One day, after dinner, while my younger sister and I were lounging about in Mr. Gopher Wood's yard, we spotted a fledgling Charmony Dove all on its own. That baby bird was tiny, it didn't even have all of its feathers, and it couldn't sing. When we found it, it was already on its last breath, having fallen into a shrub — probably abandoned by its parents. We decided to build a nest for it right there and then. However, thinking back, that winter was unusually cold, with fierce winds at night in the yard, not to mention the many poisonous bugs and wild beasts in the vicinity... It was clear that if we left the fledgling in the yard, it stood no chance of surviving until spring. So, I suggested we take it inside, place it on the shelf by the window, and asked the adults to fashion a cage for it. We decided that when it regained its strength enough to spread its wings, we would release it back into the wild. The tragic part — something that we'd never considered — was that this bird's fate had already been determined long before this moment... Its destiny was determined by our momentary whim. Now, I pass the power of choice to you all. Faced with this situation, what choice would you make? Stick to the original plan, and build a nest with soft net where the Charmony Dove fell? Or build a cage for it, and feed it, giving it the utmost care from within the warmth of a home? I eagerly await your answer.

it's finally happened 😭
i can't login once a month to get stuff anymore and wait for a banner i actually want
unless i delete something
nevermind, i deleted hi3 and i can now update for one more version 
but also wtf 54gb
maybe deleting wuwa will give me enough for 2 more versions
but if this continues i'm going to have to remove hsr in favor of continuing genshin because this shit is getting out of control
this is a 500gb ssd 
and the only things on it are minecraft, wuwa, hsr, and genshin
OH HEY I HAD FF14 ON HERE?
lament bramble
and the only things on it are minecraft, wuwa, hsr, and genshin
That's a lot less than 500GB...
vivid moon
yeah i didn't realize i also had ff14
everything else is around or under a gb on here from what i can see
after deleting uhhh
i forgot what the other thing was but it was only 20gb
there's a folder titled "games" that's apparently connected to hsr
not sure if it's actually the hsr folder but it has hsr labeled files inside
lament bramble
Genshin should be ~100GB
HSR should be ~50GB
WuWa should be ~30GB
Windows 11 should be 65GB
Minecraft should be ~1.5GB
That's 246.5. What's the other 200GB? 
vivid moon
that's 70gb
idk man 😭
i have csp on here but that's under a gb
oh shit it's steam library 
that's where it's all going to
even though i don't have any of the games downloaded
166gb right in that alone
lament bramble
Ya probably got games downloaded there
vivid moon
oh i see yeah
lament bramble
Steam alone is only ~5-10GB
vivid moon
i didn't realize it's a folder holding all my steam games and that they aren't just separate after downloading
i guess i kind of just subconsciously assume they're a new folder once downloaded once they give me a shortcut on my desktop 
lament bramble
Ah, so a classic Kc skill issue
vivid moon
how can i have a game downloaded in my steam folder if i don't have that game in my steam library
i also apparently have pico park downloaded onto my laptop but my steam library is asking me to install it ?
i apparently have unravel two even though i've never downloaded it and it isn't in my library and what is this game
lament bramble
how can i have a game downloaded in my steam folder if i don't have that game in...
There's a program you might want to download and run on your computer, would probably help track things down

WinDirStat
Basically creates both a Biggest-to-Smallest list of folders on your computer and a matching visual of each file as "blocks"

Does HSR still release new 4-stars? Or maybe people just don't talk about them? ...
every now and then
but the 5*s ofc get the bigger reels since HSR has more of then consistently ig kek
2 new ones per patch
looks like that's the pattern ZZZ will stick to as well
Genshin is still mostly 1 per patch, but we've had a couple double releases by now in 5.x (or are about to)
but I kinda suspect that's cuz 5.x will end with 5.7 to keep the schedule on track

Mydei is basically ||Imaginary blade||

I kinda forgot he was when they announced him LMAO
Considering all his attacks are ||red crystals like his outfit, I thought he'd be fire||
daring raft
I'll be honest, I did not take him to be imaginary
it's like reverse genshin but to the extreme
even less things in a character's design are that indicative of their element or class type
they're both afterthoughts tbh
I wouldn't in a million years take Ratio as a Hunt type
and some would argue there's barely any 'wind' aesthetics in blade's design
vivid moon
Lol
daring raft
it's more like the HSR team focuses more on "what gameplay trend do we want to put in the 'meta' (cringe) atm?" and cater a bit more to that
when it comes to the gameplay side of things anyway
which isn't that a 'bad' thing tbh
but it gets really funny after a while

Best Hoyo trailer yet you reckon?
eh
a few nice scenes, but it didn't really feel like it did anything with em
of HSR's trailers, personally I would say either Black Swan's or Sunday's are the ones that were done the best (despite me not really caring for either character )
daring raft
I’m more surprised you mentioned sth as forgettable as black swan’s trailer and not SPARKLE
lament bramble
Sparkle's is catchy, but Black Swan's does a good job of giving us new insight into the character
If it was a tier list, Sparkle's would be at least a high A for sure tho 
daring raft
I’d say Sparkle’s does what BS was trying to accomplish but even further ahead.
But BS was nice on a surface level. Gives you a lot of what to expect from her.

BS's also goes really hard on the visuals, which I appreciate 👀

i really dont care about getting "better" teams cause hsr is the worst in terms of powercreep so no matter what i do i will never be able to complete end game unless i pull every new character
gleaming crane
lament bramble
Don't even really know her gameplay lol
I just like base Herta, so getting the official Herta felt like the natural continuation
nimble condor
Don't even really know her gameplay lol
all i know is she puts stacks, ult bases it0s dmg on those stacks, and stacks do more dmg if you have at least 2 erudition on the team
other than that idk
dammit lost to himeko
lament bramble
Rip
Now I'm just saving for either a Silverwolf rerun or Castorice (whichever comes first)
I know nothing about her character, but those animations are peak
nimble condor
im actually not interested in any of the amphoreus cast
ik Ice probably is cause he loves the flamechasers
i personally just want Fu Hua to come to the fucking game
we know about her since forever
nimble condor
e2 himeko not bad for the break teams with Firefox
lament bramble
All I know about Himeko's gameplay is space laser go pew pew
nimble condor
still a shame her passive doens't overstack
nimble condor
All I know about Himeko's gameplay is space laser go pew pew
Himeko gets stacks on break, 3 stacks = briefcase go speen
pair her with firefox and it's fun shit
but the problem is she (and jing yuan also suffers from this) can't overstack
so if you break 5 enemies in 1 attack
you dont get 3 stacks and then 2 overflow into the next
you just get 3 and lose the other 2
this will be even more apearant now that ||suposedly we will get more enemy lines so i assume a max of 10 enemies||
lament bramble
AoE bout to become the new meta

dont you remember that her and himeko went crazy on that mode

Wasnt that a temp event?
Didnt know it was permanent, thought it was just temp event goofiness

nimble condor
Another buff for Jing yuan enjoyers like me <:yoiproud:1074665520378421248>
Yes and no cause he doesn't benefit from more enemies it just dilutes his dmg
Jing yuan unfortunately doesn't do equal dmg to everyone he does to random targets the number of hits equal to his stack number
That plus the not being able to overstack like I said really limits him
vivid moon
Jing yuan unfortunately doesn't do equal dmg to everyone he does to random targe...
No I know, but he still does 10 stacks and his skill still attacks all opponents on the floor

it makes me actually sad to think of just how many times the conductor has gotten attached to a group of nameless only for them to leave over time, maybe due to old age, maybe due to a horrible fate, or maybe just wanted to live the rest of their life on a specific planet
they've been around for thousands of years after all

Oh they are

Damn
In theory this could be pretty nice in execution.
only a few patches per region in star rail was arguably kinda ultra scuffed since
entire planet worth of history, characters, lore, locations, etc.
has as much time as a genshin country
not that "has as much time as a genshin country" is meant to be negative towards genshin, i think genshin does pretty well in exploring its countries
but genshin dedicates that amount of patches towards a country
star rail doing that for an entire planet
I’m kinda curious if the genshin staff might take a similar approach on the way to Nod Krai/Snez, and/or Khaenri’ah eventually
vivid moon
Probably not
daring raft
In theory this could be pretty nice in execution.
only a few patches per region...
Which according to some I’ve spoke to: which led to basically every locale until amphoreus feeling like a glorified city
Esp Penacony
(You can justify it for Jarilo VI and Herta’s Space Station tho)
vivid moon
But there's also the question of if them stretching it out will make it more boring for players or not, depending on how exactly they decide to go about it

I still have everything after the end of penacony to play through
daring raft
Hmm
But then again
This is just as much a potential double edged sword too
Bc if it drags on
Then that’s not good
And I’ve heard similar complaints of part 1 of Amorphus being just that
Esp with ||so many black screens and many puzzles in between to delay story progress||
Idk how true this is for myself tho
vivid moon
Then that’s not good
Yeah exactly
They'd have to figure out enough content for that planet to fill out a whole 7 quests
That or the quests get shorter to make up for it
maiden escarp
And I’ve heard similar complaints of part 1 of Amorphus being just that
part 1 is so fucking long for no real reason
genuinely half of the black screens and puzzles that were required by the story could have just been either cut or changed to be for exploration

maiden escarp
it took me like three 4 hour sessions to finish it
it wasnt bad, but also not having dan heng and the trailblazer voiced took a lot out of it

So for once I'm in the top 1% <:A_WheezeTao:793919527208484924>
Even when you're at the top it's for a skill issue
vivid moon
I know
The only one I'm top <1% is the weapon banner because I've only wished for 4 weapons and didn't "lose" the 75/25 on it
maiden escarp
ive lost twice in a row now on that
vivid moon
Castorice is gorgeous
I love how hard they went with the butterfly theme for her dress
Using monarch patterns for the back and the little burnt bits on the side of the skirt
Also DRAGON

okay found the proper channel

Hello fellow trailblazers
Nah you're still right here lol
lament bramble
0:10... is that a goddamn Team Rocket reference?
Also, Castorice's animations go even harder than expected

DUDE THAT ULTIMATE
THE ANIMATION FOR IT?????
THAT IS LIKE A WHOLE ANIME FINAL BOSS MOMENT
I want her
FUCK I gotta play the game again and get jades
lament bramble
FUCK I gotta play the game again and get jades
Meanwhile, I just emptied out my whole stock on Silver Wolf yesterday 
(she finally got a rerun)
vivid moon
I emptied what I had left to get herta
I have 7(?) tickets now
But plenty of content to blast through to get more
lament bramble
get rekt
vivid moon
I will get the whole dragon crew
lament bramble
there's a whole crew?
vivid moon
Dhil, bailu, now her
vivid moon
Yeah
I love dragon characters
Or rather, characters centered around draconic appearances/companions
They're always so cool to me
Or cute in bailu's case
But castorice??
Damn she is on an entirely different fucking level
When is she supposed to run?
I don't even know when the current version started
lament bramble
3.2, so after the version that starts tomorrow
lament bramble
one version to catch up
vivid moon
Yeah lol
I have Wednesday off, I can finish the genshin event and then go to HSR 
Or actually, I get out of work at 8 tomorrow I'll do genshin then and HSR Wednesday
Would you happen to know if the English VAs for HSR have been having the same AI strike stuff going on as the genshin ones? Or nah since you haven't done anything after penacony either
lament bramble
Would you happen to know if the English VAs for HSR have been having the same AI...
haven't done it, but found a chart
TL;DR: New characters generally safe, main team (the bigger but older names) more affected
lament bramble
how dare u
vivid moon
Sorry, I meant thank you again 
lament bramble
that's better

@vivid moon Don't know if you saw theirs too, but Anaxa (other 5 star in 3.2 with Castorice) has animations that go crazy hard too
https://fxtwitter.com/anaxapics/status/1894222084928155924
Tbh, unless miHoYo royally fucks up/goes way out of left field, I expect both their trailers to be absolutely crazy
vivid moon
oooh his are wicked cool too
but nothing will top castorice's for me
hers is just top tier
nimble condor
im tempted to go for castorice i have almost everything she might ever need
but i wanna see waht comes next
the good thing for castorice is she doens't realy need sunday, like he aint bad but you also want MC and giving castorice 2 advance is just asking for your team to be 1hp every turn
nimble condor
ye she's jingliu pro max
vivid moon
either way, i want that over-the-top ult with all my being
ahh okay
good thing i have a built gepard
nimble condor
her skill eats 40% of every member's current hp
her enhanced skill aka dragon, eats 50% of every member's current hp
her ult also recharges based on lost hp from the whole team + any overheal
vivid moon
oh so if your entire team is at 1% hp it won't enhance anymore?
lament bramble
either way, i want that over-the-top ult with all my being <:A_WheezeTao:7939195...
Waifu Rule of Cool > Meta
nimble condor
oh so if your entire team is at 1% hp it won't enhance anymore?
yesn't
vivid moon
rule of cool >>>>>>>>>>> meta
vivid moon
it's why i have most of the characters i do in hsr lmao
nimble condor
funily enough
gallagher is actually the best healer cause his healing is wack on the way it works
and so he is the best overhealer in the game
vivid moon
yeah lol
nimble condor
he can give castorice her ult back almost instantly
bet hyasine or whatever barbara pro max name is will powercreep that
vivid moon
lol
gleaming crane
so she's like blade but for the entire team?
basically, literally unalives your team and makes them extremely buff
theres a term for this but this is the concept of it
vivid moon
forcing everyone to become a glass cannon lol
gleaming crane
thats half my reason for pulling her
the other half is the animations
i know nothing about her in story
have yet to get there
vivid moon
i haven't finished penacony yet so you're not alone
vivid moon
same
along with all the events i missed
tomorrow is going to be a busy hsr day for me
lament bramble
tomorrow is going to be a busy hsr day for me <:E_ScaraChaos:977593985637941278>
Get a one day head start
vivid moon
i go to work soon though
i'm currently farming for gallagher and clara
i'll try a little bit later when i get home but is the update tonight or tomorrow?
it's tonight right
lament bramble
i'll try a little bit later when i get home but is the update tonight or tomorro...
Update will be from <t:1740520812:F> to <t:1740538856:t>. (Probably ending an hour or so earlier than that)
vivid moon
Shit okay
So I could probably do some tonight and then the bulk of it tomorrow if I don't get too distracted
I have like 6 major events I hadn't done so I got that to slog through
maiden escarp
i know nothing about her in story
Well she is very very bland in the story so you're not missing much
gleaming crane
so ive heard
maiden escarp
There's not much to spoil so her entire character is "anything I touch dies, but sometimes they actually don't, sometimes they become under my control and sometimes literally nothing happens" but I'm also shy and delicate and I'm not allowed to fight
ALLEGEDLY, castorice has an account wide effect that can revive your whole team in battle, even if she isn't in it. It works in endgame modes as well
nimble condor
idk about the account wide thing
ik she has a revival passive that can revive one characters once during battle
vivid moon
I think you'd have to wait until a little further in beta to see how it's intended to work lol
lament bramble
i love how the trial for tribbie uses both hertas lol
I love how it's canonically not an issue to run both
Vs, say, running Dan Heng and his fancy dragon form
vivid moon
absolutely ferocious
lament bramble
Think I've done basically 0 of the story quests besides Ruan Mei's lol
vivid moon
ye
i have 7 events i haven't done anything at all on, 2 i could revisit to finish the rewards, and then the current content + this round of moc and stuff from the mirror + everything in swarm and the other modes they added to the su 
so imma have a blast slogging through it all for tickets for castorice
nimble condor
Obviously herta and herta would work well herta made herta
nimble condor
He's not an ass hole he's just rude
vivid moon
and a bit of an asshole
rude to the point where he becomes an asshole because he's constantly harassing the only people who care about him
vivid moon
the rizz coach
okay this made me cackle
"let me ask her"
"she's laughing"
"she's still laughing hold on"
vivid moon
aww, that cutscene with luka vs yanqing was nice
i mean, badass for the first half but really sweet for the second half
YOUNG JING YUAN
this is going to make me cry
the way igor's en va says this
it's heartbreaking
GOD HELP ME THEY LOOK SO HAPPY
MY HEART
okay, 26 tickets and counting now
time to sketch feixiao because i forgot how fucking badass she is
vivid moon
i did it
vivid moon
Maybe I'll do both and shrink feixiao in the second one to a size that fits the first lol

I don't understand the meme yet but I love it already
nimble condor
You touched to much

I can't believe it took me seeing this tweet to realize tribbie ran through the starting screen for genshin

vivid moon
That and using "twitter" to open the site in browser still works so I refuse to use the one Elon wants us to

i like how well this sums up everyone's personalities
"there's a bomb on the ship!"
aventurine: "wanna make a bet who's gonna die?"
ratio: "k"
boothill: "LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO"
why not just throw it off the ship, since we are currently floating in the middle of nothing and far away from penacony 😭
vivid moon
god all this philosophical talk about life and regrets and the journey we all make is making me sad
man, pom pom crying over the deaths of the previous generation of nameless really makes me want to create that illustration idea i had when i first saw that one light cone that had tiernan, mikhail, and rozalina on it 😭
nimble condor
why not just throw it off the ship, since we are currently floating in the middl...
i think everyone forgot that they are still in a dream
cause like after the story we saw that, no you dont actually die irl if fluffy kills you
so the stakes just disapeared
there is no death
it's a dream
even if the boat blows the fuck up we can just fix it
old hedge
What's up trailblazers
vivid moon
i think everyone forgot that they are still in a dream
The whole point of it was that the harmony was stopped so people could die in the dream now though
They knew they were in a dream, but ena's power ceased so people could genuinely die
nimble condor
Ena was not harmony Ena was the Order
the Harmony is still there
Sunday was trying to revive the Order but we literally threw a train onto him
vivid moon
sorry yeah, ena is the order i got confused
but they still could have died
from the quest and the texts being sent in the group chat while trying to find all the bombs:
Robin
Everyone, please don't make any commotion to cause unnecessary panic
I will arrange for The Family members to prep for evac. But we'll still have to rely on you all to find and defuse the bomb
The Oak Family has always relied on the strength of Order to guarantee everyone that "death never occurs in dreams"
But the blessings of Order are now lost... Its consequences may be unimaginably detrimental
vivid moon
i mean, she says they've always relied on ena's strength to make sure death never occurs, but now that ena's blessings are gone that really insinuates they'd die yeah? that and i don't think that was the only time it was mentioned, just the first one to pop into my head that'd be easily found on the wiki
nimble condor
still a dream as such i highly doubt death is real
vivid moon
have 54 wishes gained so far for castorice
4 more past events + amphoreus left to do
i wonder if i'll at least get to 100 once i'm done
vivid moon
i just discovered something revolutionary
instead of waiting forever for messages to send from NPCs in the phone, you can just click and the messages will instantly appear
sort of like how you press A to speed up text boxes in pokemon games
vivid moon
OH MY GOD
English: going into psychosis from this
Korean: same as English but longer
Chinese: depression
Japanese: sings
lament bramble
vivid moon
I don't know what I expected from mydei's trailer but I will say it was not badass metal and grunge melodies
Although I haven't done amphoreus yet so idk what his deal is, he just looked kinda classy but cool in his drip marketing
I really like them branching out into harder music like this for the trailer though

Same. I just know he looks edgy lol
But kinda himbo-ish too

DUDE THIS IS SUCH A COOL SHOT
also i am so mad i didn't wish for sunday when he came out
i didn't realize he pushed forward jing yuan's follow up attack too 😭
and he works with castorice
it's a two-for
i have 53 tickets so far, i'll try and get him on a rerun after castorice
nimble condor
i didn't realize he pushed forward jing yuan's follow up attack too 😭
Jing Yuan is the sleeper character
bro gets buffed every other patch indirectly
Lightning lord just needs to be turned into an actual memosprite at this point
vivid moon
Jing Yuan is the sleeper character
Truly, he's my favorite
He did what my acheron couldn't when fighting the boss for sunday's bit about saying goodbye to his past self lol
And its thanks to bringing the lightning Lord to the front with every Sunday skill
vivid moon
this dude's eyes have been shut this whole time, i got shaken when they suddenly slowly opened
i literally just yelled "HIS EYES CAN OPEN??"

How much editing did you have to do to make it fit the song perfectly? Minimal?
lament bramble
How much editing did you have to do to make it fit the song perfectly? Minimal?
I'd say ~70% of the editing was just that first 13ish seconds
Not a crazy amount of editing needed, but still a decent amount
Not really sure how to quantify editing amounts since I dont time track lol
vivid moon
Ooh gotcha
And that's fair enough, I wouldn't track time either
I just figured, if anything, it was trimming down or slowing down/speeding up certain moments to match the music lol

Oh, it's not one of those where I could just keep everything in chronological order lol
It jumps around a lot
Mostly cause the pacing of the song chances every 10 or so seconds lol
vivid moon
Oh lol
And that's fair, I didn't notice it changed that often
I think I was jamming out too much
lament bramble
And that's fair, I didn't notice it changed that often
yee, you got the machine gun drums at the start, then a steady beat in the middle, then the guitar ups the tempo a little (still steady), the break, then of course the longer drawn out bits for the yelling (and a few more after that)
Took a bit of tweaking
https://youtu.be/-wm0CwfUBn4?t=66
Personal favorite bit
the grasping hands/"standing at the gates" bit was an accidental "oh this works!" find
lament bramble
I think I was jamming out too much
Btw, speaking of jamming, did you see the official art they dropped for him with the guitar?
vivid moon

Official art 
vivid moon
Suddenly I really like official hsr art
lament bramble
(Apparently the CN HSR account likes doing AU stuff according to the comments. So not canon, but still official)
vivid moon
Or course, but yeah still official
I really like how they still gave him a jacket, it just covers him about as much as his normal clothes

That's not castorice lc it's quid pro quo and we know about that interaction since acheron was added

Idk what's happening in the aglaea one but he owes her pancakes and I agree

looks like she's measuring his waistband (for clothing I presume)

Ooh okay
Sounds about right, I saw she was measuring him but I was afraid to imagine what for just in case
But that's also cute
I haven't seen him in game yet but I appreciate the sheer amount of wholesome fanart he's gotten
vivid moon
There's apparently a second anniversary online event
vivid moon
"even if the snow eventually melts, I hope you will leave a snowflake behind for me"
God castorice is so
AAAAA
Also
This is probably one of the funniest texts in the game
We just nearly died, our train car gets fucking obliterated, we crash landed into the side of what looks to be a church, we have no idea what's happening and we are being stalked, the place looks dead & abandoned and Dan heng basically just goes "smooth landing! We found a city!"
Also pretty
Also I can't stop imagining the amphoreus ring is Mario kart 8
