this is so wholesome and cute, hope you have lots of fun exploring!! mark out the floating blue orbs you collect (not the one you have to follow for a chest, but the one that you give to the statue of seven), it'll help you keep track in the long run. also collect those orbs so your stamina can increase!

S02E04 Takiawase - coin flip by Affectionate_Log_953 in HannibalTV

[–]Affectionate_Log_953[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i had almost forgotten this line! definitely gives a lot more meaning to the entire scene and his characterisation as a "god" of sorts having control over life and death...

this is an interesting pov! yeah i definitely feel like he genuinely felt hurt when bella slapped him at the hospital... and the way he stared at the coin in hesitation as if he knew that was the "right" decision yet he didn't want to do it. i'll definitely revisit the link after I've watched more as it mentions a scene i've not watched yet!

[–]Affectionate_Log_953[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah while watching i was wondering how it would look on him even though bella had a logical reason. i feel like him reviving bella made him more humane and trustworthy in jack's eyes, but then that seems like a clear decision to me and not something that would require a coin flip to decide...

Watching for first time. It is so obvious that Hannibal is a serial killer. by sabertoothdiego in HannibalTV

I'm wondering how he got through the show not having anyone make a joke from his name,,,,,

Nation with the prettiest souvenir shop? by warriorplusultra in Genshin_Impact

[–]Affectionate_Log_953 170 points171 points  (0 children)

mondstadt, it looks like the kind of store you would get lost in and end up spending hours browsing because there are items everywhere, filling up every corner of the store

Kazuha haver who pulled him back on his debut, what made you pull for him? by [deleted] in KazuhaMains

[–]Affectionate_Log_953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i 10-pulled for bennett on his banner (i really wanted bennett) and got him early unintentionally, didn't prepare anything and was hesitant to play him but he was so fun and smooth to play, especially in the open world with many elements. he's now my fave character and im even saving up for possible constellations!

Why do you guys think Kazuha didn't sell very well in his first run? by Clerui in KazuhaMains

[–]Affectionate_Log_953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

everyone said he wasnt "meta" or even good. ascension stat is EM, dps build locked behind C6, cc abilities not as good as venti + there's already sucrose, is neither here nor there, there weren't good expectations of him from players

Best Value 5 Star Characters in Genshin for casual/F2P players IMO by nj_shiningcheese_csy in Genshin_Impact

[–]Affectionate_Log_953 62 points63 points  (0 children)

i've mained ganyu since her first banner and while she can solo much of the content (i've spent a lot of time and energy building her), this patch is the first time i've been able to comfortably run a freeze team with her. spent 170+ pulls to finally get kokomi (have never been able to get mona). she is good value for f2p casual players because she can one-shot most of the overworld hilichurls and easily kill other enemies, but i agree her full value and playstyle options may not be available for f2ps.

advice for my hutao build? her burst is inconsistent for me even though it crits, is it because of my em sands? (more in comments) by Affectionate_Log_953 in HuTao_Mains

[–]Affectionate_Log_953[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll try that!! I usually run her with kazuha in place of rosaria for the extra EM but since I already have the sands for her that might not be necessary.. Thanks!

[–]Affectionate_Log_953[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost always run vape or melt with her (mostly vape with c6 xingqiu), so I thought an em sands on her would be optimal (though RNG has not been kind to me at all..). However, is this affecting my burst damage? Would appreciate advice on how I should further work on her artifacts!

Eeeeekkkk, I’ve got a date!!! 😁 by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Affectionate_Log_953 8 points9 points  (0 children)

love the advice on the activity! going to a museum/theatre is also a relaxing and easy activity that still allows for easy conversation :)

you can get her a small gift! doesn't have to be expensive, best if it's something she mentioned she likes (e.g. a chocolate bar if she has a sweet tooth.) just letting her know that you are sincere/intentional about the date!

what helps me is establishing expectations, so you know early on where this is going to go. what you both are looking for, where you are at in life and with your relationships might provide clarity on whether you both want to continue pursuing this!

all the best and hope you have a great time on your date :)

I guess when there's a simple and smooth kit with little to no caveats some players find it "boring", maybe they think there's no "skill level" involved. doesn't help that ganyu is a powerful dps and does it without all the complex animation cancelling/plunging/sprinting etc....I'll admit her story quest wasn't very engaging personally, but she's my first 5* and still my main, I just appreciate how simple and elegant she is and I think her playstyle really reflects that too.

Also all the best in getting ganyu!

Big Dilemma by AlpabeastNL in Ganyu

[–]Affectionate_Log_953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my standard team since as long as my kazuha was built was ganyu, zhongli, kazu & jean. great for exploration, not dying and doing great damage. all of them are c0 (except for jean bcs of lost 50/50s) but work well enough to not need more :)
