at the end ||I just learned that besides Misha, Gallaghem is also no longer available to message after penacony story. Kinda a... bruh moment||

[polar prism]

i mean

kinda?

though it's different from the way ||Misha existed||

[analog pollen]

are they gonna do this every planet now

is this their response to people complaining no one dies in genshin

[short shoal]

||The fact there's no possibility of them coming back unlike Luocha is kind of depressing though||

[polar prism]

||Gallagher specifically was made by a follower of Mythus, read up on History Fictionologists i guess||

[short shoal]

||Probably Yes, but personally now that I'm having a bit more of the taste of experience, well... I can't seem to vibe with it, even as someone who never complained about no deaths||

[polar prism]

is it really dying if ||the person was already dead to begin with or never existed at all||

[analog pollen]

you know what i mean

just permanently gone from the story in some way

it's fantasy so there's fancier ways to do it

[polar prism]

personally
cutting down the cast a bit is a good thing
because you spread more and more screentime between them and some end up really neglected

so better to end some stories when they've reached a conclusion

[analog pollen]

i dont really mind either way im just surprised they did it 2 planets in a row

i kinda thought yukong was more of an exception

[short shoal]

It just didn't have too much of an impact I guess?

What happened to Yukong, I'm trying to remember. I remember playing her story

[analog pollen]

ugh

maybe it wasnt yukong im bad with names

[short shoal]

[analog pollen]

the fox girl that was actually destrcution chick all along

[short shoal]

Tingyun

[analog pollen]

and the real one was dead the entire time

supposedly

[short shoal]

Now that I think about it

Maybe the reason why I didn't feel as much impression or had a poor reception is because like

I had a poor reception to Tingyun's 'death' in the first place, it was so sudden and... just for shock value

[polar prism]

tingyun might still be alive, that's the issue

||Misha and Gallagher are already confirmed gone||

[analog pollen]

i dont see how they'd make it plot relevant if she was

[short shoal]

I really hope so, because if not it will kind of feel sour

[short shoal]

||100% for sure now? Just like Signora 100% dead?||

[analog pollen]

the only reason i can think of for the xianzhou to be relevant again is at the very end of the story when we summon them for the final fight

[short shoal]

[analog pollen]

and at that point just having a moment about tingyun being alive feels kinda irrelevant

[polar prism]

||i mean at best we see Gallagher in 2.3, but i highly doubt it||

[polar prism]

doesn't have to do with Xianzhou

or rather

[analog pollen]

what else would it be?

[polar prism]

there are other ships

plus it may have to do with Destruction itself, but not endgame

[analog pollen]

you'd think they'd do another hunt ship ?

[polar prism]

possible

[analog pollen]

ig they have to give hunt traveler at some point

idk what to expect on that front

[polar prism]

either way

wonder where we will go next

[analog pollen]

isnt it kinda confirmed to be space japan

theres so many fucking lore hints for it now

in a short timespan

it definitely feels like they're building towards it

[short shoal]

Well, I guess I did get a first taste of such a serious story, which helps me figure out what kind of story I like, but it might not be what other people like

[analog pollen]

and there were also some really early leaks that mentioned it too

[short shoal]

Right after penacony? You sure?

[analog pollen]

but idk how credible those are now

[analog pollen]

why is penacony relevant?

the planets are largely self contained stories

[short shoal]

I meant after penacony patches*

[analog pollen]

same answer

[short shoal]

...

Tsch.

Either way

There are indeed hints about it, but it's not going to come right now. Some ubatcha leaks suggests ||we're going back to new xianzhou ship for 3 patches, so maybe after 2.6||

Could be that, could be a detour

[analog pollen]

i meant 3.x

the next big content cycle

[short shoal]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm sleepy, ugh, sorry. Let me correct myself a bit then

[analog pollen]

you dont have to apologize

[short shoal]

It was supposed to be that, but now either Uba or Dim has said that 3.x could possibly be based off ancient Rome

I hope it's true as an Italian myself

[analog pollen]

oo

funky

[short shoal]

There's also an upcoming codename / 5⭐ character that has a Greek name so

[analog pollen]

i mean there's already ratio

granted idk why he's dressed like that

[short shoal]

To ratio you

😉

[analog pollen]

bonk~7

[short shoal]

OW

.. How do you feel about the story so far ?

[analog pollen]

it's a lot more ambitious than i'd have expected from hoyo

execution still isn't really my cup of tea but i can appreciate the effort

[short shoal]

I think execution and the way they handled it also isn't my cup of tea, but I will admit it was... much better than Xianzhou. It's mixed bag for me.

[analog pollen]

ah you meant penacony

[short shoal]

Yeah

[analog pollen]

penacony in particular really went places

i didnt expect them to do this many different parties in 1 story

i feel like usually in hoyo stories it's just protag + the locals+ the common enemy

penacony had a lot more and everyone had their own twists and shizz

[short shoal]

Was it fun or could be better?

[analog pollen]

i dont see why those 2 options are mutually exclusive

[short shoal]

I do think the perspective thing was so good though

I guess it still has room for improvement though since as I said, dialogue was drawn out at some parts...

I wasn't really much a fan of dialogue choices being quite memey this time though. I liked when it was more normal at least. We're in a serious situation, no need to go cRaZy AbOuT tHeM

If it was the beginning? Yes, since it's supposed to be a vacation

[analog pollen]

like in most hoyo games the actual moment to moment unveiling of the story is a bit of a miss for me

i really hate how they seem to be so hellbent on story moments just being glorified visual novel bits

and npcs are just the same 5 people with a wig and different suit on

like come on you make so much money

surely you can figure out some ways to make all this more compelling

[short shoal]

Genshin was better about the dialogue but well it's still long now and then though. But idk. I felt that genshin was more to point about it

[analog pollen]

genshin employs a lot of cinematic camera tricks to make the dialogue moments feel more lively

which i appreciate

[short shoal]

Maybe that's what I was missing?

HSR animations felt quite samey and without much camera trickery

[analog pollen]

hsr doesnt really have animations in most story segments

it's just npcs staying still looking at each other

with a still camera

and you just click next on the dialogue box till it's done

it's extremely visual novel-y

[short shoal]

What was the biggest gripe? Was it that, or something else?

[analog pollen]

personally for me it's this yea

[short shoal]

Besides this, which feels like quite a big issue

[analog pollen]

this and maybe that they do quite a lot of tell dont show with a lot of the big reveals

but showing would require fancier cutscenes which goes back to the same issue

[short shoal]

My biggest gripe... Ugh, I know this is going to make me feel like a genshin fanboy even though I never complained about it but like...

||The fact that Misha (and likely Gallagher too) are 'dead' or err... never existed mainly in Misha's case which makes me lose a little interest. I just feel neutral about the whole thing. Like it didn't really move me that much. Again, it could be because I've already had poor impression with tingyun's 'death'. I never complained about no death in Genshin, but still...||

||IDK, it was much better when it was more ambiguous, like what happened with Luocha and / or Tingyun||

But this turns into more of a story preference than a gripe

[analog pollen]

what happened to luocha?

i thought he's fine

[short shoal]

I need to look it up but IIRC he's in jail or something. He's not dead though for sure

[analog pollen]

he is?

damn

did we ever find out what the deal with the coffin was

[short shoal]

I don't think so, maybe in future

[analog pollen]

hmm

[short shoal]

I remember JY was fighting against JL and Luocha and he was like planning to throw especially Luocha in jail, then it just ended there

[short shoal]

Sigh. There was already so much drama with stuff like what happened to Wanderer in sumeru interlude quest. I wonder how will fandom react if there's an ||actual character death||

[analog pollen]

i mean

i think there's a reason why all the dead characters are 4stars lol

[short shoal]

...

[analog pollen]

people get less attached to them

[short shoal]

Imagine being 4 star and this happens to you

[analog pollen]

altho i wouldnt put it past hoyo to kill a 5star during a climax story moment

watch it be himeko again

[short shoal]

I just don't think GI and HSR can do it as well as HI3 can do, but we'll see lol

[analog pollen]

i mean people were already kinda going crazy for what tehy did with firefly

but that was before the playable reveal officially

~~even tho anyone who looks at leaks already knew for a long while ~~

[short shoal]

NGL, as petty as this sounds though, if this happened to one of my favorite characters in GI, I'd struggle to not quit the game

Especially if it happened to someone like Yoimiya 💀 (OFC they would never... would they?)

[lament bramble]

Most of the reactions I saw were more "eh, she'll be back. Its only in the dream world"
Since even before Adventurine's reveal, they didnt show a real world body

[short shoal]

I wonder if people here have a character they love so much, that if he / she was killed off, they might quit in reaction kek

@analog pollen Oh are you a Yoimiya main??

[analog pollen]

as you may be able to tell from my role lmao

[lament bramble]

And here I thought it was just for the almost-lore team beige lol

[analog pollen]

did you miss our dear friend ice here bawling his heart out

[analog pollen]

that was more of a very lucky coincidence

but im glad it happened

catpleased

[short shoal]

Stupid question but suppose you're playing Genshin, you like Yoimiya, and then Hoyoverse does something to kill her off

Would you quit the game?

[analog pollen]

most likely not

im a gameplay first kinda guy, only thing that'd make me quit playing a game is if i dont enjoy the gameplay loop anymore

and secondly

i am not against any character death as long as it serves a good purpose for the narrative

only deaths i dislike are shock factor deaths

(and fakeout deaths but those arent really deaths)

[maiden escarp]

This feels like a spoilery discussion

[analog pollen]

if you havent played 2.2 it kinda is

but i tried keeping my comments vaguely phrased

and everyone else spoilered theirs

so you should be mostly fine i think

[short shoal]

Damn, guess we are different. I like fakeout deaths a lot. When it's good enough to fool me at least though I understand if people get tired of it after a while. I'm quite the lore guy, and by alot I mean.

I do prefer when other fate happens, or it's left ambiguous, like what happened with Wanderer... though yeah in that case it kinda made it unlikely to have an interaction with other harbringers or Raiden / Yae Miko (though more likely in former) but better at least

[analog pollen]

it's just cheap trick to get the viewer emotional without commiting to anything

it's basically the same reason i dont like shock factor deaths

[short shoal]

But my problem is that I just don't think GI and / or HSR can do it on same level as HI3 could with Himeko

So it ends up being that if it happens in GI especially to a few of my mains, if it's not done too well, I might very well struggle to not quit out of... ugh, emotional or frustration feeling I guess.

[analog pollen]

genshin probably not

its narrative structure doesnt really allow for another character to really be built up long term

maybe other than paimon or dainsleif ig?

or the twin you dont play as

but i dont really see any of those dying

or well ok i could see dainsleif dying

[short shoal]

Could be that. But I'll miss Paimon if it does happen. Because she grew on me

Dainsleif maybe

[analog pollen]

but we know he's still around at the sea of flowers at the end sooo

unless we kill him idk who else would

[short shoal]

A sacrifice sounds like a good scenario

People were saying there was a good opportunity for Xiao to die in chasm interlude but like

I'm glad he didn't die in the end anyways especially since there's still some potential for him as growth / development

[analog pollen]

sure but that's an extremely sad way for his story to end +for the purposes of this conversation he's not himeko level by any means he barely has any character moments outside events

[short shoal]

An other thing would kind of bother me:

Can you imagine seeing a merch of a character in collab, like CN collab, but that character is dead in game?

[analog pollen]

another reason theyre probably keeping these to 4stars

was og himeko even 5star in hi3?

i know there were like 3 of them

[short shoal]

I think she was S rank? let me check

The Himeko that died was using Vermillion Knight Eclipse or something

And it was a S rank valkyrie so

[gleaming crane]

yea

[analog pollen]

damn

omg hii shoko

W_HuWave

[gleaming crane]

hi

[analog pollen]

you missed me getting confused af earlier in vc cuz i skipped a whole patch of story

[gleaming crane]

i figured

[short shoal]

Hi Showo how r you

[lament bramble]

2.1 was almost two months ago man

Rest was spoilermarked 👀

[short shoal]

How do u feel about character death?

In general

[lament bramble]

^

[short shoal]

Mmhkay got it

[lament bramble]

As long as it's done for a reason and not just shock value

It should advance the character arc of the people around them/advance the story

[short shoal]

Yeah kinda same here but also depends on investment.

[lament bramble]

Even high investment I'm fine with, as long as enough investment is put in the death 👀

HI3 Himeko's a good example. Important character, and her death advanced both the overall story and Kiana's, with lasting impact

[short shoal]

It's why I said HI3 did it well

Lasting impact huh...

[lament bramble]

Doesnt have to be one we've known for a long time either. The Last of Us has one in its opening 20 minutes and its repurcussions continue all the way through to the second game

[short shoal]

||I feel like Misha and Gallagher's "death" doesn't feel like it'll have as much lasting impact but idk; Tingyun's just scream more potential to be lasting||

Need to see more continuation and find out

[analog pollen]

with tingyun part of me is afraid they just didnt want to show a dead body on a screen for w/e reason so they had to write around that

[lament bramble]

Tbh, im not that invested in HSR's overarching story, so I'm not quite sure how they'd make one that'd feel impactful to me

It's been really hard to make myself care about it outside of brief moments

[short shoal]

Especially cause it felt like it ended a bit abruptly and we need to see the epilogue

[analog pollen]

like if this was a normal story yes i'd totally be onboard with the she's still alive idea but given how hoyo writes these stories in nearly completely isolated chapters i dont see how they'd bring her back in a meaningful way

[lament bramble]

Plus I think they realized that chapter wasnt taken all that well. Might be pushed aside now

[short shoal]

It could also be story preferences in the end too

[analog pollen]

it wasnt?

first i hear of this

[maiden escarp]

Oh, I was just kinda skimming tbh

[short shoal]

I like genshin's story because it deals a lot with growth and character interaction or development. It doesn't have to be always so sad or death. See liyue 4.4 event.
Maybe during khaerni'ah or Celestia but I can't see any major death until after Snezhnaya. Then the impact will pay off more because at that point we know them for more than just a few months now.

Idk it might just be approach or style

One possibility is Childe

[analog pollen]

hmm

[short shoal]

Now that I think about it

[analog pollen]

im getting the impression youre saying this cuz you saw other people praise the story for killing off characters, is that true?

[lament bramble]

Pretty much the general community response. I just looked up "Luofu" on the subreddit and filtered by highest upvoted all time, and all the discussion posts are headlines like:

• "A Critique of Luofu: Where's the emotion?"
• "I am really bored with Luofu"
  "The game keeps selling us characters we barely know?"
• "Alright does anyone here like Luofu?"
• "Luofu feels like writers were given banner characters and banner schedule, and told to create a story to fit those"
• "What a mess"

Each with several thousand upvotes

[analog pollen]

ah

yea i know about that

i thought you meant the tingyun death in particular

[lament bramble]

Nah, the whole chapter was a mess lol

[analog pollen]

humu humu

[lament bramble]

Tingyun's death was a nice moment, but felt detached from anything we should care about lol

We barely interacted with her before it

[analog pollen]

im still dissapointed with the whole sanctuc medicus deal

at least we got a hot lady model out of it ig

[lament bramble]

Best thing to come out of Luofu was Qingque lol. Love me the lil gamer airhead

https://tenor.com/view/qingque-fu-xuan-hsr-honkai-star-rail-trip-gif-11796144929863109627

[analog pollen]

BugCatNod

also damn guess my question killed michele, now i feel bad

[short shoal]

I..... would be lying if I said it didn't influence me a bit. I just couldn't really feel as much impact. But ironically enough in some channels or groups I saw some people were more sad / upset about it.

I understand if people liked it. Fair enough. It just didn't stick it for me so now I'm coping it's just limbo

Oh yeah, I remembered another aspect that I liked the most. Much moŕe potrayal of gray characters like aventurine n sparkle

This is something I ACTUALLY wish Genshin had more of it, make more morally gray character like Wanderer

[analog pollen]

the reason why i asked was

average person from what ive seen from online communities does enjoy shock value deaths quite a bit , and/or the mainstream media they consume doesnt normally kill off characters so they enjoy seeing it just for the novelty factor of it

if those things dont really matter to you that's perfectly fine, you dont need to compare yourself to other people and feel bad for feeling a different way

[analog pollen]

yyeee thats part of what i meant in my earlier statements with a lot of parties doing a lot of things

[short shoal]

I'll keep it in mind. I don't feel too bad about it. Just can't relate or understand and that's okay. ||I saw a tweet in which the guy was upset bc he was hoping Gallagher wasnt gone / unavailable LMFAO||

Im gonna go sleep for now though and rest. Is late in my timezone

[analog pollen]

lmao sameee

it's almost 2 am here

[daring raft]

Lightning Lord for stuck in traffic

Pls understand

[daring raft]

So technically ||no one really has gotten killed off|| in HSR yet

[analog pollen]

sure they did

just offscreen

or well actually

there's always cocolia

[daring raft]

Playables

[analog pollen]

top half of my comments

[daring raft]

Cocolia is exempt like Signora

[daring raft]

Vertical slash

https://tenor.com/view/drawing-sword-mizu-blue-eye-samurai-let's-fight-duel-gif-11112287073923542344

[analog pollen]

ooo whats that from

[daring raft]

No idea I just picked the top gif

[gleaming crane]

meanwhile me

[daring raft]

But yeah ||Misha was already dead from what Ice was saying so eh kinda sticky||.(2.2)

But even then

[daring raft]

This inches into territory over Tingyun’s eventual status

We all know the story just treats her as MIA

but depending on how they go about it…

||her having already been dead might not be out of the picture|| anymore after that became of ||Misha||

[daring raft]

Mfw I have spicy ass jalapeños

[gleaming crane]

think itll show better like this

yea

[daring raft]

Even spiecier jalapeño

[daring raft]

That’s still on the table tho. There were a number of questionable foreshadowing details surrounding Tingyun’s abduction and Phantyllia’s methods not lining up with her usual ones according to Welt. Shaoji also confirmed they’re going to give an update about her status in this version from the anniversary stream Q&A so might as well stay tuned.

[analog pollen]

i am aware

doesnt change my stance

[daring raft]

But tbh

[analog pollen]

or well ok i wasnt aware they mentioned her on stream

that's kinda big but eh

might be an isolated side quest thingie

[daring raft]

I can very well accept Tingyun getting brought into the narrative instead of feting brought back (she was never in the story to begin with).
Just a matter of execution on how they want to get us to care after the fact. Since she’s not confirmed dead yet anyways.

If anything it’s characters like Signora I’m admittedly reclutant to see brought back.

[short shoal]

Im back to say signora csn stay dead

[daring raft]

Ok but did you bring snacks for the occasion?

[short shoal]

.........no

im supposed na sleeping

[daring raft]

Smh

The best thing they can prolly do for Signora is retroactively flesh out her backstory in future content imo

Tingyun? Idk but I’m gonna lightly bet this will tie into sth Shaoji teased with March in this version. As well as a supposedly leak stating March would ||have a new form that’s Xianzhou themed with some of their characters surrounding her in the splash art||.

[analog pollen]

we saw the march form a long time ago

unless that got scrapped

[daring raft]

Show pics pls

[analog pollen]

https://mega.nz/folder/53sSBIKS#GbUGepd58UsAaD1lHAVB5A

[daring raft]

Nah that’s sth else way older

[analog pollen]

she looks like march and has the express badge

if it's not scrapped it's definitely a march form

they're not having 2 separate characters on the express look that similar

[daring raft]

Big if. It should go without saying lots of stuff can change in dev.

But the point is, this is sth we knew about ages ago already. The supposed ‘new March’ that Shaoji teased is rumored to be ||Xianzhou related|| that came up sometime later. And if that ends being true, maybe it just might incorporate elements from here too. But we’ll know in due time.

[vivid moon]

I just love it when the HSR team goes full on lovecraftian with their aeon designs

It's so fucking cool and unique

And super interesting to look at

Like c'mon, its face is THE INFINITE STAIRCASE

[lament bramble]

Huh, interesting...

2.2 Spoilers: Apparently ||You can just... skip the Argenti fight if you choose the right dialogue options?||

was unexpected lol

[nimble condor]

I did that on steam yesterday by accident and ice fucking lost it

I wasn't paying attention to the options I actually wanted to fight

[lament bramble]

I literally just did it on a whim expecting him to be like ||Welp, lets fight anyway||... then bam, ended up skipping

I wanted to too ;-;

[nimble condor]

Oh well I haven't done his quest yet so I can fight him then

This is painful to read... I'm gonna pick it

This update decided to make my sparkle funnier

It also took me way too long to realize that, when boothill says "son of a nice lady" he meant "son of a bitch" 😭

I adore the fact they're making this cowboy "swear" but using all the elementary and middle school fake swears

So they don't lose their teen rating

It's amazing

The VA does it so well

I died reading some of the choices this update

According to ice he IS swearing

But his translator is fucked

So it doesn't translate swears

Which is infinitely more funny

Because we know he's swearing but he's just saying fudge and stuff

[vivid moon]

OH HE IS???

LMAOOOO

That's fucking hilarious 😭

His voice box malfunctioning and making him kid friendly

[nimble condor]

Yep
