[calm pagoda]

my losing streak is... two

[twilit fossil]

I mean, it gets better.

[tribal breach]

anyway since im bored out of my mind and i didnt wake up until 2pm today i think im gonna spend a few hours doing exploration

[twilit fossil]

just a lot more red numbers.

[tribal breach]

im almost at exactly average

[twilit fossil]

your numbers are worse than mine, but I've pulled more, too.

[fast pike]

78 Qiqi before navia damn

[twilit fossil]

at least it wasn't 78 Qiqi's before Navia.

[fast pike]

I came out great this time, double early 6 and 26 pity 5 stars, so I still have over 110 pulls saved for cloud retainer

[tribal breach]

that was on Furina banner, when i lost Furina i gave up on her and saved for Navia

[fast pike]

I see

[tribal breach]

i escaped with this today

but i have literally the entirety of 4.3 plus at least half of 4.4 (including lantern rite) to save for Cloud Retainer so i should have no problem

if i could know what was in 4.5 i might pull on this weapon banner, but since i dont know if Itto will run in 4.5 or not i need to be prepared to use 220 wishes on Redhorn

[fast pike]

Just never get redhorn

[tribal breach]

not happening

redhorn is a must

[fast pike]

If you have 220 pulls you'll get it first pity, if you don't then double fate points

[tribal breach]

good then i have savings for Arlecchino

[fast pike]

That's just how hoyoverse operates in my perception

What really surprised me today was that navia is actually tall female archetype, it always felt like she was the teen model to me

[tribal breach]

i would have lost my fucking mind if she was teen model we have so few tall female models

i take that back we have tall females but very few that are good

[fast pike]

I feel we have enough

[tribal breach]

still not one of them is an on-field dps

[fast pike]

Beidou, ningguang, Lisa, Raiden my favorite chars are all tall female

[tribal breach]

fun fact Navia's release ties the number of Geo characters with Dendro, an element that came out less than a year and a half ago

[fast pike]

And the upcoming xianyun, clorinde and arlecchino are also tall female model

[tribal breach]

Xianyun is subdps/support btw 🙂 🙂 🙂

[fast pike]

I feel like pyro will soon have more chars than geo+dendro combined

[tribal breach]

yet another tall female who is forced to be played off-field

[tribal breach]

GaMing and Arlecchino make 14 so yeah pretty close

[fast pike]

3 upcoming pyro chars, chevreuse, gaming, arlecchino and we ain't even stepped foot into natlan

[tribal breach]

oh i forgot Chevrolet was pyro

i kept thinking electro

[neat kindle]

arlecchino my beloved

xianyun looks like a c0-c2

[harsh swift]

[neat kindle]

rest are skipperoni

unless i clown on chlorine

navia's dmg in the trial is actually ridiculous

160k crits with a lvl 80 weap

[tribal breach]

im not interested in chlorine just because i have every electro option i need

[neat kindle]

isn't chlorine hydro

[tribal breach]

no

[harsh swift]

[neat kindle]

wtf

she's blue

[tribal breach]

electro sword (very unique)

[neat kindle]

blue and hydro

skem

[tribal breach]

i think you might be colorblind because that is very purple

[fast pike]

[neat kindle]

she's bloo

what a scam

probably skip then

[calm pagoda]

that's very purple

please understand

we're looking at the buttons

not the vision

[tribal breach]

if theres nothing around her debut maybe ill go for her but if i have to choose between Redhorn or Chlorine im choosing Redhorn

[harsh swift]

[tribal breach]

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Neuvillette. I try to play Ayato. My Neuvillette deals more damage. I try to play Childe. My Neuvillette deals more damage. I want to play Raiden, Nahida- Neuvillette needs them for hyperbloom.I want to play Furina, Neuvillette maximizes her buffs. He steals my Venti for the grouping, and Zhongli for the shields, 5 archons. I spend primogems and resin pulling and building 8 characters for the abyss, he goes solo anyways. He grabs me by the throat. I farm bilets for him. I forge for him. I give him the Prototype Amber. He isn't satisfied. I pull for the widsth. "Not enough crit DMG" He tells me. "I can deal more damage with Tome." I can't pull for Tome, I don't have enough primogems, i might even lose to Homa. "I need interuption resistance" He tells me. "Pull for c1" I don't need c1, i have Zhongli anyways. He ignores me. He grabs my credit card. It declines. "Bow your head." He drops his balls. "Be sanctified" Monsieur Neuvillette says as he starts levitating. There is no hint of sadness in his eyes, he blasts all over my face. Nothing but pure, draconic, hydro application. What a cruel world.

[calm pagoda]

[calm pagoda]

I like the furina ver

[tribal breach]

i had a stroke just looking at that one

[fluid ridge]

ahahahahha

[tribal breach]

xiangling actually has more leaderboards than Furina

[fast pike]

I just imagine some Chinese tourist in Paris, saying that some random dude cause it's the only French they know and they start doing the dance cause they also play jenshin

[tribal breach]

omg omg 20 resin guys what do you think ill get from this domain run

surely 50cv on set geo goblet with atk% and er

i feel bad for Freminet because i was using him as my main dps on my friendship team since he was the only one not level 10 yet but then Navia comes along and Freminet is just thrown into the back of the party to tag along for the friendship exp he doesnt even swap on field

[fast pike]

Double HP, flat def flower

[tribal breach]

if you squint hard enough it looks like a geo goblet with perfect subs

[fast pike]

At least it's the right set

[tribal breach]

its not

[neat kindle]

is that the

healing set

in navia domain

[tribal breach]

yeah

the set is so bad i didnt even bother looking through the artifacts when i threw them into strongbox

[fast pike]

What strongboxing emblem since 4.0 has done to my account

[tribal breach]

i only checked for double crit and if it didnt have double crit it was tossed

[fast pike]

I now own 20+20 feathers of that set

[neat kindle]

i mean most anemo healers will just use vv, rest of healers will tend to use 4 no or 4 tenacity or w/e

[tribal breach]

me with husk

most of these are just "what ifs"

[vagrant hamlet]

You can donate one of the sand to me

[tribal breach]

"what if a new hp scaler comes out that i have an on-set goblet for"

"what if i need crit dmg on an atk scaler with an off-set sands"

[calm pagoda]

hmm

[fast pike]

Beginner numbers, 3... Patches have given me this many GD circlets

[tribal breach]

...

[calm pagoda]

what if there's a geo char that needs hp and Def

[tribal breach]

best crit rate GD circlet i got in 2 months of farming btw

i stg i cant fucking get crit rate circlets outside of emblem

[fast pike]

Amazing

[tribal breach]

like two of those husk circlets are crit rate ALL THE REST ARE CDMG

i spent 1460 resin on the Navia domain and did not get a single crit rate mainstat circlet

[fast pike]

I can't get CRIT rate gladiator circlets to this day despite having Ascended all my chars to the highest level, sometimes it just do be like that

13,2% CD sub is best I can do

[tribal breach]

im debating if i should stop farming the other two midlander weekly bosses

i havent crafted a weapon in so long

and if i feel the need to craft an R5 midlander weapon i have 10 of every northlander billet

i can just convert them

[fast pike]

I'm basically only doing the 2 newest weekly bosses at this point, not like hoyoverse ever releases any new char anymore that needs older stuff

And I literally 9/12 every talent on all my chars

[signal whale]

Me looking new anemo mommy and my credit card

[calm pagoda]

do you even have a credit card

[lethal timber]

The previous calculation is wrong from me, so this is the real one

And yeah it is true, my wishing banners keeps on getting luckier banner by banner that i pulled on

[inland bane]

CR savings gone

[lethal timber]

No worry, you can at least got her till 50/50 tho

[inland bane]

Will have to skip raiden

[bright rain]

This feels like petty

Can we just start with the pity 10 next time? Thanks

[calm pagoda]

why you complaining

[bright rain]

that's why its petty

3 times a 70+ leading to under 20, hooray for the savings

[signal whale]

Now why would u ask me that

Holy shit this is not general

Im Blind as fuk 😔

[fast pike]

Double eyepatch Kaeya moment

[signal whale]

Bahaha

[calm pagoda]

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Kazuha. I try to play Sucrose. My Kazuha deals more damage. I try to play Wanderer. My Kazuha is better at exploration. I try to play Venti. My Kazuha deals more damage. I want to play Ayaka. Her best team has Kazuha. I want to play Furina, Childe - they both want Kazuha. He grabs me by the throat. I farm billets for him. I forge for him. I give him the Irong Sting. He isn't satisfied, doesn't have enough er. I try to pull for Xiphos, I don't get it. I give him Fav. He isn't satisfied. "Not enough EM", he tells me. "I can do more with Freedom Sworn." I can't pull for FS, I don't have the er. "Pull for C1" he tells me. I don't need C1, I have fav for er. He ignores me. He grabs my credit card. It declines. "I guess this is the end,' he says as he leaves, blade in hand. There is no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure, damage amplification. What a cruel world.

there was an attempt.

[signal whale]

Holy shit were u typing this out the whole time

Holy fucking dedication

[calm pagoda]

it's the xiangling copypasta

I didn’t get scam

Did you chart your weapon to Verdict? Anyways congrats

[crimson cradle]

Nah I charted it for mistsplitter

[calm pagoda]

like a sensible person

[lethal timber]

Oh mine is vice versa, got vice versa, since i pull the weapon banner, i dont even once got it according to my selection but at least it makes my acc colourful tho

[minor citrus]

literally 10 pulls

no pity

got my waifu

"First, I can't control my bowels"

The sunglasses when?

Using 1360 resin I only got a niche em sands that only XL wants (I needed an atk one), you got that?

For real? I saw the trial team, and it's very
Interesting
Seeing a Ningg in game

[agile swallow]

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Heizou. I try to play Wanderer. I got into the game the exact day his last banner ended. I try to play Sucrose. I don't have any good em VV. I try to play Venti. I hard skipped him. I want to play taser. He's the most damaging Anemo driver there. I want to play triple Anemo, Heizou is a preferred pick. He grabs me by the throat. I farm billets for him. I forge for him. I give him Mappa Mare. He isn't satisfied. Wants more crit. I try to pull for Widthsit, I only get R1. "Not enough refines", he tells me. "I can do more with Tullatuyah's" I can't pull for it, that sounds gay. "Pull for C6" he hasn't been in a promo for ages. He grabs my credit card. It declines. "I guess this is the end", he says as he leaves, Kung Fu ing his way, french fries in hand. There's no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure, 100k crits on his skill. What a cruel world

Btw, I went coop with Bennett and vaped a burst while using haran geppaku, 50k+15k

[neat kindle]

don't think so tbh

albedo probably a better teammate with the passive crystallises from his skill doing dmg

since her dmg is so dependent on her skill i suppose something like navia bedo furina and a healer would work

on the plus side bedo and navia both have their dmg baked into their skill and will benefit from % dmg increases

[agile swallow]

True

[minor citrus]

too poor for that

[tribal breach]

You don't like flappy bird?

[neat kindle]

tbh if u don't plunge at all on cr she's looking like a jean upgrade

since her e seems to be able to cc

which is great

[tribal breach]

You need to plunge to get her cc

Just EEE Plunge Q swap

[neat kindle]

u don't even need to eee

u can just e plunge

and i'm talking about the plunge buff on the q

you can basically ignore that and still have her functioning as a jean side/upgrade it looks like

[wispy tundra]

cmon look at all those green numbers tho

[topaz flint]

I believe that means a guarantee for the next 5-star, doesn't it?

[lethal timber]

Hold up, i just realised this stats

[tribal breach]

show ur pulls

these are my stats

[lethal timber]

Not that a lot as im F2P , but im happy with my pulls nonetheless

But i believed it is not the correct stats tho as i just discovered the the website 1 year ago, so i had to key in manually all my pulls that i saved on my notes

[fast pike]

Oh nice, I'm in the top 1% of Furina skill leaderboard

[twilit fossil]

all I see is a bunch of failed 50/50 lol

[agile swallow]

It is

[agile swallow]

Lmao

[brave bone]

Соль в вены?

[fast pike]

@tribal breach is there an abbreviation for the new geo set already cause the full name is an abomination that could easily pass as the title of some Isekai lightnovel

[tribal breach]

uhh i dont know of one that the community is giving it ive just been calling it Navia set but you could call it like Nighttime or NWEW or NEW or something

the NEW set 🙂

first we got Gaming Guide now we got the NEW set

[fast pike]

New set

In 2 years new "NEW" set in strongbox

[fast pike]

Any reliable weapon and artifact set calcs for navia out yet?

[simple dawn]

[fast pike]

A6 done

[tribal breach]

OH enka is up

[neat kindle]

idk where this is from so ymmv

[harsh swift]

[fluid ridge]

BOOBS

[fast pike]

Not even 1 piece from the new set yet?

[fast pike]

Big cannons

[tribal breach]

no literally nothing usable

im 1600 resin into the NEW domain and not a single peice above 25cv

not a single crit rate mainstat circlet

[fast pike]

Any 40CV Healing set pieces though?

[tribal breach]

no i didnt even check them the set is so bad

[fast pike]

Upgrade for extra salt

[minor citrus]

is this good for Navia?

[fast pike]

Very good unless you have some other 5 star claymore

Too easy

[minor citrus]

I have this too

[fast pike]

At Level 90 both might be about the same in value I predict

[neat kindle]

why not sac

[lethal timber]

Hello, im back again, this time got WGS on standard banner at pity 20+

Was hoping for Amos or Keqing lol

[harsh swift]

best weapon in the banner

[lethal timber]

Yup, i was wanted this for my Diluc since day 1 i got him

[odd turret]

Finally my meme 'hydro hu tao' is ready

[tribal breach]

only if its your first one

every time i see wgs i wanna kms

[twilit fossil]

I mean it's not like the WGS gets worse when you refine it, you but once it's R5 sure, you probably don't need a second one.

[tribal breach]

i could never refine a 5 star weapon im too broke for that

[twilit fossil]

uh, you wasted way more mora levelling all those to 90 than you'd spend refining them 😛

[tribal breach]

i do not give a shit about mora lmao

ive spent 12 mil mora in the last two weeks

[twilit fossil]

I don't understand how your financial status has any impact on the weapons you've already acquired.

[tribal breach]

it would hurt my soul to see a 5 star weapon disappear

theyre too rare for someone who does not spend a lot on this game for me to refine

[odd turret]

You have a diluc skin

[tribal breach]

i do

it was $15

[twilit fossil]

This seems more like a personal issue than a financial issue.

[tribal breach]

if i spent more money on the game and i got 5 star weapons more often it wouldnt be a problem

but because i dont like to spend more than welkin + bp its not common for me to pull a 5 star weapon, so i need to value them

[twilit fossil]

unless you have far more of them than you would ever field at a single time, then they're completely worthless unless you refine them.

[tribal breach]

i want every character to have their own build so i dont have to spend 20 minutes rearranging everything everytime i want to play them

getting 5% more attack on one character is not worth sacrificing a 5 star weapon that could go on a different character

[fluid ridge]

send a video of this in practice

[odd turret]

With food or without?

[fluid ridge]

no food

[twilit fossil]

aaaaaaaaaaand how many claymore characters do you -actually- use? 😛

[tribal breach]

Navia Freminet Itto Eula(sometimes) Diluc(for funsies) Beidou

[odd turret]

Well then, 5 min

[tribal breach]

if i get Xianyun i will definitely be playing Diluc again

also Gaming is another claymore user

[minor citrus]

last one went into attack unfortunately, but still a good piece for my furina

[twilit fossil]

and you've got them all equipped, so unless another claymore character comes along that you plan to actually use, you've got one useless WGS. Personally I only consider artifacts worth maintaining for the characters that are in the background, it's easy enough to switch weapons if I need to include someone I don't use in my main group. If they're a secondary character they get a secondary weapon until for some reason I have to use them.

[minor citrus]

same with this

[odd turret]

E without buffs

[tribal breach]

id rather keep a 5 star weapon ready for someone i want to play than waste it on a very small damage increase for someone else and then have to scramble to find a weapon for a new character

[twilit fossil]

so just switch the one you've already buffed to the new character you want to play, odds are you're not playing both of them on the same team.

[tribal breach]

youre missing the point of me wanting to build every character

[twilit fossil]

building every character is for whales. If you're 'poor' you're just going to have to share some things.

[tribal breach]

why would i have to share when im literally in posession of a way to not have to share

[twilit fossil]

then quit yer bitchin' about getting multiple WGS 😛

[tribal breach]

i also disagree with saying that wgs is the best standard weapon (whoever it was that said that i forget)

pjws and skyward harp are better statsticks imo

[twilit fossil]

it is one of, and it is undoubtedly the best claymore.

standard weapon

[tribal breach]

well when its standard competition is skyward pride yeah obviously lol

[twilit fossil]

yeah

also WGS isn't ever 'just' a stat stick, it's passive works for literally everyone.

[fluid ridge]

and with food?

[twilit fossil]

which actually makes it better than most weapons in general

[tribal breach]

its passive is a buff with less than 50% uptime that is worse than Bennett and is confined strictly to a claymore user

[odd turret]

56

[twilit fossil]

your point? It works for everyone and it's on a weapon, not a character skill.

[tribal breach]

if youre running someone for the wgs passive you might as well just run bennett instead

[twilit fossil]

better than using a weapon with a completely unusable passive

[odd turret]

14/24k charged

[odd turret]

With food 56 e 18/27k charged

[odd turret]

Usually use crit rate one

[odd turret]

And a potion

[twilit fossil]

because you can totally use Bennett in both teams.

[tribal breach]

if you still need bennett to clear abyss you have bigger problems

plenty of teams that dont need him

[twilit fossil]

then what the fuck is your point? If you're not using Bennett, then the passive still does it's thing?

[tribal breach]

my point is that i dont think wgs is this amazing fantastic weapon that everyone says it is

i think its a mediocre statstick

[twilit fossil]

except it's not

for exactly the same reasons I already mentioned, and you're just apparently too dense to accept it.

[tribal breach]

then we just disagree, im moving on

[twilit fossil]

yes, it's not the best weapon in the game, because every single limited weapon is better, with a few specific exceptions, but it's still pretty damn good compared most of the other free 5* available.

and several 4* are technically better than it too under most circumstances, but your primary complaint is that you've gotten several, which is a pretty sad complaint imho.

[tribal breach]

i feel like its a pretty normal complaint in a salt channel but whatever

[twilit fossil]

nah it's a fair complaint, but you keep referring to it as a stat stick which is pretty erroneous, even if you personally use it in that manner.

I personally want Qiqi but plenty of folk bitch about getting her cons, I agree that she's not all that, but I still want her because I enjoy the idea of her C6 even if I'll probably never come into a situation where it's actually worth bringing her along.

[tribal breach]

characters are very different than weapons for the casual player

99% of people pull way more on the character banner than the weapon banner thus get way more standard 5 star characters than they do 5 star weapons

[twilit fossil]

I'm simply comparing a common complaint I disagree with, not suggesting they are the same issue.

[tribal breach]

moving on

i keep forgetting that i can claim all expeditions lol

wait shit the new event wants me to play Furina SQ

i havent done any of the Fontaine SQs

[twilit fossil]

might want to get on that 😛

[tribal breach]

i might want to finish these first tho lmao

[twilit fossil]

they're going to become increasingly necessary as time goes on

[tribal breach]

Nahida Act I is done i just need to talk to her one more time

[twilit fossil]

also free primos, what are you waiting on?

[tribal breach]

oh boy three SQs to get one more Debate Club

[twilit fossil]

XD

[tribal breach]

exploration is also free primos yet here we are

[twilit fossil]

realistic expectations are reasonable.

yeah... feels like you're just this side of done.

[tribal breach]

can you tell what the only thing ive ever done in this area was?

[tribal breach]

hey everything east of the Desert of Hadramaveth is 100%

[twilit fossil]

I mean that just means you weren't done at the beginning of the last chapter lol

[tribal breach]

i finished the first three Desert areas in 4.1 lmao

Sumeru is just too big

[twilit fossil]

I mean I barely play a few hours a week, and I'm still almost 100% in everything but the two newest areas in Fontaine.

[tribal breach]

i played this part of Fontaine for exactly 1 week before i went to college and this is how much exploration i got

the desert is just way too big

and really obnoxious because of all the giant rocks with no way up

[twilit fossil]

they did fail in some of the travel points in the desert for sure

[tribal breach]

im so glad im done with Sumeru commissions

most comms would take like 20 maybe 30 seconds to run to, max

desert comms would be on the top of a mountain with a single pathway on the opposite side of the teleport waypoint and none of those yellow things with seventeen mob fights up the trail

[twilit fossil]

yeah I hated the stupid weasel bop game. Not because it was difficult, but because they put it in some of the absolute worst places.

[tribal breach]

speaking of comms im getting pretty close to finishing Mondstadt

probably only like

5 more months

[cinder summit]

ayo where did you get that list? did you make it?

[tribal breach]

its from the Adventurer's Guild discord

theyre a group that documents and tests a bunch of stuff with commissions and commission manipulation, ive helped them a little bit

i can dm you a server invite if youre interested

[cinder summit]

maybe later im a bit busy rn but its super cool

maybe one day something like that may get added to the new site

[tribal breach]

i need to start actually playing the game i could be at like 1130 achievements rn lol

i have almost all of the commission achievements which is the part people normally dont have, i just havent done any of the new achievements since like idk middle of Sumeru

[cinder summit]

damn

[tribal breach]

woohoo 1740 resin into the new domain and absolutely zero good artifacts!!

[minor citrus]

just got this, is this good?

[tribal breach]

its alright, iirc its a little bit worse than R5 Catch for Raiden and it has some use on Rosaria sometimes?

i dont think its anyones best option but its not the worst option

[agile swallow]

Its very good nonetheless

Unless pjs

[agile swallow]

I mean, I'm struggling to refine 2 fav spears for a r2 or 2 fav sword for an r4 and you telling me that?

[agile swallow]

Dragonstrike only needs Venti

[agile swallow]

If it doesnt scale hard, a refine is worthless

[lethal timber]

Ooff, that is a lot of red,mine a bit of the same colour gradient i guess
😅

That is what you get when pulling on 4 banners separate pulled getting the latter of your choice

[fast pike]

WGS Nr.4 Level 90 when

[tribal breach]

when my best NEW artifact has more than 25cv

[fast pike]

A buddy who dumped 4k resin yesterday

[tribal breach]

thats half as much resin as ive dumped so far and i have nothing to show for it

[fast pike]

Insane, did you at least get good healing set pieces?

[tribal breach]

no

absolute garbage

[tribal breach]

this is the best artifact i got

which isnt awful but its also not that good

[fast pike]

[tribal breach]

1740 resin (roughly 90 artifacts) and not a single crit rate mainstat

[fast pike]

I'm probably not gonna farm that set for at least 2-3 patches, and after that I've probably lost interest in navia

[tribal breach]

i had four double crit line feathers and that was the best any of them rolled

[fast pike]

Emphasis on "had"

[tribal breach]

foddered a +20 and got like 76EM and 56flat atk, threw that one into another and the same thing, threw that one into another and the same thing

i had a 4 liner flower with cdmg er and atk% thought "why not" and it got a min roll cdmg and then like 25% ER

[fast pike]

Personal bias, never fodder same set, same slot piece into a new piece, my experience so far has always been bad when doing that

[tribal breach]

1760 resin

[fast pike]

Congrats, sometimes complaining helps

[tribal breach]

one good artifact came out of the farming the other day

[fast pike]

Crystallize for Days

[tribal breach]

Kazuha's circlet is off-set so this was a very nice upgrade

[fast pike]

And now imagine if you had been smart and strongboxed VV

[tribal breach]

impossible

[fast pike]

New goblet from strongbox

Updated build

[twilit fossil]

This isn't exactly the same context, unless you have 5+ of those too. In which case I don't think you'd be struggling to refine them...

[twilit fossil]

Not more worthless than more versions of the weapon than you can field at any given time.

[agile swallow]

Lion's roar, passive is 24% and refines are 2,5%

The scaling is minimal on most weapons

Uh, rant here

I don't know who's the fucker who wrote Furina SQ, but he got the cake on the "Fuck you, Furina" train of Fontaine whole lore

Mf could have done all different and everything would be better, and I'm saying this at 50% of the SQ

[simple dawn]

atleast is 4liner with no wasted sub, real

[calm pagoda]

I smell immense cope

[simple dawn]

😭

[twilit fossil]

minimal is not 0, 0 is worthless, minimal is slightly more than worthless. 😛

[agile swallow]

Even then, sometimes it is worthless

[green cloak]

Give it to me kiss 👀

[agile swallow]

Are you serious?

I skipped Yelan, and my only hp scalers are Zhongli, Hu Tao, Thoma and Layla, and only Zhongli would like it

[fast pike]

Level it first

[twilit fossil]

it is, by definition, not worthless. It may not be -worthwhile- but that is a completely different metric.

[limpid crow]

Damn

+20 when?

[simple dawn]

i love artifact grinding, i love when i trow mid artifact just to get even worst artifact

[tribal breach]

🙂

i let my resin cap on accident rip like half a shitty new artifact

[simple dawn]

lol

[ember oasis]

... why would you max a piece like that though

[simple dawn]

5x xp

[ember oasis]

ah makes sense, my bad

[simple dawn]

i mean, atleast is free xp

yea

[ember oasis]

happened to me too quite a bit

[simple dawn]

i was throwing away a flower with cd that rolled once

it have er and em, but is 3 liner and flat def

it somewhat mid, and ye, that atk sand definitely worst

[tribal breach]

what if it rolled 40cdmg

[fast pike]

Yeah it's a MH ATK sands with CD, I'd go for +12 on a piece like that and then proceed if I get at least 2 CD rolls

[twilit fossil]

I'd still rather roll something with at least 2 non-trash stats, got lucky with EM, I'd have dumped it just for having double trash stat.

[tribal breach]

Guys it was a joke I would roll that piece to +4 and toss it if no crate

[twilit fossil]

that's crate.

[agile swallow]

Never, I don't have anyone to use it

[limpid crow]

Hey, dumbfuck, we can see your dumbfuck scam link

[spiral oyster]

Just got my first ever 5 star sword Mistsplitter!!!! Look at my Keqing now!!

[simple dawn]

very nice

[tribal breach]

I wanna pull on the weapon banner but I also don't want to at the same time

Maybe I should just do it

[fast pike]

Just do it

Redhorn ain't coming back ever again anyways

[ember oasis]

itto's definitely gonna get a rerun what are you on about lol

[agile swallow]

He's messing with him

[fast pike]

Irony is some people's Achilles heel

Also I love to fuel people's gambling addiction

[ember oasis]

ah mb

[tribal breach]

not till like 4.5 at the earliest

i got a ton of time

pulling on weapon risks Xianyun but also i dont really know how i feel about her anyway

[simple dawn]

😭

[fast pike]

Let me help you with that https://youtu.be/3xA2fq23AoA?si=fR8LLBRUDWsBYHR6

[shrewd oriole]

at last I can use this that I got since I started playing

I got her after I completed her story quest so that's cool (although I used my guarantee)

[agile swallow]

For what?

Only good weap banner was at Lyneys patch

And Ayato+Cyno

Should I wait till they announce the next banner to pull on the limited 5stars?

I swear I do not know how

But I was running my friendship team (Ayato Kuki XL and sucrose with no artifacts) and I saw a 19k blue hit in emblem domain

Meaning

Ayato critted

Like

19k

Ok it happened again

Sucrose ttds E, XL EQ, Ayato QE

17k

[calm pagoda]

sounds about right

...except there's no bennett?

[tribal breach]

ur insane almost all of these weapon banners have been good

Tome + Homa
Cashflow + Elegy

[calm pagoda]

I kinda wish I got a cashflow for Yanfei lol, apparently she's good with it and furina

[tribal breach]

Cashflow is kinda niche but if you have Furina its busted

[agile swallow]

No

But I'm laggy, idk

I just recorded, but I'm baffled

Dang it

I'll record it, but even the rotation was badly done

[calm pagoda]

yea usually you wanna guoba swirl

[agile swallow]

5stars, indeed, 4stars? Not so much

[agile swallow]

Sucrose has no artifacts

[tribal breach]

idc about the 4 stars

also this banner has Akuoumaru

[agile swallow]

Cap 3 arti, not leveled

And didn't swirl anything

[calm pagoda]

bruh moment

[agile swallow]

I mean, I do have Haran on Ayato

But

?????

[agile swallow]

And the flute

I should say "recorder" cuz it's not living it up

[agile swallow]

The only possible explanation is a vape

A VERY strong vape

[tribal breach]

fuck it we ball i have some pity on weapon anyway i can recover

[agile swallow]

NOOOO

Don't

Don't you dare

[tribal breach]

you cannot stop me

[agile swallow]

Redhorn can

[tribal breach]

navia needs her axe

[agile swallow]

It will

[agile swallow]

You have serpent spine you greedy bastard

You homa wrecker

You son of a cashflow

[tribal breach]

my addiction is unstoppable

[agile swallow]

Ok I'll do the recording tomorrow, my internet is shite rn

[calm pagoda]

your wallet is prob your stopping point

[agile swallow]

By definition it's not

[tribal breach]

W

[agile swallow]

Cuz you'll need kiss shot funds to do so

[agile swallow]

Dude where is your respect?

[tribal breach]

gone

[calm pagoda]

nice

[tribal breach]

MSR is a much better weapon than axe anyway

[agile swallow]

And Redhorn?

[tribal breach]

ill still have enough

[agile swallow]

L M A O

[agile swallow]

How many wishes you dumped?

[tribal breach]

only 50

i still have 40

[agile swallow]

Bruhhhhh

[calm pagoda]

I'm thinking about whether to pull redhorn

[tribal breach]

plus a years worth of unexplored regions, every world quest since 3.2, every character quest from Sumeru and Fontaine, over 200 achievements

[agile swallow]

Not worth it

[tribal breach]

im also welkin + bp enjoyer so ill have a lot more wishes from that

at minimum i have another 11 weeks to save

[calm pagoda]

when is albedo coming back

[tribal breach]

4.5 is the earliest estimation

[agile swallow]

Not
Worth
It

[calm pagoda]

I want my pjc

[tribal breach]

you mean summit shaper?

[agile swallow]

Ah, yes, Navia Sig

[tribal breach]

wrong yellow sword

[calm pagoda]

pls no

I want pjc

[tribal breach]

my sword collection so sexy

[agile swallow]

Bruh, Bennett upgrade

Still

Bruhhhhh

[tribal breach]

i think you mean Ayaka?

[agile swallow]

You have her?

[tribal breach]

no no NO NO NO NO NO NO

[tribal breach]

yeah

[agile swallow]

Oh brother

I mean

I'll prob do another run for those, like

2 talents to 9 and 80/90 if I pull for Raiden

I wanna do it tho

[tribal breach]

fuck this shits gonna take so much resin to ascend

[agile swallow]

But I'm thinking of waiting to see next patch 5stars to go nuts with wishes

[tribal breach]

also also R5 useless bow 🙂

R2 Akuoumaru

[calm pagoda]

:P

[tribal breach]

i hope both sides of your pillow are warm tonight

[calm pagoda]

tonight is a while away

[tribal breach]

...same

[calm pagoda]

more than half a day away

[tribal breach]

not that much

ill be up till 4am server reset probably

[agile swallow]

Are you trying to kill him or flirting?

[calm pagoda]

never understood the warm pillow thing

[tribal breach]

[agile swallow]

Idk, I'm not gay

Or from USA

[tribal breach]

most people find cold pillows more comfortable, and people like to flip over their pillow when it gets warm for the cold side

[agile swallow]

Ahhh

Yeah, you were flirting

[tribal breach]

wishing someones pillow is warm is wishing them an annoying discomfort when they sleep

[agile swallow]

Yeah, ofc

[calm pagoda]

wha-

I can sleep with only the fan in tropical weather

I'll be fine

[tribal breach]

anyway time to do the handguard route for the ten billionth time

ill be back after murdering 100 samurai

[agile swallow]

He wont

[fast pike]

Thank you for your business

[tribal breach]

serviceable number i guess

alright i only need the resin mats for msr

[simple dawn]

😭

[tribal breach]

jenshin moment

i keep opening the banner again to check if my history updated and i impulsively move to the bottom right instead of the bottom left

[tribal breach]

still way below percent average and still below 75:25

5 on-banners in a row tho

[fluid ridge]

I have one of these 15/15

😦

[wispy tundra]

all of them going either hp or flat def

it will be better at 20+ for sure

[fast pike]

Done, now all my chars are A6 Ascended again on my account

Missing friendship 10 on 3 and then everyone will be done

[agile swallow]

Holy

[agile swallow]

Wdym?

Mother of dear God

They really went and put THAT on the script

I'm positively sure that one of the upshots in the writing dept. hates Furina with everything Bennett's burst has to offer

[calm pagoda]

I'm sorry, what

[agile swallow]

Furina talks about swaying waves at Fontaine, and goes "oh, wait, not murdering drowning waves", and they go and give Paimon the honors to deliver that amazing line

"bit traumatized"

My blood boils

[fast pike]

Lol, in Navias Storyquest she is even worse, just casually picking the wound of her dead parents

But then again paimon is mentally a child, so no filter, just shoots whatever thought runs through her infantile mind

[agile swallow]

Holy shit

[fast pike]

Like, how is your mom, oh sorry I forgot she died giving birth to you

[agile swallow]

Now I know why House of the Hearth is in Fontaine, place be damned

[agile swallow]

WHAT?

Ok look

[fast pike]

Well at least she had melus and Silver to take care of her, oops they died too

[agile swallow]

I'm not going to play SQ after Neuv unless I want exploration points

Cuz dude, what the hell?

[fast pike]

You should do the world quest that you can get at the steam bird, that's got some really messed up family situation

[agile swallow]

Nah, messed up is Eleazar hospital quest

THAT'S the real deal

[fast pike]

Dude gets the dad of the century award ahead of thanos

[agile swallow]

They peaked

In that quest

[agile swallow]

Yes, I'm aware

Narisenkrautz it's pretty messed

[fast pike]

Like who in genshin even has parents that are alive?

[neat kindle]

klee

[agile swallow]

The entirety of Liyue, sans Zhongli and Qiqi, a god and a +1k years old zombie

Every 4star in Inazuma

everyone in mondstad sans Razor, Bennett, Diluc and Kaeya

Yeah, Zhongli did a good work

Now that I think of, Sumeru is less of an orphanage than Fontaine by the sheer will of Layla and Dori

Hell, imagine that Liyue is like the best part of your world, and it's patron saint decided to launch a nuke to prove it

I mean, the older I grew, the more Zhongli was right, 💀💀💀

[remote otter]

meanwhile tsurumi and enka

hm yes i do love myself some ||child sacrifice||

[agile swallow]

Tsurumi was zzzzz

[remote otter]

cn description was pretty funny

[agile swallow]

I haven't finished Enka

[remote otter]

poor kid was ||butchered like an animal and drained of blood to be offered to the bird||

truly one of the hoyo stories of all time

[fast pike]

Then why is hu tao boss of wangsheng funeral parlor if her parents were alive

Literally xiangling is the only one who has a living parent in liyue, and in mondstadt it's Diona, for Inazuma only Yoimiyas dad has been seen so far

[agile swallow]

Yeah, Tao too

[neat kindle]

klee...

[agile swallow]

Look up characters

[remote otter]

eleazar hospital is not as bad as some of the actually deranged stories hoyo has come up with in the past

but ye the game is starting to get a lil darker at least on the AQ side

[agile swallow]

Every other has their parents alive

[fast pike]

Hasn't been seen yet and questionable allegiance to mondstadt

[harsh swift]

she's a mondstadt char

[agile swallow]

Has been heard tho

[harsh swift]

entire events based around her too

[remote otter]

klee does not have confirmed father

[fast pike]

She just left Klee with the knights of favonius, where she really comes from or belongs to is not known yet

[agile swallow]

I remember that she said smth about their (both) parents

[agile swallow]

Not a descender

[fast pike]

Ayaka and ayato would like to have a word about that

[remote otter]

klee’s father has literally never been mentioned ingame idk what ur on about

[neat kindle]

??

[agile swallow]

Point being, Liyue is the anti orphanage in Teyvat

[neat kindle]

but klee is a mond char

[agile swallow]

Said L I Y U E

[fast pike]

Sara was adopted by the kujou family

[neat kindle]

she's in mond

[harsh swift]

[remote otter]

[neat kindle]

adopted parents are parents...

[agile swallow]

On broad line, not specifically about him

[neat kindle]

[fast pike]

Also dead adopted parents

[agile swallow]

They're still parents

[fast pike]

Kokomi wouldn't be the boss of watatsumi island if her parents were still alive

Sayu is basically an orphan

[agile swallow]

Kokomi a 4star

[agile swallow]

Ok, curve ball, but she has relatives taking care of her

[fast pike]

Start of discussion was characters with alive parents

[agile swallow]

And I said

[fast pike]

In reference to Inazuma 4 stars I specifically mentioned sara

[agile swallow]

This

[fast pike]

Thoma is also an orphan taken in by the kamisato family

[agile swallow]

Hell no, he has mom back home

Yeah, daddy issues, but his mom is alive

Or daddy ensues

[fast pike]

Didn't he go overboard a ship and was rescued by the kamisato family

Like why would he stay with them if he still has a family

At least that's how I interpreted it, but it's not mentioned in specific as far as I know so could be different

[agile swallow]

He went there to know his whereabouts

[vagrant hamlet]

ain't shenhe and ganyu adopted by cloud retainer

[fast pike]

Shenhes biological family was just trash, glad they got what they deserved

[vagrant hamlet]

yea, they just throw her away, and CR takes care of shenhe instead

[fast pike]

Beidou also had a messed up childhood, being called cursed and abandoned by her village

[agile swallow]

But their parents are alive

[agile swallow]

This

[fast pike]

If you did her hangout you'd know the village where she grew up was destroyed

[agile swallow]

What's a hangout event? Are they canon?

Pfff

Dude I didn't know about that

That's rough

[fast pike]

One of the endings takes you to this spot and there she tells you about her past, it doesn't specifically mention parents just that she was an outcast in her village, so she might have been an orphan in the first place that the villagers just used to abuse as a scapegoat for everything bad

[agile swallow]

I know, I haven't played any hangout

Just got the achievement of doing the good ending of Bennett's at first try

And that's it

[fast pike]

Some are interesting and some are just really bad unless you like a certain type of humor

Like I lost all respect for gorou after his hangout

[remote otter]

can confirm - have played all of em

[calm pagoda]

I have the newish ones left to do

along with yunjin's

[fast pike]

And some have the most obvious "mystery" solving, of an obvious fact like Layla, which is just annoying considering the length of a hangout

[neat kindle]

i did 1 hangout

noelle's

[fast pike]

Also if you need exp tomes to level chars when you're out of resin it's like 10 per char hangout

[neat kindle]

the rest aren't done

[calm pagoda]

I'm not that desperate XD

[fast pike]

Well some people are

[harsh swift]

[neat kindle]

never reallly had a problem with books once i passed the initial build up phase

[fast pike]

But I forgot you have main character syndrome and relate any general statement to yoursefl

[neat kindle]

could be a rpoblem for newer accounts or massive whales

i guess

[calm pagoda]

oop

[neat kindle]

i didn't even know what rewards they give since

noelle one was painful enough

[fast pike]

I thinks it's a difference of buying BP or not, I'm just drowning in Ressources at this point

[neat kindle]

doing that was sapping my will to live

[remote otter]

i have all endings complete bc i go for achievement completion

[neat kindle]

hmm i guess, but if you didn't buy bp i think if you were welkin only - probably not rolling chars so often would make it such that that much xp was required?

[harsh swift]

[fast pike]

Also hangouts can be useful if you're missing elemental shards of a certain element and don't wanna waste dust of azoth

[calm pagoda]

if you buy bp and raise every char and you're overflowing with resources...

[neat kindle]

i can see how it would be an issue with c0 rollers

that collect everything

:kekdog:

[remote otter]

literally only applicable to new players ngl

as someone who does weekly bosses and has hundreds of each shard

[fast pike]

I don't think new players nowadays should run into any Ressource issues anymore unless they also build every 4 stars they are never gonna play, cause the world map just gives so much and quests, teapot, events, you'd have to massively whale as a new player to run out of Ressources to build your chars

And then new players are limited to banners, so you can't even get more than 4 new limited 5 stars per patch

[remote otter]

inb4 spend primos on standard

[fast pike]

I have a friend who did that massively in 1.0

[neat kindle]

after inazuma I didn't really run into that problem anymore since I got more selective about who I was rolling

I'd rather get multiple cons rather than multiple chars nowadays tbh since I already have so many built

And building new ones is such a pain

[calm pagoda]

you have the funds :/

[agile swallow]

XDDDDD

[neat kindle]

Honestly if I was welkin only I'd still do the same

Roll even less I guess, but still multi cons

[agile swallow]

I would like to get all of the healers of every element

I know I'll run into a Jean sooner or later, but Yao Yao is sometimes a lifesaver, same goes for Barbruh

With that, there's not much need for a new character, maybe the odd Beidou for a taser team (I'll buy it) and any good character for meme builds

[neat kindle]

i'd like a strong pyro dps that can aoe

other than that i'm' mostly done

[fast pike]

What about dehya

[neat kindle]

she is neither strong nor dps

[harsh swift]

[fast pike]

I personally just like to build new chars and also play meme teams

[neat kindle]

too lazy

having to do boss 20 times with 2 min cd is a pain

talents are even worse

[fast pike]

Got enough powerful chars and teams at this point that I'm just pulling for variety

[neat kindle]

not to mention if they're locked by new world boss

[harsh swift]

[neat kindle]

i'm just pulling archons, female harbingers

odd adeptus or 2

i've only pulled furina in fontaine i think?

oh and neuv

[agile swallow]

So, no harbinger

[neat kindle]

i don't think i even pulled any sumeru char other than nahidaa

nilou was a mistake, i was pulling kuki cons

arlecchino, damselette etc i guess

[fast pike]

Sumeru had some good chars

[neat kindle]

at this point i have enough of a roster that it's hard to justify more chars

[harsh swift]

[fast pike]

Cyno, wanderer, Alhaitham are all solid DPS

[neat kindle]

i don't really like wanderer's attitude

but he's good qol

but i don't like him so i dind't roll him

[harsh swift]

[neat kindle]

alhaitham's great but i realised i didn't like counting his cds

less think more unga

[calm pagoda]

wanderer feels bad without a shielder

and C6 Faruzan ig

[neat kindle]

i considered rolling for faruzan for xiao

but i didn't want wanderer

so...

and i don't even use xiao anymore

[harsh swift]

might start to use xiao with cr though

[green cloak]

I always use him tbh I am used to not having shield on him and without c6 faruzan too 👀👍 he is my main rn

[calm pagoda]

hmm

he's fine in 9-11 of abyss

but 12...

[green cloak]

Ohhh in abyss yeah he die without shield 👀👍

Btw merry Christmas guys 🎉🥳 🎄🎁

[calm pagoda]

merry xmas

[green cloak]

I always use him in exploring and domain and other stuff but not abyss 👀👍

I am going to pull Mommy xianyun can't wait for her
U guys know when she gonna release 👀?

[fast pike]

Copyright infringement of x use without Elon musks permission

[fast pike]

About 5 weeks

[green cloak]

Ohh thxx kiss and merry Christmas

[fast pike]

You too

[green cloak]

Thxx now what u gonna give me as a gift 👀I am hungry yk give me a gift I can eat

[calm pagoda]

ah shit

[simple dawn]

we're getting a hunter set for alhaitham with this one 🔥🔥

[agile swallow]

I know that's only 20 resin, but

Why

Hutao hates that one

Geo looks kinda promising

But, no Ningg for the time being

[open pasture]

Ningg doesn't scale off DEF

[tribal breach]

Someone say Ningguang?

[remote otter]

bro wheres your crit rate

[tribal breach]

She's actually on lost prayers not solar pearl

So it's 73

I wish it was higher but oh well

[agile swallow]

Ik, but I don't have any Char that would use it, Noelle doesn't have her c6

[agile swallow]

Where's your navia bis?

Bi(tch)S

[simple dawn]

im using cr circlet on my fav gorou petra, and is still not 50% Cr

someday

[tribal breach]

WTF THAT WAS 20 RESIN

out of resin now tho

[twilit fossil]

I want to melusine survey why they decided to make a melusine character into a short human with ears instead of a melusine.

[tribal breach]

this is a certified Ganyu moment (i dont have her)

one more to go

[tribal breach]

yippee

my blizzard strayer artifacts are abysmal

my atk is so low

[calm pagoda]

it's a start

level your talents madge

[tribal breach]

why would i do that

[calm pagoda]

...

to do more dmg

[tribal breach]

nah

[shrewd oriole]

ABSOLUTE WIN W

my first limited 5 star weapon hahaha

[tribal breach]

ive encountered a problem

[calm pagoda]

...

time to farm some more

[tribal breach]

nope i had enouhg

[calm pagoda]

not crowned smh

[tribal breach]

not geo doesnt deserve it

[calm pagoda]

the opposite of me

[tribal breach]

rng is the only thing that kept me from triple crowning Navia instantly

well now that msr is 90 back to the new domain

and i suppose ill strongbox some BS artifacts till my Ayaka is like top 10% or something...

great start

[calm pagoda]

amazing

why did you even roll that

[tribal breach]

cdmg and atk

its all you need

[calm pagoda]

your feather is good already

[tribal breach]

it has no cdmg and min er roll

[calm pagoda]

cr is decent too :/

[tribal breach]

unnecessary

[calm pagoda]

helps with the leaderboard

(average dmg)

[agile swallow]

Say that to my boy heizou

Nada my goblet

Dude I'm so salty, it was like

The same 4 liner

Statwise and everything

And rolled exactly the same

No bs, wh?

No way

What?

I lit trashed that art for

What?

[calm pagoda]

an eye for an eye

[neat kindle]

why are you building em on heizou anyway

my understanding is you're supposed to build him atk/anemo/crit?

[calm pagoda]

the heizou build is confused

[shrewd oriole]

quite good yeah, should I farm the new set???

[tribal breach]

probably

the new set gives 50% damage bonus, versus having 18% more atk with 2p 2p

and you can always Bennett for more atk

Navia has a massive surplus of atk so balancing it out with more dmg% is good

[neat kindle]

main issue is the healing set seems kind of

shady

so prob not super resin efficient

[tribal breach]

no geo domain will ever be efficient

[calm pagoda]

truly embodying the element

[agile swallow]

Ah, yes, I was totally building EM leveling those double crit anemo goblet

[agile swallow]

In electro charged, em is like godlike

U know

A Furina went full health drain this morning at a Raiden coop run (I was close to the resin cap), and Raiden wiped us

There was this Navia hitting kinda high (for me, anyways), who didn't last 20 secs

I said "hol up, keep the Navia" and switched some arts and used Haran on c1 Bennett

We did it again, and a Raiden applied electro to the boss

40k+11k QE Bennett and a 100k e Navia

Like, not even 3 secs after startup invincibility boss was at 70% hp

[tribal breach]

Now that I actually have the highest base atk sword in the game maybe I should crown my Bennett and do some silly damage per screenshots

Lowkey glad I got MSR instead of Verdict because of how versatile it is and how unversatile Verdict is

Redhorn can at least be thrown onto someone as a statstick, or in the case of Noelle and Xinyan just as their BiS

Verdict is a mid statstick to begin with because of its stat distribution and the passive is functionally useless on most characters

While having an even more cracked Navia woulda been funny a) the weapon is useless otherwise and b) Unforged would still not have a place to go

[agile swallow]

Unforged works with crystalize?

[tribal breach]

Yes

So does geo resonance

[agile swallow]

So

That's a triple combo

ec comps don't really have ec as the bulk of the dmg...

it's mainly just raw dmg since ec does only tick dmg

Day 2 back in the domain and another 40CV GT flower

Guess my Albedo is back into the top 1%

Also got this funny piece, don't know when I'll ever need it, but I can afford to keep it, not like I'm lacking artifact exp at this point

I'd really like some good GT pieces besides flowers now if you don't mind hoyoverse

[calm pagoda]

hand them over

[agile swallow]

I'm talking about heizou

He's the driver there, mainly how a Sucrose would do for XQ Beidou and Fischl

He's triggering all of the swirls, so he needs to chug down any EM he can find

In other notices

I'm pretty sure they love Neuv back at the writing studio in hoyo, he's the only character so far in Fontaine to not having -#)-@ up something like royalty so far. He is, indeed, the Hydro Man

[neat kindle]

um

that's not really how driving works, but mainly how swirl works

anyway you're giving up on his e and q dmg if you choose to do that

i don't really think it's worth it, and if you're into that you should probably use suc instead

[agile swallow]

If you don't have sucrose, he's the man

[harsh swift]

regardless you're not really building around EC but swirl if you're doing that

[neat kindle]

anyhow

you should either go all in em or nothing

current build is kinda weirdge in that it's neither here nor there

if you're doing mainly swirls i'd think going pure EM is the way, with hakushin ring or something

[agile swallow]

Yeah, but you ain't running Heizou in a Chongyun comp, are you?

[agile swallow]

Ofc, he's the driver cuz he D R I V E S the other hits

[agile swallow]

What are you talking about?

There's not a single main em artifact in my heizou, and it has never been

[agile swallow]

.

[neat kindle]

that's why jh is saying it's a very confused build

it's neither here nor there

[harsh swift]

[agile swallow]

?

True that I have like 120 em by pure subs, plus Mappa Mare cuz I refuse to play him with Fontaine weaps

Holy, I do have 280 em

[neat kindle]

which isn't very consistent with how you're building him as a driver...
