[grand juniper]

Naisu

He is triple crown im assuming

[reef lantern]

oop

[grand juniper]

[reef lantern]

my standard luck is shit

[reef lantern]

yea he got tripled before anyone else got crowned

[grand juniper]

Ah

Understandable

I should do that too

He is so fun

[rigid gazelle]

I think HT was my first triple crown

[grand juniper]

Same lol

[rigid gazelle]

Ganyu 2nd bc someone had to convince me to crown the E

[reef lantern]

HT barely got raised

chiha is the only reason she is 9 9 9 now

[grand juniper]

Feel like Ayato E and Q are good to crown too xD

[rigid gazelle]

I mean if you like Ayato enough

ya

[grand juniper]

Cause his Q gives NA bonus and each level is 1%

[reef lantern]

ye its on my crown list

[rigid gazelle]

but he's basically in the generic DPS slot, pick one that you like and crown

Along w/ Ganyu/HT, etc

[grand juniper]

Well I don’t crown anyone atm

8 crown atm

Just mora problem

[rigid gazelle]

I crowned Ayaya Q

[grand juniper]

[rigid gazelle]

I mean it's 2x leylines rn

[grand juniper]

Yeah but I’m raising 2-3 characters at once

Lol

Yoi yelan and kazuha

[rigid gazelle]

and you have whale role so there should be masterless stardust somewhere

[leaden basin]

i finally broke up

[rigid gazelle]

[grand juniper]

[reef lantern]

happy to hear it went well

[grand juniper]

Well I just 8/8/8 stuff

[leaden basin]

[rigid gazelle]

I've been going to 9 on new limited chars I get

[reef lantern]

yea i still have 13 crowns so gonna work on using them while i dont have much to do

[rigid gazelle]

and crowning the ones I like

lol

[grand juniper]

Make sense

I was thinking of triple crowning Kokomi

[rigid gazelle]

I have 3 crowns left, and I believe I've collected all of them bc I'm a day 1 gamer

[grand juniper]

I have 8

[reef lantern]

ye 20 total atm if you're a day 1 gamer

[grand juniper]

Dam

[reef lantern]

mm farm esf for yelan sands then back in vv mines

[grand juniper]

Just crown the character you like

[grand juniper]

I been seeing oyaji doing the same

Lol

Never crown

[reef lantern]

i mean crowns are scarce if you have a lot of characters

[rigid gazelle]

Triple crown: HT, Ganyu
Double: Yae, ZL, Raiden
Single: Ayaya, Itto, Eula, Sara, Benn
3 crowns remaining

[grand juniper]

[rigid gazelle]

I regret crowning Eula

[grand juniper]

Crowning ganyu E

[reef lantern]

20 crowns and like 40 smthn characters at this point

[grand juniper]

[reef lantern]

she's c6 tho ? right

[rigid gazelle]

My Ganyu is C6 ya

[grand juniper]

[rigid gazelle]

Tho the E was just bc my 2 other C6 Ganyu friends did it and told me not to be lame

[grand juniper]

[reef lantern]

oh and yea my blizz set is kinda cring

[grand juniper]

[rigid gazelle]

I just threw WT set on my Ganyu bc my bliz set also cringe

[grand juniper]

[reef lantern]

it be like that

[grand juniper]

Same

Using wt ganyu atm

[rigid gazelle]

bliz is a hard set to farm

[grand juniper]

Yep

[reef lantern]

i should just give yanfei tao's gob when i use her

mm actually

[rigid gazelle]

Artifact swapping is annoying

Wonder what year artifact loadouts will finally be a thing

[reef lantern]

yea but also yanfei has 5p and idk what to off piece so she's kinda just been

[rigid gazelle]

My Yanfei is using Diluc's gear

[grand juniper]

Oh yeah you just reminded me

Gotta 9 my albedo E

[reef lantern]

my diluc doesnt have gear

literally just got him this update

[grand juniper]

[reef lantern]

[rigid gazelle]

I went pretty ham on my geo team

Tho I only gave Itto 1 crown

[grand juniper]

Did you 9 albedo

Lol

[rigid gazelle]

Albedo is 1/9/9

[grand juniper]

Is it his ult?

Yeah

Make sense

[reef lantern]

yes

skill is higher priority

[rigid gazelle]

Gorou 1/9/8 lol

[grand juniper]

Albedo E is so good

[rigid gazelle]

Gorou Q ticks does as much dmg as a C0 Yae

So I decided to build him ADC lmao

[grand juniper]

Did you build noelle

[rigid gazelle]

Uh I only raised her to A5 80/80

8/6/7

She kinda not a priority

[grand juniper]

How good is she atm

[reef lantern]

dam can albedo's sands be improved

i have reason to farm that again too

hm

[rigid gazelle]

I do want to get her built but limited-ish resources + I end up wasting all my resin on artifacts

[grand juniper]

Ah

[rigid gazelle]

W/ Yunjin and Itto's gear she hits like 30k autos

so it's aite

[grand juniper]

Oh nicee

I was thinking of farming more husk for noelle

Lol

No itto so

[rigid gazelle]

My albedo basically using Itto's hand me downs

I think it's pretty similar to Vel's Albedo

[reef lantern]

ye i think he's 63/130 or smthn

[grand juniper]

Oh my

[reef lantern]

his sands is cope as hell

[grand juniper]

Mine is 55/160

[reef lantern]

i have a good off piece one that yun jin is using and an on set gob but it skews his crit ratio too much

it becomes like 48/155 or smthn

[grand juniper]

I see

More husk farming I guess lol

[twin inlet]

ok so now that i have a functioning eula build should i go to chasm domain to get artifacts for xiao, keqing and maybe yoimiya

[grand juniper]

Emblem

[twin inlet]

or go back to pf and get eula an actual build

[grand juniper]

[twin inlet]

i have no need of emblem anymore

[grand juniper]

Prob chasm

[reef lantern]

why would you farm the chasm domain

as a person with high ping

[rigid gazelle]

I don't think new domain is even worth it

[twin inlet]

xiao and keqing

[rigid gazelle]

Keqing is honestly better off using 2 glad 2 SR

just go back to EoSF lol

[reef lantern]

just farm vv and strongbox glad

[rigid gazelle]

or VV

ya

[grand juniper]

Actually farm pf for totm

[reef lantern]

ya

[rigid gazelle]

for Xiao

lol

[twin inlet]

ive been strongboxing glad for 2 months

[reef lantern]

keep at it

[twin inlet]

i literally can't take this anymore

im giving up on yoimiya tbh

[rigid gazelle]

There's no end in sight tbh

[grand juniper]

^

[rigid gazelle]

and content drought upcoming soon too

[reef lantern]

start playing honkai

[twin inlet]

either way i'm taking a long long break from emblem

[twin inlet]

i have school ...

[rigid gazelle]

[grand juniper]

Hima farm pf or VV then

[twin inlet]

maidens hell is worse

[grand juniper]

I need to go back to VV for flower and feather lol

[rigid gazelle]

I do kinda want a good ToM set for ZL

but man

that's hard to get

[grand juniper]

Ye

I’m farming ToM set tmr

Done with husk for now

[twin inlet]

every totm piece ive gotten has been double crit and or def

[grand juniper]

Good

Zhongli ult dmg

[twin inlet]

my zhongli has good enough stuff

[grand juniper]

Ah

Not sure then

Depends on what your acc need the most honestly

Unless you want to farm better pieces to perfect them

[rigid gazelle]

If you're at the point where abyss is just a 15min chore, just do w/e you enjoy tbh

[twin inlet]

a crap ton of good 2pc atk

[grand juniper]

Farm shimenewa then

And feed

Bad ones into glad

[twin inlet]

[grand juniper]

Yeah xD

[twin inlet]

after getting so many emblem pieces

[grand juniper]

I mean emblem is insane

Good for a lot of character

Win win

[twin inlet]

i think my raiden is pretty good

[grand juniper]

Oh I’m using 4pc emblem on zhongli btw

[twin inlet]

my xingqiu is whatever

and

i hate xiangling

so

[grand juniper]

Sadge

[rigid gazelle]

[grand juniper]

Well 70k burst

[twin inlet]

OH GOD.

[grand juniper]

[twin inlet]

ok so since i can do abyss easy im just gonna wreck myself and do chasm

[grand juniper]

Ok

[twin inlet]

my yanfei deserves better

[rigid gazelle]

It could be higher

[grand juniper]

Yeah but I’m using hp hp crit rate

[rigid gazelle]

[twin inlet]

for fav proc

[grand juniper]

[rigid gazelle]

Tho that must be homa for 70k....

[grand juniper]

Ye

[twin inlet]

[grand juniper]

My zhongli is like 70/200 140 er

LOL

With homa

[twin inlet]

OH DAMN

[grand juniper]

It’s so dumb

Yeah

He hits so hard and good hp

For shield

Or was it 65 not sure but 200 cd for sure

[rigid gazelle]

Mine is similar, oddly enough

[grand juniper]

[rigid gazelle]

tho HP/Geo/Crit

[grand juniper]

Ah

[rigid gazelle]

4NO too

[grand juniper]

Dam lol

Your nobless pieces are crack

[rigid gazelle]

Ya I don't think I can get ToM to replace them

w/o tanking dmg

[grand juniper]

You can get that later

If you want

[twin inlet]

[grand juniper]

[rigid gazelle]

I did NO strongbox for like a solid 4 months or something

[grand juniper]

I see

Welp azure idk what to farm now

[rigid gazelle]

EoSF for Yelan

[grand juniper]

I have a really good er sands

[rigid gazelle]

Or her talent books, boss mats, weapon mats

[grand juniper]

Or hp forgot

[rigid gazelle]

[grand juniper]

Done

Not talent books

[rigid gazelle]

I'm prob doing 1/9/10 for Yelan

[grand juniper]

Weapon mats idk what she needs but I have a lot

[rigid gazelle]

her weapon mat is same day as prosperity talent

w/e that mat is

[grand juniper]

Oh

Idk if I can get weapon though

Fav bow moment

[rigid gazelle]

Just win the 5050

[grand juniper]

[rigid gazelle]

We'll see what kinda comp mhy gives for patch delay too

[grand juniper]

Isn’t she gonna be the same as xingqiu even with her bow

[rigid gazelle]

uh w/ her bow her Q will hit like 8-10k hits

so it should be more than XQ

• she gives the active party member bonus dmg%

[grand juniper]

I see

Gonna farm prosperity

[reef lantern]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/791080819870662676.webp?size=100&quality=lossless

[left sequoia]

I’m so dependent on the emotes here

I try and talk abt Genshin outside here and suddenly I’ve lost all ability to communicate

[fading patrol]

im soo

Like

Used to using the emotes

That sometimes i write something and instantly try to use an emote

And then i realize i cant

And i just feel this feeling of not giving a complete message

Or that something is missing

[silent siren]

;w;

I feel that with any emote really

[obtuse ravine]

hi hi ghelp

[hidden moth]

good evening ate

[shell frigate]

[hidden moth]

ganyu dn

show them your ganyu paws

[shell frigate]

i did

[hidden moth]

did u strongbox for it

[shell frigate]

[hidden moth]

time to farm WT for oomfei

[hidden moth]

WOWOOWOWOOWOW

how much cv ur ganyu again

[shell frigate]

Uh let me

[leaden basin]

[shell frigate]

oh wait

[hidden moth]

wait a minute

is that sac sword on albedo

[shell frigate]

this is with the higher CV feather

244.9

[hidden moth]

ogae

add 88

[shell frigate]

i lose 70 atk with that feather though

70 atk or 2.3 cv

this with aqua

92/285 with passive

[fading patrol]

Kokedo

[shell frigate]

i'm so scared every time i open up the wishing menu to wish a blue fate away 😭

like what if i slip and accidentally wish on ayaka and get her

and ruin my guarantee

[quartz inlet]

yyou convert your primos into fates?

[shell frigate]

yes

[hidden moth]

optimizer 💃

[hidden moth]

atk circlet

[shell frigate]

no

i don't have any atk% circlet

i only have an Hp% circlet with like 36 cv 😭

[leaden basin]

yeah i convert them to acquaint fates

[pallid moat]

i keep them as primos to remind myself how broke i am

[fading patrol]

I keep them as primos cuz its safer

[twilit valve]

So all switch games with camera controls now have an added layer of difficulty. My right joycon drifts. Specifically drifts downward. Now every video game is top down!

[quartz inlet]

iiiiiiiii think you can calibrate it and it works fine for a while 😢

[twilit valve]

Eh it's tolerable for now. I have a second set I can always switch to that I haven't used since they came back from repair

[left sequoia]

Yessir primos are too tempting

I don’t realize how few wishes I actually have

As it is I’ve ten pulled twice in the past two weeks

[hoary anvil]

there's pros and cons on both sides

[silent siren]

I always convert mine into fates so I know how many wishes I have

Math is too hard when you're looking at hundreds of thousands, easier to think "Oh I have 150 fates, 30 more to guarantee" instead of "Oh I have 9627... How many is that to 90 wishes again"

[twin inlet]

same...

ALSO I HAD A DREAM WHERE I PULLED AYAKA AND HAD EXACTLY 54 LEFT FOR YOIMIYA AND I WAS SO SAD

[silent siren]

KSJXKSJXOSHF

[vast gate]

I’m excited I’m going to eat lunch with my grandma hehe

[twin inlet]

ooo

[wanton coral]

@rigid gazelle

[glacial delta]

few more days and Im done

[rigid gazelle]

Won’t be free for another hour probs

[wanton coral]

[hoary anvil]

sussy

[glacial delta]

after that emoji they left

[left sequoia]

KEK

Sei not getting the girl

[glacial delta]

atleast they responded

[brazen laurel]

finished watchinng the 2hr video abr the omori story cuz i was lazy to keep playing it

sobbing violently

[twilit valve]

oh man its ayaka book day

so uh thats weird, my controller buttons on the ui are suddenly...weird

[silent siren]

i think i know which one you're talking about and i stopped once it said there were major spoilers for the entire video and friends kept urging me to play it instead of spoiling myself

[brazen laurel]

we prooooolly did not watch the same video

cuz the one i watched is in portuguese HEJCCJS

[twilit valve]

I have... 3 runs of condensed to get talent books.... ugh

[silent siren]

oh okay

because there was like a 1 hour and 50+ minute video i saw and put in watch later for it lmoa

lmao*

[twilit valve]

god damn, 3 runs of 4/4 for silver and gold books, fuck you too game

i got like, nothing out of that ugh

i was kinda hoping to at least get her to 5/5/5

[twin inlet]

what is this.

[twilit valve]

it appears to be a twerking seelie.

[twin inlet]

oh god

[rigid gazelle]

[twilit valve]

im doing the achievement for ruining the good signs and oh my god

i did not expect paimon to call me out for pigeon crimes

that commission is so much more fun when you ruin them

[silent siren]

LOL

yeah i did that at one point too and i felt bad yftdhr

[brazen laurel]

HAAHAHA makes sense

[twilit valve]

doing fucking hangouts to get exp books and oh my god this is too cute

decided to do a yolo pull and

AAAAAA IT FINALLY HAPPENED I FINALLY GOT QIQI

[shell frigate]

grats

[twilit valve]

now i have guaranteed so i can rest easy and also...pray for mona.

theres also a very sad reality that shes stuck at level 1 for a while lmao

[silent siren]

yeah a lot of the hangouts are adorable!!!

also nice!!!!!

[vast gate]

ayo qiqi

[twilit valve]

now i only need mona to complete the set

[vast gate]

[twilit valve]

i dont even know how to build qiqi

but its far down the chain of priorities

[reef lantern]

clam

[silent siren]

idk either i just slapped a random sword on her that i wasn't using and prayed

[twilit valve]

I'd rather wash my skin with sandpaper than go back into that domain

[silent siren]

i gave her like glad and 2pc maiden or smth

if you want help with the clam domain i'll help

idm

[twilit valve]

its not that its hard

its that i spent 4 months straight there

for itto

[silent siren]

ohhhhh

[twilit valve]

and only just got out in like late february

[silent siren]

you and me both but mine is the vv/maidens domain

[reef lantern]

i mean i just assumed you probably had some clam pieces bc you farmed so much there

[silent siren]

i spent 5 months religiously farming that domain for xiao last year and took me that long just to get a copium 5* vv anemo dmg goblet

[twilit valve]

i only kept one set, and its spread out between barbara and diona lol

[silent siren]

now i'm gonna be back there again for another 5 months or so for kazuha

oh rip

[reef lantern]

ive farmed that domain for literally every anemo character

[twilit valve]

most of the pieces were so awkward that they werent worth keeping anyways

[reef lantern]

and my xiao's circlet is still the copest bs

[robust tendon]

[blissful ether]

pov: u started summer school and this is all ur due dates

[robust tendon]

oh yeah this happened today

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/926713717389938701/971107629021667368/unknown.png

[blissful ether]

CONGRATS OPPAR

[silent siren]

i never get good pieces and i get one vv piece for every 10 maidens pieces so i can't farm for every anemo character

[silent siren]

also pog!!!!!

[robust tendon]

lezgooooo

but

[blissful ether]

i wanna cry

[twilit valve]

we dont talk about my venti goblet.

[robust tendon]

tfw u go to eulamains to claim ur role and found out they raised the bar

[twilit valve]

also sweet edu

what's wrong eri?

[robust tendon]

[blissful ether]

Summer school…

[twilit valve]

[silent siren]

but i needed an on-set anemo goblet because my glad pieces on him were actually really good

and so was my off-piece circlet

so the only thing i had left was to find an anemo goblet

[shell frigate]

nice +0 goblet, try leveling it up and see if it rolls em

[reef lantern]

he swapped a feather but like its literally only circlet tanking my stats

[silent siren]

rippp

[twilit valve]

[silent siren]

wait holy shit that's cr on that flower

[twilit valve]

what does qiqis healing even scale with

[silent siren]

i only just noticed

her attack

iirc

[shell frigate]

atk

[silent siren]

is it her base attack like bennett's buff or is it total attack though

[twilit valve]

i can stack attack for her for now i guess

[silent siren]

[glacial delta]

I deal like half of that

also what buffs are you using?

cus I see a sword symbol or is that just 4NO

[reef lantern]

food buffs and broken pines ?

[glacial delta]

oh its pines

I see

[twilit valve]

well, thats 4 hangouts completely done

ugh i wish these werent so slow to work through

[silent siren]

yeah

but they're still cute

i bide my time with them

[twilit valve]

theyre adorable, but i need resources and not 2 hours of sitting through the same dialogs over and over to find one specific route

[robust tendon]

yeah pines

and fischl's signature food

[reef lantern]

hangouts only really take me like 30 min - 1h for all the endings?

[robust tendon]

so raiden 4pc ToM, Lisa A4 and TTDS, Bennett Skyward 4pc NO, Pines and fischl food

I think thats all the buffs I used

[reef lantern]

you can start at a section in the middle for them and not just the beginning

[silent siren]

the good part is you can jjust spam click to the next choice and you'll see a green checkmark for the ones you've already chosen

which makes it faster on replay

[twilit valve]

yeah thats what i do

but its still slow, like, just let me skip to the next choice please

[silent siren]

;w;

[reef lantern]

mm the plot in the newers ones are more interesting at least imo

the old ones slogged a lot more

[twilit valve]

diona's was painful to me to sit through, barbaras too

bennys wasnt too bad

noelles was making me want to throw myself off the knights of favonius hq

[silent siren]

i liked beidou's

thoma's was also kinda cute

and gorou's

[twilit valve]

ive only done barbara, sayu, benny, and dionas so far

thoma and gorou and beidou ive been looking forward to because i like the characters

[silent siren]

i remember when they used to be broken

[twilit valve]

but ive been triyng to get the miserable ones out of the way

[silent siren]

and whenever i'd do a hangout with barbara i'd

refarm all the random items on the ground

like pinecones and sweetflowers and stuff

and then farm them again when i was done because they'd instantly respawn

idk if the hangouts still do that or not

idk why but one of the miserable ones for me was sayu

like she's cute but

hers felt boring

[twilit valve]

sayus was kinda cute, i wasn't a fan of the ninja training line itself, but the side routes were cute

[silent siren]

ye

but idk other than the food

[reef lantern]

the most recent 4 were all v good imo

[silent siren]

it didn't hit with me

[reef lantern]

beidou, gorou, ning, and yun jin's

[silent siren]

yeee

[reef lantern]

i feel like they know what theyre doing w them now

[silent siren]

i haven't done ning's yet

i should

and yunjin

yeeee

[twilit valve]

i liked bennys for the fact he literally killed a man

that man is dead

[reef lantern]

of the original batch, his was the best yea

chongyun's was cute too but his routes were longer iirc

[twilit valve]

bennys also felt really short comparatively, maybe its because it had less leg work to squeeze in

im sad none of these give elegance books, dammit, i need more...

[reef lantern]

they all give the mats the character themself uses

no sara hangout no elegance sadge

[silent siren]

it was so quick too LOL

also yeah chong's routes may have been the longest

or at least his felt the longest

because of how much fighting and running around you did to find stuff

[twilit valve]

i know... im just scrounging for resources so bad rn

nevermind, gorou hangout wins by default

[silent siren]

ye!

you get to see more dw

[twilit valve]

ayaka is 79... 80 is a good stopping point for now at least

[left sequoia]

I kept the characters I don’t own for awhile

[silent siren]

yeee

[left sequoia]

So I still haven’t done Sayu’s bc I dont want to get to know her before I have her

I’ve mentally set it as off limits

[twilit valve]

i have all 4*s, these are just inconvenient to me mostly

[left sequoia]

I really don’t like Beidou + Yunjin’s hangouts bc they require you to insult them/clearly and deliberately make the character uncomfortable and unhappy

like. Why. Why are we rewarding that. That’s literally not the purpose of a hangout what.

[twilit valve]

this is not a place i expected to get stuck

[silent siren]

lol

[left sequoia]

otherwise idk most of them were pretty decent. I hate Jean after Noelle’s hangouts which. We probably weren’t supposed to but now i do

[silent siren]

schrodinger's qiqi

[left sequoia]

Oh look it’s my Qiqi pull hiding from me

[twilit valve]

im not used to tiny models, i rarely use them... but i'm trying to get qiqi that last like 100 exp to get to 20 lmao

[silent siren]

lol

[reef lantern]

i dont like noelle's character so

[twilit valve]

same

her hangout is very...harem-y

[left sequoia]

Me hanging out w the Noelle dislikers

[twilit valve]

i did like 3 endings and couldn't bring myself to go back

[left sequoia]

I don’t actually remember her first hangout too well

[reef lantern]

i dont like the way she's written

it feels very much like fanservice for a hyper specific trope

[twilit valve]

yeah

[left sequoia]

I remember Benny’s hangout was some sort of adventurer thing with a domain. Chongyun’s was… some sort of ghost girl? Or the funny ending where he loses control, I liked that. Barbara’s was being stalked by Some D00d.

[twilit valve]

thats accurate

[left sequoia]

Maybe it’s bc I don’t hang out in anime circles that often

[reef lantern]

chongyun's was funny popsicles and exorcising things yea

[left sequoia]

I’m new to sort of the anime style of things

So I don’t have an understanding for common tropes/tires retreads

[reef lantern]

she gives me heebie jeebies bc i know what kind of people typically like that kind of character also i dont like her ideals

[left sequoia]

So… I find Noelle’s devotion and ambition incredibly sweet and endearing.

[reef lantern]

idk how to say it but imo theyre very like... brainwashed by capitalism ideals

[left sequoia]

ideals?

her devotion/ambition?

her sense of like seriousness, the way she falls very in line with the idea of a contract?

[reef lantern]

not the ambition part, a bit of the devotion part

[left sequoia]

or just her existence as a maid and the idea of serving others…?

[reef lantern]

that too

[left sequoia]

yeah tbh I find the way she serves a very interesting and strange character flaw

it’s unsettling. like I’d be creeped out by it if I had to interact w that irl

[twilit valve]

I just dont like the way her hangout feels like a very forced dating sim

[reef lantern]

mmmm thinking ab it i dont think i have an issue with her specific character traits as much as i do with the way theyre portrayed

[silent siren]

a couple of them feel like horribly forced dating sims

makes me ucomfortable

uncomfortable*

[left sequoia]

forced… dating sim?

[silent siren]

like

[left sequoia]

sorry I just don’t get it I’m sort of curious /genq

[reef lantern]

it very much feels like theyre trying to communicate that her devotion and dreams of service are good things

[silent siren]

the premise by the end it feels like you guys might get into a relationship you become so close or there's a lot of romantic hints during it

[left sequoia]

am I too ace for this??? They just feel like very sweet friendship moments

[silent siren]

like dating sims usually have you slowly get to know a character so you can, basically, "date them"

nah it feels like friendship moments for a lot of them

[twilit valve]

noelle's and some of barbara's especially felt that way, like, I dont want to be playing an otome game, and sitting through this dating sim route that's forced for rewards is not my thing

[silent siren]

the earlier ones just sometimes felt like they were pushing a sort of minimal romance

instead of friendship in some places

yeah

the newer ones like beidou and others feel more like getting to know the characters better as individuals

[twilit valve]

like this one is just...shippy, and i dont like it one bit

[reef lantern]

i think its really only noelles and barb's that do that

[silent siren]

yeah

[left sequoia]

what abt the moment in beidou’s where you’re like encouraged to flirt with her a couple of times? bc Beidou is the one that most significantly strikes me as… romantic

[silent siren]

that one specifically

oh my god

so many people hopped on it

and made edits

like naked noelle and traveller under a blanket

[reef lantern]

thats just in her character imo

[silent siren]

agreed

[left sequoia]

I’m genuinely bewildered

[silent siren]

it's more she's charismatic but she still gets flustered when you say flirty things or compliment her because she's like a hardened sea fairing warrior

[left sequoia]

Okay I see how people may have taken this as a ship moment I’m gonna look back at the questline it came from though

[reef lantern]

but also dialogue options in general have those options

its not a unique to her quest kinda thing

its kinda baked into the game bc its a gacha that does some level of fanservice

[silent siren]

ye

[twilit valve]

this one also felt really shippy

[silent siren]

it's why there's so few female characters who aren't dressed to show thighs/boobs LOL

[left sequoia]

I’m also sort of bewildered by the idea of Barbara’s quest being romantic

[silent siren]

the fanservice sells because of horny people

[left sequoia]

I do remember getting that impression

[silent siren]

ye

[left sequoia]

But I also remember flirting w her at the beginning of the quest and it throwing me out

[reef lantern]

theres a weird number of barbara fan in cn at least

[silent siren]

yeah

[reef lantern]

she has a ton of official merch

[silent siren]

honestly i'm not all in it, i just wanna kick ass with these people

[left sequoia]

So that sort of threw me off thinking that because the game punishes you for doing it

[silent siren]

or see what their personal life is like in their jobs

[left sequoia]

Whereas w Beidou it forces you to flirt w her to get all endings

[silent siren]

like imagine if we got to help and see barbara sing for a concert

[left sequoia]

Which put me off severely

[silent siren]

instead of trying to protect her from some creepy stalker for half of them

[left sequoia]

We don’t have to keep talking abt this but I will Think on that

[silent siren]

yeah the forced flirting thing was annoying i didn't wanna make her mad either jfytdhrs

oki

[left sequoia]

I was so ANGRY

I had to Google to figure it out

Even though the check marks were telling me that was the option for the last ending

I really didn’t want to do it

[reef lantern]

tbf this kinda felt like a msg to fans

[left sequoia]

It seemed disrespectful of Beidou

[silent siren]

;w;

yeah it did

[silent siren]

maybe, but it certainly didn't change anything

[left sequoia]

May have been why it throws you out if you act poorly to her

[silent siren]

especially with the releases of raiden and yae and others

the women that everyone wants to step on them

like weirdos

[left sequoia]

I wish more hangouts made use of that mechanic I really enjoy it

[silent siren]

ye

[left sequoia]

Like you can only unlock these events if you have these many hearts remaining

[silent siren]

losing hearts because you made a poor/neglectful choice

[left sequoia]

^^

[silent siren]

instead of the character lik

brushing it off

[left sequoia]

yeah

[silent siren]

getting mad at you for a moment then being all rainbows and sunshine again

[reef lantern]

i mean if you really do so poorly, the hangout can just end

[silent siren]

ye

[left sequoia]

It’s actually only a few choices that do that I think

[silent siren]

but that also happens in a lot of anime/manga/dating sims

[left sequoia]

^^^THAT breaks my suspension of disbelief

[silent siren]

the character gets mad and then forgives you immediately because they're your chosen love interest

[left sequoia]

Like for some goddamn reason Beidou throws you out if you don’t pick her hometown???

[reef lantern]

and about the flirting thing

[silent siren]

yeah albedo is like

[twilit valve]

I just wanna like, play the game and not deal with this total switch in gameplay

[silent siren]

THE smoothest flirt

it's so funny

because he's like the least socially acclimated i think

or not socially acclimated but

idk how to explain

[left sequoia]

I get they want to shoehorn you into learning abt her backstory but

[robust tendon]

[left sequoia]

idk it feels bad and weird and a misuse to make it force you to be practically psychic

[left sequoia]

Albedo’s voice is flirtatious

[silent siren]

ye

[left sequoia]

Like… talk science to me sir

[silent siren]

did anyone else see his lines when you talked to him at the end of the golden apple archipelago

YES

[left sequoia]

YES

[robust tendon]

more like khoi is flirtatious

[left sequoia]

I PUT THOSE ON REPLAY

[silent siren]

DUDE I WANNA

HEAR MORE SCIENCE

FROM HIM

[twilit valve]

khoi is good

[left sequoia]

YEAH

[robust tendon]

cn albedo sounds very serious

[silent siren]

i love khoi's voice so much

[left sequoia]

Khoi is so good

I literally spent 5 months saving for Albedo

Bc. Khoi

[reef lantern]

khoi tweeted ab not even realizing those lines could read as flirtatious until it was spreading on twt lol

[silent siren]

the moment khoi has to actually sound mad as albedo is the day i will melt

[robust tendon]

XD

[silent siren]

because i will nonstop

[left sequoia]

He has this purr to his voice

[robust tendon]

also the man's hilarious on stream

[silent siren]

think about him

screaming bitch

[left sequoia]

Ningguang has it too lmao

[twilit valve]

I love khoi from other stuff, but hearing him in the livestream for gorou/itto's patch, talking about touching gorou's fluffy ears and i'm just like, he's adorable, i love him

[reef lantern]

hi chiha

[silent siren]

YEAH

[silent siren]

YES

[vast gate]

im excited for a new baby

[silent siren]

PLEAE

SE

[vast gate]

i miss having a hedgehog

[twilit valve]

I want a hedgehog

[vast gate]

super cute pets

[twilit valve]

I've always wanted like, a chinchilla or a ferret but my mom always said no to thos

those

I had guinea pigs a lot, smart little beans they are

[vast gate]

all exotic pets are extremely high maintenance though

especially hedgehogs

[robust tendon]

chiha

[silent siren]

yee

[vast gate]

hi edu!

[silent siren]

my friend wants a pet fox

[twilit valve]

i'm very aware, i've been around all varieties of animals my whole life

[silent siren]

but they're like

[vast gate]

i-

THATS COOL

[silent siren]

high maintenance too and can be smelly lil buggers

uyfdtrhseg

also nice!!!

[vast gate]

hedgehogs are like horses

[twilit valve]

also illegal to own in the states

[vast gate]

they like to use the bathroom

when running

[twilit valve]

thats all small rodent pets tbh

[vast gate]

true

[silent siren]

hfjyjtdrh

my other friend wants an otter too

squeaky lads

[twilit valve]

i had a guinea pig who liked to hang out in hats

[silent siren]

oooooh

[twilit valve]

also illegal to own, mind you

[vast gate]

hedgehogs are illegal to own in 5 states in the us

[twilit valve]

are they really

[vast gate]

mhm

[reef lantern]

most of those vids you see of people having otters n foxes n such are actually like rescue caretakers

[twilit valve]

like foxes and otters are both very wild animals that aren't really domesticated anywhere in the world afaik

yeah

[reef lantern]

if theyre in the us at least

[twilit valve]

or even in other countries

[vast gate]

its interesting that african pygmy hedgehogs that you own as pets are technically wild animals but they would literally die in the wild

LMFAOO

[reef lantern]

there are some places that are trying to domesticate foxes but thats not rlly a thing in gen yet

[twilit valve]

lmao

[vast gate]

like they only exist

[silent siren]

they're legal in a lot of states, yeah

[vast gate]

bc theyre pets

now

[silent siren]

and my other friend who wants a fox is swedish

idk the laws over there

at least i think otters were legal

hold on

[twilit valve]

budgies also wouldnt survive in the wild very well, outside of their native Australia...espeically here in new hampshire though, like, the temp is way too cold for them outside to survive

[vast gate]

my hedgehog lighting system

c

cost me lke

$200

[silent siren]

yeah a specific sub species of otter is legal to own in several states

apparently foxes are allowed as semi-domesticated pets in multiple states too

and also fennec foxes it seems

pog

[twilit valve]

as cute as otters are, i firmly believe we shouldn't take them from the wild. They have a very specific habitat, it would be cruel to remove them from it

[vast gate]

mhm

[reef lantern]

just bc theyre legal doesnt mean theyre acquirable tho

[silent siren]

agreed unless it's for rehab

[vast gate]

the hardest part about hedgehogs is you have the research the breeders because ppl inbred them a lot and its sad

[silent siren]

i had no idea hedgehogs have a huge inbreeding problem

[twilit valve]

god, i remember when i got some of my guinea pigs they were super little and couldn't keep themselves warm, we had to get a special heat light system for them

[vast gate]

yeah its really bad

[silent siren]

i only knew about that for certain breeds of cat and dog like golden retrievers

WAIT

YOU CAN

LEGALLY OWN

[vast gate]

im trying a new breeder this time and they seem very genuine because you have like an entire 3 weeks+ process

[silent siren]

A KANGAROO

IN SOME STATES

???

[reef lantern]

dogs more than cats

[twilit valve]

I usually don't look for breeders for any animal, i live in a super rural area so i'd likely have to drive hours for them

[reef lantern]

but some cat breeds have it bad too

[silent siren]

i usually get mine from shelters

[vast gate]

yeah hedgehogs will die if they get too cold because theyll hibernate but cant store enough fat to survive

[silent siren]

rather than breeders

[vast gate]

like why would nature give them the ability to hibernate if they cant hibernate

LMFAOO

[silent siren]

oh rip :(

[twilit valve]

i just use a locally owned pet store that I know is very ethical and good, for smaller animals, for dogs i go to shelters

[vast gate]

also dont get ur exotic pets from pet stores especially hedgehogs

i learned that the hard way

[silent siren]

that's good!!

and yeah

[reef lantern]

chain pet stores are bad in that regard

[vast gate]

mhm

[twilit valve]

the owner of this pet store is like, extremely knowledgeable about everything she takes in and half the animals in her store aren't even for sale, they're mostly rescues she's taken in over the years.

[vast gate]

thats nice

yeah my last hedgehog had heart issues

ive never had anything die in my life

it was very traumatic

[twilit valve]

she specializes mostly in birds though, has a whole area of the store that's just open perches for the large birds

yikes

[leaden basin]

goodmorning ghelp gen

[reef lantern]

gm rika

[robust tendon]

rika

[vast gate]

edu stalking chat

[robust tendon]

[twilit valve]

I've experienced death many times, comes with owning pets, and i've had pets since i was born

[robust tendon]

its literally my duty chiha

[vast gate]

scary

wanna know my duty

having fun

[reef lantern]

he's always watching

[twilit valve]

when guinea pigs die, they tend to have seizures, it was mentally scarring as a kid/teen

[reef lantern]

he's always watching out for eula slander

[silent siren]

i've had several pets in my lifetime and had experienced many of them die but honestly nothing hit harder than our dog who died a few weeks ago

idk why

thought i'd be prepared for it jfytdhrseg

also good lad, nobody slanders poor eula

[leaden basin]

[vast gate]

yeah hedgehogs dont live very long

3-5 years

[twilit valve]

the day i lost my last dog was exceedingly rough on me

[vast gate]

i went to work the morning after my hedgehog died and a patient literally said i should smile more so i cried in the bathroom for 10 minutes

it was a great day

[twilit valve]

he died at like 3 AM and I had a working interview at a local grooming parlor that day, and it was also valentines day... Literally suffered all day working with dogs when mine had died that morning

[silent siren]

i absolutely hated it when customers would say that stuff

like i know many mean well, but they don't know what's up in your life

or what's happened recently

so it feels horribly inappropriate to hear someone say "you should smile/be happy"

[silent siren]

god i'm so sorry to hear that, that's terrible ;;;

[twilit valve]

it was a rough day, but i was hired on the spot and enjoyed the job for the short time it lasted; covid made her shut down as soon as it hit the states because she was undergoing chemo at the time and couldnt risk catching it

and it also opened the door to me finding my current dog

[silent siren]

that's good at least!! but rip covid screwing it up ;;

i hope she's alright!

[twilit valve]

coworker was looking at the rescue's website where she had gotten her dog, and he was on the listings. I wasn't iinterested in him then, but he wound up being the one we fell in love with

[silent siren]

awwww

nice!

[twilit valve]

he had a sister and I wasnt sure i wanted to commit to getting 2 dogs, but then we wound up looking at them anyways and wanted both, only got one though

those baby mice i helped earlier, last week, made me miss having small animal pets. Sure I have the parakeets, but they're more like fish that occasionally fly at us, they dont like to be handled, despite trying to get them used to it from day 1
