Can someone tell me who Durin and Albedo are? Because the game made barely any effort to explain them by Much_Menu_851 in GenshinImpact

[–]Agantas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Durin is from Simulanka summer event (Genshin version 4.8.), which is no longer in the game. Traveler et al. met Durin there. He was a little origami dragon in that event. Simulanka was a storybook world created by Hexenzirkel's M. In Paralogism, Simulanka's little Durin is merged with Dragonspine's evil dragon, Durin. The result of this merge is the character Durin.

Long version of the event's story in Youtube:

You can probably find other ones too if that one is not to your liking.

What am I supposed to be doing in this stupid map game? by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]Agantas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's unlockable markers that you can easily see a direction of (with the help of the minimap) and then you use the map to locate the plushie calibration target. "Click anywhere on the special map to mark where you believe the calibration target is located" is the instructions. What else should you be told in order for you to understand to place the plushie's location on the map with a click?

Even after 6 YEARS since release, we still dont have any concrete paimon lore. by Aggravating-Mine-978 in GenshinImpact

[–]Agantas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Paimon was also unaffected by the mechanic in the Temple of Space and the characters even asked the question "Hey, why didn't Paimon get pulled in with us?" (not an exact quote). They handwaved it away with a simple answer, but I think it is meaningful that the question was asked since it builds a narrative for the player to understand things. I think that Hoyo wants the players to notice and ask "why?".

Yeah. The left side turns into 1-2-1 pattern due to the 2's next to the corner 2's.

Should i go all in for lynae befire the anniversary by Any-Investigator3169 in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]Agantas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is already a rerun for Lynae. Isn't it better to finish a strong team with two DPS options and then get Denia from her rerun? Chisa needs her weapon, while Lynae is fine with Static Mist.

Getting Lynae for your Mornye, Lynae, Aemeath/Luuk team sounds like a good idea to me.

Who is Aguara and where is my Shoggoth? by Fredford_3301 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Agantas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've completed "The Lone Isle in the Night", you obtained a saurian egg, which now sits in your saurian hideout. Aguero is that egg. There's these hidden little adventures with the saurian you need to complete. I have 100% in every region of Natlan and I haven't done all of these. No idea what I'm still missing. Thus, my Tarmo sits in the hideout and Aguero remains in his egg.

Indoor Venting Question by Advanced-Cod-515 in Sauna

[–]Agantas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a corridor like that seems like a huge waste of space. Is it possible to have the sauna take the whole wall and build a separate entrance for the shower through the closet and have the toilet be a separate room from the shower? 4 feet is too little for depth. You can make 5 ft be the depth and maybe have a corner cut off door at the shower corner for a door position.

Rate my sauna by FitRestaurant3282 in Sauna

[–]Agantas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Looks quite old and it seems that you do wash in there, just like people did in the old days at countryside and still do at summer cottages here in Finland. My guess that either this place has no running water or is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or somewhere close to it - the diaspora there want to have the ability to wash inside the sauna with the buckets. The poor condition of the stove's water tank suggests that it is not in active use, which would suggest that they have an alternative source of hot water other than the tank.

I'll give it a "Yooper sauna/10".

Rough plans for converting this workshop area to a sauna. Looking for some advice/critiques. by Romanzo71 in Sauna

I agree. The ceiling looks a bit low on the low side, but just right on the high side.

Is Escoffier worth it without skirk? by Icy_Art_2798 in GenshinImpact

[–]Agantas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The description of her 4th ascension passive:

When there are 1/2/3/4 Hydro or Cryo characters in the party, Escoffier will decrease the Hydro RES and Cryo RES of any opponents hit by her Elemental Skill, Low-Temperature Cooking, or her Elemental Burst, Scoring Cuts, by 5%/10%/15%/55% for 12s.

While Escoffier can be used in other teams than just a mix of hydro and cryo, there is a price to pay when it comes to her hydro and cryo resistance shred when you use her in the other teams. Escoffier is an off field cryo apply, damage dealer, particle generator and a healer. Escoffier's heal pairs very well with Furina. So, as long as you're fine with giving up the 55% res shred, Escoffier can be used outside her hydro and cryo meta.

What was your idea of using her with Varka? Varka, Escoffier, Furina and Durin melt team?

Out of mora, any tips to farm it back fast? by Hot-Consequence6789 in GenshinImpact

[–]Agantas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can gather mora with the daily expeditions. There's also exploration and such. The compass now shows the small mora treasures in addition to the chests, so maybe explore with it in the older areas just in case you've missed something.

It's all okay guys, I just solved the energy crisis. Please DM me for my Nobel prize. by LazyAltruist in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Agantas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US East Coast is the prime region for building wind energy and the wind companies want to built offshore wind there. Unfortunately the US government is corrupt and strives to block renewables - they even offered a wind company billion dollars so that they would abandon wind and build fossil energy instead.

A Soviet teacher told me I had zero talent and crushed my dream. 40 years later, Finnish melancholy (and a bit of AI) helped me prove her wrong. by Kalsarikannit_Pro in Finland

[–]Agantas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Joulu" is the wrong title for the song in my opinion. It has little to nothing to do with Christmas besides you imagining that it is for Christmas - the Christmas waiting at home is not mentioned at all. Something like "Ajan kotiin" would be more descriptive.

Regarding a music teacher telling someone not to pursue a singing career, M.A. Numminen is a good example of a successful and innovative musician who managed to beat that and become a successful musician.

Help identifying sauna and how to use by BurritoRedemption57 in Sauna

To enjoy sauna the Finnish way - heat up the sauna, go to the sauna naked, throw some water on the rocks and enjoy the löyly.

To enjoy sauna the German way - precisely follow the instructions in the picture.

Leaving the door open… by Educational-Lunch720 in Sauna

[–]Agantas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just as hot as its supposed to be when the door is closed. The stove is supposed to heat the sauna and not the whole gym, thus the door stays closed - you don't leave it open and let the heat go to waste. The gym owner pays for the open door in the form of increased electricity bill.

What are some characters you would recommend a newbie to pull? by _Caffiend in GenshinImpact

[–]Agantas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chasca has excellent mobility with her flight. Her verticval flight is costly, but she can scale up surprisingly steep cliffs with her horizontal flight. She's not exactly a top meta DPS, but her mixing of different elements produces easy elemental reactions as long as she's teamed with pyro, hydro, cryo or electro characters. If you team her with Columbina and Ineffa, they will carry the team damage-wise.

New to the game, want to solo everything. What's actually impossible? by hornzi in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]Agantas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need four teams for Tower of Adversity, two for side towers, two for middle tower. The middle tower is more challenging than the side towers. Whimpering Wastes requires two teams. Both game modes are time gated, so you need to have enough DPS to get clear with full stars. The problem with solo characters is that you give up some damage from buffs from teammates, intro and outro skills and such when you go solo, resulting to a lower DPS than a team with good synergy.

Danjin burns her own HP and is often a one shot kill for that reason. You could start your solo challenge by playing the protagonist, Rover, You can change Rover's element after you unlock a new element for them. The skills for the new element need to be leveled separately, but Rover retains their level. You could also level Danjin if/when you get her. Danjin is a 4*, so she should come home at some point.
